Chapter 250: Fake to the Emperor

Directly in front of it is a huge auction table, similar to a stage. In front of the auction table of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, there are rows of seats, just like the seats in the opera house.

The seats in the middle are reserved for the guests who will participate in the auction today. On both sides of the aisle is the working area of the staff, as well as the area where the media and reporters take pictures and records.

By this time, the auction was about to begin, and most of the seats were full.

Li Yan and Zhou Zhenghuang found a seat and sat down, chatting while waiting for the auction to start.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance, and a group of reporters rushed over as if they had suddenly received some news. The cameras, which had been facing the auction table, also turned around and pointed at the entrance.

The guests in the seats also turned their backs.

In a flash of lights, the first thing I saw was a few bodyguards in black suits opening the way in front of me, escorting a man in.

Li Yan felt a little strange in his heart. Who is coming, with such a big show?

The surrounding guests also exchanged heads and talked about each other.

I heard someone say: "I heard that the Song family will also send someone to auction tonight, I don't know who will come?" ”

"Mr. Song has always liked to collect art, I wonder if he will come here in person tonight?"

"It's impossible, people have a net worth of hundreds of billions, and it's just an auction, and it's not so attractive, so let him put down his business and come by himself. Just send a representative! ”

"Hey, hey, have you seen clearly, it's Miss Song Celadon, the daughter of the Song family, who is here in person! Wow, real people are really more beautiful, noble, and temperamental than magazines! ”

"What, it turned out that Miss Song came in person? How is this possible? ”

"What's so strange about that. Miss Song Celadon is the only daughter of Mr. Song Keliang, and she is the most promising successor of the entire Song family. Recently, Miss Song has often appeared in public, maybe Mr. Song intends to cultivate, let her exercise. ”

At this time, Li Yan, who was sitting in the seat, also saw Song Celadon under the protection of the bodyguards.

She wore a noble Chanel black dress tonight, held a Hermes custom bag, wore a diamond necklace on a slender jade neck like a white swan, and an imperial green jade bracelet on her snow-white wrist. In the crazy flashing lights, her face was like jade, she smiled charmingly, dazzling the stars and moon, and reflected countless jewels all over her body, showing a kind of princess-like grace and luxury.

She smiled and nodded to the camera and the guests around her, and then greeted her acquaintance celebrity guests as she walked to the front row of seats.

As elegant as ever, as noble as ever, full of wealthy demeanor.

When she passed by the line where Li Yan was sitting, Li Yan saw her delicate and beautiful side face, and many pieces of the past came to her heart in an instant, and her heartbeat couldn't help but beat a few times faster.

From the surprise when she first met at the grocery store, to the secret joy and unnaturalness when she helped her choose clothes, to the drunken night when she toasted and drank together, everything is like being immersed in grape wine, the longer it goes, the more mellow it becomes.

However, he finally restrained some churning thoughts, and sat quietly in his seat, not standing up to greet her, but admiring her grace and beauty from afar.

Before Tang Mingyue appeared, Song Celadon undoubtedly slammed into Li Yan's heart.

To be honest, any grassroots man from the bottom may have an unrealistic rhapsody in his heart when he suddenly meets a noble daughter who lives in the clouds, right?

Men will "toads want to eat swan meat", women will fantasize about "Cinderella meets the prince", it can be said that this is human nature, and Li Yan is not exempt from vulgarity.

But he promised Tang Mingyue.

And now he is growing at an incredible speed, confidence, confidence, strength and his own charm are changing rapidly. Whether it is in the face of wealth, power or beauty, he can now maintain a more peaceful state of mind.

So, let it be.

After Song Celadon sat down, the auction began.

In the early stage, the auctions were all paintings and calligraphy works of ancient, modern and modern Chinese artists, and the valuation was mostly less than one million. But insiders know that these are foreplay dishes, just used to warm up.

Therefore, the reaction in the venue was only tepid, and only some small buyers with limited strength were bidding, and the auction price only reached one or two million at most.

However, as the auction progresses, the further back on, the higher the valuation of the artwork at auction, and the greater the likelihood of fetching a sky-high price.

When it comes to the finale of the masterpieces, it is the time when the hidden big buyers have made a move. The real climax will also be staged when many high rollers are competing for thousands of dollars.

Of course, there is also an important reason why some art investors do not just bid casually.

The water is too deep.

Among all the cultural and entertainment investments, the field of calligraphy, painting and artwork is the area with the most fakes and the most serious counterfeiting.

In the domestic market, the art auction market of "no highest, only higher" appears to be prosperous, but there are many dark shadows behind it, and many auction companies have false appraisals, false reports of turnover, joint efforts, money laundering and bribery and other illegal behaviors from the collection of lots, the appraisal of cultural relics to the publication of catalogues and formal auctions......

In the thousands of years of Chinese painting and calligraphy, fakes have almost never disappeared.

An important example is that the famous painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence" completed in 1350 by the famous painter Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty was exhibited in the Treasure Island Forbidden City, and the second half of this masterpiece "Useless Master Scroll" was dedicated to the Qianlong Emperor in the Qing Dynasty.

However, after later identification, this painting is actually an imitation of the Ming Dynasty, not the real work of Huang Gongwang. Look at the "long-standing" history of fraud in Chinese calligraphy and painting, even Emperor Qianlong was deceived.

So much so that in modern times, Chinese paintings and calligraphy have been regarded as a daunting path by the entire academic community in the international market - even the auction catalogues of international auction companies such as Sufubi and Jiade clearly express that they are "exempt from responsibility" for the authenticity of the Chinese paintings and calligraphy they auction. This "international practice" has been completely copied by all domestic auction companies.

In particular, the art of calligraphy and painting at this stage is extremely superb, and even experts are not immune to being deceived. Neither the primary market galleries nor the secondary market auction companies that trade in art can guarantee the authenticity of the artworks.

Once a counterfeit is bought at auction, it is difficult for the buyer to recover the loss through legal means, except for the fact that he is unlucky.

Therefore, under such a premise, even if there is strength and there are experts to help the big buyers, they will be cautious when making a move. Generally, they will not bid indiscriminately for unaccurate lots.

An hour later, the atmosphere in the auction hall gradually became hot as most of the lots were successfully sold in the midst of the loud bidding.
