Chapter 70: The Laughing Buddha
[69 Book Bar - www.] Zhao Baogang smiled politely. Seeing him coming over in such a hurry, he must be very concerned about this Smiling Buddha.
"Huanghuali root carving of the Smiling Buddha." Wang Tao was afraid that Zhao Baogang didn't understand and said specifically, "30 centimeters high and 20 centimeters in diameter."
Zhao Baogang didn't know much about root carvings. As for huanghuali, he knew something about it from the information he read. It is a very precious hard wood. In recent years, with the popularity of the furniture market, huanghuali and mahogany furniture have been sold extremely hotly, and the derived industries have
The prices of carved works of art are also rising steadily, especially the works of art masters, which are getting higher and higher year by year at auction. Huanghuali furniture or sculptures preserved in ancient times have become treasured by collectors.
.
Zhao Baogang only took it to look at the Smiling Buddha because he thought it looked cute. He had no intention of buying it, and he couldn't afford it.
"Is this a real huanghuali? I heard that all the larger huanghuali trees have been cut down now. Can big pear trees like that be fake?" Zhang Tingting said in surprise. After she finished speaking, she realized that this was the case.
Without being polite, he smiled hurriedly and said, "Boss Wang is so capable, how could he get it wrong? This smiling Buddha is so cute, it must be real."
Wang Tao was a little unhappy at first, but after hearing what Zhang Tingting said, he immediately calmed down, smiled, and said modestly: "I'm only a semi-professional, and I used to get eyeballs from time to time. However, this Smiling Buddha,
I spent a lot of money to buy it from a friend, and it is absolutely genuine.”
Seeing that Wang Tao didn't care, Zhang Tingting breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I'll just say it."
Liu Yan didn't understand this business even more, so she said, "I don't know anything. I only buy what I like. It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, as long as I'm satisfied with it."
Wang Tao hurriedly flattered: "Miss Liu's mentality is far better than mine."
"Collecting is a benevolence and a wise person has wisdom. People who like to collect are not only collecting history, but also making up for the regrets caused by time factors." Zhao Baogang said suddenly, "Just like this Smiling Buddha, with such a bright smile, even if it is not
Carved from real huanghuali, if it has unique commemorative significance for someone, it is also the most precious."
Zhang Tingting never thought that Zhao Baogang could say such knowledgeable words. He was right. Didn't she like to collect stamps because of her special hobbies? I remember the stamps I loved when I was a child. I kept them carefully and now I am reading them.
When I started reading it, I could still think of the way I cheered and delighted when I got a beautiful stamp as a child. That is a memory to treasure.
Liu Yan looked Zhao Baogang up and down and said with a smile: "Not bad, that makes sense. Just like, I still can't bear to throw away the Barbie doll I played with when I was a child."
Wang Tao didn't expect that Zhao Baogang's understatement would win Liu Yan's favor so much, and he suddenly felt unhappy. It's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, he knows nothing!
"Mr. Zhao can say such things, he is also an expert. We all made mistakes before, Mr. Zhao is the master who knows how to collect." Wang Tao chuckled, but the expression on his face was a bit sarcastic,
"Then please help me, Mr. Zhao. I spent 50,000 yuan on this Huanghuali Smiling Buddha Root Sculpture. I wonder if I made a loss or a profit?"
Wang Tao clearly knew that Zhao Baogang didn't understand, so why did he still ask him to say that? Isn't it embarrassing for him?
"Don't be modest. Mr. Zhao chose this Buddha at first sight just now. It means that you are destined and must have seen its uniqueness. You are welcome. Even if it is wrong, we will not laugh at you." Wang Tao
Hip-hop.
When Wang Tao said this, Liu Yan and the two really felt that Zhao Baogang seemed to understand quite well.
"Yes, Zhao Baogang, just tell me, remember, don't tell me how you feel." Liu Yan joked.
"Yes, the fact that you value her means that you like her. You can always give some reasons for liking her, right?" Zhang Tingting also said with interest.
Among these people, Zhao Baogang is undoubtedly the one living at the lowest level. He is a small farmer who faces the loess all day long and has his back to the sky. If you want to make fun of him, of course he is the one to choose.
People speak softly.
Zhao Baogang smiled, of course he understood what Wang Tao was trying to do. They say that people in the city are very narrow-minded. This is not true at all. People who don’t have such a narrow-minded mind can fool people and they don’t know what’s going on. It can be seen clearly.
Wang Tao is clearly a petty person, so it would be better to have less dealings with such people in the future.
Zhao Baogang casually turned over the Smiling Buddha in his hand, then smelled it, and suddenly said to Wang Tao humorously: "Boss Wang, I suddenly feel that you are very similar to it."
"Have you?" Wang Tao curled his lips slightly. As expected, he didn't understand anything and pretended to understand. Now that his secret was about to be exposed, he quickly changed the subject.
