Chapter 422: Private Tasting IV

As soon as Lao Man's words were finished, the surrounding discussions sounded, Professor Yang showed a meaningful expression, and Xia Li only smiled.

A bearded old man stood up and snorted and said, "Lao Man, you are not kind, you called us from afar and exchanged it for an object, isn't this a trick on us?

Lao Man laughed: "Hey, people who know me Lao Man know, I like to collect some incense burners There is a Xuande furnace to be auctioned in Xiangjiang next month, but the money in my hand is not in hand, the other three, I plan to be auctioned, if there is a friend to give the right price, it's not impossible!"

Lao Man is good at carving, very famous in the industry, the biggest preference is to collect all kinds of seals and incense burners, what eight treasure incense burners, copper incense burners, Xuande incense burners, big Xuande furnaces, all kinds, a lot of collections, I heard that there are already two Xuande furnaces.

What kind of furnace is Xuande furnace and why is it so famous, first of all, because of its material.

At that time, Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty was particularly fond of playing with incense burners, so he ordered a batch of red copper tribute from Siam (now Thailand), and the craftsmen designed and supervised the production of incense burners with reference to some historical records.

In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, the head of the craftsman reported that it was necessary to refine the copper at least five or six times, but once refined, the material was less, and after five or six times, the material was less than half, but Emperor Xuande was a very awesome gentleman, he could play, and he had a super sense of quality, he directly let the craftsman refine it twelve times!

The Xuande furnace itself is made with two points of color, and its color content, when burning incense, there is a sense of heaviness of a hundred years of history overflowing with the incense.

This is one thing, the key is that it is pitiful, originally made 3,000 incense burners, at that time each one was abnormal in atmosphere, and the treasure was shining.

One is Chongzhen minting money, Chongzhen is the last dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, internal and external troubles, the treasury has no money, so the Xuande furnace in the palace is collected and melted to cast money, and there is not much left.

Then Emperor Xianfeng minted money again, which was not less, and then during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the island people collected some in order to make bullets, and finally it was the Great Leap Forward steelmaking period, the whole people collected copper and iron, this time, the Xuande furnace was almost extinct, and the only ones that survived in the world were those that flowed overseas.

And Lao Man is obsessed with Xuande furnace, love to die or live, in order to collect Taoist treasures, he has hundreds of times to say that there are hundreds of times, and it is calculated in tens of millions.

Therefore, it is understandable that he is willing to put the collected 'gold wire' on the auction, after all, this is not the first time.

Xia Li couldn't help but feel a little moved, she didn't want anything else, just that Water Moon Guanyin really made her heartbeat, getting the Water Moon Guanyin was one thing, the most important point was that Xia Li wanted to ask Lao Man where he got this Water Moon Guanyin from.

But asking where the source is in the industry is taboo, Xia Li thought to herself, take a look first, and then think of a way to ask if you can buy it.

Before the auction began, Xia Li said to Professor Yang that she wanted to auction the Water Moon Guanyin, and Professor Yang raised her eyebrows and said, "What, do you like it very much?"

Xia Li sighed and said, "I have seen the mark under that Guanyin statue before, it is an item collected by an elder, so I thought about taking it back and giving it to the elder!"

Professor Yang nodded, and said curiously, "What kind of object is in your elder's hand?"

Xia Li smiled and said, "It's a mutton fat jade carved water bird!" Xia Li got a water bird not long after she came, and the water bird had the seal on the soles of its feet, but the water bird was collected from the pawnshop at home in her previous life, and was later used by her stepmother for her younger brother to play.

According to the law of Huaxia, bronzes cannot be traded, unless there is a legal inflow certificate, and the Siyang Fangzun has it, which is a foreign collection, and it is bought by Lao Man, so there are people who like bronzes can buy it for collection.

Because of the good quality of the "Golden Wire", if it is auctioned, it does not count the handling fee, at least about 10 million, deducting service fees and taxes, it is at most more than 8 million, so it was finally sold for 8.5 million and was bought by a middle-aged man.

Siyang Fangzun was won by the old man who spoke at the beginning at a price of four million, and finally arrived at Shuiyue Guanyin, with a starting price of 500,000 yuan, and each price increase must not be less than 50,000 yuan.

Xia Li stood up directly and shouted two million, Professor Yang on the side was directly stunned on the spot, and the people around him were also stunned, no one made a sound for a long time, and finally Xia Li reminded: "Uncle Bian, since the big guys are letting the girl, you can always hammer!" Xia Li said a clever thing, Professor Yang saw this and hurriedly said: "Lao Man, it's time!"

Lao Man knocked the hammer a little helplessly when he saw this, and the deal was sold!

When he was waiting to get something, Professor Yang couldn't help but smile and shook his head and said: "You girl, you don't see it, it's still an old Jianghu, if you let people shout 55,000, it will definitely be more than 2 million!" This girl is also really bold, as soon as she came up, she called 2 million and stunned the field, and didn't give people a chance to react, she felt that 2 million was a bit too much, in fact, if you think about it carefully, if you add it a little bit, it will definitely cost more than 2 million.

However, Xia Li's girl is also kind, two million is not low, which is also the reason why Lao Man hammered.

When the things are in hand, there is another exchange meeting here, that is, each holding their own baby and standing in a position, waiting for someone they like to come to the door, talking, selling what they are willing to sell, changing what they are willing to change, and chatting about pure chat.

Xia Li saw Professor Yang take it out and put out a box of ancient jade, Xia Li stood aside with his wooden box and whispered something, Lao Yang frowned when he heard it.

Seeing this, Xia Li hurriedly said: "Teacher, I know, I am too abrupt like this, but the mark with it has a special meaning to my elder, and it may have something to do with her family, so I want to know where this Guanyin came from and see if I can collect similar objects!"

Professor Yang's brows relaxed, and he glared at Xia Li with disgust, this kid is a clever person, thinking that he won't make such an obvious mistake, it turns out that there is a reason, so he nodded and said: "Okay, when it's over, I'll take you to talk to Lao Man, if Lao Man is willing to tell you, that's good, if people don't want to, don't blame the teacher for not helping you!"

Xia Li nodded hurriedly and agreed, this is already very good!
