Zhang Donggao said with a smile: "This is normal, because these are not stamps from the same period. ”

In addition to Xiao Yao and Wang Xiaoxian, Yu Zongwen and Tang Tianhao also had such doubts, and they all listened patiently.

Zhang Donggao's explanation is very detailed and clear.

The "Three Seals" of the "Continuation" were between the 56th and 58th years of Qianlong, and the "Five Seals of Qianlong" were generally made between the 10th and 56th years of Qianlong when the "Initial Edition" was completed.

Counterfeiting doesn't have that effect.

"Qianlong Five Seals" uses a very special ink, and basically close to the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty material formula, after hundreds of years the color is still red, and the seasoning is a mixture of oil and water, so the color can be seen to have a sense of grain, this kind of ink to the late Qianlong and Jiaqing period is basically extinct, a few decades later the Jiaqing Emperor in the calligraphy and painting on the seal part of the use of the same ink with Qianlong, some of the use of the oil printing clay at that time, so there will be more obvious differences.

This phenomenon can often be seen in the old Qing court collections exhibited in museums.

There are many examples, but to illustrate the problem also need a map, it happens that the Palace Museum collection of "Yuan Ouyang Xuanchun Hui Tang Ji" "continuation of the seal" and "Qianlong five seals" cover very close, although the color deviation of the print is serious, but it is still easy to see the phenomenon of different colors of the ink.

After listening to Zhang Donggao's appraisal explanation, except for Xiao Yao and Wang Xiaoxian, the other three felt that they had gained a lot.

It was still Zheng Xiaowu who preemptively said: "I want this painting, Mr. Wang, you will give me an estimate." ”

"It's okay to get an estimate, but it's a problem if you want it. "This painting is so rare, Wang Xiaoxian is also bound to win, "Our autumn auction of Yiyun still lacks a real finale lot, and this painting is just right." As you all know, Mr. Xiao is now the only diamond-level VIP in our Yiyun Auction House, and there is no commission for the auction, and it is possible for this painting to be auctioned at a high price in the end, which is in the best interest of Mr. Xiao. ”

"Not necessarily, I'm willing to buy the painting at a premium of 30% on top of the highest estimate. If it is auctioned, it may not be as high as the price I offered. Zheng Xiaowu didn't give an inch.

Yu Zongwen also interjected: "The two of you are fighting first, I also have a good time, I also want this painting, let's get the one with the highest price, so as not to hurt the peace, Mr. Wang, you will give an estimate first." ”

It is rare to encounter a national treasure-level fine painting, but there are still two rich people competing next to it, Wang Xiaoxian can only give an estimate first: "My estimate for this painting is 300 million yuan." ”

Like the appraisal just now, Wang Xiaoxian's appraisal is a bit higher.

"390 million, I want this painting. Zheng Xiaowu gave an offer without any hesitation.

This price is a bit too high, although Yu Zongwen also wants to win this painting, but the highest estimate in his heart is 350 million, Zheng Xiaowu's offer is so high, he can only give up the competition.

"Mr. Zheng is indeed very sincere, I really can't guarantee that this painting will be auctioned at such a high price after it is auctioned, then I will not compete with you. Wang Xiaoxian was very helpless.

Zhang Donggao sighed and said: "Originally, I wanted to lobby Mr. Xiao and persuade him to donate this painting to our Palace Museum, but Mr. Zheng gave such a high price, which made me embarrassed to speak." ”

"It's not that your Palace Museum doesn't have Ren Renfa's paintings, so don't compete with us private collectors who don't have a few good things. Zheng Xiaowu was happy, obviously very happy.

Xiao Yao then took out Lang Shining's "Portrait of Qianlong".

The high estimate given by Wang Xiaoxian for this painting was 180 million, and it was finally grabbed by Yu Zongwen at a price of 200 million.

Wang Xiaoxian once again lost a finale lot, and his heart was full of pain.

After the Qing Qianlong blue and white pastel Youchun Tu amphora and the Qing Qianlong Imperial Yangcai Jiangshan Wandai Ruyi Ear Pipa Zun were taken out by Xiao Yao, Zheng Xiaowu and Yu Zongwen accepted it when they saw it, and no longer competed, and these two treasured porcelains were snatched into Wang Xiaoxian's hands.

With these two pieces of rare porcelain valued at more than 100 million yuan as the finale, Wang Xiaoxian finally made the trip worthwhile and was very satisfied.

Originally, everyone thought that there were so many antique artworks that Xiao Yao was going to transfer, but they didn't expect him to take out another oil painting and put it on the table.

After everyone appreciated it, Zhang Donggao said with some uncertainty: "This painting is Picasso's style, is this Picasso's real work?"

Zhang Donggao is not very good at Western oil painting, and he is not very confident in his own appraisal.

Xiao Yao said: "The back of this painting has Picasso's signature. ”

This "Girl and White Dove" is inlaid in the frame, and without Xiao Yao's consent, Zhang Donggao is not easy to disassemble the frame.

It turned out to be really Picasso's authentic work, Yu Zongwen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I like to collect Western oil paintings the most, especially Picasso's works, I especially like it, don't fight with me about this painting, I want it." ”

"Picasso's works are so precious and rare that anyone wants them as long as the economy allows. For Mr. Xiao, only a public auction is the most appropriate. "Such a heavyweight painting, Wang Xiaoxian certainly didn't want to miss it.

Yu Zongwen wanted to say something, but Xiao Yao hurriedly interjected: "This work is indeed not suitable for Mr. Yu to take over, or it is most appropriate for Mr. Wang to operate it." Just the identification of this painting is not a simple matter, and Mr. Wang should have this ability. ”

The authenticity of a work, if there is any doubt, the price will be greatly discounted. Picasso's work has not been circulated in the market, and only when it is handed over to Wang Xiaoxian to operate and ask the major appraisal agencies to jointly appraise it, it will not affect the price of this work.

What Xiao Yao said was very reasonable, and Yu Zongwen could only accept it. If it is a domestic antique artwork, he can also contact a bunch of trustworthy experts to do the appraisal together, but to identify Western oil paintings, he really can't find an appraisal expert who is enough to reassure him.

If he couldn't be 100% sure that the work was genuine, he really wouldn't dare to buy it.

Make sure the work will be sent for auction. Wang Xiaoxian was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

"And the last one, when we're done, we'll go to dinner together. ”

Xiao Yao turned around and picked up a box and put it on the table.
