Chapter 181: Net worth easily doubled
The auctioneer was also very excited, the start was a good one, and it was not in vain that he painstakingly took this rare three-hole cloth coin as the first pioneer!
"Three million, three million! What an exciting number! Unexpectedly, in less than five minutes, everyone's enthusiasm pushed this three-hole cloth coin to such a height! I'm afraid, it has already set a new record for the auction price of ancient Chinese coins!" The auctioneer looked excited, of course, whether it was pretended or deliberately exaggerated the atmosphere, it was unknown, only to hear his subdued voice continue, "Three million for the first time, three million for the second time! Is there a higher price?"
Immediately, someone shouted, "Three million and one million!"
The auctioneer was even more excited: "Three million and one million, with a higher bid,...... Okay, someone is holding up a card again, that's 3.3 million? Let's wait and see, who will end up with this treasure?"
"Three million three hundred and sixty thousand!" another bidder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Who will have the luck to possess this extremely precious piece" The auctioneer did not finish speaking, and was interrupted again by a bidding, and the other party offered 3.45 million!
ā¦ā¦
After the auctioneer's incessant rendering of the atmosphere and setting off the price, in the end, Xu Zhuo's three-hole cloth coin was pushed to a high price of 3.98 million yuan!
"Three ,980,000 for the first time! 3,980,000 for the second time...... Is there a higher price?...... Is there a higher bid? If not, we are going to fall the hammer!" Seeing that there was no one to bid, the auctioneer finally slammed the hammer on the table, "Three million nine hundred and eighty thousand for the third time! Congratulations to the gentleman over there for obtaining such a precious three-hole cloth coin from the late Warring States period!"
At the same time, Huang Bingfu was also congratulating Xu Zhuo, and gave Xu Zhuo a thumbs up, this hammer price was actually a bit unexpected by Huang Bingfu, last time, Xu Zhuo took this three-hole cloth money, Huang Bingfu estimated that it was two million, but Xu Zhuo had no intention of making a move, he was still a little disapproving, and felt that the price he gave was quite fair, who knows, this auction actually set a new record.
Even if the auctioneer's commission fee is reduced by 10 percent, Xu Zhuo will still have more than 3.5 million yuan! Isn't this a good start for Xu Zhuo? But it is more than one-third of all his current assets!
As for Gao Meng, he has been so beaten that he didn't speak the whole time. Xu Zhuo is not only so good at kung fu, but also so rich, just this one thing, seven or eight times richer than him, he simply sat quietly and obediently watched the excitement. Moreover, Gao Meng felt that Huang Bingfu and Xu Zhuo's master Liu Qingquan didn't pay much attention to him, even if he spoke, he couldn't interject anything, and it was very boring to be with such two old men.
The next day, the newspaper reported on the auction, focusing on the three-hole cloth coin, accompanied by a clear picture, the original owner of the antique market, that is, the stall owner who sold Xu Zhuo a large pile of three-hole cloth money, saw it, and suddenly reacted, isn't this the three-hole cloth money he inadvertently picked up in one place? At that time, I thought it was fake, because there were too many such things on the market, and the place where the goods were purchased at that time was piled up everywhere, so I threw it together with a bunch of imitations that came in.
"Once, these millions were in my hands, but I treated them as garbage, passing by, it was really a sin, it was still violated, it was a sin, and it was not allowed to live!" The stall owner looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle and lamented, so that for most of the next day, he did not do business, and he felt that he was selling millions of things. In the end, he was a little reluctant to give up, and spent a lot of money to take all his objects to the appraisal center for identification, but unfortunately, none of them were genuine, all of them were fakes, all of them were fakes, all of them were fakes! In this case, he will not lose. But not long after, he was heartbroken again, doubting that it was true, in short, entangled between gains and losses.
Of course, this is all for later, so I won't show it for the time being.
Let's say that at the auction, after Xu Zhuo's three-hole cloth money run, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and several things were sold, and the prices were expensive, but none of them broke the record.
After passing through more than ten lots, Xu Zhuo's eyes lit up, because he saw another item of his own, that is, the brass crane incense burner.
"Before introducing this crane incense burner, I think it is very necessary to mention the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty!" the auctioneer took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and began to talk.
The Xuande furnace was the first bronze ware made of brass in Chinese history. In order to make a high-quality copper furnace, Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty personally supervised it, which is rare in history. In addition to copper, there are precious materials such as gold and silver added, so the furnace is particularly delicate, dark purple or black-brown. Generally, the furnace material has to go through four refining, while the Xuande furnace has to go through twelve refining, so the furnace quality will be more pure, such as baby skin.
The most wonderful thing about Xuande furnace is the color, its color melts inside, and it shines from the gloom. There are more than 40 kinds of colors recorded in historical records, which are loved by the world, and there are many names for their colors. For example, the purple with blue and black like the eggplant skin is called the eggplant skin color; the black and yellow like the Tibetan scripture paper is called the Tibetan scripture color; the black and white with red and light yellow is called brown; the soil with the old jade is called the soil color; the white and yellow with the red color like the Tang pear is called the Tang pear color, and the yellow-red ground with the colorful spots is called the imitation Song burnt spot color; the spots that are more bright red than the pearl sand are called vermilion spots; the light pig liver color, jujube red, amber color, tea powder, crab shell green, and so on...... Xiang Yuanbian (Zijing), a great connoisseur, collector and painter during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, said: "The wonder of the Xuan furnace is pearlescent in the treasure color, and it is surging on the outside. ā
Xu Zhuo's bronze, the most wonderful thing is its color, for Tang pear, just this color, and the Ming Dynasty Xuande furnace is almost exactly the same, the later generations of old, imitation, can not achieve this effect, is considered to be with the Xuande furnace out of the oven, quite precious.
In the end, the collection was auctioned off by a high-roller from Treasure Island for a high price of 5.16 million yuan. That is to say, Xu Zhuo alone has more than 8 million yuan in income from these two things. Combined with Xu Zhuo's existing assets, it is 167 million.
This kind of asset, Huang Bingfu, an invisible rich man, naturally doesn't think much of it, and still doesn't care about it, but Liu Qingquan is quite moved, but he is an old man and open-minded, and he quickly returned to normal, only Gao Meng, on the side, silently calculated in his heart, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time. Now, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with Xu Zhuo in ten years! Before, he said that he would ask Xu Zhuo to help him work part-time, but now that he thinks about it, it's just a joke!
