This is very simple. You don’t need to master any treasure appraisal skills. As long as you find a beautiful Buddha statue after looking at it, it belongs to the Northern Qi Dynasty!
Because ancient craftsmen had Buddha in their hearts, they were able to make such beautiful Bodhisattva statues. No matter how good modern people are at it, they don't have that charm.
There are some life-size bluestone Bodhisattva statues like this in the Qingzhou Museum, and quite a few of them were beheaded and repaired. In the past, gringos loved to collect Buddha heads from our country, so people at that time chiseled off the heads and sold them individually.
Many movies and TV shows say that there are such Bodhisattva statues in ancient tombs. That is nonsense. Such things are generally not found in large tombs. It is disrespectful to ask a Bodhisattva to guard the door for you! This kind of thing is usually only found in some kind of grotto! Or it can be found near some ancient temple ruins.
When he arrived at the door, Lao Jia knocked gently.
"Boss, we're here."
"Come in!" A man's angry voice came from inside the room.
When I opened the door and walked in, the first thing I saw was a man in black casual clothes sitting on the boss's chair with his back to us. He held a cigar in his hand and was looking up at an ancient painting hanging on the wall.
Lao Jia said respectfully: "Boss, these two are the cargo owners from the north."
The man held a cigar in his hand and slowly turned around.
This man was estimated to be in his forties, with a very ordinary face, but there was a hint of shrewdness and determination in his eyes.
"Welcome, welcome! We are guests from afar! Take a seat, please!"
After I sat down, I asked directly: "Are you An Xiang Shuying?"
"Haha, those are all old nicknames. People in the circle just gave them to me. My surname is Nie. I am a few years older than you, little brother. You can call me Brother Nie or Boss Nie."
He said calmly: "You two must understand that I took a big risk by meeting you in person. After all, to the outside world, I am an outstanding entrepreneur. I think this should be enough to show my sincerity. Where is the goods?"
I nodded and immediately called Xiaoban to tell Xiaoban the address and asked him to drive the truck over.
Knowing that he would be able to see the real thing soon, the big boss was not in a hurry. He smiled and said: "Jiujie's name is famous in the north. This time she contacted me through an intermediary to ship the goods. After all, it is our first time to cooperate. So I have a question for you, little brother.”
"Brother Nie, tell me."
He glanced at me and said calmly: "I have seen photos of this batch of goods. The goods are very good. They are not worried about sales even in the north. Why do you want to come to me for cooperation?"
I smiled and said: "It's very simple, because in comparison, Brother Nie gave you the highest price."
This reason was simple, crude, and reasonable, and it immediately dispelled most of his doubts.
During the conversation, I noticed that he actually had a transparent glass collection cabinet in his office. What was placed in the cabinet were not precious antiques, but various bamboo dragonflies.
You must know about bamboo dragonflies? It's the kind of toy that can fly into the sky with just a pinch of your hand.
I asked out of curiosity: "Brother Nie, are these all your collection?"
"That's right!" He looked quite proud and introduced to me: "These are bamboo dragonflies from all dynasties, and the earliest one is from the Jin Dynasty! I liked playing with this thing when I was a child, so collecting these things is purely my personal hobby. .”
I nodded to express my understanding. This kind of collection is a special collection, just like some people who like to collect rubbers, lighters, cigarette cases, and empty wine bottles.
After working in the office for a while, the cell phone rang. On the phone, the assistant manager told me that he had arrived at the factory gate, so we went out to greet him.
He found a deserted place and unloaded the ten tons of flour into the truck. After unpacking the marked bags, Boss Nie inspected the goods on the spot.
After looking at it, he sighed and said, "Okay! Okay! The quality of the things coming out of this puddle is of the highest quality, with no rust at all on the surface. Little brother, can you negotiate the price on behalf of Ninth Sister?"
I nodded and said yes.
I thought that the next step would be a fierce bargaining session, but unexpectedly, he said calmly: "Well, today is the first day we know each other. Let's not talk about business. Let's eat first. After dinner, in the evening, I asked Lao Jia Take your little brother to have some fun in Zhuji."
I hurriedly said: "Brother Nie, you are too polite, so I would rather obey you than be respectful."
He immediately turned to Lao Jia and told Lao Jia: "Lao Jia, please contact Sai Xishi and ask her to come over to accompany the guest tonight."
Lao Jia immediately wondered: "Boss, I heard that Sai Xishi seems to have been accompanying Director Zhao these two days..."
He immediately became unhappy and said directly: "Let her come over at night to accompany my distinguished guests! Don't you understand what I mean?"
