Dong Dechang didn't expect that he would meet someone who knew him here. He turned around and said with a smile: "It's Xiao Wang. You are here to join in the fun."
Xiao Wang's full name is Wang Guangshui. He is in his early forties, has a small fortune, loves collecting, and is somewhat famous in the Ningdu area.
I can't join in the fun. Wang Guangshui said: With my little wealth, I can't buy He's Bi, but I'm afraid I can only see this once in my life. I can't miss it no matter what, so I bought one.
The ticket has arrived.
Wang Guangshui's thoughts are also the thoughts of many people who came to the scene today. He's Bi is so famous that if it is auctioned, it will definitely cost hundreds of millions. Not everyone can come up with such a sum of money, even Wang Guangshui
He has a lot of money, but he doesn't dare to have any thoughts of getting involved.
Dong Dechang smiled and nodded, pointed at Ma Shangdu and said: Xiao Wang, you are a collector, do you recognize him?
Oops, isn't this Teacher Ma? I often see you on TV, but this time I can see you in person. Wang Guangshui quickly shook hands with Ma Shang, and they found a relatively quiet place to sit down.
Mr. Dong, what do you think this is all about? All of China’s precious works of art are abroad, and now even Heshibi has gone to Japan. Although Wang Guangshui is not young, he has not changed his feelings as an angry youth.
By the way, Mr. Dong, didn't I hear that the Heshi Bi has been changed into the Imperial Seal? Why did Wang Guangshui appear again now and asked curiously?
After the news came out that the Hist Auction House in Japan would auction the He's Bi, many scholars conducted research on the He's Bi. They all concluded that the He's Bi had been made into a jade seal passed down from the country. They believed that the He's Bi would be auctioned by Hist.
The so-called He's Bi is nothing but a fabrication.
Although many people support this statement, there is a lack of very solid evidence and historical data. Most of the basis is based on oral legends, which lacks certain persuasiveness.
That’s why collectors like Wang Guangshui come to Japan to find out.
Wang Guangshui's question is actually the thinking of many people at the moment. Dong Dechang pondered for a while and said: Although there is such a legend, there is no conclusive evidence.
"Then you mean to say that Xisit's piece of He's jade is real?" Wang Guangshui said with wide eyes.
Yu Fei was secretly amused. This man is already in his forties. Why is he still so reckless? Dong Dechang just said that there was no evidence. Where did he say that the Heshi Bi that was auctioned in Japan was true?
That's not entirely true. Dong Dechang said: Although I have not seen the so-called He's Bi with my own eyes, I still don't believe that He's Bi exists in Japan.
Dong Dechang said very seriously. But if there is no basis for this, I'm afraid it can only reflect Dong Dechang's good wish.
While a few people were talking, some people came in one after another in the auction venue. More than 80% of them were Chinese. Most of the rest were Japanese. There were also a few European and American foreigners here and there. Their golden hair was very eye-catching. In an instant,
, Yu Fei thought he had entered a domestic auction house.
To everyone's surprise, the auctioneer who presided over the auction turned out to be a woman under thirty years old. She had a beautiful face and a hot figure. Although her clothes could not be said to be revealing, the places that should be exposed were exposed.
A lot of places that should be exposed are also exposed.
Is he here to sell antiques or sell meat? Yu Fei muttered in a low voice.
What surprised Yu Fei even more was that the auctioneer actually used Chinese. You should know that although many salespersons in luxury jewelry stores in Japan and South Korea are trained to speak Chinese, at foreign auctions, the auctioneers actually use Chinese to auction, so
This situation is rare, and it seems that Heist Auction House is determined to deceive the Chinese.
The auctioneer didn't say much. After simply expressing his welcome, he started this exciting auction.
At this time, the entire auction house was already full of people.
Mr. Dong, you said we can't take action this time. Wang Guangshui asked in a low voice: "I have heard people say before that participating in foreign auctions to bid for domestic antiques is condoning foreign banditry. We need to unite to resist them."
Wang Guangshui's words seemed a bit naive. Although many antique collectors boycotted foreign auction houses, they still could not curb the rise in prices of Chinese art.
Let's take a look at the situation first, Dong Dechang said. The purpose of both he and Ma Shang coming here is to see the authenticity of He's Bi, and they have no interest in other antiques auctioned by Hist. As for boycotting Hist's auction, that's
It is necessary to unite the buyers present, otherwise, a small group of people will have no way to stop the auction. Even the appeal of Dong Dechang and Ma Shangdu cannot achieve such an effect.
The first piece in the collection is a copper body made of filigree enamel and inlaid with jade longevity peach Ruyi from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Ruyi used copper as the body, gilded it, applied transparent enamel glaze, inlaid jade, and was engraved with the Qianlong Emperor's four characters and two lines of regular script.
As we all know, Qianlong liked Ruyi very much. Under his instruction and advocacy, the manufacture and use of Ruyi in the palace reached an unprecedented prosperity. In terms of indoor furnishings alone, it has reached the point where everyone is sitting around and takes the lead.
Chen Ruyi was so popular that even Macartney, the British envoy to China in the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong's reign, described in his account of the interview of the British envoy of Qianlong that he visited every palace or house he passed in Wanshuyuan, the summer resort.
If there is a throne, there must be Ruyi next to it. As for the happy festivals and birthdays of the emperor, queen and queen mother, the ministers will naturally pay tribute to Ruyi to express their blessings; it is indispensable in the emperor's rewards and even gifts to foreign envoys; even the emperor's gifts are indispensable.
It has also become indispensable in major ceremonies such as weddings.
The starting price of the auction for Ruyi, a copper-embossed cloisonné enamel inlaid jade peach, is US$20,000. Considering the particularity of this auction, the settlement is in US dollars.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a Chinese man sitting in the back row raised the price to 30,000 yuan.
The market price of this Ruyi is about 250,000 RMB, which is a little over 30,000 US dollars.
But the increase in price was beyond Yu Fei's expectation. Thirty-forty-five thousand
When Ruyi's price exceeded 80,000 US dollars, it was already more than twice its true value, but the bidders continued.
Wang Guangshui had a dumbfounded expression on his face, while Yu Fei was thoughtful. It seemed that these Chinese people had negotiated and competed to send money to the Japanese~
In the end, the market price of the copper-embossed filigree enamel-inlaid longevity peach Ruyi was only around US$30,000, and it was sold for a high price of US$150,000, which increased five times.
"Grandma, what's going on?" Wang Guangshui said in a daze.
The people participating in the bidding for the Ruyi peach with cloisonné and enamel inlaid with jade were all Chinese, as if the price they shouted was not US dollars but RMB. This is too irrational.
Yu Fei smiled bitterly and said: Mr. Wang, the resistance you just mentioned is an ideal, but what you see now is probably reality. When dreams meet reality, there will always be a lot of dust and scum coming out of the water, which is disgusting.
The second lot is a pair of Jihong bowls from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The bowls have a slender mouth, a deep curved belly, a ring-shaped base, and a six-character regular script inscription made in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty on the bottom. They are utensils from the official kilns of the Yongzheng Dynasty. The inner wall is plain white, and the outer wall is covered with red glaze. There are lamp grass openings. The color is rich and bright, and the tone is calm and solemn. This kind of color glaze has become the special color for emperors to offer sacrifices since the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, and continued to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Also known as offering sacrifices to the red, the utensils seen are found in the suburban sun altar to offer sacrifices to the sun.
During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Gong Jun wrote a Jingdezhen pottery song and said: The most difficult thing to do in ancient kilns is to use good workmanship to make Jihong. The frosty and clear paintings are carefully combined, and the same ones are fired in hundreds of different ways. From this we can see how difficult it is to make Jihong. It is not easy to make pure sacrificial red glaze. This Ji red glaze bowl is preserved in pairs, which makes it even more precious.
In the end, this red bowl from the Yongzheng period, worth about US$25,000, was bought by a woman in her thirties for US$100,000.
The entire auction site was noisy. I don’t know whether it was because the auctioneer was wearing too few clothes or because there were so many people collecting antiques. Everyone was very involved in bidding and discussing. The transaction price was often higher than the actual price. Several times and above.
Yu Fei frowned, absolutely not allowing this situation to continue. To be continued...
