Perhaps it was because they couldn't get this copybook, so the auction continued as usual. However, Tangcheng and Ning Weiqiang's mood was not very high, but Chen Jiangnan seemed to be very excited. Almost every auction item was placed on the stage, he would pull Qin Fang up to observe it.
Then Qin Fang would give a simple evaluation. Most of the items were real or fake.
Fortunately, most of the items that could be auctioned here were genuine. There were only a few high imitation copies of Zhao Mengfu's copybook. This also meant that Qin Fang didn't have so much resentment for this auction.
The Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain that Chen Jiangnan liked was also bought by him. The price was 560,000 yuan, which was still within the acceptable range of Chen Jiangnan. However, his heroic bidding still made Qin Fang look at this thin and handsome man who he once mistakenly thought was a thief in a new light.
The auction continued. Qin Fang had been watching as a bystander. He didn't intend to participate in it. Of course, he wasn't qualified. The lowest price so far was 120,000 yuan, which was not something a poor guy like him could afford.
As always, this time, another auction item was placed on the stage. It was a pottery Shakyamuni Buddha statue. Qin Fang looked at the introduction. It was only from the Ming Dynasty, and the value was not very high. It was the kind of item that didn't have much value in this auction. It was probably because the number of auction items was insufficient, so it was deliberately used to make up the number.
This time, Qin Fang still did the same as before. He simply went up to the stage to take a look. Chen Jiangnan didn't believe in Buddhism, so he naturally had no interest in this Buddha statue. He was too lazy to follow him.
"A Ming Dynasty Buddha statue with a universe inside."
As before, Qin Fang went up to take a look every time, then used a detection skill. After that, he waited for the result, and then quickly stepped down. Sometimes, he didn't even stay for half a minute.
It was the same this time. When the results came out, Qin Fang subconsciously turned around and was about to step off the stage, but … "Eh, how did this happen?"
Qin Fang was stunned. Such a result made Qin Fang quite surprised. At least from the beginning until now, he had seen no less than twenty or thirty auction items, and this was the first time it had appeared.
While he was in a daze, he couldn't take another step forward. He immediately turned around and carefully observed the Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue was only 30 centimeters tall, and its appearance was no different from an ordinary Buddha statue. Qin Fang carefully observed it for a few hundred times, but he did not find anything out of the ordinary.
"There's a universe inside?
Could it be in Buddha's stomach? "
Although the Detect skill indicated that there was a universe inside the Buddha statue, there was definitely a universe inside. The only possibility was that there was something inside the Buddha statue's stomach.
However, Qin Fang didn't know what was inside. Maybe there was some amazing treasure hidden inside, or maybe there were two broken stones stuffed inside. In short, anything was possible.
Qin Fang didn't have x-ray vision. He knew that there was something inside, but he couldn't see what it was. He could only guess.
"Right, it seems that if I use skills continuously, the result of the appraisal will change …"
Just when Qin Fang was at his wit's end, Qin Fang suddenly thought of the result of the detection of Chen Jiangnan. He clearly remembered that the first time he saw Chen Jiangnan acting sneakily, he used the detection skill. The result at that time was different from the result of the detection after the misunderstanding was cleared.
"A Ming Dynasty Buddha statue with a universe inside."
"A Ming Dynasty Buddha statue with a universe inside. It seems a bit heavy."
"A Ming Dynasty Buddha statue with a universe inside. There's something inside."
"A Ming Dynasty Buddha statue with a universe inside. Buying the casket and returning the pearl is also a good choice."
Although Qin Fang didn't know if it was really possible, he still threw several detection skills on the Buddha statue.
Sure enough, the facts once again verified the authenticity of Qin Fang's guess. This time, the result of the detection did show some changes …
"Buying the casket and returning the pearl …"
Especially the last one, Qin Fang couldn't help but silently repeat it.
As long as one wasn't illiterate, most people should know the story of buying the casket and returning the pearl. Now, the result of the detection skill seemed to ask Qin Fang to do such a thing.
In that story, the priceless thing was obviously the pearl, which was equivalent to the current Buddha statue. As for the wooden box containing the pearl, it was the casket, which was equivalent to the thing in the stomach of the Buddha statue.
With such a simple thought, Qin Fang's thoughts suddenly became clear … It turned out that the thing hidden inside was the real treasure.
When the time for the appraisal was up, Qin Fang was naturally asked to leave the stage.
"I say, Brother Qin, what's wrong?
You've taken a fancy to this one … I saw that you didn't spend much time looking at the others, only this one … "
Chen Jiangnan was a businessman after all, so his eyes were not ordinary vicious. He naturally noticed that Qin Fang was obviously different at this time, so he couldn't help but tease Qin Fang. At the same time, he naturally took the opportunity to test the waters.
Qin Fang didn't speak first. Instead, he flipped through the booklet and looked at the estimated price of this Buddha statue. It was between 60,000 to 120,000, which wasn't very high. It was basically the bottom of the line. Unfortunately … he didn't have the money.
"Brother Tang, Brother Qiang, Brother Jiangnan, I want to discuss something with you guys …"
It didn't matter if he didn't have the money, but the three people around him didn't care about this little bit of money. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, they probably wouldn't reject such an opportunity to make a fortune.
So, while the auctioneer was showing off, Qin Fang briefly explained his guess to Tang, Ning, and Chen Jiangnan. He was almost certain that the value of this Buddha statue far exceeded the estimated value.
"You're saying that this Buddha statue can be bought at a bargain?"
Tangcheng didn't think much of it. He was still the same as before, but Ning Weiqiang and Chen Jiangnan seemed to be quite interested.
"I can't guarantee exactly how much of a bargain we can get, but I think it should be several times more … Brother Qiang, you know my situation. If I had the money, I would've gone for it myself!"
It was obvious that there was a big bargain waiting in front of them. If Qin Fang just let it go, it would be a pity. This Buddha statue was probably just a simple Buddha statue in the hands of others. Who knew when the treasure inside would be revealed?
"Are you sure?"
Ning Weiqiang still didn't quite believe it. This was a Sakyamuni Buddha statue, not a Maitreya Buddha statue. Its stomach wasn't very big. Even if there was something inside, its value would probably be very limited …
"I'm sure!
Brother Qiang, if you don't believe me, let's do it this way. I'll borrow the money from you for the auction. When I sell it, I'll return it to you … Is that okay? "
Seeing that Qin Fang had said so, Ning Weiqiang and the others basically believed his words. The reason for their doubts was because of the previous copybook of Zhao Mengfu.
"Let's do it this way. The money from this auction will be shared by the four of us. If it's really a bargain, how about the four of us split it equally?"
To Qin Fang's surprise, it was not Ning Weiqiang who spoke this time, but Tangcheng, who was also called "Qin Fang's cheap brother-in-law" by Ning Weiqiang.
"No problem!"
Naturally, no one had any objections. The estimated price of this Buddha statue was no more than 120,000 yuan. Even if the bidding price was higher, it would be 200,000 yuan at most. The four of them would only get 50,000 yuan each. To the three of them, it was nothing.
As for Qin Fang, he was looking forward to picking up a big bargain …
