Chen Hee paused here, then raised his head and glanced at Lin Xi. Seeing that he was still calm and composed, he couldn't help but raise his opinion a bit more, "However, this Quasi Consonance is still somewhat lacking in beauty, not only is the magical equipment in his arms a little lost due to the passage of time, the bottom of this Quasi-Guanyin should originally have had the base of a lotus flower, which has already been lost, causing its price to be reduced greatly, so my estimate, should be around one hundred thousand yuan."
A long time ago, many people in our country put Buddha statues in their homes to worship in order to obtain spiritual comfort. Since the spring wind of the 1980s, which was reformed and spread throughout the Divine Land, the Buddha statues' collection has become more and more extensive. There are also many people who like to cherish small Buddhist statues from ancient times and appreciate them as works of art.
The collection of Buddha statues could also be divided into three categories: the ancient bronze gilded buddhist statue, the wooden carved buddhist statue, the embroidered buddhist statue, the ceramic buddhist statue, the jade buddhist statue and the buddhist book. There were also a few skillfully crafted Bodhisattva statue, Arhat elephant and Damodi elephant that were included in the collection.
Interestingly, however, the international collection of Buddha statues seemed to have taken place much earlier than at home. In Germany, for example, Chinese Buddha statues were as popular in the auction as Chinese porcelain, especially some foreign collectors with a certain understanding of Chinese culture.
In the fall of 2004, for example, the famous Nargau auction company in Germany auctioned 124 pieces of Buddha statue, which eventually sold 67 pieces, with a transaction rate of 54%. One of them, which was estimated to be between 60 thousand and 80 thousand euros, was sold for 220 thousand euros at a price nearly four times that of the estimated value.
It is worth mentioning that in the ancient sculptures and works of art in China, religious idols occupied an important position as a kind of religious objects, especially Buddhist statues. More than 2,000 years ago, Buddhism began to spread into our country and has had a profound impact on our history and culture. Since the 16th century, the majority of Buddhist people in our country have been keen on making Buddha statues. Since then, statues, statues, portraits, engravings and printed Buddha statues related to the Buddhist faith have gradually developed into an important art category in China.
All kinds of Buddha statues that had been passed down from generation to generation were made of extremely rich materials. Among them, the golden, bronze, and stone Buddha statues were the most treasured by the later generations. But because of the inheritance, the art value of the stone Buddha statue before the Tang Dynasty was the highest, but it was extremely rare in the collection market. Most of the statues we could come in contact with were made of gold and mainly in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In addition, since the arrival of the Han Dynasty, the Buddha statues have always had very clear features of the times, and this was also the main basis for their appraisal.
Chen Hee had just finished estimating the price, but before he could say anything, Ang Youyong had already jumped up and cried out in shock, "One hundred thousand … Uncle Chen, are you sure you're not mistaken? How can such a unassuming copper lump be worth one hundred thousand yuan? "Don't lie to us brothers."
"Do you think I'm you, little bastard? If you don't learn how to glib every day, you can look for your father tomorrow." Hearing Ang Youyong's words, Chen Hee's face darkened, he could no longer maintain his virtuous and noble demeanor, and started cursing out loud, but quickly recovered, "However, the market price of this Buddha statue is indeed around one hundred thousand, maybe a little higher, but not much higher."
In truth, it was no wonder that Ang Youyong was surprised. After all, to him, it was really hard to imagine that an insignificant black lump like this could be worth a hundred thousand dollars. But even so, he was feeling happy for Lin Xi, because this meant that his brother would be rich soon.
As for Chen Hee, he had been so used to it since he was young. Chen Hee knew him very well, so it was merely the fight between the elders and juniors.
Saying that, Chen Hee suddenly looked at Lin Xi, as though he was looking forward to it: "Lin Xi, are you interested in selling this Quasi? "I'm willing to pay one hundred and twenty thousand yuan. As long as you agree to it, we can trade immediately."
However, just as Chen Hee's voice fell, Qin Yu stood up with a proud look on his face: "Elder Chen, then you're late, I've already agreed with Lin Xi that after the appraisal results, you have to give me priority. Elder Chen, do you like it, but I don't want to beat around the bush with you, Lin Xi, this Buddha is like a hundred and fifty thousand yuan, I want it, please speak frankly."
Feeling Qin Yu and Chen Hee's earnest gazes on him at the same time, Lin Xi could only bitterly smile in his heart. Even in his dreams, he had thought that the Buddha statue he had bought with a small amount of money was actually being fought over by two great figures today: "Old Master Chen, this brat had indeed promised Brother Yu that day. This is not a matter of money, but rather, it is a matter of reputation. In fact, when I bought this Buddha statue, I only bought it for these five Green Pine Rocks, and only found out that it was a real object after Old Master Chen appraised it. I only picked it up because I missed it, so I hope that Old Master Chen can forgive me.
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Chen Hee sighed lightly, but he suddenly thought of something, and his gaze lit up as he looked at the Brocade Box beside Lin Xi, and laughed carefree and unrestrained: "So it turns out that it was already decided by Qin Si, no wonder why you stubbornly insisted for us two old bones to come here. I think it is not to help Lin Xi appraise, but rather, it is for you, Qin Si, to appraise.
Moreover, his gaze would always fall on Zhang Zhiyan's body from time to time, but he saw that Zhang Zhiyan's gaze would always fall on him again, and in addition, there would always be a warm and gentle gaze coming from between his brows. Every time he looked up to here, the more Zhang Senxu confirmed the thoughts in his heart, and he could not help but silently lament: "Oh, misdemeanor, truly misdemeanor!"
However, what Zhang Senxu did not know was that he only knew one reason but not the other.
The reason why Zhang Zhiyan's gaze was always on Lin Xi, was because she was curious about the faint smile that always wore, and never felt complacent about the praise towards her appraisal. Or perhaps, after finding out that she had missed it out, Lin Xi did not have that kind of wild excitement.
