Chapter 295 Dong Qichang "Before and After Chibi Fu"

............ "Lot - Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting master Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting "before and after the red cliff fu", the low price is 6 million, each increase shall not be less than 100,000, now is the start of the auction, all interested Tibetan friends please bid! ”

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the sound of the rising and falling signs and bidding continued to sound, and its momentum did not need to be the finale of the porcelain, the "Yongle official kiln heavy vessel", and the timing was "Zhu Fang's blue and white pen".

In less than a minute, the price of Dong Qichang's original book "Before and After Chibi Fu" exceeded 10 million, and it is still rising rapidly.

However, at this time, Liu Dong and Ma Lao, who really have the strength to eat this painting, are still in a wait-and-see state, and the people who are bidding now are just shouting lively.

"Fourteen and a half million! No. 38 Tibetan friends bid 14.5 million! "This price is close to the final auction price of the Yongle official kiln imitation, and by this time, there are not many bidders left.

"Xiaodong, are you still so calm?" After asking the bodyguards around him to quote a price of 14.8 million yuan, the old man looked at Liu Dong, who was still sitting with his arms crossed, as if he had no intention of participating in the auction, and asked in surprise.

It was the first time he had met such a calm and reserved young man.

When he was a child, strict family education and not wealthy family life, as well as the difficult experience of three years of wandering alone in society, gave Liu Dong a calm trait that is rare among young people today.

"Huh. In fact, if you don't say it, I'm ready to make a move! Saying that, Liu Dong held up the No. 24 bidding sign in his hand.

"Tibetan friends on the 24th bid 16 million 100,000. Is there anything higher? ”

After the auctioneer's words fell. The people in the hall who were still a little hesitant quickly dismissed the idea of bidding, and it was obvious that the price of 16.1 million was beyond their affordability.

"Xiaodong, I'm quitting, you kid must come on!"

After listening to Ma Lao's words, Liu Dong nodded, judging from the situation of the Zhu imitation Yongle official kiln in front of Guò, the price that the old man can offer for this authentic piece of Dong Qichang's calligraphy will not exceed fifteen million, plus a few more collections have been auctioned in front. Until now, the old man is even more shy, so after the price of "Before and After Chibi Fu" exceeded 16 million, the old man simply withdrew.

"Okay, Tibetan friend No. 38, bid 16.3 million! Is there anything higher? "Up to now, the price of more than 16 million has exceeded the market price of Dong Qichang's authentic paintings and calligraphy, so every time the price is raised, it is not as crazy as it was at the beginning, but a small increase of 100,200,000.

And in addition to the big man holding the No. 38 tag and wearing the same mask on his face. There are two other people who have not given up this rare pair of Dong Qichang's calligraphy, and one of them is naturally needless to say. It's Liu Dong. The last one is the guy who is still relatively active from the beginning to the present, and has photographed the 'Zhu Fang' Yongle official kiln.

"It seems that this person's strength is not weak!" Thinking silently in his heart, Liu Dong raised the sign in his hand, this time he did not increase by 100,200,000, but directly raised the price to a high price of 17 million.

"Tibetan friend No. 24 bid seventeen million, seventeen million, is there anything higher?" This has surpassed the previous Yongle official kiln to become the highest price in this auction, and it is no wonder that the auctioneer's voice is so high-pitched at this moment.

Although 17 million has suddenly increased by 700,000 compared with the previous one, it doesn't look like much, but there are two concepts of 999 and 1,000, for example, when many merchants sell goods, they should be 5,000, or even 5,000 or more goods, but the price is indeed 4,999, although it is less than 5,000, but it is only a dollar, but this dollar is two completely different states in consumer psychology.

This is the case at the moment of the auction, Liu Dong's price of 17 million is equivalent to raising the price of this authentic piece of Dong Qichang by a notch.

Therefore, the big man with the thirty-eight license plate gave up after communicating with the people around him.

And No. 9 clearly still doesn't want to give up like that. So he raised the sign in his hand again and added another hundred thousand.

However, before the auctioneer could shout, Liu Dong's No. 24 sign was raised again, and in order to dispel other people's competition, Liu Dong directly added 400,000.

"Tibetan friend No. 9...... Yes! Tibetan friends on the 24th bid again, 400,000! Now the price of this authentic piece of Dong Qichang is 17.5 million! ”

When this price was announced, it set off a slight wave among the surrounding collectors, and everyone looked back at the sky-high price. However, the mask on Liu Dong's face blocked everyone's prying eyes very well.

In the face of Liu Dong's determination to increase the price by 400,000 at once, it also made the No. 9 Tibetan friend completely give up the idea of competing with him.

Subsequently, this authentic piece of Dong Qichang's fine calligraphy "Chibi Fu Before and after" also fell into the hands of Liu Dong.

It wasn't until the auctioneer dropped the hammer three times that Liu Dong's heart really relaxed.

"This No. 9 will not be arranged by the auctioneer, why is he disrupting every valuable lot!" This guy has hurt Liu Dong from this auction to the present, which can allow him to buy a masterpiece of calligraphy and painting by a modern and modern master.

"Hehe, there is basically no seller's trust in the underground auction, if there is, then they are not happy!"

After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong thought about it for a while, and quickly understood.

The so-called underground auction naturally means that there is no light to see. Therefore, in order to avoid the police coming to the door, the location will be carefully arranged every time, and the invitees will also be prepared in advance, but these two items will take far more energy than the auction house on the ground.

Regular auction houses have 'trust', even if you make a mistake all of a sudden, the loss of things in your hands is not large, and you can continue to auction the next one, but the price may be lower. But underground auctions are different, they don't want a regular auction house, they can hold auctions on a regular basis, they can only seize the opportunity to release everything in their hands. Often, in a year, there are only two or three opportunities.

When Liu Dong was chatting with Mr. Ma, it was also time to auction jade, antiques and miscellaneous, just like last time, with Dong Qichang's authentic calligraphy and pearl jade in front, the auction at the beginning was also tepid. The price is naturally much lower than the market price, and in order to expand his collection and the collection of Agarwood Pavilion, Liu Dong also made a series of moves, and found more than 20 things that were not bad. Among them, the highest value is three rhino horn cups, a Ming Dynasty dragon pattern rhino horn cup, a Qing Dynasty immortal rhino horn cup, and the last Ming Dynasty dragon pattern rhino horn cup, a group of three, each of these ten years is millions of things, now the three together are only 150,000, and this is still the market price, Liu Dong's price is 80,000.

Because there are more than two hundred lots of antiques and miscellaneous items, many of which are auctioned in groups of two or three, or even groups of three or four, even if this is the time when the finale of the antiques and miscellaneous items comes up, nearly four hours have passed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this next lot is the finale of this auction and the last lot of this auction!" Speaking of which, the people in the audience who became drowsy because of staying up late were shocked, and hurriedly rubbed their faces to concentrate their spirits.

Even Ma Lao, who was next to him, woke up from his sleep under the reminder of the bodyguard, and it was obvious that more than three hours of sleep had also restored the old man's spirit a lot.

Looking at Liu Dong, who was in good spirits from beginning to end, the old man couldn't help but sigh that he was really old.

"Old man, you're not old at all, you're strong!"

In the face of Liu Dong's praise, Ma Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to comfort me, an old man, the way of life and death, the old man has already seen it, and you don't need to comfort him." Okay, let's continue to watch the final auction, and we won't be disappointed if we think of something that can be finalized! ”

After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong nodded, and then the two of them turned their eyes to the front desk.

"All the people present are celebrities in the antique collecting industry, and I believe that they are no strangers to bronzes, especially those of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, as well as the bronzes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!" As soon as they heard the bronze artifact, the eyes of everyone present lit up. Anyone who likes to collect is full of craving for this mysterious ritual of thousands of years of money. In addition, the things that can be used for the finale of this underground auction are not ordinary things.

"And the next bronze is a bronze tripod that represents royal power in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with a dragon pattern, three beast feet, and two sets of inscriptions with a total of 323 words......." The more the auctioneer spoke, the excited looks on the faces of the people below gradually disappeared. By the time the auctioneer said that the precious Cheng dù of this Dading was not inferior to the bronze Dading that was known as a national treasure, such as 'Da Ke Ding' and 'Mao Gong Ding', everyone below was already silent.

No one is stupid, and almost 100% of the bronzes that can be auctioned underground are stolen goods, and if they are ordinary bronzes, it is just that. But this bronze tripod that can be equated with a national treasure, if you really want to compare it to a national treasure like Dakeding as the auctioneer just said, then this bronze tripod as the finale is a real trouble, and it is also a big trouble. This is a matter of lawsuits.

Looking at the situation around him, the auctioneer smiled, obviously expecting this situation before. (To be continued......)
