Xiao Gongyun smiled and nodded. He spread his palms facing the blue and white porcelain plum blossom bowl on the counter. The smile on his face instantly disappeared and he said seriously: "The Song Qing and white porcelain plum blossom bowl is absolutely authentic. It is an object fired by Hutian kiln. It is in good condition."
In good condition, the base price is 2 million, and each increase in price will not be less than 100,000. If you are interested, please come forward to check it out."
Being able to say the word "absolute" from Xiao Gongyun's mouth means that this blue and white glazed porcelain bowl is 100% authentic. Two million is just a starting price. Song porcelain in good condition like this can easily be sold at international auctions.
It sold for more than five million, or even higher.
When everyone present saw the authentic Song Dynasty porcelain, they couldn't sit still. One by one, they started to leave their seats and come forward to check it out. Of course, they couldn't play with it with their hands. At best, they could only get closer to satisfy their eyes. That's the rule. If you really like it,
If you spend money to buy it, even if you smash it into a corner of the wall and hear the sound, no one will say a word.
"Two million two million... No, add one hundred thousand more, two million three hundred thousand." Finally, an old man in Tang suit offered a price, which increased by as much as three hundred thousand in one go.
"Two million and six hundred thousand..." Another middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes quoted a price, and went straight up to another 300,000 yuan.
"Three million." The person who made the bid this time was an old man with silver hair and beard. He picked a round number as soon as he opened his mouth. Just three people raised the low price by one million, which is enough to prove the value of this object.
In fact, no matter what kind of auction it is, don’t rush to bid on the things you bring out at the beginning. According to common sense, the auctioneer will save the best things for the finale. However, this private auction is obviously contrary to common sense.
A fine piece of Hutian Kiln Song porcelain, and the base price is so low that it makes people feel like they are missing out. Many people are secretly speculating, what kind of mystery does it contain?
"Three and a half million." It was the old man in Tang suit who made the first offer. This time he raised the price by half a million, showing that he would not give up until he got the porcelain.
"Old man Zhuang, you are too stingy. Why don't you let me help you add some ingredients?" The one who spoke was the old man with a silver beard who had just bid. He glanced at the old man in Tang suit with a smile, pointed to the plum blossom bowl on the table and said
: "I offered five million, and even if it were thrown into the auction house, the price would be almost the same."
"Old man Sun, you're like a bird, you're like a bear and you're destined to be a grandson. It's fair, I've written it down, eight million."
A porcelain bowl was raised by two old men who were at least 150 years old over several rounds, raising the price four times, which also gave those who had the mentality of picking up leaks completely hopeless, and they could only shake their heads and quit voluntarily.
This battle between 'coffin boards'.
Two old men with loess buried up to their necks were pinching each other. Isn't this a dispute over the coffin board? The happiest people were Xiao Gongzheng and the owner of the collection. They wished that these two old men would pinch each other, and it would be best to lift this Song Dynasty porcelain bowl.
With the sky-high price, this auction is more than half a success.
"Eight million is a lot? I'll pay ten million. This bowl would be good to buy as a cat food bowl." Old man Sun is nearly seventy years old, but he still has a temper that refuses to admit defeat.
He directly added two million without saying anything, and secretly asked Mr. Zhuang to make it clear that this bowl was bought to feed the cats. Even if someone robbed it, it was just a cat food bowl.
"Hmph! It's so generous. Do you think you are the only one raising cats? I will pay eleven million." Old Man Zhuang showed no sign of weakness and opened his mouth to add another one million.
"Thirteen million." Old Man Sun glared and added another two million. This price was far beyond the value of the antique itself, and it became a dispute between the two old men.
Everyone in the hall began to expect Mr. Zhuang to raise the price again. Most people present knew that the two families of Zhuang and Sun were old rivals who had been fighting in the shopping mall for decades. It was reasonable for the organizers to fight each other in this situation.
The two old men with hot tempers were probably invited here with the intention of making them fight each other.
While everyone was waiting as if they were watching a show, Old Man Zhuang smiled and spread his hands. Shi Shiran walked back to his seat and said unhurriedly: "Congratulations, your cat has a good food bowl."
At the critical moment, Old Man Zhuang actually chose to give up rationally. This result was unexpected by everyone. The old man slowly drank tea with his feet up, his face full of pride, as if he was the real winner.
.
On the other hand, Old Man Sun's face looked a little ugly. He gritted his teeth and snorted. He took out a checkbook from his pocket and wrote a few words. He tore off a piece and slapped it on the table.
Xiao Gongyun smiled calmly and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Sun, for winning the Song Dynasty porcelain plum blossom bowl. After the auction, someone will deliver the object you took to your house."
Old Man Sun nodded expressionlessly, strode back to his seat, and finally gave Old Man Sun a hard look.
Xu Qing was mostly sleepy at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the porcelain bowl on the table. He never imagined that such an object could be sold for tens of millions of dollars. It was simply incredible.
"Brother, let me tell you a little secret." Young Master Tang turned his head and blinked at Xu Qing mysteriously.
"What?" Xu Qing leaned to the side. Young Master Tang covered half of his mouth with his palm and whispered: "This Song porcelain bowl was also bought by my father for 600,000 yuan, and it was broken.
The fake bottles together cost 1.2 million."
Xu Qing's heart was slightly shocked. Something worth 1.2 million was sold for 13 million. Isn't this ridiculous? The problem is that one of them broke into pieces, which is equivalent to twenty times the amount. This money is so easy to come by.
Faster than robbing a bank!
At this moment, Xiao Gongyun had already asked someone to put away the porcelain bowl on the table. He bent down and took out an object from the box at his feet and placed it on the table. It turned out to be a twenty centimeter-high three-legged bronze jue.
The surface is already stained with patina, but the general shape is clear, making it a rare masterpiece.
Xiao Gongyuan spread his palms, pointed at the bronze knight with his fingertips, and said calmly: "A bronze knight from the Yin Shang Dynasty, the base price is 300,000, and each increase in price will not be less than 20,000. If you are interested, please come forward and inspect the instrument."
"Brother, let's go up and have a look together?" Young Master Tang was somewhat interested in this bronze knight and casually invited Xu Qing to come forward to inspect the instrument.
"Okay, let's just treat it as a visit to the museum." Xu Qing didn't show any pretense. He left his seat and walked to the stage with Young Master Tang. Mr. Wu paced up and followed him unhurriedly. Young Master Tang was interested.
Naturally, he had to go up and verify the authenticity of the object.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
Before Xu Qing and Young Master Tang had a clear look at the appearance of the Bronze Lord, someone had already made a bid.
