They are all reborn, and the grandson is still a spare tire

The Chinese gangster wanted to ask more questions, but Xiao Ran was too lazy to pay attention to them and turned a deaf ear to them.

He walked up to the antique shop owner, shook hands, said hello, got to know each other, exchanged a few polite words, and then followed him into the antique shop.

He just saw the situation in this antique shop clearly through X-ray vision.

I knew that this antique shop was not dangerous and that it had some very nice antique artworks, so I decided to go in and take a look.

If you can find a leak, that would be great.

Even if you don't find any leaks, it's still a good pastime.

Seeing Xiao Ran enter the antique shop, the Chinese gangsters also wanted to follow in to see what was going on.

In addition to them, there were several professionals in the field of antique art collection in Amsterdam who had heard the news and wanted to follow suit!

As a result, without exception, these guys were all stopped by security personnel and were unable to enter.

Those professionals still wanted to protest, but it was useless!

Then, a clerk from the antique shop came out and told everyone present that no other customers would be served for the time being!

Faced with such a result, everyone at the scene had no choice but to nod and accept it.

What can we do if we don’t accept it? Who dares to force their way in?

In an antique shop.

Xiao Ran chatted with the antique shop owner while looking around the store.

In fact, this was not one of the famous antique shops he wanted to visit tonight, but it was the first one he came across, so he came in to take a look!

In this antique shop, there are a large number of so-called Chinese antiques and artworks.

And just as the label on the window shows, the variety is quite complete, covering almost every category of Chinese antique collection, even inscriptions and antique furniture.

But the authenticity and value of these so-called Chinese antiques and artworks is another matter!

In Xiao Ran's eyes, the authenticity and value of everything in this antique shop are clear at a glance!

In addition to a large number of so-called Chinese antiques and artworks, there are also some Western oil paintings and sculptures, as well as other so-called antique artworks.

As an antique shop located in a tourist area, there are many tourist souvenirs, modern handicrafts, etc., all displayed close to the door.

Because there were so many goods, the antique shop seemed quite crowded, but fortunately there was still room to stay.

Moreover, the lighting is relatively bright, unlike the antique shops in China and Hong Kong and Macau, which deliberately dim the lighting to test the buyers' eyesight.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had already scanned the antique shop.

Then, he looked at the junk placed near the door, then pointed to a wooden sculpture against the wall and said:

"Boss Liao, can you tell me about this Water Moon Guanyin statue? Where did this wood carving come from?"

"Judging from the paint left on this wood carving, it should be a painted Water Moon Guanyin statue, but unfortunately the paint has basically peeled off!"

The Water Moon Guanyin statue he was referring to is a classic seated Guanyin statue, about 1.23 meters tall, with beautiful shape, elegance and kindness!

It’s a pity that the painted exterior of this Water Moon Guanyin statue has basically peeled off, with only a small amount left.

There are also some traces of knives and axes on the surface, which shows that it has gone through a lot of hardships and is very mottled!

Fortunately, this wooden statue of Water Moon Guanyin is relatively intact and has no missing arms or legs.

Following Xiao Ran's actions, everyone looked at the statue of Water Moon Guanyin.

The antique shop owner was naturally the same, and there was a hint of curiosity and suspicion in his eyes.

After a brief pause, Boss Liao began to explain the situation.

"This wooden statue of Water Moon Guanyin was given to me by a friend. He originally had an antique shop in Rotterdam, but the shop closed down at the beginning of the year, so he gave this statue of Water Moon Guanyin to me."

"In addition to this wooden statue of Guanyin, there are many other items in my store that also came from this friend's antique shop. Some were consigned, and some were directly transferred to me."

Xiao Ran nodded and said in a daze:

"I was wondering why there were so many things in the store, and there was almost no place to put them. It turns out that things from two stores were placed in one place!"

"Due to the current special situation, antique shops are in a bad business and many are going bankrupt. It seems that your old friend is one of them."

"That's true. Many antique shops have closed down in the past two years. I'm also struggling to keep them afloat. I don't know how long I can hold on!"

Boss Liao smiled wryly and nodded, then returned to the topic.

The Water-Moon Guanyin is a Buddhist statue unique to China. Needless to say, this statue of the Water-Moon Guanyin comes from China.

Judging from its mottled appearance, it seems to be an antique with a certain history.

Boss Liao's old friend has studied this Guanyin statue. Based on its shape and carving techniques, he believes that it is a Dongyang wood carving.

Judging from the remaining painted paint on the Guanyin statue, he believes that this wood carving was created in the middle or late Qing Dynasty.

As for the origin of this Guanyin statue, it was found by an old Dutch man in his barn in the suburbs of Rotterdam.

According to the old Dutch man, this wood sculpture has been thrown in his barn for at least thirty years and no one has ever paid attention to it!

I found out from this statue of Water Moon Guanyin that until now, very few people are interested in it.

There is a main reason for this. Due to the current special circumstances, there have been almost no Chinese tourists visiting Amsterdam in more than a year.

The antique market in Amsterdam's Chinatown has naturally become very depressed.

Such a unique Chinese statue of Guanyin of Water and Moon is even less popular!

Just as Boss Liao was introducing the situation, Xiao Ran walked forward and pretended to examine the Guanyin statue carefully for a while.

After Boss Liao finished his introduction, he thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Give me a quote, Mr. Liao. I'm interested in this wooden statue of Guanyin of Water and Moon. I want to buy it and study it."

"what!"

Boss Liao exclaimed, looked at Xiao Ran in surprise, and then looked at the wooden sculpture of Water Moon Guanyin.

It's just a wood-carved Water-Moon Guanyin from the mid- or late Qing Dynasty. With this young man's top collection level and vision, how could he be interested in it?

Or is there something fishy about this wooden sculpture of Water Moon Guanyin? Is it my own fault in dating it? It has clearly been carbon-14 tested!

Through carbon-14 testing, it was found that the remaining painted paint on the wood carvings was indeed from the mid-Qing Dynasty.

Another possibility is that this wooden sculpture of Water Moon Guanyin is a work by a famous artist, but I cannot recognize it.

That's why Xiao Ran bought this wood carving.

Boss Liao muttered a few words to himself and hesitated for a moment before giving a quote.

"The price of this Water Moon Guanyin statue is 20,000 Euros, Mr. Xiao, if you can accept this offer, it will be yours."

Although he had his doubts, Boss Liao did not ask for an exorbitant price, or rather, he did not dare to!

He knew in his heart that the young man in front of him was a super genius who had never appeared in the antique business before, and he knew the value of all antiques, cultural relics and artworks!

Trying the trick of asking for a high price and then paying back the money in front of this young man is just a sheer joke and will only make you laugh.

Even so, the offer given by Boss Liao was a little high, but not much higher!

To his surprise, Xiao Ran accepted the offer without any hesitation.

"Okay, 20,000 Euros, Boss Liao, deal!"

As he spoke, he shook hands with Boss Liao and concluded the art deal.

Boss Liao was a little confused, and it was not until the handshake was over that he reacted.

Then, he suddenly felt his heart tighten, as if he had lost a priceless treasure.

"Mr. Xiao, does this wooden sculpture of Water Moon Guanyin have any secrets? Can you tell me about it?"
