Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 97 New Cards
"Budai monk." Liang En and Fan Meng were not those completely westernized ABCs, so they recognized the identity of this statue in an instant.At the same time, Miss Black also introduced the origin of the statue.

"I bought this at a flea market in London before, and it only cost 20 pounds." While speaking, Miss Black placed the ceramic statue in front of Liang En and the others.

"But after my identification, this should be a Buddha statue in ancient China, and it has a history of more than 300 years. So if you want this Buddha statue, you need to pay 5000 pounds."

"Miss Black, it's a bit too much for you to pay 20 pounds for a 5000-pound item." Hearing what Miss Black said, Liang En's part as a businessman was immediately activated, so half-truths and half-false words Bargain to.

"No, no, no, Mr. Liang, it can only be said that my eyesight is better." Speaking of this, Miss Black showed a proud look.

"So this thing is worth £5000 right now and you can take it if you think it fits, but if you don't think it fits we can replace it."

Obviously, from the reaction of Liang En and Fan Meng just now, Miss Black saw their love for this Buddha statue, so she resolutely bit the price of 5000 pounds and refused to reduce it by a penny.

Because the price asked by the other party is very high, and this Buddha statue does give people a special feeling, so Liang En used a [Appraisal (N)] on the Buddha statue, and soon, two lines of text appeared on the out of his sight.

[Budai monk, whose name is Qihe, is said to be the incarnation of Maitreya Bodhisattva or Maitreya Buddha. He has a fat body, frowning eyebrows and a big belly. He speaks indefinitely and sleeps everywhere.Because of his humor, wit, kindness, optimism and tolerance, he is deeply respected and loved by people. 】

[So people in later generations often use it as a prototype to shape Buddha statues to remind people to learn tolerance.For example, this Longquan kiln celadon-glazed cloth bag monk statue with exposed body in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties is one of this kind of statues. 】

"Well, 5000 pounds is 5000 pounds. But if this thing is more valuable—" Liang En, who realized the value of the statue after finding out that the price could not be lowered, said directly, but before he finished speaking, Miss Black said Words are dead.

"Don't worry, the transaction of these things will be written into a contract. After all, this transaction involves more than 1 pounds, so I will definitely take measures to ensure the safety of our transaction."

After finalizing the price of this Buddha statue, Liang En and the others quickly looked at other things.It's a pity that this Miss Black charged a high price for all antiques, especially oriental antiques.

For example, an ordinary blue-and-white porcelain plate from a folk kiln in the late Qing Dynasty dared to charge 800 pounds, which was three times the normal price.

So they quickly gave up the idea of ​​looking for another treasure from the hands of this antique lover, and turned to pick things from those luxury goods.

Unlike antiques, this type of second-hand luxury goods has a very transparent price.So several people figured out the options in a very short period of time.

In the end, Liang En and the others chose two Chanel women's backpacks, a Louis Vuitton wallet and a brooch of the same brand as their harvest this time.

These second-hand luxury goods that look at least 9200% new can probably be sold for around [-] pounds. Of course, the premise is to find the right person to sell them.Fortunately, Liang En happened to know a very good client.

"Happy cooperation." After signing the contract, Liang En and Fan Meng took their trophies to bid farewell to Miss Black, and then left the old room.

And when the two of them went out, Fan Meng suddenly turned to Liang En on the way to the bus station and asked, "Boss, are you going to sell that Buddha statue just now?"

I am not short of money, why should I sell this treasure. "Liang En said with a smile, "And that Miss Blake just made a mistake. This statue did not come from the mid-Ming Dynasty as she imagined, but from the Longquan kiln in the late Yuan and early Ming. "

"Judging from the shape and size of the utensil, this should be a fine product of Longquan Kiln in that era. If it is really sold, the price will be estimated to be between 50000 and 55000 pounds."

"From what you said, this Buddha statue should also be a fine product." Fan Meng opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then smiled. "So when we go back, we can properly offer up this Buddha statue, and bless our business with prosperity—"

Because the statues of cloth bag monks often have a smiling face and carry cloth bags, they are often regarded by merchants as a symbol of joy and fortune, and they are regarded as enshrined as the god of wealth.

Fan Meng happens to be a Southeast Asian Chinese, and he has been influenced by his father who runs a restaurant since he was a child.Therefore, the first thing I thought of after seeing this carved Buddha statue was to enshrine it.

"Good idea, we can set up a shrine to enshrine this Buddha statue in it after we go back." After hearing Fan Meng's opinion, Liang Endao compared to putting this Buddha statue in a safe, enshrining it directly is obviously a better idea. a more appropriate approach.

After returning to his apartment in London, Liang En immediately checked a card that appeared in his mind after he got the Buddha statue.Because it was a card he had never seen before.

[Repair (N): Time is the most corrosive thing in the world, and any tangible thing will suffer certain damage after a long period of time.

But these damages are not irreparable, or to be precise, as a historical explorer with primary supernatural power, he is fully capable of repairing these damages.

Skill card (one-time), after consuming this card, the caster can repair the caster's target after consuming the corresponding legendary power and casting materials according to the target.The premise is that the overall volume loss of those items does not exceed 30%. 】

"This is simply amazing." After reading the text on the card, Liang En showed a look of surprise on his face.Then he took out the clay tablet brought back from Egypt last time from the safe in the room as quickly as possible.

The last time this clay tablet, Liang En just put the pieces together and put them in a box, it was not repaired.Because repairing this kind of thing requires special skills, and he doesn't have this kind of skills.

After letting his consciousness touch this [Repair (N)], he found a red dot appeared in his field of vision, and when he put the red dot on anything, there will be words on the side indicating that the spell is cast Legendary powers and casting materials required.

For example, when he and the red dot are placed on the cabinet, it shows that 15 cubic centimeters of pine wood and a little legendary power are needed, but when they are placed on the shoes, it is found that ten grams of rubber, two grams of artificial leather and a little legendary power are needed Power.

"Damn it, I fell for it!" After seeing the second analysis, Liang En showed a depressed look on his face.Because he remembered that when he bought those shoes, the owner of the shoe store swore that the shoes were made of sheepskin.

It's a pity that it was just a temporary exhibition at that time, so now even if he knew that his shoes were faulty, he couldn't settle accounts with that profiteer.

"Okay, now it's time to get down to business." After curiously looking around at all the things I had in the house, Liang En turned his attention back to the box of clay tablets on the table. "Hope the repairs go well."
