It was a strange bronze vessel with a human face, elephant ears, bird wings, and a dog's body, about 60 centimeters in height, covered with green rust, and not a small age.

The bronze was strange and of a variety I'd never seen before, but it wasn't the thing that shocked me the most.

What surprised me was that after the red cloth was lifted, the yin qi that really belonged to this bronze vessel was not as good as just now.

Especially when Lao Xu put that piece of red cloth aside, the main source of yin qi also shifted with that piece of red cloth.

As a result, there was a rather strange scene in the office, Wang Guofeng and the other four people all carefully studied the bronze artifact, but I was the only one who fell on the red cloth.

During this period, I vaguely heard them talking about what tomb beasts they were, which dynasty they belonged to, how much they were worth, and so on, but I didn't listen carefully, but reached out and picked up the red cloth, and looked at it carefully.

As soon as the red cloth was in my hands, it gave me a strange feeling, how to say, I am a living dead, I already carry yin energy in my body, when I grabbed this red cloth, the red cloth seemed to come to life, sticking to my hand, greedily sucking the yin energy on my body.

I was taken aback, and hurriedly threw the red cloth back on the table, and my action attracted the attention of all three of them.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong with you?" Wang Guofeng asked curiously.

I waved my hand and said it was nothing, at this time, Lao Xu turned his head with an ugly face and asked, "Mr. Wang, is this the treasure you just received this afternoon?" ”

"Oh, no, this is what Dayong picked up from the black market in the field some time ago, and said that it was a tomb beast in the Warring States Period, and it cost more than 500,000 yuan." Wang Guofeng looked at Lao Xu's expression and also felt that something was wrong.

"Lao Xu, do you see something? What happened, is this thing real or fake? ”

"Needless to say, it must be true, I said Guofeng, you are really true." Qian Dayong stretched out his hand and put his arm on Wang Guofeng's shoulder, and said with a grin.

"Didn't I tell you, I specifically asked an expert to identify it before I came, this is the real thing, it can't be fake, Lao Xu, say it quickly, this is the real thing, right?"

Facing the inquiry, Lao Xu sighed and said, "Mr. Qian, this thing you brought is indeed an ancient bronze tomb beast. ”

"Look at it, I'll just say, this is the bronze tomb beast of the Warring States Period!" Qian Dayong laughed steadily.

Lao Xu immediately added: "But Mr. Qian, this is not from the Warring States Period, it is imitated from the Ming and Qing dynasties, imitating the bronze tomb beast." ”

Swish!

The smile on Qian Dayong's face stopped abruptly, his lips moved, and he was surprised: "What? Counterfeited in the Ming and Qing dynasties? ”

"Are you kidding, Lao Xu, take a closer look at the green rust on it, I have found an expert to identify it, and the certificate is still here! How could it be a fake! Qian Dayong threw out the certificate.

Lao Xu looked at it, perhaps for the sake of face, and pretended to check it again, and then, it was the same conclusion, this is an imitation bronze tomb beast in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

When you meet your favorite buyer, you may be worth a few dollars, but more than 500,000 yuan must have been cheated.

As for the certificate issued by the so-called expert, anyone who has been involved in the antique industry knows that it is useless, you spend some money, and the appraisal certificate of Hebi can get you a copy.

Wang Guofeng patted Qian Dayong's shoulder and said: "Dayong, you said that you are true, I haven't told you everything, the water in this line is very deep, don't step in easily, it's easy to suffer a big loss." ”

Qian Dayong's face was still full of unwillingness, and he asked again: "Lao Xu, are you sure you have read it carefully?" Nothing wrong? Why don't you check again? ”

Lao Xu smiled: "Mr. Qian, I have been in this industry for so many years, ordinary treasures, I can distinguish the authenticity with just a pair of naked eyes." ”

"This bronze tomb beast you brought, I have carefully checked it in all directions, and it is undoubtedly an imitation, if you still don't believe it, then I have nothing to do, I can only ask you to go out and turn right, and find another master!"

Lao Xu's tone became no longer respectful, and even a little sharp, it could be seen that he was full of confidence in his own profession and could not tolerate the slightest doubt from others.

Wang Guofeng also stood up at the right time and said: "Dayong, Lao Xu has been immersed in this industry for many years, and he knows this better than you and me. ”

"That's it, although this thing of yours is an imitation, but how to say that it is also from the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is worth a few dollars, I will pay 150,000 yuan to collect it, and it will also reduce your losses, what do you think?"

Afterwards, I learned that originally, Qian Dayong planned to sell this tomb beast to Wang Guofeng for a price of 4.5 million.

As a result, after this appraisal, the price was directly reduced from 4.5 million to 150,000, which was lower than the purchase price, and Qian Dayong was extremely depressed.

But now, this is also the best way to stop the loss, and he didn't refuse again.

However, just when the two parties agreed and were ready to make a payment to pay the bill, I stopped Wang Guofeng: "Don't be in a hurry to pay first, there is a problem with this thing." ”

"Mr. Chen, you also understand this?" Wang Guofeng exclaimed.

I shook my head: "I don't understand, but I can tell that this thing is not clean." ”

"Not clean?" Wang Guofeng frowned: "What do you say?" ”

I didn't answer Wang Guofeng's question directly, but asked, "If you take it, where are you going to put it?" ”

Wang Guofeng said: "Get a glass cover and put it in the store, or put it in the basement, see where there is an auction in the recent period, and take it to auction." ”

"It's hard to shoot, is it?" I said.

"It's hard to say, this line of work mainly pays attention to an eye, someone takes a fancy to it, and if it is fast, if no one takes a fancy to it, it may not be able to sell a thing for more than ten years."

"Isn't there a saying to describe my industry, it's called not opening for three years, and eating for three years."

"If you can't guarantee a short shot, it's better not to accept it." I said.

"Why?" The person who asked me this time was not Wang Guofeng, but Qian Dayong.

I stared into the eyes of the tomb beast, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's not talk about it, for fear of scaring you, you take this red cloth and send it back from where it came from." ”

Seeing that I refused to say, Qian Dayong was a little annoyed: "Mr. Chen, you are boring, I came here to sell things, you don't let me sell, and you refuse to say the reason, what kind of dumb riddle do you play with me?" ”

Qian Zhihao on the side also echoed: "That is, you said it yourself, you don't understand this, so what nonsense are you talking about?" Hurry up and go to the side, my dad is doing business with Uncle Wang, it's none of your business here! ”

As he spoke, Qian Zhihao came up and was about to make a move, I turned to the side, and after dodging away, I looked at Qian Dayong and said lightly: "Do you really want to listen to the reason?" I'm afraid that after I say it, you won't dare to bring this thing back. ”

"You say! There's really nothing I dare to do! He said.

I didn't look back, kicked the ankle of Qian Zhihao, who tried to do something to me, he fell down with a groan, and at the same time, I raised my chin and pointed at the town tomb beast and said: "Inside this thing, there are several ghosts locked up, all of them have lived for hundreds of years, and they are very fierce." ”

"Look, there's a ghost staring at you."
