---------------------------------------------

Wang Ding didn't use supernatural powers to identify it, so he can assert that this ivory Buddha sculpture is definitely an old object, and it should have been from the Qing Dynasty at the earliest, because not to mention the scarcity of ivory in modern times, even in the Republic of China, there were craftsmen with such craftsmanship , those are rare, and they can be called master-level craftsmen.

Then, according to the layer of purple flame on the surface of the ivory, Wang Ding can deduce that this age seems to exceed the Qing Dynasty, it should be the Ming Dynasty!At least objects from the Ming Dynasty...

At this point, Wang Ding looked at it more carefully.

Suddenly, a picture shocked Wang Ding.

"Huh? Why is there a crack?!"

At this time, Wang Ding noticed that there was a crack about five centimeters in size under the side arm of the ivory carving, and it extended inward. Close the door.

"What is this?"

Wang Ding's line of sight continued to look in along the small door, and he was suddenly even more stunned, because the chest part of this Buddha sculpture was hollowed out, and in that small space, There are two wax pills.

Naturally, this thing couldn't resist Wang Ding's perspective. Looking inside, Wang Ding found that there were two small balls of paper kneaded together inside the wax pill, which made Wang Ding dumbfounded. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't tell the difference. What is written on the inside of the ball of paper.

At this time, Wang Ding was already very curious. If it is said that the things inside this Buddha sculpture, it is obvious that later generations have painstakingly hidden them inside, and this mystery must be inside the two wax pills. The secret, however, cannot be revealed.It made Wang Ding feel uncomfortable.

"Boss Wang, you want to buy this thing, right?"

Wang Ding watched for a long time, and Tan Guanghui finally interjected and asked.

Wang Ding can't tell now, because Wang Ding is a little uncertain about the name of this crack.

But Wang Ding didn't answer, Tan Guanghui had his own ideas.In fact, Tan Guanghui struggled with it for a while, but he still decided to sell it.After all, this thing is kept at home, and it cannot be eaten as a meal.Moreover, in the environment where he grew up, he was surrounded by Chinese people, including his mother, who was also the daughter of Chinese people. Unlike those Burmese people who believed in Buddhism, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with selling this Buddha statue.

Such a large and delicate tooth carving.If it was placed in a Burmese home, it would definitely be enshrined like a treasure and worshiped day and night, but in Tan Guanghui's house, it was just kept under the bed for decades. When the old man was bored, he would occasionally take it out to "think That year" was used.

Think about it.Tan Guanghui said, "I said that this thing can be sold, but this thing has been kept in my home for many years. In our domestic terms, it is an antique, right? In terms of this price, it cannot be priced according to the price of these handicrafts. Forget it. The price must be higher than those things, I must tell you this first..."

"Well, Brother Tan, there is no problem with this, but I have to take a closer look, this tooth carving seems to have traces of repair..."

At this time, Wang Ding's thoughts were all on the ivory ornaments.According to the habit of bargaining when buying things, he answered casually, but he regretted it as soon as he said it. If the stall owner saw something, he would be at a big loss.

"Oh, you're talking about that crack, right? I had it when I was young. Maybe it was accidentally cracked by my grandfather before. It shouldn't affect it, right?"

After Tan Guanghui heard Wang Ding's words, he couldn't help being a little nervous. Since he decided to sell it, he naturally wanted to sell it at a high price. If Wang Ding was talking about the crack, Tan Guanghui really didn't know how to negotiate the price. After all, he knows nothing about antiques.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't affect it, but the overall shape of this ivory carving is very good, and it's normal to have a little flaw. I won't bite your price because of this, and I will be tense with you. Let me take a look, Brother Tan You can also estimate the price first, and we can talk later..." After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Ding calmed down.

Wang Ding now focused all his attention on the repaired surface. He found that the repaired surface and the material used inside should be milky white silica gel. After a long time, it would turn slightly yellow. It can be seen, but it is really not easy to detect it simply by looking at it with the eyes.Also, the silicone seems to be a little bit different, which is suspicious.

You must know that latex was only popularly used at the beginning of the last century. It was impossible to have this kind of material in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the wax pellets in this ivory ornament are a unique method of secret letter transmission in ancient China. Since the Qing Dynasty, the secret letters sealed with wax paint have been used. The combination of these two completely unequal events made Wang Ding somewhat puzzled as to what kind of secret this was hiding.

Tan Guanghui was also pondering the price at this meeting. When he finally made up his mind, he saw Wang Ding was still watching and asked, "Boss, do you still want my stuff? It's really not a problem."

"I want."

Wang Ding made a decision, the paper ball inside the wax ball, he could never recognize the characters in it just by looking at it with his own eyes. If he wants to understand, he can only take out the wax ball, and first of all, let the ivory Buddha sculpture Be yourself.

"Brother Tan, I want to buy it, and I won't hide it from you. This ivory Buddha sculpture should be an old thing before the Republic of China. It can be regarded as an antique. I like this object very much. It is good to put at home. The other thing is the crack , I don't want to say anything more, anyway, you can make a price, if it is suitable, we will make a deal..."

Because of Tan Guanghui's attitude at the beginning, Wang Ding was afraid that he would not want to sell it anymore, so in order to show his sincerity, he bluntly said that this object is an antique, but in terms of age, Wang Ding played a trick, he only said that it was before the Republic of China , but did not say that this object may be something from the Ming Dynasty.

"This... I don't know very well. I thought about it for a long time just now. If you really want it, little brother, please give me this price..."

After Tan Guanghui hesitated for a while, he stretched out two fingers.

Seeing Tan Guanghui's gesture, Wang Ding asked, "Twenty thousand dollars? Isn't that a bit expensive? Are you really..."

While talking, he frowned, but he was pretending, saying that this thing should be tested in China.If we can find out the origin of its inheritance, it is normal to sell a price of seventy-eight million yuan, but this business requires bargaining, so Wang Ding will naturally lower the price.

It's just that Wang Ding didn't notice the pupils in Tan Guanghui's eyes after he said the price of [-] US dollars.It shrank in an instant, which is a normal reaction when people are surprised.Tan Guanghui didn't dislike Wang Ding's lack of money, but the price frightened him. The meaning of his two fingers was only two thousand dollars.

You must know that ivory carvings are very common in Myanmar. Although the ivory material used for this decoration is not small, there are also some objects larger than this in this part of Myanmar.The price is only one or two thousand US dollars, and Myanmar's per capita income is very low, one or two thousand US dollars is enough for a family's expenses for several years.

Tan Guanghui set up a stall here to do business, and the money he earns in a month is only a few hundred dollars, if according to Wang Ding's [-] dollars.That was a huge sum of money for Tan Guanghui.Excited, excited, but how could Tan Guanghui tell Wang Ding that he was talking about two thousand dollars.But the height of the magic is one foot higher than ten feet, but Tan Guanghui doesn't know that Wang Ding is more accurate in Tan Guanghui's pulse.

"Boss Wang... Boss Wang, you can get it cheaper. If you want...or do you think it's [-]? My things are passed down from my grandfather. If my grandfather is still alive, I won't sell it... "

Tan Guanghui was so excited that he stuttered a little. He was afraid that Wang Ding would not buy it, so he took the initiative to drop two thousand dollars, and said that it was his grandfather's relic.

"Eighteen thousand..."

Wang Ding muttered something in his mouth.Then he looked around the Buddha sculpture again, nodded heavily, and said, "It's fate to meet Brother Tan, [-], let's say [-], but Brother Tan, can this thing be taken out of the country?" Huh? If I am confiscated by the customs, I will be wronged..."

Wang Ding didn't know whether Myanmar banned the export of such items. If it was true, as he said, it would be worthless if they were bought and then confiscated.

Tan Guanghui watched the big deal being negotiated, and hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, how about it, little brother, wait a minute, I'll help you issue an invoice for handicrafts..." Tan Guanghui actually didn't know this Things are not forbidden to be exported, but he knows that as long as there is an invoice issued by a state-owned store, the stuff bought in Myanmar can definitely be taken out.

Tan Guanghui greeted a familiar stall owner at the stall next to him and asked him to take care of it, and then excitedly ran to the state-owned store at the entrance of the Shwedagon Pagoda.

At this time, Wang Ding carefully reappeared to look at the Buddha sculpture carefully, and Bi Yue also slowly moved to Wang Ding's side. He had been negotiating with the stall owner just now, and Bi Yue simply didn't interrupt, but looked at Wang Ding's flower price of [-] yuan. Bi Yue was still a little puzzled when he bought this Buddha sculpture with a few dollars.

"Wang Ding, you spent more than [-] yuan on this thing, is it worth it?"

Bi Yue saw Wang Ding caressing this ivory Buddha statue fondly, and asked a little puzzled. In her opinion, most of the things sold in these tourist attractions are fake. If they went out for more than 11 yuan, they might be slaughtered by Tan Guanghui.

As the saying goes: fellow countrymen, with a shot in the back, the Chinese are the most tourists who come to Myanmar. If you say that Tan Guanghui will treat the Chinese people differently, Bi Yue doesn’t believe it. It is our own people.

Wang Ding knew about Bi Yue's concern, and because Bi Yue believed in Wang Ding, Bi Yue didn't say much when he bought it, but now he always wanted to clear up the doubts in his heart.

Seeing Bi Yue looking at himself expectantly, Wang Dingdao said, "It's worth it, of course it's worth it. Hand-carved products have become very popular in recent years. Such large and complete ivory carvings are rare in China. The price of ivory carving crafts has also risen sharply, and it might be doubled if you take them home..."

Wang Ding didn't dare to say more. If he said that this thing is worth seventy-eight million yuan based on its age, it would definitely shock Bi Yue. Wang Ding had a feeling in his heart that such a large object , there will definitely be records in some domestic materials.

"As long as you don't lose money." Bi Yue said reassuringly, otherwise it would be her own fault for bringing Wang Ding to the Shwedagon Pagoda.

The two were admiring the Buddha sculpture together. At this time, Tan Guanghui hurried back, holding a rectangular box made of bamboo in his hand, which was just big enough to hold the ivory Buddha statue. This is a specialty of Myanmar. The bamboo box, which cost thirty or forty dollars, was bought by Tan Guanghui as a match for Wang Ding.

Wang Ding joined hands with Tan Guanghui.Carefully put the ivory Buddha statue horizontally into the bamboo box, and then stuffed sponges and waste newspapers around it tightly. The bamboo box itself is elastic, so that even if there are some collisions, it will not damage the inside. object.

"Boss. This is the invoice, please take it..." After tidying up.Tan Guanghui pushed the box to Wang Ding, and handed over the invoice he just issued. It was written in Burmese, and Wang Ding couldn't understand it. After receiving the invoice, he handed it to Bi Yue.

Bi Yue has been in the cloud all year round, and has also been in contact with Myanmar business with Bi Jiahao, but she knows the Myanmar invoice.

Bi Yue glanced at the invoice and nodded.Handed the 8000 dollars that had been counted just now to Tan Guanghui, and picked up the box from the ground. The bamboo box has a handle on it, which is very convenient to hold.

"Thank you."

"Well, no thanks, goodbye!"

...carrying this big box.There was no way to go shopping anymore. Fortunately, the Shwedagon Pagoda had already been visited. Wang Ding and Bi Yue didn't want to continue doing anything here. Wang Ding was carrying the suitcase, and Bi Yue followed behind.After the two came out, they took a taxi and went back to the hotel.

The Burmese jadeite market is scheduled to open on November [-]th, and most businessmen from home and abroad arrived in Yangon today. After Wang Ding walked into the hotel, he saw many familiar faces. Big, well-known jewelry companies are those few.It's hard not to touch it.

However, Wang Ding did not see Sun Qian, Wu Baipo and the others, but Regal Jewelry did come, but Wang Ding did not know each other, so it didn't matter.

Now Wang Ding has also released information that he may still be alive, and there is no need to dress to death.

Moreover, Wang Ding also received news from Gancheng in the past two days, that is, he learned that he might still be alive, and that Wu Baipo and Sun Qian in Dashang#海娱乐城 had already been fried.

A mission to kill Wang Ding was unsuccessful, and they left Macau. Sun Qian and Wu Baipo had no choice but to protect themselves from finding the evidence of Wang Ding's murder.

But will everything be as they expected?

.....

Walking and stopping, followed Bi Yue and said hello to the wool merchants from China. When they got to the elevator, Wang Ding quickly got in.Back at the hotel, Wang Ding couldn't wait to reveal the secrets of the tooth carvings, but he was sticky and uncomfortable after going out, so he went to the bathroom and took a shower first.

When Wang Ding came out, the ivory Buddha statue had already been placed on the table in the living room, and Qian Le was observing it carefully.

"Wang Ding, I heard that sister Bi Yue said that you missed an ivory Buddha sculpture. Why can't I see anything about this Buddha sculpture? It can be worth hundreds of thousands? Are you coaxing sister Bi Yue?"

Qian Le walked around this ivory carving for several times just now, but it's just a little special in shape, he couldn't tell why it was so valuable for something that couldn't be eaten or drunk.

"Hundreds of thousands? Hehe, Qian Le, I need to add a zero..."

Wang Ding laughed complacently. As the saying goes, gold and antiques in troubled times, in times of chaos, these things are worthless and cumbersome to carry, but nowadays, they are priceless treasures. In short, Wang Ding will not take This thing was sold.

"How many... how many millions?"

Qian Le's lips twitched, and he looked at the Buddha sculpture in disbelief, "Just for this thing, he can be worth several million, Brother Wang Ding, are you kidding me?"

"What did I tell you to laugh. Have you ever seen me joking so seriously?"

Qian Le became more interested. He knew how Wang Ding got his money. If it was true as he said, he would get millions of dollars just by going out. This is not the kind of luck that ordinary people can have.

In Qian Le's heart, at this moment, he was thinking about getting started quickly and helping Wang Ding's antique shop. With this kind of skill, he would never have to worry about it for the rest of his life. "Brother Wang Ding, tell me quickly, why is it only a few million?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter how much it's worth. I don't even think about selling it. I don't think I can find a few pieces in the country...I want to put it in a museum in the capital for offering."

At this time, Wang Ding had already focused his attention on the ivory carving. He was thinking about how to open the repaired "door" and take out the wax pellets inside. Of course, Wang Ding didn't want to damage this ivory sculpture. Buddha sculpture, or just throw it on the ground and listen for a sound, and the thing will be taken out.

"Brother Wang Ding, I really don't understand this ivory Buddha sculpture. What's so different about it, can you tell me that I can become an apprentice in your antique shop?"

Wang Ding smiled, "To see whether something is an antique, you have to look at it from the most basic point of view. You are supposed to have a foundation in all aspects, but you lack observation. Take your time."

"Ok."

Qian Le is really in the state and stage of learning at present, he nodded, following Wang Ding's gaze, he also noticed the ivory Buddha sculpture.

Really, after such a careful observation, Qian Le could see something different.

"Brother Wang Ding, it seems that I saw something, did you find it, this..."

Dong dong dong, at this time, the door rang several times, before Wang Ding and Qian Le went to open the door, the door was already opened.
