Chapter 307: Cloisonné Enamel
Wei Xiu's sign did not attract everyone's attention, but it made Sikong Wisteria's face change in the distance, seeing Sikong Wisteria's drastic change in face, Dongfang Dao knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and if he waited any longer, the gentlemanly demeanor of sitting quietly on Diaoyutai would only be mistaken for cowardice by Sikong Wisteria!
From 3.2 million to 4 million, it was quiet for a while!
After all, the people present were not ordinary people, and they would not be bluffed by the mere four million Hong Kong dollars, but those who were interested would notice that the rich people from Nangang almost collectively lost their voices, and obviously many people heard the voice of Dongfang Dao and chose to avoid it.
Dongfang Dao, who didn't hear Wei Xiu shouting again, flashed a trace of pride in his heart, and raised his card and said, "Five million!" He wanted to kill the prestige of those outsiders in one go.
Sure enough, with his two price increases of more than one million, the venue was suddenly silent, and many people looked at him in surprise, after seeing that it was just a young man, especially when he saw the Sikong Wisteria beside Dongfang Dao, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, it was really a young man's romance, in order to please a woman, he actually shouted the price like this, it was really not worth money!
"Five million once! There is still ......" The auctioneer was about to drum up a three-inch tongue to arouse everyone's desire to buy, and did not want a quiet offer to come from the room.
"Six million!" was another million-level price increase, which surprised many people at the time.
This shouting price is naturally Wei Xiu, as he sold a piece of wool at the price of tens of millions of standards back then, does he still care about these millions?
But Dongfang Dao was almost mad when he heard this offer, this way he quoted with millions of upwards, it was clearly a provocation to him!!
"Seven million!" Dongfang Dao's tone became cold.
Hearing the million-level price increase again, Wei Xiu finally felt a little surprised, followed the voice and glanced at it, only to find that the person who made the offer was the man who followed Sikong Wisteria.
Wei Xiu shrugged his shoulders, it was really a narrow road. However, when he got here, it was talking about money, so Wei Xiu didn't care and raised his card again: "Eight million!"
As soon as this shout came out, many Nangang locals in the auction hall looked strange, looking at this appearance, this kid is either a wealthy and arrogant person, or an arrogant person with a more mysterious background! Look at this young appearance, look at this calm tone, and then look at the Yanjing dialect of others, this is probably a princeling from the mainland!
As everyone knows, Wei Xiu's Yanjing dialect is purely because he often communicates with Sun Lao and is exposed to it.
Now the Dongfang family's external deterrent power is only because Dongfang Chengxu holds the peace and victory meeting. But now Nangang does not belong to the British Concession 20 years ago, but to the mainland. Ten years ago, the mainland still needed a soft policy towards Nangang, but now it is different, especially the mainland's crackdown on the black forces is notoriously strong, so the power of the Dongfang family is probably really vulnerable compared to the Yanjing princelings.
"Bastard!" No matter how good Dongfang Dao's temper was, he couldn't help but get angry at this time and scolded.
People say that people who are prone to anger are most likely people who have no skills.
Think about it, if Dongfang Dao can have a crazy gold-absorbing company like Wei Xiu, and he can prepare 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in advance to participate in an auction, I am afraid he can also sit firmly in Diaoyutai like Wei Xiu.
It's a pity that he doesn't have any money!
His money comes from his father, or he does some work privately, how much money can he make from this gray job?
Eight million Hong Kong dollars is just a scratch for Wei Xiu, but it is a huge amount of money for him, not to mention that he still has to keep the funds to attack one of the finale lots, the South African blue diamond!
"Eight million once! Eight million twice! Eight hundred ......" Before the auctioneer finished speaking, Sikong Wisteria gritted his teeth and said, "Eight hundred and fifty ......"
Before Sikong Wisteria finished speaking, Wei Xiu instantly said, "Ten million!"
When the words fell, the audience was finally in an uproar!
For a crocodile skin, is it worth it? How many crocodile bags can you buy for 10 million? These bags are enough to please the most picky girls around you, can you use 10 million? To put it mildly, you don't need to buy any crocodile bags, with this 10 million smashed directly in front of the girls, I am afraid it is more attractive than any crocodile bag.
The most important thing is that Wei Xiu's preemptive words and impatient tone are simply provoking Sikong Wisteria again!!
At this time, Sikong Wisteria was directly angry, his face turned pale, and his head was clouded!
Wei Xiu sat there with a look of indifference, what he wanted was this feeling, you stingy woman, there is a kind of shouting, shouting, shouting...... The master promised not to shout.
But it was obvious that Sikong Wisteria was also frightened by his wealthy appearance, and finally did not speak.
After the auctioneer made a final decision and determined that this bay crocodile skin belonged to Wei Xiu, the lady sitting next to Wei Xiu looked at Wei Xiu's eyes full of teasing, Wei Xiu suspected that if he promised something on the spot, this woman would not turn around and throw it into his arms!
After the crocodile skin was withdrawn, as soon as the next lot came to the stage, Wei Xiu's face suddenly closed!
This piece is from the private collection of Sir Hilt of Great Britain, from the cloisonné enamel of a copper tire from the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty in China. As one of the four famous Dans of Yanjing, cloisonné also had a very high artistic achievement in ancient China......" When the auctioneer was still chattering about the introduction, Wei Xiu was completely stunned.
He was struck not by the beauty of the cloisonné enamel, but by the ...... This is not a Ming Dynasty thing at all, but ...... Objects of the Great Yuan Empire!!
Enamel originated in Greece in Europe in the 12th century, and after a long period of development, it was gradually mastered by the Arabs, but finally it was directly or indirectly plundered by the Dayuan Dynasty, the only super empire in Chinese history that created across the Eurasian continent, and took root in China and grew again.
Finally, in the Ming Dynasty Jingtai period into the heyday, so cloisonné enamel is also called cloisonne, because of the Chinese "homophony" habits, and finally called cloisonne!
Not counting the Northern Yuan Dynasty that was driven back to their hometown by the Han people, the actual reign of the Great Yuan Dynasty was less than a hundred years, and the cultural relics that appeared in such a short period of time were extremely famous landmark items of the Ming Dynasty, how did Wei Xiu confirm that this must be the thing of the Great Yuan Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty?
It's very simple, don't forget that Wei Xiu only dug a fake tomb of Genghis Khan of the Yuan Dynasty two months ago, and the unearthed Yuan Dynasty things are not too much, even the enamel is also a lot, but the degree of beauty is not as good as the cloisonne of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the physical performance characteristics of these enamels almost allowed Wei Xiu to establish a rich database, and now it is a Yuan Dynasty folk broken bowl placed in front of Wei Xiu, and Wei Xiu can recognize it as the Yuan Dynasty at a glance.
At this time, Wei Xiu was not only surprised that this cloisonné enamel was a thing of the Yuan Dynasty, but also shocked that its exquisiteness was no less than that of the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, what does this mean? It means that the actual value of this so-called "Ming Dynasty cloisonné enamel" is much higher than the price of the auction house, which also means that Wei Xiu ...... How can you pick up a leak in such an auction?
What kind of auction is this? This is not one of those auction houses on the mainland that do not enter the mainstream and dare to come to the stage if they just make up a fake. It is no exaggeration to say that if a fake is on it, it will be a fatal blow to the reputation of the auction.
What is the key to attracting so many rich people to this kind of auction house?
How exciting is it to be able to pick up a leak in such an auction house that has been identified and finally put up for auction? Is there anything more exciting than picking up leaks like this?
When he thought of this, he almost laughed out loud.
