Live broadcast of treasure appraisal, congratulations to the eldest brother for getting the prison m

Chen Yanguang and Wang Jianye, one is a complete layman, the other is half full of water.

They didn't know that Shi Tianzhang was a master of bamboo carving. The price of his signature bamboo carvings was usually very high, so when they saw the auction price of more than 10 million, they were shocked:

Damn it! Who is this person named Shi? Are carved things so expensive?

When the two of them looked at the Arhat statue in Wang Guosheng's hand, their eyes were different.

Don't fall!

Here, Master Wang also encountered difficulties.

"Zhang Yang, you are really going to give me problems!"

The old man said leisurely, but there was doubt in his tone, but more excitement.

"Jianye, get my reading glasses quickly."

"Although I haven't seen Shi Tianzhang's inscription on this Arhat statue, judging from the technique, there is a high probability that it was actually carved by him."

"By the way, Zhang Yang, where did you see it?" Wang Guosheng looked at Zhang Yang.

This is a good question, Zhang Yangxin said, you finally asked the right person.

I can’t tell you that I cheated, right?

Fortunately, he had the experience of being "tortured" by Master Wang last time. Before coming this time, Zhang Yang specially prepared a speech. This Arhat statue was of course the top priority.

"I have seen an Eighteen Arhat Shanzi made by Shi Tianzhang at an auction before. The style is quite similar to this Arhat statue."

"I thought at the time that it was okay that the carvings were so similar, and that it was such a coincidence that it happened to be from the mid-Qing Dynasty. Is there a possibility that it is really Shi Tianzhang's work?"

"So after I came back, I checked carefully and found that this Jiading bamboo carving master carved many boxwood Arhat statues in his later years."

"I'm about 70% sure that this thing is right."

"I believe in your judgment." Wang Guosheng nodded and put on his reading glasses: "But we have to look for more convincing evidence."

"The best thing is to have his signature."

Master Wang said, and began to carefully examine every place on the Arhat statue.

The remaining three people, including Zhang Yang, lowered their breathing for fear of disturbing him.

After a long while, the old man shook his head: "There is no payment."

"The items are in very good condition. Apart from the peeling paint, there are no signs of chipping or scratching anywhere."

"But it also shows that if there is a signature, it must not have been destroyed."

"Then there's no way to prove that this thing is the one who used it?" Chen Yanguang asked curiously.

"Absolutely. Although my uncle can prove it if he issues a certificate of appraisal, the risk is too high."

What Wang Jianye gave is the common practice in the industry. To put it simply, Master Wang used an autographed appraisal report to endorse the provenance of the statue, and then sold it at a high price.

Once it overturns, Master Wang's reputation will be damaged.

"Oh, that's such a pity." Chen Yanguang said with regret.

Those present were all sensible people. They knew that since Wang Guosheng did not answer Wang Jianye's words, it meant that the old man had no intention of doing so.

Zhang Yang took the statue from Master Wang and looked at it again. It was indeed not signed.

And because most of the gold paint has peeled off, the image of the Arhat statue is not very good either.

"Zhang Yang, you said, if we add all the gold on the statue and cover all the wooden parts, can we sell it at a higher price?"

Chen Yanguang stood beside Zhang Yang and had a sudden idea.

Zhang Yang laughed when he heard it, and said subconsciously: "The golden paint painted on the back is not the wood carving..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly had a guess and stopped talking.

"It's not what?" Wang Jianye asked.

Zhang Yang didn't reply, but looked at the place where the golden paint remained on the statue.

"Teacher, do you have a small carving knife? I want to see if there is anything under the paint."

"Under the paint?" When Wang Guosheng heard this, he was confused at first, but after thinking about it for a moment, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, yes, it's probably covered by paint."

"Jianye, go get my knife quickly."

There are experienced experts here, so professional matters should be left to professionals.

As the carving knife in Master Wang's hand slowly moved, the golden paint on the surface of the wood carving was peeled off bit by bit, and the golden powder sprinkled on the table, shining brightly.

But everyone's attention was focused on the place where the carving knife fell.

"Shi, Tian, ​​Zhang, Ke."

Four Chinese characters in small regular script appear next to the raised arm of the Arhat statue and the folds of his clothes below the side.

"Wuhu!" Chen Yanguang jumped up happily.

"Awesome!" Wang Jianye praised softly.

Zhang Yang and Master Wang looked at each other and smiled.

"Teacher, it seems that some ancient people were ignorant."

"Yes." Master Wang stroked his long beard: "Fortunately, you persisted, otherwise the pearl would be covered in dust."

…

In the evening, Chen Yanguang drove Zhang Yang back to school.

On the back seat were the [Duoyan Guard Commander Si Zhi Yin] and [Shi Tianzhang Boxwood Carved Arhat Statue] that he had just bought.

"My future father-in-law should be satisfied with these two things!"

"A statue of an Arhat is beautiful and valuable, showing my sincerity; a golden talisman that touches the captain fits his identity."

Chen Yanguang's logic in buying things made Zhang Yang shake his head.

"Brother, that's the seal of the Commander-in-Chief. It was issued in the 22nd year of Hongwu when the Duoyan Guards were first established. It has nothing to do with what you said about touching the gold captain."

"When you go out and talk nonsense, don't say I told you."

Chen Yanguang nodded as if he understood: "I understand, then let's say it is the seal of General Faqiu."

"Do you think your future father-in-law is a fool?"

Zhang Yang finally figured it out, Chen Yanguang wanted to fool the ghost.

"How is that possible? Can you show Captain Mo Jin some respect?" Chen Yanguang said with a smile.

"I recently learned about the life of my future father-in-law. Oh, he is really a talent."

"He is a rich second generation like me, but he always thinks about illegal things like tomb robbing. In the end, he was coerced into a tomb robbing gang and used a sewing machine for seven years."

"After he came out, he wanted to write his autobiography and become famous. However, he accidentally exposed the things he didn't confess before he was imprisoned, and he was arrested and jailed for more than half a year."

"Killing me!"

"Now he has no status at all in their family. He just eats and waits to die."

"So I dare say that he will definitely like this Faqiu Yin."

After hearing these words, Zhang Yang had a subtle expression on his face.

Because the paragraph about "writing an autobiography and being imprisoned twice" was removed, Chen Yanguang and his future father-in-law seemed to be looking in the mirror.

They are also the second generation of rich people, they also always think about illegal things like tomb robbing, and they also have no status in the family...

Maybe this is the legendary match made in heaven?

"Then when you get engaged, remember to notify me and I will give you a big red envelope." Zhang Yang mentioned it to Chen Yanguang before getting out of the car.

"Absolutely, you will definitely be included in the wedding banquet." Chen Yanguang agreed.

"By the way, do you remember the second eldest brother you sent in before?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yang was stunned, and quickly remembered the brother who jumped with an oxygen bottle on his back: "He wanted to go in by himself, okay? What does it have to do with me?"

"It's all the same." Chen Yanguang chuckled: "He chatted with me privately a few days ago and wanted to ask you if he could add you as a personal friend. He has a big job and wanted to see if you were interested."

"What kind of work?"

"He didn't say anything. He said he could only tell Master Zhang himself."

"Let him line up...forget it, you'd better push my business card to him."

Zhang Yang thought for a while and decided that for a "big job" it would be best to understand the risks before going live.

Thank you for the 100 coin reward, and thank you brothers for your monthly and recommended votes!
