Chapter 42 Under the wind banquet
East Zhejiang has always been wealthy and there are many temples. There are Tiantong, Xuedou and Ashoka temples in the city of Yongjiang alone, and there are also a lot of believers.
Li Xiaoshuai’s cousin Luo Yang asked, “How about this Buddha statue?”
He is so determined to test him, a graduate of the university’s Department of Arts and Culture, to see how his eyesight is.
Luo Yang didn’t even look at it and said, I know this, it was left by my grandmother, and ordinary civilian products are of little value.
After listening to his cousin’s words, Li Xiaoshuai said in his heart that Keban’s vision is not good either.
“This wooden Guanyin is very valuable?” Xia Huifang knew that there must be a reason when Li Xiaoshuai paid attention to this Guanyin.
This is her maiden’s home. Of course, she really hopes that her eldest brother’s home will also have a valuable antique, so that the family will be rich.
“This is a Buddha statue from the Jiaqing Daoguang period in the mid-Qing Dynasty. It is made of boxwood, and the carvings are also very beautiful, especially the open face of the Buddha statue. There are always hundreds of thousands of them.”
“Impossible, I have seen this Buddha statue every day since I was a child,” Luo Yang vigorously opposed.
One nephew said yes, the other said no, but Xia Dahai, an uncle, was confused.
Xia Huifang spoke, and she said that you should listen to Xiaoshuai above. He is a very professional and has worked hard. When we come back this time, we will also trade antiques with you, Mr. Ai of West Lake Real Estate.
Xia He seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and asked Xia Huifang, the box that Xiaoshuai asked them to remove at the airport was an antique, right?
Xia Huifang nodded, and she also told everyone that last year, Mr. Ai traded antiques totaling more than 6 million US dollars at her home. So, it doesn’t hurt to send a little gift today, everyone will keep it.
Aunt Xia Huixian said, now your family is a millionaire? And the video you shot last time, the gold bricks in it are also real?
“Of course it’s true, and there’s more to it than that.” When it came to her son, Xia Huifang was full of pride. “Xiao Shuai, you are talking to them about the oil painting auction.”
Li Xiaoshuai had to tell them that just two days before he came back, a pair of oil paintings he received sold for $9.75 million at the spring auction of Christie’s in New York.
“Wow, it’s so amazing, Christie’s spring auction is still $9.75 million, Xiaoshuai, you are a real person and don’t show your appearance.” Luo Yang was immediately shocked.
Engineering male Qi Xiaoxiao immediately calculated the actual income, “Then you have a net income of more than 8 million? This is still US dollars!”
“Yes, I’m a VIP, and the handling fee can be discounted by 20%.”
“This nephew is so bright!” Xia Dahai and Xia Huixian were both very happy. My sister’s family has cash in hand, gold bricks in the family, and the house has been bought. I am completely assured of my sister.
As for Li Xiaoshuai and Luo Yang’s disputed boxwood statue of Guanyin, everyone undoubtedly leans towards Li Xiaoshuai’s judgment. Those people are people who have experienced actual combat, and can make big shots and get good results. If you don’t believe him, who else can you believe?
Xia He also asked Li Xiaoshuai, that painting must be painted by a famous artist, right?
“It was painted by Titian.”
“I’m stupid.” Luo Yang almost fell when he heard it, “That’s the master of painting in the Renaissance, can you identify it?”
Li Xiaoshuai smiled slightly, patted his pocket and said, “Isn’t there already a result? All the money is in hand. The money is all in hand, which naturally shows that Li Xiaoshuai’s eyesight is absolutely passable. After all, Christie is a famous auction house, and the experts there are not vegetarians.
Xia Huifang: “But we still have to live here for a month, please don’t spread the word.”
Everyone says this is for sure.
Xia Dahai also asked, can I show off this bracelet?
Li Xiaoshuai said, this can be done, but it is only a matter of tens of thousands of yuan. When I gave it to President Ai and Zhang Ruoxuan, a big collector in West Lake City, they were very ordinary, but they just said thank you.
Everyone sat down on the mahogany sofa, and Li Xiaoshuai started to take things into his backpack again.
Xia Dahai was really scared. He saw that Li Xiaoshuai took out a wooden box from his bag again, worried that his nephew would give him something valuable.
“Uncle and uncle, we invite you to taste the real Cuban cigars.”
Authentic Cuban cigars are very famous, and Xia Dahai, an old smoker, is overjoyed. Luo Yang also took a cigar and looked at it, and was overjoyed.
The cigarette was lit, and the smell was fragrant. Xia Dahai and his uncle Luo Hongjun said that today was a blessing for his nephew, and it was a bracelet and a cigar.
As for Luo Yang and Qi Xiaoxiao, these two belong to the class today, and they are also honored, saying that they are enjoying the benefits of their cousins today.
Aunt Xia Huixian said to Luo Yang, look at Xiaoshuai, he is younger than you, but he is much more capable than you. Not to mention, Xiaoshuai already has a girlfriend, and he is still very beautiful and temperamental, but you Woolen cloth?
Li Xiaoshuai said in his heart, this is the rhythm of forcing marriage, and some of my cousins have suffered.
Sure enough, the Criticism Conference began.
My aunt told my uncle that he said that the house, car, and money~www.readmtl.com~ are all ready for him. As long as Luo Yang brings a woman back, he will be able to get married right away. It’s a pity; hey. . . . . .
Then there are the uncles and aunts, who say nothing is better. . . . . .
A good critique.
In the aroma of Cuban cigars, under the crusade of the four old people, poor Luo Yang was said to be listless, his limbs were weak, and his head was drooping like a seriously ill patient. I don’t even want to smoke Cuban cigars.
The cousin and the couple were too frightened to speak. They both lowered their heads and played with their mobile phones, pretending that they didn’t hear anything.
Li Xiaoshuai relied on the youngest, and he spoke: “Several old people, don’t talk about Cousin Luo Yang, he is a scholar, and now he is all focused on antiques, and besides fate, it is useless to force him. ”
Luo Yang was looking for a life-saving straw, and kept saying that he was currently studying antiques assiduously, and he didn’t have the heart to discuss his wife.
“Learn antiques?” His mother Xia Huixian said again, “Can you be as good as Xiaoshuai?”
In a word, Luo Yang was crushed to death.
Xia Dahai acted as an intermediary, saying that Luo Yang would learn more from Li Xiaoshuai during this time, and that Luo Yang would take Li Xiaoshuai to a few more antique shops and learn some real skills.
Luo Yang was a little reluctant: “Want me to learn from my cousin?”
“Why, can’t you?” This time, the five old people asked in a stern voice.
“Okay, okay” Luo Yang rolled his eyes, “Then I will test him to see if he can be my teacher.”
Xia Huifang said, tomorrow we will go to the grave, Luo Yang, you will take Xiaoshuai around from the day after tomorrow to have a look, and I will also meet old classmates and old friends, let’s play together.
“Big brother, make me rice cake soup tomorrow morning.”
“OK!”
