The two sides signed an agreement, took photos, passed them to relatives for witnessing, and then handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. Huang Wenbin got the statue of Guanyin and couldn't help but say, "Then this is mine now?" If I sell it for a high price in the future......"

Liu Junha smiled: "Nephew, it's not me saying you, be a man, you must be down-to-earth, you buy this thing for 25,000, it's not bad if you don't lose money, and the price is high." I promise you here, not to mention selling at a high price, even if it is sold at a sky-high price, I will never ask you for a penny. ”

Liu De also said: "Cousin, don't daydream, how can there be such a good thing as pie in the sky." Dad hurriedly gave me 25,000, and I went to open the store. ”

"I'll help you put it first, and I'll give it to you when you want to use it, so that you don't spend money indiscriminately." Liu Jun said.

Liu De immediately looked anxious: "No, this money has to belong to me." In the past, I lied to me that I would save all the red envelopes for the New Year, and when I was older, I would start a business. It turned out to be all a lie to me, and you spent it yourself. ”

"That's not much." Liu Jun said, "The red envelope was originally given by me, and people gave it back." ”

"Nothing!" Liu De ignored the latter problem and seized the previous loophole to attack desperately, "It has been more than 30 years since I was born, at least a few thousand yuan a year, that is, hundreds of thousands!" If you hadn't run out, I'd have made a fortune by now. ”

"Who will give you a red envelope for more than 30 years!" Liu Jun said angrily, "It's good to give it to 18 years old." ”

"Why does my cousin still have a red envelope in his twenties? When I saw it during the Chinese New Year the year before last, my aunt gave him a red envelope of 800 yuan. Liu De said.

"People are admitted to university, and this is a bursary. Did you get into college? Liu Jun said, "Don't talk about college, you didn't even get into high school." Asked you to go to a technical school, and you didn't go. ”

"What is there to do in a technical school, and what is the hard work and no money." Liu De said.

"It's better than you're now!" Liu Jun couldn't help but scold, "Wandering around all day long, either fighting or petty theft, I see that if you continue to mess around like this, you will be hacked to death sooner or later." ”

"If I am hacked to death, won't you cut off your children and grandchildren?" Liu De said with a hippie smile.

"Okay, okay, you guys go home and quarrel by yourself, I have a headache here." Huang Wenbin's mother drove the father and son out of the house, "It's really unfortunate for the family, I have to go and rest for a while." Keep this Guanyin statue as yourself, but don't break it. If they make money in the future, they may be able to redeem it. ”

Huang Wenbin smiled and didn't speak, they didn't have a chance to redeem the Guanyin statue.

The next day, Huang Wenbin came to Antique Street with the statue of Guanyin. He vaguely remembered that Liu De sold Guanyin to a shop called Antique Zhai. Although the name sounds unreliable, but people spent 70,000 yuan in real money, and Huang Wenbin didn't care about him.

He was greeted by a fat man who was deeply mired in the mystery of making money and making money, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, "Hello, what antiques do you want to buy?" ”

"I'm not here to buy, I'm here to sell." Huang Wenbin took out the statue of Guanyin, "This is...... The statue of Guanyin in the Ming Dynasty is the ancestral heirloom of our family. ”

"Oh, it's an ancestral heirloom." The fat man nodded, picked up the Guanyin statue and looked at it carefully, and raised his head after a while, "Look at this line is from the Ming Dynasty, but the pulp is very unnatural, I can't see what material it is, the line is very unclear, I'm really sorry, I can't understand it." ”

Huang Wenbin knew that the so-called incomprehension was not wanting to buy. What's going on? A few years later, they obviously spent 70,000 yuan to buy this Guanyin statue. Could it be that the shopkeeper has changed? Huang Wenbin remained silent and took the Guanyin statue back, "Then I'll find someone else to take a look." ”

"I'm so sorry," the fat man apologized again.

Huang Wenbin took Guanyin like a dozen stores, and the answer was the same, no one could understand it, and no one was willing to bid except for one. The bidder only gave 500 yuan, and said that it was for the sake of the ancestor's face, but of course Huang Wenbin refused, so he had to go home with the statue of Guanyin.

What went wrong? Huang Wenbin pondered, could he have remembered wrong? This is impossible, Liu De's family is poor and white, he doesn't work or do business, he has no courage to rob, he has no skills to steal money, if he hadn't sold Guanyin, where would he get the money to spend it?

If you can't understand it now, will you understand it in a few years? Or a few years later, the antique Zhai came to the master, and then he recognized the true body of the Guanyin statue? This can't be said, Huang Wenbin went to more than a dozen antiques in a row, it is impossible that there is no master, right?

Suddenly, Huang Wenbin remembered a detail, Liu De boasted to him, in 2008, he accidentally dropped the Guanyin statue and jumped a very small corner. If it's not broken, it's not 70,000, at least 100,000. Is it worth more money to fall once? Could it be ...... Huang Wenbin's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility.

Turned out the tool box and took out a piece of sandpaper, and Huang Wenbin carefully polished it. After only two wipes, the black part faded, revealing the beautiful golden yellow inside. If you look closely, black is actually just a layer of skin, and if you are careful, you can even tear it off.

In the past, Huang Wenbin didn't know much about antiques, not even fur, but he also knew that antiques were of course as old as possible, and they couldn't be cleaned casually. However, the situation of this Guanyin statue is different, it has been burned by fire, and no one can tell what it is, and it can't be sold for a price, so it's better to wash it all.

It took a full hour, and Huang Wenbin finally cleaned the black shell outside. Guanyin seems to have changed greatly, the original black piece, you can't recognize this as Guanyin if you don't look carefully. Now the whole body is golden, faintly exuding light, and the fine carving is also revealed, which is very valuable at a glance.

This time, Huang Wenbin kept an eye on it, avoided the shops he had already visited, looked for two circles, and picked an inconspicuous small shop and walked in. There is also a fat man inside, but he looks completely different from the fat man in the antique shop, his face is very solemn, watching Huang Wenbin walking around the store, he didn't come up to say hello.

"Hello." Huang Wenbin had no choice but to take the initiative to step forward.

"Hello, have you seen something?" He asked, "We have everything here, it's all genuine, don't be too expensive, it's genuine." ”

Huang Wenbin glared at him, saying this as if he couldn't afford to buy antiques after seeing Huang Wenbin die. In fact...... Huang Wenbin really can't afford it. He secretly swore in his heart that when he developed in the future, he would definitely buy a room of antiques, and buy them around the left and right of this dead fat man, but if he didn't buy them, he would starve him to death.

"I've got something I'd like you to see." Huang Wenbin took out the wooden box containing the statue of Guanyin. As soon as the box was opened, Huang Wenbin heard the dead fat man take a breath, it seemed that there was a play, "This is my family's ancestral golden silk nan gloomy wood Guanyin statue, I want to see how much it is worth." ”

"You're not a gloomy wood, you can only be considered petrified wood, it's hard to say how much it's worth." The dead fat man first looked for a long time with a flashlight, and then looked at the guy with a magnifying glass for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more enthusiastic his face became, "Antique, if you meet something you like, it's not surprising that it's 1.8 million." If you don't like it, you can only follow the market price. Surname Chen, Erdong Chen, everyone calls me Chen Fatzi, your surname? ”

"Don't give your surname Huang." Huang Wenbin said, "This is my ancestral thing, and if the price is not good, I will not sell it if I say anything." ”

"The price is negotiable, let's take a look at what this is." Chen Fatzi said, "Do you know the origin of this Guanyin? ”

"Passed down from our ancestors!" Huang Wenbin said as a matter of course.

"How did your ancestors get it?" Chen Fatzi broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"How do I know this?" Huang Wenbin said.

"That is, there is no inheritance, and this thing without inheritance will inevitably be discounted in value." Chen Fatzi said.

"I'm a thing from the Ming Dynasty, so I don't believe that the inheritance of all antiques is clear. You're lying to me, don't you? Huang Wenbin said, "Forget it, I'll go find someone else." ”

"Don't worry, the antiques in this world, of course, there are few inheritances, and there are many inheritances. But I'm not deliberately lowering the price, what is not inherited is indeed not as good as what is inherited, and this is the case everywhere. Chen Fatzi smiled and said, "You said that this is from the Ming Dynasty, but it looks too new." ”

"Our house is well preserved." Huang Wenbin had no choice but to say so.

"Brother Huang, I didn't say it, antiques, no matter how carefully you keep them, it is impossible not to leave any traces of time." Chen Fatzi said, "Especially the Buddha statues, they are all to be worshipped, smoky and burning, how can there be no pulp at all." With all due respect, you send Guanyin, don't explain the dynasty, the Republic of China is not so new, it looks like a new oven. ”

"Then what are you talking about, don't buy it if you can't believe it." Huang Wenbin couldn't refute it, this Guanyin was first burned by fire, and then scraped the burnt shell, and it did look like new, "I'm going to find someone else, I can't be blind to all the antique streets." ”

"Don't worry," Chen Fatzi hurriedly pulled Huang Wenbin to prevent him from leaving, "But looking at the knife technique and materials, it is the right of the Ming Dynasty......" After covering up for a long time, he finally came to a conclusion, "Actually, you are a product from the soil, right?" ”

"Goods in the soil? What kind of goods in the soil? Huang Wenbin didn't understand.

"You're digging something out of the dirt, aren't you?" Chen Fatzi tried to see the dagger, "Grave robbery and grave digging, this is a crime!" ”

"I told you that this is passed down from your ancestors." Huang Wenbin was angry and funny, "What kind of grave robbery and grave digging." He was impatient to say more, and stuffed Guanyin back into the box and prepared to leave. It's not completely unharvest to go to this store, at least I know that this is a send-off Guanyin.

Fat Chen looked at Huang Wenbin's face carefully, and felt that he was really not afraid, so he had to soften his tone, "Okay, I won't ask you how this thing came from, how much do you want to sell it?" ”

"This thing?" Huang Wenbin hesitated, it was originally sold for 70,000, but the one that collapsed, if it was intact, it should be more than 100,000. If you call less, I'm afraid you will suffer, for the sake of insurance, Huang Wenbin simply opened his mouth, "At least one million." ”

"A million? Big brother, you're too unrealistic, aren't you? Chen Fatzi laughed.

Huang Wenbin doesn't care about him, he has died once, and he will not lose a piece of meat if he is laughed at a few times, compared to money, his face is nothing.

Fat Chen laughed for a while, and saw that Huang Wenbin didn't react, so he had to shut up himself, "Look at your Guanyin statue, although it is said that it is in good condition, it is too new." Not a lot of people are willing to take risks. I have a fate with you, Brother Huang, so I am so desperate. If it were someone else, I wouldn't take any chances. Fixed price, 200,000 yuan, if you want to stay, don't forget it. ”

"Two hundred thousand?" Huang Wenbin's heart blossomed, he didn't expect to be able to get this number. On the surface, he remained silent, and frowned, "What can you do with 200,000 yuan, you can't even buy a house." ”

"200,000 can't buy a house? How big do you want to buy? Fat Chen was taken aback.

Huang Wenbin remembered that it was 2006, not 2013, and housing prices were low. In these third-tier small cities, except for a few ultra-high-end communities, the general price is more than 2,000 square meters, and 200,000 yuan can buy more than 90 square meters. If you accept to live a little farther away, one hundred and twenty or thirty square meters is no problem.
