Chapter 177: Jin Erzhen
"It's nothing, I'm a little interested in this jade. Cai Peng Xi paused slightly, and then responded.
"You didn't notice it at the preview before?"
"Didn't the preview just chat with you?" When the words fell, Cai Pengxi directly raised his card and added a hand first. The price increase of this Western Zhou white jade tiger stripe is also high, which is 50,000.
To tell the truth, this Western Zhou white jade tiger stripe, although it is a high ancient jade, and the jade quality is very white, and the craftsmanship is excellent, but after all, it is limited by the shape and cannot reach a too high price, generally speaking, two and a half million should reach the top.
The auction house did not use the jade as the finale of the jade field.
When this jade was 2.4 million yuan, there was a short cold scene, and when the auctioneer called out "the second time", someone added 50,000 yuan. Two million four hundred and fifty thousand.
Not long after, Cai Pengxi called a bid of 2.6 million.
No one fought anymore and won it in one fell swoop.
Not only was Yu Yao a little surprised, but so was Cai Zhihuang, he even asked, "Grandpa, your Western Zhou Dragon and Phoenix Jade is not inferior to this one, and the process is more complicated, and it didn't cost so much money to take it." Why do you seem to want to get this?"
"It was that year, and the market was different. ”
"Didn't you say you wouldn't shoot this time?"
"I haven't finished reading it, I didn't know there was anything like this. ”
Cai Zhihuang didn't ask any more, because it was obvious that Cai Pengxi didn't tell the truth.
Such a thing, Cai Pengxi may like it, but he will not like it to the point of winning it at a high travel price. With his connections and resources, it is not difficult to find such a similar jade and take it at a lower price.
Yu Yao doesn't talk much, the old man likes it, and he is not bad for money, so he will take it.
Most of the things in the jade field opened the door, and there was nothing missing, and Yu Yao didn't make a move until the finale lot came to the stage.
And the finale lot is a Tian Huang seal.
The starting price is as high as 3.6 million.
Although it is said that one or two Tianhuang ten taels of gold, in fact, the price of Tianhuang varies greatly because of the difference in quality and weight. Add a weight here, not simply add it, jewelry and jade things, the heavier and more expensive the homogeneous version.
The weight mentioned here is because Tianhuang has a market characteristic, the large pieces are less, more than 40 grams, and the price will turn over, rather than increase the price accordingly.
And quality plays the biggest role. Tianhuang is a precious seal stone, take the seal as an example, the same weight, some can be bought for 10,000 yuan, and some 1.8 million yuan is not enough. Quality is only two words, but the things contained are too complex, and it is difficult to explain them in three or two sentences.
Therefore, the layman is easy to be fooled, especially the conceited layman and the layman who listens to the wind and the rain.
This side, as the finale of the Tian Huang seal, is not small at all. According to the data displayed, the square bottom, the bottom edge is 5.8 cm, and the top is the Rui Beast button, the overall height is 5.3 cm, and the net weight is more than 280 grams.
The texture is white field yellow, the yellow is relatively elegant, the radish pattern is delicate, and it is clean and moist.
Ten words in the inscription: If you bow to the gentleman, I will not get it.
This sentence is from the Analects, and what Confucius said is not complete.
The complete original sentence is: text, Mo Wu Jews also, bow to the gentleman, then I have not gained. The general meaning is: I may be similar to other people in terms of reading and learning, but I have not done it to become a gentleman.
This print is a plus, the number of words is large, and the content is also very meaningful.
But all of the above is still not enough for this Fang Tian Huang seal to have such a high starting price.
The key role is still played by the person who engraved the seal.
On the side of the side of the seal, the seal was also engraved again, and it was also settled: the gentleman who bows to the gentleman is what I have not gained, and I have been engraved in the spring, and the stone is carved in auspicious stone.
Lines, quaint and clumsy.
This is the Tianhuang seal of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and the "auspicious stone" engraved with the seal is the famous Jin Erzhen.
Jin Erzhen, the word Jishi, the number Shaozhi, calligrapher and painter, hobby gold and stone seal carving. Interest is the best teacher, once you like something, it's easy to make a name for yourself.
He is a bit similar to Wu Changshuo, and he is also a quadathlon of "poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing", and the two are also brothers. Well, it's a bit rude to use "worship the handle" on the literati, and he is known as the fourth brother of Shaozhi.
Jin Erzhen's calligraphy was greatly influenced by Su Shi, and he was also quite skillful. And his Chinese paintings are mainly landscapes and plum blossoms, and he is particularly fond of plum blossoms.
Jin Erzhen's seal work has been auctioned. In the case of Tian Huang's seal, the price was close to 10 million ten years ago.
Of course, there is a reason for a high price, and it must be more brilliant than the side of the Tianhe Autumn Auction, but it is also reasonable for this side to set the starting price at 3.6 million.
"I've seen this seal!" said before he suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Yu Yao was separated from him, but he couldn't help but glance sideways at him.
Cai Pengxi seemed to be a little absent-minded, his attention was not on this seal, his hands were folded, his thumbs were turning, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
This seal Yu Yao definitely can't be taken, judging from his current financial resources, it is too expensive.
However, although Cai Zhihuang said that he had seen this seal, he didn't seem to have the intention of taking it. After Yu Yao said "um", he poked his head out from behind Cai Pengxi and asked Yu Yao, "This seal is authentic, do you want to take it?"
Yu Yao also probed from behind Cai Pengxi, "The price, it's boring." You've seen it, why didn't you take it at the time?"
"Jin Erzhen has made friends with many Japanese people, and has also accepted Japanese apprentices, and I don't know if this seal was once given to Japanese people; however, I heard that the original owner of the seal collection was building momentum for the invasion of China during World War II and vigorously advocating it, so I don't want to!"
It's really interesting to hold Juan's temperament.
"And you're still asking me if I want to?"
"Who knows you'·······"
At this time, Cai Pengxi suddenly coughed, and the two stopped communicating.
This seal was finally sold for more than 6 million.
Then, the final lot was a jade parrot from the late Qing Dynasty, and there were very few applicants.
After the jade field ended, Cai Pengxi immediately got up and said to Cai Zhihuang, "Let's go, go and pay the lot first." ”
"In such a hurry?" was stunned. Yu Yao smiled, "Since the old man likes it, it's better to take it early, let's go together." ”
Cai Pengxi nodded and took the first step.
Out of the auction hall, Yu Yao and Cai Zhihuang accompanied Cai Pengxi to the settlement office.
Yu Yao was indeed a little curious, why Cai Pengxi liked this Western Zhou white jade tiger stripe so much. At the same time, he couldn't see it clearly below during the auction, and he also wanted to see it with his own eyes.
In fact, many auctions cannot be taken away immediately after the end of the auction, but this time the Tianhe Autumn Auction has introduced some new measures, such as the Huanghuali shelf bed, which is also difficult to assemble on the auction booth on the spot.
Cai Pengxi inspected the jade, and when Yu Yao stood aside to examine, his eyes changed suddenly.
