Eight hundred and sixty seventh chapter into the urn (two)
Chapter 867: Entering the Urn (2)
The Song Dynasty was the heyday of my country's porcelain development. The products of the world-famous Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Jun kilns are treasured in the world, but these five famous kilns are all official kilns.
The reason why Cizhou Kiln is not included in the ranks of the above famous kilns is that no official kiln porcelain has been unearthed from it.
If the two pieces of porcelain in front of everyone are really Cizhou official kilns, they will change the entire history of Chinese ceramics. Perhaps when they are called Song porcelain in the future, they will be among the six famous kilns.
So Li Dali called out the bottom auction price of 1 million RMB, and no one felt that it was out of the ordinary. If the porcelain was real, it would be worth not to mention 1 million, but even 10 million.
But after Li Dali made the lowest price, the scene suddenly became quiet. Some people who were whispering among each other stopped talking and turned around to look around to see if anyone was bidding.
"Everyone, the price of these two pieces of porcelain is definitely far more than 1 million. If the rumors hadn't been too far away... Mr. Xue is an appraisal expert of Cizhou porcelain in Hebei Province. The appraisal certificate he issued will not be fake.
…”
When Li Dali saw that no one bid, he shouted again on the stage. However, he looked at the Japanese with the corner of his eye. He was not sure what these island countries were thinking.
Domestic collectors were all waiting and watching, and a few Japanese people seemed to have no intention of bidding. The atmosphere in the venue became a little strange for a while.
No one could have imagined that Cizhou official porcelain, which had been highly speculated before the auction, would actually face the dilemma of not being auctioned.
"Mr. Nohe, these Chinese people don't like this piece of porcelain, so I raised the price?"
After all, Shanmu was still young, and after five minutes of silence, he felt a little out of sorts.
Yehe is an old fox. After looking around, he lowered his voice and said: "No, it's better if it doesn't pass the auction, so you can buy it at a lower price..."
There will naturally be unsold auctions. In special antique auctions, unsold auctions are usually due to two situations. One is that the shill raised a sky-high price. It is difficult to sell such unsold antiques after the auction.
, because if the price is lowered rashly, the auction house will be slapping itself in the face.
Another phenomenon is due to the antiques themselves. Just like the two pieces of porcelain today, it is difficult to tell whether they are authentic or not, and the risk of photographing them is very high. After such antiques fail to be auctioned, the organizer will often lower the price and will sell them after the meeting.
When he made his move, Yehe saw that no one was bidding, so he came up with this idea.
"Damn, everyone was so indignant just now, but now they don't even bid..."
Zhuang Rui looked at the performance of these people on the court and was really speechless. Even if these two pieces of porcelain were fakes, they cost more than 10 million RMB to be successfully fired, and their value is far higher than those fake ones that were sold just now.
The goods are countless times higher.
"1 million, I will pay 1 million..."
Zhuang Rui didn't want to be in the limelight, but if he didn't say anything, Li Dali would probably be even more embarrassed standing on the stage.
"Hey, Teacher Zhuang has taken action, maybe this porcelain is real..."
"Yes, I heard that Teacher Zhuang has never had an eye piercing since he debuted..."
"Then what are you waiting for? 1.1 million, I will pay 1.1 million RMB..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui called out the bid, the discussion in the venue started, and people immediately followed suit, making the atmosphere a little more lively.
"1.5 million, everyone, my museum has a lot of porcelain from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, but not a few Song porcelains. Please raise your hands and let me take pictures..."
Zhuang Rui added 400,000 yuan at a time, and then raised his hands in all directions. Several people who originally wanted to take advantage of the offer and raise a price all put their hands down.
There is nothing Zhuang Rui can do about it. If the Japanese don't take action, then he will take the two pieces of porcelain back. Otherwise, it will be his own people who will be cheated in this game. If word spreads in the future, he Zhuang will really
I can no longer hang out in the antiques circle.
"2 million rmb..."
A voice caused everyone to look towards the place where the voice came from. The person shouting the price was a middle-aged man in his forties. After shouting out the price, he looked at Zhuang Rui apologetically and said, "Brother Zhuang, you also know that I am just playing.
Regarding ceramics, although I can’t be sure about these two objects, I still want to get them based on the fact that they are official kilns of Song Dynasty porcelain!”
"2.8 million!"
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Japanese still didn't move. This made him feel that he was trapped in a cocoon. Could it be that after going around in such a big circle, he got himself in.
"This world is really small..."
As for the person who spoke, Zhuang Rui also knew him. Last time in the folk treasure appraisal program in Jinan, he smashed the Tang Sancai that the boss surnamed Liu took out.
And coincidentally, Boss Liu's Tang Sancai and the two pieces of porcelain in front of him last time were both made by one person.
Zhuang Rui didn't know, if these two objects were really photographed by Boss Liu, and one of them accidentally broke into pieces one day, how would he feel when he saw the word "Xu" inside?
"Three million, brother Zhuang, your family has a big business, so you don't care about these two things, right? I think you can just let me have it. The two of us are fighting for a toilet here. What do you think this is..."
The reason why Boss Liu keeps raising the price is mainly because after Tang Sancai was knocked down last time, he was convinced of Zhuang Rui, and he also had an almost superstitious belief in Zhuang Rui's appraisal level.
So when Boss Liu saw Zhuang Rui's bid, he immediately realized that these two pieces of porcelain might have a lot of background, so he started fighting with Zhuang Rui without giving up.
If Zhuang Rui knew that Boss Liu had this idea, his expression would be very exciting. He threw someone else's Tang Sancai, and now he has received retribution.
"Five million, regardless of whether the object is authentic or fake, the workmanship and appearance are worth the price!"
Zhuang Rui didn't want to quarrel with Boss Liu, so he directly offered a high price.
After calling the price, Zhuang Rui glanced at the people in the first row, but to his disappointment, those people remained motionless, as if they were not there for this purpose.
Although the price of 5 million RMB is still somewhat different from the porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, it is already not low for this controversial piece of porcelain.
Then again, even if Zhuang Rui yelled for a price of 100 million, the money wouldn't come out of his pocket. The thing belongs to him anyway, and Li Dali wouldn't ask him for a commission.
Sure enough, after Zhuang Rui called out the price, Boss Liu's expression became hesitant. Spending so much money on something uncertain would make anyone's heart beat.
"Teacher Zhuang offered five million, are there any friends who want to bid for it? Although this ritual vessel is inelegant, it might have been used by a certain empress..."
Li Dali was joking, but he felt a little bitter in his heart. He didn't expect that the Japanese people he had spent so much effort to invite were actually not interested in these two pieces of porcelain.
After Li Dali asked three times in a row, no one in the audience answered. Firstly, everyone was not sure whether the object was authentic or not, and the five million speculation was a bit outweighed by the gain. Secondly, Zhuang Rui had spoken earlier, and they also wanted to
To give some face.
Seeing no reaction from everyone in the audience, Li Dali picked up the auction hammer and said: "Okay, if no friend makes an offer, then this Song Cizhou porcelain gong ware will go to Teacher Zhuang..."
"Wait!"
Just when Li Dali was about to knock the hammer down, Shan Mu, who was sitting in the first row, stood up and said loudly: "I admire Chinese culture very much. I also like this piece of porcelain. I will pay 10 million!"
"What? 10 million?!"
“Is this island nation crazy?”
"Could this porcelain be the real Cizhou official kiln?"
"It's possible, otherwise why would the island country pay such a high price?"
Shanmu's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, making the whole venue boil. This sudden change made everyone excited.
You must know that very few porcelains from the five official kilns of the Song Dynasty still exist, and most of them are collected in national museums and foreign museums. They are almost not spread among the people, so the prices are extremely high, and smaller ones cost more than ten million.
But that refers to official kiln porcelain that has been passed down in an orderly manner. It is extremely rare for such an undocumented item to fetch a high price of tens of millions.
Therefore, although everyone here was very dissatisfied with Shanmu's bid, no one raised the price rashly. After all, no one's money came from the strong wind. The few people who had sworn to protect the national treasure just hung their heads.
Compared with the complex psychology of these people, Zhuang Rui quietly let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that his situation was not clear, and the island country was in an urn after all.
Similarly, Li Dali, who was standing on the stage, was in the same mood. It wasn't that this little devil didn't want these two pieces of porcelain, but he played a psychological game. He didn't bid at first, and in the end he doubled the price in an attempt to get it in one fell swoop.
Take it.
Boss Li was already very satisfied with the price, but he didn't know that Zhuang Rui had already spent tens of millions just to make these two pieces of porcelain.
"12 million! This is something that belongs to the Chinese, and it should stay in China..."
Just when Li Dali thought Zhuang Rui would not bid again, Zhuang Rui's voice echoed throughout the audience.
Not only was Li Dali dumbfounded, but Miao Feifei, who was sitting in the back, also opened her mouth wide and said "ah" in surprise. She knew that the porcelain belonged to Zhuang Rui.
"Teacher Zhuang, well done..."
"Brother Zhuang, you are a pure man!"
"Teacher Zhuang is right, Chinese things should stay in China!"
For a moment, those hindsighters began to flatter Zhuang Rui, almost chopping off the heads of the Japanese with a machete, and the atmosphere in the entire venue became heated.
"Damn it, I spent more than 10 million on baking it, why don't I make some money? Otherwise, it will be burned in vain for the island country?" No one knew that this was what Zhuang Rui was thinking at the moment.
