Blue and white began in the Tang and Song dynasties and matured in the Yuan Dynasty. The original blue and white porcelain has seen the beginning in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Hutian kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Therefore, this special auction of Shangmei blue and white porcelain not only has the blue and white vase of "Plum Wife and Crane", but also the blue and white porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties. For example, the plum blossom plate of the Ming Dynasty, the jade pot spring vase of the Yuan Dynasty, the amphora of the Qing Dynasty, the Qilin flat pot of the Qing Dynasty and other treasures.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Sun sat down in a remote corner after entering. Quietly, like a real bystander.

The first five lots were finally sold after rounds of fierce competition. Sun was still silent, with a light-hearted smile on his face, as if he was pleased with the results of the auction in front of him.

Of course, in the eyes of some people, they feel that his smile is meaningful, as if waiting for the real highlight to play.

Could it be that he is waiting for the "Plum Wife and Crane" Yuan Qing vase that made him encounter the Waterloo of life?

Bai Xuejun glanced in the direction where Sun Dayan was in the audience, stabilized his mind, and then said in a loud voice with his unique clear and passionate voice: "Distinguished guests and friends, the exciting moment has come. I know that most of the people present are here for her, to witness her beauty, to witness her glory, to witness her romantic encounter with someone extraordinary. I believe that this scene will go down in history and she will become a new legend. It's the same as the blue and white jar in "Ghost Valley Descending the Mountain". Although she had a bad fate and suffered a lot. But it is destined to have noble people to help and wise men to help each other. ”

Hearing the auctioneer's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction where Sun Dayan and Jiang Lai were, and their mouths also let out a knowing laugh.

Obviously, the previous wonderful debate is memorable.

"The noble man he spoke of is me, and so am the wise man. Jiang Lai's eyes looked in the direction of the auction seat, and Yun said lightly.

"Yes. Everyone on the scene knows this. Shi Daochen echoed and said.

Jiang Lai was very satisfied with Shi Daochen's attitude and said, "You also contribute. ”

"Really, what have I done?" Shi Daochen was flattered, but he didn't expect Jiang Lai to be willing to give half of the "Military Merit Medal" to himself.

"You drive me here. Jiang said.

“......”

"This is not a stain, this is the tribulation necessary for Phoenix Nirvana. Bai Xuejun waved his hand, and a high-definition picture of the blue and white vase of "Plum Wife and Crane" appeared on the screen behind him. This picture has obviously been specially processed, and it is clearer and more gorgeous than the previous picture, and it is also more elegant and humanistic. "The last lot of the evening, the Yuan blue vase of "Plum Wife and Crane". Friends, the starting price is 8 million yuan, and the price increase is not less than 500,000 ...... each time"

As soon as the words fell, countless people at the scene raised the bidding cards in their hands.

10 million, 30 million, 50 million, more than 100 million.......

"Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" blue and white jar describes the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi who agreed to go down the mountain to rescue Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, the famous generals of Qi who were trapped by Yan, under the repeated requests of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi State. On July 12, 2005, at Christie's in London, the object was sold for 14 million pounds, or 15.688 million pounds, equivalent to about 230 million yuan, setting a record for the highest auction of Chinese art in the world at that time.

After the appearance of the character bottle of "Plum Wife and Crane", the media and the public have been discussing such a topic: can it create a new auction miracle, surpassing the record set by the blue and white jar of "Ghost Valley Descending the Mountain" in 05?

Most people don't think it's possible.

Wu Zhijie, a well-known cultural relics appraiser, wrote an article and published it in the magazine "Treasure Appreciation": In the 20 years from 1985 to 2005, the entire antique cultural relics market was hot, and the value of antique cultural relics increased geometrically every year. At that time, international collectors and people from the Western world really began to discover the beauty of the Orient, and then became obsessed with the Orient. They chase everything in the Eastern world, especially these artistic treasures that can be passed down for centuries, millennia, or even thousands of years.

However, the extremes of things must be reversed. After nearly two decades of chasing and obsessing, they have spent most of their passions, as well as their savings. They have a reason to slow down and wait for more valuable devices to appear. It is Westerners who define the true value of blue and white porcelain, not us. This bottle of "Plum Wife and Crane" is auctioned in China, and there are not many international collectors who are present in person or entrusted with it, so it is difficult to reproduce the miracle of that year.

Of course, there are many statements contrary to Wu Zhijie.

Some people think that after decades of development and popularization, Made in China has long been known to the world. China's antique devices are even more rare items that major collectors are vying for. Tang silk and Song porcelain, fine silk and porcelain are always the hearts of collectors.

More people feel that China's national strength is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more private collectors. Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. In the heyday, the most valuable way for the wealthy to maintain their value is to collect antiques. Therefore, the biggest possibility of this "Plum Wife Crane" blue vase is that it was pocketed by the Chinese themselves.

Jiang Lai has followed the media and online discussions, but he has not participated in them.

He simply posted a Weibo: After my identification, it is true.

The accompanying picture is the high-definition picture of the blue and white porcelain vase of "Plum Wife and Crane" that has been hyped up.

However, when the guests on the scene frantically raised their signs, and the numbers were frequently superimposed and replaced, and finally reached an admirable astronomical number, it was still shocking.

110 million, 130 million, 150 million.......

"Two hundred and sixty million for the first time, two hundred and sixty million for the second time...... 260 million ...... for the third time" Bai Xuejun's voice began to tremble. He has been in the auctioneer industry for almost 20 years, and the total value of the lots sold from him has reached tens of billions, but it is extremely rare for a single lot to reach this number.

What's more, it's this rather legendary "Plum Wife Crane" bottle.

Bang!

Bai Xuejun slammed the hammer in his hand down.

Everyone stood up and the audience applauded.

In the end, the number fell on 260 million.

If the commission fee is added, the price of the entire blue and white porcelain vase of "Plum Wife and Crane" has reached about 290 million, exceeding the 230 million and 60 million of the blue and white jar of "Ghost Valley Descending the Mountain".

------

The blue vase of "Plum Wife and Crane" was photographed by an old gentleman, with white hair and hair, but he gave people a feeling of good spirits.

Li Kangnian is a well-known manufacturing king in Hong Kong and a world-class antique collector.

Li Kangnian got up and thanked everyone, thank everyone for their courtesy, and thank everyone for allowing him to get this coveted baby. He had been preparing for this for a long time, and he had been nervous for a long time, and at this moment his dream finally came true.

The staff invited Li Kangnian to go through the formalities, and the buyer needed to inspect the goods again before delivery. Then it will be handed over to the lot, and the buyer will be able to pick up the lot he has bid for after the buyer has paid the price and commission. You can also temporarily store it at the auction house and pick it up when you can.

Li Kangnian nodded and said with a smile: "Here, I would like to invite a few good friends to enjoy this treasure up close with me." ”

"Mr. Li, this number is ..... It's too much, isn't it?, isn't it a little inconvenient?" Bai Xuejun said with a look of embarrassment.

"What's so inconvenient about this?" Li Kangnian scolded and said, "At such an important moment, can't I invite a few friends to feel this joy with me?"

"Absolutely. Lin Chuyi stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Mr. Li, congratulations on successfully photographing your favorite antiques." You are our valued VIP customer, and we at Chaumet will do our best to provide you with the best quality service. Which of your friends would you like to invite to join you in this joy?"

"The blue vase of "Plum Wife and Crane" is a treasure of the whole human race, I am not the owner, I am only the custodian. Li Kangnian looked around and said with a smile: "Then the friends present will go together, right?"

Lin Chu looked embarrassed and said, "Mr. Li, because of the space problem, we need to enter the secret room for verification, so if there are too many people, I am afraid that there will be no way to accommodate ........"

It's not just about space, it's about security.

It's not that some of them dare to snatch it, not to mention that the people who can enter are all people with heads and faces from all over the place, they can't do such crazy things, and Shangmei's security department is not a vegetarian.

The key is that there are many people and the scene is chaotic, in case this "Plum Wife and Crane" Yuan blue and white porcelain vase worth 290 million is accidentally bumped into by someone, who will be responsible for this loss at that time?

"That's just as well. Li Kangnian nodded and said, "Then I'll go through the formalities first." ”

"Okay, Mr. Li. ”

Li Kangnian pointed to the middle-aged man behind him and said, "Dog Li Fengrui, let him handle the formalities for me." ”

Li Fengrui looked at Lin Chuyi and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, I'll accompany you to go through the formalities." ”

"Okay, Mr. Li, please come with me. Lin Chuyi said with a smile and made an inviting gesture.

Half an hour later, Li Fengrui walked out with a silver box surrounded by four bodyguards.

Li Kangnian glanced at the box and said, "Open it." ”

"Dad?" Li Fengrui was surprised. Such a precious thing, open here?

"Open. Li Kangnian glared at his son and said, "This thing is valuable, and I know it." I brought it back tonight, and I'm afraid I won't easily take it out for others to see in the future. Such a good baby, naturally, is a glance less. Can you be comfortable on you?"

"Just now I wanted to let the big guys go in and have a look, but Miss Lin said that it was not convenient for the sake of space. The company has company rules, which I can understand. Now that this bottle of "Plum Wife and Crane" has become our Kang family, let's open it for everyone to see, what's the big deal? It's not a violation, right?"

"It's not a violation. Lin Chuyi said out loud.

Li Fengrui had no choice but to ask everyone to clean up the auction seat, and then under the protection of the four bodyguards, the silver lockbox was carefully put up.

I opened the lockbox and took out the finely packaged blue and white vase inside.

Li Kangnian was also generous, and said with a smile: "Come, everyone will take a look." I'll put it away when I'm done. ”

A group of people gathered around, admiring the blue and white porcelain vase that was about to say goodbye to them through the four big men.

As soon as you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, not only about women, but also about these famous antiques. It's possible that you won't get a chance to look at it again in your life

Without reaching a certain relationship, who would easily show such a valuable treasure?

Li Kangnian saw Sun in the crowd and said teasingly: "Mr. Sun, you can also help take a look, is this "Plum Wife and Crane" bottle real or fake?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

The last time Sun Dayan identified this "Plum Wife and Crane" Yuan blue vase as a fake, only to be slapped in the face by Jiang Lai, it proved that this bottle has a higher artistic and economic value than its previous one.

Now Li Kangnian asked Sun Dayan this question again, which was not without a sense of ridicule and shame.

Sun Da's eyes had a serious expression, and he turned to look at Jiang Lai behind him and asked, "Last time, you identified this bottle of "Plum Wife and Crane" as genuine?"

"Yes. Jiang Lai nodded. That's exactly what he said, and there were many people who witnessed it on the spot. He wasn't afraid of anyone throwing dirty water on him.

"But it's just a fake. Sun said in a deep voice: "This is a fake." ”
