In Xuande Building, the competition between Dongjiang Collection Association and Binhai Collection Association continues.
During the entire "Taobao" process, Shen Yu and Zhang Qiyun did not say a single word, but they both saw the antiques held in each other's arms.
Although they looked at each other silently, there seemed to be invisible sparks violently touching each other where their eyes met, and the atmosphere was so tense that the viewers of the live broadcast app held their breath and stopped scrolling.
No one can afford to lose in this competition on behalf of their respective collection associations!
Just by looking at the color of the paper, you can tell that the ancient painting in Shen Yu Huaizhong is an authentic work from the ancients. The paper is slightly yellowed and has a historical charm that has been accumulated over the years. This makes Zhang Qiyun a little bit murmuring in his heart.
There is no fixed value for ancient paintings. At large auctions, prices have ranged from hundreds of millions to hundreds of millions.
Such market conditions made him feel even more stressed.
As for the "Doucai Tianzi Jar" held in Zhang Qiyun's arms, Shen Yu was also very familiar with it, because he himself had such a genuine official kiln treasure.
Of course, Shen Yu did not think that the Tianzi jar in Zhang Qiyun's arms was a genuine official kiln from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, but he also understood that if it was an official imitation of the Ming or Qing dynasties, its value would be high.
He lowered his head again and looked at the authentic painting by Wang Yuan of the Yuan Dynasty in his hand. The transcendent painting skills, the lifelike crane, and the rich atmosphere of Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and painting could definitely be worth several million, or even over ten million.
But Shen Yu knew clearly that in this contest, this painting might not necessarily be able to defeat his opponent.
"This game is not stable!"
The same idea appeared in both of their minds.
So, the two immediately returned to the shelf and began to race against time to find a bigger "leak".
"Hey, why are there so many unframed ancient paintings piled up here?"
Shen Yu discovered a pile of strange things at the bottom of a certain shelf. There were dozens of volumes of ancient paintings with slightly yellowed paper.
What's even more interesting is that most of these paintings are not framed, or have not been completed after being reframed.
One roll after another, some of the scrolls have worn edges, and some seem to be covered in thick dust, as if they had been forgotten by the people in the shop.
I really want to look for it, but time waits for no one. I can’t finish all the ancient paintings on display. How can I find the time to look for them?
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A group of dazzling treasures the size of pebbles suddenly emerged from the pile of ancient paintings. The light was dazzling, like stars falling in the dark night.
"The golden light is the size of a pebble. How is this possible???"
Even though Shen Yu is now worth hundreds of millions, and has dozens of calligraphy and paintings by ancient famous artists and official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was still a little confused at the moment when the pebble-like golden light appeared.
There are three paintings by Shen Yu from the Song Dynasty, each of which can be called a masterpiece.
The first painting is the original painting "Fish Playing in Water" by Liu Cai, the first person to paint fish. The fish playing in the water are depicted so lifelike, as if they will jump out of the painting in the next second.
The second painting is the anonymous "Panasonic Game Picture". In the painting, two old men are focused on playing chess under the Matsushita, and there is also an old Taoist priest who is watching the chess game. The stream is flowing next to it, with fish jumping into the water and cranes flying in the clouds. It makes people feel You will feel a peaceful and fairy-like atmosphere.
The third painting is the authentic "Six Monkeys" by Yi Yuanji, a famous ape painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the painting, the six macaques are sitting or walking, hanging upside down or upright, scratching or jumping and chasing each other. They are lifelike and vivid on the paper. , vividly depicts the agility and playfulness of the monkey.
But even so, Shen Yu did not have a Song Dynasty painting that could emit golden light like pebbles.
What does the golden light represent?
It means that among this pile of tattered calligraphy and paintings there are authentic paintings from the Song Dynasty, and this painting was made by a top painter of the Song Dynasty.
In other words, a golden light the size of a pebble = a priceless treasure.
For a moment, Shen Yu felt that there must be such a thing as "luck" in the world.
That’s right!
Absolutely!
Let’s not talk about people like my grandfather, Zhonglou. Even a veteran collector of antiques for decades has a very sharp eye.
But many people only pick up a few small leaks in their lifetime.
If you encounter a big leak once in your life, it will be considered a high price.
I have encountered it so many times, what else can I say besides luck?
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a hawk. He lowered his body and carefully picked up an unframed drawing paper, trying to find the source of the golden light.
At the same time, Zhang Qiyun was also nervously searching on the shelves in the porcelain area not far away.
At this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
His background is not as good as Shen Yu's, his backstage skills are not as good, and his eyesight is half-assed at best, so he is very aware of the importance of this contest.
If you win, you will rise step by step in the association and in the entire antique collecting world.
If you lose, you will fall directly to the bottom!
His eyes quickly scanned the various porcelain on the shelves, not missing any corner where treasures might be hidden.
…
"Everyone, you might as well take a guess, who will win the final victory in this competition of treasure appraisal skills? Is it the Dongjiang Collection Association or the Binhai Collection Association?"
Seeing Shen Yu and Zhang Qiyun starting a new round of "Taobao", the audience in the live broadcast room became active again.
"In my opinion, Teacher Shen's crane painting is not simple. Take a closer look. The paper color of this painting does not look like something from modern times. It might be a Tang painting or Song Dynasty painting. I think this time Dongjiang The Collectors Association has a winning chance!"
However, someone immediately retorted: "That's nonsense! Why do you think the Dongjiang Collection Association will win? Although the painting is exquisite, the brushwork is weak and lacks quaint charm. It is definitely not an authentic work.
"Look at Xiao Zhang from our Binhai Association. Although his appearance is not as good as that pretty boy, in terms of treasure appraisal skills, he is a rare talent that can only be seen in a century.
"In one year, someone continuously picked up porcelain from the official kilns of the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, as well as an authentic work by Zheng Banqiao. Who can do this?"
"Yes, the guy named Shen Yu looks like a pretty boy with no real skills at first glance. How can he compare with Expert Zhang? Expert Zhang has been on a TV treasure appraisal program, and he had a particularly good temper during the audition!"
Everyone was arguing with each other.
At this time, Shen Xiyue, who had been watching from the sidelines, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He is the owner of Xuande Building and the anchor of this live broadcast.
With a slight click of the mouse, he quickly used the anchor's authority to clear the public screen in the live broadcast room.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, he slowly said: "Everyone, I am Shen Xiyue, everyone calls me Uncle Shen.
"Of course, you can also call me Lao Shen.
"Now I will ask you a question about antique appreciation. If anyone can answer it, you can enjoy a 20% discount when you come to Xuande Building to buy antiques in the future.
"However, this discount is only limited to antiques worth less than one million."
