Chapter 864: Stupid people have too much money (2)
Buying fake items and acting like you've found a treasure probably only happens in the antique business. These bosses act like they treat this place like a shopping mall, with more grudge than reason.
Of course, the happiest person right now is none other than Boss Li. He spent 30,000 yuan to find a master to imitate this painting, and it was sold for forty times. Even drug trafficking does not have such high profits.
"Okay, what I want to share with you next is the Yiguan kiln porcelain from the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. Please take a look. This is a pair of pastel lotus pattern bowls without lids...
Friends all know that Xianfeng official kiln products are extremely rare, so this pair of pastel lotus pattern bowls can be said to be the only two orphans left in the world..."
Following Li Dali's words, the auction continued. What was brought up on a tray this time was a pair of Qing Xianfeng official kiln porcelain.
As we all know, Emperor Xianfeng was one of the unlucky emperors of the Qing Dynasty. He was caught up in the Taiping Rebellion, the largest peasant uprising in Chinese history, and the invasion of China by Western powers also brought changes that had not happened in three thousand years.
Emperor Xianfeng single-handedly endured all the sufferings of his ancestors in the Qing Dynasty. His life was short and full of hardships. After being hit by the Second Opium War, Emperor Xianfeng finally collapsed and died of fever at the age of thirty-one.
river.
Xianfeng's favorite things in his life were opera and women. He disdained the calligraphy, painting and ceramics that his ancestors loved, so the porcelain fired during the Xianfeng period is considered the rarest.
As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and the value of fine porcelain from the Xianfeng period was no less than that of porcelain from the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.
"Brother, let's go up and take a look..." Since the photo taken this time was not calligraphy and painting, Fatty Jin also planned to take a look.
"Okay..." Zhuang Rui nodded and walked to the stage with Fatty Jin.
"Oh, let's let the two teachers give me some help first..."
"Yes, Lao Xu, why are you squeezing so hard? Do you understand?"
"Come, come, Teacher Zhuang, this is a good location, take a look..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui and Fatty Jin walked over, the collectors consciously made way for the table that was originally crowded. There were too many people participating in the auction today, and the scene always seemed a bit noisy.
"Brother Jin, take a look first..." Zhuang Rui gestured to Fatty Jin.
"Don't worry, I'm not as good at appraising ceramics as you are. There are two pieces here. Let's each look at one..."
Fatty Jin waved his hands repeatedly. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in skills. No matter how powerful an expert is, it is only in a certain field. People like Zhuang Rui who can make achievements in many categories such as bronzes, calligraphy and painting, jade and ceramics, then
is extremely rare.
"Okay, let's look at one piece each..."
In summer, people tend to sweat easily and their hands are greasy. Zhuang Rui took a pair of white gloves and put them on his hands. He took the pastel lotus pattern bowl on the tray and looked at it carefully.
This pink porcelain bowl was originally a covered bowl. It has four layers of pastel lotus petals on the outer wall, which is somewhat different from the three-layer lotus petals of other dynasties. The inside of the bowl is covered with white glaze, and the rim is decorated with gold. The outer wall is decorated with patterns to resemble a lotus.
Lotus stamens are painted from top to bottom, four layers of lotus petals are painted, and the circle foot is painted to form a lotus handle.
The whole object has a delicate color and a unique shape. In addition, the Xianfeng Dynasty has been a hundred or two hundred years ago. If this object is genuine, it will be extremely difficult for it to be handed down in pairs.
Zhuang Rui has relatively little research on clear porcelain. He really can't find anything wrong with his eyesight. At that moment, a trace of aura came out of his eyes. After walking around inside the porcelain, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and used the rest of his eyes.
Guang glanced at Li Dali, who was standing aside.
I wonder if this guy is going to carry out the counterfeiting to the end? The pastel lotus pattern bowl that originally looked good became inescapable under the influence of spiritual energy, and it is still a fake.
This result made Zhuang Rui a little depressed. Without the aura in his eyes, his appreciation level was really not up to par.
After seeing Zhuang Rui put down the pastel lotus pattern bowl, Boss Li immediately came over, pretending to be unfamiliar with Zhuang Rui, and said: "Teacher Zhuang, isn't this a good item? Xianfeng official kiln porcelain
, which is rare on the market..."
Li Dali is not stupid either. What happened today was caused by Zhuang Rui. Of course, he must make full use of Zhuang Rui's status as an expert to make a fortune for himself.
"Well, porcelain from the Xianfeng Dynasty is rare, and after so many years, it is also rare for a pair to be preserved. If it is genuine, the reserve price at auction will be at least 500,000 yuan..."
Zhuang Rui understood what Li Dali meant. If the situation were different, he would never say the above words.
But now most of the people gathered here are amateur dealers, and even if they buy them back, they are using them to fight for their wealth.
Although the existence of these people has prospered the antique market, it has also brought many factors that are unfavorable to the development of the art market, so Zhuang Rui does not mind letting them spend some money.
Then again, Zhuang Rui's words also have a hidden baggage. In front of the base price of 500,000, it must be genuine to be worth the price. However, Zhuang Rui never mentioned the pastel lotus pattern from beginning to end.
Assuming the bowl is genuine or something like that.
"Old Liu, you can't argue with me this time..."
"Why, you can buy it, but I can't?"
"It's interesting. Let's go back and listen to the lowest auction price. Teacher Zhuang is very optimistic about this object..."
"Yes, most of the porcelain in the Qing Dynasty was Kangxi and Qianlong, but this Xianfeng year is unique and has great investment value..."
After hearing what everyone said, everyone around the exhibition table began to discuss in low voices.
This black market auction is different from the past. No one who has not received an invitation letter is allowed to enter. Many bosses failed to bring in their own appraisers. They have to rely on themselves to determine the authenticity of the objects. Therefore, Zhuang Rui's words,
It gave many collectors some peace of mind.
"Brother Jin, have you taken a look?" Zhuang Rui put the lotus pattern bowl back and looked at Fatty Jin.
"I can't say for sure. Judging from the glaze color and the style of the utensils, they should be from Qing Xianfeng. However, there has never been an object of this shape in history, so I can't be sure..."
Fatty Jin spoke more objectively and gave an ambiguous answer, but this was enough to make Boss Li overjoyed. As long as the experts didn't say it was fake, someone would definitely bid.
"Is the porcelain real or fake?"
After Zhuang Rui returned to his seat, Officer Miao spoke for the rare time.
Zhuang Rui looked around and saw that no one noticed him. He opened his mouth and made a gesture and said, "Fake..."
"What a profiteer..." Officer Miao curled his lips.
"Tch, what if I really didn't leave you with an excuse?"
Zhuang Rui was very dissatisfied with Officer Miao's words. If they were fake and called handicrafts, even the police would not be able to control them if they were willing to beat them. But if it was true, it would be illegal.
"Okay, the exchange price for this pair of extremely rare pastel lotus pattern bowls is 100,000 yuan. Interested friends can bid..."
About ten minutes later, after some bosses who thought they had some knowledge of ceramics also came up to take a look, the auction of the pair of pastel bowls began under the chairmanship of Li Dali.
But what surprised Boss Li was that within a minute or so after he called out the lowest price, no one called out.
"I will pay 150,000..."
A relatively unfamiliar boss sitting in front of Zhuang Rui broke the silence in the venue.
"Two hundred thousand..."
Someone took the lead and immediately started shouting after the price. In the eyes of Chinese people, cheap things that are not being fought for or sold are not good things. The more people rob them, the more valuable they are.
"Lao Yu, is this object reliable?" a voice sounded from the front row.
"I think it looks good. The glaze is bright and the patina is very thick. It looks like an old object..."
Boss Yu, who shouted out two hundred thousand, replied with a confident look, which made Zhuang Rui, who was sitting behind him, speechless.
In this antique shop, he is not afraid of people who don’t understand. He doesn’t dare to take action if he doesn’t understand. He is afraid of players who are not very good but know something. This type of talent is the main force in the antique market. Of course, let’s change the name.
It's called being taken advantage of.
In the end, the pair of foundation bowls with lotus patterns were bought by Boss Yu for 680,000 yuan. The guy even boasted that he had called out an auspicious number.
It's just that this guy doesn't know that he has been classified by Teacher Zhuang into the category of people who are stupid and have a lot of money.
Next, a painting by Qi Baishi and a piece of so-called Han jade were auctioned, and the prices were very high. Boss Li was so happy on the stage that his face was blooming. Today's auction was not a loss, and it was already a small five hundred
Wan was paid into the account.
After four or five items were auctioned, Li Dali coughed and said: "Okay, the items we want to discuss next are Song Dynasty porcelain unearthed from an ancient kiln site in Cizhou. After being passed by Teacher Xue, a famous cultural relic appraisal expert in Hebei Province,
According to the identification, this should be the official kiln porcelain presented to the imperial palace by the Song Dynasty..."
"Mr. Li, there is no official kiln in Cizhou, but it has not been verified yet..." Before Li Dali could finish his words, he was interrupted by a person in the audience.
"Yes, but it is undeniable that from the broken porcelain unearthed in the past, we can see the signature of the palace, which shows that there is still an official kiln in Cizhou kiln, but it has not been unearthed.
But all this will become history today, because after expert appraisal, these two Cizhou kiln utensils are exactly the same as the broken porcelain from the official kiln that was unearthed from the Cizhou kiln. It can basically be concluded that they are Cizhou official kiln porcelain..."
Li Dali waved his hand, and the two pieces of porcelain obtained from Zhuang Rui were carried on the table, immediately attracting the attention of the whole audience.
And the few Japanese customers in suits and ties who had never made a bid before sitting in the front row also had solemn expressions on their faces.
