The gold-inlaid Avalokitesvara Guanyin bought by Zhang Wei has been packed into an exquisite wooden box. This is also a wooden box given by Chenxiangju for the convenience of customers when taking it away. The wooden box is brown as a whole, with a sculpture carved on it.
The peony pattern can also be regarded as a good handicraft.
Zhang Wei took the wooden box from the clerk, put it on the wooden table, opened it with his own hands, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "This Guanyin statue is a collection I bought. Please help Qian to identify it."
"Yes." Mr. Qian nodded to Zhang Wei and responded noncommittally.
When Mr. Qian saw that Zhang Wei was so young, he didn't believe that he could buy genuine items. After all, the antique industry relies on years of accumulated experience and vision, both of which are not available to a young man in his early twenties.
However, as a professional appraiser, Mr. Qian would not irresponsibly appraise an antique because of his own subjective assumptions. Instead, he carefully took out the gold and jade Guanyin statue from the wooden box, and then stood it upright on the table.
Carefully identify every accessory on the Guanyin statue.
"Tsk, let's not say whether this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue is real, but the carving and appearance are quite good."
"Yes! It is indeed rare to see such a complete preservation after those ten years of turmoil."
"It's because this gold-and-jade Guanyin statue is so well preserved that I feel it's unlikely that it's authentic. It's more like a counterfeit made in recent years."
After seeing the gold and jade Guanyin statue, the surrounding customers expressed their opinions one after another. Because the gold and jade Guanyin statue was so completely preserved, there was not even a trace of a bump. Many customers found it incredible and thought it might be an imitation.
.
After hearing everyone's speculation, Zhang Wei's heart sank. Although he could see through Manager Wang's heart, it was Manager Wang who believed that this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue was real, so he spent a lot of money to buy it.
Buy it.
However, Manager Wang believes that this gold-inlaid and jade-inlaid Guanyin statue is authentic, which does not mean that the gold-inlaid and jade Guanyin statue is 100% authentic. It is also possible that the seller deceived Manager Wang, or that there was something wrong with the appraiser that Manager Wang hired.
Just when Zhang Wei was feeling uneasy, Mr. Qian, who was appraising the gold and jade Guanyin statue, stood up, breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and stared at Zhang Wei's face, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, you just
Did you buy this collectible?”
"Yeah? Is there any problem, Mr. Qian?" After hearing Mr. Qian's words, Zhang Wei was stunned by his question, but he smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "I'm not a rich man like Fatty Zhou. Buy this one.
I have already spent a lot of money on the collection. If this collection is fake, I will never touch antiques again."
Not only Zhang Wei was confused after hearing what Mr. Qian said, but others also didn't know what Mr. Qian meant, and they didn't understand whether the gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue was true or false. However, Mr. Qian's identity was there, and they didn't understand.
It was difficult to ask questions, so everyone gathered around and waited for Mr. Qian's next words.
"Mr. Qian, I wonder if this gold-and-jade Guanyin statue is real or fake?" Fatty Zhou couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Wei came with Fatty Zhou. When Fatty Zhou and his wife bought fake goods one after another, if Zhang Wei also bought a fake collectible, then they and their group would have completely lost their money.
Not to mention the loss of reputation, the face is also lost.
If Zhang Wei's gold-inlaid jade Guanyin is real, then he, the eldest brother who brought Zhang Wei here, is naturally proud of it, and will not be laughed at after he has gone out of his way.
"Mr. Zhang has a good taste. This gold-inlaid and jade Guanyin is not only authentic, but also exquisitely carved and well-preserved. It has great room for appreciation in the future. It can be said to be a rare collection." Mr. Qian expressed admiration.
said.
"Ah, this gold and jade statue of Guanyin is actually real. It's really surprising."
"Yes, Mr. Zhang is young and doesn't look like a knowledgeable person. I didn't expect to buy a genuine product right away."
"Mr. Qian, since you have identified it as genuine, why don't you tell us the origin of this golden and jade Guanyin statue! Let us juniors also gain knowledge."
Hearing Mr. Qian say that this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue was genuine, everyone was surprised and envious. They looked at Zhang Wei with a little more attention and asked about the origin of this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue.
information.
Not to mention everyone was surprised, even the well-informed Mr. Qian was very surprised. Otherwise, they would not have asked Zhang Wei if he only bought this one collection. If Zhang Wei bought several collections, then one of them happened to be
It's true, so it won't surprise anyone.
But Zhang Wei only bought one collectible, and this collection is real. If it is said that it is just luck, many people will not believe it. The antiques industry can be played by more than just luck.
.
"Brother, I really have yours. I didn't expect that I bought a real thing right away. Fat brother, I feel ashamed!" Fatty Zhou was happy for Zhang Wei, but he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Before Fatty Zhou came, he was very confident, well-equipped and well-equipped. He looked like a professional appraiser. He even explained the knowledge of bronze appraisal to Zhang Wei in a decent manner. As a result, all five bronzes that anyone wanted to buy were lost.
It's fake.
On the contrary, Zhang Wei, who had always kept a low profile, bought a collectible quietly, and did not dare to take the initiative to let Mr. Qian appraise it. In the end, he was able to let Mr. Qian appraise it at the suggestion of Manager Wang. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be...
An authentic piece with great collectible value.
"Brother Fatty, you deserve the award. I'm just lucky. I just hit it by mistake." Zhang Wei said modestly.
At this time, Zhang Wei couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when he didn't know whether the gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue was real or not, his heart had been hanging in his throat, and he even regretted that he had spent 300,000 to buy this statue on impulse.
Gold and jade statue of Guanyin.
After all, Zhang Wei worked hard to earn one million yuan. If he spent three hundred thousand yuan to buy a guy, he would probably be so angry that he couldn't sleep for a few days. Fortunately, this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue
Really, not only did Zhang Wei not spend 300,000 yuan in vain, he might actually make a fortune from it.
"Mr. Qian, how much would this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue be worth if sold?" Liu Yurou walked to the table, touched the gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue, and asked curiously.
In fact, not only Liu Yurou had this question, but even Zhang Wei and the surrounding customers wanted to know the value of this gold and jade Guanyin statue. However, it seemed a bit tacky to ask directly, so they refrained from asking.
"Haha, this gold and jade Guanyin statue is an object from the Qing Dynasty. Although it is not too old, it is well preserved, exquisite in carving, and in excellent condition, so its collection value will only become higher and higher in the future.
, If we talk about the market value, it should be about one million." Mr. Qian laughed and said.
After hearing Mr. Qian's words, Manager Wang also felt a burst of heartache. Unexpectedly, this gold and jade Guanyin statue was worth more than they estimated. If they had known that it could be sold for one million, they would have priced it at least thirty.
About fifty thousand.
"Ah, this gold and jade Guanyin statue can be sold for one million yuan. Doesn't that mean you can earn 700,000 yuan by changing hands?" Liu Yurou walked up to Zhang Wei and pinched his arm hard.
, said with some jealousy: "You must be so lucky! You were not happy to let you come just now, but now you have all the benefits."
"Bah... you were too cruel. You pinched my arm until it turned purple. I make money on my own, so I don't owe you anything?" Zhang Wei rolled up his sleeves and saw that they were twisted into blue.
Purple Arm muttered.
"You are pretending to be my boyfriend now, isn't it normal for me to pinch you? This makes it appear that we are close, doesn't it?" Liu Yurou argued softly.
"Does that mean that me holding your waist and touching your butt makes it more obvious that we are close, and it can also be done without your consent!" Zhang Wei stared at Liu Yurou's unbearable soft waist and round buttocks with evil intentions.
said.
"If you dare to touch me, I will smash your Guanyin statue!" Liu Yurou glared at Zhang Wei and threatened.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." After hearing Liu Yurou's threat, Zhang Wei restrained his original frivolous attitude and deliberately took a few steps back to keep a certain distance from Liu Yurou.
This gold and jade Guanyin statue is worth one million, which can be said to be equivalent to more than half of Zhang Wei's family wealth. If it was really a small loss, because it was damaged because of teasing Liu Yurou, Zhang Wei would probably be furious to death.
"Mr. Zhang, I wonder if you are willing to transfer this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue to me. If you are willing, I can buy it for one million now." Yue Ming stared at the gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue.
For a long time, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and couldn't help but suggest it to Zhang Wei.
"Mr. Zhang, I am also willing to buy this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue. What do you think of 1.01 million yuan?" Many customers present took a fancy to the fact that the gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue is well preserved, whether it is for viewing.
It also has great advantages in terms of collection value. Another customer who believes in Buddhism couldn't help but compete.
"It's too late for us to collect such good things ourselves? If we don't sell them, we won't sell them!" Before Zhang Wei could speak, Fatty Zhou waved his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan and said in a nonchalant manner.
"Fat Zhou, this gold-and-jade Guanyin statue doesn't belong to you, and the owner didn't even say anything? Why are you shouting here!" Yue Ming said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I am very sincere in wanting to buy your Guanyin statue, and I hope you can consider it." Another customer said, not wanting to give up easily.
"I'm sorry, you two. This gold and jade Guanyin statue was originally selected for me by Mr. Zhou, so since he said he won't sell it, I won't consider selling it either." A sly look flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes, and with his right hand
Putting his arm on Fatty Zhou's shoulders, he pretended to be grateful and said.
