"Brother Li, can you show me this ivory carving first?"
Zhuang Rui didn't know Li Yunshan's thoughts, and he didn't know that Li Yunshan was afraid of the old man who was afraid of death and scolded him for selling his grandfather's field, Zhuang Rui just liked this work that could be called a large ivory Buddha statue, and wanted to play with it in his hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, of course, you can come over and take a look, the weight of this thing doesn't count-
This object is not small, and the ivory carving works are relatively fragile and fragile, Li Yunshan beckoned Zhuang Rui to his booth to see, and he was still wondering in his heart, should this thing be sold, and if so, how much should it be sold?
Zhuang Rui was not polite after hearing this, and directly stepped over the stall, walked to the side of the box, and took out the ivory carving that was almost as high as the box, and placed it on the ground.
In this way, the whole ivory carving ornaments, it is completely presented in Zhuang Rui's eyes, the King Kong figure on this angry sun diamond ivory carving work, one foot on the ground, one foot slightly raised, the shape of the face is extremely exaggerated, the mouth is open, the nostrils are facing the sky, the eyes are looking ahead, the right hand is holding a vajra, the chest is exposed to the strong muscles, the front of the body is fluttering, very beautiful.
Zhuang Rui has read some books about ancient Buddha carvings, this ivory carving ornament, should be forgiven is a typical Sui and Tang Dynasty Buddhist statues, that is, adhering to the traditional Chinese carving exaggerated freehand style. It is also in line with the aesthetics of modern people's health and beauty of the human body.
It's just that I don't know how this thing that should be my own country came to Myanmar, saying that in the past, only China bullied Myanmar, but Myanmar did not have the strength to burn, kill and loot in China.
Carefully observing the subtleties, Zhuang Rui can see that the carver of this work has extremely profound skills, the knife is in place, the lines are simple and smooth, the details are clear and natural, and the most special thing is that the work is full of knife marks, and there is no way to polish off the carving marks, which fully reflects the characteristics of ivory.
On the one hand, it increases the strength and appeal of the work, and on the other hand, it also shows the author's full confidence in his carving skills.
Zhuang Rui did not use the aura to identify, so it can be asserted that this ivory Buddha carving is definitely an old object with years, and it should be the Qing Dynasty at the earliest, because not to mention the scarcity of modern ivory, that is, during the Republic of China, craftsmen with such craftsmanship are rare, and they can be called master-level craftsmen.
Zhuang Rui turned his back to Yang Hao and others, and released the aura to the ivory carving, and sure enough, as he expected, as soon as the aura penetrated into the surface of the ivory carving, Zhuang Rui appeared, and it contained a rich purple aura "Ming Dynasty! At least the objects of the Ming Dynasty...... Zhuang Rui was overjoyed in his heart, and wanted to include it in his bag. "Huh, why is there a rift?!"
Zhuang Rui didn't wait for the aura to go deeper, under the side arm of the ivory carving, there was a crack about five centimeters in size, and it extended inside, as if it had been repaired, as if a small round door had been opened there, and then the door was closed again. "Damn, what is this?"
Zhuang Rui's gaze continued to look inside along the small door, and he was suddenly stunned, because the chest of this Buddha sculpture was actually hollowed out, and in that small space, there were two wax pills. ", what the hell is this?!"
This thing naturally couldn't resist the perspective of Zhuang Rui's aura, and the aura instantly wrapped the wax pill, Zhuang Ruixian, inside the wax pill were two small paper balls kneaded together, which made Zhuang Rui dumbfounded, even if he was powerful, he couldn't tell what was written in the paper ball.
At this time, Zhuang Rui's heart, it was like being scratched by a cat, its itch was incomparable, people were curious, the things in this Buddha carving were obviously hidden in it by later generations, and this mystery must be in the two wax pills, this secret in front of him, but it could not be revealed, which made Zhuang Rui's heart uncomfortable.
"Boss Zhuang, you can sell it, but this thing has been in my house for many years, in our domestic language, it is an antique......?
After Li Yunshan struggled beside him for a while, he still decided to sell it, after all, this thing was kept at home, and it couldn't be eaten, and in the environment where he lived since he was a child, he was surrounded by Chinese, that is, his mother, and the daughter of Chinese, not like those Burmese people, who believe in Buddhism, so they don't feel that there is anything wrong with selling this Buddha statue.
Such a large and delicate ivory carving, if it is placed in the home of the Burmese people, it will definitely be enshrined like a treasure and worshiped day and night, but in Li Yunshan's house, it is just under the bed for decades, and when the old man was bored during his lifetime, he occasionally took it out to "think about it". "Well, Brother Li, there's no problem with this, I'll take a closer look, this ivory carving seems to have traces of repair, one by one, one by one"
Zhuang Rui's mind at this time was on the ivory carving ornaments, according to the habit of bargaining when buying objects, he replied casually, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it, if the stall owner saw any clues, then he would lose a lot.
"Oh, you're talking about that crack, right? I had it when I was a child, maybe my grandfather accidentally cracked the magnetic crack before, it shouldn't affect it, right?
After Li Yunshan heard Zhuang Rui's words, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, since he decided to sell it, then he naturally wanted to sell it for a high price, if Zhuang Rui talked about this crack, Li Yunshan really didn't know how to bargain, after all, he didn't know anything about antiques.
"It doesn't affect, the overall shape of this ivory ornament is very good, and it is normal to have a little flaw, let me take a look, Brother Li, you estimate the price first, let's talk about it later......" After taking a few deep breaths, Zhuang Rui calmed down.
Zhuang Rui is now focusing on the repair surface, he is now repairing the surface and the materials used in it, should be using milky white silicone, after a long time, it is also slightly yellowed, if you don't see it with aura, simply look at it with your eyes, it is really not easy to perceive.
This made Zhuang Rui even more curious, you know, latex was only used in the early part of the last century, and it was impossible to have this kind of material in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
And the wax pill in this ivory ornament is a unique secret letter transmission method in ancient China, as if since the Qing Dynasty, silently changed to a secret letter sealed with fire paint, these two completely unequal things are combined, so that Zhuang Rui is also a little puzzled, what secrets are hidden. "Let's buy it and talk about it......" Zhuang Rui made a decision in his heart, the paper ball in the wax pill, he would never be able to recognize the font in it by his aura alone, if he wanted to figure it out, he could only take out the wax pill, then he had to make this ivory Buddha sculpture his own.
"Brother Li, I won't hide it from you, this ivory Buddha carving should be an old thing before the Republic of China, it can be regarded as an antique, I like this object very much, it's good at home, you can make a price, if it's suitable, we will ......make a deal."
Because of Li Yunshan's attitude at the beginning, Zhuang Rui was afraid that he would not want to sell it again, in order to show his sincerity, he bluntly said that this object was an antique, but in terms of age, Zhuang Rui played a little trick, he only said that it was before the Republic of China, but he did not say that this object was something from the Ming Dynasty, of course, the Ming Dynasty was also before the Republic of China. "This ...... I don't know very well, little brother, if you really want it, give this price o ba... Li Yunshan lowered his head and thought for a while, then stretched out two fierce fingers.
Seeing Li Yunshan's gesture, Zhuang Rui asked, "Twenty thousand dollars?" This is a bit expensive
While speaking, he frowned, but he pretended to be like this, saying that this thing will be verified in a domestic way, if you can find out the origin of its inheritance, it is normal to detain eight million, but this business is to bargain, Zhuang Rui naturally wants to lower the price.
It's just that Zhuang Rui didn't show up, after he said the price of 20,000 US dollars, the pupils in Li Yunshan's eyes shrank in an instant, this is the normal reaction of people who are surprised, Li Yunshan is not that Zhuang Rui has less money, but this price frightened him, and the meaning of his two fingers is just two thousand dollars.
You know, ivory carvings are very common in Myanmar, although the ivory material of this ornament is not small, but: in this part of Myanmar, there are also some objects that are larger than the gift, the price is only one or two thousand dollars, and the per capita income in Myanmar is very low, one or two thousand dollars, enough for a family for several years.
Li Yunshan set up a stall here to do business, and the money he earned in a month was only a few hundred dollars, and if it was 20,000 US dollars according to what Zhuang Rui said, then Li Yunshan would be a huge amount of money.
"Little ...... Little brother, it can be cheaper, you have to ...... Otherwise, don't you see 100,000 lines? My things are handed down by my grandfather, and if my grandfather is still alive, I won't sell them one by one, eleven and eleven
Li Yunshan was so excited that he stammered a little when he spoke, he was afraid that Zhuang Rui would not buy it, so he took the initiative to drop two thousand dollars, and said that this was his grandfather's relic. "Eighteen thousand...
Zhuang Rui muttered a sentence in his mouth, and then looked around the Buddha carving, nodded heavily, and said: "It is fate to meet Brother Li, one hundred thousand eight, just one hundred thousand eight, but Brother Li, can this thing be taken out of the country? If I am confiscated by the customs again, then I will be wronged......
Zhuang Rui does not know whether Myanmar prohibits the export of such items, and if it is really as he said, it is really not worth buying it and confiscating it.
"No, no, let's do it, little brother, wait a minute, I'll help you open a ticket for handicrafts......" Li Yunshan actually didn't know whether this thing was forbidden to be exported, but he knew that as long as there was a ticket issued by a state-run store, he could definitely take out the things he bought in Myanmar. Li Yunshan beckoned a familiar stall owner to the stall next to him, asked him to help take care of it, and then ran to the state-owned store at the entrance of the Shwedagon Pagoda in a hurry. Chapter 439 "Brother Zhuang, more than 200,000 yuan to buy this thing, is it worth it?"
Yang Hao saw Zhuang Rui rubbing this ivory Buddha statue up and down, and asked a little puzzled, in his impression, most of the things sold by these tourist attractions are fake, Zhuang Rui took out 200,000 yuan this time, maybe he will be slaughtered by Li Yunshan.
As the saying goes: fellow villagers, a shot in the back, people who come to Myanmar for tourism, but also the most Chinese, to say that Li Yunshan will treat the Chinese differently, anyway, Yang Hao does not believe it, businessmen seek profits, slaughter their own people.
"Value, of course it's worth it, such a large and complete ivory carving work is rare in China, and the price of ivory carving handicrafts has risen sharply in recent years, and maybe it can be doubled if you bring it back......."
Zhuang Rui didn't dare to say more, if he said that this thing could be worth seven or eight million if it was verified by its age, it would definitely scare Yang Hao, Zhuang Rui had a feeling in his heart, such a large object, there would definitely be records in some domestic materials. "Hey, Brother Zhuang, you really don't have to say anything about your eyesight, it's easier to make money......
Yang Hao stuck out his tongue and said with envy, although he and Zhuang Rui have not known each other for a long time, and they have only met three times, but every time they meet, Zhuang Rui's net worth is like a rocket, and it rises suddenly.
While the two were chatting, Li Yunshan hurriedly ran back, holding a rectangular box made of bamboo, the size of which looked just right to hold the ivory Buddha statue, which was a bamboo box made of Burma, and this box cost thirty or forty dollars, which was bought by Li Yunshan and given to Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui put his hand together, and Li Yunshan, carefully put the ivory Buddha statue into the bamboo box horizontally, and then stuffed the sponge and waste newspaper around it, the bamboo box itself is elastic, so that even if there are some collisions, it will not damage the objects inside.
"Little brother, you take the ......" After packing up, Li Yunshan pushed the box to Zhuang Rui, and handed over the ticket he had just issued, which was in Burmese, Zhuang Rui couldn't understand it, and after taking the ticket, he handed it to Peng Fei.
Peng Fei glanced at the ticket, nodded, handed the 108,000 yuan knife that had been counted just now to Li Yunshan, and picked up the box from the ground.
Carrying this big box, there is no way to go around, but fortunately, the Shwedagon Pagoda has been toured, Zhuang Rui, Yang Hao and Peng Fei took a taxi and returned to the hotel.
The Myanmar New Year Jade Market is scheduled to open on January 1, and most of the businessmen at home and abroad are rushing to Yangon today, Zhuang Rui walked into the hotel, and saw a lot of familiar faces, gambling on the stone is so big, well-known jewelry companies are those few, it is difficult to touch it.
Greeting the wool merchants from China, Zhuang Rui got into the elevator, he felt that he had become a giant panda, everyone wanted to touch it, just now even a fat woman with the smell of perfume wanted to give him a hug← but Zhuang Rui was scared a lot← "Peng Fei, you kid is not authentic, the boss is surrounded by people, you don't say come to relieve the siege"
After saying goodbye to Yang Hao and returning to the hotel room, Zhuang Rui looked at Yan Fei with dissatisfaction and said, this guy ran fast with a box just now, but fortunately he knew that he was waiting for him at the elevator door. "Hehe, boss, according to my analysis, that woman has absolutely no ...... for you to fast"
Maybe it's because his sister has been placed, Peng Fei has been talking a little more than before these days, occasionally joking with Zhuang Rui, he respects Zhuang Rui in his heart, but on the surface, he doesn't call the boss all day long like Hao Long, which is also Peng Fei's attitude after recognizing someone. "Okay, stop talking nonsense, take out this ivory carving, I'll go take a shower first......"
Zhuang Rui was a little impatient to uncover the secret of the ivory carving, but this trip was very uncomfortable, so he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When Zhuang Rui came out, the ivory Buddha statue had already been placed on the table in the living room, and Peng Fei was carefully observing. "You kid, you haven't sweated much after running for a long time......"
Zhuang Rui glanced at Peng Fei enviously, when he first saw him, it was when he was several feet below zero, this kid was dressed so thinly, and he didn't see the cold, but now on this hot day, he didn't sweat.
"Brother Zhuang, can this thing really be worth hundreds of thousands?"
Peng Fei had been walking around this ivory carving for several days just now, but the shape was just a little special, and he couldn't see that this thing that couldn't be eaten or drunk was so valuable. "Hundreds of thousands, hehe, Peng Fei, there will be a zero ...... later"
Zhuang Rui laughed proudly, as the saying goes, gold and antiques in troubled times, when the war is in chaos, these things are worthless, and they are tired of praise, but in today's world, it is a priceless treasure, in short, Zhuang Rui will not sell this thing. Small table...... See you?"
Peng Fei's lips squirmed, looking at this Buddha sculpture in disbelief, he knew how Zhuang Rui's success came about, this is even more lucrative than drug trafficking, and there is no risk, at this time, even Peng Fei wondered in his heart, should he also learn the knowledge of antiques, after all, this security cannot be done for a lifetime. "Well, but I don't sell this thing, and I don't think I can get a few ...... in China."
Zhuang Rui has already paid attention to the ivory carving at this time, he is thinking, how to open the "door" that was repaired into it again, and take out the wax pill inside, of course, Zhuang Rui doesn't want to damage this Buddha carving, otherwise he will throw it on the ground and listen to the sound, and the thing will be taken out. "Brother Zhuang, I heard that you went out and came back with a whole good object?
When Zhuang Rui was engrossed in looking at the tooth carving, Song Jun's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and when he looked up, Song Jun and Ma Fatzi didn't know when they entered the house, and the sound of ringing the doorbell and Peng Fei opening the door just now, Zhuang Rui didn't hear it at all. "One of you two is afraid of heat, the other is afraid of walking, I can't shout either......" Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly, but he didn't say that he was still afraid of being unsafe.
"Good things, really good things, such a big ivory carving, it's really rare, and look at this shape and dentin, it should be a thing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Brother Zhuang, you missed a lot of things, how come any good things, you have touched them......"
Song Jun took a magnifying glass, looked at the ivory carving for a long time, and looked at Zhuang Ruilai with his eyes, his little brother is simply a god, he can meet good things wherever he goes, this ivory carving is obviously an old object in China, and he can actually find it in Myanmar.
Zhuang Rui was so crying and laughing by Song Jun that he replied angrily: "That's because you are lazy, don't say it's me, even if you see it, you will definitely buy it, Brother Song, if you go to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda first, maybe this thing won't have anything to do with me......" "Shi is also fate, it should be yours, no one can rob it, but Brother Zhuang, how about you transfer this thing to me? The old man will definitely like it when he sees it......"
Song Jun's eyes rolled, and he wanted Zhuang Rui to sell this object to him, seven or eight million is nothing to Song Jun, some time ago due to the old man's poor health, the Song family's industry has made some adjustments, and a lot of investment has been recovered, and now Song Jun's spare money is several hundred million, to say the least. "Brother Song, you have thought about this, my courtyard still lacks these things, by the way, Grandpa Song likes calligraphy and painting, it has nothing to do with it, you don't pull tiger skin to make a banner......"
Zhuang Rui unceremoniously rejected Song Jun, he now regrets selling the manuscript and Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduantu" to Song Jun, Zhuang Rui now knows how difficult it is to get those objects again, and the domestic antique market is full of fake things.
"You kid, forget it, but the jade you promised me must be found,:1!!11. r。。。 ”
"When did I promise you? Aren't you unreasonable...... Zhuang Rui was a little helpless, this Song Jun is in his forties, and it is estimated that the children are in high school, and he is also a princeling, and he can't bear to play a scoundrel.
"Well, can I keep it for you?"
Zhuang Rui said good things in his mouth, and sent these two out of the room, he didn't have the heart to fight with Song Jun now, the mysterious wax pill in the ivory carving made him really a little itchy. "Boss, this place doesn't look like it's a, otherwise it wouldn't be so regular, right?"
Seeing Zhuang Rui vigorously looking at the armpit of the ivory carving figure, Peng Fei also leaned over to take a look, his eyes were also very poisonous, although the traces of the repair were already very faint, but Peng Fei still saw that this shape did not seem to be bumped.
"Hmm, you can see it? This is indeed not like a crack that has been smashed, but it looks like it has been dug out, a bit like a small door that has been deliberately opened, ancient people often liked to hide treasures in the belly of the enshrined Buddha statue, do you think there will be something in it?"
Zhuang Rui glanced at Peng Fei and deliberately used language to guide him, Zhuang Rui didn't want to hide from Peng Fei to take out the things inside, so he had to have a suitable reason.
