The other two antique shop owners did not stay in Bowenxuan for long and quickly left.
They returned to their respective antique stores to make preparations, and then waited for Xiao Ran to come to scan the goods.
The antique shop was quiet again.
Xiao Ran was checking and appreciating the goods displayed in various display cabinets and museum shelves, and took fans to search for treasures.
In the reception area.
Boss Sun was drinking coffee with David and Sam, laughing and chatting.
From time to time, he would turn his head curiously and look at Xiao Ran.
While talking, Xiao Ran picked up another item from the museum shelf and examined it with interest.
This is a gilt bronze statue of Sakyamuni, and it is a Tibetan Buddhist statue with very distinctive regional characteristics.
What it depicts is the scene when Sakyamuni attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree.
According to the story passed down by the Buddha, Sakyamuni entered samadhi under the Bodhi tree and was not moved by the beautiful monsters. He defeated the demon army and attained enlightenment. He meditated with one hand and touched the ground with the other. His treasures were solemn.
This statue of Sakyamuni has beautiful shape, coordinated proportions and exquisite craftsmanship. It is a very exquisite Tibetan Buddha statue.
It is a pity that the gold water on this Buddha statue has long since fallen off, or it was peeled off artificially, leaving only the mottled copper body, which looks like it has gone through many hardships.
It is precisely because of this that this statue of Sakyamuni can remain until now.
Xiao Ran picked up the statue of Sakyamuni and looked over it over and over.
Tens of thousands of fans in several live broadcast rooms simultaneously admired the Buddha statue through high-definition videos.
Some of them took screenshots one after another and started looking for someone to identify them before deciding whether to take action.
While admiring it, everyone kept asking for information about this Buddha statue.
"Xiao Ran, a fan posted a comment asking, is this Buddha statue true or false? Is it a Tibetan Buddha statue?"
"I also asked which dynasty this is from? What is its value, etc.? Many fans are attracted to this Buddha statue."
Fang Yufei held her mobile phone and relayed the fans' speeches in a low voice.
At the same time, some fans with voice permission are also asking the same question.
After the words fell, Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, and then whispered:
"According to my judgment, this should be a Tibetan gilt bronze statue of Sakyamuni, but the gold on the surface has been stripped off, which seriously affects the value!"
"The reason why this is a Tibetan Buddha statue is because this statue of Sakyamuni has a very obvious Nepalese artistic flavor."
"Especially its facial and clothing textures have distinctive features of Nepali art. For example, the monk's skirt is one of the very obvious features."
"But in the overall shape and local details, Tibetan local art and aesthetic elements have been integrated into it. It is a Buddha statue that is a fusion of Nepali and Tibetan art."
"As for the age of this Sakyamuni statue, I judge it to be the mid-Qing Dynasty, but I don't know which temple in Tibetan area it came from!"
Next, he pointed out several characteristics of this statue of Sakyamuni to explain its origin.
At the end of the introduction, he did not forget to say a few words of humility.
I say that I don’t know much about Tibetan Buddhist statues. What I said may not be accurate and are for reference only.
As soon as he finished speaking, an appraisal expert in the main live broadcast room stood up and confirmed his words.
"Your judgment is correct, Xiao Ran. This is indeed a Tibetan gilt bronze statue of Sakyamuni. It should come from the Jokhang Temple."
"About five or six years ago, a gilt bronze statue of Sakyamuni of the same shape was auctioned in Hong Kong, which came from the Jokhang Temple."
"It's just that the statue of Sakyamuni is well preserved and huge. It is a Buddha statue made in the middle Ming Dynasty."
"The statue of Sakyamuni was sold for over 100 million at the time, and its value was quite astonishing. It caused quite a stir at the time."
"If this statue of Sakyamuni comes from the mid-Qing Dynasty, even if the golden body has been stripped clean, it will still be worth a lot of money."
Before he finished speaking, the main live broadcast room suddenly exploded.
"I'll go! A statue of Sakyamuni worth over 100 million yuan, this is too exaggerated!"
"Although this statue of Sakyamuni is much smaller, it is still worth hundreds or tens of millions."
76 said in amazement.
Before he finished speaking, the strange sheep suddenly said:
"Yes! This is another wonderful treasure that is elusive and out of reach. You can only live it up for the eyes."
"I'll be here as soon as the show starts and I'll leave as soon as the show ends. I don't have to pay for it, just for company!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the main live broadcast room, and everyone laughed.
Xiao Ran couldn't stop laughing, and Fang Yufei was laughing so hard.
Others in the antique shop looked at them curiously, wondering why they were laughing.
After the laughter subsided, Elaine immediately asked curiously:
"Dear, why are you laughing? You are still laughing so happily."
Xiao Ran looked at her and then explained a few words.
Before he could finish speaking, Elaine also burst into laughter, overjoyed.
After joking for a while, Xiao Ran looked at another Buddha statue.
This time it was a jade Buddha, and it was a modern handicraft. The jade used was commercially available and of little value.
In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed.
Xiao Ran has seen nearly one-third of the various goods displayed in Bowenxuan.
Although it was a quick tour, no good thing escaped his eyes.
Every time he saw a real antique piece of art, Xiao Ran would pick it up, appreciate it carefully, and introduce a few words to the many fans in the live broadcast room.
As for those high-end imitations and fakes, as well as fake-looking products, as well as numerous tourist souvenirs and handicrafts, he didn't want to waste even a second.
Seeing this series of pictures, Sun Bowen couldn't help feeling frightened and shocked.
Of course he knows a lot about the stuff in his store.
He could see clearly that everything Xiao Ran paid attention to was a real antique work of art, and it was a good thing that could be obtained in the store.
Can people not be shocked by such sharp eyesight, extremely accurate judgment and rich professional knowledge?
After being shocked, Sun Bowen had given up all evil thoughts and was ready to complete today's transaction honestly.
Not only that, he was even a little worried.
After today's business, all the good things in his store will be swept away.
If something like that happened, I was afraid that I would have to close the store temporarily and go home to rest.
The store will not be open for business again until it has replenished new supplies.
While talking, Xiao Ran came to a wall on the north side of the antique shop and looked at an ink landscape hanging on the wall.
At this moment, the clerk guarding the inside of the store suddenly said:
"Boss, Boss Zhou is here, will you let him in?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Bowen immediately stood up from the sofa.
He did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Let Boss Zhou come in. I really want to get to know him and am very interested in the antiques and artworks in his hands."
"You won't be disappointed, Xiao Ran. Lao Zhou does have some treasures in his hands, which will definitely bring you a lot of surprises."
Sun Bowen said as he walked towards the door of the store.
In a moment, he had walked in with an old man in his early sixties.
Seeing the other party come in, Xiao Ran immediately looked away from the ink landscape painting on the wall and nodded to the Chinese old man to say hello.
Lao Zhou looked at him curiously and was surprised by his youth.
Coming closer, Sun Bowen gave an introduction to both parties.
"Old Zhou, this is Xiao Ran. He may be able to help us overcome the current difficulties."
"Xiao Ran, this is Lao Zhou, the boss of Liuyunzhai, and an old friend of mine."
