Chapter 1203: Biao's acting
Jin Muchen and Jesse chatted with each other, but while talking, their eyes would glance to the other side from time to time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the other side of the road, Kate and the old lady walked and talked, walking very slowly, and the two seemed to have a good conversation, and seemed to be very familiar friends.
However, the two of them walked very slowly, in fact, the main reason was that the old lady walked very slowly, and as she walked, her eyes kept scanning the stalls on both sides of the road, as if she was very concerned about what was placed on those stalls.
Apparently the old lady was a regular visitor to the flea market, and whenever she had something she liked, she would stop, walk over and talk to the stall owner, and then take the things she was interested in and take them to look at them, but in the end they didn't work out, and then put them down again, and then continued on their way.
In just a distance of about 100 meters, this old lady walked for more than half an hour, and she didn't feel tired at all.
Finally, they came to Jin Muchen's booth, but at this time, Jin Muchen and Jesse were sitting in the trunk of the blue Chevrolet van, and the two of them pretended to kiss me and me, not caring about the customers in front of them at all.
And almost as soon as the old lady came to their stall, she was immediately attracted by the two bronze Buddhas placed in their stall.
These two bronze Buddhas are tall and one short standing in front of their stalls, and the Dharma is solemn, but for most foreigners who come here, they don't see anything wonderful about these two bronze Buddhas, and only think that they are traditional family decorations from the East.
But for this old lady who has been playing with antiques for decades, she was immediately attracted by these two bronze Buddhas, Ashley. Beaton originally came from a wealthy family, the Beaton family, a prominent family in the California area.
The family has been in existence for hundreds of years, and her ancestors were bankrupt farmers from England who came to the American continent three hundred years ago.
However, at that time, the Biton family did not dare to call it a family at all, and after arriving on the American continent, they were just a homesteaders, and their family lived in Lexington at that time.
That is, Lexington, who later fired the first shot of American independence, and later her grandfather happened to participate in the American Revolutionary War, and followed Washington and their gang to make a revolution.
But after American independence, his grandfather returned to Lexington, but by that time their homeland had been destroyed by the war.
Later, when the US government promulgated preferential policies and regulations for the large-scale development of the western region, her ancestors simply gritted their teeth and brought their families to California in the western part of the United States.
At that time, California had just become the territory of the U.S. government, and it was still quite peaceful, and the other two leaders of the Beaton family at that time started their business as bounty hunters here, and they made their first pot of gold by helping the government hunt down horse bandits and wanted criminals.
After that, their family bought a house and land here, became a squire here, and then participated in many engineering developments in California, and even bought an oil field when it was developed in Texas, and finally sold it to the Rockefeller family.
So this Ashley. Beaton received an elite education since he was a child, not only knowing how to deal with interpersonal relationships, but also being influenced by his family in collecting antiques, and he has his own set since he was a child.
A family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, although their collection of antiques is not comparable with those big families in the United States, but it is also quite a lot, which can be counted.
And this Ashley, since she was a child, so she can be said to have her own unique ability for shareholder identification, and when she went to college, she studied a major in art archaeology.
And when she came to this booth today, she suddenly saw such two bronze Buddhas, and she immediately found the feeling that the bronze Buddha in such a good condition has not been seen on the market for a long time.
These two Buddha statues, with obvious symbolic characteristics of ancient Chinese bronze Buddhas, but there are slight differences, but what is the difference, Ashley still can't remember for a while, always have to buy these two bronze Buddhas back, to the home after a good study, she can tell.
"Hey, young man, are these two bronze Buddha statues yours?"
Ashley stood in front of this booth for a long time, and looked at the two bronze Buddhas for a long time, but the stall owner didn't come to introduce the meaning of the two bronze Buddhas, which made her a little annoyed.
When I looked up again, I just saw the two young guys, hugging each other, sitting in the back seat of the van and gnawing.
Ay! Today's young people, they don't even know how to do business, they know where to fall in love, Ashley sighed in his heart, at this time, the two young people heard his greeting, let go of each other, stood up, and walked over to her, and seeing the figures of these two people, Ashley couldn't help but cheer.
Both of them are well-proportioned and tall, although the boy is an Asian look, but he looks tall and handsome, and has a heroic spirit that many Western boys rarely have, and the girl is also very beautiful, but her temperament is a little cold, and she seems to be a little older than this boy.
A good pair and a golden boy and a girl, the old lady secretly admired in her heart, but looking at their dress, and then look at the car they drove, the economic situation of these two people does not seem to be very good, it should be a soil bun from a nearby farm, I have not seen anything in the world, otherwise I would not have put such two bronze Buddhas here.
"Hi, good morning, how can I help you?"
The two men came in front of them, and the boy asked politely, and Ashley nodded, then pointed to the two bronze Buddhas.
"Are these two bronze Buddhas yours? How much are you going to sell? ”
"Ah, these two bronze Buddhas, this is ours. Hehe, you're asking the right person, these two bronze Buddhas were brought by my grandfather when he immigrated from China, and it is said that his grandfather passed them on to him, and they have been in our family for many years. Hundreds of years of things, absolute antiques, you look at the carving on the Buddha statue, as well as the pouring process, this is the characteristics of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so these are two bronze Buddha statues of the Northern Wei Dynasty. My grandfather told me that if such a bronze Buddha were to be auctioned, it would sell for a million dollars. ”
At this time, Jin Muchen began to talk nonsense in front of this old lady according to the script, and this old lady couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart when she heard the introduction of this young man.
This guy is really a dirt bun from the farm, he doesn't understand anything, and the carving style of the Northern Wei Dynasty, where is such a bronze Buddha statue carved, and how can it be a work of the Northern Wei Dynasty?
If it is a work of the Northern Wei Dynasty, these two bronze Buddhas think, it will be valuable.
As soon as this young man opened his mouth, he asked for a bronze Buddha statue for one million, could it be that this guy is crazy because of lack of money? As soon as Jin Muchen spoke, Ashley's side treated this guy as a second knife who didn't understand anything.
However, she didn't have any soft thoughts about such a young man, after all, how did these two bronze Buddha statues come about?
Although this pair of handsome men and beautiful women are very beautiful, who knows if they will be criminals who specialize in selling stolen goods behind them?
What if they stole these two bronze Buddha statues from somewhere? They may not know the specific origin.
"Young man, don't go around in circles with me, these two bronze Buddha statues are not works of the Northern Wei Dynasty in China at all, you look at the carvings on the clothes, as well as the handprints of the Buddha statues, and their facial expressions, these are not the characteristics of the Buddha statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Well, tell me the truth, how did you get these two bronze Buddha statues? ”
Ashley directly refuted Jin Muchen's nonsense, and at this time, Jin Muchen, who was standing opposite, had a blushing face and a thick neck, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it.
"These two Buddha statues are indeed Grandpa Kevin's, they must be Chinese antiques, and they must be very valuable."
Jin Muchen stopped talking, and Jesse naturally wanted to stand up and cooperate with him, and Kate, who had been standing next to Ashley at this time, began to speak up and help the old lady speak.
"Come on, you guys, we all know very well how this thing came about. Let me tell you the truth, these two Buddha statues of yours are not Chinese Buddha statues at all, but Buddha statues produced in North Korea. These are all the works of Chinese Buddha statues in North Korea, which are just a bunch of tatters in China, and they are not worth anything at all. ”
As soon as Kate said this, Jin Muchen and Jesse's faces suddenly changed, but the same thing was that their faces were pale.
At this time, the old lady Ashley turned her head to look at Kate, her eyes were full of gratitude and appreciation, Kate gave the old lady a look, and then continued.
"Okay, you don't have to worry, we won't call the police, we are indeed very interested in these two Buddha statues, so let's do it, we are willing to pay 50,000 US dollars for these two Buddha statues, what do you think?" (To be continued.) )
