Wang Ding can assert that without using supernatural powers to identify it, this ivory Buddha carving is definitely an old object of age. It should have been from the Qing Dynasty at the earliest, because not to mention the rare ivory in modern times, it was the ** period, with such skills.
Craftsmen are rare and can be called master-level craftsmen.
Then, based on a layer of purple light on the surface of this ivory, Wang Ding can even infer that this era seems to surpass the Qing Dynasty, and it should be the Ming Dynasty! At least it is an object from the Ming Dynasty...
At this point, Wang Ding looked at it more carefully.
Suddenly, a picture called Wang Ding was shocked.
"Huh? Why are there cracks?!"
Wang Ding discovered that there was a crack about five centimeters under the side arm of the ivory carving, and it extended into the inside, as if it had been repaired, as if a round small door was opened there, and then
Close the door.
"What is this?"
Wang Ding's eyes continued to look in the small door, and suddenly became even more shocked, because the chest part of the Buddha's carving was hollowed out, and in that very small space,
There are two wax pills.
This thing naturally could not resist Wang Ding's perspective. When he looked in, Wang Ding found that there were two small pieces of paper rubbed together in the wax balls, which made Wang Ding stunned. No matter how powerful he was, he could not tell.
What exactly is written in the paper ball?
At this time, Wang Ding was already very curious. To say that the things inside the Buddha sculpture were obviously hidden in it by later generations, and this mystery must be in two wax balls, which is close to you.
The secret cannot be revealed, which made Wang Ding feel so uncomfortable.
"Boss Wang, you want to buy this thing, right?"
After Wang Ding looked at it for a long time, Tan Guanghui finally intervened and asked.
Wang Ding can't say it now, because Wang Ding is a little confused about the crack.
However, Wang Ding's answer did not answer, and Tan Guanghui had his own idea. In fact, Tan Guanghui was also struggling with him for a while, but he decided to sell it. After all, this thing was kept at home and could not be eaten as a meal. And
In the environment he lived in since childhood, he was surrounded by Chinese people, even the daughter of Chinese people. He did not believe in Buddhism, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with selling this Buddha statue.
Such a large and so exquisite ivory sculpture, if it were placed in the Burmese home, it would definitely be worshipped like a treasure, saying that it was worshipped at night, but at Tan Guanghui's home, it was only under the bed for decades. The old man
When I was bored during my lifetime, I occasionally took it out and used it "think back then".
Thinking of this, Tan Guanghui said, "I said this thing can be sold, but this thing has been kept at my house for many years. In our domestic terms, it is just antiques? At this price, it cannot be based on these crafts.
To calculate the price, 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 need to take a closer look. This ivory sculpture seems to have traces of repair..."
Wang Ding's thoughts at this time were all focused on the ivory carving ornaments. According to the habit of bargaining for items to be bought, he answered casually, but as soon as he said that, he regretted it. If the stall owner saw something, then
I'll lose a lot.
"Oh, are you talking about that crack? I had it when I was young. Maybe my grandfather accidentally cracked it before, so this shouldn't affect it, right?"
After hearing Wang Ding's words, Tan Guanghui couldn't help but feel nervous. Since he decided to sell it, he naturally wanted to sell it at a high price. If Wang Ding talks about the crack, Tan Guanghui really doesn't know how to bargain.
After all, he knows nothing about antiques.
"It doesn't affect it, but the overall shape of this ivory carving ornament is very good. It's normal to have a flaw. I won't be too nervous about it because of this. Let me take a look, Brother Tan
You can also estimate the price first, let’s talk about it later..." After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Ding calmed down.
Wang Ding now focused on the repair surface. He found that the repair surface and the materials used inside should be milky white silicone. After a long time, it was slightly yellowed. If it weren't for the other way, it would be
It is really difficult to detect if you can see it simply with your eyes. Moreover, this silicone seems to be a little different, which is exactly the suspicious point.
You should know that latex was only popular in the early last century. This material could not be found in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The wax balls in this ivory ornament were unique to the ancient Chinese secret message transmission method.
Since the Qing Dynasty, we have switched to a secret letter sealed with fire paint. The combination of these two completely aberrant things in the era makes Wang Ding a little confused. What secret is hidden?
Tan Guanghui was also thinking about the price. When he finally thought about it, he saw Wang Ding still watching and asked, "Boss, do you still want this thing? That's really not a problem."
"I want."
Wang Ding made a decision that the paper ball inside the wax ball, by looking at it, would never be able to recognize the font in it. If you want to figure it out, you can only take out the wax ball. First of all, you must let this ivory Buddha carving.
Only by becoming your own.
"Brother Tan, I want to buy it, I won't hide it from you anymore. This ivory Buddha sculpture should be an old thing from ** before, and it can be regarded as an antique. I like this item very much. It's good to put it at home, and it's the one.
I don’t want to say anything more. In short, you can offer a price. If it is appropriate, we will make a deal..."
Because of Tan Guanghui's attitude, Wang Ding was afraid that he would not be willing to sell it anymore. In order to show his sincerity, he bluntly said that the object was an antique. But in the era, Wang Ding made a small trick, and he only said it was ** before
, but it was not said that this object might be something from the Ming Dynasty.
"I don't know much about this... I didn't know much. I thought about it for a long time just now. If you really want it, give this price..."
After hesitating for a while, Tan Guanghui stretched out two fingers.
Seeing Tan Guanghui's gesture, Wang Ding asked, "Twenty thousand dollars? Is this a bit expensive? You really..."
While talking, he frowned. He pretended to be like this. By the way, this thing was verified in China. If it could be found out, it would be normal to buy seven or eight million yuan.
When doing business, you have to bargain, so Wang Ding naturally has to lower the price.
But Wang Ding didn't notice. After he said the price of 20,000 US dollars, the pupils in Tan Guanghui's eyes instantly contracted. This was a normal reaction when people were surprised. Tan Guanghui didn't think that Wang Ding had little money, but this
The price scared him, and the meaning of his two fingers was only two thousand dollars.
You should know that ivory carvings are very common in Myanmar. Although the ivory material of this ornament is not small, there are also some items larger than this in Myanmar, and the price is only one or two thousand US dollars, and the per capita income in Myanmar is
Very low, one or two thousand dollars, enough for the family's expenses for several years.
Tan Guanghui set up a stall here to do business, and the money he earned in a month was only a few hundred dollars. If Wang Ding said 20,000 US dollars, that would be a huge sum of money for Tan Guanghui. He was excited,
Excited, but how could Tan Guanghui tell Wang Ding that he was talking about two thousand dollars. But the devil was one foot taller, and Tan Guanghui didn't know that Wang Ding had even more accurate Tan Guanghui's pulse.
"Wang...Boss Wang, you can be cheaper, or you can see if you want to... or do you think I can do it? My things are passed down by my grandfather. If my grandfather is still alive, I wouldn't have sold them...
”
Tan Guanghui was so excited that he was a little stuttering when he spoke. He was afraid that Wang Ding would not buy it, so he took the initiative to drop two thousand dollars, and said that this was his grandfather's relics.
"Ten thousand eight..."
Wang Ding muttered, then looked around the Buddha carving, nodded heavily, and said, "It's a fate to meet Brother Tan. It's 18,000, only 18,000, but
Brother Tan, can this thing be taken out of the country? If I am confiscated by customs, it would be unfair..."
Wang Ding didn't know whether Myanmar prohibited the export of such items. If it was really as he said, it would be worth it if it bought it and confiscated it.
Seeing the big business agreement, Tan Guanghui shook his hand quickly, "No, no, let's do it, little brother, wait a moment, I'll go and get you an invoice for crafts..." Tan Guanghui didn't know this.
The export of things is prohibited, but he knew that as long as the things bought in Myanmar were invoiced by state-owned stores, they could definitely be taken out.
Tan Guanghui greeted a familiar stall owner at the stall next to him and asked him to help take care of it. Then he excitedly ran to the state-owned store at the entrance of the Great Jintao.
At this time, Wang Ding carefully reappeared and looked at the Buddha carvings, and Bi Yue slowly came to Wang Ding. He had been talking to the stall owner just now, but Bi Yuesuo didn't interrupt, but he saw Wang Ding spending ten thousand yuan.
Bi Yue was still a little puzzled when he bought the Buddha sculpture for eight dollars.
"Wang Ding, is it worth it if you spend more than 100,000 yuan to buy this thing?"
Bi Yue saw Wang Ding stroking the ivory statue up and down, and asked in confusion. In her opinion, most of the things sold at these tourist attractions were fake. Wang Ding took it out immediately.
After going out for more than 110,000 yuan, maybe he would be killed by Tan Guanghui.
As the saying goes: When fellow villagers have a shot from behind, there are only the most Chinese people who come to Myanmar to travel. If you want to say that Tan Guanghui will treat Chinese people differently, Bi Yue doesn't believe it. Businessmen are pursuing profits and slaughtering them.
It's your own person.
Wang Ding knew that Bi Yue was concerned about Wang Ding, so Bi Yue didn't say much when he bought it, but he always wanted to relieve the doubts in his heart.
Looking at Bi Yue looking at herself expectantly, Wang Ding said, "It's worth it, of course it's worth it. Handmade carvings have heated up in recent years. Such large and complete ivory carvings are rare in China. In recent years,
The prices of ivory carvings and crafts have also risen very well. Maybe it can double it if you take them back..."
Wang Ding didn't dare to say too much. If he said that this thing was worth seven or eight million, it would definitely shock Bi Yue. Wang Ding felt like it was so large
Objects and some domestic information will definitely be recorded.
"As long as you don't lose money," Bi Yue said with confidence, otherwise it would be wrong for him to bring Wang Ding to the Great Golden Tower.
The two of them were admiring the Buddha sculptures together. At this time, Tan Guanghui hurriedly ran back. He was holding a rectangular box made of bamboo in his hand. It looked like the size of the Buddha statue was just enough to hold the ivory sculpture. This is a specialty of Myanmar.
The bamboo box costs thirty or forty dollars per box, which was bought by Tan Guanghui for gifting to Wang Ding.
Wang Ding put his hands together and together with Tan Guanghui, carefully placed the ivory-carved Buddha statue horizontally into the bamboo box, and then stuffed sponges and scrap newspapers around it. The bamboo box itself had a bullet name. In this way,
Even if some collision occurs, the objects inside will not be damaged.
"Boss, this is the invoice, please take it..." After packing it up, Tan Guanghui pushed the box to Wang Ding and handed over the invoice he had just issued. It was written in Burmese, and Wang Ding couldn't understand it, so he took it
After the invoice was issued, it was handed over to Bi Yue.
Bi Yue is in Yunbian all year round and has been in contact with Bi Jiahao in Myanmar business, but she knows the Myanmar invoices.
Bi Yue looked at the invoice, nodded, handed the $18,000 that had been counted just now to Tan Guanghui, and picked up the box from the ground. There was a handle on the bamboo box, holding it.
Very convenient.
"Thank you."
"Yeah, no thanks, goodbye!"
...With this big box, I can't walk around again. Fortunately, the Big Golden Tower has been visited, and Wang Ding and Bi Yue didn't want to continue doing anything here. Wang Ding carried the box, and Bi Yue followed behind him
After the two of them came out, they took a taxi and returned to the hotel.
The Myanmar Jade Public Market is scheduled to open on November 5th, and most businessmen at home and abroad arrived in Yangon today. After Wang Ding walked into the hotel, he saw many familiar faces, and the gambling circle was just like that.
There are only a few famous jewelry companies, and it is difficult to encounter them if you can’t.
However, Wang Ding did not see Sun Qian, Wu Baipo and others. However, the Emperor Jewelry did come, but he didn't know Wang Ding, so it didn't matter.
Wang Ding has also released information that he may still be alive, and there is no need to be a dying rhythm of clothes.
Moreover, Wang Ding has also received news from Gancheng in the past two days, that is, he learned that he might still be alive, and Wu Baipo and Sun Qian in Dashang#hai Entertainment City are already in trouble.
The mission of killing failed. After leaving Macau, Sun Qian and Wu Baipo were unable to take action. They had to bless themselves to not find evidence of their killing of Wang Ding.
But will everything be the same as they expected?
.....
Stop and stop, followed Bi Yue and greeted the wool merchants from China. When he arrived at the elevator, Wang Ding quickly got in. When he returned to the hotel, Wang Ding couldn't wait to uncover the secrets of the ivory carving, but he went out.
After a trip, my whole body was sticky and uncomfortable, so I went to the bathroom and went to take a shower first.
When Wang Ding came out, the statue of the ivory carved Buddha had been placed on the table in the living room, and Qian Le was observing carefully.
"Wang Ding, I heard from Sister Bi Yue that you have picked up an ivory Buddha sculpture. Why can't I see this Buddha sculpture? It can be worth hundreds of thousands? Are you coaxing Sister Bi Yue?"
Qian Le had been wandering around the ivory carving for several times just now, but the shape was just a little special. He couldn't see it. Why is this thing that cannot be eaten or drunk? Why is it so valuable?
"Hundreds of thousands? Haha, Qian Le, there is another zero to add..."
Wang Ding laughed proudly. As the saying goes, antiques in troubled times, these things are worthless in times of chaos and chaos, and they are all cumbersome. But in today's world, they are priceless treasures. In short, Wang Ding will not do it.
This thing was sold.
"How many millions?"
Qian Le's lips squirmed for a moment, and looked at the Buddhist sculpture in disbelief, "Just this thing, he can be worth millions, Brother Wang Ding, aren't you joking?"
"What am I talking about laughing to you? Have you ever joked so seriously?"
Qian Le was even more interested. He knew how Wang Ding’s money came about. If it was as he said, just go out and get millions of dollars, which is not a fortune that ordinary people can have.
Qian Le was thinking about getting started quickly and helping Wang Ding’s antique shop. With this skill, he would never worry about it in his life. “Brother Wang Ding, tell me quickly, why are there millions?
”
"In fact, it doesn't matter how much it is worth. I didn't think I would sell it. I probably can't find a few items in China... I want to put them in a museum in Beijing to offer them."
Wang Ding had already focused on the ivory carving at this time. He was thinking about how to open the repaired "door" and take out the wax balls inside. Of course, Wang Ding didn't want to damage this one.
Buddha carvings, otherwise they would throw them to the ground and listen to the sound, and they would take them out.
"Brother Wang Ding, I really can't understand this ivory Buddhist sculpture. What's different about it? Tell me, can I get a disciple in your antique shop?"
Wang Ding smiled, "To see if something is an antique, you should look at it from the most basic point of view. You are logically based on the basics, but you just lack observation, so take your time."
"All right."
Qian Le is really in a state of learning and stage at present. He nodded and followed Wang Ding's gaze and noticed the ivory carving on the Buddha carving.
Really, after just a careful observation, Qian Le could see a little different situation.
"Brother Wang Ding, it seems that I saw a little, did you notice it? This..."
Dongdongdongdongdongdong, at this time, the door rang a few times, and before Wang Ding and Qian Le could open the door, the door had already opened.
