Chapter 672: Forced Buy, Strong Sell
The statue of the Buddha on the Korean Peninsula should be divided into three important periods according to the historical examination.
From the fourth century AD, Buddhism was introduced to the Korean Peninsula, when the Korean Peninsula was still in the era of the Three Kingdoms, and the latest country where Buddhism was introduced was the Silla Kingdom at that time, but it was this Silla Kingdom that introduced Buddhism the most well.
Buddhism during this period can be said to be completely in the style of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in China at that time, and it can even be said that it is completely in a state of copying, which is most evident in the statues of the Buddha enshrined in the temples.
Later, in the seventh century AD, after the Silla Kingdom united with the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje and unify the Korean Peninsula, Buddhism in this period was also deeply influenced by the Buddhist style of the Tang Dynasty, which is also very clearly reflected in the statue of the Buddha.
In the late Silla Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula began to gradually have its own Buddhist filming, and its own style of Buddha statues, and by the 14th century AD, after the Goryeo Dynasty completely replaced the Silla Dynasty, the Buddha statues on the Korean Peninsula have completely formed their own characteristics and style system.
And the two Buddha statues in front of him, after Jin Muchen carefully judged for a while, he finally came to the conclusion that these two Buddha statues should be the version of the Buddha statue on the Korean Peninsula in the late Silla Dynasty.
Because of this period, the statue of the Buddha on the Korean Peninsula has not yet formed its own unique characteristics, but it is also in a very obvious transition period.
At that time, even the originator of the Buddha statue on the Korean Peninsula, the Buddha statue in the Qingzhou area of Lu Province. It's all starting to change styles. And on the Korean Peninsula. The statue of the Buddha here still retains the characteristics of the Qingzhou region of Lu Province.
It's just that in the face shape and demeanor of the Buddha statue, it has begun to gradually form its own style, and the decoration of the Buddha's clothes, and the lotus petal pillar used below, still retain the characteristics of the Buddha statue in Qingzhou, Lu Province.
Based on the above arguments, Jin Muchen can be sure that these two Buddha statues are definitely Buddha statues from the Korean Peninsula, although it is impossible to determine the exact date of their birth, but the origin is confirmed.
In consideration of the urine characteristics of the Korean Peninsula that the slump barrenness. Although these two Buddha statues cannot be compared with our domestic Buddha statues at all, or even with Japanese statues, they certainly belong to the category of Korean national treasures.
You must know that the country that has no history of its own, but I can't wait for a little bit of something, it has to be marked with its own national treasure, not to mention the things produced on its own land, even if it is something from China, they dare to say that it originated from them, so this thing, if it is in their own hands. That's where it gets interesting.
Although this thing is not from the hand of some famous artist, it is not a great masterpiece. But once you get a national treasure of North Korea, hehe, it will be terrible.
Considering the Korean people, who are particularly sensitive to self-esteem, hehe, these two things, the price will definitely be a lot higher at that time.
Thinking of this, he raised his head with a smile, looked at the North Korean stall owner with a blue face and asked, "Boss, how much do you ask for this thing?" ”
At this time, the North Korean stall owner's face changed suddenly, seeing his suddenly changing face, Jin Muchen knew that he must be able to understand English, and he had been playing dumb with himself before.
This is interesting, he is a North Korean who does antique business, and this thing is a national treasure of North Korea, it stands to reason that if such a thing falls into the hands of North Koreans, whether he is a South Korean or a North Korean, then he will definitely treat this thing as an ancestor, as a great treasure.
After taking it back, it must be a big publicity, but this guy mixed these two Buddha statues in the middle of those inconspicuous fakes, and also separated the two Buddha statues and collected the lotus petal pillars, which is very revealing.
On the one hand, he set up a stall to open a store, so he should be afraid that his things will not sell, and he wants to sell them at a good price.
But this guy looks like he's afraid that others will recognize these two things, which is very interesting.
If you don't want to sell it, why do you put things out again? And mixed in with those fake Buddha carvings?
What does he mean exactly? Or is it deliberately hiding some ulterior motives?
And this guy can understand English, but he has been pretending to be stupid in front of himself, all of which shows that this North Korean is very problematic.
"Baga, let me ask you how much this bronze Buddha statue is worth, hurry up and quote a price!"
The North Korean was silent, Watanabe asked again, Jim Sandu had already asked the price, you guys still dare to pretend to be stupid?
Jin Muchen gave Junichi Watanabe a look, he was very satisfied with his performance just now, seeing Jin Muchen's eyes, Junichi Watanabe didn't have pain in his waist, his legs were not lame, and his body bones were strong.
Yo Xi, if the American dad is satisfied, I will be satisfied!
And the North Koreans standing over there were already completely dumbfounded at this time, he really didn't want to sell this thing, this thing was a North Korean national treasure, how could he not know?
And most importantly, this thing ...... He...... Damn, they're not coming from the right place!
If he is bought by this guy in front of him, how can he explain to domestic customers when he turns around?
Grass, I knew it would be like this, so I didn't bring this thing, hey, it's really unlucky.
At this time, the North Korean stall owner even regretted his intestines, if there was only Jin Muchen, he could have thrown his hands and refused Jin Muchen's request.
What are you kidding, an invincible American, don't say you want to buy this thing, even if you don't see it, what can you do?
But it's not just this damn American in front of him, there's also a Japanese, and the most important thing is that this Japanese is actually a damn member of Yakuza, and looking at the appearance of this guy, the origin must be not small.
If it was before, they were not afraid of these Japanese Yakuza, but now it is different, and now those damn police in Japan don't care about the life or death of our Korean gang.
In addition, in recent years, Japan's right-wing forces have risen sharply, and these Yakuza people in Japan are even more brutal when facing foreigners, especially in the face of the Korean gangs, so in recent years, the Korean gangs that have always been arrogant in Japan have chosen to be people with their tails between their legs, and try not to conflict with Japan's Yakuza.
But now that I'm forced to come to the door, I can't agree, and I can't do it if I don't agree, so what should I do?
"Baga, what about you, how much does it cost?"
Jun Watanabe couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that the other party was silent, and he yelled even more.
The look on the North Korean man's face was even more embarrassed, the current scene couldn't allow him to say a word, and if he chose to resist, the one waiting for him would be a dead end, even if he wanted to run, he couldn't run away, so he gritted his teeth and admitted it.
"Gentlemen, these two Buddha statues, 100 million yen each."
100 million yen, this offer is not low, and this is definitely an offer that should not appear here, you must know that the broken copper and iron, or cups, dishes and dishes in the stalls on the side, most of them are tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of yen quotations, you two Buddha statues, one dare to bite 100 million yen, you guy, is it possible that you want to go crazy thinking about money?
And Junichi Watanabe was also stunned when he heard this offer, 100 million yen, could it be that these two Buddha statues are really some treasures?
To be honest, when Jin Muchen saw these two Buddha statues before, Watanabe didn't have any special reaction, although their family was born in the antique business, and he also learned some knowledge about antiques.
However, he specializes in antique porcelain and calligraphy and painting, and he does not know much about this kind of bronze ware, especially this kind of Buddha statue, which he has never dabbled in at all.
So originally he thought that this thing was just a small thing for some years, not worth a few dollars, these two Buddha statues, he didn't plan to let Jin Muchen pay, as long as the North Korean's offer was not too outrageous, he planned to pay out of his own pocket and buy this thing as a gift for Jin Muchen.
But this guy actually opened his mouth to ask for 200 million, which surprised him at the same time, his brain also began to turn, could it be that these two Buddha statues are really good things?
Looking at the reluctance of the guy before, he felt that these two Buddha statues must have some origins.
But what, this thing, he doesn't like it anyway, and he doesn't understand it, since Mr. Jim likes it, then give it to him, but is it an offer of 200 million yen?
Hehe, you damn Korean Yankee, could it be that you have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dare to ask Lao Tzu for such a price?
"Baga, your conscience is greatly broken, and you dare to ask for such a price for these two pieces of broken copper and iron, is it possible that you don't know the rules here? You are offering such a random price, completely trying to ruin the image of our big Japanese antique market, right? Well, I'll give you 5 million yen for these two things. ”
Although I'm not sure how precious these two things are, but bidding 200 million yen, such an unjust head, Watanabe Junichi will definitely not do it.
What's more, this thing is North Korean, hehe, what can you do if you buy and sell it? You're a pretty girl, no matter what you say, anyway, this thing will have a fixed price, if you don't agree, hehe, I promise you won't even get the five million yen!
Watanabe's face was hideous, and the North Korean stall owner over there was already about to cry! (To be continued.) )
