Chapter 764: Reputation Goes Out of the Town?
Guge silver-eyed Buddha statue and plateau blood jade Buddha beads, there are this kind of secret text on it, last time, Zhang Yi in the secret room in the Shengshi Forest of the Lin family in Beicheng, he also saw the elephant bone Buddha relics pagoda with ciphertext.
Connect these things.
It seems that these recently discovered ciphertexts are all related to some things in Buddhism.
Is this just a coincidence?
So, will the dragon seal ghost seal be related to Buddhism?
……
Thought about these.
Zhang Yi raised his eyes, looked at Tang Wenjie again, and asked.
"Expert Tang, I have seen these two things of yours, and there should be no problem. You're not lying, but the antique trade, as you know, all focus on an orderly inheritance. I don't know if you can tell me about the origin of these two antiques? ”
For this problem, Tang Wenjie seems to have been prepared for a long time.
"Mr. Zhang, look inside the box!"
Just now, Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen were both attracted by these two antiques, after all, whether it was the Guge Silver Eye or the Plateau Blood Jade Buddha Beads, they were all very dazzling, so the two of them, no one noticed, in fact, there were still some materials under the two boxes where the antiques were placed.
Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen took it out separately and looked at it.
Basically, there are some auction materials, and some information about private transfer contracts.
These two items, one of which is the silver-eyed Buddha statue of the late Guge Dynasty, have changed hands three times, auctioned twice, and been privately transferred once.
For the first time, because in the early nineties, when the Guge Silver Eye was not well known, this Buddha statue was only put up for auction as an ordinary Tibetan Buddha statue, and the final price was only 12,000 yuan.
However, 12,000 in the nineties was not less, after all, there were not many 10,000 households at that time.
Therefore, this also reflects the subtlety of this Guge silver-eyed Buddha statue from the side.
Late nineties.
The archaeological team entered the ancient city of Guge, and unearthed a bronze Buddha when the archaeological excavation of the Dukang Hall of the Piyang site of the Guge Dynasty, and finally unveiled the mystery of the "Guge Silver Eye" after some research and discussion.
And this incident immediately caused a great shock in the archaeological and antique circles at that time.
Guge culture has become a hot topic in the archaeological community.
In the antique world, Guge silver eyes are gradually becoming well-known, and naturally many fakes of Guge silver eye Buddha statues have gradually appeared.
All kinds of factors have contributed to the popularity of the real "Guge Silver Eye" in the antique market, but there are very few real "Guge Silver Eyes", for example, like Uncle Chen, a veteran who has been engaged in the antique industry for many years, can be said to have read countless treasures, but has never seen the real "Guge Silver Eye".
The second auction of this Guge silver eye was in the autumn of 10.
In fact, at this time, the recognition of Guge Silver Eye was already very high. Moreover, its transaction price has also doubled very terrifyingly, and after 12 auctions, it was finally sold at a price of 6.79 million.
This price, compared with the initial transaction price of 12,000, has increased hundreds of times this time.
Afterward.
In a year or five, the Guge Silver Eye underwent another private transfer.
The price is taken as a whole number, 10 million.
On the question of Guge Silver Eye, Zhang Yi asked.
"This Guge Silver Eye is indeed an antique with an orderly inheritance, but there is no record of the information you started on this information, I don't know how you got it, Expert Tang?"
Tang Wenjie was obviously stunned for a moment.
But.
His reaction was quick and he said immediately.
"This one...... I got it in exchange for a hot item at the time! ”
"Mr. Zhang, you should know that when it was about 18 years ago, Huanghuali was fried very hot, at that time, I had a Huanghuali Taishi chair in my hand at the end of the Qing Dynasty, I was very optimistic about the slightly out-of-the-way antiques like Guge Silver Eye, and at that time, Huanghuali had been fried to that height, so there was not much room for appreciation, so I took that Taishi chair and exchanged it for this Guge Silver Eye with others."
This kind of private exchange of treasures, sometimes, there will be bills to prove, and sometimes, there is only a verbal agreement, so there is no way to verify this aspect of the matter.
As long as you have the previous inheritance information, there is nothing wrong with this antique.
"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Huanghuali Taishi chair, such a precious material, the workmanship must not be bad, right? If that's the case, I'm afraid that your Huanghuali Taishi chair will be more than 10 million in eight years. I think that the price of 20 million is possible, how could you exchange the Taishi chair for such a relatively partial Buddha statue as Guge Silver Eye? ”
Zhang Yi asked.
"I think this Buddha statue is worth more than 20 million! Mr. Zhang, antiques for treasures, isn't it because they like each other's hands that they can be exchanged? Naturally, I like this Guge silver-eyed Buddha statue very much! ”
Tang Wenjie replied, naturally, if he walked within the routine.
"Then why don't you find someone else to sell this Buddha statue? You have been so depressed during this time, if you drop this Buddha statue, tens of millions of dollars will be enough for you to turn over......"
Before Zhang Yi finished speaking, Tang Wenjie frowned and said directly.
"It's a secret! Mr. Zhang! I...... I'm not willing to sell this Buddha statue now! I really like this thing in exchange for treasure! ”
When he said this, Zhang Yi stared at Tang Wenjie motionlessly.
Tang Wenjie was stared at a little behind his back.
Seeing that Zhang Yi didn't speak.
Tang Wenjie waved his hand again and said.
"Well, I'll admit, not for this reason! In fact...... Be...... Alas...... It's not because I'm a person who used to be notorious in the antique circle, and no one took anything from me at all! Now except for you, Mr. Zhang, those who have the ability to accept my things, people don't even want to see me, and those who can't accept it, even if they see me, they just want to pick up the cheap! Damn, last time I had a grandson, I wanted to take 100,000 yuan from my Guge Silver Eye, this is not taking advantage of the fire to rob, what is this? ”
"Actually, you can also give it a try in the market outside the city! Your reputation can't be stinking to the outside world, right? No matter how bad it is, you can go overseas, there are a lot of overseas people at those auctions, and the things in your hands are Guge Silver Eyes and Plateau Blood Jade Buddha Beads, they must be particularly interested! ”
Zhang Yi said this deliberately.
"Out-of-town...... The key is that I don't know anyone in the field, antiques, he is a circle, if you break through the circle to trade, the chance of being deceived is very high! Also, Mr. Zhang, you said overseas, it is even more needy, I, Tang Wenjie, have not studied for a few years, and there are very few people who go to other places, let alone overseas, to that place, I guess I don't even know about the east, west, north and south, I sell antiques, and they are sold, maybe I will count the money for others! ”
Tang Wenjie said this, Uncle Chen smiled, he said.
"Expert Tang, you are really good at joking, especially your last sentence, I think you should be described by others, right?"
