Chapter 53: Ten Billion Levels
"Shameless people, dare to fool everyone with fakes, what kind of auction do you want? Is it really bullying me that there is no one in the Chinese calligraphy world? "Ping An Post" was purchased by the old man six years ago, and now he is in the old man's home, you tell me, where did your "Ping An Post" come from?" Gu Yun asked Li Feng sharply, he is not only a calligraphy collector, but also an art master, and he loves the works of the sage Wang Xizhi, so he will never allow anyone to use fakes to tarnish the reputation of the sage.

Li Feng didn't care, he had seen a lot of this kind of old-fashioned and short-tempered old man, and just smiled lightly: "Can the seniors be a little restless and take a look at the works auctioned by the juniors?
"Hmph!" Gu Yun snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the appraisal table, at this moment, there were several calligraphy appraisal masters around the appraisal table.
"Go away for the old man!" Gu Yun was grumpy and snorted, as a calligraphy collector, his eyesight was so high and his identification was so accurate that there was almost no one in the world to compare.
When several calligraphy appraisal masters saw Gu Yun coming, they hugged their fists and left, but none of them were dissatisfied.
When Gu Yun saw the "Peace Post" on the appraisal table, he suddenly let out a shock, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and carefully identified it.
Ten minutes later, Gu Yun suddenly stood up, turned his head and glanced at Li Feng with a puzzled face, and then lowered his head again to continue to identify, but he shook his head for a while, and nodded again, as if he had encountered a very confused thing.
The auction scene was extremely quiet, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Gu Yun's appraisal results.
Another ten minutes passed, and Gu Yun finally stood up, still with a puzzled look on his face.
"Senior, how is it?" Li Feng said with a smile, he had a bottom in his heart, and he was naturally not afraid of any doubts.
Gu Yun pondered for a moment and said, "There are a few points that I am very confused about, I don't know if you can explain a thing or two, little brother?" Gu Yun said this very politely, and he had long since lost his angry appearance just now.
"Senior, please speak. ”
"First, this "Peace Post" is indeed the authentic work of the sage Wang Xizhi. Whether it is the age of the ink or the paper, it is completely consistent, it belongs to the era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty calligraphy, and the seal stamped below is also the seal of Wang Xizhi. ”
As soon as Gu Yun said this, the entire auction scene suddenly exploded again, and soon it became a buzz, Su Xiaoling, who was sitting under the auction, finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, she was too nervous just now, she knew that this was Wang Xizhi's true work, but she was afraid that the world would not see it, if this was the case, wouldn't Li Feng be wrongfully killed?
Moments later, the auctioneer smashed the timpani, and the scene was quiet again.
Li Feng smiled and said, "Then what's the confusion of the seniors?"
Gu Yun said: "This "Peace Post" is indeed genuine, but the one in my collection is not a fake, how can this be explained?"
"Huh. Li Feng smiled and said: "It's not a secret, this "Peace Post" of the younger generation is from the original handwriting of the Shusheng himself, but the predecessor's copy is a copy of the ancient Tang Dynasty, could it be that the predecessor has forgotten?"
"That's good!" Gu Yun's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said, "The one in my collection is indeed a copy of the ancient essence of the Tang Dynasty! The authentic work of the sage has been lost, so all that remains in the world are the ancient fine copies, and the old man almost forgot it." ”
Li Feng nodded, but stopped speaking.
After a while, Gu Yun suddenly said: "Little brother's "Peace Post", the old man is willing to pay 3 billion to buy it, I don't know what to do?"
"3 billion!"
"Oh my God!"
"Ancient, is this crazy?"
Once again, the auction floor was in chaos.
Li Feng shook his head, these calligraphy saint ink treasures seem to be easy to obtain, but Li Feng has spent a lot of thought, and for this auction, he specially went to Lu Dongbin once, and asked him to use the technique of time reversal to freeze these ink treasures in the era of Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, otherwise connoisseurs can determine whether they are fakes when they look at the age of ink and paper.
"5 billion!" Gu Yun raised the price again.
Li Feng shook his head again, but this time he smiled and said: "A copy of the ancient fine copy of "Peace Post" in the Tang Dynasty is already worth more than 300 million, not to mention that this one of mine is the true work of the sage?"
"And how much do you want?"
"If you are interested, you might as well participate in the bidding. ”
"Okay!" Gu Yun nodded helplessly, and after secretly scolding Li Feng in his heart, he said "shrewd little fox", then turned around and returned to the seat below.
The auction process returned to normal, and since Gu Yun finished appraisal, he bid another 5 billion, and since then no one doubts the authenticity of Li Feng's work, and then the auctioneer began to auction "Peace Post".
"The starting price is 8 billion RMB!"
"Two hundred bidders bid 8.5 billion!"
"Bidder No. 23 bids 9 billion!"
"Bidder No. 86 bids 10 billion!"
"Bidder No. 698 bids 13 billion!"
……
In less than ten minutes, the price of "Ping An Post" has soared to 24.4 billion, and it is Gu Yun who bid 24.4 billion.
After a few more minutes, the auction price of "Ping An Tiao" was set at 29.3 billion RMB, and it was bought by an unknown collector.
Seeing Gu Yun sighing and looking annoyed, Li Feng really wanted to laugh, but then the second calligraphy auctioned by the auctioneer made Gu Yun hope again.
The second calligraphy work auctioned by the auctioneer is Wang Xizhi's "Funeral Post", which is more valuable than the "Peace Post" just now. The only surviving copy of an ancient copy of the Tang Dynasty is not in China. It was transferred to RB during the reign of Emperor Shomu of RB, and is now housed in the Sannomaru Shozo Museum of the RB Imperial Household Agency. Therefore, for calligraphy collectors in Huaxia, no amount of money can buy this calligraphy.
In the end, the auction price of this "Funeral Post" was fixed at 58 billion RMB, and the person who bought the "Funeral Post" was Gu Yun.
The auction of "Funeral Post" reached the peak of the auction, and the people in the entire auction hall were a little crazy, and dozens of bidders were directly in units of 1 billion, and each price increase was an integer multiple of 1 billion or 1 billion. Gu Yun can become the first calligraphy collector in Huaxia, and the financial resources behind him are naturally shocking, the Gu Consortium is the first of the top ten super consortiums in China, and the wealth accumulated by his family is unimaginable.
After the auction of "Funeral Post", the auctioneer then began to auction "Seventeen Posts", "Early Moon Post", "Autumn Moon Post" and "Duyue Post", as well as the regular script "Huang Tingjing". These calligraphy works are all authentic works of the sage Wang Xizhi, not some ancient fine copies.
The final auction results were 29.3 billion RMB for "Ping An Post", 58 billion RMB for "Funeral Post", 12 billion RMB for "Seventeen Post", 18.5 billion RMB for "Early Moon Post", 20.7 billion RMB for "Autumn Moon Post", 26.6 billion RMB for "Duyue Post", and 38.6 billion RMB for "Huang Tingjing", totaling 203.7 billion RMB, excluding 10% commission, Li Feng received 183.33 billion RMB.
Nearly 180 billion huge income, this is what Li Feng didn't expect before, according to his estimate, it is only tens of billions at most, but he didn't expect that there would be so many. However, Li Feng also kept an eye on it, he didn't take out the "Lanting Collection Preface" at all, and he didn't have the heart to auction it, once this calligraphy appeared, the whole world would go crazy, not only the calligraphy world.
