"If there is someone you like next, just say so, Mr. Lin. To express my gratitude, I will take another photo for your husband as a gift."
As a direct descendant of one of the eight great families in Beicheng, Cao Shaomin respected Lin Xiao so much just to be on good terms with Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao has better treasure appraisal and stone betting skills than the He family. When it is inevitable that he may be asked for help in the future, it is always right to build a good relationship.
Lin Xiao shook his head slightly and simply said: "The 500 million Mr. Cao gave me is enough. Besides, I don't like all antiques. Even if there are some that I like, I will only take them if I like them."
.”
"Okay," Cao Shaomin nodded.
Also, if a capable person like Lin Xiao wants to buy something and he doesn't have the money, how can he need to be thanked by him?
"The next lot is an unsold item in our auction. If you like it, please feel free to bid! Please-Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup!"
"What? Chicken bowl cup?"
"Impossible! How can there be a Chenghua Chicken Cup here?"
"Unsuccessful item? That means no one bid at all during the previous auction. Could it be a fake?"
As soon as the auctioneer's words came out, the red cloth was unveiled, which immediately caused a stir in the crowd.
It turns out that this new auction item is a colorful chicken vat cup.
Speaking of this chicken vat cup, it is definitely the Qiao Chu in the collection world, but its quantity is very rare, and there are many imitations that are difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake.
Moreover, the Minghua Doucai Chicken Cup in the first auction was an unsold item in the previous auction, so it is more likely to be a fake.
Lin Xiao leaned forward, staring closely at the chicken bowl cup on the high platform, frowning slightly.
"Master, this chicken bowl cup is so rare, it can't be real or fake, right?"
Yun Caixi looked at the chicken vat cup on the high platform and asked quickly.
This Ming Chenghua chicken cup can be traced back to the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. The Chenghua Emperor at that time specially cut off the wine in order to please the company commander and his seventeen-year-old Concubine Wan Guifei.
Because Concubine Wan Guifei loved porcelain at that time, Chenghua paid great attention to the manufacture of porcelain.
It is said that this chicken vat cup was created when Emperor Chenghua admired the "Picture of Chickens and Chickens" and was so moved by the heartwarming scene of hens and chicks foraging for food that he burned the picture on porcelain.
This is to commemorate the years when Concubine Wan Gui took care of him when he was young, and to express his feelings of family harmony. Therefore, this chicken vat cup can also be said to be a testimony of the love between Concubine Wan Gui and Emperor Chenghua.
Once at an international auction, this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup sold for a sky-high price of 280 million yuan!
"It should be true." Lin Xiao observed it for a long time and frowned slightly.
The reason why the chicken vat cup is so expensive is because it is genuine, refined and rare.
However, this chicken vat cup actually has some flaws, which is slightly less than the chicken vat cup collected by the National Museum.
Yun Caixi looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, "Master is not sure either? Look, no one is taking pictures below, maybe it's a fake."
Lin Xiao looked down and saw the auctioneer Chun Xue calmly conducting the auction on the high platform. Even if no one bid, she still had a bright smile on her face.
Lin Xiao squinted his eyes and replayed the image of the chicken vat cup in his mind, "No, take a photo of this chicken vat cup, it's a real thing!"
"But Master, this chicken cup has a very obvious color difference on the rooster's comb, there are tiny porcelain protrusions on the bottom of the cup, and it also has the signature of Ji Xiaolan from the Qing Dynasty. Is it a fake?"
Yun Caixi asked doubtfully while bidding one million.
