American Warehouse Taobao King

  Auctions are all the same, even if they are charity auctions or according to the normal auction process. For Yang Yong, a frequent visitor to the auction, there is nothing worthy of special introduction. When you encounter something that interests you, you can compete with your number plate. If you don't come across something you are interested in, just chat with a few new friends around you, chat and laugh, and feel that being very happy is better than being bored at home.

   In addition, this auction organized by the Manning family is a charity auction, and all the money will be donated to the American Foundation for the Treatment of Children with Leukemia. Everyone is here to show love and there is no need to fight for life and death, so the auction went very smoothly. Yang Yong belongs to the most valuable top rich in this auction. In addition, he wanted to give the Manning family some face, so Yang Yong quickly took action and auctioned two pieces of dragon and phoenix jade pendants carved from Hetian jade for $460,000.

   These two dragon and phoenix jade pendants are in good condition, but they were made by a master sculptor during the Republic of China. The age is a little closer, and there is not much collection value. The auction price of this pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants is 460,000 US dollars, which has exceeded a 500% premium. Although it was a bit uneconomical, in order to do more for the children, Yang Yong was still as enthusiastic as ever.

The    auction process went very smoothly, with an average of one item being auctioned every five minutes. Most of them are at a premium of more than 200%, and everyone is rushing to it. This is a rare opportunity to show up, and no one will miss it. More than half an hour passed in a hurry, Yang Yong just came out of the toilet and unexpectedly came across an item that he was very interested in.

   At this time, I saw the beautiful auctioneer and took a wooden statue from the staff. Then the projection equipment in the hall played the actual picture of the statue. If it was to make these foreigners see that the statue was a bit like an oriental Buddha statue, it was mysterious and majestic. This is also very understandable, after all, Westerners have limited understanding of Eastern Buddhism, and in Western Christianity or Catholicism, Buddhism is regarded as an idol worship.

   Whether from the perspective of belief or from the perspective of collection, people are not very interested in Buddha statues. Therefore, the appearance of a Buddha statue with a square face in the eyes of Westerners does not feel that something is wrong. But it felt a little strange for Yang Yong, a serious Chinese, to see this Buddha statue.

why! Because the face of this Buddha statue is actually square, this is very strange. Because no matter which country in the East, people who believe in Buddhism will cast Buddha statues with benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes, and there is no Buddha statue with a square face at all. Of course, those loathsome-looking King Kong have all kinds of shapes, but Buddha statues have absolutely no square faces.

   And this Buddha statue is carved from wood. According to the above introduction, Yang Yong knew that this Buddha statue was actually carved from precious agarwood. The Buddha statue is more than 30 centimeters tall, and the agarwood volume of the Buddha statue is worth more than 100,000 US dollars, not counting the carving work or age of the Buddha statue. Yang Yong became interested in Buddhism. In two aspects, one is that the shape of the Buddha statue is a square face, and the various details on the Buddha statue, such as the clothes and the posture of standing with the magic weapon in his hand, are very similar to oriental costumes. difference.

   At first glance, it looks like a wooden Buddha statue with a very oriental color, but people who have studied oriental civilization, or real oriental people, think that this Buddha statue is definitely not from the hands of oriental carving masters. Because various details do not conform to the aesthetic point of view of oriental people at all, the second place of interest is the texture of the Buddha statue, because it is carved from agarwood, the volume of agarwood itself is a guarantee of price. Moreover, as the collection of agarwood carvings has become a very good investment direction in recent years, Yang Yongcai became interested in this very strange Buddha statue.

  What did Yang Yong do? Auction waste merchants started their careers by hunting for treasures in the garbage. Moreover, Yang Yong also has a special ability, that is, the left eye has a see-through function. If it is not used for a long time, Yang Yong feels very depressed. Seeing this strangely shaped Buddha statue, I unconsciously used my own perspective eye function to check if there is anything special in the interior space of this Buddha statue? Because the shape of this Buddha statue is so strange, there must be something unusual.

  I didn't expect that the perspective eye had just glanced over, and Yang Yong felt very excited. The interior of this Buddha statue was actually empty. There is a thick fog-like scroll-shaped thing inside. Looking at the thick fog-like density of the scrolls, you can tell that these scrolls are definitely not paper items, but an animal with a very dense leather. And the hiding place is very secret, and a fist-sized gap was found in the stomach of the Buddha statue.

   Then hid the scroll inside, and plugged the gap with a wooden stopper carved from the same piece of agarwood. Then use the melted agarwood to smear around the stopper, so that the wood and the whole Buddha statue are integrated, and it looks black without any trace of the wooden stopper. Yang Yong became interested in the Buddha statue, and began to listen carefully to the auctioneer's explanation of the past and present of the wooden Buddha statue. The beautiful auctioneer's eloquence was very good, and in a few words, he clearly explained all the information about the wooden Buddha statue.

"This Buddha statue is very old. According to relevant experts, the carving of this agarwood statue should be around 1750. The wood material used is agarwood imported from Southeast Asia, and the quality of the agarwood is high. It's very good. It has a history of more than 300 years, but the fragrance is still the same. It is a very good ornament, and this Buddha statue has a good shape and a large size, so the starting price is set at 200,000 US dollars, and all distinguished guests are invited to bid. "

   To tell the truth, looking at the hall, only Yang Yong is an Oriental, and he is also Chinese-American. When it comes to the level of interest in Buddha statues, no one can surpass Yang Yong. And all the people present here are the families of the top wealthy families, or the direct heirs. No one is an idiot. Seeing Yang Yong raising his number plate first, everyone's heart is like a mirror. No one will compete with Yang Yong for this Buddha statue, because this Buddha statue is too related to Yang Yong, and both come from that mysterious place in the east. In addition to Yang Yong's net worth, who would dare to compete with Yang Yong! Isn't that looking for death? So everyone smiled and watched Yang Yong sing a one-man show in the hall.

   This made Yang Yong a little embarrassed, as if he was a heinous villain. It's unreasonable and still very domineering, not letting others compete for the items he likes to bully others, so Yang Yong felt very embarrassed and said with a wry smile to his friend Cook Manning next to him.

"Cook, am I a heinous **** in the eyes of you Georgia's top giants? And I'm notorious enough that no one wants to compete with me. How can I raise the price without competition? How can I do more for the kids? Some things! I didn't expect that my appearance would make everyone so restrained, and it would not cause a lot of trouble for you to sell others."

  Cook, regardless of his age, is very forthright to be friends with Yang Yong. He also understands what kind of psychology these top rich people in Georgia have. For Yang Yong, America's top wealthy family, he loves and is afraid to be rude to Yang Yong at all, and it is not a trouble to cause Yang Yong's revenge. for fun.
