C227 It's a Loss

0Xiao Chen sized up the jade Buddha statue and nodded slightly.

Although the jade Buddha statue was very delicate, it was only made in modern times. Therefore, the value of the collection wasn't high. It was already considered pretty good to have one million.    

    

"I wonder how much Mr Jian spent on this jade Buddha statue?" Xiao Chen asked.    

    

"This is a little token of my appreciation. Talking about money is so vulgar." Jian Shi smiled, but then he said, "It's not too much. It's only about two million."    

    

"Two million. Then Mr Jian will be at a loss." Xiao Chen said indifferently.    

    

"A loss?" Jian Shi was slightly stunned. In his point of view, this jade Buddha was completely worth it. He had spent two million to buy it. In the future, he would sell it for more than this price. But now, Xiao Chen actually said that he had made a loss.    

    

"I wonder what you have in mind, Mr. Xiao?" The smile on Jian Shi's face was still there.    

    

He felt that Xiao Chen was just pretending to be fat. Xiao Chen did not know how to estimate the value of these antiques.    

    

However, what Xiao Chen said next immediately changed his mind.    

    

"Mr Jian, although this jade Buddha is delicate, the carving technique is quite delicate. Unfortunately, it isn't a masterpiece of a great master, and judging from the outer layer of the jade, the color isn't deep enough. It's probably a collection from the modern era, and it's not well preserved. It's already somewhat worn out, so the value of the collection is really not high. "    

    

After saying that, Xiao Chen placed the jade Buddha in front of Jian Shi and said.    

    

"If Mr Jian doesn't believe what I just said, you can check it or ask a professional to do the appraisal."    

    

Jian Shi looked at the jade Buddha in front of him and was instantly speechless. He didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so meticulous. He could even tell the age and the degree of consumption.    

    

However, he didn't really believe what Xiao Chen said. He pointed at the driver who was standing next to him.    

    

"Qiang, help me find Great Master Zhao Yuankun to test it and see if what Mr. Xiao said is true. If that's the case, then bring the jade Buddha statue back to me."    

    

"Yes!" The black-clothed Qiang carried the jade Buddha and walked down.    

    

Jian Shi smiled and said to Xiao Chen, "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to not only be so skilled in martial arts, but also have a good understanding of antiques."    

    

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "He only knows a little about antiques."    

    

Xiao Chen had been with Xiao Qingyuan since he was young. Xiao Qingyuan had this hobby, so the ink about antiques in his stomach might even surpass medical skills.    

    

Xiao Chen would never mention these things to anyone, because he felt that it was not something worth bragging about.    

    

Xiao Qingyuan had told him since he was young to do things in a high-profile manner and to keep a low-profile. So he had never felt that he was very impressive. He had always kept a low-profile attitude.    

    

However, Jian Shi seemed to be competitive, so he always wanted to find a flaw in Xiao Chen and make him embarrass himself.    

    

But now, it seemed like Jian Shi was also muttering in his heart. If what Xiao Chen just said about the Jade Buddha was true, then he had miscalculated. Instead, he was once again put in the limelight by Xiao Chen.    

    

Not long later, Qiang ran over with the Jade Buddha in his arms and panted, "Mayor, it's really the same as what Mr. Xiao said. And Elder Zhao seems to think that the value of this Jade Buddha is very low, perhaps even 800,000 is considered high."    

    

After Jian Shi heard this, his face immediately darkened. He said to Qiang, "Then hurry up and send someone to catch the person who sold the jade Buddha. He dares to sell fake goods at an antique auction!"    

    

Xiao Chen stood at the side and quietly watched Jian Shi give the order without saying anything.    

    

However, he knew very well that there should be more than one person selling counterfeits at the Antique Auction. Many of them were counterfeits and counterfeits.    

    

However, there were fewer jade and calligraphy pieces, and there were a lot of porcelain pieces.    

    

Although he did not understand why there were so many counterfeits in such a serious auction, he was not very interested in this matter, so he did not probe further.    

    

After Jian Shi finished giving his orders, he quickly put on a flattering smile and said to Xiao Chen.    

    

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Xiao. You see, I originally wanted to sincerely give you a good gift, but I didn't expect to meet a swindler. Fortunately, you have the Fiery Golden Eyes. Otherwise, we would have suffered a loss."    

    

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "That's nothing. It's all thanks to Mr Jian that I came to Wuling. There might be more things to deal with in the future. Sometimes, Mr Jian would need to step in and solve them. It's good that you don't find it troublesome. This time, I specially bought a painting for Mr Jian. "    

    

After saying that, Xiao Chen gestured for Wong Han to bring the painting up.    

    

Wong Han carefully handed the painting over to Xiao Chen.    

    

Xiao Chen opened the painting and placed it in front of Jian Shi.    

    

"This is the authentic painting of Tang Yin, the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix?" Jian Shi was shocked.    

    

Although he could not understand the painting, he could still recognize Tang Yin's name in the corner of the painting.    

    

Xiao Chen could not help but shake his head and smile when he heard him say that. "Mr Jian must have seen wrongly. Take a closer look."    

    

As he spoke, he turned the painting upside down.    

    

"This... Isn't this a phoenix? Indeed, it's the authentic work of Master Tang Yin. There's actually another world to it." Jian Shi's face revealed an extremely excited expression.    

    

"No, this isn't Tang Yin's authentic work. This is a painting left behind by a palace painter from the Ming Dynasty who isn't very famous. However, his artistic conception has already far surpassed Tang Yin's." Xiao Chen said faintly.    

    

"You said it has surpassed Master Tang Yin's painting?" Jian Shi was shocked again.    

    

He picked up the painting and looked at it carefully. Then he nodded in shock.    

    

"Indeed, the artistic conception of this painting has reached an unprecedented height. Even if it was called the number one painting of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be an exaggeration. It was actually drawn by an unknown palace painter. Fortunately, it was preserved. "    

    

"Un, being able to be preserved is indeed a miracle. However, this is also the intelligence of this painter. The reason why he didn't use his own seal... Instead, he used Tang Yin's seal in order to preserve the painting as much as possible. He wanted to let his descendants see his hard work back then. " Xiao Chen nodded as well.    

    

"How much did Mr. Xiao spend on this painting?" For a moment, Jian Shi held the painting and was actually somewhat reluctant to part with it.    

    

When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled and stretched out his right index finger.    

    

"Ten million? Even if it's ten million, it's still worth it." Jian Shi was slightly surprised.    

    

However, Xiao Chen shook his head.    

    

He was confused, and then he opened his eyes wide and said, "Did Mr. Xiao spend a hundred million?"
