Chapter 221: Charity Auction
Charity Auction ......
With the announcement of the host, Mr. Lu Weixiong's private auction officially began, and the security guard also instantly closed the door in the auction hall on the third floor.
"This is Mr. Lo Wai Hung's private auction, and we welcome people from all walks of life to come and hope that everyone can auction their favorite collections in this auction. Now I would like to invite Mr. Lu to speak!" After the elegant and elegant hostess finished speaking, a calm and wise middle-aged* appeared on the stage.
"First of all, I feel that everyone participates in this personal auction, I hope everyone can auction their favorite treasures, and secondly, among my many collections, most of them are Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and most of the collections in these eras. After Mr. Lu Weixiong finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause!!
Hearing what Mr. Lu said on the stage, Zhao Ming's heart was still a little shocked, and no matter what happened to Lu Weixiong before, but it is indeed a good thing to have such an idea, not to mention that Link asked him to come here to bid this time, anyway, Link is a typical rich second generation, and he has money, if he shoots more antiques or jade, wouldn't it be an indirect donation to charity, thinking of this, Zhao Ming's face showed a subtle smile.
Soon the first piece of collection was taken up by the lady of etiquette on the side, it was a Tang Dynasty Tang Sancai porcelain horse, as soon as this thing appeared, it was auctioned by everyone, from the popularity of the scene, most people still like the Tang Sancai porcelain horse in front of them, Lin Ke, who was sitting next to Zhao Ming, was also nervous at this time, and he looked at Zhao Ming, who had been silent.
He didn't know what he meant.
"In your opinion, do you think this Tang Sancai porcelain horse is genuine or fake?" Link suddenly asked in Zhao Ming's ear, almost startling Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming looked at the Tang Sancai porcelain horse on the stage, and suddenly a series of records that only have professional books appeared in his mind, and the most important thing in the identification of Tang Sancai was to achieve three elements, modeling, tires, and glaze. But Zhao Ming knows that there are a lot of high-quality imitations of Tang Sancai now, and it may not be so easy to identify from these three sides alone, and for a while, Zhao Ming doesn't know how to make a conclusion.
"If Mr. Link really likes this Tang Sancai porcelain horse, I can go up and appraise it......" Zhao Ming asked tentatively, after all, the person who paid the money was Link, not to mention that Zhao Ming was forced to accompany Link to the auction this time.
"Then let's go together, whether you can get the real thing or not now depends on you!" Link said a word, and handed over such a difficult task to Zhao Ming, and Zhao Ming instantly felt a lot of pressure.
Such a private auction, of course, also supports bidders to inspect the goods on the stage, after all, more and more collectors now in the face of their favorite collections, will also behave quite calmly, no one wants to spend hundreds of thousands in vain, when the time comes, it is not the real thing, but a fake.
Link got up and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu's collection, I like it very much, why don't I let this appraiser next to me help identify it, if it is genuine, I will naturally spare no financial resources and actively bid for it." ”
Lu Weixiong, who was standing on the stage, nodded, and then motioned for Zhao Ming and Link to walk up together, deep in Lu Weixiong's heart, he also hoped that someone could help him identify the authenticity, after all, there are too many Tang Sancai porcelain horses on the market now.
With Mr. Lu's approval, Zhao Ming and Link walked towards the stage together, and another magical scene appeared in Zhao Ming's mind, which made Zhao Ming himself a little suspicious.
In addition to the thick glaze layer on the surface of this Tang Dynasty Tang Sancai porcelain horse in front of you, and with the naked eye, there are few bubbles in the glaze, and its luster is also bright and soft, with the luster of the surface of ancient porcelain, and the tail and body of the Tang Sancai porcelain horse are also connected as one.
Zhao Ming left the stage with a smile, and Link also followed Zhao Ming's footsteps back to the stage, at this time the auction had already begun, and it didn't take long for it to enter the white-hot level.
Seeing that it had changed from the original 200,000 to 480,000, Link's heart was a little excited, he glanced at Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming nodded slightly. After getting such information, Link decided to go all out and bid for the Tang Sancai porcelain horse in front of him.
In the end, Link won the bid for 500,000 yuan, looking at the Tang Sancai porcelain horse in front of him, Link couldn't put it down, and he decided to put this collection in his study.
While Link was still basking in the joy of the first collection, the second lot had been brought to the stage by Miss Manners.
This second auction item is a calligraphy and painting, and it is also a picture of the snow scene and cold forest of the Northern Song Dynasty painting master Fan Kuan, as soon as this calligraphy and painting came on, it attracted everyone's attention, but everyone did not know the authenticity of this painting, and did not act rashly.
Zhao Ming looked at the snow scene and cold forest map in front of him, and suddenly a lot of descriptions involuntarily appeared in his mind, but the snow scene and cold forest map in front of him were completely different from what he thought of in his mind, and Zhao Ming instantly felt that the snow scene and cold forest map auctioned in front of him must be a fake.
Link and the others all bid to start bidding, and finally this calligraphy and painting was bought by an old gentleman for two million, maybe everyone really came for charity this time, but Zhao Ming thought that the old gentleman might have bought a fake of the snow scene and cold forest map, and his heart was full of doubts.
Seeing that Zhao Ming hadn't spoken, Link guessed that the calligraphy and painting on the stage just now must be a fake, compared to these blind people at the auction site, he felt that he was still very smart, and he even thought of asking Zhao Ming to come over to help check it, thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Link's face.
Huang Shaofeng sat next to him and didn't know what to say, obviously Zhao Ming's appearance made the distance between him and Link a lot farther away in an instant, at this moment Huang Shaofeng was thinking in his heart, when the auction is over, he must humiliate Zhao Ming, and let Zhao Ming, it is best not to appear by Link's side in the future.
Just when everyone was waiting a little impatiently, the third auction item finally came on, this time it was a piece of porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty porcelain vase on the stage looked very much like the most representative glaze red porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty porcelain.
This glaze red porcelain is generally painted on the fetus after the decoration, in the cover of the transparent glaze, fired at a high temperature to make it, because the red pattern in the glaze, so quite a favorite collectors.
Zhao Ming's mind suddenly appeared a lot of things that even he couldn't understand, the glaze of the Yuan Dynasty was red and grayish-white, and the utensils were mostly bowls and jars, and the decoration was extremely simple, and the piece on the stage looked extremely delicate, and it was also particularly cumbersome in decoration, and Zhao Ming knew in an instant that the glaze red in the Yuan Dynasty on the stage was really a fake.
Seeing that Zhao Ming had never spoken, Link naturally couldn't shoot it easily, seeing that this collection was photographed by others, Link felt a little sorry in his heart, but at this moment he invited Zhao Ming over, so naturally he could only listen to Zhao Ming.
This fourth auction item, as soon as it came to the stage, it obviously caused a lot of sensation, it turned out that this was a colorful fish algae pattern lid jar in the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty.
This auction item should be a piece of porcelain from the time of the palace display, straight mouth, neckless, huge belly in addition, circle feet and lid, white glaze and colorful fish algae pattern all over, the shape is simple, the color looks heavy and gorgeous, the composition is extremely rigorous, the carp scale fin is clear, and the surrounding lotus, aquatic plants and duckweed are integrated, vivid and full of infinite interest, people fall in love at first sight.
Not only the people who participated in the auction on the spot, but even Zhao Ming himself couldn't say how much he liked it, and his intuition told him that the auction item on the stage must be genuine, but when he thought of Link being vulgar and so arrogant, Zhao Ming didn't speak, but Huang Shaofeng on the side was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, constantly urging Link.
In the end, a middle-aged woman won the bid for 3.5 million, and when Zhao Ming was about to remind Link that it was already a step too late, Link said helplessly: "Hey, it's all because Young Master Ben is late, even you think that colorful fish algae pattern lid jar is a good thing, it seems that Young Master Ben has nothing to do with that treasure." ”
Hearing Link say this, Zhao Ming's heart was a little funny, he never thought that Link in front of him would be so cheeky, and he was so scoundrel.
At this time, the host walked up to the stage and said with a smile: "This fifth auction item is also the last auction item today, I hope everyone can actively participate in the auction and do their part for charity!" As soon as the words fell, the fifth auction item had been held and brought up, it turned out to be a jade cabbage from the Qing Dynasty, as soon as this thing came to the stage, all the people were particularly curious.
People who like to collect antiques know that this jade can be described as the best, and jade cabbage is also extremely common on weekdays, to carve such a large jade jade cabbage, I am afraid it also requires a good jadeite, and the size and shape of the jade are also extremely strict, Zhao Ming did not recommend Link to bid for the jade cabbage in front of him, but Link showed a eager expression.
In the end, Link finally got his wish and got the beautiful jade cabbage, with everyone's applause, the auction also entered the end, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the only thing Zhao Ming did when he walked out of the auction site was to get rid of Link's entanglement and return to Dongcheng.
