Chapter 80: "It's Fair Play"
There were only about 100 seats in the auction hall, and there were a few familiar faces in the people who came. After greeting each other, they sat down. Zuo Lianci glanced at the booklet issued by the auction company, which had some of today's auction items. When I saw the last page, I was attracted by a Langyao red Guanyin bottle.
She was looking for a Jun porcelain or Lang kiln red vase to put in the room, and the few good Kangxi Lang kiln red imitations that she had seen on the market before had white star spots on the glaze, and she couldn't stand this kind of flaw, which looked pretty good on the picture. But if it is really produced by Kangxi Lang kiln, the price should be very high, but it is worth a try.
After a few more people came, the auction officially began. Zuo Lian didn't have much interest in other auction items, and it wasn't until Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting works came out that she raised her spirit. When the staff brought the calligraphy and paintings to the guest seats, many people shook their heads and expressed regret.
This calligraphy and painting is relatively badly damaged, and many places are incomplete. But it is indeed the authentic work of Zheng Banqiao.
Tong Junqiang's eyes were quite disappointed, he dared to take out such a thing for auction! glanced at Zuo Lian porcelain next to him, and wanted to tell her forget it, but it was so damaged that there was no way to repair it. But he still couldn't help but be disappointed, he had been looking for the authentic works of Zheng Banqiao for a long time, which was of great use to him!
She also wanted to persuade him to give up this calligraphy and painting, which is certainly a treasure for those who really like Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting, but it is not collectible for ordinary collectors. Seeing the other party's disappointed expression, she hesitated again. She doesn't have much time lately, but she should be able to spare a little time when she's done with the game.
So he whispered a few words to Tong Junqiang. His eyes lit up.
"Can you?"
"No problem, but when I have time, you know I don't have much time lately. ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry!" He didn't know why he believed the little girl's words so much, maybe her tone was too light
Because the painting was so damaged, only a few people raised their cards twice and then refused to raise the price online. In the end, he auctioned this painting and calligraphy at a price close to the reserve price, and everyone else laughed and said nothing, and the meaning in his eyes was not too obvious - this painting and calligraphy was not worth this price at all, fool!
Tong Junqiang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, if this was repaired, the price would really be about the same as picking it up for nothing.
There is nothing new in the middle of the collection, and Zuo Lian porcelain is only waiting for the last auction item to come out.
"Today's last auction item, Kangxi Lang Kiln Red Guanyin Vase, has a starting price of 200,000 yuan. ”
The staff in black uniforms and white gloves carefully held the vase to the guest seats, the glaze was smooth and translucent and had a glass texture, and the glaze was clear and rich, as dazzling as a ruby!
Bright as a mirror, moist as jade, red as blood.
Sure enough, it was an almost perfect imitation.
The corners of Zuo Lian's mouth hooked slightly, and his interest in it had decreased a little. Still, she wanted one of these vases right now.
"This vase is so beautiful. Zuo Lianci heard a familiar female voice coming from not far behind him. But he did not seek prestige.
"Want to?" a familiar male voice, low and casual.
The woman smiled and said in a whispering voice, "I want to receive a gift." The man was noncommittal and chuckled.
Tong Junqiang saw her eyes staring at the Guanyin bottle, leaned over and asked, "Do you like that bottle?" ”
"No, it's not bad for the bottle. If you refuse, you blurt it out without thinking about it. She doesn't like to accept valuables from others for no reason.
Tong Junqiang's eyes flashed, and he could see that what she said was completely sincere. He also heard the conversation between the two people just now, and most of the women he knew were the same as that woman, and they took advantage of the cheap delivery to the door by the way.
"The reserve price is 200,000 yuan, and I started to raise cards. ”
Zuo Lian Porcelain heard the sound of the small hammer, smiled slightly, and raised the card.
"Five hundred thousand. ”
Tong Junqiang's heart shook suddenly, looked over suspiciously, leaned into her ear and said, "Don't raise the price to such a high price at the beginning." ”
Zuo Lian ignored it, and immediately raised the sign "800,000" after hearing someone shouting "550,000".
Boom! There was an uproar in the audience.
Who's released the child, it's too special to lose! Raise a card is 300,000!
"800,000 once! 800,000 twice!" The host knocked on the hammer and asked, "Is there any more price increase?"
"One and a half million. The crowd looked towards the source of the sound. Someone who knew him cast a look of understanding.
"Ling Shao spent a lot of money for a red face. Someone sighed.
"Two million. Zuo Lian porcelain raised the card again. That's almost half of the money in her private coffers.
There was another uproar.
Tong Junqiang glared at Ling Xiaochen behind him, girl, you dare to raise your card again!
Ling Xiaochen was not afraid of his eyes, and raised an eyebrow at him. Slowly raise the number plate in your hand. "Two and a half million!"
"Three million. After the other party shouted the price, Zuo Lian porcelain immediately followed and increased the price once!
No one else raised their cards anymore, and their eyes wandered between the two of them.
"Three million once, three million twice, three million"
"Three and a half million!" Seeing that Ling Xiaochen didn't make a sound, Lin Tongyun next to him immediately raised the sign in his hand. She wasn't interested in antiques, but she loved the vase at first sight. What's more, she has no way to watch this vase belong to Zuo Lian porcelain.
"Four and a half million!" is obviously not loud, but also carries the clear spirit of a girl, which makes people feel that this is an ignorant little girl. And the whole time, she didn't even glance at the person who was bidding with her!
Lin Tongyun paused, and after hearing the host's two hammer sounds, he shouted "five million".
Zuo Lian Porcelain's eyes suddenly widened and he glanced back. Facing Lin Tongyun with a provocative look. She stuck out her tongue at Lin Tongyun, looking very weird. No more signs.
"Five million once, five million twice, five million three times!" Three small hammer sounds, and this beautiful vase is considered to have recognized the new owner.
Tong Junqiang almost looked at Ling Xiaochen with an angry gaze. How much do people like this bottle, you are so dismantled! But have you been rejected a few times!
"It's okay, little porcelain, brother will buy you one next time I see this kind of bottle. What a big deal. ”
Zuo Lian Porcelain smiled gratefully and whispered: "It's okay, I don't like this vase much." "It's almost perfect, that is, there are still flaws. Looking closer, the tire quality of this vase is not very tight, and the glaze of the mouth of the bottle is slightly different from the glaze of the bottom of the bottle. Of course, only those who are particularly knowledgeable about porcelain can see this subtle difference.
Tong Junqiang thought that her smile was very reluctant with a strong subjective consciousness. So he made a disdainful gesture towards Ling Xiaochen indignantly.
The auction ended, and the crowd dispersed. The four of them walked out together.
Lin Tongyun's face was not worried, and he said coldly: "Brother Qiang, this is fair competition." ”
Zuo Lian Porcelain was not angry, and his smile was like smoke: "Congratulations to Miss Lin for getting this baby." This is a good baby. ”
No matter how Lin Tongyun looked at it, he felt that this smile was ill-intentioned. She sneered and said softly, "Xiao Zuo, don't be angry, I just like this vase too much." The tone is quite a bit like left-hand love porcelain can't afford to lose.
"Miss Lin, don't be polite, this baby was originally taken by you, and it should be yours. Zuo Lian porcelain rubbed his eyes: "But you must polish your eyes before you raise the card next time." ”
Lin Tongyun's face froze: "What do you mean?"
Kangxi Lang kiln red things are rare and expensive, and people who know how to see that the price of imitation products is as high as 500,000, and there are not many people who increase the price of more than 500,000. She originally wanted to buy a general for 3 million, after all, the original product is too rare, and such an imitation is quite acceptable. If you spend 5 million, the price of "will" is too high to be cost-effective.
Zuo Lianci didn't answer her words, but just said goodbye to her with a smile: "Goodbye, Miss Lin." ”
