Of course, Ke Wenzhu also knew that what he did today would be disgusted by everyone in the association, but he didn't care now, the antique circle is not big, but it is not small, and it is not the same as before, Wang Zhixuan and others do have many friends, but who will not turn the world if they leave?

In addition, Ke Wenshu can't take care of these things now, for him, it is the right thing to solve his current troubles first, as for the rest, he will think about it in the future, anyway, he has made enough money now, so he can't do this business anyway.

At this time, the bodyguard took out another box, and after opening it, Ke Wenzhu took out an artifact from it and placed it on the table, and in an instant, countless pairs of eyes around him stared at him.

"A Buddha statue?"

"What kind of Buddha statue is this, and why does it look a little strange?"

"yes, I don't think I've seen it before. ”

"This is the Venerable Vajaravofdora, and it is also what we often call the laughing lion Arhat, but this kind of image is indeed relatively rare, I have only seen it once before, it is a statue of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

"Statues from the Yuan Dynasty?"

Some people were very surprised, the bronze gilt Buddha statue of the Yuan Dynasty on the market is indeed relatively rare, and this Buddha statue is extremely exquisitely cast, and you can know that it is not ordinary at a glance.

The statue is made of brass, with thick gold plated on the surface, which is just right for the robe and jewel, showing the softness of the fabric and the flexible beauty of the beads, and the depiction of the face and hands has a realistic effect, reflecting the craftsman's superb sculpture skills.

Ke Wenzhu smiled and said: "Yes, this is indeed a statue of Venerable Vajaravoforo made by the court of the Yuan Dynasty, I have asked several experts to appraise it, and they have given an estimate of 32 million, I don't know what you think?"

Hearing the price, Meng Hongchang was taken aback: "With the current market value, this Buddha statue shouldn't be able to reach this price, right?"

"I don't think I'm up to it. Cheng Qiheng agreed.

Zhang Jingqiang said: "Judging by the market value, 32 million is indeed a bit expensive, but we must also consider the scarcity of such high-quality Buddha statues in the Yuan Dynasty, and it is still possible to reach this price if it is auctioned." ”

"How can you judge by the auction price......

For a while, the people around were talking about it, most of them said that it was not worth it, and a small number of them felt that it was worth it, but at this time, they should share the same hatred, and they would not express it.

Ke Wen listened to the words around him, and he said: "It seems that everyone has a lot of opinions about me, so I have to suppress it myself, even if it is 30 million, President Wang, Shopkeeper Meng, what do you think?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "No matter what others think, I don't think it's worth it." ”

Ke Wenzhu was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I don't know how much Shopkeeper Meng thinks this is worth in his heart?"

Meng Zitao said: "A thousand yuan, I'm still too expensive." ”

These words made the surroundings quiet, and when Mencius said this, he clearly told everyone that this Buddha statue was not in the next generation.

Ke Wenzhu's face became gloomy: "Shopkeeper Meng, there should be a basis for what you say!"

"Of course. Mencius Tao talked eloquently: "In the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ministry of Industry of the Yuan Dynasty began to set up the 'General Administration of Craftsmen of All Colors', and the eighteen departments and bureaus such as the 'Brahma Statue Bureau', and the Nepalese artist Anigo was in charge of the palace for the production of statues. The statue combines elements of the Nun, Tibetan and Han styles, which is unique and has had a profound impact on the court statues of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The main characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty statue are that the face is plump and round, the face is delicate and beautiful, and the expression is light and soft. The bun is towering, and most of them are crowns with three or five leaves. The body is muscular, the shoulders are broad, the waist is thin, and the chest is plump. The bodhisattva is exposed on the upper body, wearing a jewel on the chest, and the particles of the jewel are larger, and the lower body is wearing a skirt with simple lines. The lotus petals of the lotus pedestal are large and full, and the bottom edge is rolled outward. ”

"Let's look at this statue of the laughing lion Arhat again, do you see that his face is full? Does it reach the style of demure and elegant, compassionate and tolerant in the Yuan Dynasty as in the records?"

Meng Zitao looked at the speechless Ke Wen, and then said: "There are some other characteristics, I haven't seen them reflected, for example, the shape of the rosette, which is completely in the creative style of the early Ming Dynasty, even if there is a little artistic feature of the Himalayas, but I don't feel it at all." ”

Hearing this, Ke Wenshu began to fight back: "Shopkeeper Meng, you have a long speech, this feeling, that feeling, can you take something practical to come out, do you rely on your feelings to judge the authenticity?"

Meng Zitao sneered: "You want evidence, I don't know if you have been to the Capital Museum, if you have been, you can find it on a statue of Sakyamuni that is also considered to be a work of the Yuan court, its facial shaping shows obvious 'sinicization' characteristics, and the style of the rosette is derived from the statue art of the Himalayas." This hybrid art style is also the greatest charm of the statue of the 'Brahma Statue Lifting Division'. ”

"Boss Ke, I'm going to ask you, even the artistic style of the statue is different, can you also press it on the head of the Yuan Dynasty court statue? If you didn't say so at the beginning, I still believe a little. ”

Listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Wang Zhixuan and others observed this statue up close, not to mention the slight difference in modeling, this statue is indeed remarkable, and it can be said to be a work of art. Unfortunately, the author's level of education may not be enough, so it leads to some mistakes.

But then again, some craftsmen may not have lied to people's minds, so they made Buddha statues according to their own ideas. As a result, it was bought by people with ulterior motives and sold as genuine, which is also possible.

Feeling the mocking looks around him, Rao is Ke Wen's face was already very thick, and there was still a tingling feeling, in this case, if he stayed here, it would be a problem with his brain, so he said goodbye, and let people leave with two things.

Ke Wenzhu walked outside, and someone came over, who seemed to be a bodyguard, and he was about to speak, but Ke Wenzhu waved his hand and sent him away, and Ke Wenzhu took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number.

"Did it get done?"

"No, it was destroyed in the hands of Meng Zitao. ”

"Why, did he bring two treasures with him?"

"He'll bring one, and I'm going to ask you!"

"Ask me?"

"Don't ask who you ask, you can see tens of millions of Buddha statues wrongly, and you can see it at a glance by Mencius, it's really enough!"

Speaking of this, Ke Wenzhu began to roar: "You will lose your eyes by yourself, but it will cause me to make a fool of myself in public! Tell you, let's write off the past things, and if you come to me again, it's a big deal to break the net!"

Ke Wenzhu hung up his mobile phone and asked the three bodyguards to go back with their things, and he left in a taxi by himself.

"Mencius Tao ......"

Meng Zitao didn't know that someone was talking about him, even if he knew that he didn't care, when Ke Wen left in a gloomy way, everyone applauded him, he hurriedly told everyone not to be polite, even if he is not a director, as a member of the association, he will come forward to deal with it, I hope that in the future, with the joint efforts of everyone, the association can develop and grow.

When the atmosphere calmed down, Meng Zitao asked everyone to come to the stage one by one to appreciate the handicap bottle he brought.

"I'm sure you've all seen this jar, I wonder what you think of it?"

"Good!"

"Fantastic......

Basically, everyone shouted yes and was amazed.

Meng Zitao motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then took out a small hammer: "Do you know what I am going to do with this hammer today?"

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Meng Zitao smashed the hammer on the plate bottle, only to hear the sound of "bang", the bottle was torn apart, and everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Meng Zitao said: "Okay, next, please come to the stage one by one, and then take a look at the performance of these porcelain tiles." ”

At this time, everyone didn't know that what Meng Zitao brought was a high imitation that was enough to be fake, which shocked them, because they didn't find any problems with the porcelain at all, that is to say, if they saw such porcelain on the market, they would definitely be blind, can their hearts not be shaken?
