Chapter 171: Teach a Lesson (I)
Hearing Wang Zhixuan say this, Cheng Qiheng asked a little strangely: "I think Zitao's explanation is already very clear, I don't believe that Xi Zhengzhen can still find a reason to refute." ”
Wang Zhixuan said: "The key is that Xiao Meng did not give strong evidence, Xi Zhengzhen can be used to this point, the golden knife does not have a unified shape, and he doesn't even know where to cast it to refute." Just like Lao Ma said just now, even a gold wrong knife that is not made of copper can be successfully auctioned, let alone this one?"
Wang Zhixuan's words made everyone fall into deep thought, and Meng Zitao also frowned, now there is no time limit for the ability, even if it is a few months, it has a sense. Therefore, he knew that the golden wrong knife was made no more than ten years ago.
But whether the anomaly can be used as evidence, and the facts can be said, this point makes Meng Zitao a little embarrassed.
After thinking about it, Meng Zitao picked up the coin again and looked at it.
At this time, Zhang Jingqiang asked: "If it is a fake, then what is the matter with the patina on it?"
Cheng Qiheng explained: "There are many ways to do it, such as the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, or if the time is enough, with the current technology, there is a way to do it with the real." ”
Zhang Jingqiang sighed: "Now that science and technology are becoming more and more developed, and counterfeiting is becoming more and more powerful, I am a little afraid." ”
Wang Zhixuan said: "Although there is such a trend, there is no need to worry too much for the time being, but now to identify a thing, you must carefully observe it in all directions." ”
Just as everyone was chatting, Meng Zitao took out a magnifying glass and observed little by little, suddenly. There was a look of surprise, stunned, and disbelief on his face. You don't have to guess to know what you've definitely discovered.
Cheng Qiheng couldn't wait to ask, "Zitao, did you find anything?"
Meng Zitao came back to his senses. said, "Wait a minute, I'll see." ”
As he spoke, he went to get the tools, carefully removed a little bit of green rust on the left and right sides of the coin, and then took a closer look with a magnifying glass, and his face immediately showed a look of amazement.
After a while, just when everyone was a little out of reach, Meng Zitao pointed out what he had just discovered, and waited for everyone to see it. There are also some shocking people, and they all sigh that the skills of the makers are superb.
After everyone watched them one by one, Zhang Jingqiang laughed and said: "Let's go, let's go to Xi Zhengzhen, I'll see how he quibbles......"
However, Meng Zitao and they pounced until nearly 2 o'clock, before the afternoon auction began. Xi Zhengzhen and Yu Ziming, who had half-long hair and a slight baldness on the top of their heads, walked in with a smile.
"Hmph, I really know how to choose the time!" Zhang Jingqiang snorted coldly.
"It's okay, everyone is here anyway. I'm afraid there won't be a chance to solve it for a while?"
Meng Zitao smiled and continued: "However, this matter is my idea. Let me do it later. ”
Zhang Jingqiang refused: "What you said, we would have been involved in the auction for a while." Hexi Zhengzhen is on top, why is it so clear now? Besides. I've long been tired of him, and this time I just took advantage of this incident to make him a big ugly. ”
Hearing this, Meng Zitao asked with some curiosity: "What, what conflicts have you had with him?"
Zhang Jingqiang said: "I've been to his store before, but this guy is arrogant, he doesn't take me seriously at all, and he refuses to make things cheaper." ”
"No, he's not that kind of person. Meng Zitao didn't believe it, just with Zhang Jingqiang's net worth and connections, Xi Zhengzhen was too late, how could he do this?
Zhang Jingqiang said: "That was a long time ago, I just came out and mixed up on my own for a long time, the company is not big, and the money is not much, so it's strange that he cares about me." Originally, if I didn't agree, I would have to beat him. I haven't been to him since. ”
Meng Zitao smiled, he really didn't expect that Xi Zhengzhen still had such a side.
Next, the auction started on time, and the competition was much fiercer in the afternoon, as the lots in the afternoon were generally better than in the morning.
Meng Zitao was in a good mood, although he made several bids, but he did not become the final winner, but the prices of the few antiques he participated in the auction were unexpectedly good, so what was there to be unhappy about?
Of course, there is also a relationship between Cheng Qiheng and their help.
It should be said that the law does stipulate that the consignor shall not participate in the bidding, nor shall he entrust others to bid on his behalf, but in the matter, there are few auction companies that do not ask for it, otherwise in case the auction result is not very good, the data is not good.
Seeing that the staff brought the next lot to the stage, Meng Zitao's heart moved, and he hurriedly sat down, this time the auction was the bird food jar and the arhat bowl.
The staff introduced these two things with great emotion, and then announced the start of the auction.
"Fifty thousand!"
"Fifty-two!"
"Fifty-eight thousand!"
“……”
Although the increase in price each time is not large, the speed of the price increase is very fast, and in a few moments, the price has exceeded 200,000, and it is still rising rapidly.
"Xiao Meng, it seems that there are a lot of people who like this bird food can. Zhang Jingqiang leaned over to Meng Zitao and whispered.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Although this bird food jar is made of domestic green materials, it is very exquisite in terms of painting, and the shape of the vessel is also rare, of course there are many people who are interested." ”
Zhang Jingqiang asked, "What should we do then?"
"Judging from the current situation, it's up to me to make the offer. Meng Zitao smiled.
Originally, his plan was to raise the price with Zhang Jingqiang and try to raise the price of things as much as possible, but after the first few rounds of bidding, he found that Zhang Jingqiang didn't need to do this at all to achieve his goal.
Zhang Jingqiang looked at a middle-aged man sitting not far from the right, as long as Meng Zitao made an offer just now, he would definitely follow, and he came down several times, needless to say, he knew why.
As for the reason, it is actually not difficult to guess, because there are only a few people who have contradictions with Meng Zitao, and Lu Changdai is the most suspicious.
Zhang Jingqiang asked quietly, "Do you want to teach that guy a lesson?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't use it for the time being, I have already dug a pit for him to jump just now." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jingqiang gloated and smiled.
The price exceeded 300,000, and the quotations that had just been repaid one after another immediately sparsely dispersed, leaving only Lao Yang and the other two bosses.
"350,000!" Meng Zitao raised the price directly from 310,000 to 350,000 for the first time, which surprised others, because the current price has almost reached the peak, and few people will increase the price like this. And Lao Yang's eyes brought some appreciation.
"355,000!" The middle-aged man he had just said did as before, and he quoted the price again.
"380,000. Meng Zitao said lightly.
"385,000!"
"390,000 ......"
Next, as long as Meng Zitao quotes, the middle-aged man will increase the price by 5,000, and his expression is full of contempt, I believe that most people will hate their teeth when they encounter such a person.
When the price was about to approach 450,000, Meng Zitao suddenly said: "600,000!"
As soon as this price came out, there was an uproar around, the price of 450,000 is high enough, and 600,000 is even more sky-high, even if you are vindictive, you don't have to be so ruthless.
“6…… I'll quit!" Because of Meng Zitao's surprise, the middle-aged man immediately followed the price increase, but the uproar around him made him react, and he hurriedly remedied it, but fortunately it was in time.
At this moment, cold sweat broke out in his palms, and he felt that Meng Zitao did this just to let himself take the bait, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably have been laughed to death by others.
However, since he escaped, then Meng Zitao just lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, thinking that he must be sighing and very depressed now.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man looked at Meng Zitao, but found that Meng Zitao was talking and laughing with his friends as if he was nothing, and he seemed very happy, which couldn't help but make him suspicious.
"What's going on? That bird food jar is clearly on display, and it's worth more than 400,000 yuan at most, why is he so happy to buy it for 600,000 yuan? This guy can't be stupid, right?"
But immediately, the middle-aged man felt that this was unlikely, because the happiness on Meng Zitao's face did not look like it was pretending, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was only one possibility, and the Arhat bowl had another future.
Thinking that it was likely to be the case, the middle-aged man was extremely annoyed in his heart, he knew that this was the case, he should not have stopped just now.
"Hmph! will make you proud for a while......"
After a few lots, the staff brought a few paintings and calligraphy, a picture of a mountain trail.
This picture depicts a crane leading a crane strolling through the mountains, covered with green trees and empty mountains. The painting method is like an axe, the tree is like a bent iron, the ink is moist, and the pen is clumsy, and you know that it is a good painting at a glance.
In addition, the style of this painting is known as Renchen Juqiu, and Yuan Jiang painting is on it.
Yuan Jiang was a painter of the Qing Dynasty, and Yongzheng was dedicated to the Palace of Yangxin. Landscape learning Song people, pavilion Seiko. Middle-aged and anonymous sketches, his skills have improved greatly. Its boundary painting, there is the Qing generation to push the first.
The so-called "boundary painting", that is, the depiction of landscapes and pavilions with a straight ruler, is a traditional art category that became an independent discipline earlier, and it is also an important form of classical Chinese landscape painting. Since the Yuan and Ming dynasties, due to the attack of literati, it has been silent for hundreds of years.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Huaiyang region was economically developed, and the aesthetic beauty of the new merchant and citizen class flourished again, and a group of masters specializing in pavilions and pavilions emerged, and Yuan Jiang was one of the most representative.
Although this painting is not a boundary painting, it also has a high standard, which is in line with the characteristics of Yuan Jiang's painting, and is considered by many people to be an authentic work.
In addition, Yuan Jiang's paintings have always performed well at auctions, and although the size of this painting is not large, it still attracts everyone to compete for it. (To be continued.) )
