Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 1647: You are a fake

Young Master Chen looked at Chen Cheng with cold eyes, and the latter was not afraid and stared back at him.

In Dongcheng District, no one dared to talk to me like this.

When Shao Chen's men saw their master's face looking ugly, they immediately walked up to Chen Cheng and brought him to Shao Chen.

"What's your name?"

"Chen Cheng."

"Are you worthy of the surname Chen?"

"You're kidding." Chen Cheng also sneered back, "There are still unworthy surnames in the world? Are you still living in a feudal society?"

"Haha." Mr. Chen originally just wanted to ridicule him, but he didn't expect him to retaliate.

Boss Huang immediately came up to him and said to Chen Chengzheng: "You little brat! You have no right to speak here. Quickly apologize to Mr. Chen and get out."

He was not trying to help Chen Cheng, but if there was trouble here, Mr. Chen would inevitably turn his anger on him.

By then, the auction house's affairs would have basically become obsolete, and their treasure-fighting marketing event would have been in vain.

"It's you who should shut up." Mr. Chen turned his back and glared at Boss Huang.

On the surface, he was speaking for Chen Cheng, but in fact, he was trying to put him on the fire.

"You said the gilt Bodhisattva statue is not worth the price. It seems that you are also in the antique circle. Well, come and help me control it. Tell me why this Bodhisattva statue is not worth it?" Mr. Chen said in a fair tone. He was polite, but his expression gave him away.

His current expression is that of a gangster at the school gate, ready to make trouble for the students, extremely unfriendly.

Anyone else would have been frightened by Mr. Chen's attitude.

The crowd of people watching also moved out of the way in a large circle, for fear of being affected.

"Then let me tell you the truth." Chen Cheng said calmly without any panic expression on his face: "This Bodhisattva statue of yours is just a fake."

"What?" Boss Huang and Mr. Chen shouted at the same time.

The other treasure appraisers also looked at each other, they couldn't tell that it was a fake.

Only Mr. Zhu was stroking his beard and looking at Chen Cheng with a smile.

"It's a bit impressive." Lin Ran also admired Chen Cheng's courage, his courage to directly challenge authority, and his ability to tell the truth from the false in such a short period of time. He was indeed a talent.

At first, he felt that the name was a bit familiar. If he took a closer look, wasn't it the name of the owner of the jewelry store?

In this era, the cultural level of the people was not too high, so when choosing names, they usually followed customs.

It's normal to have the same name, but he and Chen Cheng, the owner of the jewelry store, have the same temperament and vision.

He just noticed it just now.

It can only be said that the fake Bodhisattva statue on the stage is made with extremely high craftsmanship and is indistinguishable from the real thing.

But one important thing was overlooked.

"First of all, the raw materials, the materials used during the Yuan Dynasty, the high-quality stones and metals used."

"The surface of your Bodhisattva statue is glossy enough, but it's a little too much."

When most treasure appraisers identify authenticity, they often start with the material.

The raw material of the authentic bronze statue is made of high-quality metal, with high surface gloss and heavy and even hand feel.

Counterfeit products often use inferior metal, or even artificial alloys, with low surface gloss and light and uneven feel.

From the audience, the surface of the bronze statue is extremely shiny and looks a bit unnatural.

Unless it has been cared for for a long time, after a long time, there should be some patina on the surface of the bronze statue, and it may even be mottled.

It is absolutely impossible to preserve it so well, even retaining the luster intact.

There is only one possibility for this situation.

The Buddha statue was originally enshrined in the temple, and it was cleaned and maintained every week.

Only in this case can the Buddha statue maintain its original appearance and luster after thousands of years.

And like the Buddha statue brought by Mr. Chen, the luster on the surface is so conspicuous that it requires a brand new Buddha statue.

The situation itself is abnormal.

The corner of Mr. Chen's mouth twitched slightly and he sneered: "You may not have heard clearly what I just said. This bronze Buddha statue was brought back by my father from the French auction. The foreign antique repair technology is superior to the domestic one." too much."

"That's nonsense." Chen Cheng glared at him coldly, "The industrial level abroad is higher than that at home. There is no way to deny this, but if you say that the level of maintenance is simply ignorant of the domestic antique market."

He angrily rebuked Mr. Chen again and did not intend to continue discussing this issue with him. In his eyes, Mr. Chen was a pure layman.

Since he wants to humiliate himself, just follow his wishes.

"And you said a Bodhisattva statue, have you ever understood what kind of Bodhisattva this is?"

"Of course it's Guanyin Bodhisattva," said Mr. Chen.

"Haha." Chen Cheng sarcastically said again: "You would say it's Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. I'm afraid it's because you haven't read a few books and only know about the existence of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."

Just now, he could barely maintain his composure. After hearing these words, Mr. Chen's face turned red and white.

Indeed, as a son of a rich family, he does not need to study at school. He can directly inherit his family's company and run domestic trading business when he returns home.

Moreover, the teachers in the school had a good relationship. They would turn a blind eye to him in the exam. As long as he did not take out books and copy them openly, he would be given full marks with closed eyes.

Although it is outrageous, it is very common in this day and age.

Therefore, he has no cultural level at all. At most, he only knows numbers.

In fact, he was not originally invited to come to participate in the competition this time, but his father was invited to visit.

But his father happened to be sick, so he took care of it.

He heard that bosses from other companies would participate in the competition. He wanted to make his company more prestigious, so he brought the toys he brought back from France from his father's study to participate in the event.

In fact, he didn't know what the Buddha statue meant. He just felt that his father valued him particularly and it should be very valuable.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Chen Cheng said mercilessly: "Let me tell you a very simple truth. In addition to being the Bodhisattva who gives birth to children, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva has another characteristic."

"What are the characteristics?" Mr. Chen was intrigued and actually asked.

When he asked this question, it meant that he had admitted that he didn't understand it at all.

The onlookers laughed, but did not dare to act too presumptuously.

The corner of Chen Cheng's mouth raised slightly: "I think you should have heard of the name Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, right? The statue of Avalokitesvara in the Yuan Dynasty would at least be carved with three heads and six arms to show its characteristics. What you are holding is not Avalokitesvara at all, but Manjushri Bodhisattva. .”
