"The auction price was 4.8 million, and it was in the news at the time."

"There were four bidders present, three foreigners, and my friend was a Chinese."

"My friend thinks that the relics of domestic monks cannot be allowed to flow abroad, this is a blasphemy against Buddhism, how can those foreign devils know what Buddhism?"

"So he was under a lot of pressure at that time, so he auctioned this relic at a high price that exceeded the market price."

"But the good news is that the current market price of this relic is higher than the original auction price."

Baoyou knows everything about his friend, and even knows who he was bidding with at the time.

However, in the sound of Zhang Yang, it feels like the other party's words are not credible for a single punctuation mark.

What is the plot of bidding with three foreign merchants and not letting the loss of national treasures be lost, it is obvious that I have watched too many TV series.

As for the current market price of this relic, it has exceeded the auction price of 4.8 million, which is even more nonsense.

Zhang Yang had just seen it when he was at Christie's in Xiangjiang before, and it was still a relic of the Qing Dynasty, which was about the same size as this one, and it only cost 450,000 yuan.

As an appraiser, he felt that he needed to explain it, otherwise it would be misunderstood that Master Zhang acquiesced to Baoyou's statement, which would be bad.

"Baoyou, how can you be sure that this relic must have been obtained by a domestic monk after being cremated?"

"It can't be from abroad?"

"At that time, it was explained at the time of the auction that it was XX Temple from Huaxia." Baoyou explained.

"In this case, does the temple issue a certificate for you?"

Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and motioned for Baoyou to take out the certificate if he had it.

This is a relic, which monk dares to risk his life to steal it and sell it, you must leave some evidence.

Otherwise, there is no basis for the words, and other people's temples will not admit it, and when an announcement is issued, the relics of Baoyou will be smashed directly in his hands.

"Certificate...... I can't get a certificate for this. Baoyou shook his head and asked Zhang Yang, "Teacher, can't you see that this is a relic?" ”

Zhang Yang shook his head: "This kind of white bone relics are almost the same, I really can't see it." ”

"That's not right, this is the relics of the high monks, and they have the light of the Buddha."

Baoyou had an extremely pious expression on his face, and his hands were folded, as if he had entered the time of a sage.

"Teacher, if your heart is not clean, you can't see the Buddha's light?"

"You're just a rumor, I'm very pure." Zhang Yang retorted.

"Did you see the Buddha's light?" Baoyou asked.

This question is a bit like the emperor's new clothes.

If you don't have a clean heart, you can't see it, why don't you say that you can't see it if you don't spend 4.8 million?

Zhang Yang was a little speechless and said:

"There is really no Buddha light, you can lie to yourself, but don't fool so many people around you."

"Yes, yes, how can there be Buddha light?" There is a collector on the side who echoed the road.

"Don't lie to buddy, dude is really not blind."

"Fortunately, the expert said it in advance, otherwise I would have suspected that I had a problem with my eyes."

"Brother, you can't make up your story......"

“……”

"You people, ignorance!" Baoyou sneered, reached out and closed the box containing the relics, looked at Zhang Yang and said, "I originally wanted to give you people a long experience, but I didn't expect you to even deserve this." ”

"Finally, I would like to give you a word to the experts, people, you can't be without awe."

"Wait, don't be in a hurry, I'll send you a word too." Zhang Yang called Baoyou and told him, "Leave a contact information." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Just because your relics have been newly burned in the past twenty years, we will contact the temple you mentioned afterwards to confirm it. If not, then there is something wrong with your relic. ”

"What's the problem?"

"It may be suspected of insulting the corpse, and it may also be linked to the falsification of cultural relics."

Zhang Yang also suddenly remembered that there was actually a time when someone really burned relics.

Some are burned with chicken bones or pig bones, but more often are burned with the same kind of bones.

The latter is more realistic, except that there is no reliable origin, the shape and color are almost exactly the same as the Buddhist relics.

Baoyou's current situation is a bit like ah.

"And what if I don't leave the phone?" Baoyou said hardly.

"It's okay if you don't stay, there's surveillance, there's something wrong, the police will look for you." Zhang Yang smiled.

"Come on, come on, smile at that place, and when the time comes to look for you, I'll print this picture into a photo for comparison."

Baoyou was just about to look up and glance at the direction of the camera, and when he heard Zhang Yang's words, he immediately lowered his head.

At this time, I didn't care about any Buddhist etiquette, so I put the box containing the relics in my coat pocket, and hurriedly walked out with my head down.

Zhang Yang didn't stop it, there was no need.

Looking at the crowd of onlookers, he briefly hinted:

"Friends, the essence of relics is bone products, and everyone should pay attention to avoiding legal risks when collecting."

"In addition, although the anchor is an atheist, I fully respect everyone's beliefs, so when you come to testify, don't force me to believe some strange things you say."

Those religious believers who say that people's hearts are dirty at every turn are really not used to publicity.

……

"Teacher, let me first state that I, like you, also respect the beliefs of others, and this collection is just a simple collection, and there is no meaning of blasphemy."

The new treasure friend covered a long wooden box he brought, and folded the buff frantically, as if it contained something very rebellious.

"It's okay, I'm sure everyone can understand you." Zhang Yang smiled and said with relief.

The people around also said, "Yes, don't sell it, open it and take a look." ”

"Okay, teacher, please take a look."

Baoyou slowly opened the box, and Zhang Yang caught a glimpse of the gold in the box at a glance.

Take a closer look, good fellow.

It turned out to be a complete arm of a Buddha statue.

And it should have been ripped from a huge bronze gilt Buddha statue.

The length of this arm alone is more than 80 centimeters.

If the Buddha's hand is close to one meter long, the original Buddha statue itself, plus the lotus platform on which it sits, should be one meter six or one meter seven in height.

A life-size bronze gilt Buddha statue?

Zhang Yang hurriedly looked at the more detailed information of this Buddha's hand.

The casting time can be traced back to the Yongle period in the early Ming Dynasty, and the Buddha statue should be a seated Buddha of Shakyamuni.

It is very likely that it was originally enshrined in the temple and was forcibly broken.

"Where did you get this severed arm? Isn't there a corresponding Buddha body? ”

"No, no." Baoyou explained, "I received this Buddha hand from a retired teacher's house, and it is said that more than 60 years ago, during that big event, he removed it from the Buddha statue and secretly hid it. ”

"That's amazing." Zhang Yang sincerely admired, "In that era, he had the courage to do this, and he deserved to get rich later." ”

"How much did you spend on it?"

"It's inconvenient to reveal this, anyway, it's not cheaper than a complete Buddha statue of the Qing Dynasty." Baoyou pursed his lips and didn't plan to say his starting price.

But as soon as Zhang Yang heard it, he knew that he had missed it.

The small gilded Buddha statue in the Qing Dynasty was only tens of thousands of yuan.

Baoyou's performance is obviously because he is afraid that the price gap will be too big and cause unnecessary trouble afterwards, which is understandable.

"Then I'll give you the results. This is a typical early Ming Dynasty, Tibetan Buddhist cultural relic, which was originally supposed to be a gilded bronze statue of Shakyamuni Buddha. ”

"This Buddha's hand, the current market price, is at least above 200,000."

"Wow!" The surrounding collectors exclaimed.

One arm can be sold for 200,000 yuan, so if it is complete, why not run for millions?

"Thank you, teacher." Baoyou smiled, obviously in a good mood.

Zhang Yang reminded him a little, and the other party took the initiative to leave his contact information on the form of "Auction Information Pre-registration", indicating that he was also willing to sell things at the auction.

……

Just when everyone thought that this bronze gilt Buddha's hand was the lore of the miscellaneous group in the morning, the last treasure friend to be identified had a more powerful treasure.

He pulled out a pitch-black piece of metal, about the size of a normal tile.

The shape is also a bit like a tile, with a bit of arc as a whole.

On the front of the metal sheet, there are six lines of text engraved, Zhang Yang took a brief look, and it should be a seal script.

In addition, there are four small holes in the four corners of the metal sheet, which Baoyou said are used to fix it to the wood.

As for why it should be fixed on wood, because this is the edict issued by Qin Shi Huang when he unified weights and measures, and it needs to be announced to the world.

After listening to Baoyou's explanation, Zhang Yang asked him to quickly put things on the table, don't wait to fall.

If this is true, it is definitely a first-class cultural relic.

"Name: Bronze Edict of Qin Shi Huang"

"Material: Copper"

"Date of production: 221 B.C. (26th year of Qin Shi Huang)"

"Details: This is an edict issued by Qin Shi Huang to the world after the unification of the six kingdoms, written in Qin Xiaoseal, and the content is: [In the twenty-sixth year, the emperor annexed the world. The princes of Qian, the head of Da'an, were named emperors. It is the edict of the prime minister, the law, the law measured, then not one, the apologetic one is clear."

Sure enough, it's true.

The first time Zhang Yang saw this thing, he felt that it was a heirloom treasure.

Because it is a familiar pit, although it is copper, a black oxide film has been formed on the surface, which protects the text on this copper edict very well.

If it had been buried underground, it would have been too hard to see due to green rust.

"Baoyou, you are the real thing!"

Zhang Yang sighed in his heart, good things, he was moved.

"Look at the small seal engraved on it, just the rubbings of these words are the hearts of calligraphy lovers. Those who carved seals in the Han Dynasty learned the text engraving on it. ”

"Did you buy this one, or did you inherit it at home?"

"Of course I bought it."

Baoyou took out his mobile phone and showed Zhang Yang a photo, and at the same time made a "shhhhh

is so mysterious, it immediately arouses Zhang Yang's curiosity.

He hurried to look at the photograph shown by the other party, a photocopy of the contract for the sale of the lot.

Zhang Yang enlarged the column of the transaction amount, which is ......

Twenty-three million?!

Yes?

Big brother, you just took out more than 20 million things?

Zhang Yang suddenly regretted a little, he should have opened a "super VIP identification channel".

Specially set up for such a big guy, the appraisal charges 500,000 yuan at a time, and the certificate is included, presumably the other party should be willing.

But if you think about it carefully, you can actually bring it out for a show.

Not to mention so many policemen at the scene, the big guy is estimated to have some strength himself, otherwise he would not have been able to spend 20 million to buy such a piece.

"Thank you, big brother, for opening my eyes." Zhang Yang said very sincerely.

"Master Zhang, you are serious, in fact, I want to get to know you today."

"Here's my business card."

"Okay, we're already acquainted. But it's not convenient to talk about this now, so let's talk about it later. ”

Zhang Yang took the business card, didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to Xiao Tang.

This is still quite common in the treasure appraisal scene, and there are often art companies, or very confident treasure friends, to hand business cards to the appraisal experts.

In the final analysis, this is a private activity led by Zhang Yang, and it is not so formal.

All that should be said was said, and Zhang Yang signaled to Baoyou that he could put away this bronze edict, otherwise he was a little worried about the safety of this thing.

"Then let's talk later." A mysterious smile appeared on Baoyou's face.

……

At lunchtime, Zhang Yang looked at the business card of the big guy just now.

The CEO of a mining group, surnamed Qiao.

Zhang Yang searched and found that the other party's group started by mining lithium mines.

Now that new energy has taken off so much, no wonder he is so rich.

When the whole day of appraisal work was over, Zhang Yang hesitated whether to contact Mr. Qiao, but the other party took the initiative to call him.

"I saw Master Zhang's phone number on the official website of the event, and I took the liberty to contact him, forgive me."

Mr. Qiao's tone was very polite, and he explained very clearly, and he didn't forget to blow a wave of publicity at the end.

"When I saw Master Zhang during the day, I knew that the first treasure appreciation expert of Funny Sound is worthy of its name, and the cultural relics of various dynasties can be seen at a glance."

"Mr. Qiao is polite, I'm a treasure connoisseur anchor, it's not worth mentioning. However, with a big customer like you appreciating the face, the level of our activity has gone up all of a sudden. ”

Zhang Yang politely blew a wave with the other party's business.

Anyway, no one will take these words seriously, pure scene words.

"Hahaha......"

Suddenly there was a strange laugh on the other end of the line.

"Mr. Qiao, who are you?" Zhang Yang asked suspiciously.

He was echoed by the voice of a very familiar young man:

"I didn't expect it, Brother Yang, you are really not ashamed at all when you brag about it!"

"Chu Ziqiang?"

"Hey, hey, that's right, it's my little brother." Chu Ziqiang replied cheaply.

"Now you go to the window near this side of the street and look down."

"See what?"

Zhang Yang did so suspiciously, and saw two men greeting him down.

Among them, the young man with a mobile phone and a smiling sag, who else could it be if it wasn't Chu Ziqiang?

As for the other one, of course, it is Mr. Qiao.

"Damn, I'm still calling downstairs, wasting my phone bill." Zhang Yang closed the curtains tightly, "Come up by yourselves, room number 9304." ”

Five minutes later, Zhang Yang finally knew who Joe was always.

He is the person who succeeded Cheng Erye after Cheng Zongwen left.

It's just that the other party is wearing a brand-name suit, and the person looks like a dog, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with archaeology.

Zhang Yang asked tentatively: "This Mr. Qiao, you can join our archaeological team, maybe it's because of your money ability?" ”

"Of course not, the money is inherited by Old Joe." Chu Ziqiang was very familiar with helping to explain, "His ability, I will report his master's name and you will know." ”

"Who is Mr. Qiao's master?"

"I have two masters, one surnamed Ren and the other surnamed Yao." Mr. Qiao looked at Zhang Yang with a smile and said, "These two people, I think Master Zhang should know each other." ”
