"The first item we are auctioning below is an imperial edict from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty!"
As soon as Cun Bantou finished speaking, two young men gently pulled a white cloth and walked in from the back door. The two people unfolded the white cloth and placed it on the stand, and the imperial edict of the Guangxu period was spread out on the white cloth.
superior.
As soon as the imperial edict was revealed, there were noisy sounds from below.
He waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down. After it almost quieted down, Mouse shouted again: "Everyone, anyone who is interested can come up and take a look. As a rule, calligraphy and painting can only be looked at but not touched!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone below stood up, even Yan Ruyu and Chen Ran were no exception. Although Chen Ran was not prepared to take action, the opportunity to see an old thing with his own eyes was, for him,
Not so easy to come across.
When playing antiques, you need to see more. This is one of the reasons why Chen Ran agreed to accompany Yan Ruyu.
What surprised Chen Ran was that although everyone stood up, no one came on stage. Instead, they all looked at a figure sitting on the sofa in the northwest corner.
This man was wearing a white suit and was about thirty or forty years old. He was sitting alone in the corner, drinking tea in sips. He didn't even look at the stage. He lowered his head and looked relaxed and comfortable.
It’s not like I’m participating in the underground black market at all…
"This person's surname is Su and his first name is Wenjie. He is also well-known in Zhongdu's collecting circles..."
Perhaps sensing Chen Ran's doubts, Yan Ruyu introduced her to Chen Ran with her lips slightly parted. Only then did Chen Ran know that people like Su Wenjie were also called gangsters in the circle, and most of the other people who played antiques were amateurs.
, but they are professionals, and their careers are in the eyes of bosses or wealthy businessmen.
With the craze of collecting, more and more bosses and wealthy businessmen are playing with antiques, but how much do these bosses really know about antiques? Accordingly, another profession has been derived, that is, helping, or more formally, professional appraisal.
division.
For example, Xiao Yang, who helped Zhou Jianyun build a birdcage not long ago, can be considered a helper, but he just entered the industry and is not doing very well.
But Su Wenjie is one of the best. He is extremely famous among the wealthy circles in Zhongdu. He has a large number of clients in his hands. These clients are either high-ranking officials or wealthy people. In this way, his status is undoubtedly very high.
"It seems that everyone is waiting for Mr. Su to slap him!" When the mouse saw this scene, he also looked at Su Wenjie sitting in the corner. This Su Wenjie was specially invited by him just to make this famous man
The helper raised the price. If he knew that the famous Huaxia Jade was also present, he would not know how he would feel.
"Yes, Teacher Su please!"
Others also invited.
…
Ming took a sip of tea, which was bitter and astringent. Although Su Wenjie didn't know much about tea ceremony, he could tell that the tea was not very good, but he still drank it with great taste.
For him, tea is secondary, and he drinks it with this petty bourgeois sentiment or taste.
Su Wenjie was born in a backward rural area. He achieved his current status through his own hard work. As his status increased day by day, his thoughts and feelings gradually changed...
This is because his taste has improved, and this is natural. After all, he is no longer the poor boy from the countryside, Su Wenjie always thinks like this.
Su Wenjie felt a sense of superiority when he heard the slightly flattering invitations from everyone.
A real sense of superiority.
Although he knows that this feeling is not good, even though he knows that it is a sin, he still likes this feeling very much!
When he was almost enjoying the feeling of being admired and noticed, Su Wenjie slowly stood up, smiled at everyone, and walked towards the stage gracefully. Throughout the process, he gave people a gentle and elegant look.
image of intellectuals.
…
While everyone else was secretly praising Su Wenjie, Chen Ran felt that this person was really good at putting on a show. Not only was he staged, but it was also quite artificial. However, he just thought about what others wanted, and it didn't matter if he had even a dime to do with it.
without.
After Su Wenjie came on stage, others also came on stage, and Chen Ran was no exception. He did not say a word, just following Yan Ruyu. There were still many people interested in the imperial edict. After all, this thing was a symbol of imperial power.
Although there were many people participating in the observation, the scene was very quiet and orderly. They came one by one. Su Wenjie was naturally the first to look, and he looked for the longest time. After he looked,
It was the other people's turn, but they all secretly paid attention to Su Wenjie's expression. Some people noticed that Su Wenjie nodded secretly, and they immediately had a plan in their hearts.
When it was Chen Ran's turn, he also observed carefully. If the imperial edict was made of paper and silk, it would be based on the standards for appraising calligraphy and painting. Generally speaking, it would be pen, ink, and
Color, organization (composition), etc. are the most basic things.
The most important thing about an imperial edict is the seal. Secondly, the materials used in the imperial edict during each emperor's period are also different, and then it depends on the content.
Chen Ran is still in the process of elimination when appraising old things, which is to look for errors. If something is wrong, of course it is not real. This is also the most commonly used method when appraising antiques.
In the black market, everyone has a limited time to look at things, only five minutes at most. When the time was up, Chen Ran returned to his seat.
After Chen Ran sat back, Yan Ruyu asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"
Based on the results of his own appraisal, and the fact that it was impossible for the organizer to hand out a fake as the first item in the auction, Chen Ran believed that this imperial edict should be genuine.
While nodding, he also observed Yan Ruyu's expression. This was the first time that he relied on his own ability to identify antiques. He himself was not sure whether he was right or wrong. What disappointed him was that Yan Ruyu just smiled and said nothing.
Didn't say anything either.
"My friends have all seen it. Now please return to your seats. This Guangxu Imperial Edict will now be auctioned with a base price of 8,000 yuan. The price will increase by no less than 1,000 yuan each time. Interested friends can bid.
!”
The mouse was neat and tidy, and as soon as everyone saw it, they started bidding.
As soon as Mouzi finished speaking, Chen Ran went to see if Yan Ruyu would bid. Unexpectedly, just as he looked over, shouts rang out in the hall.
"Ten thousand!"
"Twelve thousand!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
…
"Twenty thousand!"
…
In just the blink of an eye, the imperial edict was called for 40,000 yuan, which shocked Chen Ran. Although this Guangxu imperial edict was real, it was not worth that much. In his estimation, it was only worth 20,000 yuan.
The price of an imperial edict first depends on the dynasty, that is, which emperor's seal is stamped, and the other depends on the content, that is, who the imperial edict is issued to. If it is awarded to celebrities such as He Shen, it will naturally be priceless.
Chen Ran noticed that the one who bid the most aggressively was the middle-aged man sitting on the lap of a girl with her cream panties exposed. It was also the girl who helped the middle-aged man bid. Every time the girl shouted, the middle-aged man would rub her hard.
There are so many girls that when a girl shouts, she often can't help but moan, which sounds weird to people and makes everyone look at her frequently, laughing secretly and jealous.
In the end, this Guangxu Imperial Edict was bought by a middle-aged man for 48,000 yuan, which was double the real price.
After the on-site transaction, Mouse also had a smile on his face. It seems that Mr. Su really did not invite him in vain. He made more than 40,000 yuan just by breaking the imperial edict. In fact, he received this imperial edict.
At that time, it only cost more than 3,000 yuan.
"Okay! Here is our second auction today. This auction and the previous one, the Guangxu Imperial Edict, are actually a set, which is the Guangxu Imperial Edict's imperial edict box!"
As soon as Mouse finished speaking, a shout and curse suddenly came from the hall!
"Mouse, aren't you trying to trick me? The Guangxu Imperial Edict and the Imperial Edict Box are originally a set, but you actually auctioned them off separately!"
This is an old man with white hair, his surname is Gu. It is said that he is a private entrepreneur. He fell in love with antiques when he was older, but his eyesight is not good. In this industry, he has to pay a lot of tuition, and he just fell in love with antiques.
He competes most fiercely with middle-aged men.
The imperial edict and the imperial edict box originally came in a set. It would be great if you could collect a set. However, when the imperial edict comes with the imperial edict box, the price is actually not much higher. But now, if anyone gets the imperial edict first, then the pair
The imperial edict box is not inevitable, this can be regarded as a strategy of the organizer.
"Old man, if you are not interested, you don't have to give it up!" The mouse chuckled, but looked at the middle-aged man who took the edict. The middle-aged man was not angry, but he was obviously determined to get the edict box.
The old man thought about it. If he didn't take the imperial edict, then he wasn't the one who suffered.
Next, Mouzi invited people to come on stage to observe the imperial edict box. This time, for some reason, Su Wenjie did not come on stage. There were also very few other people who came on stage to observe. They were obviously not interested in this. Chen Ran was not interested either, but Yan Ruyu came on stage.
Taiwan, he followed and took a look.
The imperial edict box was undoubtedly a side door. Chen Ran didn't understand this, so he didn't see anything. At this time, the bidding began. In fact, there were only two bidders, one was an old man and the other was a middle-aged man.
In the end, the middle-aged man spent 30,000 yuan to buy the imperial edict box. This is simply a sky-high price. In fact, the price of this imperial edict box is only 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. It makes people sigh that there is business experience everywhere, and the price of an item will change in another way.
Big rise.
Of course, this is because the middle-aged man is rich, even though he spent so much money, but from beginning to end, the middle-aged man did not blink an eye, as if he didn't care at all.
Judging from the fact that he was accompanied by a young male secretary, he was obviously from the officialdom, especially his demeanor, which made people even more sure. Of course, the demeanor of having a girl sitting on his lap was an exception.
The next item to be auctioned was a large plaque with root carvings that unified the country. This root carving was eventually sold by Guban for 150,000 yuan. Then, a bronze mirror from the Yuan Dynasty and a Zhong Kui painting were auctioned. wooden statues, a Jun porcelain from the Song Dynasty, and even a bronze tripod... There are almost more than twenty pieces, and each one has been auctioned for a high price.
Among them, the highest priced piece was a piece of black jade longevity star, which was sold for three million.
Chen Ran, who had been observing secretly, thought that Yan Ruyu would take action frequently. Unexpectedly, Yan Ruyu never took action. Later, she even stopped going on stage to watch. In the end, she only took pictures when she encountered a piece of Shen embroidery.
This Shen embroidery is actually embroidery. The so-called Shen embroidery is the essence of Suzhou embroidery art and represents the highest level of Chinese embroidery. The founder of Shen embroidery is Shen Shou. Shen Shou's original name is Shen Yunzhi, because he celebrates it with embroidery. When the Empress Dowager Cixi turned seventy, she changed her name after receiving the Chinese character longevity in her handwriting.
Although the Empress Dowager Cixi caused great harm to the country and people when she was in power, it is undeniable that in some aspects of our country, if it were not for the Empress Dowager Cixi, there would be no prosperity in these aspects today, just like Shen Xiu...
Without Empress Dowager Cixi, she would not be as famous as she is today.
There is also jadeite, which has a short history in our country. The reason why it is so famous today is largely due to the Empress Dowager Cixi’s love for jadeite, which has made jadeite reach a highly respected level in our country.
…
"Did you see any clues?"
After taking a picture of a nice piece of Shen embroidery, Yan Ruyu was in a good mood. Maybe she felt a little bored, so she took off the cowboy hat she was wearing, put it on the crook of her leg, supported her chin with both hands, and looked at Chen Ran .
As soon as Yan Ruyu took off his cowboy hat, a nice fragrance floated into Chen Ran's nose, making him couldn't help but take another deep breath.
"What are you talking about?"
Chen Ran, who had been observing, had figured out a lot of things, but he didn't know what Yan Ruyu wanted to ask about. Yan Ruyu smiled softly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Wenjie quietly.
After taking a look at Su Wenjie, Chen Ran said tentatively: "Are you saying there is something wrong with Mr. Su? I look like he is on the same team as the organizer. You see, he didn't even take a picture of anything, but He always goes up to look at it, and after looking at it, he always seems to nod secretly inadvertently. When he nods, others will snap pictures of it, and almost everything he nods to is sold at a high price!"
"Not bad!" Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded: "You are very careful. This Su Wenjie must have received benefits from the organizer!"
"Then he teamed up with the organizer to deceive people?" Chen Ran was secretly surprised that Su Wenjie was too brave. If it was leaked, he would never want to hang out in this circle again, and these people would suffer a big loss. The buyer will definitely not let him go.
"Deception is out of the question!" Yan Ruyu smoothed her hair at the temples with her right hand, revealing her crystal clear earlobes: "Have you noticed that, generally speaking, as long as something untrue appears, this Su Wenjie will not Going on stage is just like the second imperial edict box. The things he looks at on stage are all true. In this way, even if he is discovered, it will be nothing. After all, he has not deceived the buyers. In fact, these purchases The collectors are not considered to be in the collecting circle, as long as they are sure it is genuine, it doesn’t matter if the price is more or less!”
Is the edict box fake?
Chen Ran was slightly shocked. He really didn't know that the imperial edict was true and the imperial edict box was fake. Then this rat said that the imperial edict and the imperial edict box were a set, which was a trap. Obviously, it was to let
People have fallen into a misunderstanding.
The antique business is full of traps!
Chen Ranru sighed with emotion...
And at this time, the rat's shouting sounded again: "Friends, let's start taking pictures of the next object, the Qin Dynasty Pisces Qingfeng Jade Pendant!"
"What? Pisces Qingfeng Jade Pendant!!!"
"Damn it, Pisces Qingfeng Jade Pendant! You are kidding me, who doesn't know the Pisces Jade Pendant? If you had the Pisces Jade Pendant, I would be the richest man in the world!"
"Mouse, why don't you talk about Heshi Bi!"
"To be honest, we are pressed for time and don't have time to fool around with you!"
As soon as Mouse finished speaking, the whole hall exploded!
Who in China has never heard of the Pisces Qingfeng Jade Pendant? Even if you haven’t heard of the Pisces Qingfeng Jade Pendant, you must have heard of the Heshi Bi——
That’s right!
The raw material of this Qin Dynasty Pisces Qingfeng jade pendant is the scraps of the jade seal and jade passed down from the country.
What are scraps?
It is the material that was cut off when carving the Heshi Bi. In short, the Pisces Qingfeng Jade Pendant and the Chuanguo Jade Seal Heshi Bi are carved from the same piece of material.
In this way, you can imagine how valuable the Pisces Qingfeng jade pendant is!
Now Mouse suddenly announced that he would auction the Pisces Qingfeng Jade Pendant, who would believe it?
Is this possible?
Accompanied by the sounds of people cursing, a young man walked up holding a tray with a small box on it. When the young man held the tray and stepped onto the high platform——
Chen Ran, who was looking at the excitement, suddenly felt as if someone was holding a stick and hit him hard on the forehead, and then he felt that his whole brain exploded like a thunderbolt from the blue!
The next moment, everything went dark——
Chen Ran fainted.
[I stayed up late last night and revised the front part. I rested a little late. This chapter is five thousand words long——]
