Chapter 207: Golden Arhat

"It's okay, since you're scared and you're not sure, I won't force it. Seeing that Ma Lijin hesitated, Xu Qiang smiled generously.

"I'd better come!" the shopkeeper stepped forward.

Because he knows very well that although Ma Lijin is a handsome man in the younger generation, and the white-collar workers he has identified are also very good, he is still young after all, and the accumulation of time is limited, and there is still a distance from him.

And Xu Qiang's ability is a mystery, but it can be expected to be very powerful.

If Malikin is allowed to go out, the possibility of being hit is very high.

"Second uncle, let me come!" Malikin stepped forward.

Because he figured it out, Xu Qiang used Yang Mou on him.

If he retreats and is seen by so many people who watch the excitement, it will definitely spread that he is afraid, and his reputation will suffer.

If he doesn't back down, it's unlikely that he will win against Xu Qiang.

But the notoriety left by retreat is definitely worse than the reputation of failure, so Malikin, who wanted to understand, took the initiative to stand up.

Please!

Xu Qiang stretched out his hand with a smile and asked Ma Lijin to identify it.

The last thing that Ma Lijin didn't understand when he looked at Xu Qiang was a statue of imitation bronze, which was full of traces of time and looked very ancient.

"Judging from the characteristics of the process, it is a batch product of mold pouring, and judging from the text mark below, it was produced in the middle of the Republic of China, and the artistic style is ......," Ma Lijin cautiously began to comment.

He still has ink in his stomach, otherwise he would not be known as one of the leaders of the younger generation in the antique world, and he has real skills.

He calmed down and quickly made an identification.

The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, he thought that Ma Lijin's appraisal was good, even if he was out of the horse, he said this set.

Because this bronze Arhat statue, to be precise, is a poured bronze statue, it is undoubtedly a product of the middle of the Republic of China.

Boss Song also nodded, and he also acknowledged the judgment made by Ma Lijin.

"My appraisal is over!" Ma Lijin looked at Xu Qiang.

He was really afraid that Xu Qiang would say, what you said was wrong!

"Are you sure?" asked Xu Qiang with a smile.

Are you sure?

If it is changed at another time, it is replaced by someone else who asks Malikin.

Malikin must have answered, sure, and sure.

Because of this bronze statue, the external features are too obvious, it is a product of the middle of the Republic of China, and there is nothing suspicious at all.

However, it was Xu Qiang who asked the question, and it was to subvert his uncle's appraisal results twice in a row, so the situation was naturally very different.

Seeing Xu Qiang smiling, Ma Lijin did not answer Xu Qiang's words, but picked up the bronze statue again and carefully identified it again.

After more than ten minutes, Malikin put the bronze statue down.

"I'm sure it's a cast bronze statue produced in the middle of the Republic of China! Because the workmanship is quite exquisite, and there are not many surviving in the world, plus this one is very well preserved, the market price is about 10,000 yuan!" Ma Lijin gritted his teeth, and he let go.

Bang Bang Bang!

Xu Qiang began to applaud, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

"Courage is commendable, young people's courage is commendable!" Xu Qiang spoke.

"Aren't you a young man?" Seeing Xu Qiang's elder tone, Ma Lijin was not happy, Xu Qiang was younger than him.

"Trouble you, find me a pair of needle-nose pliers!" After saying that, Xu Qiang faced his buddy Xiao Liu and asked him to find a pair of needle-nose pliers.

Xiao Liu was very puzzled, what are you looking for sharp-nosed pliers?

They immediately helped the market to find it, but looked at the horse shopkeeper, and when he saw that the tile shopkeeper nodded, he found a pair of needle-nose pliers.

Ah, everyone else is waiting to see what Xu Qiang is going to do?

Even those who watched the excitement had already started recording in advance.

Because they have a hunch, Xu Qiang is afraid that he has missed it again.

At this time, Xu Qiang picked up the fruit knife he had just used me, raised it, and slashed it down, slashing at the bronze statue placed on the table.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Xu Qiang's actions, Malijin was taken aback.

Before he could finish speaking, the knife had already fallen on the bronze statue.

I didn't go up directly, but just scratched the side of the bronze statue with the tip of the knife, and you can see that the tip of the knife cut a shallow opening.

"Don't worry, you'll know what I'm doing soon!" Xu Qiang put down the fruit knife and picked up the needle-nosed pliers.

He used the tip of the needle-nose pliers to pinch the cut he had made.

"The bronze statue is poured, can there be any secrets hidden in it?" Looking at Xu Qiang's unusual behavior, Malijin was seriously suspicious.

Just when he was suspicious, the crowd let out an exclamation.

Because Xu Qiang pinched the pliers tightly, and then pulled it outward, and suddenly a piece of bronze was pulled down, revealing the golden inside.

Only then did Malikin see clearly, it turned out that bronze was just a layer of skin, and under the bronze skin, the gold was actually gold.

He was constantly in contact with gold and would never admit his mistake.

When everyone was amazed, Xu Qiang broke off the bronze skin piece by piece.

The outer skin of the bronze is relatively brittle, so Xu Qiang only has a pair of needle-nose pliers, which is easy to peel off, and more and more golden parts are exposed.

The shopkeeper's face became more and more ugly, because Xu Qiang got four antiques in his store today, and each of them was problematic.

It's not that you lose money, but you make a lot of money on every piece.

Especially the last three, there are many people present to witness it.

Maybe it doesn't take until tonight, and the people in the entire Wenwan street will know that in their Ma family's Ma Zhi Chenggong antique shop, there are people who continue to pick up leaks, and they are all big leaks.

Picking up a spill is a pleasant thing, even exciting, but it's only for the person who picks up the spill, and for the person who is spilled, it feels like being robbed by a robber.

If you are really robbed by robbers, you can call the police, and there is hope to recover it.

But now it has been picked up, according to the rules of the antique industry, you can't find a back account, you can only suffer a dumb loss.

Because in the antique industry, the test is the appraiser's eyesight.

When the horse shopkeeper pressed a boulder on his chest, Xu Qiang had already turned the bronze statue into a golden statue, a golden statue more than a ton and a half meters high.

The golden statue made everyone swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Even if it's not an antique, such a large piece of gold is worth a lot of money, right?

"You can really create miracles!" Boss Song looked at Xu Qiang.

He admits that he has lost his eyes again, and at the same time secretly rejoices that he is more cautious and does not comment casually until the final result appears.

Otherwise, it will not only be the uncle and nephew of the Ma family who will lose face, but also add him.

"Luck, my luck is better, Boss Song, please comment......" Xu Qiang handed the golden statue to Boss Song.

Boss Song took it, it's so heavy!

I'm afraid it's more than ten pounds, and it's very overwhelming to pick it up.

It took about a quarter of an hour for Boss Song to complete the appraisal.

"According to my judgment, this is a golden Arhat statue from the Qing Dynasty, a statue of gold, not gold-filled or gold-plated!" Boss Song made a judgment with a smile.

He is in a very good mood now, and he estimates that his old rival Ma Shopkeeper, after today's continuous eye-piercing incident, will be a man with his tail between his legs for a long time.

"Malijin, why don't you take a second look?" Xu Qiang looked at Malijin, whose face was changing, and felt very happy. "Don't look at it!" Malikin shook his head in refusal.

In fact, as soon as the golden Arhat statue appeared, he had already come to an accurate conclusion, which was exactly the same as Boss Song's judgment.

Even if he looked at it again, it would be impossible to see more.

"How do you see that?" said Malijin looked at Xu Qiang.

When I was appraising it just now, I could see it clearly up and down, and it was indeed a statue made of bronze.

There is no flaw in the unity, and if you just rely on your eyesight, it is impossible to see that there is something inside, unless there is the legendary clairvoyant eye.

But Xu Qiang saw it, which made him very puzzled.

Could it be that Xu Qiang has any unique approach?

"You want to know?"

"Of course!"

"Why should I tell you?" Xu Qiang sneered, on the one hand, he didn't want to tell Malikin, and on the other hand, he couldn't tell him.

Because he could see that there was a golden statue inside, with the help of his ghostly eyes, he could see the aura emanating from different objects.

When he saw the bronze statue, he found that there were multiple auras inside and outside.

There are multiple aura, which means that the bronze statue is not simple.

After some research, he was determined to have a bronze skin.

Then he used a knife and pliers to peel off the brittle bronze on the outside, so that the golden Arhat statue hidden inside could be rediscovered.

"May I ask how much this statue is worth?" said one of the audience members who couldn't wait, and at the same time most of the audience wanted to ask.

"There are no marks and styles on the gold statue, but the carving is very exquisite, and it is made of gold, so it starts at least 10 million ......," Boss Song gave an estimate.

Soon Xu Qiang put away the three antiques, making everyone show a look of pity, any one given to them is worth most of their lives.

"Do you know why I'm here today?" After packing up the three antiques, before leaving, Xu Qiang looked at the shopkeeper and Ma Lijin with a smile.

Why come?

Hearing Xu Qiang's words, the shopkeeper was slightly stunned.

In fact, he has long been very puzzled, because in the antique industry, people who generally pick up leaks pursue the concept of making a lot of money in a silent voice, thinking that it is best to make money without revealing it.

Even if you miss it, you rarely say it on the spot.

And Xu Qiang not only said it on the spot, but also made a big fanfare.

This abnormal behavior is full of traces of revenge.

"Why?" asked the shopkeeper.

"For Ma Lijin, and today is just the beginning, as far as I know, your Ma family has five antique shops in Bingcheng, in addition to this main store, there are also four branches, you should have guessed what I want to do, right?" Xu Qiang finished speaking, laughed and left.

Xu Qiang left with a smile, but some people couldn't laugh.

Of course, it was Malikin who couldn't laugh.

Seeing that it was snatched away, the people who watched the excitement also dispersed.

Boss Song is gone, and so is Boss Qian.

In the huge antique shop, there are only two people left, the shopkeeper and Ma Lijin, no, and the waiter Xiao Liu in the antique shop.

"Xiao Liu, you are tired enough these days, from now on you will have a holiday, and you will wait for me to notify you when you go to work!" said the shopkeeper's gloomy face.

"Are you hiding something from me?" sent Xiao Liu away, and the shopkeeper closed the door of the store, leaving only him and Ma Lijin.

"How is that possible?" said Malikin's face stiffened.

"Xu Qiang has made it very clear just now, he is here for you, his revenge is so painstaking, it is definitely not an ordinary trivial matter, say, how long do you want to hide it?"
