Chapter 1066: Statue of the God of Wealth
The owner of the antique shop finally took Zhou Yi and the two to a display cabinet, where dozens of large and small Buddha statues were placed. If you look closely, there are not only Buddha statues, but also the God of Wealth, the Earth God, etc.
The boss pointed to the statue of the God of Wealth and said: "For business people, nothing is more important than money, so it is very appropriate to give your grandpa a statue of the God of Wealth."
Zhou Yi nodded. A statue of the God of Wealth just catered to Ying Rulong's two interests, antiques and business. There was really nothing more suitable than this. The boss still understood.
Luo Ning's beautiful eyes also lit up, and she immediately asked Zhou Yi to pick one.
Zhou Yi looked around, a green light flashed deep in his eyes, and finally concluded that only nearly [-]% of the dozens of sculptures were old objects. He didn't understand antiques, so he didn't know what the probability was.
But there is still something real.
Zhou Yi picked up the real one casually, and the boss's expression suddenly changed. Fortunately, Zhou Yi quickly put it down.
Luo Ning said on the side: "Even if you are serious about it, you won't buy it. It's dark and ugly. My grandpa will definitely not like it."
"I think this looks good."
Luo Ning stretched out her slender hand and took out a statue of the God of Wealth. This statue was glowing dark red. It held an ingot in its left hand and Ruyi in its right hand. It had a ribbon around its waist and Han boots on its feet. It stood on the cornucopia pedestal. The clothes are engraved with auspicious cloud patterns.
The smile on the God of Wealth's face is lifelike. At first glance, he looks like a kind and kind old man, as if he is coming to life. The details are delicate and full, which also represents the profound skill of the sculptor.
The antique shop owner's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he flattered her quickly: "Beauty, you have really good taste."
"This statue of the God of Wealth is an old object. The material is small-leaf red sandalwood, which is very precious and rare. Look at the carving skills. The author was definitely a master carver in that era."
"I was also lucky. I bought it from an old farmer. Otherwise, I would never have encountered such a good thing."
Luo Ning's pretty face lit up after hearing this. Anyone who is praised will lower their guard: "How much does this cost?"
The owner of the antique shop looked troubled: "To be honest, I am also a businessman. The God of Wealth is like auspiciousness. I didn't want to sell this to myself, but seeing as you are going to give it to my grandpa, filial piety comes first, so I will bite the bullet." , reluctantly parting ways, sell it."
"The price I collected from the old farmer was [-], but I had to make some money no matter what."
"One price, one million, all together!"
Luo Ning immediately calmed down a lot when she heard the price. Although her annual salary was very high after joining the Peony Group, she still had a lot of money left from selling the company, so she could naturally spend one million.
But it's still not a small amount to her.
"Honey, what do you think?" Luo Ning only thought of Zhou Yi at this moment. She almost forgot that she was a rookie.
Zhou Yi shook his head. The boss just described the material of the God of Wealth statue as small-leaf red sandalwood. It was made by everyone...
Zhou Yi didn't know if these were true. He only knew that this was not an old thing, and Ying Rulong probably didn't like it very much.
Seeing Zhou Yi shaking his head, the owner of the antique shop looked a little anxious, then turned his head and looked, and continued:
"Forget it, who made us predestined? Let's do this. Instead of a million, the God of Wealth statue is just for good luck."
"Eight hundred and eighty thousand, this number is auspicious enough!"
"If you are still dissatisfied, there is nothing I can do. This price is already my bottom line."
Zhou Yi still wanted to say something, but suddenly a surprised voice came from behind him: "This statue of the God of Wealth costs [-]?"
"Boss, you are a philanthropist, you are too cheap!"
A middle-aged man wearing a prince's mirror and a simple robe, who looked like a fortune teller, came over.
He looked at the God of Wealth statue chosen by Luo Ning with surprise on his face, then took off his prince's mirror, holding a magnifying glass in one hand and the God of Wealth statue in the other, observing carefully without missing any detail.
There are words in the mouth:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the material is high-quality small-leaf red sandalwood. It is at least a hundred and fifty years old. The God of Wealth has a kind and kind face. This is a sign of good fortune. The carving skills are profound and delicate. It was definitely made by everyone. The shape matches that time. It’s custom-made and has no traces of old age. It’s genuine and a treasure.”
The middle-aged man, who looked like a fortune teller, said something similar to what his boss just said. He praised the God of Wealth statue again. Zhou Yi wanted to laugh when he saw it, and Luo Ning vaguely reacted.
She has been in business for so many years and has never encountered any situation. The reason why she didn't react just now is because she has become dependent on Zhou Yi. Anyway, with Zhou Yi by her side, she doesn't want to waste time on it. But now looking at these two people, Looking at Zhou Yi's eyes again, Luo Ning understood that these two people were most likely directing and acting.
The middle-aged man dressed as a fortune teller did not know that he had been exposed. He carefully put down the statue of the God of Wealth and muttered: "The most rare and valuable thing is the integrity of the preservation of this statue of the God of Wealth. I saw it last time in the imperial capital. , similar to this statue of the God of Wealth, but it was damaged, but in the end it was photographed..."
Before the price could be spoken, the fortune teller-like middle-aged man pretended to be afraid of leaking and quickly shut his mouth.
Zhou Yi looked interested and said, "Brother, how much did the Imperial Capital piece cost in the end?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't sell much. I must have remembered it wrong. It seems that the auction was rejected in the end."
Seeing that Zhou Yi had taken the bait, the owner of the antique shop quickly looked at the middle-aged man and said, "This brother, an expert, is almost right. Looking at your outfit, could you be someone from the antique industry?"
The middle-aged man put on the prince's mirror again, showed an enigmatic look, and said modestly: "No one dares to take it seriously, but I still have good eyesight, and I haven't missed it in recent times."
The speaker walked up to the boss and deliberately lowered his voice, but it could be heard by Zhou Yi and others: "Boss, [-] is such a loss. I bought this statue of the God of Wealth for [-] million."
The boss pretended to be hesitant: "To tell you the truth, I felt that I was destined to these two young people, so I decided to earn less. Isn't your beard not in compliance with the rules...?"
The middle-aged man touched his beard and said, "How can this be considered beard cutting? These two young men didn't pay."
The owner of the antique shop hesitated and looked at Zhou Yi and the two of them.
Normally, when Zhou Yi and Zhou Yi see that their treasure is about to be snatched away, they will definitely say, "I came here first" and "I'll pay now"...
Then the middle-aged people argued for a while, and finally the boss made a decision, saying that everything should be done according to the rules, first come, first served.
Then the business is done.
But at this moment, neither Zhou Yi, who had seen through the plan, spoke, and the boss and the middle-aged man were both stunned.
Hey, why don't you follow the routine?
But don’t be afraid, there are still options!
The owner of the antique shop cleared his throat, looked at Zhou Yi and the two of them and said, "You two, we did not reach a transaction intention just now, so it is in line with the rules for me to sell to him now."
Zhou Yi nodded: "I'm still considering it."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Young man, there is no store like this after passing this village. I don't have time for you to think about it."
"Boss, I want this statue of Lord Cai!"
"A million is a million."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a wallet from his robe. The wallet was stuffed so full that it looked like the middle-aged man had been going through it for a while.
This time was deliberately reserved for Zhou Yi.
But Zhou Yi remained indifferent.
