Including Yang Bo, everyone brought cash, which is also one of the characteristics of black market transactions. A knife with a pink luster was spread on the table. There was a person behind Ma Qiang who counted the money.
, after checking the amount, he quickly put it into the suitcase.
Zhuang Rui now understands why an old man with such a discerning eye would pay tuition at a black market auction. The time given to identify this object is too short, and the level of counterfeiting of this thing is quite high. I haven't seen it before.
The blue and white porcelain jar was a costly investment. Nowadays, buying broken blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty would cost three to five hundred, and the one with a deposit might be even more expensive.
After Yang Bo returned to the sofa holding the blue and white porcelain jar, he nodded to Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun. The two people looked at him and laughed in their hearts. According to Zhuang Rui, he spent 300,000 yuan to buy a pickle jar, and that object only
It can play this role, uh, so to speak, it still raises the thing. If the pickle jar is used for a long time, the bottom of the jar may become glued and leak, so what's the use of it?
"Fourth brother, do you know this person?"
Zhuang Rui saw it interestingly and couldn't help but ask Ouyang Jun. His family really trusted him and gave him hundreds of thousands to pay for his tuition on the black market. It was said that Tao Shan liked this kind of person the most.
"I don't know him. I heard from him that he might have gone to my club to play, but I have no impression. Who cares, there are good things down there, so you have to help me keep an eye on them..."
Ouyang Jun is not very interested in Yang Bo. There are too many rich people in Beijing who want to squeeze into his club. He can remember everything. But if Ouyang Jun knows, Yang Bo bought this blue and white porcelain jar just to give it to him.
If so, the memory of this boy will definitely be profound.
"The girl next to him looks familiar to me. She seems to have just debuted, right? Oh, I remembered that this boy just came back from abroad. He was rated as a famous young man in the capital..."
Xu Qing is from the entertainment industry. Although she is usually low-key, she still pays close attention to entertainment news. She is also aware of small stars such as Zhang Qi, who have been highly exposed recently. Gossip in the entertainment industry is everywhere, and she has long been aware of it.
The relationship between Zhang Qi and Yang Shao was exposed.
"A famous young man in the capital?!"
Ouyang Jun frowned when he heard this, then laughed, shook his head and stopped talking. Everyone in the capital has his own circle. If this title is placed in their circle, it will definitely be a curse, but there are also
People will be complacent, just like young people like Yang Bo.
"The items to be auctioned below are today's highlights. There are five items in total, all of which are bronzes from the Western Zhou Dynasty. They are divided into a chime and four bronze wine vessels. These items come from the tomb of the king of Guo State and are absolutely genuine...
…”
After the second wave of items were auctioned, Ma Qiang announced the third batch of items to be auctioned. Others didn't notice anything, but Zhuang Rui and Miao Feifei were shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at each other. Why do they need to ask for an appraisal?
Experts, others are buying and selling openly, so they just call it out.
"Brother, what's going on? Miao Feifei is here, isn't she just staring at these objects?"
Ouyang Jun had been paying attention to Zhuang Rui. When he saw him and Miao Feifei flirting with each other, he understood half of it. Speaking of cases supervised by the Ministry of Public Security, they had also heard about it, but Ouyang Jun did not expect that Tao Shan's
How brave are you to sell these things?
"Let's see if it's true or not first. Let me tell you, fourth brother, you are very close to this boss? Couldn't the screen in your club be a gift from him?"
Zhuang Rui neither admitted nor denied it, but he didn't read anything. It was impossible to confirm based on Ma Qiang's words alone. It was just that Ouyang Jun looked like he had a close relationship with the black market boss.
"It's okay. That object was given by someone else. He and Tao Shan are not from the same place. By the way, I also told you to introduce that person to you. Let's wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over..."
Ouyang Jun shook his head. He was not close to people like Tao Shan. Taking advantage of others was never the right way. He asked Zhuang Rui just to confirm whether his guess was correct. Is Tao Shan going to do it this time?
It broke the sky and had nothing to do with him at all.
"Ma Qiang, these items have caused a lot of noise. Do you dare to sell them?"
Not only Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun knew that these items were being traced, but Fatty Jin also heard about it. Several experts from the Palace Museum rushed to Henan to conduct rescue excavations.
"this……"
Ma Qiang was a little hesitant when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but look at his boss.
"Everyone, everyone knows the rules of our auction. We don't care about the origin of the object. If someone sells it, I will accept it and provide it to you. Moreover, everyone can safely collect and keep the things bought from me. I
I guarantee that no one will take advantage of me."
Seeing that Ma Qiang could no longer control the situation, Tao Shan stood up and reassured everyone in the venue. The bosses all showed excited expressions.
You know, formal auction houses rarely auction bronzes. Even if you want to collect them, there is no way. If you can find a few treasures here, it will definitely be a very honorable thing in the future exchanges with collectors. These people
Playing with antiques is firstly an investment, and secondly, you just want to get involved in culture.
Only Fatty Jin showed a look of disapproval on his face. He knew how big this case was. If these bronzes from Tao Shan were true, then whoever bought them would definitely be unlucky. It’s not that he would be implicated and sentenced so seriously, but
You will never get back the money you spent to buy the items.
These bronzes are not large in size. The largest one is the chime, which is about 30 centimeters high and about 25 centimeters in diameter. From a distance, it looks a bit like a large copper bell.
As we all know, chimes are a kind of percussion instrument in ancient my country. They are made of bronze. They are composed of oblate bells of different sizes arranged in order of pitch. They are hung on a huge bell frame with a T-shaped wooden hammer. Beating the bells with long sticks separately can produce different tones, because each bell has a different tone. If you strike it according to the music score, you can play beautiful music.
The Western Zhou Dynasty was the first chime bell to appear. At that time, chime bells were usually composed of three large and small bells. Judging from the appearance of this chime bell, it should be the smallest one.
The other three objects are a wine vessel with a circle foot, an open mouth, a long body, and a trumpet-shaped mouth and bottom. The other four are all in the shape of animals and birds, namely an ox, a sheep, and a tiger.
, phoenix and other animal images, the statue is decorated with various gorgeous patterns, the patterns are exquisite and the carving is exquisite.
"Okay, friends, you can come forward and watch. You can take a look at these items for a while. The auction will take place in ten minutes..." Seeing that everything was placed on the table, Ma Qiang finished shouting and asked
He got out of his body and made room for everyone to use for appraisal.
"Aren't you going yet? Hurry up and see if it's true or not..."
Miao Feifei, who had always been indifferent to the auction, now became energetic and pushed Zhuang Rui's waist very covertly. If she didn't understand, Miao Feifei would have rushed to the table long ago.
"Why are you so anxious..."
Zhuang Rui stood up slowly, recalling in his mind the information about the stolen cultural relics he saw yesterday.
The tomb that has been damaged and stolen the most is that of Duke Guocheng of the Western Zhou Dynasty. If you are not a student of history, I will probably ask a hundred people about this person but they will not know it. But when it comes to the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Mu of Zhou
, maybe many friends will know about it.
King Mu of Zhou was the fifth king of the Zhou Dynasty and one of the most mythological kings in the history of our country. Legend has it that he lived to be 105 years old and reigned for about 55 years. It was recorded in Liezi: "King Mu did not care about the country.
, not happy with his concubines, he traveled far and wide wantonly, ordered to ride on eight horses... Then he visited the Queen Mother of the West, and drank wine in the Yao Pond. The Queen Mother of the West is the emperor Yao, and the king and she spoke sadly. "
These are all myths and legends, but during the reign of King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty was prosperous and skilled craftsmen emerged in large numbers. It was the peak period of the development of bronzes in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the cultural relics stolen in the Guocheng Cemetery were all priceless rare treasures.
With Miao Feifei following him, Zhuang Rui knew that if these bronzes were authentic, regardless of whether they came from Guocheng Cemetery, he could not buy them. He didn't bother to look at them carefully, walked to the table and faced the larger one directly.
Weaving, the spiritual energy in the eyes seeped into it.
"This...isn't this too damn fake?"
After Zhuang Rui saw the internal structure of the so-called bronze, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. This thing was not made of bronze at all, but a real iron tool. You know, bronze is made of red copper, tin, and lead.
Alloy, while iron is a shiny silver-white metal, the two are easily distinguishable.
This faker is very good at saving trouble. He directly poured a layer of bronze water on the iron mold and then made it old. Zhuang Rui shook his head when he saw it. This thing has no technical content at all. It is worse than the blue and white porcelain jar.
It's far away.
After taking another look at the other wine vessels, they all came out of the same mold with exactly the same technique. Zhuang Rui didn't bother to look at them anymore, so he separated from the people around him and sat back on the sofa.
To be honest, Zhuang Rui is now extremely disappointed with this black market. So far, seven or eight objects have come out, including the painting he bought at the beginning, which is somewhat related to cultural relics. The following items are
Each thing became more fake than the next, and he had no intention of staying here any longer.
Although Beijing is the largest cultural relics market in the country and has a huge collection of cultural relics, it is naturally a paradise for counterfeiters, but it cannot just use these things to fool people.
No wonder this black market boss is not afraid of the police coming to investigate. Even if he is investigated, it has nothing to do with you, the police, if someone else is auctioning modern handicrafts.
