Chapter 129: Problematic Porcelain (First Update)

After the master of ceremonies introduced the porcelain, the surrounding collectors and investors vied with each other to bid, and it didn't take long for the batch of porcelain to be sold to a high price of $3 million. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Qiao Zhen really wanted to bid to see if she could auction the porcelain, but the bidding at the auction hall was so crazy that she was sold for more than $3 million before she could open her mouth. If she raises the price at this time, I am afraid that she will not be able to get four million US dollars, which has far exceeded the market price of Hailao porcelain, and even if it is auctioned, it will not make much money.

After the price of this batch of porcelain was speculated to 3 million US dollars, there were many fewer people who followed the price, and finally it was auctioned by an antique dealer from Germany for 3.8 million yuan.

"Don't worry, although the quality of this batch of porcelain is good, it is far from high-quality. I guess this batch of porcelain is just bait released by the auction company, and the real fine porcelain is still to come. ”

Qin Fan's treasure pupil swept over the dozen or so pieces of blue and white porcelain, which were typical of Zhangzhou blue and white porcelain, which is what Europeans called Clark porcelain. Although this kind of Clark porcelain is highly sought after and favored by Europeans, it is still a grade worse than the fine porcelain produced in Jingdezhen in terms of quality, and its collection and investment value is limited.

After Qin Fan's reminder, Qiao Zhenzhen also calmed down.

The scene of the crazy bidding just now is indeed a bit abnormal, as for what is so greasy in this, Qiao Zhenzhen can know it after a little thought.

Qin Fan noticed that Guo Qidong, Li Rong and the few international collectors sitting in the front row had no intention of making a move, and it seemed that they were also eyeing the high-end fine porcelain auctioned later, and they were not interested in these big road goods.

In the next auction, I am afraid there will be a dragon fight.

Due to the low price and good quality of Hailao porcelain, in recent years, the attention in the antique market has been increasing day by day, and the hundreds of pieces of Hailao porcelain that were put up for auction this time have been sought after and favored by buyers, and the high price of tens of millions of US dollars has been auctioned.

"Manager Zheng, we're not here to see these big road goods, if you can't get any more high-end porcelain that satisfies me, I'm leaving." Li Rong said to Manager Zheng impatiently.

"Miss Li, don't worry, those high-end porcelains are in the back, and the next lot will ensure that you are satisfied."

Manager Zheng wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, Guo Qidong he can't afford to offend, and he can't offend this Li Rong. Otherwise, his boss would have to peel him off.

"The next piece of porcelain we are going to auction is a fine blue and white porcelain produced in Jingdezhen."

Hearing the emcee's words, Guo Qidong and Li Rong's eyes lit up, and the highlight was finally coming.

At this time, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the regular shape of the late Ming Dynasty blue and white feudal marquis pipazun.

At first glance, this piece of blue and white porcelain is delicate, bright as new, beautifully decorated, and elegant, and it is indeed a fine blue and white porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty.

Although this blue and white pipa is Hailao porcelain, its quality is not much better than that of the fine folk kiln porcelain and even the official kiln in the antique market.

"Hey, Qin Fan, you see that a little monkey is painted on this blue and white pipa zun, does this have any meaning?" Qiao Zhenzhen was also attracted by this exquisite blue and white porcelain, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qin Fan patiently explained to Qiao Zhenzhen, "In traditional Chinese culture, we like to use homophony, and it is also used in blue and white decorations, for example, painting nine quails means long-term peace and stability, and painting three goats means three sheep to open Thailand." ”

"In our culture, the monkey symbolizes the marquis, like a marquis on horseback, which is a monkey riding on horseback. Do you see if there is a hornet's nest on this pine tree where the monkey is leaning? ”

Qiao Zhenzhen squinted his eyes and carefully looked for it on the blue and white pipa zun, and really found a hornet's nest, and asked curiously, "What is the meaning of this hornet's nest?" ”

"Hehe, because bee is homophonic with the word seal, sealing the marquis means that he is about to become an official."

Due to the surprise of Chinese and Western cultures, ordinary Westerners do not quite understand the meaning of this blue and white porcelain. However, this does not prevent Westerners from appreciating China's fine porcelain.

Chinese porcelain was famous in Europe, and all the European aristocrats at that time were proud to own Chinese porcelain, which was a symbol of power and status in the West.

"The starting price of this blue and white Fenghou Pipa Zun is 300,000 US dollars, and the auction starts now."

In 2003, the exchange rate of the US dollar to RMB was about 8.27, 300,000 US dollars, which is about 2.5 million RMB. In the domestic antique market, the transaction price of high-end blue and white porcelain of this quality is generally more than 8 million RMB. In this way, the starting price of $300,000 is not too high.

"$350,000!"

"380,000!"

"400,000!"

Sure enough, the buyers who had just finished speaking couldn't wait to bid, and in less than 30 seconds, they called for $400,000, and it seems that this bidding competition is far from over.

"I'll pay $500,000!"

At this time, a voice overshadowed the audience.

Guo Qidong, who was sitting in the front row, directly added 100,000 US dollars, pushing the price of this blue and white porcelain to 500,000 US dollars in one go.

A mere $100,000 is nothing to Guo Qidong, and he bought this blue and white porcelain as a gift to a very important figure to the Guo family.

If he can get the support of this big man, his status in the Guo family will be able to rise, and the brothers and sisters who are pressing on his head will be trampled down.

Although the Guo family has a deep background, there are still people who dare not sell his Guo Qidong's face at the auction.

"600,000."

A fluttering voice sounded, Guo Qidong turned his head sharply and glared at Li Rong, and said with a somewhat unpleasant face, "Miss Li, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Why, could it be that this blue and white porcelain can only be bought by Guo Dashao, so we can't bid?" Li Rong competed with Guo Qidong with a playful face, but she was not afraid that others would not dare to provoke the Guo family.

Not to mention the background of the Li family in Xiangjiang, even the ZTE Group in Li Rong's hands can completely blow up Guo Qidong, a gentleman, for several streets, so she doesn't have to look at Guo Qidong's face at all, and Guo Qidong has nothing to do with her.

Guo Qidong's face turned blue and white for a while, but he couldn't refute Li Rong's words, he held back a bad anger in his chest and had no place to vent, and he was extremely depressed in his heart.

"700,000, I Guo Qidong has nothing else but a lot of money, let's see when Miss Li can keep up with the price."

In fact, Guo Qidong is also an idle playboy in the family, and the money given by the family is usually used to buy yachts, pick up girls and gamble, and he doesn't have much money on hand.

"800,000."

Just after Guo Qidong quoted a price of 700,000 US dollars, someone immediately followed. It's just that the person who made the bid was not Li Rong who was sitting next to him, but Qiao Zhenzhen, who rejected him just now.

At this time, Guo Qidong's face was completely gloomy.

Qiao Zhenzhen's previous refusal of Guo Qidong's invitation had already made him lose face, and now she openly jumped out to argue with him, did she really think that with the Qiao family, she was qualified to wrestle with him?

"Hmph, the turtle from the mainland also dares to fight with Young Master Ben, a stinky bitch who doesn't know whether to live or die." Guo Qidong laughed angrily, he couldn't figure it out, couldn't Li Rong still be able to figure out a mere Qiao family?

"Hehe, since Miss Qiao wants to play that young master, she will accompany her to the end, 900,000 US dollars."

Qiao Zhenzhen hesitated, 900,000 US dollars had touched her bottom line, and if she continued to bid, I was afraid that even if she could auction this blue and white porcelain, she would lose a lot of money.

It's just that Qiao Zhenzhen didn't want to give up so easily, and gritted his teeth and shouted the price of $1 million.

"1.1 million!" Guo Qidong didn't expect Qiao Zhenzhen to dare to bargain with him, and suddenly a wave of anger rushed to his head, and he added 100,000 US dollars without thinking.

Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes darkened, and when she was about to give up, a familiar voice sounded beside her, "1.15 million." ”

"Qin Fan?"

The price of this blue and white porcelain is about 800 to 10 million RMB in the market, and if they auction it at a price of 1.15 million US dollars and deduct various expenses, they will basically not make any money.

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't understand why Qin Fan suddenly opened his mouth to increase the price, could it be that he saw something?

"It's the kid from the mainland."

Guo Qidong glared at Qin Fan fiercely, his teeth itching with hatred. If it weren't for this kid, Qiao Zhenzhen wouldn't have refused his invitation, making him lose face in front of so many people.

This revenge must be avenged.

"I'll pay $1.2 million!" Guo Qidong sneered and glanced at Qin Fan defiantly.

Among them, the wealthy often regard face as bigger than the sky, and whoever dares to lose face in public will be regarded as a feud. What's more, what made Guo Qidong lose face was a poor boy from the mainland, how could he mix in the circle if he was soft.

"Qin Fan, do we still have to bid?" Qiao Zhen was a little nervous in his heart, and he didn't know whether he should give up or continue to chase the price.

She originally thought that Qin Fan would definitely not give up easily, but Qin Fan shook his head, lowered his voice and said to Qiao Zhenzhen, "I'm afraid there is a problem with this blue and white porcelain, so we won't shoot it." ”

Questions?

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen really sighed in his heart, this blue and white porcelain was salvaged from the bottom of the sea, no matter how you look at it, it should be genuine, how can there be a problem?

Guo Qidong saw that Qin Fan didn't pay attention to his provocation, and felt as if he had punched the cotton, and he was depressed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and strangle this bastard kid.

"If there is no one who continues to bid, if not, this blue and white porcelain will belong to this gentleman."

In the end, this blue and white porcelain lot was unexpectedly slapped by Guo Qidong at a price of 1.2 million US dollars, and Manager Zheng's face was smiling like an old chrysanthemum.

$1.2 million is not a small amount for Guo Qidong, and it is impossible to say that it is not painful. But at this point, Guo Qidong could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

After the auction ended, Qiao Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask, "Qin Fan, don't sell Guanzi, tell me what is wrong with that blue and white porcelain, can it still be fake." ”
