: Traffic lights, please support me at the beginning of the month~~~
Some of these bidders are patriotic people who want to do their part to promote the return of national treasures that have been exiled overseas, while others are just wealthy businessmen who have too much money to burn, do not understand the market, and are driving up the price because of their face.
Regardless of their purpose, these people are Chinese. Watching them spend their hard-earned money like water in Japanese auction houses to the Japanese, Yu Fei felt very uncomfortable. Wang Guangshui said
That's right, doing this is not promoting the return of the national treasure at all, but encouraging the arrogance of this kind of bandit. Something must be done to stop this behavior.
However, Yu Fei didn't know what to do at all. He had no experience in this area. He didn't have such a strong appeal to call on the Chinese buyers here to boycott the auction. What should he do?
The next lot is a Qianlong chicken vat cup from the Qing Dynasty. The auctioneer said in her soft voice.
The chicken pot cup is honored in Chenghua. More than two hundred years after Chenghua, there were imitations in the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, but the quality was low. The better imitations were made in the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, especially Qianlong.
For the best, Emperor Qianlong not only asked the imperial kilns in Jingdezhen at that time to imitate it, but also wrote poems about it.
A small cup was brought to the display stand in the center of the auction table by the emcee. At the same time, an image of a chicken vat cup was also displayed on the big screen.
At such a long distance, the auctioneer does not allow anyone to see or handle it on site, so there is no way to judge the authenticity.
But this was not difficult for Yu Fei, he guided a burst of chaotic energy to wrap around the chicken cup, and then his eyes lit up
Then he lay down and whispered a few words in Ma Shangdu and Dong Dechang's ears.
Both of them showed horrified looks.
"Xiao Fei, are you sure?" Ma Shangdu asked. Although he knew that Yu Fei was very lucky and had high identification skills, otherwise how could he pick up the missing items one after another, but even he couldn't tell from such a long distance.
Authenticity, how did Yu Fei see that something was wrong?
Yes, Xiao Fei, this matter is of great importance. It is not easy to make false claims without being completely sure. Dong Dechang also said.
When they heard Yu Fei say that the Qianlong Doucai Chicken Cup was a fake, the two of them still couldn't believe it.
It should be known that although it is common to pass off inferior goods as good and fake as real at auctions, such cases are still relatively rare at large foreign auctions.
The two lots sold at the beginning of this Chinese art auction by Schist Auction House were both of high quality. It was obvious that this was a high-standard auction. Schist is also the leading auction house in Japan.
, if they are found out for doing such a thing, it will have a huge impact on their reputation.
And generally speaking, fakes at auctions will be placed in the middle and late stages, because at the beginning of the auction, the bidders are very awake and even a little vigilant. At this time, the chance of being discovered when selling fakes is much higher.
. Later, driven by the atmosphere of the scene, the bidders will be more or less enthusiastic, or they may follow the trend and blindly take action after seeing others taking action one after another. In this way, the success rate of counterfeit auctions will be much higher.
In fact, most cases of fakes being discovered at auctions are after the lot has been delivered, and very few cases are revealed on the spot.
Uncle Dong and Brother Ma, believe me. I saw this chicken pot cup at a private exchange meeting in Japan. The biggest flaw that is undoubtedly a fake is its signature. Yu Fei said. He can't possibly say this.
Everything was concluded after Chaos Qi carefully observed it, and he pretended that he had seen it before. Anyway, neither Dong Dechang nor Ma Shang knew what he did in Japan, and he did participate in a private
exchange meeting, but I didn’t see this chicken bowl cup.
Although the good Dong Dechang was not sure, he believed in his disciples and Yu Fei. He patted the handrail and said: I'm betting all my reputation on you. If the bet is wrong, you have to support me in my old age.
It was not easy for Dong Dechang to make such a decision. He had managed to accumulate such a reputation over decades. If this Qianlong chicken vat cup is not a fake as Yu Fei said, but a genuine one, then Dong Dechang's lifelong
His fame is all gone, and he may really have to rely on Yu Fei to support himself in his old age.
Such a bet was not a small one, but Dong Dechang was willing to gamble everything he had, obviously to support himself, which moved Yu Fei very much.
Since Mr. Dong is willing to gamble, I have nothing to say. I have gambled my whole life and the autumn of the grass and trees. It is too unrestrained to have too many worries. Ma Shangdu said with narrowed eyes.
It was beyond Yu Fei's expectation that Ma Shangdu could agree. You must know that Ma Shangdu doesn't have much contact with Yu Fei, that is, they have more contact recently because of antique exhibitions, and he doesn't know much about Fei.
Dong Dechangshen.
There is no trace of chaos in this Qianlong chicken vat cup, so it is undoubtedly a fake. However, Yu Fei's behavior of inviting Ma Shangdu and Dong Dechang to expose the Hist Auction House in public cannot but be said to be too outrageous.
Although Yu Fei exposed Sotheby's auction in public in London, since Yu Fei has been unknown, even if he was wrong, there would be no loss.
This time, Yu Fei didn't stand up and point out Heist's counterfeiting behavior. Of course, he didn't care about feathers and was unwilling to take risks. It was because he had other plans.
Exposing Hester's counterfeit sales is only the first step
Yu Fei stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them very sincerely.
Yu Fei greatly admired both of them for their appraisal level and conduct.
Just when Dong Dechang was about to stand up and speak, he was stopped by Ma Shangdu: Mr. Dong, for this kind of thing, let us juniors charge into the battle. You, hold down the battle and take the helm.
Xiao Ma, I am already an old man, this reputation doesn't matter to me, but you are still young, so I still have to do this. Dong Dechang is not willing to let Ma Shangdu take the lead.
Ma Shangdu smiled and stood up. He didn't give Dong Dechang a chance to stop him and said loudly: "Wait a minute."
At this time, the bidding for the Qianlong Chicken Crock Cup has begun. The price has risen rapidly from the base price of US$20,000 to US$50,000.
In recent years, the value of Dou Cai Chicken Cup has increased rapidly, and therefore it has been sought after by many people.
Ma Shangdu's sound, like a spring thunder, suddenly cooled down the hot auction scene.
Because Yu Fei and others were sitting relatively far back, many people turned around to see what was going on and who interrupted the auction.
Teacher Ma Ma Shangdu was so famous that many people at the scene immediately recognized his short hair and small eyes that could not be seen when he smiled.
Teacher Ma is also here, that’s great, some people say so. Many collectors have limited appraisal skills, so they are very unconfident, and they feel an inexplicable sense of dependence when they see experts.
Teacher Ma was so happy that many people at the scene greeted Ma Shangdu one after another, and Ma Shangdu also nodded frequently.
At this time, Dong Dechang also stood up. Compared to Ma Shangdu, fewer people knew Dong Dechang, mainly because the area Dong Dechang influenced was in the south. However, some people still recognized him.
Mr. Dong, you are here too. Do you still remember me? A man shouted: Last time in Ningdu, you helped me appraise a painting by Qi Baishi.
Come on, Mr. Dong appraises so many antiques every day, how will he remember you and the other person joked.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter.
The auction was interrupted as a result. Yu Fei couldn't help but lamented that Ma and Dong had such great influence. The two of them had such a repercussions as soon as they spoke out. If he had spoken out to stop the auction, he would probably be hit to death by a brick.
.
Sir, what are you doing interrupting the auction? The beautiful auctioneer asked.
Yes, why did Ma Shangdu interrupt the auction? Thinking of this question, the scene suddenly became silent.
Ma Shangdu smiled slightly and said: Very simple, I suspect that this Qianlong chicken cup is a fake.
What scene suddenly reminded me of a burst of discussion.
Did I hear you right? Teacher Ma said that this chicken bowl cup was wrong. Someone said in disbelief: Isn’t Japan a country that is ashamed of making and selling fakes? How could there be fakes in their auctions?
Japan has always flaunted itself as being ashamed of fake selling prices, which has deceived many Chinese people into thinking that the items auctioned by Japanese auction houses are all genuine.
At this time, Ma Shangdu's words can be said to have caused thousands of waves. Many people pointed the finger at the Hist Auction House. If this matter is true, then the reputation of the Hist Auction House will be ruined.
The beautiful auctioneer is obviously not particularly experienced. She was originally a gimmick launched by Schister, a tool to attract attention. Who would have thought that there would be doubts at the scene?
But she quickly calmed down and asked loudly: You said this Qianlong chicken cup is a fake. Do you have any evidence?
Yes. Some people looked at Ma Shangdu again. Although you, Teacher Ma, are famous, you must have a basis for what you say.
The evidence was so far away that Ma Shang didn't even see it clearly. Where to find the evidence? To be continued...
