Chapter 700: Buddha beads are still Buddha beads
PS: It's Monday again, ask for recommendation votes. In the last three days, ask for a monthly pass, please support more.
Wang Guan wanted to go back, but unfortunately, even if the clear mark ended, the afterglow of the public market did not disappear. Because in the next few days, the winning bids of the hidden bids will be announced one by one. He also bid, so naturally it is impossible to leave now.
So with a sigh in his heart, Boss Yang and others who followed Wang Guan went over to congratulate An Shengxian and won the reputation of the king of the standard, which was more or less a happy event, at least it was an advertisement for An's jewelry industry.
For everyone's congratulations, Ahn Shengxian was very modest, and of course his face was full of smiles. After going through the procedures for winning the bid, we invited everyone to the hotel for a sumptuous meal. And then there's waiting!
On the day after the end of the bidding, the management department of the public market announced the first batch of winning bids. That scene is really a bit like the ancient imperial examination list, some people like it and some people worry about it.
However, after all, only a few people won the bid, and most of them belonged to the worried side.
"How's it going, did you get hit?"
"Don't mention it, it's just tens of thousands, I knew I was ...... at the time"
All of a sudden, all kinds of remorseful conversations appeared in every corner repeatedly. If there is really a regret medicine in the world, then it must be very popular in this place.
"Brother Yang, I remember that you also voted for more than a dozen bids on the first day, how many did you win?"
"I was lucky enough to win two bids!" Boss Yang said, but the expression in his eyebrows was both happy and sad. I am happy that I must have won the bid, but I won two bids in more than a dozen bids, and I really can't be happy in my heart, on the contrary, there is a faint sadness.
"Congratulations!" The others sighed, and with a look of frustration on their faces, they knew that he was completely wiped out.
Boss Yang was also inevitably comforted in turn, and after chatting for a while, he also went through the procedures for winning the bid with the management department's office under the prompt of the broadcast.
That's when it happened. Boss Yang was surprised to find that Wang Guan was actually among them.
You must know that businessmen from all over the world gather in the public market, so the list of winning bids announced is actually the number and the amount of winning bids. Boss Yang naturally didn't know that Wang Guan had also won the bid, and now that he saw him in the office, there was no need to mention the surprise.
Although he knew that he shouldn't ask more, Boss Yang couldn't help it, so he simply walked over and asked quietly: "Brother Wang, you also won the bid?" ”
"Fluke." Wang Guan Zhanyan smiled: "You should also be hit." Congratulations! ”
"Joy and ......joy," Boss Yang responded, but secretly speculated in his heart that Wang Guan must have filled in a big price, so he successfully won the bid. Therefore, winning the bid may not be a happy event, and it may be a big loss.
Of course, even if there is such a thought, Boss Yang will not talk nonsense, so as not to embarrass everyone.
This was not only Boss Yang's idea, but some of his peers also won the bid the next day. I also met Wang Guan in the office, and I had the same thought, and then on the third day......
The paper could not contain the fire, and it was found that Wang Guan ran to the public market management department twice in three days. And every day we are going through the bidding procedures. Boss Yang and others inevitably talked about it, and sighed. I feel that the second generation deserves to be the second generation, usually quiet, but at the critical moment, I am willing to spend money.
Of course. There must have been no less losses. Anyway, no one is optimistic about Wang Guan, and they all feel that he has made a loss.
However, the friendship is still shallow, and it is not good for everyone to talk about this topic in front of Wang Guan. It's just that looking at his gaze is inevitably a little more strange, it is a kind of demeanor like looking at the wronged.
Wang Guan also noticed it, but since no one told him about it in front of him, he was happy to pretend to be confused, and it took two or three days to complete all the formalities, and he could finally set off and return to Beijing. As for the jadeite wool in those labels, there is naturally a special company to help him transport it to the designated place.
Since they came together, they naturally came together. Regardless of whether the trip achieved the expected goal or not, when we went back, everyone's mood was quite the same, and their faces were full of relaxation and happiness.
When the plane arrived at the capital airport, although everyone's mood was a little excited, they could not resist the fatigue brought by the journey, and after saying goodbye to each other, they went home.
As soon as he returned to the mansion gate, Wang Guan didn't have the energy to say anything, so he reluctantly said hello to Qian Lao and the others, and then went back to the room and slept upside down.
The gift to Bayeux is a unique beauty product from Myanmar - fragrant wood powder, which is called Danaka by the Burmese people.
Fragrant wood is a unique tree species in Myanmar, its branches are dried and ground into powder, and then added with water, which can be applied to the face, and is said to have beautifying and treating acne and acne. Women, no matter how beautiful they are, they still need to be maintained. At least fragrant wood is a pure natural plant, not a synthetic chemical, and can be trusted.
In addition, what was given to Qian Lao was Burmese sand paintings and lacquerware.
Lacquerware may be easy to understand, but sand painting is probably not known to many people.
Coloured sand Buddha paintings are a major specialty of Myanmar, using natural sandstone as a pigment to paint. The process of drawing is to first trace the pattern lines on the cloth, then apply glue, sprinkle a layer of fine sand, and after the sand is dry, color directly on the sand.
In this way, a sand painting is considered complete. The content of the painting is mainly the patterns in the ancient Buddhist murals and some folk legends and stories in Myanmar, such as the Buddhist protector god, the story of the Buddha's preaching, the goddess scattering flowers, etc., which is very national characteristics.
The value of sand paintings is not high, because things are not stored for a long time, and they are easy to break if they are hung for a long time. However, Qian Lao was a little appreciative, and directly asked Wang Guan to hang it in the hall as an ornament.
"That's right."
At the same time, Wang Guan took out the eighteen Arhat Buddha beads and said with a smile: "When I was in Myanmar, although I was busy with other things, I still found a good string of Buddha beads. Qian Lao, look at what is going on. ”
"Luohan skewers?" Qian Lao glanced at it and said with some surprise: "Such a big Buddha bead is indeed relatively rare. ”
While speaking, Qian Lao also took the Buddha beads, and when he got started, his expression moved slightly, as if he felt that something was wrong, and then looked at it very carefully. A moment later, he suddenly held the Buddha beads high and observed them in the bright sunlight, and a clear smile suddenly flashed across the corners of his mouth.
"Ginger is still old and spicy."
Seeing this, Wang Guan couldn't help but sigh: "Old Qian, your reaction is too fast." You must know that after I got the Buddha beads, I studied for a long time before I found a clue. ”
"What's the matter, you're testing me again?"
Qian Lao smiled lightly: "This string of Buddhist beads doesn't need to be studied at all, you can know that there is a problem at a glance." ”
"Huh?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and humbly asked for advice: "Old Qian, tell me, what are the questions?" I just don't think the weight of the feel is right, and if I don't study it, I really can't see other problems. ”
"The hole in the middle of the bead is smaller." Qian Lao smiled: "Look for yourself, each Buddha bead is larger than an egg, but the holes and threads that collude with the Buddha beads are too small and thin, and they look very incongruous." ”
"Generally speaking, similar to such a large Buddha bead, it should be a hole the size of the tail finger to be considered a fit, but these Buddha beads are actually toothpick-like holes, which inevitably makes people suspicious."
If someone else said this, there must be a suspicion of hindsight. But Qian Lao felt that something was wrong when he looked at the Buddha beads, obviously he found the problem first, and then peeled off the cocoon to unlock the secret of the Buddha beads, this is the gap.
"That's why you say you're so good." Wang Guan admired.
Think about it, it should have been some years since the Buddha beads fell into Wu Gang's hands, but he regarded them as ordinary handicrafts of some years, hanging them on the shelves at will, and he didn't pay attention to observe them at all, so it's no wonder that he couldn't find the abnormality of the Buddha beads.
"Less sycophants."
Qian Lao rubbed a Buddha bead casually, and asked with a smile: "Since you have found the clue, why don't you open it and take a look." ”
"Being in a foreign country, it's not good to act recklessly." Wang Guan said with a smile: "If there are any rare treasures hidden in it, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the security check." ”
"You're quite thoughtful."
Qian Lao smiled and said: "But after revealing the mystery, don't be disappointed." Like you said, the beads are a little light, so you shouldn't be able to hide any valuables, maybe some letters or something. ”
"No, when I weighed it alone, I found that things were also a little porcelain."
"Maybe it's stuffed with something else."
While speaking, Qian Lao signaled: "Don't guess, it's clear when you open it." ”
"Okay."
The king nodded, took the beads, and held them high to meet the light. Under the bright sunlight, if you look closely, you will find that among the eighteen huge Buddha beads, nine of them are abnormal.
Although the surface of the eighteen beads is painted with red lacquer, a closer look reveals that under the red lacquer of the nine beads, the gaps in the splicing are obvious.
In other words, nine of these beads are hollow, and the other nine are solid beads. One empty and one solid are separated from each other, which just forms a balance, and there may be something hidden in the hollow Buddha beads, so it is easy to ignore the difference in the weight of the Buddha beads.
At this time, Wang Guan took a small knife and gently scraped the red paint on the surface of the hollow Buddha beads. The red paint itself is somewhat weathered and cracked, and the pieces of the knife fall off when it is scraped, and then the stitches that have been glued together are exposed.
At this time, Wang Guan did not plan to use brute force to break the Buddha beads, but continued to scrape the other eight Buddha beads with red paint, and then put the string of Buddha beads in a basin, and then rinsed them with boiling water.
After soaking in high-temperature boiling water for more than ten minutes, Wang Guan picked up the Buddha beads, only to see that the gaps in the hollow Buddha beads had been glued, and the glue that was obviously glued was also somewhat melted.
Seeing this situation, Wang Guan no longer hesitated, picked up a Buddha bead with two fingers, and then pinched it a little harder. A hollow Buddha bead suddenly cracked, only to see that it was a thumb-sized bead with a dull surface and a very simple and unpretentious bead.
"Huh?"
The king glanced at it and couldn't help muttering: "How can it still be a Buddha bead among the Buddha beads." (To be continued.) )
