Chapter 237: So Expensive? Impossible, right?
Ye Jianjian is really happy.
Zhu Yu did a few things, all of which were quite appetizing to him.
But there was one thing he felt needed to be confirmed.
So when Ye Shenghua and Zhu Yu went to visit him together, he pulled Zhu Yu aside and asked quietly:
"You didn't really sell those ancient books and bamboo slips, did you?"
Seeing Ye Jianshe ask, his eyes were full of concern, Zhu Yu originally planned to go over with the lake, but in the end he told the truth:
"It's still in my hands."
"That's good, that's good!" Ye Jianshe put down a big stone in his heart, and said with a smile:
"I knew you weren't that short-sighted."
Zhu Yu didn't explain, there was still a fate in this, and he didn't want to leave anything to say.
After untying the knot, Ye Jianshe was very happy, and asked his family to arrange wine and food, while asking:
"What do you have to do this time?"
"I've got some new old things, and I want someone to have them appraised."
"Do you want to make a move?" Ye Jianjian was interested.
"Yes." Zhu Yu thought about it and said, "It's not much use for me to keep these things in my hands." It's not a rare thing like the Bronze Man Tang Knife, so I'm still going to make a move. β
"That's good." Ye Jianshe said with a smile, "Now that the times are better, there are more rich people, and there are more people who have entered the collection industry." In the past, things were looking for people, but now, people are looking for things. β
Zhu Yu understood what Ye Jianjian meant.
It is said that gold in troubled times, a collection in prosperous times.
Now is the prosperous age, ordinary people pay attention to firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and the rich, especially some people who have money and leisure, keenly find that the price of antiques has been rising over the years.
Not only antiques, but also jade, jade, gemstones, etc., the price has also been rising.
What does it mean? It shows that there are more people who buy it.
Hot money is pouring into these areas, just like stocks, the more they rise, the more people buy.
The same goes for the collection line. Some people speculate and plan to make money, some people are collected as appreciation, and some people really like it, they didn't have money before, but now they have it, and they buy what they like.
Of course, there are also those who buy to decorate the faΓ§ade.
But there are so many antiques, and there are many more people who want to buy them than before, especially good things, and those who grab them want it, so it is naturally easy to chase after them.
Some people feel that the value has appreciated, and they really hold it in their hands, thinking that it can still rise.
So now it's a seller's market.
"What kind of treasure did you take out this time?" Ye Jianshe personally poured tea for Zhu Yu, and then handed the teapot to Ye Shenghua and motioned for him to pour it himself.
Ye Shenghua got used to it, took the teapot and said while pouring it for Ye Jianjian:
"Zhu Yu brought over a wooden Buddha statue this time, it seems to be some kind of Bodhisattva, the carving is very good, there is pulp, I think it is at least before the Qing Dynasty."
"Qing before, that's not bad." Ye Jianjian's words were a little perfunctory, and there was some disappointment in his tone.
Zhu Yu can understand.
Ye Jianjian's understanding of himself, from the Tang knife, to the acupuncture bronze figure, and then the bamboo slips and ancient books.
All of these things are national treasures.
So now a wooden Buddha statue from the early Qing Dynasty suddenly appears, which is really not enough to see.
"These things are relatively large." Zhu Yu explained.
"How many?" As soon as Ye Jianshe heard a lot, his mind turned.
Zhu Yu's main focus is foreign treasure hunting, which is a large amount, and it should not be collected by others.
So where did it come from......
There was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
Could it be that it is a pit?
Zhu Yu thought about it, these two can be kept secret, and then said:
"The origin, I found the ruins of a Buddhist temple and dug it out of the ground......"
"In the dungeon?" Ye Jianshe was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately asked.
"Won't it?" Ye Shenghua was also surprised.
He didn't know much about the dungeon.
But the most famous underground palace in China should be the one in Famen Temple in his opinion, right?
It's not an exaggeration to say that what comes out of there is a national treasure!
Zhu Yu knew that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly said:
"No, no, no. Not a dungeon, it should be said to be a cellar. β
He described the basement inside and outside, Ye Jianshe and Ye Shenghua looked at each other, and there was a sudden realization and a little loss.
If Zhu Yu really found the underground palace of the Buddhist temple, they also wanted to see the treasures inside!
"Okay, you bring things over tomorrow, and I'll ask an expert to identify them." Ye Jianshe took a sip of tea and said.
He was not very interested in the cultural relics related to Buddhism, so he did not continue to ask.
At this time, the meal was ready, and Ye Jianshe beckoned Zhu Yu to serve it.
Seeing that there were three kinds of wine on the table, Moutai, Wuliangye and Aged Flowers, Ye Shenghua said with a smile:
"Second uncle, you didn't prepare such a sumptuous meal when I came to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year!"
"If you kid get me a good baby like a Tang knife, you can pick and drink the wine I have here!"
Ye Shenghua was scolded back by this sentence.
The wine and food are very rich, and the two uncles and nephews of the Ye family are also very enthusiastic, but fortunately, Zhu Yu has increased his alcohol now, and in the end, he is full of wine and food, his eyes are still clear, and then he took a taxi back to the hotel.
Ye Shenghua, who originally planned to send it out, shook his head:
"The second child, this amount of alcohol has really increased a lot! Is it more training people abroad? β
Ye Jianshe shook his head slightly and didn't speak.
The next day, when Ye Shenghua went to the hotel to pick up Zhu Yu, he saw a big suitcase in his room, so he asked:
"Everything is in here?"
"Yes."
In fact, it is a part, and Zhu Yu still has more than half of it left in Space City.
In fact, there are too many things, and it's hard for him to put them all out.
So this time I took out a set of bronze Buddhist vessels, one tall and one short, two golden Buddhas, a box of Buddhist scriptures, and that wooden Buddha statue.
"Come, I'll help you carry it." Ye Shenghua stepped forward to carry the suitcase.
"No, you can't lift it." Zhu Yu hurriedly stopped.
Ye Shenghua is not a master who can listen to persuasion, he stretched out his hand and carried the box and planned to go out, and then he was embarrassed - he didn't mention it!
"Anyway, you can't lift it." Zhu Yu smiled.
In addition to books and wooden Buddha statues, the others are all heavy metals, this set is at least fifty or sixty kilograms, with Ye Shenghua's pampered master, how can it be mentioned?
Ye Shenghua almost twisted his waist, he was a little puzzled:
"What's in here? It can't be a stone, right? Why is it so heavy? β
Zhu Yu waved his hand:
"How can it be a stone? Bronze objects, Buddha statues and much more. By the way, there is also the fact that you are relatively weak, don't make excuses for yourself. β
After saying that, he went out with the box.
Ye Shenghua saw that Zhu Yu lifted the box so easily, and was a little suspicious:
"Could it be that you have been sitting too much during this time, so you are really empty? Shouldn't you, and you haven't sat down a few times, have you? β
thought in his heart, but he also quickly followed Zhu Yu.
If he really didn't mention that things were not as fast as Zhu Yu, he was afraid that he would really have to go to the andrology department.
When I arrived at Ye Jianjian's house, there were already two people there.
One was almost forty-seven or eighteen years old, chatting with Ye Jianjian, and the other young man, twenty-three or four-year-old, was a little restrained.
γ
"Mr. Zhu is here." There were outsiders present, Ye Jianshe was very polite, and stood up to greet him:
"Come, I'll introduce you, this is Zhao Jian, a master of gold and stone identification, who has more research on Buddha statues. Lao Zhao, this is the Zhu Yu I told you, mainly abroad, this time I found a lot of good things, please palm. β
In fact, the matter was said by both parties, but now that Zhao Jian and Zhu Yu met for the first time, Ye Jianshe naturally had to make it clear in person.
As for the appraisal fee, the market price, as I said before, depends on the appraisal.
"Mr. Zhu, hello." Obviously, this Zhao Jian also did his homework before he came, "I have seen the Tang Dao that built here, and I have also seen the acupuncture bronze man, I really didn't expect that the person who could get these two national treasures is so young, the word young and promising is for you!" β
So saying, he turned to the young man and said:
"Xiaojie, communicate more with Mr. Zhu, he is an example for you to learn!"
Then he said to Zhu Yu:
"This is my son Zhao Tianjie, bring me here today to see it."
Zhu Yu was a little speechless, isn't this pulling hatred for himself?
He could already see that there was a faint hostility in Zhao Tianjie's gaze when he looked at him.
"Okay, okay, let's not be polite. Let's look at things first, I'm already looking forward to it! Ye Jianshe could see that Zhu Yu was a little uninterested in Zhao Jian's words, so he interjected, "Is it in this big box?" β
"Yes." Zhu Yu put the box on the ground and was just about to open it, Ye Jianshe said with a smile:
"Let's put it on the coffee table. There was something indecent on the ground. β
"It's heavier." Zhu Yu explained.
"It's okay, my coffee table is made of stone."
Zhu Yu was as good as a stream, directly put the box on the coffee table, opened it, and then took out a set of Buddhist utensils first.
Zhao Jian had already put on white gloves, he first looked at it roughly, and said as he watched:
"This is a set of Buddhist ritual instruments, you see, there are bells, cymbals, chimes, wooden fish and other musical instruments, and bottles, bowls, rods and other holding objects."
A set of eight pieces, all made of bronze, is both a practical and a ceremonial vessel.
There is a green patina on it, but it is not very deep.
Zhu Yu guessed that this was related to the closed environment of the basement at that time. The closing effect of the vault in the back is not as good as the Buddha vessel, and the copper coins inside are broken.
After Zhao Jian finished introducing, he stopped talking, and picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully.
After looking at it for a while, Zhao Jian put it down and said:
"This set of Buddhist artifacts, at least before the Song Dynasty, should be able to trace back to the Five Dynasties period if you chase it carefully. In this era, it is really rare to see such a well-preserved and complete set of Buddhist vessels.
This set of Buddha vessels has the same fetal quality, the inscription is the same, the shape is exquisite and simple, and the quality is perfect! β
Ye Jianshe couldn't wait for so many words, interrupting his thoughts to continue:
"Lao Zhao, don't sell it. It's not for you to be on the show now, why do you say so many empty words? Let's just say directly, how much can this set of Buddhist artifacts be sold for? β
Zhao Jian smiled:
"I'm used to it."
Zhu Yu felt that Zhao Jian was a little familiar, and he should have seen it in a certain treasure appreciation show.
"The bronze Buddhist vessels of the Song Dynasty, if a single piece, are generally 350,000, and the good quality can reach 80,000. This set is rare, and doubling it is not a problem, so this set can be sold for almost 1.5 million to 2 million. β
Buddha is destined to be a person. This antique is also, if you come across an eye, there are two or three million.
That's why Zhao Jian gave such a big difference.
After all, the price is negotiated, and the market cannot be so dead.
Zhu Yu was a little surprised. This was beyond his psychological expectations.
After putting away the Buddha artifact, Zhu Yu took out another golden Buddha.
Zhao Jian glanced at it, and then got started.
"So heavy? Pure gold? He was a little surprised.
I thought it was a gilded Buddha statue, but I didn't expect it to be pure gold!
"This Buddha statue should be from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty." Zhao Nut is an expert, and he can see the age of the Buddha statue at a glance, "And it is pure gold, and it is very well preserved, so the price is not low!" β
"Huh?"
As he was talking, he suddenly saw very small characters on the Buddha statue!
"It's ...... Diamond Sutra? Zhao Jian's eyes widened!
"Yes." The reason why Zhu Yu took out this Buddha statue was because it had a slightly withered Diamond Sutra on its body.
If it's just gold, it's not unusual, but if you add the Diamond Sutra, it's really unusual!
"This Buddha statue alone weighs almost ten kilograms." Zhao Jian slowly and carefully placed the Buddha statue on the table. Stabilized, put his hand away, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"Coupled with the fact that it is so well preserved and the Diamond Sutra above, if it is estimated, it will be at least more than 10 million!"
This price did not surprise Zhu Yu.
After all, that Diamond Sutra will definitely add a lot of points.
So Zhao Jian quoted the price, he just smiled and nodded.
It seems that those Buddhist temples in Mongolia have a very promising future!
Next, Zhu Yu took out the little golden Buddha again.
This golden Buddha does not look obvious in its features, but it is a reclining Buddha with a thousand hands Guanyin.
It was the first time Zhu Yu had seen the horizontal Guanyin statue, so he took it out.
Zhao Jian also said that such Buddha statues are rare, and gave a price of five million.
Finally, there is the wooden Buddha statue.
As soon as this Buddha statue was taken out, before Zhao Jian could get his hands on it, Ye Jianshe was stunned for a moment, snorted, and suddenly said:
"This is agarwood?"
"Agarwood?" Ye Shenghua said suspiciously, "Isn't it?" There's not a lot of incense, huh? I saw it yesterday and thought it was boxwood! β
Ye Jianshe is now repentant!
Such a large piece of agarwood withered Buddha statue, the value is gone!
I knew that I would ask more questions yesterday, or let Zhu Yu show this wooden Buddha statue to himself first, how good would it be!
Zhao Jian was also a little dumbfounded.
This thing is not well received!
If Ye Jianshe wasn't around, he might be able to get this thing away from Zhu Yu by giving a low price.
Zhao Jian could see that Zhu Yu really didn't care much about this Buddha statue.
casually took the cardboard box and wrapped it.
I don't pay attention to it at all!
Maybe he didn't know the material of this Buddha statue at all!
He smelled it, it was indeed agarwood!
It's not agarwood, it's agarwood!
The price of this thing is really sky-high!
Ye Jianshe sighed over there, Zhao Jian had already put on his gloves and carefully picked up this agarwood Buddha statue.
It's heavy to start with, and it's measured by the kilogram.
Of course, if you go by price, at least in billions!
Although Zhu Yu knew that this was agarwood material, he didn't know how expensive agarwood was.
In his eyes, it is nothing more than a relatively expensive spice.
How expensive can it be? It's worth more than gold, so it's dead, right?
Unexpectedly, I couldn't hold on!
