Chapter 65, smashing the treasure field

"Our Professor Tao is an expert in identifying ceramics, and today I was invited by the Jizhen Museum to be a witness." At this time, the girl stood beside Lin Fan and said to him with a smile, a faint fragrance came from her body, making Lin Fan feel her heat.

Wang Biao and Zhou Xiaolin took a step back, and squeezed their eyes at Lin Fan with the girl behind their backs, because the three of them could feel that this girl had some meaning to Lin Fan, so they deliberately stayed next to Lin Fan to talk to him.

"Then our luck is really good, I'm afraid we won't encounter this scene a few times in our lives." Lin Fan responded with a smile.

"My name is Tao Jingjing, what about you?"

The girl nodded, then suddenly leaned over, approached Lin Fan and whispered, a strand of her hair swept over Lin Fan's nose, and the faint fragrance made Lin Fan couldn't help but take a deep breath secretly, full of Tao Jingjing's smell.

"It turned out to be Senior Sister Jingjing, and I am Lin Fan." Lin Fan hurriedly replied, and then secretly said in his heart, Tao Jingjing, isn't it Professor Tao's relative.

"Professor Tao is my grandfather, my grandfather's graduate student, inheriting his archaeological career." Tao Jingjing seemed to have guessed Lin Fan's thoughts, and turned her head to him and whispered to him, making Lin Fan suddenly realize.

Generally speaking, girls are reluctant to study a major like archaeology, because if they engage in archaeological work in the future, they will have to live in the wild for many years, and they will have to deal more with ancient tombs, and ordinary girls can't stand it at all.

"Senior Sister Jingjing, you are really amazing." Lin Fan said to her with a solemn expression that he really admired this girl from the bottom of his heart.

"Are you done whispering, everyone is going to the second floor." At this time, Wang Biao next to them interrupted them, and the two realized that Professor Tao had already led the students to the second floor.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly a tacit understanding emerged in their hearts, and they no longer spoke, but walked towards the second floor one after the other. Tao Jingjing walked in front, her ponytail was jumping, her hair was flying, full of youthful vitality, and the fragrance emanating from her body made Lin Fan's heart feel a little strange.

A group of people quietly followed Professor Tao to the second floor, and saw the same exhibition hall. It's just that the exhibition hall here is a little different from the downstairs, instead of putting the collections together in rows, there are many separate booths, each booth is independent, and only one collection is displayed inside, next to the basic introduction of the collection, and the price tag.

So, although the second floor is about the same size as the first floor, the collection on display is much smaller. However, these collections are basically high-quality products, with the cheapest prices being more than 50,000 yuan, and the most expensive ones even numbering hundreds of thousands.

"It's too expensive, such a small cup will cost more than 100,000 yuan." Zhou Xiaolin stood in front of a jade cup and sighed.

Lin Fan also took a closer look at this jade cup and found that it was no more than the size of an ordinary wine glass, with a white texture, slightly yellowed, and the body of the cup was embossed with four big characters, Fu Lu Shou Huan. The introduction next to it said that it was a jade cup made in the year of Qianlong, and the price was 120,000 yuan.

"What is this. The collection on the second floor is just a fine product, not a treasure. All the truly valuable treasures in the Jizhen Museum are on the third floor, but ordinary customers can't go up, they must be led by regular customers, and they have to pay a million deposit to be eligible to go up.

According to my uncle, although the number of collections on the third floor is not more than 100, its value is immeasurable, it may be millions of pieces, and it may be worth tens of millions. Wang Biao whispered beside him.

"That's right, last time I saw an ancient calligraphy work on the third floor with my grandfather, which was purchased by a private collector for 70 million Chinese dollars, and it is said to be the authentic work of Liu Gongquan." Tao Jingjing also nodded and said to Lin Fan, hearing Lin Fan and Zhou Xiaolin smack their tongues.

"Professor Tao, welcome. Mr. Yu and Professor Chen have already arrived, and now we are waiting for you to get old. ”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties ushered in front of him, and he stretched out his hand and said to Professor Tao with a smile, then shook hands with Professor Tao, took half a step sideways, and stretched out his hand to lead Professor Tao to the back of the exhibition hall.

"Is someone really going to smash the treasure? We can open our eyes today and go to the treasure field together. Wang Biao looked very excited and said to Lin Fan and Zhou Xiaolin.

"Come with us." Tao Jingjing invited Lin Fan and the three to follow them.

Everyone followed Professor Tao and the middle-aged man around a screen, and found that there was a place similar to a performance booth at the back, with a ten-square-meter platform on it, several seats on the right side, and a small table in the middle.

And in front of the platform, there are more than twenty seats, which seem to be the audience seats. When Lin Fan and the others came in, they found that there were already a few people sitting on the seats above the platform, and more than a dozen people were sitting in the audience below.

Professor Tao followed the middle-aged man to the platform and walked towards the seat on the right side of the platform, laughing loudly and greeting the few people sitting there, who seemed to be acquaintances.

At this time, the students brought by Professor Tao had already found seats in the audience and sat down, and Lin Fan and the three of them also hurriedly sat down next to them, and Tao Jingjing happened to be next to Lin Fan.

"The old man with glasses is called Yu Guohua, a collector and a person who has studied antiques. In addition, the old man with sparse hair is called Chen Qingyou, an expert in gold and stone, and a professor at a university. Tao Jingjing saw Lin Fan looking at the people on the platform, so she turned her head and whispered to him.

It turns out that even in the treasure smashing field of the Jizhen Pavilion, it is not possible to meet people smashing treasures often. And once someone wants to smash the treasure, the Jizhen Pavilion will invite some experts to come over to sit on the spot for identification, and Professor Tao and others are the experts often invited by the Jizhen Pavilion.

However, in addition to Yu Guohua and Chen Qingyou, there is also a fat-headed and big-eared guy next to him, who is also forty or fifty years old, with a face full of meat, but a small braid on his head hangs down the back of his head, which looks a little nondescript.

"Is that guy an expert too?" Lin Fan pointed to this person and asked.

"I haven't seen it, I don't know it." Tao Jingjing shook her head, her eyes were also full of doubts, and she found that her grandfather didn't greet the man, and probably didn't know him.

Lin Fan's eyes looked at the platform, because he saw that on the small table above the platform, there was a red flannel cloth, and there was a collection on it, but it was a golden Buddha seventy or eighty centimeters high, which could be called a big golden Buddha.

With Lin Fan's knowledge, he only recognized this Buddha statue as Shakyamuni sitting in a bun, wearing a blue Buddha head, eyes slightly closed, two ears hanging shoulders, sitting on knots, casting magic seals, wearing a light and close-fitting robe, and exposing his right shoulder. The body proportions are harmonious and the shape is beautiful.

"Such a big golden Buddha should be very valuable." Lin Fan asked Tao Jingjing for advice.

"This Buddha statue is supposed to be a gilded bronze Buddha statue, gilded throughout, not really cast in gold, but cast with copper on the inside and a layer of gold dust on the outside. A Buddha statue cast in copper or bronze with a gilded movable surface, commonly known as a gilded bronze Buddha statue.

This Buddha statue was used in the palace temple; Its emergence began in the Han Dynasty, prevailed in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and continued until the Ming and Qing dynasties. To the Republic of China, and even in modern Hong Kong and Taiwan, gilded bronze Buddha statues are still in use. There are several types of gilded bronze Buddha statues, and the common ones are Shakyamuni, Guanyin, Manjushri, Puxian, Heavenly Queen Mother, etc. ”

Tao Jingjing shook her head lightly, and slowly explained to Lin Fan that she had also heard her grandfather talk about these things for a long time, so she still had some knowledge. When she shook her head, the ponytail on the back of her head also shook gently, and her hair fluttered, gently caressing Lin Fan's face, giving him a crispy and numb feeling.

"So, the collection to be smashed today is this gilded bronze Buddha statue? I don't know which guy is so bold that he dares to smash a Buddha statue. Lin Fan hurriedly shifted his attention and said to himself.

"I think it's probably that guy, and when you look at him like that, he doesn't look like a person who can worship Buddha." Tao Jingjing heard it, and pointed to the pigtail with a smile on her face.

"It should be him." Lin Fan saw that the pigtail suddenly stood up, shook hands with the person in the Jizhen Pavilion, and then walked to the Buddha statue together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today you are fortunate to meet someone in our treasure smashing field, which is worth the trip. However, I still have to introduce the rules of our treasure smashing field again.

If someone buys a collection on the second floor of our Jizhen Museum, if they are convinced that this collection is fake, then they can apply to us to smash the treasure. After the collection is smashed, the authenticity is verified by experts.

If the expert determines that the item is fake, we will refund the purchase price of the item and allow the customer to pick a piece for free that is equivalent to the price of the smashed item.

However, if the smashed items are determined to be genuine, the customer will have to pay double the price of the items to our Jizhen Museum to cover our losses and related costs.

Today, this gentleman bought a gilded bronze Buddha statue from the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Han Dynasty for 250,000 yuan. However, Mr. Zhu thought that this collection was fake, so he applied to us to smash the treasure.

Next, please ask Mr. Zhu to smash this gilded bronze Buddha statue with his own hands, and then hand it over to the experts to identify the authenticity of the gilded bronze Buddha statue, and the appraisal results will be used as the final judgment basis, please also be a witness. ”

The middle-aged man in the Jizhen Pavilion introduced the rules of smashing the treasure field to everyone with a smile, and explained that what Mr. Zhu was going to smash today was indeed the gilded bronze Buddha statue on the table. >
