Volume II Unreal World Chapter 793 Cowpea Red Glazed Vase
I saw two hostesses, each holding a tray with two pieces of porcelain on them, slowly walking to the auction stand, and then placing the two pieces of porcelain on the exhibition stand.
As soon as these two items came out, they immediately caused an uproar. Even Qin Fen's eyes lit up. This pair of items turned out to be cowpea red glaze flasks. Let's not talk about the dynasty, but the rarity was enough to cause such a big stir.
It was a sensation.
"Qin Fen, you are so talented. It turns out to be a cowpea red glaze flask. It's really rare!" Xu Hongming couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, let alone a pair, just one like this is probably considered a rare treasure." Tao Boru also looked excited.
"Uh... you two, I really don't know about this. I have never seen these two things before. I don't know who commissioned them!" Qin Fen looked helpless. It seems that Zhao Qiongqiong did not.
Less good stuff.
"So that's it. Then tell me, what dynasty does this cowpea red glaze belong to?!" Xu Hongming suddenly became interested.
"Haha, President Xu, are you going to test me?!" Qin Fen said with a bitter smile.
"Anyway, you have free time, let's study it together." Xu Hongming said with a smile.
Seeing Xu Hongming's high elegance, Qin Fen also smiled and said: "Since President Xu feels bored, let's talk in private!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, his eyes fell on the pair of long-necked bottles with cowpea red glaze. He saw that each long-necked bottle was surrounded by a circle of rich soul energy. It was obvious that this thing was real. Looking at it again
The workmanship on it seemed to be very thick, and there were no impurities. The red glaze was pure and typical cowpea red, so he should have guessed it without looking at the markings on the sole.
"President Xu, what I see looks like porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, what do you think?!"
"Haha, you are really good. I think you not only know that it is from the Qing Dynasty, but also know that it is from the specific period of the Qing Dynasty, right?!" Xu Hongming nodded and said with a smile.
"Looking at the glaze color, it should be from the Kangxi period." Qin Fen said without any secret.
"Yes, it looks similar to me." Xu Hongming nodded again.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they heard the auctioneer already making introductions.
"What you are seeing now is a pair of cowpea red glaze long-necked vases from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. They are in good condition, with pure glaze color, and the bottoms are fully marked, proving that they are products of the official kiln. The belly is bulging and the neck is long. It is
It is a very rare porcelain in the market, and it is a pair, so I don’t need to say more about its collection value and market value.”
"Is it really the cowpea red glaze from the Kangxi reign?!"
At this time, some people in the audience were already helpless.
"I think everyone is very clear about Qin Bao's reputation now, and Director Zhao said before that if we find fakes in Qin Bao, we will not only refund the full amount, but also get a large amount of compensation! So,
Please put down your bidding!" the auctioneer smiled again.
"What's the starting price? I'm interested in this thing." At this time, a middle-aged man said even more anxiously.
"Haha, as we all know, there are very few porcelains preserved in pairs, so the market price will be higher. This pair of cowpea flasks is a pair of rare treasures in itself, and it is a pair, so the starting price is five
million!"
"Eight million!"
As soon as these words came out, he spoke directly before and directly raised the sign to add three million. I have to say that this is the first time I have seen this kind of auction. Some people are really generous with their money.
"I'm afraid, this pair of cowpea red glaze long-necked bottles will break the auction record." At this time, Xu Hongming said with seriousness on his face.
Tao Boru nodded slightly.
"I'm very curious now, which client does this pair of flasks belong to?" Qin Fen had a look of confusion on his face and glanced at the people in the front row.
Everyone's faces were filled with admiration, but one person's expression was particularly calm. It seemed that this thing did not attract him at all.
This person was none other than Zheng Boyuan, the boss of Yun Gu Tang. Seeing the other person's expression, Qin Fen flashed a smile on his face, then whispered to Xu Hongming and Tao Boru, and walked directly towards Zheng Boyuan.
When Zheng Boyuan was watching the auction with a leisurely expression, he noticed that Qin Fen had come over with a smile on his face and hurriedly vacated a seat.
"Master Qin, congratulations to you for taking care of Hongsheng so happily. What's more, what you did this time was very satisfying. Didn't you see that there are many more people here today??! I just looked at it, are there any?
The few people who used to be regular customers of Hongsheng Auction Company, now it seems that they have all switched sides."
Zheng Boyuan looked at Qin Fen and said happily.
"Hey, Mr. Zheng, to be honest, this matter is thanks to everyone's help. However, I have no interest in these people. If they are here to take pictures, then I welcome them. Others, I will just take care of them. After all, Jin Mo is
I still know the truth about blackness!" Qin Fen scratched his head and chuckled.
"Well, I actually want to remind you of this. To put it bluntly, these people are doing everything. They are a mixed bag, so it's best not to have anything to do with them."
"Mr. Zheng, these pair of cowpea red glazed flasks are yours, right?!" Qin Fen suddenly changed the subject and asked the other party.
Zheng Boyuan was startled, and then he glanced at Qin Fen in surprise, because when he had people deliver the pair of flasks before, he had told Zhao Qiongqiong not to let Zhao Qiongqiong know that it was him who sent them. Zhao Qiongqiong also agreed at the time.
After coming down, I didn't expect that this girl would still tell Qin Fen the truth.
After all, Qin Fen knew the price of this thing, he was just afraid that Qin Fen would find out and then Qin Fen would refuse.
"Haha, did Director Zhao tell you this?!"
"Haha, no, I just took a look. Normally, most people would be shocked when such a rare treasure appears, but you are the only one who looks calm. So, there are only two situations. Either you are well-informed and don't care about this.
Things are seen very lightly, and there is another thing, this thing itself is something in your hand, and my guess is that this thing is something you treasure."
Qin Fen smiled and then expressed his thoughts.
"Haha, you guy, nothing can escape your eyes. Yes, this thing is indeed my personal collection!" Zheng Boyuan no longer needed to hide it at this moment, and said with a smile.
Hearing the other party's affirmative reply, Qin Fen felt moved in his heart and said hurriedly: "Mr. Zheng, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to take out your private possessions for auction. But I, Qin Fen, am ignorant.
.”
"What are you talking about?! Your kindness to my Zheng family can be measured by more than two pieces of porcelain?! I was worried that you would think too much, so I told Director Zhao not to tell you the truth! These
Things are only external things, as long as you can help others, it is considered a blessing." Zheng Boyuan said.
"Haha, thank you very much, Mr. Zheng. Don't worry, I will give all the money from this auction to Mr. Zheng!"
"You guy, if you say that again, you're really going to slap me in the face." Zheng Boyuan feigned anger.
Seeing Zheng Boyuan's expression, Qin Fen could only lower his head and smile bitterly.
"I'll pay 80 million!"
Just then, someone shouted again, the price was already 80 million.
"Mr. Zheng, how much did you pay for this pair of flasks?!" Qin Fen couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It's been a while. I remember one time I went shopping in the countryside and saw it at a farmhouse. I only had less than 30,000 yuan at the time, so I gave them 20,000 yuan."
"This is really a mistake." As he spoke, Qin Fen couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Yes, especially the current market price, the porcelain market from the Ming and Qing Dynasties has always been the mainstay. Although the price has not been optimistic, it has been showing an upward trend. Especially last year, I heard that in Hong Kong, a piece of Kangxi
The official kiln colored glaze was sold for 100 million. To be honest, the quality and appearance of that thing are not as good as ours, so I think if nothing happens today, it will be worth 200 million!"
Zheng Boyuan nodded and explained to Qin Fen.
"Well, I think it's about the same. The glazes of the Kangxi period have always been very mysterious, especially the cowpea glaze color. It was one of the most precious glaze colors during the Kangxi period. Because its color is like the color of cowpea, it got the name, cowpea.
Because glazed porcelain is difficult to fire, there are very few large ones that have been handed down. This pair of long-necked bottles is a special case, so even if it costs 200 million, it cannot fully represent its value.
.”
Qin Fen said in agreement.
"In fact, later on, there were many imitations of cowpea red glaze, but because it was too difficult to fire, it was extremely difficult to imitate. There was also cowpea glaze in the Yongzheng period, but it was no longer as pure. The imitations in the early Ming Dynasty were still up to par.
When it is not at the level of the Kangxi period, it always lacks a bit of charm, so the value cannot be measured by money!" Zheng Boyuan said again.
"So, I'm telling you, Mr. Zheng, it's somewhat inappropriate for you to take it out like this without consulting me. Aren't I obviously trying to win people's love?!" Qin Fen said a little embarrassed.
"You kid, I wish I knew your thoughts. No matter how precious they are, aren't they all external things?! Just like Pan Ming, he collected it all his life, but later on, his life was involved in it. What's the use?!" Zheng Boyuan said this
At this moment, a look of helplessness could not help but appear on his face.
"Yes, fortunately, now my spirit is in heaven and can rest in peace."
"I have to thank you for this. You have to take more care of Yuyue from now on. She is different from other girls."
"Not the same?! Do you mean she lost her father when she was a child?!" Qin Fen asked.
"Well... let's just say, some things have passed, so it's better not to talk about it!"
Zheng Boyuan's expression changed, and he finally said helplessly.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Qin Fen vaguely felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while.
Moreover, at this time, this cowpea red glaze long-neck bottle has been priced at a high price of 230 million.
