After Ziyun served the refreshments, Fan Chengru smiled and said to Tang Feng, "Little Tang,." ”

Tang Feng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." ”

Fan Chengru turned to Fan Ziyun and said, "Ziyun, go and take out that Fangtian Huangshi." ”

"Hmm. Fan Ziyun walked into the study after answering, and soon, she walked out with the completed Tianhuang stone carving, Fan Chengru said: "Xiao Tang, you see, if you are not satisfied, you can make small modifications." ”

Fan Ziyun put the Tianhuang stone carving on the coffee table, Tang Feng lowered his head and carefully looked at this baby pimple, this Tianhuang stone carving cleverly used the color transition of the black stone skin, below the middle of the stone carving, the upper end of the base, the background pattern composed of mountains, stones, grasses and trees, etc. A black dragon with teeth and claws is derived from the background pattern, the body of the dragon with shiny scales hovers over the pale yellow and translucent Tianhuang stone, and on the other side, Fan Chengru carved a phoenix with wings flying from the golden stone skin in the middle of the Tianhuang stone. The black dragon body and the golden phoenix feathers are intertwined with each other in the pale yellow and translucent clouds, making the whole stone sculpture look like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, which is very magnificent. Tang Feng put Tian Huangshi upside down, and the base retained the pure black stone skin of Tian Huangshi itself, and on the base, there was a six-character regular script bottom paragraph of "Honest as a work of sealing the mountain".

"How's it going?" Fan Chengru said with great confidence.

"It's great, it's wonderful, it's just flawless. Tang Feng said sincerely: "Old Fan, thank you so much." ”

"Hey. Chen Yan was impressed by the carvers of the Huangshi carving, and he said: "The gap between our generation is too big. ”

As if he said very seriously: "The carver has three hearts, modest, careful, and attentive, and can produce high-quality products if you can do these three hearts." You are not poor in skills, but eager for quick success, either following the rules and sticking to the old ways or blindly following the trend to catch up with the trend, and the lack of artistic innovation and creativity is the root cause. Those who are engaged in carving also have to eat, and it is very important to make money, and you can't always think about making money. ”

Chen only had to be taught in front of Fan Chengru, he nodded and said, "Uncle Shi taught me." ”

Fan Chengru gently stroked this piece of mountain sealing that poured his own blood. said, "Take it back." ”

Everyone could see that the old man was a little reluctant. Fan Ziyun asked Tang Fengdao: "What is Mr. Tang's plan for this Fangtian Huangshi carving?"

If Tang Feng has enough money to give to this old man, he will have all his thoughts. But he is far from being able to do so now. Fan Ziyun's question made him a little difficult to answer, because he really didn't want this old man to know that he was going to auction his works tomorrow.

But Chen Yan did not have the slightest such concern. He said: "This Fangtian Huangshi carving will be auctioned tomorrow." ”

Heard Chen Yandi's words. Fan Chengru looked at this Fangtian Huangshi again. The look. It's like looking at his child. Tang Feng felt very sorry in his heart. Fan Ziyun whispered to Fan Chengru: "Grandpa." Why don't you buy it?"

"Do you think I'm reluctant? You haven't figured it out yet. Fan Chengru seemed to see Tang Feng and Fan Ziyun's thoughts. He looked at Fan Ziyun. said: "The work is like watching a child grow up. You can't stay with yourself for the rest of your life. What parent doesn't want their children to have a good future? The carved works are not left at home to show the ground for themselves. Rather, take it out for others to admire. This is like Ziyun, you will marry sooner or later. But aren't you still my granddaughter when you get married? It doesn't matter who this Fangtian Huangshi sells to. Where to sell. It's always been my work.

"Grandpa. Fan Ziyun sat down next to Fan Chengru like a little girl and said, "I don't marry, so I'll always be by your old man's side." ”

"You'd better get married early. Fan Chengru said with a smile: "Save yourself from thinking about confiscating my wine." ”

Chen Yan and Tang Feng both laughed, as if although he was a master in the carving world, he did not have the frame of a master at all, and his mind was very open-minded, and he was a respectable and lovely old man.

After chatting for a while, Feng and Chen Yan said goodbye and left, and the completion of Tianhuang stone carvings paved the way for the final auction, and at five o'clock in the evening, Tang Feng and Chen Yan came to Zhu Ji Auction House together. Surprisingly, the exhibition hall of Zhu Kee Auction House is different from the overall style of Zhu Kee, the layout of the exhibition hall is very fashionable, and the format of the auction exhibition is also very relaxed. Well-dressed guests whispered in groups with goblets in hand, and polite waiters carried trays of cocktails on which cocktails were wobbly. There are also some customers who gather in front of the glass display case to inquire about the auction, and now they are not in a hurry to inspect it, and after a while, all the lots will be taken to the inspection area with a special explanation.

At this time, Tang Feng saw Liu Yue, she was wearing a black stand-up collar evening dress that was not very revealing, and her figure was even more slender and charming against the backdrop of the evening dress. The green silk hair pulled up high unabashedly emphasizes her white and flawless, swan-like jade neck, angular face graceful and individual, noble and elegant, there is no lack of sexy temperament that makes people think about it.

"Tang Feng. Liu Yue slowly walked in front of Tang Feng, Tang Feng looked at her, nodded and said, "Well, you are really beautiful." ”

Liu Yue is good to Tang Feng, Tang Feng knows in his heart, but he is always reluctant to think about this problem, Lin Muyu and Liu Yue will meet again sooner or later, maybe tomorrow, because Lin Muyu will also go to the auction site.

Chen Yan looked around and said to Liu Yue: "Your Zhu Ji's marketing work is very well done. ”

Liu Yue smiled and said, "For the auction house, it is very important to create a good atmosphere, and the environment affects people. "It's not hard to understand that the environment can often subtly influence people, if the lot exhibition is like a vegetable market, the guests

When the lot is auctioned, it will also rush up, and the result will definitely be miserable

However, Tang Feng was not affected by the good atmosphere, he asked Liu Yue, "Is Dong Minquan here?" If this rich old man can come, Tang Feng will have more confidence in his heart.

Liu Yue shook her head and said: "Such a big man will not come in person, he has his own team, and the identification and analysis are all done by professionals, maybe they have already formulated a complete set of bidding plans." ”

How can I say this, although the current Tang Feng has developed quite well, compared with this rapid development speed, his thinking is still stuck in the small peasant consciousness, and he still has a lot of room for growth.

Liu Yue looked at Tang Feng's expression and said: "Don't worry, those who should come have come to our reputation as a guarantee, and more than 20 enterprises and individuals have already paid the bidding deposit and received the bidding number plate." ”

Paying the bidding deposit does not mean that the customer will definitely participate in the auction, let alone that they will participate in the competition for Tang Feng's two lots, and if they do not succeed in the bidding, the deposit will still be refunded, but this can also be used as a reference for the number of bidders.

Tang Feng didn't stay long on the auction display, his mind had already flown to the auction at noon tomorrow, after all, it was a big deal, Tang Feng was like a primary school student who was going to participate in the spring outing the next day, so excited that he didn't sleep well all night.

At noon the next day, Feng and Lin Muyu came to Zhu Ji Auction House together, and Chen Yan, Fan Chengru and Fan Ziyun also arrived together. Obviously, Zhu Ji attaches great importance to this transaction, Zhu Biwei personally greeted the guests at the door, Liu Yue's grandfather also came, when Tang Feng first met Liu Yue, he saw this old man in Tianjin Zhu Ji, he is the chairman of Zhu Ji.

; Yan saw Tang Feng and Lin Muyu holding hands and sweating for him, according to the theory of Chen Yan and all men with fancy intestines, Tang Feng committed a taboo, and after today, the relationship between Liu Yue and Tang Feng will be more difficult to say.

Lin Yu and Liu Yue had met when they auctioned the wat board last time, and in the face of Tang Feng, this matter could not be kept secret, and they did not think about keeping it secret. Just when Chen Yan was worried about nothing, Liu Yue walked towards Tang Feng with her grandfather in her arms, saw Tang Feng, saw Lin Muyu, and saw the two of them holding hands. However, the scene of sparks did not appear, and through Tang Feng's introduction, Liu Yue naturally shook hands with Lin Muyu and affectionately called her Sister Lin. Chen Yan didn't use his brain to think about it, would a lady like Liu Yue, who had received a good upbringing since childhood, show any emotions in front of so many people?

Liu Yue's grandfather's name is Zhu Chengji, and he and Fan Chengru, after chatting with Tang Feng politely, the two old men started a family routine. And Lin Muyu, Liu Yue and Fan Ziyun didn't know if it was because of fate or other reasons, the three of them chatted happily.

Chen Yan, who didn't see the wonderful performance, had been paying attention to Liu Yue's expression, but the result surprised him, who had come over, she was no different from usual. From the perspective of a bystander, during the time she spent with Tang Feng, Liu Yue never said anything like liking Tang Feng, and normal behavior was reasonable, but Chen Yan insisted that the more normal Liu Yue behaved, the less abnormal it was.

The bystanders are obsessed with the authorities, and Chen Yan has an almost superstitious confidence in Tang Feng, so he has the leisure to immerse himself in the conception of the soap plot. But Tang Feng is not so relaxed, although other people's confidence in him comes from him, but he has not seen much of a big scene, he is inevitably a little nervous, and after looking around and not finding Dong Minquan's figure, his heart is even more worried. After all, no one knows what will happen until the results are out.

Time waits for no one, soon, the auction will be opened, everyone with their own thoughts sat in the bidding VIP seat, perhaps hoping to get off to a good start, the No. 1 lot arranged by Zhu Ji Auction House is Tang Feng's gilded bronze Buddha statue, and the auctioneer of the master of ceremonies and host began to do pre-auction support.

As we all know, the pinnacle of gilded bronze art appeared in the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, and the highest transaction record for bronze was the gilded bronze Buddha statue. In 2006, Sotheby's held a special auction of "gilt bronze Buddha in the early Ming Dynasty" at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and a "gilt bronze statue of Shakyamuni in Yongle of the Ming Dynasty" set a record with a transaction price of 116.6 billion Hong Kong dollars.

After quoting the classics, the auctioneer began to make a final statement, he said: "According to scientific research, the starting point of the pinnacle of gilded bronze art reached in the Yongxuan period was in the early Tang Dynasty, and our No. 1 lot today is the representative work of this period - Tang Kaiyuan gilt bronze Buddha statue, the reserve price is 3c 000,000, and the auction is starting now!"

The operation of Zhu Ji Auction House has stabilized the pulse of the market, and the flourishing branches and leaves must have roots, and through this vertical connection, they have skillfully linked the gilt bronze Buddha statue of Tang Kaiyuan and the gilded bronze statue of Sakyamuni in Yongle of the Ming Dynasty.

After the auctioneer called the start of the auction, they waited for the bidder's offer, Tang Feng and Chen Yan also cheered up 120,000 points to prepare for the crowds, ear-to-ear, frequent quotations and card scenes, but these scenes that should have appeared at the auction site did not appear, and there was a cold scene on the huge auction site, and Lot 1 suffered from the merciless cold encounter of the market and entered the dilemma of no one to respond to the price. Tang Feng and Chen Yan looked at each other, both the bidding and the consignment seats were silent, as long as the auctioneer's pale and feeble voice of asking for the price echoed repeatedly in the auction.

The wish is beautiful, but the reality is that the cruel trace did not happen after all, Tang Feng and Zhu Ji Auction House were unfavorable, and the Waterloo lot was unsold because no one responded to the price. Tang Feng was worried that collectors were only interested in the works of their peak, and they were not museums or cultural relics research institutes, so they had no interest in going back to the roots and doing academic research.

The first hit turned into a stick, and Chen Yan, who was still salty and carried about the radish just now, was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, and immediately wilted.

The kind of wilting method that can't be lifted up even if you lie down in the crops. Tang Feng began to slide to the bottom of the valley with anxiety, which was also a little too miserable. At this time, Yu's warm little hand gently shook his hand, and she whispered: "Don't worry too much, the point is not here, but the six treasures in the study." ”

Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't comfort me, I don't care at all." He said so, but he really couldn't do it in his heart, this time he was not only worried about the difference between the transaction price and the purchase price, but he had to be prepared to accept the unsuccessful auction. If the auction continues, Zhang Daqian's "Autumn Landscape" will not play a role, and the loss of 2 million is the most conservative estimate. Moreover, the failure of the auction also means that these days of hard work are completely wasted, and everything has to be done from scratch, which is an incalculable blow to confidence.

The auction is still going on, and Tang Feng is no longer in the mood to watch the excitement when he raises signs, asks for quotations, and drops the hammer. The next few auctions have gone relatively smoothly, but the transaction prices are not high, and the auction house has not yet formed a **.

Finally, when it comes to the final finale, no matter what the result is, it always takes people to go through this process, although he suffers a blow, but Tang Feng is not so fragile that he dare not face it, and he doesn't want to affect the mood of the people around him because of his frustration, he clenched his fists, cheered up and began to pay attention to the auction of the six treasures of the study.

The gold content of the six treasures of this study is beyond doubt, although the golden silk nanmu is not the best pen shaft, but it is also a fine product, and the purple hao that constitutes the key part of the brush is the indisputable superb; Li Chenglong's Kangxi Gongmo is difficult to say that the best is not because it is not qualified, but because the first group of the best ancient ink is too large; there is no one at the green end of the bear pit; the whole knife is unparalleled in the world; although there are some flaws in the plum green brush, it is second only to the Longquan kiln celadon of the national treasure level; Tian Huangshi is the best stone of the emperor level, and it is the master's work of sealing the mountain, which can be described as a treasure。 The six treasures of this ink-paper inkstone are very tempting to collectors, especially those who are good at calligraphy, holding the golden silk nanmu purple pen in the Xiongkeng inkstone to dip their feet in tribute ink, hovering on the large paper of the Arita Huangshi pressure array, looking at the plum green pen wash, this feeling is not an unparalleled supreme enjoyment for a person who loves calligraphy.

The auctioneer said: "The pen and paper inkstone wash the six treasures of the study, Zhu Ji auction house fidelity, the reserve price is 25 million, there is no minimum increase, start the auction now!"

According to the practice of the auction industry, if the bidder does not make an offer, if the bidder does not make an offer, the bid will be raised once and the minimum increase will be defaulted to a minimum increase. Lots that do not have a minimum increase are generally marked with the price to be bid on a sign, and of course, verbal offers are still valid, but only subject to the sign.

As soon as the start of the auction fell, in the auction seat, a bidder raised the sign in his hand, and he added 500,000 yuan at one time - 10,000!

On the left of Tang Feng is Chen Yan, on the right is Lin Muyu, on Chen Yan's side sit Fan Chengru and Fan Ziyun, and on Lin Muyu's side sit Liu Yue and Zhu Chengji. Fan Ziyun obviously knew the bidder, and she said to Chen Yan: "He is the first store of Beijing Wenfang, and the owner of Wenfangzhai Rong Zicheng." ”

Liu's is not wrong, this study room six treasures did cause a sensation in the study utensils market, the capital is a little bit of calligraphy and scholars all present, almost at the same time, another white-haired bidder on the auction table raised the offer to 25.6 million, Lin Muyu, who also loves calligraphy, said to Tang Feng: "This is the contemporary calligrapher Zhou Yanqiu." ”

When the third bidder held up a sign with 2570 written on it, 1c became a conventional increase, considering that the target price of the commission paid to Zhu Ji Auction House for 10% of the transaction price was 330, and it would take dozens of rounds to reach Tang's goal, which could not help but make him anxious.

He was in a hurry, Chen Yan, who had finally poked his head out of the crop field, was more anxious than him because he pressed all his belongings, opened early and returned early, he couldn't afford it more than Tang Feng.

As the offer deepened, there were fewer and fewer participants, and in the end there were only four left, and the offer was only 28 million

At this point, the auctioneer's bidding began to hover around the auction site, indicating that the interval between the two offers was already widening and the participants were beginning to hesitate. The auctioneer took the trouble to ask: "Is there a higher 28 million at 28 million?"

There is an estimated change is a plan, and a change without warning is called a turnaround when the increase in quotations is the most difficult, and there is a clear quotation sound from the entrusted seat - 10,000!

Tang Feng let out a sigh of relief, the killer finally appeared, this person's first offer directly expanded the increase to 10,000, as long as the bidder just now continued to offer, it would kick off the high-speed increase.

But Tang Feng overestimated the ability of the previous bidders, they needed to repeatedly consider the increase of 100,000 times, and when the increase suddenly rose to 10,000, their reaction changed from deliberation to struggle, from struggle to giving up.

The auction site is by no means a good place to pretend, after all, 10,000 can only be installed once, the price of the auction killer is learned, this guy is the opportunity to choose the weak competition to suddenly kill, the purpose of greatly increasing the price is obvious, he wants to make the four bidders who have begun to waver and hesitate to retreat.

"The No. 7 buyer quoted 29 million 29 million, and the auctioneer, who asked again and again to no avail, raised the auction hammer in his hand.

Although the transaction price of 29 million is still far from Tang Fengwan's target price, Tang Feng can also

The price, plus the problem of the price of the "Autumn Landscape".

Life is like looking for something, when we are desperate to find something, we often can't find it when we turn over the cabinets, and when we don't want to find it, it has a coincidence that it appears.

At this time, another auction killer appeared, and on the bidding table, a young man wearing sunglasses with a cold expression silently raised the offer card in his hand, which read: - 10,000.

Before the auctioneer could speak, another quotation came from the consignment seat - 1c 000,000.

The young man, still expressionless, erased the 3 from the bidding board with a napkin and added another 3 with a marker.

There were two auction killers at the same time in one auction, and the entire auction site was brought in**, and the auctioneer's voice began to firm, and he said loudly: "33 million, the No. 1 buyer on the auction table bid 33 million, and there is no higher, 33 million once"

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, the real big buyers are not willing to focus on the small fights in the early stage, they only participate in the final battle, and the auction battle has no strategy at all, it is the first naked money competition. The offerer on the bench did not expect to encounter such a fierce resistance, and the offer of 33 million obviously exceeded their psychological price, and he had to ask the boss behind the scenes whether to increase the price through the mobile phone that had been connected to the phone.

Liu Yue took out her hand~ to look at the information, and after a while, she said to Lin Muyu: "Sister Lin, I have checked the information, these two bidders have not participated in Zhu Ji's auction before. "Mature companies have a complete customer database, and as long as this kind of killer person appears, it will definitely be recorded. It is impossible for an upstart to participate in this level of competition, and it is clear that these two are the legendary great god vests.

When Liu Yue spoke, Tang Feng looked at Liu Yue, but Liu Yue never looked at him from beginning to end, Tang Feng understood in his heart that although Liu Yue kept saying that he regarded himself as a friend, but after this incident, he and Liu Yue were afraid that they would not even have to be friends, and the chance of pure friendship between men and women, especially between young men and women, was almost non-existent. Thinking that the relationship with Liu Yue was about to come to an abrupt end, Tang Feng had an indescribable complex feeling in his heart, which diluted the joy brought to him by the 33 million offer, and people's hearts were always insufficient.

However, Tang Feng really doesn't understand women, from Liu Yue's point of view, there is no need for her to get so close to Lin Muyu, she has only one purpose in passing the news to Lin Muyu, that is, she wants Tang Feng to know.

Tang Feng, who had gains and losses, packed up his mood and turned his eyes to look at Chen Yan, who was in a state of excitement after the auction killer appeared, and he kept communicating with Fan Ziyun about something. When Tang Feng looked at Chen Yan, Fan Ziyun happened to look at him, and the eyes of the two met in the air. Fan Ziyun nodded slightly to Tang Feng and gave him a sweet smile, but Tang Feng only heard Chen Yan's last sentence - my brother has a good eye, and the painting is Zhang Daqian's.

Tang Feng knew that he wanted to: Chen Yan's big mouth sold him, and the experts he met when he was looking at this painting went with Fan Ziyun, Fan Ziyun knew that he had picked up the leak, and the two experts would also know that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and it will be difficult to make a fortune if they are targeted.

At this time, there was a loud quotation sound from the commission seat again - 10,000!

There was a commotion in the crowd, and the most ** of the auction appeared, and the entrusted person on the commission table came out with confidence after asking the boss behind the scenes, and he suddenly increased the increase to 3 million.

"Wait a minute, may I ask a question?" the grim young man finally spoke.

This is an important customer, and the auction house did not dare to slack off, and the staff immediately sent the microphone to the young man. Of course, the auctioneer has to maintain his impartial image, and he said without humility or arrogance: "Please be as short as possible, I will fall the hammer after the effective time of the offer!"

The cold young man said: "I only have one question to ask Mr. Fan Chengru. ”

was messed up, the topic was pulled to Fan Chengru, Fan Chengru stood up with Fan Ziyun's support, and the staff immediately sent the microphone to him.

"I want to say something.

It was the auctioneer who spoke, and he said, "Mr. Fan can not answer any questions." ”

"Haha. Fan Chengru said with a smile: "This young man is interesting, let him ask." ”

The grim young man asked, "I'm really sorry for you, this question can only be answered by your old man." ”

Fan Chengru said: "Don't say that these are useless, you can ask directly if you have something." ”

"Thank you. The cold young man said: "I think Mr. Fan, is the black dragon Jin Fengtian Huangshi carved paperweight in the six treasures of the study really your mountain-sealing work?"

This question is indeed only Fan Chengru can answer, the works of celebrities often represent the highest level of personal reflection, is one of the important appreciation potential, because this is the last work of his life, after that, his unique artistic style will not be reproduced, that is, similar works that appear in the future can only be imitations.

The sentence is not good, Mr. Fan is already a lot old, and the time for the overall appreciation of his personal works is not far away, because as soon as a person dies, the irreproducible characteristics of artworks are particularly prominent. In 1993, Mr. Lu Yanshao, a famous modern Chinese painting master in China, passed away, during his lifetime, the price of his calligraphy and painting works per square foot was between 2,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan; five or six years after his death, his works rose to 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per square foot, and in 2003, that is, ten years later, the price rose to 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

Fan Chengru said his answer lightly, only eight words, it is about to die, why bother to deceive others?
