Chapter 373: Buddha's Belly Hidden Treasure?

"Han... Boss Han, it can be cheaper, you want to ...... Otherwise, don't you see 18,000 lines? My things were handed down by my grandfather, and if he was still alive, I wouldn't have sold them......"

Fan Xiaowu was so excited that he stammered a little when he spoke, he was afraid that Han Chong would not buy it, so he took the initiative to drop two thousand dollars, and said that this was his grandfather's relic.

"Eighteen Thousand ......"

Han Chong muttered a sentence in his mouth, then looked around the Buddha carving, nodded heavily, and said: "It is fate to meet Brother Fan, 18,000, just 18,000, but Brother Fan, can you take this thing out of the country?" If I am confiscated by the customs again, then I will be wronged......"

Han Chong didn't know if Myanmar banned the export of such items, and if it was really as he said, if he bought it and confiscated it, it would really not be worth it.

Fan Xiaowu saw that the big business was negotiated, and hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, so let's do it, little brother, wait a minute, I'll help you open an ......invoice for handicrafts" Fan Xiaowu actually didn't know whether this thing was prohibited from being exported, but he knew that the things bought in Myanmar could definitely be taken out as long as there was an invoice issued by a state-run store.

Fan Xiaowu beckoned a familiar stall owner in the stall next to him and asked him to help take care of it, and then ran to the state-run store at the gate of the Shwedagon Pagoda in a hurry.

At this time, Han Chong carefully reproduced and looked at the Buddha carving, and Bi Yue slowly came to Han Chong's side, just now he had been bargaining with the stall owner, Bi Yue simply didn't interject, but watching Han Chong spend 18,000 dollars to buy this Buddha carving, Bi Yue was still a little puzzled.

"Han Chong, you spent more than 100,000 yuan on this thing, is it worth it?"

Bi Yue saw Han Chong rubbing this ivory Buddha statue up and down with her hands, and asked with some puzzlement, in her opinion, it looked like something sold by these tourist attractions. Most of them are fake, Han Chong took out more than 110,000 yuan at once, and maybe he was slaughtered by that Fan Xiaowu.

As the saying goes: fellow villagers, a shot in the back, people who come to Myanmar for tourism, but also count the most Chinese, to say that Fan Xiaowu will treat the Chinese differently, Bi Yue does not believe it, businessmen seek profit, slaughter is their own people.

Bi Yue's concern Han Chong knew. is also because Bi Yue believes in Han Chong, so Bi Yue didn't say much when he bought it, but he always wanted to dispel the doubts in his heart at the moment.

Looking at Bi Yue looking at himself expectantly, Han Chong said, "It's worth it, of course it's worth it, hand-carved products have been heating up in recent years, and such a large and complete ivory carving work is rare in China." In recent years, the price of ivory carving handicrafts has also risen sharply, and if you bring it back, you may be able to double it......"

"It won't be 18,000, will it?"

"Maybe."

Han Chong didn't dare to say more, if he said that this thing could be worth seven or eight million if it was verified by its age. That will definitely surprise Bi Yue, Han Chong has a feeling in his heart, such a large volume of objects, some domestic materials. It will definitely be documented.

"As long as you don't lose." Bi Yue said reassuringly, otherwise it would be his fault to bring Han Chong to the Shwedagon Pagoda.

The two admired the Buddha carving together, at this time. Fan Xiaowu hurriedly ran back, he was still holding a rectangular box made of bamboo, the size looked just right to hold the ivory Buddha statue, this is a bamboo box made of Myanmar, this box also costs thirty or forty dollars, which Fan Xiaowu bought to match and give to Han Chong.

Han Chong put his hand and Fan Xiaowu together, carefully put the ivory Buddha statue into the bamboo box horizontally, and then stuffed the sponge and waste newspaper around it, the bamboo box itself is elastic, so that even if there is some collision, it will not damage the objects inside.

"Boss, this is the invoice, you take the ......" After packing up, Fan Xiaowu pushed the box to Han Chong, and handed over the invoice he had just issued, which was in Burmese, and Han Chong couldn't understand it, so after taking the invoice, he handed it to Bi Yue.

Bi Yue has been in contact with the Myanmar business with Bi Jiahao all the year round, but she knows the Myanmar invoice.

Bi Yue glanced at the invoice, nodded, handed the 18,000 yuan knife that had been counted just now to Fan Xiaowu, and picked up the box from the ground.

"Thank you."

"Yes, no thanks, goodbye!"

…… Carrying this big box, there is no way to go around again, fortunately, the Shwedagon Pagoda has been toured, Han Chong and Bi Yue, and they don't want to continue to do anything here, Han Chong carried the box, Bi Yue followed behind, and after the two of them came out, they took a taxi and went back to the hotel.

The Myanmar Jade Market is scheduled to open on November 5, and most of the businessmen at home and abroad are rushing to Yangon today, after Han Chong walked into the hotel, he saw a lot of familiar faces, the gambling stone circle is so big, and the well-known jewelry companies are those few, and it is difficult to touch them.

It's just that Han Chong was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Shuai, Jiang Ting, as well as Zhao Mengde and Zhao Ling'er, saying that they all came to Myanmar.

This posture seems to have something precious in Myanmar, not only because of the public market.

Stop-and-go, followed Bi Yue and the wool merchants from China to say hello, and when they arrived at the elevator, Han Chong hurriedly got in. Back at the hotel, Han Chong was a little impatient to uncover the secret in the ivory carving, but this trip was very uncomfortable, and Han Chong went to the bathroom to take a shower first.

When Han Chong came out, the ivory Buddha statue had already been placed on the table in the living room, Xu Guang didn't know when he came, he was observing carefully at this time.

"Han Chong, I heard Sister Bi Yue say that you missed an ivory Buddha carving, why can't I see anything about this Buddha carving, can it be worth hundreds of thousands? Are you coaxing Sister Biyue? ”

Xu Guang had been walking around this ivory carving several times just now, but the shape was a little special, and he couldn't see that this thing that couldn't be eaten or drunk was so valuable.

"Hundreds of thousands? Hehe, Xu Guang, I have to add a zero ...... later"

Han Chong laughed proudly, as the saying goes, gold and antiques in troubled times, when the war is in chaos, these things are worthless, and they are too cumbersome to carry, but in today's world, it is a priceless treasure, in short, Han Chong will not sell this thing.

"How many ...... Millions? ”

Xu Guang's lips squirmed, and he looked at the Buddha sculpture in disbelief, "That's it." He can be worth millions, Brother Han Chong, aren't you joking? ”

"I'm laughing at you. Have you ever seen me laugh so seriously? ”

Xu Guang is even more interested, he knows how Han Chong's money came from, if it is really as he said, just go out here, and get millions of dollars, where is the luck that ordinary people can have.

In Xu Guang's heart, at this time, he was thinking about getting started quickly and helping out in Han Chong's antique shop. With this kind of skill, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. "Brother Han, tell me quickly, why are there only millions?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter how much it's worth, and I didn't think about selling it, and I don't think I can get a few pieces in China...... I'm going to put it in the store and offer it. ”

Han Chong had already paid attention to the ivory carving at this time, and he was thinking about how to open the "door" that had been repaired into it again and take out the wax pill inside. Of course, Han Chong didn't want to damage this Buddha statue, otherwise he would just throw it on the ground and listen to it, and the thing would be taken out.

"Brother Han. I really don't understand what is different about this ivory Buddha carving, can you tell me that I can become an apprentice in your antique shop? ”

Han Chong smiled, "See if something is an antique." At its most basic, you are supposed to have a foundation, but you lack observation. Take your time. ”

"Okay."

Xu Guang is really in a state and stage of learning at the moment, he nodded, and followed Han Chong's gaze to notice the ivory carving of the Buddha.

Really, just after careful observation, Xu Guang also saw a little different.

"Brother Han Chong, it seems that I saw a little, did you find it, this...."

Knock knock, at this time, the door rang a few times, and before Han Chong and Xu Guang could open the door, the door had already opened.

It was no one else who entered the door, but Bi Jiahao and Xiaoma, who lived next door.

They also got the news from Bi Yue and heard that Han Chong had obtained the treasure.

"Brother Han Chong, I heard that you went out and came back with a good object? Why don't you say shouting to my brother to go together......"

When Han Chong was looking at the ivory carving intently, Bi Jiahao's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and when he looked up, he found that Bi Jiahao and the pony didn't know when they entered the house.

"I thought you were resting, didn't you have to participate in the public market tomorrow, so I didn't bother...... And when I went out, Bi Yue called me, the two of us, don't you want us to go around more? ”

Han Chong said humorously, but Bi Jiahao had no reason to say what Han Chong was right or wrong.

"What treasure did you miss?"

"It's not a treasure, it's just a ivory carving." Han Chong smiled bitterly.

"Ivory carving." The pony gathered around and looked up. "Good thing, really good thing, such a big ivory Buddha carving, it's really rare, and look at this shape and dentin, it should be a thing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Boss Han, you're not a small one......

The pony is also very good at studying antiques, he spoke, Bi Jiahao also seemed very excited, I don't know where to touch the magnifying glass, Bi Jiahao pushed the magnifying glass, around the ivory carving is also looked at for a long time.

At the same time, Bi Jiahao looked at Han Chong with his eyes, this Han Chong is simply a god, he can meet good things wherever he goes, this ivory carving is obviously an old object in China, and he can actually find it in Myanmar. This guy is the best.

With a roll of his eyes, Bi Jiahao actually wanted Han Chong to sell this object to him, seven or eight million was nothing to Bi Jiahao, but Bi Jiahao also knew that Han Chong would not give such a good thing to himself, so after looking at it a few more times, after Han Chong's eyes were so resolute, Bi Jiahao also dismissed his plan to buy this superb ivory carving from Han Chong.

"It's a good thing, then you have to keep it well, although the security of this hotel is good, but I still recommend you to put it in the safe of the hotel."

"Well, I know, but I still have to take a look at this ivory carving first, thank you Brother Bi."

"Well, it's okay, then you can continue to watch, the pony and I just came over to take a look, then let's go first." Bi Jiahao just came to take a look at the good things that Han Chong had picked up, and when he saw it, he knew that Han Chong would not change hands, so he had no intention of staying.

He told Han Chong to have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's public market, Han Chong said that it was good, and he also sent the two out of the room, closed the door, and returned to the tooth carving, Han Chong looked again, the mysterious wax pill in the tooth carving made him really a little itchy.

He didn't take it out today to take a look at the paper ball and see what it was, Han Chong was not well rested.

"Brother Han, this place doesn't look like it's touched, otherwise it wouldn't be so regular, right?"

In fact, just now I saw Han Chong looking at the armpit of the ivory carving figure, Xu Guang also discovered the secret, but just now Bi Jiahao and Xiaoma came over, Xu Guang didn't say anything.

Xu Guang found the repair place, although the traces of the repair were already very faint, but Xu Guang still saw that the shape did not seem to be bumped.

"Huh? Do you see that? This is indeed not like a crack that came out, but it seems to be dug out, a bit like a small door that was deliberately opened, ancient people often liked to hide treasures in the belly of the enshrined Buddha statue, do you say there will be something in it? ”

Han Chong glanced at Xu Guang and deliberately used words to guide him, Han Chong didn't want to hide from Xu Guang to take out the contents of it, so he had to have a suitable reason

"Brother Han, are you kidding...... Will there be something here? Xu Guang didn't believe it very much, he had nothing to hide any treasure in the belly of the Buddha statue.

"Jokes? What I said is true, haven't you heard of it? ……”

"Still, it's possible."

Han Chong's statement that ancient people often liked to hide treasures in the belly of the enshrined Buddha statues is not nonsense, and there are allusions in history.

In Chinese history, during the Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced to China from India, and when it came to the Sui and Tang dynasties in the north and south, the development reached the peak of prosperity, and the level of Buddhism surpassed India, and China replaced India as the center of Buddhism in the world.

In that period, although there was no shortage of monks like Xuanzang and Jianzhen, there were more scum of Buddhism, bullying men and women, and forcibly occupying people's houses and fertile land.

And those flower monks, after collecting a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, in order to hide it, borrowed the name of casting Buddha, fired and cast a lot of large bronze Buddha, it seems to be a solid Buddha statue, in fact, inside, it is a hidden mystery, the belly of the Buddha statue is empty, and there is a huge wealth hidden by those monks.

So there is history to learn from this. (To be continued......)
