"A set of colorful December flower cups from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty!"
Ma Chao paused deliberately. After attracting everyone's attention, he announced the items to be auctioned. While speaking, he also opened the classical box in front of him. What appeared in front of him was,
Astonishingly, it is a set of colorful December Flower God Cups from Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, the whole place was a little cold, as if Ma Chao had told a cold joke that was not funny. Everyone present looked at Ma Chao in surprise or doubt. After realizing it, they all became a little dissatisfied.
I don’t think Ma Chao’s joke is funny.
"Gentlemen and girls, this is not a joke between me and you. The item we are going to auction now is a complete set of Flower God Cups from the Kangxi period. I guess many friends here can't believe it? I want to tell everyone
What is surprising is that the commission our auction house received to auction the Flower God Cup was not a set. This set of Flower God Cups was also entrusted by the consignor to our auction house. As we all know, the Flower God Cup in the previous set, among which
The August Osmanthus Cup and the May Pomegranate Cup have been repaired, but the set of Flower God Cups in front of you is complete. As for the authenticity of the cups, friends, please rest assured. First of all, this set of Flower God Cups is owned by our Dingsheng
The authenticity of the auction house, and as long as everyone is not afraid of delaying time, we can ask several experts on site to conduct on-site appraisals, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wang, Mr. Ding... I would also like to trouble you to conduct on-site appraisals for the friends present.
"
The reaction at the scene made Ma Chao a little embarrassed. After he made the announcement just now, he was prepared to welcome the crowd of people and whispering, but he didn't expect that everyone didn't believe his words and regarded his words as a joke, so
Before anyone could vent their dissatisfaction, he wiped the sweat from his brow and quickly explained.
Ma Chao's explanation immediately made everyone present dumbfounded, but the reaction was not big. Mainly because everyone was a little confused by Ma Chao. Even those who understood Ma Chao's meaning were still doubtful, and finally turned their attention to
Those who were sitting in the VIP seats were some of the more famous collectors and authoritative experts.
Of course, there are exceptions.
"Mr. Bai, don't stare at me like that. I'm just telling the truth. I have collected more than one set of Flower God Cups..." Seeing Mr. Bai staring at him with frightening eyes, Chen Ran suddenly smiled bitterly.
He quickly told the truth.
Not to mention Mr. Bai, at this moment, even Mr. Bai Lei and Mr. Jiang were staring straight at Chen Ran.
Hearing Chen Ran's explanation, Mr. Bai didn't react at all. He still stared at Chen Ran: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you got more than one osmanthus cup?"
Chen Ran collected more than one set of Flower God Cups. Mr. Bai still knew about it, but he didn't think about it. Chen Ran had more than one Osmanthus Cup.
"Old man, I told you that I would give you a surprise..."
Mr. Bai glared: "This is the surprise you want to give me..." This is indeed a surprise, but this surprise is too big, and it was too much for him.
"More than one set? Xiaoran, how many sets are there? Are the pieces to be auctioned below also complete sets of Flower God Cups?" At this time, Mr. Jiang, who had been staring at Chen Ran silently, suddenly spoke.
This made Mr. Bai and Bai Lei roll their eyes, and their eyes almost popped out.
"Mr. Jiang's guess is correct..."
Now that the time has come, Chen Ran has no intention of hiding it. Hearing Mr. Jiang's question, he smiled bitterly and nodded.
After receiving Chen Ran's affirmative answer, Mr. Bai, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Bai Lei all took a breath of air. They looked at Chen Ran and were speechless. Their eyes looking at Chen Ran also changed. If it was said just now,
If the look in Chen Ran's eyes was unbelievable, then the look in Chen Ran's eyes now seems to be looking at a monster, and Chen Ran is regarded as a monster...
Chen Ran looked a little creepy when they saw him.
Let’s not talk about Chen Ran for the moment, let’s talk about the stage. After being invited by Ma Chao, the experts at the VIP table couldn’t wait to leave the VIP table and came to the auction stage.
There are eight or nine experts in total, six of whom are famous collectors and authoritative experts in mainland China, such as Mr. Wang, the deputy director of the Palace Museum in Beijing, Mr. Ding, the deputy director of the Nanjing Museum, etc...
Of these experts, the most powerful one is Mr. Wang, but the one with the highest status in the circle is another old man. At this moment, this old man was surrounded by others on the stage.
This old man is not from Mainland China, but a collector from Hong Kong. His surname is Zhou. Anyone in the circle must have heard of this master collector.
Mr. Zhou is a famous red collector in Hong Kong. Needless to say, the meaning of "red" is similar. The meaning of red here is almost the same as that of the red children. Not to mention other things, he only talks about the cultural relics he donated to the country free of charge.
There are countless of them, but they all have special commemorative significance and are worth at least hundreds of millions.
Mr. Zhou is still the president of the Hong Kong and Macao Collectors Association. Many people did not expect that he would come to participate in this auction. It caused a great sensation when he came.
The arrival of Mr. Zhou undoubtedly shows the great charm of the Flower God Cup.
It was the arrival of Mr. Zhou that elevated the auction at Dingsheng Auction House to several levels.
"As long as Qing Dynasty porcelain is mentioned, every porcelain lover will think of the Kangxi Flower God Cup, which is beautiful and elegant. However, due to various reasons, the complete set of Qing Kangxi Flower God Cup has become a masterpiece, and I want to collect a set.
The complete set of Kangxi Flower God Cups has also become an unattainable dream. Now that I see these two complete sets of Kangxi Flower God Cups reappearing in the sky, I am completely satisfied. This trip is well worth it..."
After several experts had seen it, they walked onto the auction stage. Mr. Zhou announced the result. When Mr. Zhou announced the result, his face was also full of excitement. Although he did not clearly explain the result, he was always excited and satisfied.
The result can be seen from his expression. Before Mr. Zhou finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar, as if it had caused an earthquake. Some people were even so excited that they couldn't help but stand up.
"Okay, friends, now you know I'm not kidding, right? To make a long story short, now we are going to start the auction. The first lot is a complete set of the Qing Kangxi Five-Colored December Flower God's Cup. The starting price is six million. I think
Friends you want can..."
After several experts returned to the VIP seats, Ma Chao waved his hand and, after attracting the attention of the audience, started the auction. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Fifteen million!"
Zhu Feng directly shouted out the sky-high price of 15 million for the last set of Flower God Cups. For a moment, everyone present couldn't accept it, so they didn't bid. Fortunately, the situation suddenly changed, and there was actually another set of Flower God Cups.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone present was working hard, preparing to start bidding after Ma Chao finished speaking. As a result, before Ma Chao could finish speaking, someone started bidding directly.
The price was called fifteen million.
This voice came, which naturally caused everyone present to look around. After seeing the person bidding, everyone couldn't help but cursed in their hearts.
"Holy shit!"
Not because of anything else, just because the person calling the price was actually Zhu Feng.
Seeing that the person bidding was still this little dwarf, not to mention how angry everyone was, they wanted to go over and beat him up. Although no one did this, almost everyone glared at Zhu Feng. This situation was clearly going to happen.
Zhu Feng came up with an explanation. If he didn't come up with an explanation, there would be no hope of continuing the auction unless he kicked this little dwarf out. Wouldn't this be causing trouble? The last one was excusable, but this one
He actually did it like this. If it hadn't been for what happened to the Japanese just now, everyone would have doubted whether this little guy was the one arranged by the auction house?
"I'm really sorry, everyone. I like to pursue perfection. You all know that the set of Flower God Cups I took just now, but two of them are incomplete. You will know if you think about it, if this set is not complete,
Flower God Cup, then it’s okay if I take the incomplete set back, but now there is a more complete one. If I take it back and see these two incomplete ones, wouldn’t it be more disgusting than eating flies?”
Seeing that he had offended the public, and seeing that the auction would not be able to continue unless he explained the situation, Zhu Feng had no choice but to stand up and explain. He said it quite aggrieved, as if he had suffered a big loss.
What he said was indeed true, and most of the people present agreed with it. Thinking about it, it was really the case. In fact, after hearing what he said, many people present quite sympathized with him. At that time, he acted like that
The incomplete one was unique, he took it, and a more complete set appeared. I'm afraid everyone would be unhappy if it was replaced. It's good if you don't blame the auction house. Who told the auction house not to tell it in advance?
Let me tell you in advance, I guess they are all eyeing the more complete set. Even if you go to shoot the incomplete set, the price will definitely be much lower.
Initially, everyone sympathized with him after hearing what he said, but after hearing what this guy added at the end, they no longer sympathized with him.
"Anyway, a set of cups is not expensive, only more than 10 million. I might as well buy both sets. I will keep the complete set for myself, and I will take out the incomplete ones to disgust people. I will give them to anyone who disgusts me."
Whoever you give it to will be disgusting and disgusting..."
The anger had already dissipated, but Zhu Feng's words suddenly aroused the anger in the hearts of everyone present, and it continued to rise straight up. Looking at Zhu Feng's triumphant look, almost everyone was filled with hatred.
It's so itchy that I want to pull it out and beat it up.
Not to mention that others want to beat up Zhu Fengfeng, even Ma Chao has this impulse in his heart. Even if you want to take the photo, you should shout lower. How can you auction it if you shout like this...
He really has a headache. If the price of fifteen million was something he couldn't imagine just now, then now he is a little dissatisfied with this price. If he shouts bit by bit, it is very likely that he will
If the price exceeds this price, and Zhu Feng is now shouting for 15 million, it may be the same as the previous one.
