Chapter 492: First in the world again
In his last life, Zhang Nan had a "Xuande furnace" cast in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, which was placed at home as a decoration, and he would also light some sandalwood to refresh his mind in his spare time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The stove is not big, but it is very thick, weighing three catties, and the luster is similar to that of the Buddha statue facing the gate.
It is that the color of this Buddha statue is more golden: the Xuande furnace is generally cast with high-quality copper, while Zhang Nan is more particular about the material, and about one-third of the gold is mixed in the copper, which is worth hundreds of thousands.
"What, there's a problem?"
Hearing that his brother-in-law was scolding again, Xiang Weirong habitually asked.
Even Comrade Xiang Weirong has already begun to have a headache about these Buddha statues, starting from the warehouse just now: a bunch of antiques that do not want to be collected, and are not suitable for donation, trading and trading, is the biggest torture for collectors and businessmen!
Xiang Weirong understands this truth now, and when he sees the Buddha statue in front of him, he thinks it is the same reason.
Zhang Nan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother-in-law, this is a golden Buddha, not the kind with gold leaf." ”
It's not pasted, it's gold!
Yes, the bodyguards from Huaxia all understood where the boss's distress came from, but Thomas they still couldn't understand it, and only paid attention to the sentence: This is a golden Buddha.
What a big one!
Randy stepped forward and tapped the Buddha statue with his hand, "Bang Bang", hollow.
"At least two centimeters thick. ”
When Zhang Nan heard this, he said to Randy: "The metal Buddha statues are all hollow, if they are solid, who can move them?"
Zhang Nan is not good at mathematics, but he also knows that the Buddha statue in front of him weighs at least one ton, and it is not necessary to have two or three tons.
Solid?
That's back!
It's not the one-person high-solid golden Buddha in "The Legend of Di Renjie's Case", and in the end, four monks carried it away: those monks are estimated to be aliens, or the director's mathematical level is worse than his own!
Xiang Weirong stepped forward and knocked on the bronze Buddha, "This is mixed with a lot of gold when it is poured, and there should be more than half of it." ”
Although I don't understand metallurgy, I can guess it by looking at the color and listening to the sound, which is very different from the sound of knocking on the copper plate.
"It's copper and gold, and gold should have six or seven percent, as the Burmese used to do six or seven hundred years ago. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Nan said again: "This luster is good, and it is not as dazzling as pure gold." ”
Be subtle.
Scratching his hair, "It's okay to transport it out, but what should I do?"
Such a big golden Buddha is estimated to be the kind of "name and surname" in Myanmar a few decades ago. Some Westerners will put Theravada Buddhist Buddha statues in their homes as decorations, but Zhang Nan will not, because he is a Chinese.
It is unlucky for people to put their own beliefs in their own homes.
Why Myanmar?
Thailand wore a pair of pants in World War II like Japan, and several other colonial countries should not be able to come up with such an exaggerated Buddha statue, but Myanmar.
Besides, even if you don't care about those exquisiteness, if you put such a big decoration in your own home, unless you never let outsiders see it, it will be a lot of trouble.
That improper decoration, such a thing can't be made public, let others spend money to leave, and in the end there is only one way: saw, smash it open and re-smelt and purify?
Whether it is extraction or other methods, Zhang Nan is afraid of retribution!
Leave it alone?
The Amber Palace itself has moved back to New York and placed in the basement, which will definitely not be left in such a volcanic eruption.
Hot potato, probably refers to this kind of object.
"Hoo ......"
Guan Xingquan exhaled and said: "I remember that there is a golden Buddha in Thailand that is even bigger than this, and the people in the past were fanatical enough, and they were not afraid of robbing it." ”
"The one you are talking about is in the Golden Buddha Temple, it weighs five tons, and it can be disassembled and transported. ”
As soon as Zhang Nan said this, he stepped forward and took a closer look.
"This can also be taken apart. ”
There is a slit in the neck of the Buddha statue, and it is estimated that the head of the Buddha can be removed, and in addition to the middle part of the body, there are also several seams around the body, which can be removed.
If you don't dismantle it, there will be a big problem when such a large Buddha statue is cast, and it is estimated that the Burmese people did not have that technology hundreds of years ago. It's kind of interesting, and the little devil still has the leisure to put it together when he leaves.
Ignore this out-and-out hot potato for the time being, there are still a lot of things in the warehouse, and I'll talk about it after checking it.
After walking in, I saw that there was a short iron shelf behind the Buddha statue, and there were many crates on it.
Open a few and take a look: they are all kinds of gold products, bells and whistles, messy.
Religious, life-...... These probably arrived in the Philippines late in the war, and the little devils had no time or energy to melt them into gold bars.
Because it's all messy, it's hard to estimate the weight, but it shouldn't add up to more than 50 tons.
There were also a few large wooden boxes in the innermost part of the warehouse, and after Chen Hao knocked on one, he saw a leg.
It's not human legs, it's golden metal legs.
Again, gold, at least half of it.
"It won't be the Golden Buddha again, will it?"
Everyone had a bunch of questions, and after all the big boxes were pried open, it was indeed a huge golden Buddha that had been dismantled.
"The unfortunate one is cut. ”
After checking the section, there are traces of melting at high temperatures with gas cutting.
"Reclining Buddha, the length of which is six meters. ”
Very exaggerated!
Seeing the second huge golden Buddha in this bitter room, Zhang Nan said: "I think the little devils also wanted to be the first in the world, so they didn't turn them into them." ”
Hiss, toothache.
The six-meter-long golden reclining Buddha is the world's first!
"No matter, let's move back when the time comes, let's put it in Montana's ranch base first. ”
The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and the living can still suffocate their urine to death!
He said silently in his heart: "It's better than waiting for a volcano to erupt here, you won't blame me, right?"
Lock the door and continue to smash open the ninth storeroom.
"It's still good, simple and refreshing. ”
The glittering, half-room gold bricks, each weighing 6.25 kilograms, contain 99.9% purity, and the two together meet the international specifications for strategic reserve gold ingots.
There are also marks on it, and some of them are not gold blocks cast by little devils, but from banks.
There are three kinds of markings, one from a reserve bank in the Philippines, but not the official one, about ten tons;
The second language is not recognized, God knows which country, and this part has twenty tons;
The third is simple, a Chinese bank from Indonesia, because the gold bricks are knocked on the top of the Chinese characters, there are also more than 20 tons.
The little devils melted the most, about 200 tons!
"The gold of the Chinese bank here alone is worth more than 200 million yuan and nearly 300 million US dollars, and the Chinese in Southeast Asia at that time were rich!
It's a pity that the rich Chinese are probably exterminated. ”
It was Chen Hao, who usually didn't talk much, who spoke.
After Zhang Nan listened, he patted the gold bricks on the shelf and said: "The Chinese people are too good at talking outside, and after being robbed by the devil, they were robbed by the indigenous monkeys. ”
There is no gun in his hand, and no matter how rich he is outside, he is a sheep to the slaughter, and he is still the favorite fat sheep of the robbers.
For Zhang Nan, this is the best warning!
