Hearing that Mr. He Liu reported Shijie's name, I had the impulse to go to Taiyuan and ask Shijie about the origin of this story, but after thinking about it, it would be more appropriate to go to Beijing first, find Lao Xu, who is in the literary and entertainment circle, and find out about the jar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info So he asked Mr. He Liu for the address of the antique shop, booked a train ticket to Beijing, and returned to Beijing that night to ask Lao Xu.

Lao Xu is very famous in the Beijing antique circle, he is in his early fifties, but he looks very young and personable, divorced for the second time, but became a young woman killer, and the rich woman he knows around him rarely says that there is a reinforcement company. Lao Xu was an editor of a publishing house in his early years, a system unit, and he had plenty of spare time, coupled with the influence of his ancestors, he was good at literary play. He went into the water early, his eyes are poisonous, his mouth can talk, and he is full of books, and he has made a little fortune from antiques, the key is that he has great connections in the literary and entertainment circles, and the stringers beg him to palm, and the collectors who have the goods in their hands hope to borrow him to raise their value, and even those who touch the gold on the ground are stammered with his golden mouth and moved, and washed things into licensed goods. According to today's words, Lao Xu was a black-and-white character in the literary and entertainment industry at that time. But prosperity will decline, Lao Xu in the early nineties, let people calculate, walked back to the big eye, not only the savings were gone, but also the reputation plummeted. What is the specific, Lao Xu has never mentioned it, and few people know.

But since then, Lao Xu is very low-key, rarely interacting with insiders, in 94 years, a very background auction company in China was formed, and Lao Xu was invited out to be an art consultant, and I also met Lao Xu when he was at his lowest.

At the beginning of '96, when I graduated from college and interned at this auction company, how good was this company at that time? It said that this thing was real, and you said it was fake, and the next day there would be more than a dozen experts at your doorstep, carrying bricks and waiting to photograph you, until they photographed you as a street rat. In order to prevent being auctioned to death, I estimated that I would call it a auction company. Art auctions were still a novelty at that time, there were many good things, there were many real things, and there were many celebrities and big names in the preview. At that time, Lao Xu was idle, and he was responsible for training new employees and interns on lots. I'm from a professional class anyway, although I don't take classes in college, but I still see a lot of major museums across the country, compared to those who are stuffed in, my professional ability is not the same, and I have become a rare student who can do it from Lao Xu.

When I was an intern, I was just in time for the spring auction of A Auction Company, and there was a blue and white nine-dragon plate in the year of Chenghua at the preview, with a diameter of nearly one foot, and the colors and models were good. A Hong Kong collector caught my eye, in his fifties, with a Confucian merchant air in him. Because he has been walking around in front of the cabinet for three consecutive days, he seems to be very fond of Kowloon Pan, and it is estimated that he is a potential big auctioneer. According to what I saw at the time, I rushed up to praise the good goods, talk about history, and talk about inheritance. I remember that during the training, Lao Xu told me that there was an identical one in each of the Shoubo and the Guimet Museum, and that Guimet was still a little broken, and it is estimated that there are no more than five surviving. As soon as he first confessed to the Hong Kong people and showed off some goods, he was held down by the company's account director, and he had to tell people that according to his experience, the authenticity of this thing was doubtful. At that time, I didn't understand, how could I say that my things were not good? But the sincere face of the account director suddenly made me feel that I must be trying to get away with it, and the Hong Kong people kept nodding, saying I understand, I understand, and complimented A A a few words. This made me more and more convinced that there are also old brand stores in the cultural and entertainment industry. But the Hong Kong people still did not move in front of the showcase, and the account director's face began to turn blue, and he found the vice president of the company and kept muttering there.

Two days later, the day of the start of filming arrived, and from the first thing on stage, several consecutive new highs were recorded, making the scene full of joy. When it came to the blue and white plate, the climax came. Hong Kong people look confident, smiling and frequently holding up signs, while a dark skinned and fierce-looking fat man in the back row wipes the big gold watch on his wrist while holding it up. Soon, the price was raised to six million. Dajin was a little sweaty and began to make phone calls with big bricks, speaking very quickly. The auctioneer slowed down and waited for him. The audience is left with Hong Kong people and Dajin watch is still lifting, it is estimated that there are forty or fifty rounds of competition, Hong Kong people are still smiling calmly, everyone's eyes fall on Dajin watch, this invisible pressure makes his face deformed, he yelled, "Wait a minute", he took the brick phone, out of the auction hall. As soon as the Hong Kong people complained to the auctioneer, the account director rushed over, smiling, without the previous calmness, the Hong Kong people spread their hands, said I understand, and no longer deal with the account director. What is the situation? Can I stop leaving the auction during the auction? I saw Lao Xu standing next to my son, and just about to step forward to ask a few words, he smiled at me, and pressed his index finger to his lips, which seemed to mean waiting to see the excitement.

"Ten million", the big gold watch rushed back to the auction hall, "plus Lao Tzu will kill you", in one sentence, the whole audience was in an uproar, the quality was terrible, and it became an underworld transaction? Everyone looked at the big gold watch with contempt. The account director rushed back again, held down the big gold watch, and the two kept communicating, I said in my heart, this acting is high, the big gold watch will not be a beat, right, such a lifting method, Hong Kong people should not be, isn't it a big loss? "One and a half million", firm and rational, less than ten seconds, Hong Kong people shot again. "Fuck you", the brick phone made an elegant arc and flew to the front of the auction table, and the big gold watch was carried out by the security guards. There was applause, not only for the sky-high price of the day, but also for a rare farce. The auctioneer shook his head, dropped the hammer, and the account director pulled the Hong Kong customer out of the auction hall in a hurry.

I thought that the auction would be over at the end of the auction, but in the temporary office of the hotel rented by Auction A, I heard a fierce quarrel, and the Hong Kong guest was no longer calm just now, but roared like thunder, "I can't give up" "I will go to the international court to sue you" "There is no credit, you wait to go out of business" The boss of Auction A was also angry, "We persuaded you, but if you don't listen, it's your business" "In the mainland, you have to follow the rules of the mainland" "Don't think I don't know about those things of you, it's no good for everyone to shake it out" I wanted to go into the house and listen to it again by serving tea and pouring water, but I was kicked out by the angry account director, what the hell is going on?

The blue and white Kowloon plate ended with the seller's breach of contract, and the news was also blocked by a auction money, everything was as calm as ever, a few days later, my internship career ended, and before leaving, when chatting with Lao Xu, I probably understood the whole story. Lao Xu told me that behind the big gold watch was a Shanxi coal boss, and he gave a fake blue and white plate to a certain leader, and told the leader to find someone to arrange the auction after a period of time, and he would shoot it back for 500,000 yuan, and the leader's money would be legitimate and legitimate. But the problem is that the plate is too fake. If a shot puts it on the preview, it becomes a joke and smashes its own brand. A auction didn't want to lose the high handling fee, so he really borrowed a plate to participate in the exhibition, the exhibition is real, the auction is fake, a passing scene, the account director is responsible for persuading buyers who are interested in the plate. No matter how careful the plan is, there are accidents, the oil and salt of the Hong Kong customers are not soaked, the sky-high price of 10 million makes the coal boss completely collapse, and there is even competition for bribery. Jointly A auction, the handling fee was confiscated, and 2 million liquidated damages were posted.

Is the Hong Kong guest a big winner? Not necessarily, seeing that he later looked distressed and did not look like a pretend, you will never get what you like, and he was involved in a scam, what did 2 million mean to him? There is no winner in the Chenghua Jiulongpan incident, and if there is, it is me, because I have resolutely stayed away from this muddy water, and have maintained my physical and mental health for more than 20 years. Of course, Lao Xu is even smarter, he handed over a letter of resignation before the auction began, and said to him, "You like to play how you like, but don't want to play with my reputation, you don't serve" On the day of the love, Lao Xu was a person who watched the excitement. However, the joke of this auction history has become the fate of the two of us, and I must go to Lao Xu's house to string strings during the New Year's holidays, and my limited knowledge of literature and entertainment also comes from him. Later, I went to Duanmen to help build the stage, which was also the work of Lao Xutuo.
