After Shen Wenxin said this, Cheng Baisong also felt that something was fishy, ??but with a hint of luck, he said: "Brother Shen, your concerns are very reasonable, but I have promised that I will go to observe and invite these eighteen statues. "Brother, there is no free lunch in the world. According to my estimation, these eighteen Arhats are not very real. But if you really want to go, do you think this will work as a cover to attract the attention of the Yu clan leader?" Power, I'll go around to the back to evaluate it. When I do it, you can watch my gestures. If you grab the fist, it's real and it's worth taking action. If you open your palm, it's fake. Then you just find an excuse to leave. Brother, your money is not a big wind. There is no need to lose such a large amount of cash for the so-called verbal promise. It is approaching the New Year, and your wife and children at home have to prepare New Year's goods." Seeing Shen Wenxin's words, Cheng Baisong had no idea. She was so fond of refuting his face that she nodded. Even though she felt that Shen Wenxin was a bit unfounded, she couldn't resist his good intentions. The two of them went to the Yu Family Ancestral Hall together. When they came inside, Shen Wenxin went around to the back door and followed the plan. Cheng Baisong was chatting with a middle-aged man at the door, and Shen Wenxin slipped into the ancestral hall that had been in disrepair. Because it was about to be demolished, there was no one inside the ancestral hall. After Shen Wenxin entered quietly, he found that the eighteen Arhats enshrined were indeed gilt bronze filigree enamel eighteen Arhat statues. They were lifelike in shape, quite solemn, and exuded from the appearance. The "thief light" doesn't look like it has been there for hundreds of years. Time was tight, so Shen Wenxin took a brief look at the whole scene, felt the momentum of the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism, and then made an objective evaluation. It cannot be more than a decade or so old and is made by modern craftsmen. There is basically no sense of age, and there are still some subtle features. Shen Wenxin didn't pay too much attention. After touching it with his hand, the treasure box was not reflected, and it was finally determined to be a modern handicraft. According to this level of craftsmanship, the price of the modern handicrafts of the Eighteen Arhats is around 100,000. After all, the filigree enamel process is quite complicated, and the thickness of the layer of gold on it is quite considerable. Based on the above, Shen Wenxin thinks that 100,000 is It's a fair price. Cheng Baisong has always paid attention to the situation inside the ancestral hall. He was facing the ancestral hall, and Shen Wenxin was within his sight. When he saw him spreading his palms, Cheng Baisong's heart sank, and he understood, and said to the middle-aged man: "Brother Yu, I'm going out today. I didn¡¯t look at the almanac, but I wanted to invite these eighteen arhats. It seems that I have to choose an auspicious day. Let¡¯s talk about it another day.¡± Although the middle-aged man was confused, he didn¡¯t say anything and nodded. Near the hilltop one hundred meters away from Yu's ancestral hall. Shen Wenxin and Cheng Baisong were sitting nearby, smoking each other's cigarettes. "Brother Shen, do you think these eighteen Arhats are not real?" "These eighteen Arhats are not deliberately aged, but they are indeed modern handicrafts. The most appropriate price is around 100,000, and the collection potential is actually not great. Hundreds Ten thousand is a bit deceptive, or maybe the Yu clan thinks it is worth millions. After all, it has been worshiped for a long time. According to folk customs, it is a sacred object that has received incense from thousands of families. A million is enough. It is actually reasonable for the three families to share it equally, but for us, it is definitely a big loss." Shen Wenxin sorted out his thoughts and said, some of these folk worship artifacts are old antiques, but there are also many local tribesmen. After his family was well off, he made a batch of orders. In this area, traditional industries such as porcelain and copper construction are extremely developed, and some inheritors of intangible cultural heritage are still preserved. Cheng Baisong sorted out the whole story of his plan to acquire these eighteen Arhats, broke into a cold sweat, stood up, bowed deeply to Shen Wenxin, and said with great gratitude: "Brother Shen, thank you for your prompt dissuasion this time. Otherwise, brother, I will have to give him a shot." Shen Wenxin quickly helped him up and said, "When I go out, I rely on my peers to help and support each other. Brother Cheng and I are destined. You can invite me to purchase these eighteen arhats together, which is enough proof. Brother, you are an open-minded person, how can I bear to look at you?" The two were polite to each other for a while. Through this incident, their friendship has deepened a lot, and Cheng Baisong has nothing good to accept. Then he invited Shen Wenxin to go to Xuancheng as a guest. "My brother warmly invited me, but my little brother was disrespectful. I just want to say hello to my employees in Shuiyin River and go back in person." "Okay, let's go back together." When we returned to the Shuiyin River, we saw Tian Mingquan's younger brother was arguing with several cultural relic dealers there. It seemed that the fighting was quite fierce. Because of Feng Ya's big fuss last time, the relevant local departments began to step up their intervention in this area. Several vans and police cars were parked nearby. No one dared to expand the situation. "Brother Shen, how on earth did you reach an agreement with Baldhead Tian to live together? Look at these colleagues?, everyone who wanted to enter this area was blasted away by Baldhead Tian's people. "Cheng Baisong looked envious. At present, only the treasures buried in this place are in good condition, and the rest have basically been taken out. If there were not dozens of bald Tian Tian guys watching the show, they would basically be swarmed by cultural relic dealers. They rushed to buy everything. At this time, the scene of Shen Wenxin's employees calmly collecting the treasures seemed a bit outstanding. Under the monopoly, the villagers and friends would not raise prices too much. Shen Wenxin also adhered to the principle of mutual benefit, which was in line with the situation. The work is carried out on the basis of market principles, so the farmer friends are happy to trade with Shen Wenxin and others, and the prices given are not so ridiculously low. They make a good profit. In one morning, they received more than ten pieces of Changsha in good condition. The porcelain and pottery from the Kiln, Fanchang Kiln, and Xuanzhou Kiln include bowls, plates, jars and other practical utensils. According to this situation, it is not impossible to collect hundreds of pieces of good quality and well-preserved utensils by 2020. . It is not only unimaginable for outsiders that Shen Wenxin and his party, and Tian Mingquan and his party can live together so peacefully, even the people in the relevant departments who are stationed there are a little puzzled. The villagers are even more incredible. They inquired about it with Yang Yu and others. I thought Shen Wenxin was some kind of relative of Tian Mingquan. Hearing Cheng Bosong raise this question again, Shen Wenxin still smiled and said nothing, "Brother Cheng, it's not convenient to talk about this topic here. How about we do this. Let¡¯s talk about it when we get to Xuancheng? " "good. "Cheng Baisong has always been curious about the relationship between Shen Wenxin and Tian Mingquan. Seeing that Shen Wenxin kept silent and just chatted casually, he didn't expect that Shen Wenxin would agree to reveal it, so he was naturally overjoyed. Shen Wenxin, Yang Yu, Zhang Dong, and Bi Chao, Wu Neng and others exchanged their opinions for a while, then left the bank of Shuiyin River and handed Zhang Dong the keys to the Hummer. Shen Wenxin took Cheng Baisong's Land Rover off-road vehicle and headed to Xuancheng, a large restaurant in the area. Cheng Baisong introduced the restaurant: ¡°This is a restaurant I opened locally, and Brother Shen can eat here for free at any time. " "Brother, you are doing well in the local area. "After some understanding, Cheng Baisong owns two local antique shops, a restaurant, and a teahouse, and has invested in some real estate. He is doing pretty well, but his working capital is running out at the end of the year, so he has a partnership to acquire Eighteen I respect Arhat's suggestion, of course, this is also a way to make friends with Shen Wenxin. I didn't expect that I would make a mistake. This is also thanks to Shen Wenxin's sharp eyes. Otherwise, I would lose hundreds of thousands or millions, but it would not be a big deal, but I would lose face. Sounds good. In the antique industry, eye-piercing is not something worth mentioning. On the contrary, it is just self-examination and self-reflection. There is no need to show it off. Moreover, Cheng Baisong is a veteran in the antiques industry and has had many eye-piercings. Collectors also expressed doubts about the items for sale. In a VIP box, Cheng Baisong invited several local friends who were interested in antiques and came from all walks of life. Cheng Baisong served as the host. , introduced them one by one. ¡°This is Boss Gao, Gao Ren, who runs more than a dozen supermarket chains locally and has a monopoly on the supermarket industry in Xuancheng. You can tell from his name that he is indeed superior to others. " Shen Wenxin stood up after hearing Cheng Bosong's first introduction to Gao Ren, and carefully looked at the person in front of him. This man was in his forties, with a big belly, and was wearing a business casual suit. He was sitting calmly in the field, with a calm temperament and a calm temperament all the time. It¡¯s a smiling expression that makes people feel good. ¡°Boss Gao, I¡¯m new here, so I¡¯d like some advice from an expert! "Shen Wenxin came over to toast and joked with the elder. Gao Ren held the wine glass anxiously and without hesitation, and said: "You are so polite, little brother. It shows that you are very knowledgeable to be praised by Boss Cheng. Old Cheng and I are both very We have been old friends for many years, casual, casual. " "Brother, you can do whatever you want. As a junior, I naturally have to drink it to the end. This shows your sincerity. " "Okay, okay" After Shen Wenxin met Gao Ren, Cheng Baisong continued to introduce: "This is the old man, Miao Guodong, who is engaged in the jewelry industry and has opened several jewelry stores locally. He is a big gold man. Oh God. " Miao Guodong is about forty or fifty years old. He is amiable and has no airs. If he hadn't heard Cheng Bosong say that he was engaged in the jewelry industry, Shen Wenxin would not have been able to tell. He was not wearing a gold necklace or gold watch! On the contrary, it was very Simplicity. ¡°Boss Miao, I¡¯m here to toast you. I¡¯ll rely on you for your support in the future. " "You're welcome, we are just helping each other. If Brother Shen intends to hang out in the local area, just let us know. " "There must be a chance. " After Shen Wenxin finished speaking, he drank another drink. After everyone introduced each other, they exchanged glasses and exchanged glasses.??, so lively. Cheng Baisong is engaged in the antiques industry, Gao Ren runs a large supermarket, and Miao Guodong is the leader in the jewelry industry. These three people are all well-known in Xuancheng's business circles and have a lot of wealth. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
