    My account was locked yesterday, so I didn¡¯t update. Sorry, please subscribe ¡ª¡ª  ¡ª¡ª Wang Ding did not use special powers to identify it, so he could conclude that this ivory Buddha sculpture is definitely an old object with age. It should have been from the Qing Dynasty at the earliest, because not to mention the scarcity of ivory in modern times.  In the ** period, there were very few craftsmen with such skills, and they could be called master-level craftsmen.  Then, based on the layer of purple flame on the surface of the ivory, Wang Ding could infer that this era seemed to be older than the Qing Dynasty, and should be the Ming Dynasty!  At least it was an object from the Ming Dynasty At this point, Wang Ding looked at it more carefully.  Suddenly, Wang Ding was stunned by a picture.  "Eh? Why is there a crack?!" At this time, Wang Ding discovered that there was a crack of about five centimeters in size on the side of the ivory carving, under the arm, and it extended inward. It seemed that it had been repaired before, and it seemed that there was a crack there.  He opened the small round door and then closed it again.  "What is this?" Wang Ding continued to look in along the small door, and was suddenly even more shocked, because a piece of the chest of the Buddha statue was actually hollowed out, and inside  In that small space, there were two wax pills.  Naturally, this thing couldn't resist Wang Ding's perspective. When he looked through it, Wang Ding found that inside the wax pill were two small paper balls kneaded together. This made Wang Ding dumbfounded. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't tell the difference.  What exactly is written in the ball of paper?  At this time, Wang Ding was already very curious. The contents inside this Buddha sculpture were obviously hidden inside by later generations, and this mystery must be inside the two wax pills.  The secret could not be revealed, which made Wang Ding feel uncomfortable.  "Boss Wang, you want to buy this thing, right?" Wang Ding looked at it for a long time, and Tan Guanghui finally intervened and asked.  Wang Ding can¡¯t tell now, because Wang Ding is a little unsure about this crack.  "However, Wang Ding did not answer, but Tan Guanghui also had his own ideas.  In fact, Tan Guanghui was struggling for a while, but he decided to sell it. After all, this thing was kept at home and could not be used as food, and he grew up in an environment where he was surrounded by Chinese people, that is,**  , is also the daughter of a Chinese, and unlike those Burmese people, does not believe in Buddhism, so she does not feel there is anything wrong with selling this Buddha statue.  If such a large and exquisite tooth carving was placed in a Burmese home, it would be enshrined like a treasure and worshiped day and night. However, in Tan Guanghui's home, it was just kept under the bed for decades. The old man  When I was bored during my lifetime, I occasionally took it out to "reminisce about the past".  Thinking of this, Tan Guanghui said, "I said this thing can be sold, but it has been in my house for many years. In our domestic terms, it is an antique, right? At this price, it cannot be compared with these handicrafts.  Calculating 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 tooth carving seems to have been repaired.  Traces of passing" Wang Ding's thoughts at this time were all on the ivory carvings. According to the habit of bargaining when buying items, he answered casually. However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. If he was betrayed by this stall owner,  If you see any clues, you will suffer a big loss.  "Oh, you're talking about the cracked seal, right? I had it when I was a child. Maybe my grandfather accidentally cracked it before. This shouldn't affect it, right?" After Tan Guanghui heard Wang Ding's words,  He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Since he decided to sell, he naturally wanted to sell it at a high price. If Wang Ding used the crack as an excuse, Tan Guanghui really didn't know how to negotiate the price. After all, he knew nothing about antiques.  "It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, but the overall shape of this tooth carving is very good. It's normal to have a few flaws. I won't hold you back because of this. I won't hold you back because of this. I'll take another look, Brother Tan.  You can also estimate the price first, and we can discuss it later" After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Ding calmed down.  Wang Ding now focused his attention on the repair surface. He found that the repair surface and the materials used inside should be made of milky white silicone. After a long time, it would also turn slightly yellow.  It can be seen, but it is really not easy to detect simply by looking at it with your eyes.  Moreover, this silicone seems to be a little different, which is why it is suspicious.  You must know that latex was only popularly used in the early part of the last century. This material could not have been available in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, the wax pills in this ivory ornament were a unique method of transmitting secret messages in ancient China. It seems that  Since the Qing Dynasty, fire has been usedThe sealed letter was sealed, and the combination of these two completely unequal events made Wang Ding a little confused as to what secrets were hidden.  Tan Guanghui was also thinking about the price at this moment. When he finally thought about it, he saw Wang Ding still watching and asked, "Boss, do you still want this thing of mine? There's really nothing wrong with that."  "I want it." Wang Ding made up his mind. He could never recognize the fonts in the paper ball inside the wax pill just by looking at it. If he wanted to understand, he could only take out the wax pill. Then he had to let him know first.  This ivory Buddha sculpture can only be made into your own.  "Brother Tan, I want to buy it. I won't hide it from you. This ivory Buddha sculpture should be an old thing from before the **. It can be regarded as an antique. I like this object very much. It is good to display at home. And there is that  "I don't want to say anything more. Anyway, just make an offer. If it's suitable, we'll make a deal" Because of Tan Guanghui's initial attitude, Wang Ding was afraid that he would no longer be willing to sell. In order to show his sincerity, he said it bluntly.  This object is an antique, but in terms of age, Wang Ding played a trick. He only said that it was from before the Ming Dynasty, but did not say that the object might be from the Ming Dynasty.  "ThisI don't know much about it. I've been thinking about it for a long time. If you really want it, little brother, give me this price" After Tan Guanghui hesitated for a while, he stretched out two fingers.  Seeing Tan Guanghui's gesture, Wang Ding asked: "Twenty thousand dollars? Isn't this a bit expensive? You really" While speaking, he frowned, but his behavior was just pretending.  It is said that if this thing is verified in China, if its inheritance and origin can be found out, it is normal to sell it for seven to eight million. However, this business requires bargaining, so Wang Ding will naturally lower the price.  explain.  It's just that Wang Ding didn't notice that after he said the price of 20,000 US dollars, the pupils in Tan Guanghui's eyes shrank for a moment. This is a normal reaction when people are surprised. It's not that Tan Guanghui doesn't think Wang Ding has a small amount of money, but this.  The price frightened him. What he meant by two fingers was only two thousand dollars.  You know, ivory carvings are very common in Myanmar. Although the ivory material of this ornament is not small, there are some larger objects than this in Myanmar, and the price is only one or two thousand US dollars, and Myanmar¡¯s per capita income  It's very low, one or two thousand dollars, enough to cover a family's expenses for several years.  Tan Guanghui sets up a stall here to do business, and the money he earns in a month is only a few hundred US dollars. If he goes by the US$20,000 that Wang Ding said, it is also a huge sum of money for Tan Guanghui.  Excited, excited, but how could Tan Guanghui tell Wang Ding that he was talking about two thousand dollars.  But the devil is as high as the road, but Tan Guanghui doesn't know that Wang Ding is more accurate about Tan Guanghui's pulse.  "WangBoss Wang, it can be cheaper, if you wantotherwise, would you like it for 18,000? My things were passed down from my grandfather. If my grandfather were still alive, I would not sell them  " Tan Guanghui was so excited that he stuttered a little. He was afraid that Wang Ding wouldn't buy it, so he took the initiative to lower the price by two thousand dollars and said that it was a relic of his grandfather.  "Eighteen thousand" Wang Ding muttered something in his mouth, then looked around the Buddha statue again, nodded heavily, and said: "It is fate to meet Brother Tan, 18,000,  Just 18,000, but Brother Tan, can I take this out of the country? If I were confiscated by the customs, I would be wronged" Wang Ding doesn't know whether Myanmar prohibits the export of such items. If so,  He said that if you buy it and then confiscate it, it's really not worth it.  Tan Guanghui saw that the big deal was concluded and quickly waved his hand, "No, no, let's do this. Little brother, please wait a moment and I will help you issue an invoice for the handicrafts" Tan Guanghui actually didn't know this.  The export of things is not prohibited, but he knows that items purchased in Myanmar can definitely be taken out as long as they have an invoice issued by a state-owned store.  Tan Guanghui greeted a familiar stall owner at the stall next to him and asked him to help take care of it, and then he happily ran to the state-owned store at the entrance of the Shwedagon Pagoda.  At this time, Wang Ding carefully looked at the Buddha sculpture again, and Bi Yue slowly came to Wang Ding's side. He had been negotiating the price with the stall owner just now. Bi Yue did not interrupt, but looked at Wang Ding's 10,000 yuan.  Bi Yue was still a little puzzled to buy this Buddha sculpture for eight dollars.  "Wang Ding, is it worth it for you to spend more than 100,000 yuan to buy this thing?" Bi Yue saw Wang Ding rubbing the ivory Buddha statue up and down lovingly, and asked with some confusion. In her opinion, it looked like these tourist attractions  Most of the gadgets sold were fake. Wang Ding took out more than 110,000 yuan, and he might be killed by Tan Guanghui.  As the saying goes: ?My fellow countrymen, a shot in the back, most of the people who come to Myanmar for tourism are Chinese. Bi Yue doesn¡¯t believe that Tan Guanghui will treat the Chinese differently. Businessmen who pursue profits are the ones who are killing themselves.  people.  Wang Ding knew Bi Yue's concern, and because Bi Yue believed in Wang Ding, Bi Yue didn't say much when he bought it, but now he always wanted to remove the doubts in his heart.  Seeing Bi Yue looking at him expectantly, Wang Ding said, "It's worth it, of course it's worth it. Handmade carvings have become very popular in recent years. Such large and complete ivory carvings are rare in China. In recent years,  The price of ivory carving handicrafts has also risen sharply. If you take it back, it may double" Wang Ding did not dare to go further. If he said that this thing can be worth seven or eight million if it is proven to be inherited from its age, then  Bi Yue will definitely be shocked. Wang Ding has a feeling in his heart that such a large object will definitely be recorded in some domestic materials.  "As long as you don't lose money, that's fine." Bi Yue said reassuringly, otherwise it would be his own fault for bringing Wang Ding to the Shwedagon Pagoda.  The two of them were admiring the Buddha statue together. At this time, Tan Guanghui hurried back, holding a rectangular box made of bamboo in his hand. The size looked just right to hold the ivory Buddha statue. This is a specialty of Myanmar.  The bamboo box cost thirty or forty dollars, so Tan Guanghui bought it as a gift to Wang Ding.  Wang Ding held hands and together with Tan Guanghui, carefully placed the ivory Buddha statue horizontally into the bamboo box, and then stuffed sponges and waste newspapers around it. The bamboo box itself was elastic. In this way,  Even if some collision occurs, the objects inside will not be damaged.  "Boss, this is the invoice. 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 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 has been in the clouds all year round. Following Bi Jiahao, he has also been exposed to Myanmar business, so he knows the Myanmar invoices.  Bi Yue glanced at the invoice, nodded, handed the eighteen thousand dollars that he had just counted to Tan Guanghui, and picked up the box from the ground. The bamboo box had handles on it, and he held it  Very convenient.  "Thank you." "Well, you're welcome. Goodbye!"  Carrying this big box, there is no way to go shopping. Fortunately, the Shwedagon Pagoda has been visited, and Wang Ding and Bi Yue have no intention of continuing.  What are you doing? Wang Ding carried the suitcase and Bi Yue followed behind. After the two of them came out, they took a taxi and headed back to the hotel.  The Myanmar Jade Public Sale is scheduled to open on November 5th, and most businessmen at home and abroad rushed to Yangon today. After Wang Ding walked into the hotel, he saw many familiar faces. The stone circle was so  Those are the big, well-known jewelry companies that are hard to come by.  However, Wang Ding did not see Sun Qian and Wu Baipo. However, people from Emperor Jewelry did come, but they were not acquainted with Wang Ding, so it didn't matter.  Wang Ding has now also released the information that he may still be alive, and there is no need to wear clothes to death.  Moreover, Wang Ding 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 the Shanghai Entertainment City were already in trouble.  After a murder mission failed and they left Macau, Sun Qian and Wu Baipo had no choice but to protect themselves from the evidence of killing Wang Ding being found.  But, will everything be as they expected?  ¡­ Stopping and walking, following Bi Yue and greeting the wool merchants from China, when they got to the elevator, Wang Ding hurriedly got in.  Back at the hotel, Wang Ding couldn't wait to reveal the secret of the tooth carving, but after going out, he felt sticky and uncomfortable, so he went to the bathroom and took a shower first.  By the time Wang Ding came out, the ivory Buddha statue had been placed on the table in the living room, and Qian Le was observing it carefully.  "Wang Ding, I heard from Sister Bi Yue that you picked up an ivory Buddha sculpture. Why can't I see anything about this Buddha sculpture? It is worth hundreds of thousands? Are you coaxing Sister Bi Yue?" Qian Le was just wandering around this ivory sculpture.  It took several laps, but the shape was just a bit special. He couldn't figure out why this thing that couldn't be eaten or drank was so valuable.  "Hundreds of thousands? Haha, Qian Le, I have to add a zero at the end" Wang Ding smiled proudly. As the saying goes, antiques from golden times in troubled times are worthless in times of war and chaos.  It's cumbersome, but nowadays, it is a priceless treasure. In short, Wang Ding will not sell this thing.  "Howhow many millions?" Qian Le's lips twitched and he looked at the Buddha sculpture in disbelief.??This thing is worth millions. Brother Wang Ding, are you kidding?  " "I'm telling you what to laugh about.  Have you ever seen me joking so seriously?  " Qian Le is even more interested. He seems to know where Wang Ding's money came from. If it is true as he said, just go out and get millions. This is not the luck that ordinary people can have. " Qian Le's heart  , at this time, they were all thinking about getting started quickly and helping out in Wang Ding¡¯s antique shop. With this skill, they would never have to worry about it in their lives. ¡°Brother Wang Ding, tell me, why is it only a few million?  " "Actually, it doesn't matter how much it's worth. I don't want to sell it. I probably won't be able to find a few pieces in China I want to put it in a museum in the capital.  " Wang Ding had already focused his attention on the tooth carving at this time. He was thinking about how to open the patched "door" and take out the wax pills inside. Of course, Wang Ding did not want to damage the "door".  If you want to respect the Buddha sculpture, you can just throw it on the ground and listen to it, then take it out. ¡°Brother Wang Ding, I really don¡¯t understand what¡¯s so different about this ivory Buddha sculpture. Tell me about it.  Can an antique shop have an apprentice?  Wang Ding smiled and said, "To determine whether something is an antique, you have to look at it from the most basic point of view. It stands to reason that you have a basic foundation in this aspect, but you just lack observation, so take your time."  "    "All right.  " Qian Le is really in a learning state and stage at the moment. He nodded and followed Wang Ding's eyes to notice the ivory Buddha sculpture. "Really, after careful observation, Qian Le still noticed  Something different happened. "Brother Wang Ding, it seems that I saw something. Did you notice it?" "Dong-dong-dong." At this time, the door rang several times. Before Wang Ding and Qian Le could open the door,  The door has been opened. ¡ª¡ª Please collect new books and art collections.  Thank you (To be continued.)
