Chapter 432 [Strange Buddha Statue]

Auctions are all the same, even if they are charity auctions or follow the normal auction process. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor Yang Yong, a regular visitor to the auction, there is nothing worth introducing in particular, and when you encounter something you are interested in, you can compete with your own number plate. If you don't come across something you're interested in, just chat with a few new friends on the side, and everyone feels very happy, which is better than being bored at home.

In addition, the auction organized by the Manning family is a charity auction, and all proceeds will be donated to the American Leukemia Children's Treatment Foundation. Everyone is here to show love, there is no need to fight to the death, so the auction went very smoothly, and Yang Yong belonged to the highest value of the top rich man in this auction. In addition, he wanted to give the Manning family some face, so Yang Yong soon made a move and spent $460,000 to auction two dragon and phoenix jade pendants carved from Hetian jade.

These two dragon and phoenix jade pendants are a pair of children who are not bad, but they were made by a master carver during the Republic of China. The age is a little closer, and there is not much collection value, and the auction price of this pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants is 460,000 US dollars, which is already a premium of more than 500%. Although it is a bit uneconomical, in order to do more things for the children, Yang Yong is still as enthusiastic as ever.

The auction process went very smoothly, with an average of one item being auctioned every five minutes. Most of them are premiums of more than 200%, and everyone is still flocking to them, this is a rare opportunity to show their faces, and no one will miss it. More than half an hour passed in a hurry, and Yang Yong just came out of the toilet and unexpectedly came across an item that he was very interested in.

At this time, I saw a beautiful auctioneer taking a wooden statue from the staff. Then the projection equipment in the hall played the actual picture of this statue, if it was to make these foreigners look like this statue is a bit like an oriental Buddha statue, mysterious and majestic. This is also very understandable, after all, Westerners have limited understanding of Buddhism in the East, and in Western Christianity or Catholicism, Buddhism is regarded as an idolatry.

Whether it is from the perspective of faith or the prospect of collecting, there is little interest in Buddha statues. Therefore, the appearance of the square-faced Buddha statue in the eyes of Westerners does not feel that there is anything wrong. But it was a little strange for Yang Yong, a serious Chinese of 800 descent to see this Buddha statue.

Why, because the face of this Buddha statue is actually square, which is very strange. Because no matter which country in the East people believe in Buddhism, they will cast Buddha statues with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and there is no Buddha statue with a square face at all. Of course, those hateful Vajra have all kinds of shapes, but the Buddha statues have absolutely no square faces.

And this Buddha statue is carved from wood, according to the above introduction Yang Yong knows, it turns out that this Buddha statue is actually carved from precious agarwood. The Buddha statue is more than 30 centimeters tall, not counting the carving or age of the Buddha statue, even if the agarwood volume of the Buddha statue is worth more than 100,000 US dollars. Yang Yong became interested in Buddhism in two aspects, one is that the shape of the Buddha statue is a square face, and the various details on the Buddha statue, such as the clothes and the posture of the Dharma weapon in the hand, are very different from the oriental clothing.

At first glance, it looks like a wooden Buddha statue with a very oriental color, but people who have studied oriental civilization, or real orientals, this Buddha statue is definitely not from the hand of an oriental carving master. Because the various details do not conform to the aesthetic views of the Orientals at all, the second point of interest is the texture of the Buddha statue, because it is carved from agarwood, and the volume of agarwood itself is a guarantee of price. And with the popularity of collecting agarwood carvings in recent years, it is also a very good investment direction, and Yang Yongcai became interested in this very strangely shaped Buddha statue.

What did Yang Yong start with? Auction waste merchants started by searching for treasures in the garbage. And Yang Yong also has a special ability, that is, the left eye has a perspective function, and Yang Yong feels very depressed when he doesn't use it for a long time. When I saw this strange-shaped Buddha statue, I unconsciously used my perspective eye function to check if there was anything special about the internal space of this Buddha statue?

Unexpectedly, the clairlight eye had just scanned it, and Yang Yong felt extremely excited, the inside of this Buddha statue was actually empty. There is a dense fog-like scroll-shaped thing inside, and you can judge by looking at the dense fog-like density of the scrolls, these scrolls are definitely not paper items, but a kind of animal leather with a very high density. And the hiding place is very secretive, and a fist-sized gap was found in the belly of the Buddha statue.

The scroll was then hidden inside, and the same piece of agarwood carved wooden stopper was used to plug the gap. Then use melted agarwood to coat the perimeter of the stopper, so that the wood and the overall Buddha statue are integrated, and it looks black without a trace of the stopper. Yang Yong became interested in the Buddha statue, and began to listen carefully to the auctioneer's explanation of the past and present life of the wooden Buddha statue.

"This Buddha statue is very old, according to the relevant experts, this agarwood Buddha statue should be carved around 1750. The wood material used is agarwood imported from Southeast Asia, and the quality of agarwood is very good, it has a history of more than 300 years, but the fragrance is still there. It is a very good ornament, and this Buddha statue has a good shape and large volume, so the starting price is set at $200,000, please bid. ”

To be honest, looking at the hall, there is only Yang Yong who is an Oriental, and he is also a Chinese American. When it comes to the degree of interest in Buddha statues, no one can surpass Yang Yong. And all of you here are the families of top wealthy families, or the heirs of the lineage, no one is an idiot and a fool, seeing Yang Yong being the first to hold up his number plate, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. No one will compete with Yang Yong with this Buddha statue, because this Buddha statue is so close to Yang Yong, and they are both from that mysterious place in the East. Coupled with Yang Yong's net worth, who would dare to compete with Yang Yong! Isn't that looking for death? So everyone smiled and watched Yang Yong sing a one-man show in the hall.

This made Yang Yong embarrassed, as if he was a heinous villain. Unreasonable and very domineering, not letting others compete for their favorite items and bully others, so Yang Yong felt very embarrassed, and said with a wry smile to his friend Cook Manning.

"Cook, am I a heinous bastard in the eyes of you Georgia's top tycoons? and I'm so notorious that no one wants to compete with me. How can we raise prices without competition? How can we do more for our children! I didn't expect that my appearance would make everyone so restrained, and it would not cause you a lot of trouble to sell people. ”

Cook doesn't look at his age, he is very bold to be able to make friends with Yang Yong. He also understands what kind of psychology these top rich people in Georgia are, and he loves and fears Yang Yong, the top wealthy family in the United States, and he doesn't dare to be rude to Yang Yong, and it is not a joke to incur Yang Yong's revenge.
