Chapter 313: Fierce Bidding
The auction scene finally quieted down, and occasionally there were people whispering there, Zhao Ming looked at the cloisonné enamel finger lotus pattern elephant ear stove placed on the table, and suddenly had a hunch that it could never be genuine.
"It's not a secret, this Ming Dynasty cloisonné enamel lotus pattern amphora on the stage is a high-imitation fake, and it can be regarded as the opening warm-up of this antique auction, thanks to the cooperation of Mr. Song Rui, a senior appraiser in China, and congratulations to Mr. Shen Gongzi for being able to auction the antiques collected by Mr. Shen in the early years!"
Standing on the stage, listening to the endless warm applause, Song Rui hid the embarrassment on his face, as a senior expert in China, if it weren't for the host's words just now, I am afraid that at this moment, he would have already made everyone question, he echoed everyone's applause, showing a calm smile.
Song Rui's eyes were proud, as if his appraisal results just now were just a funny joke, and now he was laughing heartily with everyone present.
After all, Shen Tianming photographed his own baby, and he should be happy, but at this moment, Shen Tianming inadvertently looked at Song Rui's eyes, which made Song Rui's heart palpitate.
Since the first antique presented on stage is a fake, there has always been an unwritten rule in the antique industry, since it is a fake, even if it is well-made, it is considered a high imitation, but in the final analysis, it is not as good as the real thing, in order not to let the fake fish and pearls mix, the most direct way is to destroy the fake.
At this time, Song Rui stepped forward and handed the antique to Shen Tianming's hand, Shen Tianming smiled helplessly, and then took the antique, but the antique fell to the ground in an instant, and everyone in the audience could see it clearly.
It turned out that Shen Tianming held the antique in his hand, but accidentally, the antique fell to the ground, and there was a crisp sound on the stage.
"Shen Gongzi, this is also a treasure of four million shots, even if it is a high imitation, it will not be so ......" Song Rui said helplessly.
"Since Mr. Song has already identified this object as a fake, but it is definitely not genuine, it is normal for that fake to be broken!
Hearing Shen Tianming say so lightly, Song Rui's heart became more and more bottomless, and then the host stepped forward and said with a smile: "Just now Shen Gongzi has decided to donate all the four million from today's auction of antiques for charity!" As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause rang out at the scene.
Song Rui and Shen Tianming walked down from the stage together, each returned to their respective seats, and Huang Jian, who was sitting next to Wang Zhiwei, looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was also infinitely emotional.
He really didn't expect that this Shen Tianming's shot would be so generous, and the high-imitation cloisonné enamel entwined lotus pattern elephant ear stove just now was photographed by Shen Tianming for four million yuan, but the baby that was patted was only heard by a sound, and it was a pity to think about it.
However, with the strength of the Shen family in the provincial capital and the financial resources over the years, this meagre four million will naturally not be taken into account, and in the end, all of them were donated to charity, not only did good deeds, but also left a good reputation.
Quan Shangwu, chairman of Shangmei Media, and Lan Zhengyu of Blue Feather Media Co., Ltd. were also shocked by Shen Tianming's generosity, they never thought that Shen Tianming would spend four million just to listen to the sound at this antique auction.
Just when everyone was sighing, the second antique in this antique auction came on the market, although this second antique is not as colorful as the cloisonné enamel entwined lotus pattern like the ear furnace just displayed, but it is not inferior to it in any way.
"This second antique is the Tang Dance Horsebit Cup Pattern Silver Kettle, which is also a very rare antique treasure, with a starting price of two million!"
Zhao Ming sat on the appraisal seat, looked at the big screen, the body of the Tang Dance horsebit cup pattern silver kettle in front of him was flat and round, one end opened a vertical cylindrical hole, and there was a lotus petal-type lid on it, and the top of the pot had a silver chain and was connected to the bow-shaped handle, this kind of shape was not only convenient for going out to ride and hunt but also convenient for use in daily life, it is not difficult to see that the craftsmen at that time were unique in the design.
With the opening warm-up just now, everyone present at this time became more cautious, no one was willing to take the lead in shouting, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while, and Wang Zhiwei of the magic capital here raised the sign in his hand.
"Two million 1 million!" After speaking, Wang Zhiwei glanced at the first round of bidding of a few people, and then stopped silent, Zhao Ming knew that this Wang Zhiwei is the rich second generation of the magic capital, and conceited by nature, he saw that no one was bidding, so he took the lead in bidding, it seems that he must also be very interested in the Tang Dance Horsebit Cup silver kettle on the stage, otherwise he would not raise the shouting card in his hand.
"Two million once!"
"Two million and two ......" Just as the host was about to say the final answer, Quan Shangwu of Shangmei Media raised the sign in his hand and looked at Wang Zhiwei with a smile on his face.
"Two million three thousand!" Quan Shangwu said lightly, his eyes revealing great interest in this Tang Dance horsebit cup pattern silver kettle.
Mei Lisha, who was sitting next to Lan Zhengxu, chairman of Blue Feather Media Co., Ltd., asked curiously at this time: "Mr. Lan, why don't you bid for the silver kettle on this stage?"
"Do you like it?" Lan Jung-wook asked with a smile, there was still no expression on his face, giving people a feeling of rejection from thousands of miles away, but despite this, Melissa still couldn't stop being infatuated with and chasing after him.
Lan Zhengxu's faint question, but Melissa was a little flattered, if she was in the company on weekdays, Lan Zhengxu had never taken her thoughts into account, and today the two were alone together, and they would ask her, which was a little excited for Melissa, and even a little happy.
"The silver kettle with the dancing horsebit cup pattern on this stage is very three-dimensional, and the shape is also extremely chic!" Melissa said softly, in addition to her gentle tone, but also unscrupulously expressing her opinion.
"I don't have much interest in the dancing horsebit cup pattern silver kettle on the stage, the gentleman doesn't take the beauty of people, so let those who like it participate in the auction!" Lan Zhengxu stopped paying attention to Melissa after speaking, which made Melissa a little lost instantly.
Shen Tianming saw that Wang Zhiwei and Quan Shangwu of Shangmei Media were both interested in this antique on the stage, so he decided not to participate in the auction anymore and sat on the sidelines and watched coldly.
The silver-haired old man feels like an old overseas Chinese who has just returned to China, and he naturally doesn't want to miss such a treasure, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty's dancing horsebit cup pattern silver kettle has a unique shape, he didn't hold back, so he raised the sign and joined the auction.
"Two million six thousand!" said the silver-haired old man with a smile.
"Three million!" This time it was not someone else who shouted the price, but Li Bin, Zhao Ming never thought that this Li Bin and the four young men of the provincial capital were sitting under the stage together, and they were so interested in the Tang Dance horsebit cup pattern silver kettle on the stage.
"Three million .9 million!" Wang Zhiwei said arrogantly as he raised the price sign.
"Four million!" the silver-haired old man was not to be outdone, and followed with a sign raised.
"Four and a half million!" Quan Shangwu said with a smile as he held up the sign, unwilling to give up at all.
The fierce bidding situation on the scene seemed to be unstoppable, and after a period of shouting bidding, this antique with a starting price of only two million became more than four million in an instant, and then the next one was shouted to seven million.
"Seven million two hundred thousand!" The silver-haired old man hesitated for a moment, but still raised the price tag, in his opinion, it was worth spending some more money to get such a treasure, after all, the wisdom of the ancients was priceless.
"Seven and a half million!" Wang Zhiwei said with a smile, it seems that he was carrying it with the silver-haired old man who shouted the price! The two continued to bid without concession.
"Seven million six thousand!" Li Bin said with a smile as he held up the sign.
"Seven million eight hundred thousand!" the silver-haired old man held up the price tag and said lightly, looking like he was bound to win.
"Seven million eight thousand once! Seven million eight thousand twice! Seven million three times!"
Such a result was unexpected for Zhao Ming, in Zhao Ming's opinion, Wang Zhiwei of the magic capital had already begun to shout the price as soon as he came to power in this antique, and he would definitely not give up with his financial resources, but he chose to give up.
Quan Shangwu of Shangmei Media felt that Zhao Ming was particularly familiar when the host introduced Zhao Ming, but now he saw Sun Jing sitting in the audience, and naturally remembered the two of them.
When Zhao Ming looked at Quan Shangwu, he was a little embarrassed, pretending to be whispering to the female secretary, Zhao Ming saw all this, but he still didn't have a good impression of this person in his heart.
Li Bin has obviously shouted the price to 7.6 million, but for some reason he chose to give up in the end, with Zhao Ming's understanding of Li Bin, Li Bin's father is engaged in real estate business in the provincial capital, and he can be described as a real estate tycoon in the provincial capital, this little money is naturally nothing to him, but he spends extravagantly on weekdays, but he is afraid that if he really shoots the antique on the stage, he will have to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.
The host did not invite Song Rui to the stage this time to authenticate the authenticity of the Tang Dance horsebit cup pattern silver kettle, let alone invite Zhou Kai, a well-known appraiser in the provincial capital.
"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Zhao Ming, a senior domestic appraiser from Dongcheng, to come to the stage to identify whether the Tang Dance Horsebit Cup pattern silver kettle on this stage is genuine or fake?" said the host with a smile.
Zhao Ming got up and walked towards the stage, this long-lost antique auction, this long-lost appraisal table, for Zhao Ming, it was not strange at all, but a little indescribably cordial, Zhao Ming slowly stepped forward, picked up the antique of the Tang Dynasty, and then carefully appraised it,
Time passed minute by minute, Sun Jing in the audience also waited anxiously with everyone, Zhang Hai also sat in the audience and watched lightly, the four young people in the provincial city and Li Bin were relaxed, in their opinion, this is not a difficult thing for Zhao Ming at all, in the final analysis, it is also Zhao Ming's strength, after all, Zhao Ming's title of senior appraiser is not in vain.
Ten minutes passed, and Zhao Ming finally turned around slowly, and then faced everyone who participated in the antique auction.
"After my careful appraisal just now, there is no doubt that this Tang Dance Horsebit Cup Pattern Silver Kettle on the stage is genuine!" As soon as Zhao Ming's words were finished, the scene burst into warm applause.
If it were someone else, he would naturally get lost in this applause, but Zhao Ming is different, he has always been cautious and knows that some things are not as simple as casual talk, especially standing on the stage at this moment, facing the majority of collectors, as a senior appraiser in China, he must naturally be reasonable and evidence-based, and tell everyone what is going on, so that everyone can be convinced.
"As a colleague, I am naturally also thinking about everyone, since Mr. Zhao said that this antique on the stage is genuine, then please also ask Mr. Zhao to tell the reason, so that the people who participate in the auction today can know one or two, and if they encounter similar collections in the future, they can also identify one or two!" Song Rui got up and said, although his face was full of smiles, but it could be said that there was a knife hidden in his smile.
For Zhao Ming, although he has not been in the appraisal industry for too long, but this industry is not to say that they are all righteous gentlemen, this thing gathers by like, and people are divided by groups It really makes sense, it seems that even if it is not a chess opponent, there will inevitably be a competition today, so it is only a matter of time, the soldiers will block, the water will cover up, thinking of these, Zhao Ming smiled indifferently and looked at Song Rui
