Chapter 158 [Red Coral Buddha Statue]

Lin Nan came out of the alley, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and he took it out and saw that it was Du Qiao calling. After all, he hadn't been in contact with Du Qiao for almost half a month, and thinking of this, Lin Nan was really a little itchy in his heart.

Picking up the phone, Du Qiao's displeased voice suddenly came, asking Lin Nan where he had died recently and why he didn't come to see him. Lin Nan quickly found an excuse to prevaricate, and said a few good words, Du Qiao's tone eased up, and then asked Lin Nan if he had any classes, Lin Nan told her no, Du Qiao asked him to wait for him at the gate of Panjiayuan, and wanted to visit the first antique market in Beijing with him.

Lin Nan agreed, put down the phone, and took a taxi to Panjiayuan.

The Ma Youdu card in his hand has not been used for a long time, although it is not easy to pick up leaks in Panjiayuan, but Lin Nan still wants to try his luck, maybe he has good luck.

When he came to the door of Panjiayuan, Lin Nan saw Du Qiao in a white dress standing there from a distance, and it looked like he had been waiting for a while.

As soon as he saw Lin Nan get out of the car, Du Qiao immediately greeted him, shook his bag and patted Lin Nan's buttocks: "Why is it so slow." ”

"I can't help it." Lin Nan smiled bitterly: "You don't know the traffic in the capital, it's called a block." ”

"Then you won't fly." Du Qiao chuckled, and then pointed to the crowded Panjiayuan thrift market in front of him: "Let's go, let's go shopping." ”

"Okay." Lin Nan nodded, and the two walked side by side towards the market.

Compared with the antique market on Dongguan Street in Ninghai, this Panjiayuan site is much larger. There are also many people who set up stalls and pick up leaks, and there are basically people in front of no stalls, and the liveliness is better than that of ordinary farmers' markets.

Lin Nan and Du Qiao, who activated the Ma Youdu card, wandered aimlessly, although their eyesight was extraordinary at this time, but Lin Nan still didn't see anything valuable, after all, most of the people who set up stalls in this Pan Jiayuan were experts, and they were not so easy to fool.

And so it went all the way to the end of the market. Only Du Qiao picked up a few things and showed them to Lin Nan, but they were all rejected by Lin Nan, because they were all imitations without exception.

"It seems that there are no good things in this Pan family." Du Qiao said disappointedly. Lin Nan couldn't help but look at her with a smile and said, "It's not an overnight thing to pick up this thing, you have to come often." You've just been here once, and if you can catch something good, that's weird. ”

"Alas...... Also. Ducho said as he headed for the gate. At this time, a blood-red thing suddenly attracted Lin Nan's attention, causing him to stop abruptly and grab Du Qiao.

"Huh?" Du Qiao looked at her strangely.

"Wait." Lin Nan whispered, then came to a stall next to him, and quietly picked up a red Buddha statue.

"Red coral, if you want to buy it, you can buy it for 5,000. Don't move if you don't buy it. An old man in his early sixties sitting there squinted.

"Should it cost 5,000 for this?" An old man who happened to pass by Lin Nan who was almost seventy miles away laughed: "I said child, don't be deceived, this player is also an organic plastic, if it is really red coral, let alone five thousand." Even five million have to be robbed. ”

"Hey ......" At this time, another long-bearded old man next to the old man continued: "Lao Li, if you don't say that I forgot, shouldn't this game be the one that was identified by the experts on the treasure hunting column last time, this old boy said that it was red coral, and the estimated value was 500,000, but the experts gave it a bite." said that if it was really red coral, I was afraid it would be worth tens of millions, but the old boy took the things away in a gray way. ”

"I said you two." The stall owner heard the conversation between the two and suddenly stood up: "Do you understand the rules in our garden?" ”…,

"Forget it, Lao Li, don't delay people doing business." The two of them spoke and walked away quickly.

Here, Du Qiao whispered in Lin Nan's ear: "Lin Nan, even the treasure hunting experts say it's fake, I think it's better to go." ”

"Look again." Lin Nan said, and looked at the Buddha statue in his hand carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.

"Boy, do you want to buy it or not?" The stall owner didn't seem to be in a good mood because of what had just happened, and he spoke very impulsively.

"1000, I want it." Lin Nan frowned and said.

"Don't buy, don't sell." The stall owner waved his hand: "Damn, Lao Tzu collected 15,000 yuan, and he will sell it for 1,000, so it's better to keep it for himself." ”

"One imitation, a thousand still not sold." Du Qiao muttered in a low voice, and looked at Lin Nan again: "Lin Nan, this thing is worth a thousand?" ”

"It's not worth it." Lin Nan said quietly: "But the imitation is quite similar, and I really can't see it if I don't look carefully at it." ”

Hearing him say this, the stall owner felt that he really wanted to buy it, his face softened slightly, and he looked at Lin Nandao: "I said little brother, I won't tell you, I have picked up leaks all my life, and this time I made a mistake and spent a lot of money to collect a fake." But this thing is as you said, it's quite similar, to be honest, it's still good to put a big head at home, or else, 3500, what do you think? ”

"3500......" Lin Nan thought for a moment and frowned: "It's a little more expensive." ”

"That's 3,000, no more." The stall owner is categorical.

"Okay, since this uncle is so happy, I'm not a grinder." Lin Nan looked at Du Qiao as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Aunt Du, you brought cash, and I don't have enough money in my pocket." ”

"Brought it." Du Qiao said and counted out three thousand yuan from his bag, held it in his hand, and looked at Lin Nandao again: "Lin Nan, do you really want to buy this thing?" ”

"Well, it's a joke." Lin Nan said with a grin, then took the money, handed it to the stall owner and said, "Uncle, you count." ”

"No need, I see your aunt has counted them all." The stall owner took the money and put it in his arms, then sighed and said, "Alas...... Grandma's, this thing is sold, and it can be regarded as a solution to my heart disease. ”

"Hehe......" Lin Nan smiled, solemnly took the Buddha statue in his hand into his arms, glanced at Du Qiao and said, "Aunt Du." Let's go. ”

"Hmm."

The two of them went all the way out of Pan's home, and seeing that the people around them were far away from them, Lin Nan whispered to Du Qiao: "Aunt Du, we have made a fortune this time." ”

"Huh? How? Du Qiao looked at her strangely.

"Do you know what this is?" Lin Nan patted the Buddha statue in his arms and looked at her.

"Isn't it just a fake red coral?" Ducho asked, looking at him.

"No, you're wrong." Lin Nan shook his head: "This thing is not fake, but real." ”

"What!?" Du Qiao was taken aback: "You say this thing is real red coral?" ”

"Well, it's a fake." Lin Nan nodded solemnly.

"Oh my God!" Du Qiao took a long breath: "What kind of treasure hunt did those experts say it was fake?" ”

"Huh." Lin Nan sneered: "Then it can only mean that those experts are two hundred and five." ”

"Won't you?" Du Qiao looked at him in disbelief: "If this thing is really red coral." How could it casually land on a stall? ”

"Alas......" Lin Nan sighed: "It is precisely because this thing fell on the stall that it deceived everyone, and many connoisseurs may not even look at it." Because they don't believe it's real at all. ”

"For what?" Du Qiao Yiqi.

"Because it's so precious." Lin Nan took a deep breath and said.

"That's right." Du Qiao nodded: "I remember that when Baide Spring was auctioned, a small teapot carved from red coral was auctioned for a sky-high price of 17 million. ”…,

"The one you said was used by the Qianlong Emperor. The price is naturally a bit higher. Lin Nan said, and looked at the Buddha statue in his arms again: "And I, looking at the date, should be from the early Qing Dynasty, about the early years of Kangxi, I'm afraid the value is not so high, but there is no problem with millions." ”

"Hundred...... Ten thousand? Ducho gasped.

"Then I'm just a conservative estimate." Lin Nan couldn't hide his excitement and continued: "Nowadays, the cheapest red coral on the market costs 80 yuan a gram, and the slightly better quality costs 1,000 to 151 grams. The one in my hand is in average condition. But it's also worth about 1,000 yuan a gram, and I estimate that this thing weighs at least about three kilograms, plus the value of its own cultural relics, as long as it can be auctioned, millions will definitely be no problem. ”

"Oh my God. Aren't you picking up a big leak? Ducho looked at him in amazement.

"I didn't expect such a big pie to fall on my head." Lin Nan said this and looked at Du Qiao with a smile: "Aunt Du, this big pie belongs to the two of us, if you hadn't come to me today, I wouldn't have been able to pick up this leak, you are really my lucky star." ”

"Hehe, that's," Du Qiao was also very happy, "but your eyes are really average." There are so many people coming and going, and they don't even see it. ”

"It's not that they can't see it." Lin Nan sighed when he said this: "Maybe this red coral has produced a lot of white film-like materials similar to plastic on the surface due to too long, and people didn't expect such a big value to be on the stall at all, so they ignored it." ”

"Whatever you say, it's in our hands now anyway." Du Qiao said excitedly: "I remember that there should be a shooting next month, and it should be too late to sign up now." ”

"Well, I'll get ready when I get back." Lin Nan said, looked at Du Qiao again and said, "By the way, Sister Qiao, I remember that you seem to know how to drive, right?" ”

"Well, what's wrong."

"Not much." Lin Nan smiled: "I just want you to be my driver in the future." ”

"Huh?" Du Qiao was stunned: "You bought a car?" ”

Lin Nan shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Du Qiao was stunned: "Then what kind of driver should you be?" ”

"I'm not going to buy it in the afternoon." Lin Nan said with a smile, looked at Du Qiao and said, "By the way, your driver's license is fine, right?" ”

"No problem, I've been checking it." Du Qiao smiled excitedly: "It's just that I haven't touched a car for a long time, and I really want to." ”

"Don't worry, you'll find it soon." Lin Nan squinted his eyes and smiled at her, Du Qiao's face flushed for no reason, and he patted her and said, "Little color embryo, no big or small." ”

"Hehe...... Lin Nan said and stretched out his hand to stop the car, hugged Du Qiao and said, "Let's go, let's go back to your house first, put the things there, and then go to see the car in the afternoon." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
