Li Yi took the newspaper, read it roughly, turned his head to Gu Feng and said, "If you haven't found out who that Zheng Shihang is today, you can arrange for someone to call and take the initiative to ask the other party to meet, I want to see who he is." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When bidding, because the time was too tight, although he saw Zheng Shihang's phone, he didn't call. And it was not a good time to dial at that time, even if it was a fake number, you don't dare to take it lightly because of a few calls, maybe people wrote it wrong, and people will take the initiative to contact the auction house after the auction?

If someone picks it up, it's even more embarrassing, can you just ask him if he wants to make trouble?

But now it's no problem, now that the initiative is in their hands, they can try to contact it. Because if the phone can't be called, then even if they abandon the bid, the exhibition should not be able to contact this person, then the last chicken bowl cup must still be in the hands of his original owner.

If the phone can get through, you can really try to talk openly and honestly. If it is confirmed that the guy really wants to spend 4 billion to buy that chicken bowl cup, then it doesn't matter if Li Yi spends another 4 billion, the most important thing is to confirm that he can't be fooled!

"Okay, Brother Yi."

"By the way, if the exhibition contacts you, you promise to pay first, but it will take time, so delay the time until the afternoon of the last day."

The title of the report just now is a bit grandstanding, and it is a fact that no one paid for the chicken bowl cup in the first place, but it is too early to conclude that it is unclaimed.

Although Gu Feng used a fake name, the phone number he left was a real number, because Li Yi might need to contact the seller through the exhibition in the later stage, and it would take time to investigate that Zheng Shihang, so he couldn't let the exhibition not be contacted.

Otherwise, if the exhibition uses the excuse of not being able to contact him, he sells the chicken bowl cup to that Zheng Shihang, wouldn't this matter be wronged? You must know that the difference between the two quotations is only one yen, and it doesn't matter who the owner and the exhibition sell to.

After arranging things here, I just arrived at the first store I was going to today.

Coincidentally, as soon as he walked into the store, Li Yi noticed that the shopkeeper was holding a newspaper he had read in the car just now, and there was a photo of him on it.

Before he came, he agreed with Aida Misa that today's introduction will be replaced by Mr. Li, just for fear that he will be recognized and cut off when he misses, and now it seems that this decision is quite wise!

Because the shopkeeper was staring at the photograph and studying it, as if he could see some secret through it.

"Aitian, are you here? This is the friend you told me earlier? Hello, knowing you're coming, I got a few good things ready yesterday. ”

Li Yi nodded at him politely, since you are ready, let's take a look, maybe there are some strange things to see.

"Hey, please wait."

There was a resident at the back of the shop, which was the shopkeeper's home, so after seeing Li Yi's consent, the shopkeeper ran back to the house as soon as he slipped away.

Within two minutes, the shopkeeper cautiously walked out holding a wooden box.

Li Yi stretched out his head and couldn't help but stare at it, there were actually three ancient Buddha statues in this wooden box, and they were all the kind of stone carvings that were super ancient at first glance!

Regarding the collection of Buddha statues, Li Yi feels that it can be treated as an independent gate, because there are too many and too complicated. Not only can be made of a large number of ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, non-deep researchers are likely to not recognize, the materials are also varied, copper, porcelain, stone, wood these are still common, and other kinds of gold, silver and gemstone carved Buddha statues are also common.

But when it comes to collection value, there are two types of Buddha statues, which should attract special attention, one is the bronze Buddha statue, and the other is the stone Buddha statue.

Bronze Buddha is because of the huge quantity, but the quality varies, and there are especially many fakes. The stone Buddha statue is because of the antiquity, especially this small one, which looks a little broken, and it is a treasure thousands of years ago.

Generally speaking, the price of the ancient stone Buddha statues is far inferior to that of some gilded bronze Buddhas or Buddha statues carved from some precious materials, but in terms of collection value, it may not be below them.

In particular, some of the preserved stone Buddha statues from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and even the Sui and Tang dynasties, are almost all national treasures. If you're lucky enough to be able to collect a Buddha statue from the Han Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, then congratulations, with this one thing, you can already pretend to die in your circle of Tibetan friends.

Li Yi cautiously invited a Buddha statue out, saying that this is a Buddha statue is a bit inaccurate. To be precise, this style should be called the Buddha statue stele, and specifically this one, it should be called the stone carving of a Buddha and two Bodhisattva statue steles.

The so-called statue tablet is to carve the Buddha statue on the stone tablet, once this statue is true, it is very precious, because the statue tablet of the Buddha is the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty during this period, the unique religious Buddhist culture and art variety, after the Tang Dynasty is absolutely none!

Moreover, judging from the existing physical objects, the earliest in the Northern Wei period, and the largest number in the Eastern Wei-Northern Qi and Western Wei-Northern Zhou periods, until the Sui Dynasty gradually declined, and the Tang Dynasty only occasionally found them.

This statue stele, carved a total of one large, two small three Buddha statues, the overall characteristics are very unified, that is, the face of the statue is not round, the forehead is plump, the body is stocky, the neck is slender, the proportion of the whole body is inaccurate, this kind of research on the Buddha statue tablet is generally called "transitional characteristics".

In other words, this Buddha statue tablet is a work in the period of dynastic change, and according to the facial features and clothing of the Buddha statue, Li Yi judged that it should be a Buddha statue of the Sui Dynasty.

The spirit card passed lightly, and the thick, extremely cold air told Li Yi that his judgment was not wrong. This piece is indeed a Buddha statue tablet in the early days of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, in the second year of the emperor's reign, more than 1400 years ago!

Gently invited the statue to the side, and Li Yi invited another Buddha statue from the wooden box.

This stone Buddha statue is also a Buddha statue tablet, but this one is only carved on the left and one right two Buddha statues, and the biggest difference with the Buddha statue tablet just now is that it can be seen at a glance that the Buddha statue carved on this piece is coordinated.

The Buddha statue carved by this Buddha statue tablet not only has a coordinated body proportion, but also a more shallow and sparse clothing style, which is the so-called "praise clothes out of the water" style in the standard Northern Qi Dynasty. Moreover, this Buddha statue tablet uses marble as the statue material, the texture is delicate, smooth and lubricated, which is also in line with the characteristics of the Buddha statue of the Northern Qi Dynasty, because marble was a special product in the area controlled by the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time.

After carefully observing the characteristics of this statue, Li Yi opened the spirit card,

"Five years of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty,?? Two statues of Bodhisattvas carved in stone, genuine. ”

The age of this Buddha statue is 8 years earlier than the one that was opened to the emperor in the second year just now!

The last remaining Buddha statue in the wooden box is a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Nirvana.

The carving method of this Buddha statue is much more complex than the previous two, and the lines and lines are clearer, reflecting the characteristics of a completely different era.

In this carving, Shakyamuni is lying on his side on a stone bed, with snail hair on his headdress and a slightly bulging bun on the top of his head; The face is vivid and the demeanor is serene; Dressed in a robe with a right shoulder and a bow on his chest, his clothes are realistic and natural, and his style is rough, vividly showing the scene of Shakyamuni Buddha's Nirvana.

"This ......" Li Yi studies antiques, and has always been that the older the better, and the more valuable he is, the more willing he is to study, so he recognized the origin of the first two Buddha statues at a glance just now, and even judged the approximate age.

But this one made him a little embarrassed.

Judging from the carving technique of this reclining Buddha, it is likely to be a Buddha statue from the Song Dynasty, but it may also be from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Moreover, from the perspective of carving style, Li Yi is more inclined to this is a work of ethnic minorities, so it is more likely that it was made during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

"Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, that's a bit difficult to judge......"

There are not only 15 countries in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and if you count those short-lived regimes, the number is even far more than 20, so it is difficult to judge.

However, it is difficult to judge does not mean that it cannot be judged, first of all, it can be seen from the carving technique that the style of this Buddha statue is obviously the style of northern craftsmen, so the scope has been narrowed down a lot.

After looking at it for a while, Li Yi couldn't judge it, so he directly opened the spirit identification card.

"Liao Tianxian three years, stone carving Buddha Nirvana."

Liaoguo? I actually forgot about this great enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty just now!

Li Yi smiled bitterly, took out his mobile phone and searched on the Internet, Tianxian is a year name used by Yelu Deguang, the heir of Liao Taizong, the third year of Tianxian should be 930 AD, and the age of this Buddha statue is more than 1000 years old!

Taking a deep breath, Li Yi asked, "Mr. Fujita, how do you sell these Buddha statues?" ”

"Well, these three, 28 million each!"

28 million per piece? Less than 1.8 million soft girl coins? Although it seems a little unreasonable to set a unified price for three Buddha statues with different shapes, different ages, and different degrees of integrity, if you consider it as a whole, the three pieces are only 84 million yen, which is really not very expensive.

"No problem, that's the price!" Li Yi motioned to Gu Feng to swipe the card to pay the bill, and then after everything was done, he asked with a smile:

"Mr. Fujita, do you still have a Buddha statue like this?"

Fujita hesitated for a moment and said, "There are no more stone statues, but there are still Buddha statues, but they are copper." ”

"Oh? The Bronze Buddha is okay, please take it out and I'll take a look, okay? ”
