Chapter 583: Three Paintings and Calligraphy Worth 60 Million
Reaching the high price of 20 million, it did not deter this group of small islanders, they frowned and thought, not hesitating, but thinking about what rare antiques they could get their hands on.
If this three-legged golden black jade pendant is just ordinary, then they will never be fanatical to this extent, but the key is that the three-legged golden crow formed by this piece of Loulan desert jade is lifelike, the transparent and lushy jade, the beautiful color of red like a flame, and the mysterious atmosphere, the natural formation of auspicious cloud back lines.
All of this has made this three-legged gold jade pendant no longer ordinary, but has become an existence full of majesty, mystery, and can be looked up to.
As the auctioneer above said, this is no longer a jade pendant, but an honor, which will only belong to one person.
Chinese antiques, they are not lacking, it can be said that they are dispensable, these antiques will not bring them a strong fame, this jade pendant is different, the three-legged golden crow like the appearance of the Amaterasu messenger, can definitely get the fame of the people who get this jade pendant, elevate it to a terrifying status.
Regardless of honor, the jade quality of this piece of Loulan desert jade alone is enough to reach the current price, but if it is honor, they no longer care about the gains and losses in the price, just to get it.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Banqiao's two bamboo paintings, each of which was appraised at a price of 8 million, the small island man took out other antiques, the total value of which was as high as 25 million, and once again set off a new ** in the auction venue.
The appearance of many Chinese antiques has also feasted the eyes of these small island country experts, who may not be very proficient in some places for their own cultural relics, but they are very familiar with Chinese cultural relics.
There is such a sentence, which completely explains the current situation, to study the history of China, please go to the small island country, just because the small island country preserves a large number of ancient Chinese buildings, as well as cultural relics and ancient books, the number of which is so large that it is difficult to calculate.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China experienced several wars that humiliated the country, and the outside world had the impression that the main place for the loss of Chinese cultural relics was in Europe and the United States.
In fact, this is not the case, and the largest overseas loss of Chinese cultural relics is in a small island country far away from China.
During the war of aggression against China, the small island nation specially organized a huge search team for cultural relics to bring all the precious cultural relics found back to the small island country, and smashed those that could not be brought back on the spot.
Small island countries, large and small, have more than 2 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics in museums, and those lost in the hands of the people of small island countries are probably no less than this number.
Gradually, the value of the antiques that these small island people participated in the auction reached 30 million, 30 million, buying a jade pendant, which is simply an incredible thing for ordinary people.
Even if you go to buy the best jadeite, glass jadeite, you can buy several times the volume of this jade pendant.
By now, all the people of the small island nation are hesitating, and the price has become slower, as if they are wondering whether it is worth exchanging such a valuable antique for an honor.
The small island people are the most psychologically complex and changeable people in the world, after they make a decision, they will change their decisions regardless of the ridicule of others, look at the island dispute with Huaxia over the years, once Huaxia is hard, they will directly soften.
It wouldn't have been such a difficult decision for them to abandon the auction.
"Xiaoyou, what kind of price do you think this jade pendant will reach in the end, the valuation of these antiques is far lower than the real price." Dong Qilin said with a calm smile, his admiration for Fang You in his heart could not be expressed in words, he was very glad that he had made the decision at the beginning, and only by following Fang You could he realize his dream and be able to see so many precious antiques and various miracles.
Fang You, who was closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, smiled slightly and slowly opened his eyes, "Brother Dong, I don't know what kind of price it will reach, but now, this price will not be final, and it will not satisfy me, I will not be soft-hearted at all when I squeeze these things that belong to us in the hands of the people of the small island country." ”
"Brother Dong, tell the auctioneer that I am not satisfied with the current price, if this is the case, I will only bring the jade pendant back to Huaxia for auction." Then, Fang You said calmly.
Dong Qilin nodded, and through the headset, he told the auctioneer what Fang You had just said, after seeing so many exquisite Chinese cultural relics, they had no scruples about bidding on them, and his heart was also very heavy, so he naturally had no good impression of these small island people.
As Tongfang You said, how can they be soft-hearted when they take back what originally belonged to them from these people, and the current situation is that they are not afraid that these small island people will not participate in the auction, this unique three-legged golden Wuloulan Moyu, take back the Longyou Auction House, as the treasure of the town, can still cause a sensation.
The auctioneer nodded slightly towards Dong Qilin's location, and then said with a solemn face: "Everyone, your current price cannot satisfy the owner of the jade pendant, and when no one bids, he will announce that the transaction has failed, and this jade pendant will also be brought back to Huaxia, maybe in the auction in Huaxia, this sacred bird that symbolizes the messenger of the Amaterasu God of the small island country, its transaction price may far exceed the price you offered, okay, this friend's three antiques, estimated at 30 million, and friends who have not bid, If not......"
The auctioneer's words could not help but plunge the scene into a commotion, the people of Kojima are undoubtedly a race of people with strong self-esteem, they worship the spirit of bushido, and after doing irreparably wrong things, they will choose to commit suicide by seppuku to save the last bit of dignity for themselves.
Now, this piece of jade pendant, which is called the messenger of Amaterasu by most people, if it is really brought back to China in front of their own people, then how will they face the many people of the small island country in the future, if they are known by others, they participated in the auction, and failed to leave the messenger of Amaterasu in the small island country, then what awaits them will be wordless ridicule.
"I have a piece of Mi Fu calligraphy, one of the four Chinese Song families." Before the auctioneer finished speaking, a middle-aged man from a small island wearing a simple robe raised his number plate, his face was full of anger, he must auction this jade pendant, let the Chinese people see, their small island people's honor is inviolable.
Suddenly several experts were shocked to study the information and pictures that the middle-aged man took up, Mi Fu was one of the four major calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, and the other three were Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Cai Xiang.
Mi Fu's calligraphy is listed after the Song Dynasty four Su Huang, but if you ignore the status of Su Dongpo's generation of Wenzong and Huang Tingjian's influence as the leader of the Jiangxi poetry school, but as far as calligraphy is concerned, Mi Fu's traditional skills are the deepest.
Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty said, "I tried to comment on the rice word, thinking that the Song Dynasty was the first, after all, it came from the east slope." This shows the depth of Mi Fu's book power.
His personality is weird, his behavior is crazy, he loves mountains and rocks, and he often meets stones and is called "brother", so he has another name, which is Mi Dian.
Fang You gently came behind President Yamada, leaned over and looked at the table, for Mi Fu this person, he has a good impression, that eclectic, do not care about other people's eyes, worship the character of the stone as a brother, really let him have the feeling of meeting a confidant.
The first acquaintance with Mi Fu is when the Venus dragon inkstone was found, this side of the Venus dragon inkstone left a font, which in addition to Mi Fu's font size, and even the name of Su Dongpo, the rest of the handwriting illustrates this Venus dragon inkstone, is the two of them jointly named for it, not to mention that the Venus dragon inkstone when a little bit of Venus shaking magic, just say that the handwriting left by Mi Fu can also make this inkstone become a priceless treasure.
Mi Fu often called his works a collection of ancient words, meaning that the ancient calligraphy master of the pen, chapter and rhyme have a deep understanding, his word is a collection of ancient calligraphy everyone's pen force.
Although some people take this as a laughing stock, but Mi Fu finally set up ancient characters for calligraphy, it can prove that its collection of ancient words is a great success, his words have a lot of special penmanship, some words from Yan Zhenqing's line of calligraphy, some words imitate Ouyang Xun...... It can be said that before him, the handwriting of several ancient calligraphers could be felt from his pen.
Although it is only a picture, Fang You can vaguely feel the extraordinary of these fonts from the handwriting, which can make people have a sense of appreciation more than the cursive works of one of the three traces of the small island country.
In the end, this Mi Fu calligraphy work was priced at 31 million, after the auctioneer's continuous teasing, the next second the price of this calligraphy was announced, it was surpassed by others.
In the splendid history and culture of China, its value can reach more than 10 million antiques, too many, these antiques, all of which are masterpieces, representing the great elements of all aspects of China.
The gloating smile on Takebe Siren's face deepened, 30 million, continue to add it, let you also know that the tens of millions of things you have bought, but when you go back, it is fake, and that feeling can make people go crazy.
"I have a ...... from the Chinese Song Dynasty"
"I'm out ......"
The auctioneer's words just now made them almost extremely crazy, on the one hand, in order to get this jade pendant, and more importantly, they couldn't let this jade pendant be brought back to Huaxia by that Chinese person, it was simply a shame for them, a hundred people, not even a piece of jade pendant, can't keep it.
The price has risen rapidly from 30 million just now, and everyone doesn't know where the satisfactory price of the Huaxia person is, and even if they know, they can't stop, because they are completely caught in the battle for this jade pendant at this time.
For the sake of the honor of the small island nation, they have nothing to scruple about.
Takebe Shiren smiled, if he used money, he might not be able to mobilize so much money in an instant, but antiques, their Takebe family could be the main battle faction during World War II, and they have been supporting the emperor and the army's various supplies, otherwise, after the war, their family would not have such a huge business.
During the war, in addition to the government of the small island country at the time, as well as several other major families, their Takebe family can be regarded as the existence of the most robbed cultural relics, for this reason, they did not hesitate to build several large ships to transport these precious cultural relics.
Take out a few antiques for something, there is still no problem, but he will not swim up, this is obviously a scam, although the jade pendant above, now it seems to be real, but after that, the result will be different, the wool I bought, it doesn't look like a big rise, but buy it back, but it is so collapsed that even my own mother is almost unrecognizable.
The price reached 50 million, at this time, some people can no longer take out an antique to participate in the auction, the value of 50 million antiques, that is undoubtedly an extremely precious object, it can be said that the whole world, there are not many, is already a national treasure level of cultural relics.
Most of them took out two or three antiques, and the largest one actually added ten antiques from the beginning to the present, each worth about five million.
This antique is the focus of attention in any auction, but in this auction, it is constantly becoming a stepping stone for others, and even a jade pendant cannot be exchanged for it.
"Fifty-five million, do any friends bid higher, if no one bids, then I will ask this price and the items you have made, whether the owner of the jade pendant can be satisfied, if he is not satisfied, this lot will end in a failed transaction, this jade pendant, will also leave the small island country, return to Huaxia ......" After reaching 50 million, everyone's bidding became slow, plus the time taken to identify the items, the interval between bids, almost reached twenty minutes, Let the atmosphere of the scene become extremely solemn.
Before Mi Fu calligraphy bidding jade pendant of the small island country middle-aged people closed their eyes thinking about something, heard the auctioneer's words, he suddenly opened his eyes, yelled as if said: "In addition to Mi Fu's calligraphy and Qiu Ying's paintings, I add a landscape painting of the Bada Shanren." ”
Mi Fu's calligraphy, estimated at 31 million, Qiu Ying's painting, not perfectly preserved, its estimate of 8 million, he was determined to fight, must get this piece of jade pendant, this is the only honor, belongs to him Kitano Qin Shou.
Fang You looked in the direction of the middle-aged man, and took a deep look, from these three precious and rare works of calligraphy and painting, it can be seen that this middle-aged man is probably mainly collecting calligraphy and paintings, if fragile items such as porcelain are difficult to preserve, then paper antiques such as calligraphy and painting, their preservation is more difficult, not to mention that these three paintings and calligraphy works are extremely precious.
Mi Fu does not say much, Qiu Ying and Tang Bohu, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and known as the Ming four, its painting skills are profound, good at painting figures, landscapes, a few years ago, Qiu Ying's fine paintings, "Red Cliff Map" at the auction, with 79.52 million yuan sold, set a world record for the auction of Chinese paintings at that time.
Bada Shanren, whose true character is Zhu Qi, he is the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty fell, his father also died soon after, he was extremely sad and angry in his heart, depressed, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and escaped into the empty door after incognito, on his picture scroll, he can often see a peculiar signature, as if like a crane-shaped symbol, in fact, this symbol is composed of the four characters of "March 19", and this day, is when the Ming Dynasty fell, he used this to express his nostalgia for his homeland.
In painting, he is known for his large-brush ink freehand painting, and is good at splashing ink, especially the beauty of flower and bird paintings, his works often have some strange places, he painted birds and fish, Liao Liao several brushes, or elongated body, or curled up, especially the pair of eyes, sometimes an oval, are not the eyes of the fish and birds that we see in life, the eyes of the fish and birds in life are round, and the eyeballs will not rotate in the center.
The eyes of the fish and birds of the Bada Mountain Man can turn, and sometimes they will roll their eyes and stare at people, but because of the special and complex nature of his life, he cannot express his chest directly like an ordinary painter, so he uses all kinds of strange things to express his inner pain.
The paintings of the Bada Shanren are known for their few, depicting few objects, and using few brushes and inks, but every fish, a bird, a chick, a tree, a flower, a fruit, or even a single painting, only a seal, can constitute a complete picture, which can be said to be so small that it is indispensable.
The predecessors Zeng Yun cherished ink like gold, to say that a little is better than a little, but only the Bada Shanren really did this, his calligraphy and painting works, in the auction, has always been the focus of everyone's grabbing, but a large part of them are treasured in major museums, and rarely in the market.
After careful appraisal by several experts, the estimated value of this painting of the Eight Great Landscapes is 23 million.
Coupled with Mi Fu's calligraphy and Qiu Ying's paintings, the overall estimated price of these three calligraphy works is 62 million.
"Dear friends, the overall valuation of the three calligraphy and painting works of this gentleman on the 35th is 62 million, and there is no friend who bids higher, forming the three-legged golden crow of Loulan Moyu, which is absolutely unique in the world...... 62 million first ...... Deal. Seeing that everyone was just shocked without any action, the auctioneer seemed to understand that the price had reached the end, and quickly finished the usual three offers, and then directly made the final decision.
Three paintings and calligraphy works in exchange for a three-legged golden crow jade pendant, there is no question of worthiness or not, because this jade pendant represents the honor of their small island country.
"Please wait a moment, I will ask the owner of the jade pendant for his opinion, see if he is satisfied with the antique at this price, if not, I will come up and announce the failure of the transaction, please be mentally prepared." The auctioneer said with an extremely solemn face, and then looked in the direction of Dong Qilin.
Dong Qilin couldn't help but look at Fang You, "Xiaoyou, what do you think?" ”
"Hehe, a piece of jade pendant, in exchange for three precious paintings and calligraphy works, that is, this jade pendant appeared on the three-legged golden crow will have such an effect, for the phoenix, I am afraid that it will never reach the current price, just like we Chinese people can be for the zodiac beast head regardless of their personal reputation, forcibly photographed, but refused to pay, to meet their wishes, I agreed, I really look forward to seeing the scene when these three works are in kind." Fang You smiled slightly and nodded.
After getting the exact news, the auctioneer did not show any emotion on his face, but still looked extremely dignified, "Everyone, unfortunately, I will tell you a piece of news......
Hearing this, all the people of the small island country couldn't help but clench their fists, still haven't they been able to invite all of Anameasu's gods back, or are they going to be brought back to their country by the Huaxia people, and the things that their small island country regards as honor are publicly displayed, the middle-aged man sighed, and did his best.
But then, the auctioneer changed his previous solemnity, and said with excitement and excitement: "Unfortunately, this three-legged gold black jade pendant can not return to China, the owner of the jade pendant, for the three calligraphy and painting works, is very satisfied, decided to agree to this transaction, I hereby congratulate Mr. No. 35, with three paintings and calligraphy, in exchange for the messenger of the small island country Amaterasu." ”
Suddenly, all the people on the island showed indescribable joy on their faces, and they yelled and shouted excitedly to vent the many pent-up emotions in their hearts.
Fang You shook his head and smiled, no matter how much he had a sense of honor, he couldn't get rid of the fact that these islanders were robbers.
