Chapter 820: Chicken Cup
Seeing that the man was willing to pay 50 million yen to buy Takeda's mask, Li Yi smiled, which shows that this mask is worth at least 100 million!
"Thank you, if I find Takeda Shingen's mask, I'll definitely come to you, hahahaha!" He patted the package in his hand gently, and took Gu Feng away, this treasure, find the right person, maybe you can get a good Chinese cultural relic!
Leaving the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall, the two came to the porcelain exhibition hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCompared with the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall, there are fewer people in this exhibition hall, Li Yi casually looked at a few stalls, and found that they were all Japanese porcelain, and the prices were very high, and he couldn't help but feel a little lacking in interest.
"Let's take a look at a few more, then let's go back, and we'll see the rest tomorrow."
Gu Feng nodded and said, "Brother Yi, why don't we go to the auction hall next to us and take a look, since it is an auction, it should be some good things." ”
"Oh, there's no need to worry, there's still time, but let's go check it out first."
The rules used in this auction hall are the kind introduced to Li Yi by Qingwu Hongji before, just like the hidden bid of the Myanmar jade public market, each lot has a reserve price, and then there is a bidding box next to it, and the bidder fills in his own quotation and personal information on the bidding form, and waits until the bidding deadline, and the highest bidder wins.
The duration of the exhibition is seven days, so the deadline for bidding is six days later, and the final winning result will be announced in the afternoon of the seventh day. Li Yi is different from others, he can see the bidding orders in each bidding box through perspective, so it doesn't make sense to go early.
It's just that he has just seen a lot of good things in the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall, which has caused him to lack interest in the things in the porcelain hall, and now he is a little embarrassed to go back at this time, so he decided to go and see what good things are there first.
As soon as I walked out of the porcelain hall, I heard a commotion coming from the side. Li Yi turned his head to look, and saw a large group of people walking out of the bidding hall with an angry face surrounded by an old man with an angry face, arguing as he walked.
"What's going on?" Far away, Li Yi heard the old man speak Chinese.
Seeing that Li Yi was interested, Gu Feng ran over to listen to a few words, and after a while, he figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
"Brother Yi, the old man's surname is Wang, he is from Hangzhou, China, he has an ancestral porcelain, which was deceived by little Japan, he has been looking everywhere for the past few years, and he happened to see it in the auction hall of this exhibition, so he was invited out by the organizers."
"Oh? Is there any evidence? ”
"No, after the Japanese knew that their family had that porcelain, they found his son through the leader of his son's company, and then promised a salary increase and promotion, and his son stole the porcelain and sold it, and it didn't seem to be cheap......"
"That's right...... Then there is no way, do you know which porcelain it is? ”
"It seems to be a Yongzheng imitation of Ming Chenghua's doucai chicken bowl cup."
"Let's go, let's go!" Seeing the old man walking towards the office surrounded by the staff, Li Yi shook his head, turned around and walked into the auction hall.
The layout of the auction hall is different from that of the other halls, each lot is placed separately, and there are cards for introduction and quotation next to it, and as for the bidding box, it is placed in front of the lot, and the number on it corresponds to the lot one-to-one.
Li Yi quickly found the chicken bowl cup, because there was a large circle of people there.
"It's just too much deception, and it's just robbed during the war years, when is this time, and you still use such despicable means to loot cultural relics from us!" It was an old man with a white beard who spoke.
"Brother Huang, this isn't it, is it? In fact, the son of that family should be blamed for being greedy for money. Another old man disagreed.
"Well, what Lao Li said makes sense, in fact, the price of 8 million is not very low for a piece of Doucai porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and it is necessary to add the salary increase and promotion promised by the Japanese company, and maybe another person will do the same."
"Alas, there is no way, now these young people have no feelings for these antiques or something. The treasure in our eyes, in their opinion, has only one criterion, that is, whether it is worth it and how much it is worth! This incident reminded me that I should also think about what to do with my treasures when I look back. How many years will I live? If you die, and the treasures you have worked so hard to collect are sold cheaply by your children and grandchildren, then it is called an injustice! ”
The old man surnamed Huang shook his head and sighed, there is no successor, he is definitely not the only collector who encounters this kind of problem, at least more than half of the collectors in Huaxia will encounter this kind of problem.
"Indeed, Brother Huang also has this problem in my family, and that kid in my family is worried about how much my things can be sold for all day long, which annoys me, so he simply finds a museum and donates all his brains to him, see if he still cares!"
"Hehe, if you really want to donate, I can recommend a good place for you, the Zangzhen Museum, have you heard of it?" The old man surnamed Li said with a smile.
"No, what kind of museum is this? Private? ”
The others shook their heads at the same time.
"Hey, you guys, you've been in your own small circle all day long, and you don't pay much attention to such a big thing, let me tell you, now our circle over there is about to explode, there are too many treasures in this Tibetan Museum, just my collections, people take out one of them casually, and it is crushed without suspense!"
"Hey, Lao Li, hurry up and tell me, what's going on?"
Li Yi stood behind them and listened for a while, and when he saw that he actually talked about his museum, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and walked to the front and looked at the chicken bowl cup through the glass.
This chicken bowl cup is very vivid, not only the size is about the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, but even the composition is exactly the same. On the outer wall of the cup, the picture is divided into two groups with peony lake stone and bluegrass lake stone, one group painted rooster with its head proud, a hen and a chick pecking a centipede, and two chicks playing with it. The other group paints a rooster leading the neck to crow, a hen and three chicks pecking a centipede, the picture is vivid, full of interest, and it is made by a master at a glance.
"Sir, can you take it out and have a look?"
Li Yi noticed that there was also a staff member in a suit and leather shoes standing next to the showcase, who should be cooperating with interested guests to check the lots, so he put forward a request to take a look.
"This ......"
The man glanced around, there were a lot of people now, and if one of them accidentally brittled something, it would be troublesome.
Li Yi quickly noticed this problem, he smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll come over when there are fewer people later." ”
The man bowed to him gratefully, this porcelain just had a reserve price of more than 100 million, in case something went wrong, he really couldn't afford it.
"100 million yen, more than 6 million soft girl coins, and the final transaction price should not be less than 12 million. The money is not much, I am afraid that someone will put a satellite or the owner will block the bid at the last moment. ”
The worst thing about this auction method is that it is too easy for the owner to block the bid. He could have put in a psychological price of his own, and if no one could reach this price, the thing would still be his, because of the acquiescence of the organizers, he didn't even have to pay anything for it.
It's okay if it's just like this, but the key is that the price of this block will change with the market, that is, if the owner finds that there are more people who are optimistic about this thing, his psychological price may be higher. After such a fuss about this porcelain, it is possible that the price of the owner of the goods may be doubled.
After all, the original owner has been looking for something for a few years, and now he is still so excited, he is likely to pay a high price. If it arouses the hatred of the Chinese people, then it is not impossible to operate it at a sky-high price.
After pondering for a while, Li Yi shook his head, whatever, anyway, he can see all the bidding offers, and focus on it before the deadline, if the price is right, give up, and give up if it is not suitable. A Qing three generations of Doucai, of course, it is better to get it back, but there is no way to get it back.
There are not many Chinese antiques listed for auction in the auction hall, only about a dozen, which can account for up to one-twentieth of all lots. But among the dozen or so pieces, at least three Li Yi was very interested, not including the chicken bowl cup.
The three lots include an ancient painting, a porcelain, and a Qianlong jade seal. Among them, Li Yi values the ancient painting the most.
That ancient painting is the work of Liang Kai, a painter of the Southern Song Dynasty. Although Liang Kai's reputation is far less than that of those who are famous, in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy, Liang Kai's status is very high, and his main achievement is to create the method of simple figure painting.
This method of painting had a great influence on later generations, not only in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also in the later Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, and many painters in the later Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty have received his influence, and even some of Xu Wei's works can see the shadow of this painting method.
Liang Kai created a lot of works in his life, only in the literature, there are no less than 50, but less than 10 can be handed down to today. However, among these less than ten works, Huaxia only has one!
Correspondingly, the Tokyo National Museum alone has at least three works by Liang Kai, among which the "Snow Landscape Map" was rated as a national treasure as early as the fifties of the last century!
Li Yi checked this work, and this work is indeed the authentic work of Liang Kai. He didn't know why they would put such an important work up for auction at a trade fair, but he wouldn't miss the opportunity anyway.
Even if the other party doesn't actually plan to sell, he has long been ready to block the bid with a sky-high price! (To be continued.) )
