Chapter 557: Shabby Gift
"How can I come to celebrate Mr. Bafaya's birthday empty-handed?" Yu Fei said: "Not only have I prepared a gift, but it is also a gift that is not inferior to this precious thangka for Mr. Bafaya!" ā
It was not Yu Fei's original intention to display the scepter in public, after all, the quality of the scepter was so poor that if it was taken out, it would probably attract the ridicule of everyone.
But since he was forced to take it out, it was better to be generous than to twist and pinch and hide it. Therefore, Yu Fei tried his best to exaggerate the value of the scepter, and even compared it with the first thangka work of Tubo Zampu.
Of course, he especially emphasized that for Mr. Bafaya! Because for ordinary people, this tattered and broken copper stick like a dog-beating stick naturally cannot be compared with the world's first thangka!
Not only that, but even for Mr. Bafaya, how meaningful this scepter is, Yu Fei has no bottom in his heart! Anyway, with his family's ornaments, you cherish it, or not, in short, you can get it.
Although Yu Fei wanted to borrow the Chinese collection from Mr. Bafaya for exhibition, this need was not urgent, so he couldn't whisper to please and beg Bafaya. The performance is naturally equal and simple. This was something that no one expected.
As soon as they heard that the value of this collection could be compared to that of the first thangka, everyone's faces couldn't help but show suspicion!
The value of the first thangka is far higher than that of the thangka that Samshe Rinpoche brought to the living Buddha Dalai and consecrated by himself, so doesn't that mean that the value of Yu Fei's gift is also far above it?
If you hadn't seen Yu Fei's previous performance, everyone would definitely scoff at Fei's words. But now everyone is skeptical and a little curious, and they all want to know what kind of gift Yu Fei brought.
Yu Fei handed the gift box wrapped in the scepter in his hand to Bafaya with both hands, and said solemnly: "Dear Mr. Bafaya, I would like to wish you a happy birthday, health and longevity with this thin gift!" ā
"Thank you very much! You're so kind, my friend. Mr. Bafaya took it, and he also wanted to know what Yu Fei had brought him.
The bronze scepter was extremely heavy in his hand, and Mr. Bafaya was not mentally prepared, and when he took it, his hands sank and he almost fell off.
Yu Fei hurriedly held it and said, "Be careful, this gift is very valuable." ā
Mr. Bafaya thanked him again, and then said, "My dear Yu, can I open your gift to me now?" ā
Knowing that opening a gift in person is not a polite act in China, Buffaya asked Yu Fei for advice.
"Of course, it's yours now." Yu Fei nodded and said. There was still a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Why do you meet some nasty people everywhere you go?
Samshe Rinpoche's eyes showed a smile of triumph. This hateful Yu Fei, since he is reluctant to give away the first thangka, then you just wait to make a fool of yourself! He was resentful of what Fei had just done, but he was extremely well-cultivated, and he didn't show it obviously.
Bafaya carefully opened the paper on the outside of the box, revealing the antique rectangular gift box inside, which looked quite precious.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but let out a soft shout, obviously believing Fei's words a little more.
Samshe Rinpoche's smile also froze, could it be that this guy Yu Fei really prepared a precious gift? His self-confidence instantly shrank a lot.
Yu Fei smiled bitterly in his heart, this packaging box was specially selected by the store guys, probably to repay his generous tip of twenty euros.
The gift box was slowly opened by Mr. Bafaya, and when the bronze scepter slowly revealed its true face, the audience suddenly fell silent.
People looked at each other, and they all saw surprise and doubt in each other's eyes, so as to make sure that they were not mistaken, and they were not hallucinating!
After a while, the scene suddenly became lively.
"Am I not mistaken? What is that? A stick? One guest couldn't help but say.
"Isn't it? It's a bit odd, but it's a stick," the other chimed in, "and it's copper." ā
Most of the people invited to the banquet are fond of collecting, so their eyes are more vicious.
"It's supposed to be an antique." Thatch said cautiously, "However, in terms of its value......
Thatch shook his head, which naturally meant that this copper stick would probably not be of much value even if it was left for a few hundred years.
Even if Samshe Rinpoche had a good cultivation, he couldn't help but smile victoriously at this time.
Look, what kind of gift did this hateful Yu Fei give, it turned out to be a copper stick with no merit, and he really dared to take it?! Such a gift, not to the honorable Mr. Bafaya, is probably to the beggar by the roadside - oh, it has some effect on the beggar, at least it can be used to beat the dog.
"It's the most expensive gift I've ever seen." Samshe Rinpoche said. He bit the word "most precious" very hard, and the mockery in his tone was something that even a fool could hear.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Yu Fei again, wondering where his conclusion of "talking about the first thangka" just came from, is it just the age of time?
Not to mention the others, even Bafaya is a little confused!
As a world-renowned collector, Bafaya has a wide range of visions, but he doesn't see what attracts him about this bronze stick.
Facing everyone's doubts, Yu Fei was not in a hurry at all.
"Mr. Bafaya, do you feel any familiarity with this precious scepter?" Yu Fei said seductively.
"Familiar?" There was a puzzled look on Baffaya's face. There is no such copper stick in his memory, is there? Could it be that it was a toy from when I was a child? That's impossible!
After a long time of silence, Mr. Bafaya shook his head slowly.
Now the whole hall exploded!
"Liar, this is a naked deception! What value can be compared to the precious thangka, but I didn't expect that it was just a broken copper stick, and there was nothing to be desired at all! Someone said.
"That's right, I don't know where I picked it up!" Someone else said.
"Just looking at the packaging, I really thought it was some kind of tall gift! Oh my God, I just almost wondered what was wrong with my eyes! ā
"Lord, tell me what the hell is going on!"
ā¦ā¦
The tone of the crowd was snarky, obviously they felt that they had been fooled by Yu Fei, so they were very dissatisfied.
"Venerable Mr. Bafaya, you may wonder why I would give you such a gift." Yu Fei's voice was very flat, but it overpowered the buzzing in the hall, and the crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone wanted to know what else Yu Fei had to explain.
Bafaya also nodded and said, "Dear Yu, I was about to ask for advice!" ā
Although he was puzzled, Bafaya's tone remained unhurried and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Yu Fei smiled slightly, picked up the scepter in the gift box with both hands, and showed the bottom in front of Bafaya.
When the three crescent moon patterns at the bottom of the scepter were clearly revealed in front of Bafaya, Bafaya, who had always been very calm, finally couldn't calm down anymore.
This is also in anticipation of flying. Just now, he also noticed that there was also a "March" logo on Bafaya's dress, and it was the same as the pattern on the copper stick! This shows that the scepter is indeed related to Buffaya, and that Buffaya cherishes it, otherwise he would not have carried this symbol on every outfit of clothing.
Bafaya's breathing suddenly became rapid, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face!
Even Thatch, who approached him, could notice that his hands were trembling slightly.
"Yu ......" Mr. Bafaya spoke, and everyone found that Mr. Bafaya not only had trembling hands, but also his voice was trembling!
Is it scared? Or excited? This no longer needs to be explained.
"It'sā" Bafaya was eager to get confirmation from Yu Fei's mouth.
Yu Fei didn't know the origin of the scepter at all, but he couldn't admit it, so he could only say vaguely: "It took me a lot of time to find him by chance, and I think there is no more suitable gift than it." ā
Suddenly, Mr. Bafaya said "I'm sorry" to the crowd, and then left the hall in a hurry, without even explaining why.
Everyone was stunned at this moment! I don't know why Mr. Bafaya is so out of shape. rs
