Chapter 50: The Golden Buddha Statue of the Asura King

Zhou Xuan walked out of the villa with the wooden carved Buddha statue, and the bodyguards at the gate had already been instructed to let him in and out.

Zhou Xuan originally wanted to go to the place where there was no one outside the wall outside and transform the wood-carved Buddha statue with ice gas by the way, but as soon as he got out of the villa gate, he saw David probing his brain outside.

This guy hasn't left yet!

Zhou Xuan didn't care if he understood it or not, and shouted at him: "I'll get in the car!" Holding the wooden carved Buddha statue, he walked towards David's BMW car, opened the door, poked his head in, and blocked his body outside, the ice energy ability had already been transported to change the molecular structure of the wooden carved Buddha statue, and in an instant, the Buddha statue had become a golden color.

However, when Zhou Xuan picked it up again, it took a lot of effort, and the wood carving Buddha statue may weigh two or three catties, which is still because of the weight of agarwood and other woods, if it is ordinary wood, it weighs at most one catty, but if it is replaced with gold, then there is no comparison, this Buddha statue size wood carving is replaced with gold at least a hundred catties!

Zhou Xuan gasped and moved out of the car, David didn't look at him, he kept shrinking his head and staring at the villa in the gate, but he didn't dare to go in.

He never figured out in his heart, why did Lawrence suddenly turn his face, is it because of that middle-aged man? It should be, Lawrence's attitude towards him is not like that of ordinary people, but after sitting in the car with him for a while, he didn't see anything unusual about him.

Suddenly, I saw Zhou Xuan holding a golden Buddha statue and walking in, and he said in his heart, why did he hold this? You didn't seem to be looking at it just now, did you?

Zhou Xuan carried this heavy Buddha statue into the living room drenched in sweat, and several people in the living room were taken aback when they saw that he really came in with a golden Buddha statue.

Zhou Xuan was a little struggling, and when he squatted down and put it on the glass coffee table, he couldn't stand the force, and the golden Buddha statue smashed the coffee table.

Zhou Xuan was still holding the golden Buddha statue, which fell to the ground with the broken glass, and several bodyguards rushed over to help.

Fujimoto just got close to the coffee table, and he approached Zhou Xuan for the first time, and carefully inspected a Buddha statue, and the broken glass scratched some traces at the bottom of the Buddha statue, which was not deep, but it was obvious that he could see it.

Zhou Xuan said to Lawrence with some embarrassment: "Mr. Lawrence, I'm sorry to smash your coffee table!" ”

Lawrence naturally didn't care, this matter was not worth it, but when he saw Zhou Xuan struggling to move this golden Buddha statue in, he immediately became interested.

At the moment, Lawrence, Fujimoto Gang, and Wei Haihong all went to the coffee table.

Lawrence ordered his bodyguards to bring a sturdy mahogany table and place the golden Buddha statue on it.

Judging by the color and shape on the outside, Lawrence and Fujimoto are almost certain that this layer on the surface is 90% real gold, but whether it is also gold on the inside, whether it is pure gold, it is impossible to tell with the naked eye.

If it was just pure gold, the temptation to Lawrence was not too great, and his attention was only on whether this Buddha statue was an antiquity, and it was not long ago, and in this regard, he had several experts in this area.

Being in this industry, it is natural to have reserves of manpower, tools and instruments in this industry.

Lawrence ordered his men to call out a few people who had been verified, but Fujimoto was touching with his hands and looking with his eyes.

Fujimoto is an executive at the bank, and he usually comes into contact with gold a lot, and it is easy to verify that he is very good at it, and it can also be concluded from a few scratches that this Buddha statue is gold at least at the level of scratches.

Fujimoto checked it while paying attention to Lawrence's expression, and it was obvious that the old man was tempted.

Fujimoto is a little anxious, according to his usual calm mentality, this is a bit of a gaffe, but he has lost tens of millions of bank funds, if he can't raise money to fill this hole in the short term, then his future can be said to be broken, and the end has come!

But now is the perfect opportunity!

If it is verified that the year of this golden Buddha statue is an antiquity, then this thing is a national treasure with an absolute value of more than 10 million, a real national treasure-level cultural relic!

And Fujimoto Tsuyoshi is even more impressed by the fact that this golden Buddha statue is exactly the same as the fake Asura King Buddha statue he made, and he considered it when he decided to use the Asura King as a model, this shape of Asura is made according to the most common image in Japanese legends and modern anime film and television, and there are traditional Japanese elements at a glance.

But what he did was fake, and Zhou Xuan's golden Buddha statue completely has their Japanese style elements, if this is really an antiquity, then if he can buy it, this one is taken back to Japan, then he is a hero, and it is estimated that it will be at least 100 million US dollars, which is a real national treasure!

If...... Of course, this is only if, it still has to be verified, if it is true, Fujimoto Tsuyoshi is far away Lawrence wants to buy this golden Buddha statue of the Asura King, which can allow him to completely get out of the quagmire of losing public funds.

Lawrence's two inspection masters also came out, and then Zhou Xuan, Lawrence and Fujimoto just took two steps back, and let the two experts test the gold content of the Buddha statue of the Asura King.

Usually there are several professional ways to detect gold, one is to measure the quality, because the quality of gold is different from any other metal, measure the volume of the Buddha statue, and then calculate the density of this volume, and then compare it with gold, if the result is similar, it can indeed be gold.

Then there is the equiaxed crystal system of gold. The shape of the crystal is often cubic or octahedral. When the crystals are dissolved and then condensed, they are irregular polygonal. The slower it cools, the larger the crystals. Of course, this method requires certain instruments and conditions, but these are not conditions for Lawrence.

Generally speaking, fake gold is a mixture of zinc and copper, and hydrogen will be generated when strong acid is added, while gold is extremely corrosion-resistant and will not dissolve in solutions such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid.

There is also the color of gold, the color of gold is golden yellow, metallic luster, no cleavage. When gold is melted, the steam emitted is green; During the smelting process, its gold dust is usually brown; If you cast it into a thin sheet, it can transmit green light. Of course, it is impossible to take the Golden Buddha for smelting.

Gold is unusually malleable and malleable, gold is the strongest of all metals, 1 ounce of gold can be drawn up to 50 miles long, its malleability makes it easy to cast, and it is the best choice for making jewelry. Gold is also second to none in terms of malleability, as it can create extremely thin flakes that are easy to roll up. One ounce of gold can be hammered as thin as 1 foot thick and 100 square feet in size, and it is said that 1 ounce of gold can be used to cover the roof of a house, which can be imagined from the strong malleability of gold.

In fact, for professionals, it is easy to detect the authenticity and purity of gold, and the so-called scammers deceive only those rural people who have not seen gold, and generally those who know a little will also be identified by the craftsmen and masters who strike gold in the streets and alleys.

Zhou Xuan naturally didn't worry about them verifying, but he could only keep it for six hours after he converted it into gold, but here, it was impossible to delay it for six hours, and even if it was so long, he could still extend it for another six hours if he transformed it again, but he had to force Fujimoto to make a move as soon as possible.

Lawrence's two professionals used several techniques to test the Buddha statue inside and out without damaging the integrity of the Asura Buddha statue, and found that the Buddha statue was pure gold with a high purity of 99.99% inside and out!

Next, Fujimoto used Lawrence's instrument to measure some of the old spots and rust in some of the uneven hidden places of the Buddha statue, and the results made Fujimoto excited and surprised: these things showed that this Asura King Buddha statue was at least 500 years old!

Fujimoto Gang didn't expect that these old rusty spots were all made by himself, Zhou Xuan deliberately kept these when he transformed, Fujimoto Gang was excited to fully believe that this Buddha statue is a priceless Japanese national treasure, the reason why he didn't think of a fake, that is because ordinary people can't and can't take a hundred catties of gold to cast a Buddha statue to fake, because this is not in line with the principle of counterfeiters, the cost is too high, if it is replaced with copper cast iron, then Fujimoto Gang will carefully test and consider, however, replace it like that, He wouldn't be so tempted either!

By this time, Fujimoto Tsuyoshi was completely convinced and intoxicated by the flaws of the Buddha statue of the Asura King, and his eyes almost lit up!

Zhou Xuan secretly glanced at Lawrence, this foreign old man was also a little happy, and he was full of great interest in this Asura King Buddha statue.

To tell the truth, Zhou Xuan never wanted to cheat Lawrence out of a sum of money, he was just extremely unhappy when he saw Ito and Fujimoto Gang, most of his resentment came from his miss for Fu Ying, and this Ito pushed him and Fu Ying into a desperate situation many times, and he himself was just fine, but it was different for Fu Ying, although it was a last resort to leave Fu Ying, but Zhou Xuan was still full of thoughts and love for Fu Ying, and he did not have the slightest hatred for Fu Tianlai, the Fu family, and they also had their own ideas.

Zhou Xuan vented all his grievances on these two devils, since it is not a good thing, then push them into the fire again!

Wei Haihong felt that Zhou Xuan was very strange today, this golden Buddha statue of the Asura King appeared inexplicably, like this thing, it is definitely a good thing worth a lot of money, where did he come from? Besides, with Zhou Xuan's character, he won't hide it from him!

Although Wei Haihong felt strange, he calmed down and didn't bother Zhou Xuan, looking at what he was going to do, but no matter what he did, he believed that Zhou Xuan would never do anything to be sorry for him.

It's just that there are a lot of things that I can't figure out and are abrupt, so I can only wait and see.

When the inspectors took away the instruments, Lawrence and Fujimoto gathered around the statue of King Asura again.

Zhou Xuan was a little worried about this situation, it would be difficult to say if Lawrence wanted to buy this fake Buddha statue, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Lawrence's strength was far superior to Fujimoto Gang.

Lawrence smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, this Asura King Buddha statue, do you have the intention to make a move?" Make an offer! ”
