Live Appreciation, Congratulations to Brother

Chapter 73

Chen Yanguang and Wang Jianye, one is a pure layman, and the other is half a bucket of water.

They don't know that Shi Tianzhang is a master of bamboo carving, and the price of his signature bamboo carving works is generally high, so they were shocked when they saw the auction price of more than 1000 million:
Fuck!Who is this surnamed Shi?Carved things so expensive?
When the two looked at the statue of Arhat in Wang Guosheng's hand again, their eyes were different.

Don't fall!
Here, Master Wang also encountered difficulties.

"Zhang Yang, you will really give me problems!"

The old man said leisurely, but in his tone, there was doubt, and more excitement.

"Jianye, quickly bring my reading glasses."

"Although we haven't seen Shi Tianzhang's inscription on this Arhat statue, but judging by the technique, there is a high probability that it was really carved by him."

"By the way, Zhang Yang, where did you see it?" Wang Guosheng looked at Zhang Yang.

This question is right, Zhang Yang said in his heart, you are always asking the right person.

I can't tell you, I'm on the hook, right?
Fortunately, he had the experience of being "tortured" by Master Wang last time. Before Zhang Yang came this time, he specially prepared a speech. This statue of Arhat is of course the most important thing.

"I saw an eighteen Arhat statue made by Shi Tianzhang at an auction before. The style is quite similar to this Arhat statue."

"At that time, I thought it was fine if the carving was so similar. It happened to be something from the middle Qing Dynasty. Is there a possibility that it is really Shi Tianzhang's work?"

"So after I came back, I checked carefully and found that this Jiading bamboo carving master carved a lot of boxwood Arhat statues in his later years."

"I'm about [-]% sure that this thing is right."

"I believe in your vision." Wang Guosheng nodded and put on his reading glasses: "But we have to find out if there is more convincing evidence."

"It's best to have his signature."

Master Wang said, and began to carefully examine every place on the statue of Arhat.

The remaining three people, including Zhang Yang, lowered their breathing for fear of disturbing him.

After a while, the old man shook his head: "There is no signature."

"The things are in good condition. Except for the peeling paint, there is no trace of chipping or scratching anywhere."

"But it also shows that if there is a signature, it must not have been destroyed."

"Then there's no way to prove that this is what Shi Shi did?" Chen Yanguang asked curiously.

"Almost, although uncle can prove it if he issues a testimonial, but the risk is too great."

What Wang Jianye gave is a common practice in the industry.To put it simply, Master Wang used the autographed appraisal report to endorse the provenance of the statue, and then sold it at a high price.

Once the car overturns, it will damage Master Wang's reputation.

"Oh, that's such a pity." Chen Yanguang said with regret.

Those present were all sensible people, knowing that since Wang Guosheng didn't answer Wang Jianye's words, it meant that the old man didn't have such thoughts.

Zhang Yang took the statue from Master Wang and looked at it again. It was true that there was no signature.

And because most of the gold paint has peeled off, the image of the Arhat statue is not very good.

"Zhang Yang, you said, if we fill up all the gold on the statue and cover up the wood, can it be sold more expensively?"

Standing beside Zhang Yang, Chen Yanguang had a whim.

Zhang Yang laughed, and said subconsciously: "The gold paint painted later is not to make this wood carving..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly had a guess and stopped talking.

"Not what?" Wang Jianye asked.

Zhang Yang didn't reply, but looked at the place where the golden paint remained on the statue.

"Teacher, do you have a small carving knife? I want to see if there is something under the paint."

"Under the paint?" Wang Guosheng was puzzled at first when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes, yes, it is very likely that it is covered by paint."

"Jianye, go and get my knife."

There are old experts around, and professional matters should be left to professional people.

With the carving knife in Master Wang's hand slowly moving, the gold paint on the surface of the wood carving was peeled off bit by bit, and the golden powder sprinkled on the table, shining brightly.

But everyone's attention was focused on the place where the carving knife fell.

"Shi, Tian, ​​Zhang, Ke."

Four teeny lowercase Chinese characters appear next to the arm held by the statue of Arhat, next to the folds of the clothes at the lower side.

"Wuhu!" Chen Yanguang jumped up happily.

"Awesome!" Wang Jianye whispered praise.

Zhang Yang and Master Wang looked at each other and smiled.

"Teacher, it seems that the ancients also had ignorance."

"Yes." Master Wang stroked his long beard: "Fortunately, you persevered, otherwise the pearl will be covered with dust."

……

In the evening, Chen Yanguang drove Zhang Yang back to school.

On the back seat, there are the [Seal of Commander Duoyanwei] and [Shi Tianzhang Boxwood Carved Arhat Statue] that he just bought.

"My future father-in-law should be satisfied with these two things!"

"A statue of an arhat, beautiful and valuable, shows my sincerity; a talisman that touches the gold captain fits his identity."

Zhang Yang shook his head when he heard the logic of Chen Yanguang's shopping.

"Brother, that's the seal of the commander. It was issued when the Duoyan Guard was first established in the 22nd year of Hongwu. It has nothing to do with the Captain Touching Gold you mentioned."

"If you go out and talk nonsense, don't say that I told you."

Chen Yanguang nodded half-understood: "Understood, then it is the seal of General Faqiu Zhonglang."

"Do you think your future father-in-law is a fool?"

Zhang Yang could see that, Chen Yanguang wanted to fool the ghost.

"How is it possible? Can you show Captain Mojin some respect?" Chen Yanguang said with a smile.

"Recently, I learned about the life of my future father-in-law. Oh, what a talent."

"He is a rich second generation just like me, but he always thinks about illegal things like tomb robbery. In the end, he was coerced into a tomb robbery gang and stepped on a sewing machine for seven years."

"After he came out, he wanted to write an autobiography to become famous, but he accidentally exposed the things he didn't confess before he was imprisoned, and he was arrested and squatted for more than half a year."

"Killing me!"

"Now he is in their house, he has no status at all, he is just eating and waiting to die."

"So I dare say that he will definitely like this Faqiu seal."

After Zhang Yang heard these words, the expression on his face was a little subtle.

Because the paragraph "Writing autobiography and going to prison for the second time" was removed, Chen Yanguang and his future father-in-law seemed to be looking in the mirror.

The same rich second generation, the same old thinking about illegal things like tomb robbery, and the same no status in the family...

Maybe this is the legendary match made in heaven?
"Then when you get engaged, remember to let me know that I will give you a big red envelope." Zhang Yang raised his mouth with Chen Yanguang before getting out of the car.

"Definitely, you must be indispensable to the wedding." Chen Yanguang agreed with all his heart.

"By the way, do you still remember the No. [-] brother who was sent in by you before?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yang was taken aback, and soon remembered the brother who jumped with the oxygen bottle on his back: "That's what he wanted to go in, okay? What does it have to do with me?"

"It's all the same." Chen Yanguang smiled: "He chatted with me privately a few days ago and wanted to ask you if he could add you as a personal friend. He has a big job and wants to see if you are interested."

"What live?"

"He didn't say anything, he said he could only tell Master Zhang himself."

"Let him line up... Forget it, you'd better push my business card to him."

Zhang Yang thought about it, and it is best to understand the risks before the live broadcast of the "big job".
