Seeing that the dust had settled, many people looked at the fat white man with strange eyes.
Indeed, the market price of the Yuan blue and white plum vase is only about 12 million, but Fatty Bai paid 15 million to buy it for 15 million even though he knew he was being cheated. There is a lot to be said here.
"Congratulations to Mr. Bai, congratulations to Mr. Bai for bidding on this Yuan blue and white plum vase for 15 million." The auctioneer said in the calmest voice possible on the stage. After all, he didn't know what Fatty Bai was feeling right now.
, but he was still very curious. In order to restrain his curiosity and not ask, it was considered that the auctioneer was well-educated.
But others were not so polite. Some people still jumped out and asked: "Mr. Bai, we don't understand you. Why do you have to get this plum vase?"
"Yes, yes, one thousand and five dollars. Although the plum vase is good, the price..."
Xue Zhenghao also asked: "You asked me to give up just now. It's not necessary. I will definitely not even think about it if it exceeds 10 million. Mr. Bai, you are so determined to win. Could it be that you have an identical plum vase at home?"
When Fatty Bai heard this, a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face.
At this moment, Mr. Xu finally said: "Fat Bai does have an identical plum vase at home, otherwise how could he be so mad that he would rather pay a premium of more than 20% to get this vase?"
Everyone suddenly realized that they certainly knew that once the plum vases were paired, the price would not simply be doubled. If you were lucky, it would not be impossible to triple the price if you met a suitable buyer. Even in a normal auction,
Two and a half times is appropriate. Therefore, Fatty Bai spent 15 million to win this plum vase, just to match it with the one at home, which would start at 30 million, which is a little
After some operation, 3,500 will be a more reasonable price.
Calculating it this way, Fatty Bai still has a profit margin of several million.
However, this Mr. Xu made Fatty Bai spend at least five million more.
"My surname is Xu. I, Lao Bai, have written down this matter today."
Mr. Xu looked at Fatty Bai with a neutral expression, and said coldly: "Don't worry, the fun is yet to come."
"What do you mean?" Fatty Bai was confused.
Mr. Xu laughed, sat down steadily, looked at the auction table, and said: "Isn't there another piece of porcelain from the firewood kiln? What's wrong? No more auctions?"
The auctioneer woke up and hurriedly knocked the auction gavel lightly and said: "Today's auction was originally over here, but Master Qi has been thinking about this piece of porcelain for a long time and feels that he still needs to take it out for you to see.
Look. I don’t have much to introduce about this piece of porcelain. It’s all in the brochure you got today. Please give me the wood kiln porcelain piece.”
As the auctioneer finished speaking, a young girl wearing a cheongsam walked onto the auction stage carrying a tray. In the tray, there was a piece of light blue porcelain, covered with a glass cover.
There was also a pair of white cotton gloves and a small rubber hammer on the tray.
"Because this is the first and only object that cannot be completely verified as authentic since the establishment of Qiye's auction. Therefore, Qiye has specially asked you to come on stage and see this treasure with your own eyes.
What I would like to specifically explain here is that after our expert appraisal, this piece of porcelain was roughly dated to the late Tang, Five Dynasties and early Song.
Unfortunately, there has never been a recognized artifact from the firewood kiln, so it is impossible to determine whether this is the rumored firewood kiln. This needs to be judged by yourself. Everyone, who would like to take a look first?"
To put it bluntly, apart from the fact that this piece of porcelain roughly belongs to the period of the Five Dynasties, whether it is really a wood kiln or not, Master Qi doesn’t know, experts don’t know, and it’s impossible for these people at the scene to know.
Everyone looked at each other, and for a while they didn’t even have much desire to come forward and take a look. After all, no one knew whether such a piece of wood kiln porcelain was real or fake, and even if they believed it was, the official didn’t admit it, so this thing was worthless.
Not worth it. If it were a complete vessel, then it would be okay. At least it could prove that it was produced by the official kiln of the late Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty, and it would have enough value in itself. But now, this is just a piece of porcelain, even if it is
If you can see half of the word "Chai" on the porcelain piece, it means nothing.
Cheng Yu was a little curious. Seeing that no one came forward, he took the initiative and walked towards the auction table.
"Hello, I want to take a look."
The auctioneer smiled slightly, motioned to the woman to place the tray on the table, then pointed and said: "Please do so."
Cheng Yu followed the rules and first picked up the pair of white gloves. After putting them on, he carefully picked up the glass cover, then picked up the piece of porcelain with both hands more carefully, placed it between the palms of his left hands, and carefully
observe.
In fact, Cheng Yu knew nothing about antique porcelain. He just wanted to see what this so-called firewood kiln looked like. Anyway, the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and it would be interesting to learn about this firewood kiln that was not authentic or fake. Anyway, Cheng Fu was sure
Not at the scene, but after leaving this door, I don’t know if Master Cheng will fall from the sky.
After looking at it for a long time, Cheng Yu couldn't figure out the reason, so he put the porcelain pieces back, replaced the glass cover, and took off his gloves.
The auctioneer asked him curiously: "How is it?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"I don't understand this."
"Don't understand? Then you..." The auctioneer wanted to ask Cheng Yu what he was looking at.
In the end, Cheng Yu was extraordinarily honest: "Let's just watch the fun. No one has ever seen a firewood kiln, so can't we just watch the fun?"
The auctioneer was stunned, but the bidders below all laughed.
Indeed, what Cheng Yu said is absolutely right. Isn't this just for fun?
After Cheng Yu started like this, someone else came up to the stage, picked up the piece of porcelain with his own hands, and looked at it carefully.
However, those people obviously have some research on ancient porcelain. Unlike Cheng Yu, who is just watching the excitement, they judge whether this thing is worth buying from the perspective of the texture, color, etc.
But it is precisely because no one dares to say that they have definitely seen a firewood kiln. It is even unclear whether the azure color in the rumors about firewood kilns is cyan or a greenish color like Ru kiln.
Therefore, when everyone came off the stage and was asked about it after watching, they all imitated Cheng Yu and said, "Just watch the excitement."
The auctioneer was helpless. He probably realized that this so-called Chai Kiln porcelain piece was probably going to fail at auction. This was probably the first time that Qiye's auction had failed to sell in several years.
Qi Ye was actually watching everything that happened in the casino through the surveillance camera at this moment, but his face remained expressionless. No one could tell from his face whether he felt disappointed or not.
After making sure that no one was going to take action, the auctioneer finally announced the start of the auction. No matter what, even if the auction failed, it was still necessary to give it a try.
The auctioneer read out the rules for the auction of this piece of porcelain on the stage, but Fatty Bai stared at Mr. Xu with some confusion. He passed over the people in the middle and said: "Xu, tell me clearly, what's the show?"
Still behind?"
Mr. Xu slowly turned his head and glanced at Fatty Bai, but didn't say a word.
"Xu! Tell me clearly!" Fatty Bai suppressed his emotions and roared in a low voice.
My heart was extremely itchy. Is this Yuan Qinghua fake? Impossible! There is no way that Qi Ye’s signboard could be destroyed by these thousands. Is the one at home just a fake? It’s also impossible. That was appraised by experts from the Forbidden City.
, fidelity.
So what does the surname Xu mean?
Seeing Fatty Bai's red face, Xue Zhenghao couldn't bear it, so he sighed quietly and said, "Old Xu, Mr. Bai has already spent all his money. If you know something, just tell me.
Let’s take a closer look at this last lot.”
Mr. Xu seemed to have betrayed Xue Zhenghao, and sneered and said: "This fat white man is ignorant and incompetent. When he saw that the two plum vases belonged to the same era and had the same shape and base, he felt that they were the same as the one from his family.
They have become a couple. Before leaving the imperial capital and rushing here, I told people that this time I was going to do a big deal. I heard about this, and I knew it after taking a quick look at the items at Qiye's auction.
What is this old boy thinking? Haha, it's a pity. These two plum bottles are both very good things separately. If Fatty Bai buys them within one thousand and two, even if he can't sell them at a high price, he won't be hurt.
Bones, I can strike flatly no matter what I do. But, I’m too greedy.”
"Xu, what do you mean?" Fatty Bai was definitely gritting his teeth.
Mr. Xu shook his head and smiled, and said: "You just looked at the shape of the device, and you also had someone help you measure the size and feel the texture. You also compared the base models carefully, right?"
Fatty Bai nodded heavily, his face gloomy, and he seemed to begin to understand what the problem was.
"But you old boy didn't look at the inner pot. If you look carefully, you will know that your Yuanqinghua one has no lid, and this one originally had a lid. Today's one doesn't even have a lid.
A complete piece. Of course, this does not affect the value of this plum vase. But if you insist on making a pair with the one in your house, it will be okay for an amateur. Bai Fatty, this is what you were rushing to ask.
,don’t blame me…”
After a conversation, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Mr. Xu's last words were heartbreaking. He said that the fat man was rushing to ask. In other words, if he had not asked, he would have just gone back and made a couple. At least he could have deceived the layman and made others think he was a layman.
These two plum vases are a pair and will be sold at the price of a pair.
But now he had to ask Chou Yin Mao. Although there were only about thirty people here, after leaving, this matter would inevitably spread.
It's something that everyone knows. Now even laymen can't hide it.
Fatty Bai was so angry that he almost broke all his teeth. He had given himself at least seventy mouthfuls of pleasure in his heart. His mouth was so mean, why did he have to ask?
But soon, Fatty Bai came back to his senses.
I really can’t blame myself for being such a mean-spirited person. Since Mr. Xu has already seen through everything, it’s absolutely impossible for the two plum vases in Fatty Bai’s hands to be sold in pairs. As soon as today’s auction ends,
Regardless of whether Fatty Bai asks or not, the fact that the two plum vases in his hands cannot be matched will inevitably spread throughout the collecting circle.
"If I don't ask you, will you tell me? Do you remember what happened ten years ago to this day?"
Mr. Xu let out a long breath and said: "There is a cause before and there is a result after. Ten years ago, I exchanged one million for you to lose three million today. Isn't it too cruel to cheat you? You said I am narrow-minded, today
How long will you remember me for this matter? But this is really not important to me. I am old and my children have not joined my business. Before coming to Mong Cai, all my properties were almost sold off.
Yes. Today we are one and the same. If you don’t ask about these plum bottles today, I will really be rotten in my stomach. Believe it or not!"
