He Wanyi listened to Xiaoyun's words, and hurriedly expressed her gratitude, and was very emotional in her heart, if there was no Meng Zitao present today, even if they didn't give 100,000 in the end, it was estimated that there would be a lot of less, and they couldn't find out the true face of the stall owner, just thinking about it, I felt how painful that taste was.

Shu Ze smiled slightly: "If you want to thank Zitao for this, you will thank Zitao, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have found the catty in it, I was just waving the flag and shouting next to me." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shu Ze's words came out, He Wanyi and Xiaoyun were embarrassed, Meng Zitao had helped them before, but then he didn't even tell him his mobile phone number, and now he solved the trouble because of his help, they all felt very embarrassed.

For a while, the two girls didn't know what to say, but just walked along the road, and the atmosphere became awkward.

Meng Zitao glared at Shu Ze, knowing what was going on, why did he say that.

Shu Ze touched his nose, feeling a little wronged in his heart, he said this by himself, it was also to help you, who knew that the two of them were so thin-skinned?

At this time, the sudden sound of a mobile phone broke the awkward atmosphere.

"It's Man Dongsheng. Shu Ze took out his mobile phone and looked at it, laughed, and picked up the phone.

After a while, Shu Ze hung up the phone, and Meng Zitao asked, "Because of what you said just now, he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt?"

Shu Ze looked disdainful and said, "I said that you also underestimate me, if he dares to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, I can't kill him!"

Meng Zitao smiled: "I know you can, but isn't he calling because of what happened just now?"

Shu Ze said: "How can he have the ability to know what happened just now." It's just that there's an auction that you want to invite me to come over. He didn't do this to borrow my reputation. Pulling the big flag as a tiger skin, it is really beautiful for him, and I refused it in one bite. ”

Meng Zitao said: "According to what you say, he is still a little capable." ”

Shu Ze said: "That's for sure, if he doesn't have the ability, how can his auction house live so well." ”

Hearing this, Xiaoyun asked with some curiosity: "Since his company is doing such a non-standard job." And will anyone still agree to his invitation?"

Shu Ze said: "Of course there are, for example, some people who like the benefits will go, and there are some bosses who don't know." Will also participate. ”

"Those bosses aren't stupid, how could they buy something with such a high price?" Xiao Yun felt a little incredible.

This kind of thing, even if Shu Ze doesn't say it, Meng Zitao knows it. He laughs and says, "The word 'childcare.'" You should know that as long as you create a very sought-after spectacle, of course someone will do it. ”

"For example, an unwitting boss sees that the competition is so fierce, and the thing is something that he likes, or something that is particularly sought after in the market, and he makes a deal with a big wave of his hand. Other than that. Like you said, the price is too high. Of course, everyone is not stupid and will not continue to bid, but it doesn't matter, it is still a deal. ”

He Wanyi listened to the explanation and said in surprise: "In that case, wasn't the thing entrusted to buy? Is the auction house so stupid?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Of course, the auction house is not a fool, because in this way, this lot has a market at the auction, just like the stall owner just now took the auction house's transaction price as a reference, regardless of whether the thing is sold or not, it has already increased in value, and it will increase in value once when participating in an auction." ”

"Of course, usually such lots are acquired by the auction company itself, otherwise the cost will be too great. ”

"It turns out that there are so many doorways for the auction company. After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, He Wanyi and Xiaoyun were very surprised.

Meng Zitao added: "Of course, generally relatively large auction houses, such as Sotheby's and Christie's, will not do this, after all, everyone is not stupid, walking a lot at night, there will always be ghosts." And it also has a great impact on the reputation of the auction house. ”

Xiaoyun said: "Auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's also have a high threshold, and it's so troublesome to go there." ”

Shu Ze said with a smile: "It's okay, Zitao and I have just set up an auction company, if you have anything to auction, just look for us." ”

The two girls were stunned when they heard this, but they felt normal when they thought about it, because both Shu Ze and Meng Zitao showed extraordinary strength. Of course, they think so, and they don't understand the difficulty of setting up an auction company.

"Well, if there is a need, I will come to you then. ”

Xiao Yun grinned, and then she thought of the antiques she was carrying in her hand, and suddenly felt a little distressed: "What should I do with these things!"

"The bell must be tied to the bell, and since Zitao has picked out these things, of course he is sure to dispose of them. Shu Ze smiled at Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao ignored him and said, "In addition to the Guanyin statue, you can pack the other five pieces and transfer them to me, and I will give you 20,000 yuan." ”

Xiaoyun exclaimed: "Ah, you are not mistaken, there are 20,000 for five pieces!"

He Wanyi took over and said, "Yes, don't take care of us and suffer yourself." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "I know in my heart, if they are not worth 20,000, I will not remove that Guanyin statue." ”

Xiaoyun hurriedly asked, "What do you say about that Guanyin statue?"

Meng Zitao said: "It depends on your thoughts, you can collect it yourself, go to auction, or I can help you contact buyers." ”

"What! can you go to the auction?" He Wanyi and they were all stunned.

Meng Zitao said: "Of course, the market price of that Guanyin statue is two or three hundred thousand, which is more than enough for the auction. ”

Meng Zitao's words brought Xiaoyun back to his senses, and he couldn't wait to say to He Wanyi: "Hurry up and show me the statue of Guanyin." ”

He Wanyi said: "Don't worry, and it's not very convenient on this road." ”

As she spoke, she also looked at the standing statue in her hand with some curiosity, can such a statue of Guanyin, which is not even twenty centimeters tall and looks a little gray, be worth so much money?

Meng Zitao took over with a smile and said, "Anyway, it's almost noon, let's find a restaurant, and let's talk about it then." ”

Xiaoyun nodded in agreement, and looked around, looking for a suitable restaurant around, and after a while, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to a restaurant not far away that looked a little classy, and said, "Let's go, let's go to that hotel." ”

After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards the hotel.

He Wanyi smiled embarrassedly at Meng Zitao: "I'm sorry, she just said that the wind is the rain." ”

Meng Zitao and Shu Ze both smiled and said it didn't matter.

Walking into the restaurant, everyone first ordered food with the waiter, and then they paid attention to the standing statue.

Xiao Yun looked left and right at the statue and muttered, "Is this thing really worth so much money?"

He Wanyi said: "What is 'this thing', this is a statue of Guanyin, you should be respectful when you say it." ”

Xiaoyun stuck out his tongue and said, "I haven't seen you believe in Buddhism beforehand." ”

He Wanyi said solemnly: "Not to mention anything else, this statue can condense the labor and wisdom of the ancestors, so we have to respect it." Of course, if you don't think it matters, just let me say it. ”

Xiaoyun raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I respect her." ”

Speaking of this, she hurriedly asked Meng Zitao: "Shopkeeper Meng, where is this standing statue good?"

Meng Zitao explained with a smile: "Look at her, with high hair in a bun, wearing a lotus-petal-shaped crown, her face is full, her demeanor is calm, her eyebrows are delicate, her right hand is raised on her chest to present the Dharma seal, and her left hand is presented with a wish seal, wearing a shoulder-style heavenly robe, the clothes are parallel and drooping, there is a large backlight behind her, and the backlit outer ring is engraved with honeysuckle patterns......"

All these are the shapes of the Buddha statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In addition, because this kind of Buddha statue at that time used a square four-corner pedestal, it was commonly known as 'bench Buddha'. ”

"Is this the Guanyin statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Xiao Yun hurriedly calculated: "I remember that the Northern Wei Dynasty seems to have perished in the 6th century AD or the 7th century AD, so if you calculate it, it must have a history of nearly 14500 years?"

"Yes. Meng Zitao nodded.

"I mean, no wonder it's so valuable. Xiaoyun said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's not that the older it is, the more valuable it is, the key is to look at its artistry, craftsmanship, completeness and other aspects." Specifically, this statue of Guanyin, with its sonorous and powerful shape, complex clothing patterns and exquisite production, should be a masterpiece at that time, and the preservation is also quite complete. ”

"In addition, the bench Buddha is very rare or in incomplete condition, and it is precisely because of these conditions that it is so precious. It's a pity that the gilt on this statue of Guanyin has basically fallen off, and if it is better preserved, it will be even more precious. ”

"Hehe, it's already good, two or three hundred thousand, it's incredible to think about it. ”

Xiao Yun looked at the statue of Guanyin on the table obsessively, and both eyes seemed to glow with golden light. This made He Wanyi a little unbearable, and kicked her gently.

"Why are you kicking me?" Xiao Yun asked a little confused.

He Wanyi couldn't cry or laugh when she asked, she really wanted to change her position, pretending not to know her.

Xiaoyun reacted immediately, her pretty face flushed, she coughed lightly, and quickly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, today's matter is really thanks to you, Shopkeeper Meng, and these antiques were all picked by you, the trouble is caused by us, and the money is still earned by us, which is really inappropriate." ”

He Wanyi also nodded again and again: "It's really not suitable, I think it's not like this, this Guanyin statue is yours." ”

Xiaoyun couldn't help but be stunned when she heard He Wanyi say this, and complained a little in her heart that He Wanyi said it too quickly, but after thinking about it again, she felt that it was right to deal with it like this. Meng Zitao has helped them so much and recovered a lot of losses, how can he be embarrassed to possess this statue? )
