Chapter Twenty-Three: The Cage of the Grasshopper
When everyone arrived, the leader who presided over the exchange stood up.
"Since everyone is here, let's follow the rules that have been agreed in advance. We use a dedicated auction house appraiser to conduct the appraisal, and whoever gets the highest yield wins. ”
Ikeda nodded silently, he was here to monitor the results of the valuation.
The leader who presided over looked at Xu Fei and said, "Xu Fei, let's start with you first." ”
Xu Fei nodded, got up and walked to the front of the conference table, then put the two brocade boxes in his hand on the table, and then opened them one by one.
"Seniors and peers, what I bought this time is a boutique from Sichuan Qiongyao. ”
Xu Fei took out two pieces of ceramics, one was a cyan Huakouzun and the other was a yellow-green bowl.
Immediately, an appraiser from the ceramics department stepped forward to conduct an appraisal.
"The Yaozhou kiln celadon printed waterfowl pattern bowl of the Jin Dynasty. The estimate is about 10,000 yuan. ”
"The other is the Northern Song Dynasty Yaozhou kiln celadon carved Huakouzun, estimated at about 40,000 yuan. ”
For the famous Yaozhou kiln, Jiangyang has also heard of it.
The kiln site of Yaozhou kiln is now in Huangbao Town, Tongchuan, Shaanxi, under the jurisdiction of Yaozhou in the Song Dynasty, it is one of the six major kiln systems in the Song Dynasty, the celadon of Yaozhou kiln is relatively unique, the tire is thin and firm, the glaze is smooth and even, the color is green and quiet, and the characteristics of Yaozhou celadon can be remembered as long as you look at the first glance.
The two that Xu Fei bought are the fine products of Yaozhou kiln, the waterfowl pattern bowl is complete, and a duckling is drawn in the center of the bowl with embossing techniques, which has a bit of ugly duckling. Eight aquatic plants are neatly carved on the inner wall of the bowl, and the symmetry is very comfortable to look at.
And that flower mouth is the boutique in the Yaozhou kiln, the mouth is decorated with the shape of the diamond flower, the middle is engraved with a peony pattern, the lines of the pattern are neat and tangible, the round belly appears thick but because the pattern appears to be a little smart.
"Xu Fei, how much did these two things cost you?"
"A total of 30,000 is a small leak. ”
The experts present nodded, the appraisal price was 50,000 yuan, and the purchase price was 30,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a small leak, and the yield was about 66.7%.
Regarding Xu Fei's strategy, Hua Minchu, Fei Sanshui and others couldn't help but agree.
If it is for them to buy, they will definitely choose the fine products in the folk kiln porcelain, only in this way can the yield be increased as much as possible.
"Mr. Ikeda, do you have any comments?" the moderator asked Ikeda symbolically.
Mr. Ikeda said solemnly, "I have no opinion, and our lady of the superintendent also thinks that there is no problem. ”
Then Ikeda said, "Kojiro, Yoshiko, it's time for you two." ”
Yoshiko Suzuki wore a white dress and walked to the front of the stage like a gust of wind.
"I bought the Ming Dynasty lotus boy jade and spent 20,000 yuan. ”
The appraiser of the jade department of the auction house immediately stepped forward and, after obtaining permission, began to appraise the jade of the lotus boy.
"The Ming Dynasty held the lotus boy jade piece, estimated at 30,000 yuan. ”
Everyone present had no objection to this result, and in this way, Suzuki Yoshiko's yield was only 50%, which was slightly inferior to Xu Fei.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me show you first. ”
Kojiro Suzuki was full of confidence and took the stage in front of Jiang Yang.
This time I picked up a lot of leaks, and the yield has multiplied several times, you want to win me, it's really a fool's dream.
Xu Fei saw Suzuki Kojiro's appearance, snorted, and whispered: "I don't know, I thought his nose was facing up." ”
Jiang Yang looked at Suzuki Kojiro's confident appearance and felt a little nervous.
The painting in his hand is his guess based on the urine of the system, whether there is a so-called painting or not, he is not sure at all, looking at Kojiro's appearance, his yield must be higher than Xu Fei.
Kojiro also only bought one thing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I bought a gnather cage. ”
"Huh?" Fei Sanshui and the other experts were a little strange.
This grub cage is considered miscellaneous, and it is basically something from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and it is quite difficult to sell it at a high yield.
What the hell is this Kojiro Suzuki?
Kojiro was carrying a miniature "bird cage" in his hand, but those who knew it knew it was a gnats' cage at a glance.
The appraiser from the Miscellaneous Department of the auction house stepped forward, picked up Kojiro's gnat, and looked at it carefully.
"The material of this grub cage is a bit special, it is agarwood, but the price should be around five hundred. It's not from the palace. ”
The Huaxia experts present breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not the emperor's gnator cage, it would not benefit much.
Kojiro Suzuki apparently disagreed with this conclusion and said, "Wait, please look at the small print on the bar again." ”
When the appraiser heard this, he sighed, then took out his magnifying glass and began to carefully examine the details on the bar of the gnat's cage.
"Shixiang is forty-six years old. ”
As these words were pronounced, the people in the audience suddenly became agitated.
Wang Shixiang is a famous player and collector in the capital in the last century, boiling eagles and fighting dogs and raising crickets, he is all fine, in addition to playing, Wang Shixiang also collects Ming Dynasty furniture, and after his death also donated all the Ming Dynasty furniture to the Shenhu Museum.
It can be said that the furniture collection of the Ming Dynasty is known from Wang Shixiang.
It is also Wang Shixiang who has brought the old capital out of culture.
Kojiro Suzuki was very proud: "That's right, this is the gnatwood cage used by Mr. Wang Shixiang, a collector in your country, and I only spent 300 yuan to buy this gnatwood cage." ”
Looking at Kojiro Suzuki's glances, Jiang Yang selectively ignored it.
"This, this is Wang Shixiang's inscription, I have seen such an inscription on another Wang Shixiang collection. After careful consideration, the appraiser came to a conclusion, "If it is an auction, it should be 5,000 yuan." ”
The audience was in an uproar, and the experts on Huaxia's side did not expect that they would pick up a big leak for Suzuki Kojiro.
Although the cage was only 5,000 after the auction, it had increased nearly 17 times compared with the purchase price.
This is no longer comparable to Xu Fei's rate of return.
Fei Sanshui leaned his head over and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Yang, how are you here?"
Jiang Yang clenched his hands tightly and said, "Take a gamble." ”
After Kojiro went down, Jiang Yang walked to the front with a long picture box.
Jiang Yang didn't say much, but directly opened the painting and placed it neatly on the conference table.
The appraiser of the painting and calligraphy department stepped forward to evaluate the painting.
"This?"
The appraiser didn't expect Jiang Yang to buy such a painting, this painting is fake at first glance, doesn't it mean that Jiang Yang is a new talent in the Chinese antique world, how could he buy such a painting?
The appraiser thought that there was a problem with his eyesight, and looked at it carefully, and finally said in embarrassment: "This is a fake, not worth a few dollars..."
The experts in Huaxia couldn't help but stand up, how could this be?
How can you be eye-catching when the two countries are exchanging?
Isn't that a shame on us!
Kojiro Suzuki saw the content of this painting clearly, and he was ecstatic, and finally had the opportunity to suppress Jiangyang.
Suzuki Kojiro became angry: "Isn't this the fake I have seen? I remember that when I gave the results, Mr. Jiang Yang was next to him, why did he still buy this painting? Isn't this a joke of the seniors?"
Ikeda asked a rare question, "Kojiro, what the hell is going on?"
The Huaxia experts present felt that their faces were all lost, how could this happen?
Who is this Jiangyang?
Hua Minchu also sighed, Jiang Yang is still too impetuous, how can a young man of this age be proficient in the identification of bronze, porcelain, and calligraphy and painting?
Now that something has happened, it also means that because Jiang Yang was carried away by his previous leakage results.
Liu Zhengyuan, Fei Sanshui and others also shook their heads, they all thought the same as Hua Minchu.
"Wait!"
This is the second time that the audience has shouted out.
