Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Bronze Bottle
After eating, the fat man and Guo Shaohong still had no intention of leaving, one was bound to carry out the flower protection messenger to the end, and the other was bound to carry out the follower to the end.
I couldn't go to the Thousand Buddha Temple in the morning, but now Han Xinming has left, and the Thousand Buddha Temple has also lifted martial law, Yang Rui and the others simply went to the Thousand Buddha Temple again.
The Thousand Buddha Temple covers an extremely wide area, and hundreds of Buddha statues are enshrined in it, so it is named, so it is called the Thousand Buddha Temple.
The main hall in the center of the Thousand Buddha Temple is dedicated to the Buddhist leader Da Ri Rulai, and there are Bodhisattva Venerable, Maitreya Buddha, Jizo King Bodhisattva and so on on the side, and all the Buddhas of Buddhism can basically be seen here.
Except for Yang Rui, who came to the Thousand Buddha Temple for the first time, Qin Xuan, Fat Man and others were not here for the first time, and they were just joining in the fun.
On the side of the Thousand Buddha Temple is the famous antique market in Jiangping City, from the Thousand Buddha Temple, Yang Rui and several people came to the antique market to wander around.
As the so-called gold in troubled times, the collection of prosperous times, now it is the peaceful and prosperous era, the antique fever has already risen, and the tourists who come to the antique market are endless.
The fat man obviously didn't come to this kind of place for the first time, and introduced Yang Rui as he walked: "This antique market has three antique shops that are the most famous, namely Imperial Treasure Zhai, Treasure Pavilion and Cuiyuxuan, Imperial Treasure Zhai and Treasure Pavilion are engaged in all kinds of antiques, mainly based on antique calligraphy and painting bronzes, and Cuiyuxuan is mainly engaged in jade, it is said that someone once bought a thousand years of ancient jade in Cuiyuxuan. ”
The so-called heirloom ancient jade refers to the jade that has been handed down from generation to generation, not unearthed in later generations, the so-called jade can raise people, people can also raise jade, the reason why the ancient jade is precious is because of the warm maintenance from generation to generation makes the surface of the jade form a rare pulp, and the jade unearthed in later generations wants to sell it at a large price, and often it will be faked to make a pulp, and sell it at a high price with the gimmick of the ancient jade.
"In addition to these three famous antique shops, the antique market also has stone shops that gamble on stones, as well as various small vendors, in fact, if you want to treasure in the antique market, these little-known shops and small vendors are the first choice."
The fat man introduced as he walked, and it sounded like an expert.
Yang Rui smiled lightly and asked, "Fatty, you didn't spend less money here, right?" ”
The fat man smiled embarrassedly: "It didn't cost much, it's only a hundred thousand, my old shopkeeper likes antiques, I have been a half-expert since I was a child." ”
"A hundred thousand!" Yang Rui was dumbfounded, the 100,000 yuan in this year is not a small amount, at this time in 02, private cars are not popular, and mobile phones are not affordable for everyone, 100,000, according to the current public income, ordinary people may not be able to earn it in ten years, not to mention that the fat man is just an ordinary high school student, no wonder this guy didn't take the college entrance examination seriously at all.
"Boss, that's the Treasure Pavilion, let's go in and have a look?" A few people turned around, and they came to the door of a well-decorated antique shop, and the fat man stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
Yang Rui came here mainly just to take a stroll, antiques are not something that ordinary people can afford, in the antique market, even if it is a fake, a bad one will cost hundreds of thousands, with Yang Rui's current net worth, he can't stand the toss.
The fat man is going, Yang Rui naturally has no opinion, and a group of people stepped into the store, which really has everything, what jade bronze, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, it is really dazzling.
When Yang Rui and the others entered, a middle-aged man in a suit was holding a bronze statue and arguing with the shopkeeper.
"Boss, I'm a bottle of the Qin Dynasty, you can see clearly, I want to buy it for 20,000 yuan, isn't it a bit of a bully, if I wasn't in a hurry to use the money, it would be impossible to use this thing." The middle-aged man had a red face and a thick neck, and his face was a little resentful.
The boss was an old man in his early sixties, dressed in a teal robe, and looked in good spirits. The middle-aged man talked to himself, but the old man just squinted and said: "Many people take things and say that they are not from the Qin Dynasty or the Shang Dynasty, it is nothing more than a gimmick, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 bottles in my hands, I know the truth at a glance, your thing is at best an imitation of the Republic of China, and there are still defects, 20,000 yuan is already more." ”
"Imitations of the Republic of China?" The middle-aged man sneered and said, "It's embarrassing to open an antique shop, I think it's better to close the store as soon as possible." As he spoke, the middle-aged man snorted coldly and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" The old man said slowly: "You know the truth of the thing, I know, it's just 100,000 yuan, if you want to, you can leave the thing, if you don't want to, then forget it." ”
"One hundred thousand?" The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed: "Didn't you say that this is a fake, and it is only worth 20,000?" ”
"The thing is indeed a fake, but the workmanship is fine, the simulation is very high, and it is also considered to be from the hands of famous artists, and when you meet someone you really like, 100,000 yuan is still worth it, you just say if you want to?" The old man said lightly.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "Add more, I will give you 150,000 yuan, and if you lose, you will lose, I am really waiting for money, and the children in the family are waiting for money to see a doctor." ”
"One hundred thousand, not a penny." The old man didn't seem to be enthusiastic, and said slowly: "If you want to, you can make a deal, if you don't want to, you can leave, I won't stop you, the antique market is not only my antique shop, you go and ask, if others are willing to give you this price." ”
The middle-aged man stood in place, very entangled, and stood for more than a minute, and then said unwillingly: "100,000 is 100,000, take the money." ”
"Xiaofeng, take the money." The old man greeted the guy on the side, and the guy entered the back room and quickly took a bag out, which contained 100,000 cash neatly.
"Count them!" The old man handed the bag over.
The middle-aged man took the bag, roughly counted it, and confirmed the authenticity at the same time, before turning around and leaving.
"Old man, is this a fake?" The fat man stepped forward with a smile, picked up the bronze bottle that the middle-aged man put on the table and said, "If you don't sell it to me for 150,000 yuan, you can make 50,000 yuan from it, this business is not something that can be encountered casually." ”
Looking at the fat man's smug eyes, the old man took the bronze bottle, and said with a smile: "It seems that the little brother knows the goods, this thing is indeed a bronze bottle of the Qin Dynasty, and the workmanship is fine and well-preserved, there are not many bronze bottles of such a style on the market, there are no 500,000, don't think about it." ”
"Half a million?" Yang Rui and Qin Xuan were subconsciously stunned, even the fat man opened his mouth wide, and the fat man had not seen money, but he made 400,000 yuan in a blink of an eye, which is really surprising, they all said that antiques are huge profits, as long as they have good eyesight, it is not a problem to get rich overnight, they have only heard of it before, and today they have seen it thoroughly.
"What are you kidding the old gentleman, this thing is worth half a million?" The fat man pursed his lips in disbelief.
"What? Unbelief? The old man smiled, glanced at the fat man and said, "You don't know how to deal with feelings, you just played with me just now?" ”
The fat man smiled embarrassedly, where could he recognize whether this was a bronze bottle of the Qin Dynasty, he was indeed joking with the old man just now, but he didn't expect the scared old man to reveal the old bottom.
"Children, my store is full of treasures, just pick what you like, this bronze bottle doesn't have 500,000, I really won't sell, if it comes to auction, 800,000 is not impossible."
Maybe he made a big deal and made four or five hundred thousand yuan between changing hands, the old man was a little proud, and he didn't mind showing off in front of Yang Rui and a few others.
When the old man and the fat man were talking, Yang Rui had been watching from the side, and when he saw that the old man didn't seem to be lying, his heart suddenly moved, he condensed his spirit, and silently recited in his heart: "Time goes backwards!" ”
Airplanes! The surrounding air shook, time quickly regressed, Yang Rui kept looking at the regressing scene, and when the picture froze, the scene could be returned to the time when the middle-aged man was ready to trade with the old man.
Yang Rui's time ability, the maximum limit of each time regression is ten minutes, this time he didn't shout stop at all, ten minutes ended, the picture resumed, and it happened that the middle-aged man nodded and agreed to the transaction.
"This gentleman!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to trade, Yang Rui suddenly stepped forward and said, "I wonder if this gentleman can let me take a look at this bronze bottle?" ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Yang Rui in surprise: "Little brother also knows bronze?" ”
"I understand!" Yang Rui smiled slightly.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he handed over the bronze bottle in his hand to Yang Rui, Yang Rui pretended to look at it, and at the same time looked at the old man on the side with the corner of his eye, and the old man who had been calm on the side obviously had a trace of panic and anxiety on his face at this time.
