The Strongest Recycling System in Doomsday

Chapter 1328 Buddha Statue
"what?"

He Shen's words made Chen Qiang even more puzzled.

"He Er, is there an error in the historical records? Is the relationship between you and Liu Yong so good?"

He Shen shook his head with a smile, "Brother, Liu Yong is a stubborn person, you can tell from his words at a glance, how can I have a friend like him who is as stubborn as a donkey?
However, I did ask him for this painting back then, and that damned stubborn donkey didn't intend to agree to me at first, as if he was afraid of having something to do with me, but later he agreed for the first time.Do you know why? "

Chen Qiang shook his head.

He was not a history expert in the first place, and his understanding of He Shen was limited to knowing that he was the most famous corrupt official in history. How could he know such detailed secrets?

He Shen pointed to the vertical scroll again, and read softly, "Blue-sky-high-one-foot"!
Chen Qiang pointed to the writing and said, "Is Liu Yong's writing praising himself?"

"Of course not." He Shen shook his head and laughed, "A stubborn ass like Liu Yong, who had no ability to do anything to me back then, had no choice but to show off his tongue. He scolded me by giving me this letter Well, the so-called blue sky is one foot high, but it is actually scolding me and scraping the common people's land one foot thick!

That idiot Liu Yong thought I couldn't understand his tricks, but in fact, I already understood the meaning, but I didn't point it out.

It's just that this prime minister is magnanimous and doesn't have the same knowledge as that stubborn donkey Liu Yong. No matter how much he scolds me, how can it shake my position in the slightest? "

After He Shen finished speaking, Chen Qiang couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, for a person like He Shen, the most important thing is how much real and practical benefits he can get. As for infamy or something, a thick-skinned person like He Shen doesn't care.

But even so, it can't explain how precious Liu Yong's calligraphy is, right?

Before Chen Qiang could raise this question, He Shen had already inquired about the price of that painting.

"Hey, little brother, how can I sell this calligraphy?"

He Shen touched a 30-year-old apprentice at the counter and asked.

"Excuse me, please wait a moment." The apprentice turned his head, wiped off his sweat, explained a sentence, and went to get calligraphy and painting for another customer.

"It's unreasonable!" Chen Qiang had a bad impression of the Four Seas Antique City, but now he was ignored by a young apprentice in the store, and he suddenly became angry.

No matter how good the business in this Four Seas Antique City is, you can't neglect customers like this, right?

Chen Qiang was about to get angry, but He Shen stopped him in time.

"Brother, you don't know. The most taboo in antique trading is to be impatient. It is easy to be caught by the other party, and then lower or raise the price. If you believe me, you might as well leave this matter to me to deal with."

Chen Qiang had no experience with antiques and the like, so he naturally had no objection to He Shen's suggestion.

But what Chen Qiang didn't expect was that He Shen didn't have the same experience as the apprentice at the calligraphy and painting counter just now, but instead took Chen Qiang directly to the bronze counter.

At this time, more people gathered at the bronze counter.

"Master Liu, please show me again. How could this Buddha statue be a Qing imitation? I'm sure it must be the authentic one from the Southern and Northern Dynasties!"

A middle-aged man in his forties, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, held a golden Buddha statue less than twenty centimeters high in his hand, and shouted with his neck stuck.

Hearing this person's question, there was a burst of ridicule from the surrounding crowd.

"I said, brother, since you have sold at the Four Seas Antique City, you must have believed in the reputation here. Master Liu is a leading figure in the bronze collection circle in South China. He has never drilled the objects he has ever seen!"

"Brother, you haven't watched domestic treasure appraisal programs, have you? Master Liu has been a special guest on several treasure appraisal programs. He said it was an imitation, absolutely right!"

"Yes, brother, Master Liu is right. Besides, haven't you heard of it? Things like Buddha statues in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are even more expensive!"

No matter how the people around him praised Master Liu's ability, the middle-aged man holding the Buddha statue obviously didn't like that, and firmly believed that what he was holding was from the Southern and Northern Dynasties period!

However, after hearing that treasures such as Buddha statues were more valuable in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Master Liu, didn't you say that antiques are more valuable as they age?"

Master Liu on the opposite side looked about the same age as the middle-aged man, holding a small teacup in his hand, and when he heard the middle-aged man's question, he explained slowly, "Brother, I see you There is obviously some misunderstanding about antiques.

It's not that the older things are more valuable, otherwise, can you say that the stone statues of the Han Dynasty are more valuable than the bronze wares of the Qing Dynasty?There is a lot of knowledge here.

Take the Buddha statue in your hand as an example. The first thing I want to correct is that the Buddha statue in your hand is not a gold-plated Buddha statue, but a pure gold Buddha statue. "

wow——

As soon as Master Liu finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation from the scene!

A pure gold Buddha statue nearly [-] centimeters high, regardless of its age, is worth at least one million yuan in terms of its own gold price!
Of course, the middle-aged man holding the Buddha statue is breathing more quickly at this moment!
Master Liu continued, "As for the age of this Buddha statue, I'm afraid I will disappoint you.

First of all, it is generally impossible for objects such as Buddha statues to be buried in the earth as sacrificial objects. Therefore, all gold and bronze wares of a certain age will have patina, and as appraisers, we often pass through the leather shell Patina to identify its age.

But look at this Buddha statue in your hand, where is there any patina?
If it is said to be an imitation of the Qing Dynasty, it is actually a bit far-fetched, because the shape of this Buddha statue is really similar to the characters of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It really looks like the authentic product of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

But, the Buddha statue in your hand doesn't have any old shell and pulp, which is strange.

Buddha statue collectors should know that all Buddha statues have never been buried as sacrificial objects because they involve belief issues. Therefore, the gold and bronze Buddha statues that have been handed down in the past will inevitably have a shell that was handed down from generation to generation.

And when we identify the age of a gold and bronze vessel, we mostly use these pulped shells as identification points.

Therefore, from the two points I mentioned above, at least it can be concluded that the skin, patina and characters of the object in your hand do not match the corresponding age, which creates the sense of anachronism that often occurs when we appraise ancient objects.

By encountering an item with a sense of anachronism, most of us will judge it as a modern imitation!
However, the gold of the Buddha statue in your hand is obviously slightly patinaed, so I judge it to be an imitation of the Qing Dynasty.

As for its value—”

"How about it?"

The middle-aged man obviously didn't listen to a lot of appraisal principles that Master Liu said, but focused all his attention on the value of the Buddha statue.
