The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

Chapter 239 Is this a big profit?

Zhao Jian looked at the entire Buddha statue from beginning to end, with his body and back, and finally placed it on the table carefully and reluctantly.

Zhu Yu smiled and asked:
"How about it, Mr. Zhao, this Buddha statue..."

"It is indeed made of agarwood, and it is very well preserved." Zhao Jian took another look at the Buddha statue and came to a conclusion.

This is a standing bodhisattva, holding flowers in one hand and carrying a basket in the other, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, looking extremely dignified.

Although it is made of agarwood, which is no better than gold and copper, it is very well preserved, and its face is very clear and full, and it looks full of Buddha nature.

After Zhao Jian finished watching, Ye Jianshe picked up the Buddha statue and looked at it.

Looked and looked, a little reluctant to let go.

Ye Shenghua looked at the second uncle's movements and said with a smile:

"Uncle, if you really like it, why don't you buy it?"

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about?" Ye Jianshe glared at Ye Shenghua, "This Buddha statue wants to say 'please', do you understand?"

Then he put the Buddha statue down, shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry!"

Ye Shenghua froze for a moment, a little in disbelief:

"Second Uncle, are you joking? Can you afford this?"

"Did you know? Years ago, a Buddhist statue of agarwood was invited home by a layman. The statue was not as big as this one, and the quality of preservation was not as good as this one. How much did it cost?"

Ye Shenghua naturally shook his head not knowing.

"2.7 million." Ye Shenghua said a number.

"What? How is this possible?"

Zhu Yu was fine, Ye Shenghua almost bit his tongue when he heard this number!
How could it be so expensive?
"You don't believe me, do you? Ask Lao Zhao?"

"It's true." Zhao Jian nodded, and now he has returned to normal.

I have played with many antiques in my hands, and there are not many that I can't afford; and even fewer that I like but can't afford.This one is one of them.

A little bitter, but relieved immediately.

Looking at Zhu Yu, this young man's luck can be said to be very good.

Not to mention Tang Dao, the bronze acupuncture figure is shocking enough, and those bamboo slips have already caused a stir in the industry.

Now coupled with this priceless statue of agarwood Buddha, every time this young man appears, it is shocking!
Zhao Tianjie next to him didn't think much of Zhu Yu.

Isn't he just a young man who went abroad to dig for treasures?
At most it's just luck.

If he went out by himself, with the identification skills he learned from his father Zhao Jian, he might have found more treasures long ago!

After all, there are too many fakes in China and the competition is too fierce.

However, when he heard that the agarwood Buddha statue was worth hundreds of millions, Zhao Tianjie's eyes flashed with jealousy.

This is a young man who was well protected by his father, had no setbacks, and wanted everything.

Zhu Yu sensed Zhao Tianjie's emotions, but he didn't care.

He was also thinking, no wonder the Buddha statue was located in the center of the basement at that time, it seemed that the Buddhist temple also valued Chen Xiang very much.

Ye Shenghua felt the deepest!
Mom!A Buddha statue worth more than [-] million yuan, and I was playing with it like an ordinary piece of wood yesterday?

If I accidentally dropped it and knocked off a piece, would I be able to afford the loss?

Can't think, can't think!

"This piece of agarwood is heavier, and the carving is better, so the value is at least [-] million!"

The price that Zhao Jian finally determined basically did not meet Ye Jianshe and Zhu Yu's expectations.

"However, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable buyer." Zhao Jian added, "However, this set of Buddhist utensils and this large and small gold Buddha statue, there should be many people who want to go home and worship it."

"Then I would like to trouble Mr. Zhao to help publicize it," Zhu Yu said.

Sending Zhao Jian away, Ye Jianshe said:
"Little Zhu, you don't need to worry. If no one can afford this agarwood Buddha statue, it would be nice to send it to the auction."

Zhu Yu nodded and said:

"Indeed, this is also a way. But I am not in a hurry, and I am not short of money for the time being."

The next day, Zhao Jian called and helped to contact the two buyers.One is interested in Buddhist utensils and small golden Buddha statues, and the other wants to invite the big golden Buddha back.

A set of Buddhist utensils plus two Buddha statues, the final transaction price was 800 million RMB, which was beyond Zhu Yu's imagination.

After Ye Shenghua found out, he called Zhu Yu:
"Second, do you have to bleed a lot this time, treat me to a meal?"

"That's for sure." Zhu Yu smiled, "Without you contacting your second uncle, I wouldn't be able to sell these things."

In fact, he is also considering selling those dozens of boxes of gold, silver and precious stones, but there is no particularly good opportunity right now.

It's okay to say that I went out to get some Buddha statues this time, but I would doubt it if I got so many things all at once.

Although he felt more at ease with Ye Jianshe and Ye Shenghua, this was also relative.

I have too many things in my hands and too many secrets. Naturally, the fewer people who know, the better.

After thinking about it, he called his brother Zhu Yu:
"Brother, can we apply for a homestead in our village? I want to build a villa."

"What? How did you come up with this idea?" Zhu Fei didn't understand.

"Some things need to be kept at home. Our building is too small."

"Is it something more expensive?" Zhu Fei understood immediately?
"Yes." At home, Zhu Yu didn't worry about being eavesdropped or anything, "Go outside this time and get back some big things. It won't fit in an ordinary house."

"Then don't build it in the village." Zhu Fei thought for a while and said, "Firstly, it is not easy to build a homestead, and secondly, there are fewer and fewer people in our village, so it is not safe. Although the villagers have no bad intentions, Qizui Gossip, if someone sees it, spread the word if it's not clear, and attract others' attention.

I think you just buy a villa in the county and forget it.In this way, even if you are not around, the family can often go to watch, or let grandpa live there, anyway, now the land is handed over to the cooperative, and parents have nothing to do, just raise some pigs and order food..."

When Zhu Fei said this, Zhu Yu felt that it made sense.

In fact, he also wanted to buy a villa in Shenghai, but think about it.It's okay to stay here for two days, but it's unbearable to stay here for a long time.

If it were for Ye Shenghua, he would definitely say that he was poor, but he was used to the weather in the north with four distinct seasons, so he was really not used to staying in Shenghai.

Yanjing is the same.

So I once dreamed of buying a courtyard house, but now I think about it or forget it.

It is the fate of living in a small county.

"Then buy two sets." Zhu Yu thought for a while and said, "You can find my classmate Jiang Yan and ask her to help you buy it. The room is bigger and the basement is bigger. I need to store a lot of things."

At least dinosaur fossils are going to go in there.

Zhu Yu originally planned to put it in his villa in New York, but now he doesn't want to put it there.

After all, I am an outsider over there, and it is really hard to say if I will be robbed or confiscated one day.

After all, this country has to guard against the lessons learned from the Chinese.

A country established by the descendants of rogues and robbers has no integrity at all.

Zhu Yu sent his brother 500 million yuan, which would definitely be enough for two villas plus decoration in a small county.

Anyway, it was his own territory, and Zhu Yu also believed in the security of his hometown, so these things could still be preserved.

After settling this matter, Zhu Yu didn't let Ye Shenghua accompany him. He walked around by himself, tasted the fish and shrimp in Taihu Lake, looked up at the statue of Xu Xiake, and looked closely at the giant turtle carved in Yuantouzhu, and A restored Five-Masted Lake pirate ship.

Ran Jie called, the three of them stayed at home for a while, and felt that they were almost done, so they came to Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu told them the location and asked the three of them to come together.

Before the three of Ran Jie came over, Zhu Yu received a strange call.

"Mr. Zhu?" The other party was very polite, but the voice sounded older.

"I'm Zhu Yu, may I ask..." Zhu Yu was a little strange.

"Hello, hello! My name is Hu Jingtian, and I am taking the liberty to make this call." The other party reported his family name, "But Mr. Zhu, please understand my eagerness as a layman..."

Hearing his self-introduction, Zhu Yu understood what it meant.

"Mr. Zhu, is it convenient now? I'm having a banquet in a restaurant and I want to invite Mr. Zhu over to talk..."

"Okay." Zhu Yu heard the name reported by the other party. It was a very famous restaurant in Shenghai. Ye Shenghua took Zhu Yu there, so he knew that there should be no danger in this trip.

After passing by, Zhu Yu saw Hu Jingtian, an old man about 60 years old.

With gray hair, ruddy complexion, a double-breasted dress, mille-soled cloth shoes, and a Buddhist bead in his hand, he looks very rich.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhu to be so young!" Hu Jingtian greeted Zhu Yu with a smile.

Leading Zhu Yu into the private room to sit down, Hu Jingtian signaled the waiter next to him to pour the wine, and then said:

"I heard that Mr. Zhu is a good drinker. This time I brought some old wine. Mr. Zhu can try it."

Zhu Yu had no interest in wine, so he didn't refuse it either.

After drinking for three rounds, Hu Jingtian didn't expect that Zhu Yu didn't ask at all. His concentration was really deep, which was a little surprising, but he was relieved when he thought about his achievements.

Since Zhu Yu doesn't ask, let me say it myself:

"Mr. Zhu, I invite you to come here this time. I actually want to look at the statue of Agarwood Buddha. In addition, if Mr. Zhu has other Buddhist artifacts, I am also very interested."

Hearing that the other party was interested in the statue of Chenxiang Buddha, Zhu Yu smiled:

"Of course. But these are not with me right now. Why don't we make an appointment to take a look at another time and place. Besides, I think Mr. Hu should know the market price of that statue of Chenxiang Buddha..."

"I know." Hu Jingtian said with a smile, "In the early years, I followed our country's good policies and made some money. Although it has been refunded for two years, I still have some savings. If you like it, the money not a problem."

That's good!

After drinking and eating, Hu Jingtian and Zhu Yu made an appointment to meet in a teahouse the next day.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhu Yu called Ye Jianshe to inquire about Hu Jingtian.

"Hu Jingtian found you?" Ye Jianshe was a little puzzled, but soon told Zhu Yu about Hu Jingtian's information.

"This man's family background is relatively strong. When the opening of the country in the 80s of the last century, he made a fortune by buying and selling, and then invested in the antique market. By introducing and selling the cultural relics in the cultural relics store at that time to foreigners, he got a relationship with foreign countries.

Later, he caught up with the trend of importing foreign garbage, subscription certificates for stock speculation, etc., basically making a fortune.At the beginning of the century, he entered real estate and worked for about 15 years. At the most glorious time, he stopped.It must be a lot of money, but I don't know why, I believe in Buddha.If you ask me, he might really be interested in your agarwood Buddha statue. "

Needless to say, Hu Jingtian must have got Zhu Yu's information from Zhao Jian.

After listening to Ye Jianshe's introduction of Hu Jingtian's background and experience, as well as his appearance, Zhu Yu was basically sure.This should not be a liar.

Zhu Yu himself is definitely not interested in the Chenxiang Buddha statue, if it can be exchanged for money, he is naturally willing.

Back at the hotel, Zhu Yu thought about it, and besides the agarwood Buddha statue, he took out two bronze Buddha statues.

These two Buddha statues are not common images, one is a Buddha statue copied from the 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni.There is an original image of this Buddha in the Jokhang Temple, and it looks like it was sculpted under the guidance of Sakyamuni's nurse, so it is very similar.

There is also a green tara, to be honest, Zhu Yu doesn't like it very much.

This time, the Buddhist utensils from the basement and the even more disgusting Gabala bowl were made of human skulls. After thinking about it, Zhu Yu also took out one and put it in a box together.

The Gabala bowl is inlaid with gold rims and precious stones, which is quite luxurious.

The three of Ran Jie arrived in the evening, and Zhu Yu gave them three rooms in the hotel.

"Follow me to make a deal tomorrow." With the three of them around, Zhu Yu felt more at ease.

It's not that I'm afraid of robbery, but mainly because I'm afraid that someone will go crazy. Robbery is second, and if you want to kill someone, it will be troublesome.

The next day, in the teahouse, Hu Jingtian saw Zhu Yu and Ran Jie carrying the suitcase.

After entering the quiet room, Hu Jingtian waited for the tea art master to finish his performance, and invited them away. There were only two people with him and three people with Zhu Yu left in the room.

Hu Jingtian glanced at the three of Ran Jie and said with a smile:

"Mr. Zhu is quite cautious."

"They just arrived yesterday." Zhu Yu explained, motioning for Ran Jie to put the box beside him and open it.

"This is the Agarwood Buddha statue." Zhu Yu put the Buddha statue on the table and pushed it towards Hu Jingtian.

Hu Jingtian first turned the Buddha statue to the front, took a closer look, and bowed reverently, then held the Buddha statue with both hands and looked at it carefully.

His expression was very focused and he looked very carefully.

"Okay, very good!" Hu Jingtian looked at it for a while, put down the Buddha statue, and exclaimed:
"Sure enough, it is a Buddha statue enshrined in that era. I can feel the influence of incense in it..."

Zhu Yu was speechless, he couldn't feel anything.

"Mr. Zhu thinks how much money I can pay to bring this Buddha statue back?"

Zhu Yu didn't think about it, he pondered for a moment, thinking about the small agarwood Buddha statue that Ye Jianshe and Zhao Jian said was worth 2.7 million, so how could his own be worth five or six million?
He quoted a price at will:
"Six hundred million."

"Okay!" Hu Jingtian agreed without any counter-offer.

Cheaper bid?
Zhu Yu was a little puzzled!
