Chapter 679: Golden Pagoda
PS: It's strange, when it wasn't updated during the day, a lot of people gave tickets, and when it was updated at night, there were no tickets. Everyone, please help me and ask for monthly ticket support.
A long time ago, when Wang Guan's bank card savings exceeded 10,000 yuan, he felt that he was a little rich and healthy; With 100,000 yuan, he began to dream of buying a car or a house; Then with one million, he felt that he could have no worries about food and clothing in this life, and he no longer had to worry about money. Especially after tens of millions, he feels that money is purely a string of numbers......
However, the cruel truth tells Wang Guan that even if he has a net worth of more than 100 million, he is still a poor man, and he needs to look ahead and make careful calculations to achieve his goal.
At the same time, Chang Lao noticed Wang Guan's loss, and immediately sneered: "Boy, you are so ambitious, you want to eat everything in the house?" I'm not afraid to kill you! I'll tell you the truth, if you could bring one or two of the things in this room, don't expect to be shot like you just did. ”
While speaking, Chang Lao stood up directly and said loudly: "Now that the matter is now, there is no need to hide it, this screen is 50 million, and we want Rong Bao Zhai." ”
"Fifty million!"
All of a sudden, many people began to speak.
In addition, everyone also understands the meaning of Chang Lao, because at this time, there is really no need to make any secret marks, and now the competition is financial resources, and those who have no money are definitely not eligible to participate in the competition.
As for the rich, as Chang Lao himself said, the things here are very precious, and the price is more than tens of millions, and no one can buy them all. So let's just make it clear and let everyone weigh whether it is to compete with the wealthy Rong Bao Zhai, or the idea of playing something else.
After careful consideration, Zeng Lao and several powerful collectors did not squeak, and Jia Qin seemed to be quite satisfied with this price, so she naturally reached an agreement with Chang Lao.
"Very good......" Chang Lao nodded in satisfaction. Immediately, his fingers gently brushed on the screen, probably thinking of the old man of the Jia family, and a touch of loneliness suddenly flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, Jia Qin beckoned everyone to bypass the screen and enter the room.
Behind the screen, there is a row of bookshelves with six shelves, each of which is filled with dense volumes. Judging by the book's binding and yellowing color, these should be ancient books.
Seeing this situation, Wang Guan and others were quite surprised. After all, there were a lot of ancient books in the spacious room just now, but I didn't expect this room to still exist. It's just that they are confused, but Chang Lao and a few people don't think it's strange, obviously they are insiders.
At this moment, a big collector directly stretched out two fingers: "20 million, I have all these books." ”
Wang Guan and the others were shocked again, what ancient books are so expensive, they are actually worth 20 million. I didn't think that Jia Qin was dissatisfied with the price, so she slowly shook her head and said, "It's less." ”
"Twenty-three million." The man continued to raise the price.
This time. Wang Guan finally couldn't help but be curious, and stepped forward to take a look, but was surprised to find that the bindings, papers, and versions of these ancient books were different, but most of them were related to the Dream of Red Mansions. From the earliest manuscripts. and then to the official engravings, prints, and rust portraits, everything is available, all-encompassing. That's enough to fill six shelves of books.
"Brother Jia is a fan of Red Mansions, and he is an expert in red studies."
At this time, Chang Lao said softly. Let Wang Guan suddenly realize. He already knew what he had in mind, from Jia Qin's name to the Jinling Twelve Hairpin Screens just now, he could see Old Man Jia's hobbies.
In other words, the ancient books on this bookshelf should be the treasures that Mr. Jia took great pains to collect during his lifetime. Not only are there many precious editions, but they are also very rich and complete, so it is understandable that the price is more expensive.
Anyway, after some bargaining, Jia Qin and the big collector also reached a consensus, and finally sold for 25 million. Don't think that the big collector is losing, on the contrary, he is taking advantage.
You must know that there are the last forty original manuscripts of Gao E's continuation of the Dream of Red Mansions on the bookshelf, and this manuscript alone is a priceless treasure for those who are obsessed with the study of red studies.
Of course, Wang Guan is not good at this, he must be reluctant to spend this money. Anyway, the second transaction was completed, and Jia Qin was satisfied, and led everyone around the bookshelves and into the room.
At the right time, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the contents were unobstructed. It was at this time that everyone also felt dazzled, and they wished to have a few more pairs of eyes, so that they could enjoy these treasures. But among the many treasures, the most striking is a glittering golden pagoda in the center.
Wang Guan carefully looked, only to see that the pagoda is circular as a whole, the base is square, it is composed of three major parts of the tower base, the tower bottle, the tower stop, the shape is exquisitely chic, the Buddha is full of light and treasure, it is very exquisite, and it is beautiful and generous. The most important thing that cannot be ignored is the height of the pagoda, according to Wang Guan's visual measurement, at least about 1.5 meters, which is level with the height of some adults.
"This is the Qing Palace, the Buddha's Golden Body Our Lady Pagoda." When everyone was watching the pagoda, Zeng Lao smiled slightly and quoted directly: "Sixty million, we Jiade wants it." ”
"Sixty-two million."
In an instant, a big collector's eyes flashed, intending to compete with Zeng Lao. From the rosary and peace charm hanging from the neck and hand of the great collector, we know that he is a Buddhist, and when he sees the treasure of the Buddhist family, he is naturally happy to see the hunt and will not miss it easily.
Zeng Lao frowned slightly, he naturally knew the details of the big collectors, and his expression was a little more serious, and he also keenly noticed the appearance of the two or three big collectors next to him, so he knew that this matter might not be easily solved.
Just when Zeng Lao was about to re-quote, Jia Qin suddenly smiled and said: "Don't worry, my dad likes this thing more, and he is still thinking about whether to sell it, let's take a look at these snuff bottles first." ”
Jia Qin's words drew everyone's attention, and then they all looked at the glass cabinet next to them.
Wang Guan is naturally no stranger to snuff bottles, but the snuff bottles collected by the Jia family are also a bit unique. Not only the material of the snuff box, but also the portrait on the snuff box.
Old Man Jia is really a fan of the Dream of Red Mansions, and even the snuff bottles he collected are also related to the Dream of Red Mansions, and on the small and exquisite snuff bottles, either the poems in the Dream of Red Mansions are written, or the portraits of the characters in the Dream of Red Mansions are described.
Of course, more importantly, these snuff bottles are actually made by famous artists.
As mentioned before, there were four masters of snuff bottle painting in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, known as the four famous paintings in the capital. They are Ma Shaoxuan, who entered the house, Ye Zhongsan, Zhou Leyuan, Yangchun Baixue, and Wu Chang'an, who are all civil and military. Among Wang Guan's collections, there are Ma Shaoxuan's snuff bottles. However, he pales in comparison with Old Man Jia's collection.
Because the snuff bottles collected by Mr. Jia not only cover all the four famous Dans of the Beijing School, but also include the works of other famous artists, the preciousness of which can also be imagined.
Seeing this, Wang Guan couldn't help but sigh, a big collector is a big collector. The collection that people play is really extraordinary, and the Dream of Red Mansions theme is the basic tricks, and they are all masterpieces, which are called real skills.
At the same time, some antique dealers who ran orders were not calm, but their strength was insufficient, so they had to ask: "Jia Shao, can these things be sold individually?" ”
The price of these snuff bottles varies from high to low, but the lowest ones are more than a few hundred thousand. If it all adds up, then the total price is higher, and even Wang Guan, who is not bad for money, feels a little pressure, not to mention the weak antique dealer, even if he is bankrupt, he may not be able to eat it. But things are really good, and they are reluctant to give up, so they want to count the money on a case-by-case basis.
"I'm sorry, these things are a set, let's count the money together."
However, Jia Qin felt that this was very troublesome and refused directly. Because he knew that even if he sold it individually, these antique dealers would definitely have to bargain, so it was better to pack them together and count them as a total. The price is not much different, and it's easier and faster.
While speaking, Jia Qin smiled and said, "If anyone is interested, they can bid now." ”
All of a sudden, several big collectors began to hesitate, first looking at the snuff box in front of them, then looking back at the golden pagoda, and began to think about the trade-off.
After all, everyone's money is not for nothing, and the total value of snuff bottles and golden pagodas must have exceeded 100 million. Although it is not a problem for these big collectors to come up with 100 million, the question is whether it is necessary to buy them all? You must know that there are many treasures in the world, and if you have to buy all the good things, then even if the family has a bank, it is estimated that you will not be able to come up with so much money.
So as a big collector, you must first learn to make trade-offs, don't buy the most expensive, just buy what you like.
"Forty million."
A large collector thought about it for a moment, apparently preferring snuff bottles, and directly quoted a sincere price. However, his sincerity seems to be insufficient, at least someone is more sincere than him, casually raising the price: "Forty-three million." ”
"Forty-five million." Immediately another person joined the battle.
In an instant, it can be said that the smoke of gunpowder is filled, the flames of war are flying, and between you and me, it is the invisible sword light and sword shadow.
Wang Guan watched the excitement from the side, Chang Lao touched his shoulder casually, and whispered: "Things are good, if you have a lot of money, don't stare dryly, and make a move when it's time to make a move, so as not to regret it." ”
"Thank you for the reminder." Wang Guan smiled and said in a deep voice, "I'll think about ...... again."
"When you think about it, the daylilies are cold." Chang Lao said casually: "Of course, if you have confidence, you can compete with them for the Golden Pagoda." However, the price is estimated to be higher. ”
When Wang Guan heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Chang Lao, what is the origin of that golden pagoda?" ”
"Didn't you say it just now, hidden in the Qing Palace." Chang Lao explained softly: "In the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong, he specially asked someone to cast a magic vessel to pray for blessings to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday, and it has been hidden in the deep palace. It wasn't until after Xinhai that due to the turmoil of the current situation, things fell to the people......" (To be continued. )
