Chapter 60: Maitreya Buddha Seated Statue
Zhao Ming was immersed in the artistic conception of the root carving carved from the small-leaf rosewood that was launched at the Magic Capital Treasure Appreciation Conference.
Zhao Ming's eyes seemed to be separated by a layer of mist, entering another world.
He looked at the old man sitting at the door of the cabin in front of him, who was turning his head back to teach his son.
"Let me tell you, now the soldiers in the city are arresting people everywhere, the matter between you and the two dogs has been discovered, you said that you two, dig up such a thing in the ancient tomb, although this thing is worth a lot of money, but you have beaten the life of the two dogs, you know the parents of the two dogs......"
The old man suddenly stopped talking, and he saw his son bow his head, and suddenly choked up.
"Alas......" the old man sighed and shook his head again and again, he couldn't bear to see his son so sad, he knew that she had a very good relationship with Ergouzi.
"Father, don't I want to build a good house for our family? You said that you have worked hard for so long, don't I also want to let you live in a good house by my own ability......" The middle-aged man said in a choked voice.
"But who knows, since I got this Maitreya Buddha statue with Ergouzi, Ergouzi died suddenly. I saw this middle-aged man looking at the Buddha statue in his hand with a frightened expression.
I saw that the seated statue of Maitreya Buddha was still stained with a trace of blood.
Zhao Ming didn't see it very clearly, but although through this mist, he could be completely sure that the seated statue of Maitreya Buddha in the hands of this middle-aged man was the Buddha statue in the root carving of the treasure appraisal conference in the magic capital.
When Xiaomei heard this, she knew that this seated statue of Maitreya Buddha must have an unusual origin. Because the old man had already said that this Buddha statue was poured out of the ancient tomb by his son and his good friend.
"After I carve the roots of this small-leaved rosewood, I will exchange it for some money, and then give it to the poor second dog's parents, and the rest of the money will be regarded as a property left to you by my father, but you have to remember my son, don't go to a place like the ancient tomb in the future......"
I saw that the old man picked up the small file used for carving again, and then carved carefully.
Suddenly.
Zhao Ming returned to real life all of a sudden, and now she completely understood the origin of the Maitreya Buddha sitting statue in this root carving.
It seems that this sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha should be an ominous object, although it is said that it is made of fine agarwood, but this sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha seems to be contaminated with human life.
No wonder the old man wanted to make this small-leaf rosewood carving look like a temple, it seems that he wanted to seal the hoodoo inside.
"Presumably, everyone has a general understanding of the root carving carved from the fine small-leaved rosewood in the middle of the stage, and the owner of this root carving put this collection on the treasure appraisal conference of the magic capital, just to let you estimate a price that satisfies him. The host looked around at the audience below the stage.
"I don't know if the treasure connoisseurs here have any unique opinions, you can hold up the sign in your hand, and then come to the stage to make a final estimate. At this time, the host motioned to the treasure connoisseurs in the audience to hold up the sign in their hands.
Zhao Ming took a general look, and then saw an elderly man holding up the sign in his hand.
After the host saw someone holding up a sign, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Okay, let's invite this treasure connoisseur to the stage. To everyone's applause, the elderly man stepped into the middle of the stage.
"Why don't you let the two of us go up? I already know the price of rosewood now, and it would be very easy to make an estimate of this kind of rosewood, for the two of us. I saw the two young treasure connoisseurs next to Lin Yu ask.
Lin Yu said to the two people unhurriedly at this time.
"You two are very clear, aren't others clear?" Lin Yu was a little speechless.
"I tell you two that when this old man has made his final estimate, you two will go up to me to overturn his remarks, and no matter how good the price he offers, you two must give different prices and opinions. Lin Yu arranged his two subordinates.
Lin Yu has his own abacus in his heart. Because he now understood that what he was going to do now for the two young treasure connoisseurs was to overturn the remarks of the most influential treasure connoisseur in the Demon Capital.
In this way, you can get a blockbuster effect.
The two young treasure connoisseurs nodded thoughtfully, and then sat there calmly, looking at the old man on the stage.
I saw that the elderly man walked up to the middle of the stage, picked up the microphone, and said to everyone.
"I'm the owner of the Gendiao shop on Antique Street in our magic capital,*. The old man introduced himself.
In fact, when the old man walked on the stage, someone had already recognized him.
"If you want me to say, in Gendiao Street, Old Man Wang is the most rooted, and he has enough right to speak, and only he is qualified to value this root carving made of small-leaved rosewood. The audience was full of discussions.
After Zhao Ming heard others say this, he understood in his heart.
It turned out that this old man was the owner of the root carving shop in the magic capital, so it was no wonder that he had the confidence to go on the stage and make the first valuation.
It seems that he is a person of great status.
"This small-leaved rosewood root carving has been baptized for decades, and it is still well preserved, and the luster on it is also very good, and such a huge root carving is rare. ”
I saw the old man carefully observing the root carving, and kept talking about the advantages of this root carving.
"As far as I know, like such a huge root carving, there is no wood root of a tree hundreds of years old can not be made, and the knife work on this is exquisite and picturesque, each stroke is very stable, according to the current root carving market. An antique root carving like this, and it is so exquisitely made, plus its material is so special. ”
The old man did the right thing, and then said thoughtfully to the audience.
"The price I have given ......," said the old man, holding up four fingers.
"Four million. ”
As soon as this price came out, the people in the audience did not have any doubts, after all, in Gendiao Street, this old man Wang has full right to speak.
"Okay, let's thank Boss Wang. After the host invited Boss Wang off the stage, he picked up the microphone and said to the people.
"4 million, this is a very high price, so do the treasure connoisseurs in the audience have any different opinions? If there are no different opinions...... "Before the host finished speaking, the audience held up another sign.
"I have an opinion. Sure enough, one of the treasure connoisseurs beside Lin Yu raised the sign in his hand, and then shouted loudly.
"Okay, now someone has raised the sign in his hand, and it is obvious that he has a different opinion on the price estimated by Boss Wang. The host was also very surprised when he saw the treasure connoisseur who was slapped in the face by Zhao Ming just now, and raised the sign in his hand again.
I saw the young treasure connoisseur walking on the stage leisurely, without the slightest hint of nervousness.
"The root carving of this small leaf rosewood is indeed very good, but unfortunately, it is only a thing of the Republic of China, if it is from the perspective of antiques...... "When the young man saw a certain time, he glanced at the old man Wang in the audience.
"According to the latest international standards, this small leaf rosewood carved root carving, you can go to the Internet to take a look, the price given is only more than one million, I remember once in an international auction, on the auction of a carved root carved from rosewood. ”
I saw this young treasure connoisseur talking endlessly on the stage.
"Although the volume is much smaller than this, it is only sold at a price of 380,000 yuan, after all, from the perspective of antiques, what he carved is not very satisfactory. Because he is not sculpting people or things, he is sculpting a building, so that its value is greatly reduced. The connoisseur had no intention of stopping, he continued.
"So according to the value of his age, plus, the value of his engraving, 1.8 million is already the highest price I can give. "The result that Lin Yu brought was to give this kind of price.
The people in the audience were also surprised when they heard this price.
What they didn't expect was that someone would dare to question the most famous boss in the root carving world.
"Okay, the price of 180 yuan, this price is not much different from the price given by Boss Wang just now. The host saw that the price given by the two people was so different.
He also knew in his heart that a moment could be a fierce war of words.
"Young man, you don't want to rely on your youth to talk nonsense at will, do you know how rare it is in the market to carve such a huge small leaf of rosewood?"
Calling at yourself on the root carving is no different from grabbing your own job.
"Mr. Wang, don't get excited, realize this rarity, but what I want to say is that this is an antique treasure appreciation conference, not your back garden, there are some literary and artistic works that everyone seems to understand. ”
The young treasure connoisseur uttered a wild mouth.
"You ......" Old man Wang was so angry by the young man's words that he couldn't speak for a while.
"Mr. Wang, this is a treasure appreciation conference, not an exhibition of literary and artistic products, I am completely out of this antique, to bring you a sense of history, as well as the price given by culture, you know, 1.8 million is already not a low price, of course, this has to meet some favorite bosses, otherwise, who will put a thing in their home during the Republic of China. ”
The young treasure connoisseur's words were full of disrespect for Old Man Wang, and he laughed at Old Man Wang's art of root carving, to be honest, it was like stepping on someone's head and.
