Is he crazy? Would you rather go bankrupt than buy this rag? ”
In 2005, a man was at an auction in BeijingIn the photo, a tattered robe that is not good-looking. For this reason, he did not hesitate to borrow 90,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and finally got his wish.
Unexpectedly, many years later, this "rag", which was not favored by anyone, actually sold 1300 million yuan**. What is it about it that makes men so obsessed with it?
It turned out that the man's surname was Qin, and he was an authentic BeijingerSince he was a child, he followed his father to various antique markets to wander around, and he spent more and more time in contact with antiques, and gradually developed a strong interest in cultural and antiques. Later, Mr. Qin worked in a cultural institution, which deepened his love for cultural toys. Although it is not a big family and cannot afford to collect those rare treasures, it is usually very comfortable as an entertainment project.
So what made Mr. Qin participate in this auction?
Mr. Qin, who was working as usual that day, heard his colleagues chattingThere is an auction to be held in a few days, and although it is not a large auction, the items to be auctioned are very rare.
Who knew that the dialogue between colleagues in their spare time made Mr. Qin fall in love. I thought that I had been fond of culture for so many years, and every time I went to observe these things in a stall or a small shop, it was time to go to a bigger place to have a look, even if I didn't buy anything, it was good to go and see for a long time.
With this in mind, Mr. Qin asked his colleagues about the time and place of the auction.
A few days later, the auction was held as scheduled, and there was an endless stream of people who came to participate in the auction, including Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin, who had just found a seat and had just sat down, had not had time to look at today's auction brochure before the auction had already begun.
As the exquisite lots were revealed, Mr. Qin's eyes were straight, and every auction made Mr. Qin flock to it, but looking at his wallet, Mr. Qin decided to have a good time.
The appearance of each lot has been coaxed by people, and it is getting higher and higher, and Mr. Qin, who thought at first that he could try his luck to pick up a missing piece, will also die.
Just when a lot was bought at a super high **, the scene was a sensationBut when the next lot was revealed, the scene was silent.
The lot on display is a robe or a tattered robe, and even those present questioned whether this was today's lot? One can imagine how dilapidated this robe is.
With the sound of the auctioneer:"The starting price is 90,000 yuan. ”But now it's still silent.
Until the end, none of the buyers were interested in the robe. However, this lot could only be unsold.
But Mr. Qin feels that this robe is not simple, although this robe is worn, but it can be seen that the workmanship is very fine, and some dark lines can be faintly seen on the surface.
According to Mr. Qin's understanding of antiques for so many years, plus working in this kind of cultural unit,I think that this undervalued lot is worth much more than 90,000 yuan.
Although this lot is the lowest value of all the lots, Mr. Qin is also shy and can't even afford the cheapest lot.
Once all the lots have been shown, the auction will end.
Now there are people who take pictures of the exhibits to handle the follow-up work now, and Mr. Qin, who has nothing to do, has to go home in a huff, but on the way home, Mr. Qin can't let go of the robe in his heartI always think that the robe is a rare treasure.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he turned around and went to the bank, and took out the 40,000 yuan that he and his wife had saved in the past two years. I also borrowed 50,000 yuan from friends around meOnly then did I get enough of the ** of the robe, and hurriedly ran back to the auction to buy the robe.
Mr. Qin, who took the robe in his hand, was uneasy in his heart, like a time bomb, if this was really a diluted treasure, then Mr. Qin really picked up a big leak, if this was an ordinary robe, wouldn't the 90,000 yuan be wasted.
Mr. Qin, who returned home, locked himself in the room to carefully observe the robe, and he didn't dare to let his wife know about itIf his wife knows that she bought a broken robe for 90,000 yuan, 50,000 of which is still borrowed from a friendThat can't be turned upside down.
Mr. Qin carefully opened the robe to observe the patterns and words on it, although the age can not see what the painting is written on it, but the workmanship is very fine, just when Mr. Qin found that there is a mezzanine in this robe, Mr. Qin, who was surprised, decided to dismantle the mezzanine to see what the mystery is.
When Mr. Qin carefully dismantled the mezzanine of the robe,What appeared in front of Mr. Qin's eyes was a golden leather surface, and it was densely embroidered with this exquisite pattern and text
Mr. Qin, who took a closer look, was taken abackIt turned out to be a whole face of Buddhist text.
At this time, Mr. Qin was already speechless with excitement, looking at the whole Buddhist text, Mr. Qin knew that he had found a treasure.
Now what Mr. Qin wants to know most is how much this robe is worth nowIt doesn't matter if he's collectible or not, as long as it's worth more than anything else.
Mr. Qin thought that since they were all Buddhist texts, they were from Buddhism, and it happened that a colleague from Mr. Qin's unit knew someone from the Buddhist Association, so he wanted to let them see what the value of this robe wash.
In the following days, Mr. Qin, under the leadership of his colleagues, met Master Hongdao of the Buddhist Association, and after telling the Master about his own auction, he immediately took out the robe and asked the Master to look at it, and the Master looked at the Buddhist text on the robe for a long time and said to Mr. Qin"It's a shroud. ”
Mr. Qin, who heard the news, was like being struck by lightning, shroud? Could it be that he spent all his belongings and ended up buying a shroud?
Just when Mr. Qin's mood was like falling into an ice cave, it was the mage's words that made Mr. Qin's illusions even more shattered:"Generally speaking, Buddhism only uses this thing, and it is not of much value."
As the saying goes, there is as much hope as there is disappointment, but the mage's subsequent words made Mr. Qin see hope.
"At this time, it is unlucky for you to keep the things used by the dead at home, start buying them as soon as possible, I can find you a buyer and help you sell them." ”
Hearing this, Mr. Qin felt that something was wrong, he accompanied his father to earn antiques when he was a child, and many buyers really didn't say, "What is not in good condition, I bought it at the original price, so you won't lose money" and other words.
Didn't you look away this time? With the mentality of trying again, Mr. Qin declined the mage's kindness.
The more Mr. Qin returned home, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it becameIf it's really worthless, then why would anyone want it? Since it is an unlucky thing in a bad house, can it be said that it is unlucky to put it in your own home, and it can be put in someone else's house? Mr. Qin felt that something was wrongDecided to find an expert to take a look, the value of this robe.
In the next few days, Mr. Qin had been looking for senior experts, and finally met through a friend's introductionPalace Museum Research Institute - Zhang Shufen.
After finding researcher Zhang Shufen, Mr. Qin took out the robe, and after Zhang Shufen's long observation, he concluded that it was not an ordinary robe, and then Mr. Qin informed the master of the Zhang Shufen Buddhist Association that it was a shroud.
This statement has also been recognized by Zhang ShufenIt's indeed a shroud, but it's not ordinary people who can hold this as a shroud.
It turns out that the cloak in this robe is sewn with silk, and all the Buddhist texts and pictures on it are made of silk.
According to legend, in the ancient city, this sentence is called "one inch of silk, one inch of gold", which reflects how precious silk is.
Later, Zhang Shufen carefully studied the Buddhist text on it and found that it wasDharani**, Mr. Qin, who heard Dharani**, lit up, fromOf course, Mr. Qin, who works in this area, knows what Dharani** means, which can be a shroud of the ancient royal family.
Then Zhang Shufen saidIt is recorded in the history books that Cixi and Qianlong used the robes of this Buddhist scripture as a shroud to be buried.
Subsequently, the conclusion was drawn under the appraisal of most expertsThis shroud is Emperor Qianlong's.
So why did the Emperor's Shroud appear on the market? Everyone knows Sun Dianying, who is most famous for stealing the tombs of Cixi and Qianlong, and stealing countless treasures. Now it's only now on the market.
After getting the approval of the experts, the ecstatic Mr. Qin did not sell it immediatelyRather, it was sold at an auction three years later for 13 yuan ** to buy.
Although Mr. Qin has picked up a big treasure this time, who can be as lucky as Mr. Qin, it is a good thing to yearn for a good life, but it is still necessary to go down to earth step by step.
