One by one they started bidding loudly, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they had money.
Whatever people lack, their shortcomings will be exposed.
In the eyes of these big bosses, their behavior was as if they were mentally retarded and they had no intention of getting involved.
"I'll pay thirty thousand!"
"I'm thirty-one!"
…………
"Fifty-two thousand!"
"Fifty-three thousand!"
…………
After bidding all the way, this piece of celadon from a private kiln in the Qing Dynasty reached 80,000 yuan, and was finally bought by a fat man.
Such a price was within Li Yiyang's expectation.
After the first lot was taken away, the host began to introduce the second lot: This lot is a gold-inlaid white jade carved double deer pattern belt plate from the Song Dynasty. It is a high-grade jade ornament from the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. They have a common feature.
The name is Yi-Jade Belt Board.
The jade belt plate, also known as the jade belt span, is a jade decoration inlaid on the belt. It is a status symbol used in ancient times to highlight official rank.
When jade belt boards are unearthed, they are often inlaid on leather belts, usually consisting of more than a dozen to twenty flat jade boards. Such leather belts inlaid with jade belt boards are called jade belts or large belts.
Our piece is one of sixteen pieces of flat jade, which is called a jade belt.
Only people with grades of three or above are qualified to wear it. Although this jade belt plate does not retain its integrity, it is a veritable official item. If there is anyone who likes this jade belt plate, you must not miss it. I declare
The bidding officially begins."
After the host explained, the auction was officially held. The starting price of this jade belt plate was 500,000!
The starting price is not low, but many rich people are ready to make a move.
Including Yang Zhenxiong also participated in it. After all, this official stuff is still relatively rare.
Soon the price of 1.5 million was auctioned. Seeing that Yang Zhenxiong was also competing, Cheng Tai'an called out the price twice symbolically.
"Brother Li, this is a toy from the Song Dynasty. Are you sure we don't want to take a photo of it?"
Li Yiyang said: "This is not a jade belt plate from the Song Dynasty. There is no need to take a picture."
In his previous life, he studied many antiques, among which he collected a jade belt plate from the Song Dynasty. It was a complete set and cost more than 40 million, and the collection value is constantly increasing.
So he could recognize at a glance that this was not a jade belt plate from the Song Dynasty.
Judging from the quality of the jade, it should be from the Ming Dynasty, but it is just an imitation of the style of the jade belt plate from the Song Dynasty.
Because this thing is not common, many people are unable to identify whether it is from the Song Dynasty. They can only roughly tell that it is not a modern artwork.
When Yang Zhenxiong was bidding, the deputy director did not stop him, which shows that he did not notice it.
How much moisture such an archaeologist has, he has no idea.
Now he finally knows why Yang Zhenxiong lost money.
After listening to Li Yiyang's explanation, Cheng Tai'an nodded clearly, and then looked at other people's bids.
Yang Zhenxiong, who was still bidding, was two seats away from Cheng Tai'an, so when he saw that Cheng Tai'an stopped bidding.
He smiled and asked: "Boss Cheng, why didn't you shout? This is a jade belt plate from the Song Dynasty. If you miss this time, I don't know where I can meet an official jade belt plate in the future!"
Cheng Tai'an: "A gentleman doesn't take what others like. If Boss Yang likes it, I won't fight."
Anyway, there are many people competing for it, and he is not the only one left.
The bidding is still going on, and someone has already offered a price of two million.
This is really a lot of money. Yang Zhenxiong looked at the deputy director on the side and asked: "Director Yu, do we still want to bid?"
"Of course you have to bid. I have seen this thing in the archaeological team. It is a jade belt plate composed of only twelve flat jade pieces. It was bought by a collector for five million.
These sixteen pieces of flat jade will only be more expensive and more valuable for collection!"
After hearing what Director Yu said, Yang Zhenxiong had no worries and directly took the photo from 2 million to 2.6 million.
This amount is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Those who wanted to take pictures of this jade belt board chose to give up.
Under the envious eyes of everyone, Yang Zhenxiong took a photo of this jade belt plate for 2.6 million.
Looking at his delighted expression, Cheng Tai'an could imagine what his expression would be like when he learned that the things he photographed were not from the Song Dynasty.
In this kind of auction, the consignor will state before the auction that he cannot guarantee the authenticity or quality of the auction objects, and he will not be liable for defects, and the appraisal given is only a rough estimate.
Therefore, even if the final photograph is inconsistent with the appraisal result, you do not need to bear any compensation.
Therefore, those who play this game are either not short of money or have hired professionals.
However, Yang Zhenxiong continues to bid there, which shows that the archaeological expert next to him is really in vain.
No, as soon as Yang Zhenxiong took a picture of the thing, he couldn't help but show it off to Cheng Tai'an and others: "Boss Cheng, you don't even want to buy something worth only 2.6 million yuan. Are you short of money? Lack of money and...
I said, I’ll lend it to you, and I won’t charge you any interest this time!”
His words reminded Cheng Tai'an of what happened back then, and he suddenly gasped in anger.
But now was not the time to get angry, so I didn't pay attention to him.
Yang Zhenxiong was just having fun with his words. Seeing that Cheng Tai'an was so angry, he stopped talking.
Next is the third auction item. At this time, a calligraphy and painting is being displayed on the display stand. The painting is enlarged several times on the oversized LED display, and the brush peaks, textures, etc. of the calligraphy and painting are clearly displayed on it.
.
The host introduced: This is a calligraphy and painting by Wang Wei, a famous poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty, called "Snow Creek Picture".
This picture has been lost for a long time, and calligraphy and paintings by Master Wang Wei rarely appear in auctions at home or abroad.
If there are distinguished guests who like Master Wang Wei's calligraphy and painting, be sure to keep your eyes open and take a look. Don't miss it. The starting price of this painting is 200,000 yuan.
As soon as the auctioneer's words came out, people in the hall started talking again.
Could this be an authentic painting by Wang Wei?
It does look quite similar, but if it doesn’t work, I have to step forward and take a closer look!
I think it must be fake. How could there be an authentic product like Master Wang Wei?
If you don’t believe it, forget it, I’ll go take a look anyway.
And I, I have to go take a closer look.
............
Many people who were ready to move came forward to watch.
Li Yiyang, who did not move in his seat, looked very calm on the surface.
In fact, he was extremely excited because what he wanted finally appeared.
At the same time, I have to lament that this painting deceived everyone, no wonder it couldn’t be photographed.
A layman may see that it is a high imitation made during the Ming Dynasty, during the Zhu Qizhen period, and there is an original painting hidden under this painting, which is the "Snowy Creek Picture" painted by Wang Wei.
I don’t know who framed the painting like this. Even the most famous artists might not be able to tell that it is a painting within a painting.
After hearing this, Xiao Nuan immediately refuted him: This painting is 100% fake and not the original work of Master Wang Wei.
"Director Yu, are these calligraphy and paintings real?" Yang Zhenxiong asked directly without stepping forward to watch.
