Chapter 635: It's Fighting Again
PS: The second update, no one voted for the monthly ticket, ask for support.
"It's a good thing, and it's indeed the American Templar Masonic Sabre. This sword is quite popular in the collecting world, but few people know its origin. At this time, Wang Guan shook his head lightly and said: "In the United States, there are quite a few people who have this sword, some of them are bought, and some of them are handed down from their ancestors. ”
"People who bought it liked its elegant and unique shape, and secondly, they were attracted by its name, because its name is very reminiscent of the Knights Templar during the Crusades in Europe around the 10th century, and many people think of it as a knight's sword during the Crusades like you."
Wang Guan sighed again, "If this sword is really the Templar saber of that time, its value is even more extraordinary. Unfortunately, this sword has nothing to do with the Crusaders. ”
"Why?"
Cai Peng was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly argued: "Look at these beautiful patterns, and the cross ...... on the handle."
"It is precisely this beautiful ornament that makes it easy to judge that this is not a Crusader knight's sword. Because at the time of the Crusades, Europe was deeply influenced by Christianity, which can be said to penetrate into every subtlety of people's lives, and Christianity at that time strictly forbade any decoration on weapons. ”
Wang Guan explained: "So this richly decorated Templar sword could never be an item from that period. ”
"Brother Wang is right."
At the same time, someone next to him testified: "I have seen the sword of the crusaders, and to tell the truth, it really doesn't look very good." After all, the smelting technology in Europe was not very good back then, so those swords were not so much swords as pieces of iron, and after thousands of years of wind and rain, they had long been rusted, and it was impossible to be so bright and gorgeous. ”
The others nodded. There are even people who explicitly specify which antique shop or cold weapon collection in Hong Kong has a crusader sword, and this sword can be compared to it.
"What, the thing is fake, this Wang Bazi, even I dare to pit." Although Cai Peng was a little dumbfounded, he was not very stupid, so he naturally understood that he had been deceived, and immediately said angrily: "I'll find someone to smash his shop when I go back." ”
Hearing this, Sha Qingfeng and the others immediately stopped talking, and secretly mourned for that peer in their hearts. Who is not good at pitting such evil, don't you know that they don't pay attention to the rules of the line?
In fact, for this kind of son-in-law, Sha Qingfeng and others have long understood their psychology, and they can only coax but not deceive. It doesn't matter if the price of the thing is more expensive, as long as the thing is genuine, these second-generation children don't care about the money at all. However, if you find that you have been trapped, the consequences will be very serious.
Of course, it's none of their business, and Sha Qingfeng and the others don't plan to stop anything. After all, when that person was lustful for profit and planned to deceive Cai Peng. You should also understand the truth that you will have to pay it back sooner or later. Besides, Cai Peng is really going crazy, what qualifications do they have to dissuade him? Even if he is persuaded, will Cai Peng listen?
Everyone is sure. Cai Peng, who was annoyed and angry, would definitely not listen to persuasion, so why bother to be bored.
"Don't be too annoyed." At this moment, Wang Guan said casually: "The thing is definitely not the knight's sword of the Crusaders, but it can't be said to be fake." I can only say that I can't say that era. ”
"Actually, as I said at the beginning, this is the ceremonial saber of the Templar Freemasons in the United States. The Freemasonry Society was a charitable organization in the United States, though it used the name of the European Templars in the Middle Ages. Other than that. The group had its own set of uniformly styled dresses, and the saber was part of the dress accessories. ”
Wang Guan talked eloquently: "This kind of ceremonial sword is also divided into two kinds, one is nickel-plated and the other is gold-plated. The nickel-plated ones are held by ordinary members, and the gold-plated ones are used by leading figures. ”
"Of course, there are quite a lot of such swords, which are common in the world of sword collecting, and the price is not high, but the price of ivory handles and gilded scabbards is a little higher." Wang Guan said with a smile: "So things also have a certain collection value, and they can't be said to be fake and shoddy fakes." ”
Speaking of which, Wang Guan also has to thank Mr. Anderson, because his understanding of this saber comes from Mr. Anderson's enthusiastic guidance. When Mr. Anderson visited his collection on his ship, there happened to be these styles of swords, so Wang Guan asked casually, and Mr. Anderson introduced them endlessly.
At that time, Wang Guan also felt a little impatient, and he didn't expect it to come in handy today. So it always doesn't hurt to learn more, and you may be able to use it when you can use it.
While speaking, Wang Guan asked curiously: "How much did you spend on things?" ”
"A million ......" Cai Peng stretched out a finger.
"Well, that's not outrageous." Wang Guan nodded and said, "At most, it's just a little inflated." ”
"It's not Hong Kong dollars, it's not Taiwan dollars, it's dollars." Cai Peng shouted, his tone full of frustration and regret, as well as bursts of anger.
"A million dollars?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, and suddenly found that the money of the rich second generation seemed to be too easy to make, and he had to pay more attention to the connections in this area in the future.
"It actually hit my head." Cai Peng was furious and said: "If you don't smash his shop, I don't have the surname Cai ......"
In this regard, Wang Guan had nothing to say, and he didn't have any position to persuade him, so he just yelled at Cai Peng himself. Anyway, if you really smash someone's store, what legal responsibility you need to bear is also Cai Peng's own choice. Besides, Cai Peng is not bad for money, after smashing the store to export the evil spirit, it's just a big deal to compensate, it's cost-effective!
At the same time, plates of delicacies were served, and a bottle of red wine was opened according to Cai Peng's own requirements.
"Everyone, please slow down." After pouring a glass of red wine for each person, the waiter retreated with interest. However, at this time, no one moved the chopsticks, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
However, Cai Peng did not lose his mind due to anger, and after slowly calming down, he reluctantly picked up the glass and signaled to everyone: "You're welcome, everyone, come and have a drink......
"Ding!"
Between the staggering, everyone was very reserved and took a sip of red wine, only Cai Peng ignored the etiquette of the table, and directly swallowed half a glass of red wine into his stomach in one go.
Seeing this, Wang Guan was a little puzzled: "It's just buying the wrong thing at a high price, you can recover the loss with your means, why be so angry." ”
"You don't understand." Cai Peng shook his head, gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is not so simple, I suspect that the guy surnamed Hu deliberately designed to ...... me."
"The guy surnamed Hu?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the Hu Shao who gambled with Cai Peng when he was in Macau.
At that time, the two seemed to be jealous for a beautiful woman, and then they bet against each other. At the beginning, Cai Peng lost so badly that he had to borrow money from Wang Guan. However, after the gambling continued, neither of them could win, but instead cheapened others and became big losers. It stands to reason that they are both fallen people at the end of the world, and the two should cherish each other and turn enemies into friends, but it seems that the situation is getting bigger and bigger.
However, Wang Guan was also a little skeptical: "How do you know that he is yin against you?" ”
"It's a clear thing." Cai Peng exhaled angrily: "Do you know why I came to Hong Kong?" ”
"Why?" Wang Guan said curiously.
"Since the incident in Macau, none of us have been convinced, and we have agreed to compete another day." Cai Peng said with a gloomy expression: "It's not limited to gambling, we have tried racing cars, horse races, cockfights and dogfights, but there are wins and losses, regardless of victory or defeat." This time, he got a Japanese katana out of nowhere, and asked me over to see whose weapon was better. ”
"Of course, I couldn't show weakness, so I agreed. However, in a hurry, I was also a little worried, and I didn't know where to buy weapons. Just then, a man claiming to be the owner of an armory shop came to me and sold me this knight's sword......"
Cai Peng said with annoyance: "I didn't think much about it at the time, I just thought that he heard about it, so he wanted to take the opportunity to make money on me." As long as the stuff is really good, I don't mind earning it for him. ”
Hearing this, Wang Guan nodded lightly, thought about it carefully, and if it was his words, it was estimated that it would be the same idea, and it would not be associated with any conspiracy. Of course, if it was really him, he could distinguish the quality of the knight's sword, so he naturally wouldn't be fooled by this.
"Now I think that I made a bet with the front foot surnamed Hu, and this person came to the door on the back foot, which is too suspicious." Cai Peng said hatefully: "The guy surnamed Hu actually played such a small trick, it's really despicable and shameless!! ”
Listening to Cai Peng's reasoning, Wang Guan also felt that Hu Shao was very suspicious.
"I'm sure he did it." Cai Peng gritted his teeth and said, "It's shameless." ”
"Oh." Wang Guan shrugged his shoulders and said nothing, continuing to taste the food on the table. To put it bluntly, this matter is nothing more than two rich children who are bored and fighting, and there is no need to participate.
However, Wang Guan didn't want to participate, but Cai Peng found him.
At this time, Cai Peng smiled shyly: "Big brother, you seem to be very good at cold weapons......
"There's no research, it's just that I've heard people say that it's now that it's learned and it's sold." Wang Guan was a little vigilant, shook his head lightly and said, "I don't specialize in playing this, I don't know much." So you want me to help you choose your weapon, you're looking for the wrong person. ”
"Big brother is really smart, I know what I want to say before I open my mouth." Cai Peng smiled awkwardly: "But you don't have to refuse so quickly, you can be regarded as an acquaintance ......."
"Acquaintance?" Wang Guan smiled and said, "Do you know my name?" ”
"Ugh!" Cai Peng was completely stunned, racking his brains to think about it, but in the end he suddenly found that he really didn't know what Wang Guan's name was, otherwise he wouldn't be the big brother's blind call.
"I can't tell." Wang Guan smiled lightly: "Besides, I seem to have given you your contact information at that time, but you don't seem to have contacted me until today when I borrowed money from Macau." ”
"Uh......"
At this moment, Cai Peng was not only embarrassed, but looked ashamed...... (To be continued.) )
