Chapter 150: Just a giveaway
The paintings have been reframed, but it is not only the decoration that sits here, but also the collector is drawn to the content.
When it comes to Zhu Zhishan, it is inevitable that some people think of Tang Bohu, and there is no shortage of preachers, who lament the tragic ending caused by Tang Bohu's arrogance and personality.
The auctioneer roughly told the story behind "Autumn Fragrance", and the auction officially began.
Starting price, 30 million!
Kong Qun frowned slightly, Mai Xiaoji had never asked how much those collections were sold for, but from his expression, he could still read that the selling price was about this price.
Auctions in such places are usually higher than the selling price, and it is normal to sell for more money in addition to the high handling fee.
Mai Xiaoji thinks very openly, how can the collection appreciate without speculation?
"Fifty million. ”
A faint voice came from the front, and Mai Xiaoji's heart tightened, it was Yue Bufan who made a bid, and it suddenly soared to a position that was not low.
There was another chuckle at the scene, and more helplessness, which made at least half of the people who were interested in buying retreat.
"I'll pay 60 million!" someone gritted his teeth and raised the price.
"Ninety million. Yue Bufan immediately increased the price.
The auctioneers on the stage all took a deep breath, the appearance of this kind of collection will definitely cause fierce competition on the spot, and they thought that it would last for a long time, but now that they look at it, it is obvious that the results are almost coming out.
Eventually, Yue Bufan became a new buyer of "Autumn Fragrance Picture".
"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and Qiu Xiang has also won love and respect with her peerless elegance and gained eternal life. ”
The auctioneer praised him diligently, but the unsmiling Yue Bufan made people feel bored, and he had always been cold, and no one cheered him on.
The auctioneer was a little embarrassed, prevaricated a few words, and then presented the third piece of the collection.
An hourglass made by Guo Shoujing!
I have to say that Kong Qun made a lot of efforts in advance, and the auctioneer talked about the subtlety of the hourglass and the wisdom of the ancients, which took longer than the previous two collections.
Mai Xiaoji observed everyone's dynamics left and right, and the purchase intention was not strong enough, and some lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones. And Yue Buqun, who had completed the auction plan, sorted out the collar of his suit, and had the intention of leaving.
"Let's talk about the auction price, right?" said someone impatiently.
"That's a million. Someone appraised it, and Mai Xiaoji smiled when he saw Ling Gang.
"Actually, this is our imitation of Western countries, and it really shouldn't be here. What Mai Xiaoji didn't expect was that the foreigner actually spoke and could speak Chinese fluently.
There are also cultural battles, and this person's words caused public anger, Ling Gang sneered, and said: "This gentleman said this, obviously because I don't understand the long history of civilization in my country. Long before Guo Shoujing, the ancients in China had a timekeeping method, such as the famous lotus drain in the Song Dynasty. Of course, further back, it can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty in our country, that is, more than 2,000 years ago, and there was a leak at that time. Hehe, may I ask, where were your ancestors at that time. ”
Good!
Someone clapped their hands and applauded, Yue Bufan also smiled slightly, leaned back, as if he didn't plan to leave now.
"Sir, we are not talking about an ancient timekeeper, but an hourglass, and I am sorry for you for the fact that you only know a little about it. The foreign man scoffed.
"It's all timing, what's the difference?" Ling Gang was stunned for a moment and asked in annoyance.
"You know, the advent of glass is what makes the hourglass prevalent, and in this regard, our country has an unparalleled advantage. Your hourglass is made of crystal, which is not as light and transparent as glass, and is cheap and popular. "Foreign men argue with reason.
"That's just a different material, so it can better illustrate the wisdom of the ancients in our country!"
Ling Gang was thin-skinned, he was provoked in public, and he couldn't hold his face, so he got up and scolded loudly, but was pulled by Kong Qun. If you quarrel again, the two of you will fight.
The auctioneer motioned for everyone to be quiet, but at this time, he would still stand in line with the Chinese people, and he was also a little dissatisfied with the foreign man's performance, "Please listen to me, my introduction has just begun." The timekeeping method may be similar, but the precision of the metal, which is a modern process, appears on this small hourglass. Everyone, please take a look!"
At the behest of the auctioneer, a white-gloved staff member manipulated the base and split it into nine sections, lined up.
There was a low cry from below, Ling Gang was also stunned, and looked at Kong Qun, "This, this, you cut it open?"
"It was my little brother who found out that this place was cut open, but it was Guo Shoujing's operation. Kong Qun lowered his voice.
"This time I can sell it for a good price, you kid has made a profit!" Seeing this operation, Ling Gang's heart was sour, but he slapped the foreign man in the face, and he was generally happy in his heart, "Ha, it didn't disappoint, it has always been our ancestors!"
Seriously, foreigners are usually not very sensitive to verbal stimuli, but the foreigner was very excited, with his hands stretched out in front of him, "Can I go on stage and watch it up close?"
"Of course, but don't touch it. The auctioneer is also arrogant.
The one who went on stage to see it, as well as Ling Gang, actually discussed it with the foreigner, this kind of operation was completely impossible to exist at that time.
"I really hope it's real, but the technology is incredible, could it be contemporary?" asked the foreign man suspiciously, this time not to disparage, but to speak the hearts of many people, as if it was a little fake perfect.
"Please take a seat, and now I solemnly introduce you to the real third collection. Before I do that, I would like to emphasize that the collectors were very generous and decided to give this hourglass as a giveaway!"
The auctioneer's words scared almost everyone, and when they saw the true beauty of the hourglass, they set a price range for the collection, between 10 million and 15 million, and maybe 20 million.
However, such a rare thing is actually used as a bonus, so where is the real collection?
"There were more than a dozen people on the stage just now, but they didn't see the protagonist of this round?" the auctioneer sold a pass, and then lifted the jade river picture from the stage.
What is it?
Too small to see clearly.
It's only the size of a palm, and there are some lines on it, like a small color map.
After the projector zoomed in, everyone was still in a fog, only Ling Gang seemed to notice something, and opened his mouth wide and didn't speak.
"Whether it's an hourglass or a base, it's actually a foil for this design. Speaking of this, the auctioneer was a little excited, "This is called the Yuhe map, with Guo Shoujing's seal and signature, in other words, everyone understands, it is the design and construction drawing of Tonghui River!"
The scene was full of experts, and Mai Xiaoji found that even Yue Bufan's neck was stretched forward.
Brilliant colors, clear lines, precise proportions, and detailed logos are comparable to contemporary computer design masterpieces. At the same time, it is another form similar to miniature carving, which requires a very small brush and a magnifying glass to complete.
The Tonghui River is the last section of the Grand Canal, Guo Shoujing diverted the water of the Baifu Spring of Shenshan Mountain, and took advantage of the small water conservancy gap to intercept a number of rivers in a roundabout form without assuming an aqueduct, cleverly avoiding the diverted river valley and allowing abundant water to enter the capital.
This is an almost impossible task, and it is also a miracle in water conservancy engineering, and this map of the Jade River has extremely high research value.
