When Chen Ran and Bai Lei entered the auction hall together, the auction was about to start, and the guests all sat down in their respective positions, each holding a number plate in their hands, which was obtained by paying a deposit, and was generally seated according to the number of the number plate.
When Chen Ran came in, because the guests happened to be seated one after another, he walked in with the purple unicorn, which didn't cause much alarm except for attracting a small range of attention.
noticed the people, and didn't care much, it was estimated that they all regarded Chen Ran as the son-in-law of which family, they had seen a lot of such people, so naturally they would not take it to heart, but they all stayed on the purple unicorn for a long time, obviously they saw the extraordinaryness of the purple unicorn at a glance.
"Xiao Ran, you're really not in a hurry at all, if you don't come early or late, you're just in time to come over." Bai Lei took Chen Ran directly to the tea house where Bai Lao was, and when he saw Chen Ran, who was not in a hurry and walked over with Bai Lei, Bai Lao laughed.
"Bai Lao. Jiang Lao, you are here too. At the tea party, in addition to Bai Lao, Jiang Lao was also there, and when he saw Chen Ran coming, he smiled at Chen Ran and nodded, after Chen Ran and Bai Lao said hello, they also hurriedly said hello to Jiang Lao.
"It's about to start, sit down." Bai Lao smiled, beckoned Chen Ran to come and sit beside him, Chen Ran just sat down, and the purple unicorn also rushed over, and after Bai Lao saw it, he was suddenly surprised.
"Hey, why did you come in with a big guy?"
"Grandpa, don't touch it, it's amazing." When Bai Lao was young, he was also a big stubborn master, flowers and birds and crickets, that was not a problem, when he saw the purple unicorn rushing over, after being surprised, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wanted to touch the purple unicorn's head, so frightened that Bai Lei quickly screamed.
"Bai Lao, it's okay......" Chen Ran shook his head with a smile, reached out and patted the purple unicorn to make it honest, the purple unicorn was patted by Chen Ran, and he honestly lay at Chen Ran's feet, and Bai Lao reached out and touched the purple unicorn's head.
"That's a big guy." After touching it, Bai Lao nodded and commented.
"It's good, it's so majestic to go out with it, grandpa, you can also get me one to raise......" Bai Lei was very envious of Chen Ran's majesty just now, and when he heard Old Man Bai's words, he said with a calm face.
"You think this is Chinese cabbage, you can get it if you want, this thing is the same as antiques, it depends on chance, but it is not something that can be bought with money......"
Bai Lao glared at Bai Lei angrily and scolded with a smile, with his old man's eyes, he could naturally see that the purple unicorn was not an ordinary Tibetan mastiff, he didn't object much to Bai Lei playing this, in his eyes, as long as Bai Lei didn't spend money in vain, the money was worth it, and he could play anything.
Just like Bai Lei also wants to raise one, not only does he not oppose it, but he actually supports it. At this point, Old Man Bai is still very open, I'm afraid this is also the reason why Bai Lei doesn't go home and stays here with Old Bai all the time.
"Don't look for me about this, go find Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran's luck is good, hehe, okay, let's not talk about it, the auction has started."
Bai Lao pushed the matter on Chen Ran's head, and immediately made Chen Ran smile bitterly, he wanted to get one for Bai Lei, this kid, after all, during this time, this kid helped him a lot, and it should be a reward for this kid, the key is that he has no way, not to mention that since he wants to get one for this kid, then at least he has to get a purebred Tibetan mastiff, even if the purebred one has a way, it is not easy to get it, Zhu Feng's purebred Chigu cub can get it is still a fluke, let alone him, So Chen Ran could only pretend not to see the stares cast by this kid......
Bai Lei didn't pester Chen Ran, and his eyes were also attracted from the beginning of the auction over there.
After all the guests took their seats one after another, the first to appear was a female emcee, Chen Ran didn't know this female emcee, but he heard better, and from the whispering voices of others, he heard that this female emcee was a big star surnamed Cai, and she seemed to be quite famous.
Chen Ran didn't care, no matter what ceremony is held in this year, a big star must be invited to press the stage, not to mention such a private occasion, even the official ceremony often has to invite a star to be the spokesperson.
The people present were not ordinary people, so the appearance of this very popular star did not cause much of a sensation.
The big star said a few congratulatory words such as welcoming guests, and focused on a few important guests, who are indeed heavyweights.
There are mainlanders, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, all of whom are celebrities and authoritative experts in the collection industry, which can be regarded as letting Chen Ran get to know him and gain some knowledge.
After a few short words, the auction was announced.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Ma Chao, the auctioneer who is presiding over this auction, and I am very happy to have you all come to participate in this special auction of Dingsheng art......"
After the female master of ceremonies stepped down, a middle-aged man wearing white gloves walked to the front of the auction table, and skillfully said an opening sentence in standard Mandarin with passionate emphasis.
"The first lot we are going to auction today is a painting, a replica of a later life, but this imitation is worth more than the real thing......"
Ma Chao is the chief auctioneer of Dingsheng Auction House, with a strong ability to adjust the atmosphere of the audience, and he is very skillful in speaking.
The auction house did not directly take out the Huashen Cup for auction, which was expected by Chen Ran, the usual means of the auction house, before the finale lot was introduced, there would always be some other lots with low to high prices before the auction, so that it could not only set off the preciousness of the finale lot, but also gradually warm up the anger of the scene, the main thing is to adjust the atmosphere, which is like playing cards or mahjong, at the beginning of two or five pieces is too much, but after playing for a while, whether it is a win or lose, five yuan does not care.
In addition to the finale lot, Dingsheng Auction House is obviously very good at other treasures, not to mention others, just say that this piece of pre-heating can be comparable to the international auction venue, it can be seen that for this auction, Dingsheng Auction House has also made a lot of money.
Ma Chao's words were only said in the first half, but the latter words deliberately paused and did not say them, making everyone guess, and correspondingly, it caused a commotion in the field.
The situation in front of me is the standard knowledgeable doorway, those who don't know how to watch the excitement, those who know how to listen to Ma Chao say this, basically have guessed who made this antique painting, and those who don't know how to do it will ask if there are acquaintances around them, and those who don't know can only stare at the excitement.
When Chen Ran heard Ma Chao's words, he almost didn't think about it to know what was going on with this antique painting, in the line of ancient calligraphy and painting, there was a person's imitation painting that was more valuable than the real thing.
This person is none other than the famous Zhang Daqian.
When it comes to the Chinese painting world, there are two famous people who have to say, this is the Southern Zhang and Northern Qi, and the Southern Zhang and Northern Qi refer to Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi respectively.
Zhang Daqian's original name was Zhang Zhengquan, also known as Zhang Zhan, the word Ji Zhan, the name Daqian, alias Daqian Jushi, Xia Riba people, and the name Dafengtang. He is the most legendary master of Chinese painting in the 20th century, whether it is painting, calligraphy, seal carving, poetry and everything. His painting style is a combination of fine brushwork and freehand, heavy color, ink and wash fusion, and splash ink and splash color techniques have created a new style of painting art.
Zhang Daqian's imitation painting is more valuable than the real painting, not to say that Zhang Daqian's painting is better than the original painter's painting, the painting is good, the imitation painting is not necessarily valuable, since it is imitation, it is natural to compare with the real painting, the more similar the imitation, the better the nature.
Zhang Daqian's imitation paintings can almost be fake and real, especially the imitation of Shi Tao has reached the same Cheng dΓΉ as the form and god, as we all know, Shi Tao's paintings are the most difficult to imitate, and only Zhang Daqian can imitate successfully.
It is this kind of skill that makes Zhang Daqian's imitation paintings more valuable than the real ones.
"I'll give 650,000 ......"
Ma Chao just said the auction reserve price of Zhang Daqian's imitation painting of 600,000 yuan, and someone immediately began to shout the price, with the first person shouting the price, the venue was lively, and the guests present raised their hands frequently, and the competition was very fierce.
"I'll give 700,000." "Seven hundred and fifty thousand." "Eight hundred and fifty thousand." "I'll give 900,000 ......"
Zhang Daqian's imitation paintings are still selling relatively hot, not to mention others, that is, Chen Ran originally wanted to bid for the auction, Ma Zhiyuan asked him to buy a pair of ancient calligraphy paintings, Zhang Daqian's imitation paintings can definitely be handled, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people bidding, in the blink of an eye, it would be more than a million.
A million is not worth it.
Chen Ran thought about it, forget it, let Ma Zhiyuan take more than a million ancient calligraphy and paintings to give gifts, maybe someone will check him, of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that Chen Ran suddenly thought that the items auctioned at the auction have auction records, no matter who can find it, Ma Zhiyuan took it away, it is undoubtedly too high-profile.
"Okay, 1.65 million yuan, congratulations to this gentleman......"
When the price was shouted to 1.65 million, but no one bid anymore, Ma Chao agitated a few times, and when he saw that no one was shouting anymore, he picked up the auction hammer and knocked it down.
"Good signs." After Ma Chao shouted the deal, Bai Lao said happily.
Jiang Lao also smiled and nodded.
The purpose of the two of them to participate in this auction is naturally for the Flower God Cup, although the two of them did not have the intention of auctioning, but they both regarded Chen Ran as the younger generation of their sons and nephews, and this set of Flower God Cup was made by Chen Ran, so they were very concerned.
Chen Ran couldn't help but smile, looking a little energetic, the imitation painting of Zhang Daqian in front of him was not a fine product, and it would be good to be able to get a million at the auction at ordinary times, but now it has been auctioned for 1.65 million yuan, which can be described as a high price.
The fact that the first lot was sold for a high price is undoubtedly a good sign, and when it comes to die casting, the results will be self-explanatory.
"Now let's move on to the second lot......"
After the first sale, Ma Chao took out the second lot, but the second lot was a piece of bloodstone, which was also auctioned at a high price.
"I'm bidding 1.2 million!"
After a young man sitting in the tea room next to Chen Ran made a bid, it caused a fierce competition, and finally this bloodstone was sold at a high price of 1.95 million.
In the following process, a total of five or six more pieces were auctioned, regardless of the price, but gradually, the atmosphere was set off.
"Okay, friends must have been waiting for a while, you must be scolding me in your heart for delaying everyone's time, let's auction the last lot, which is ......"
When he said this, Ma Chao suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere of the audience was also made tense by his pause, and his breathing was a little short.
Although the auction had not yet begun, the audience suddenly fell silent, no one made a sound, and everyone held their breath, their eyes widened as if they were going to shout with all their might......
[It seems to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, eat more moon cakes, and ask weakly, does anyone send moon cakes...... Thank you for the reward from the two brothers who returned to their parents' house and the beast pig's head, and took these two hundred oceans to buy moon cakes to eat. γ
