Seeing that the price quoted by everyone was about 500,000 US dollars, Li Mobai sneered in his heart, if he won this painting at such a price, if the author was still alive, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood and hit tofu and die. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because the author of this painting should be a very famous figure in history, but due to special reasons, he ended up with no name, and the author of this painting is no one else, but Xiao Yi, the emperor of Liang Yuan of the Southern Dynasty.

Why Xiao Yi is so famous is because he is the most famous 'cuckold emperor' in Chinese history, his wife openly has fun with his lover in the harem, and Xiao Yi is indifferent, and he has no intention of disposing of his wife's lover, Li Mobai thinks that this person's behavior is really incredible.

If this is not enough to understand, then the phrase ', the charm still exists', I believe everyone must be very familiar with it, and it is right to be familiar, this sentence is talking about the wife of Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan - Xu Zhaopei.

Before Xiao Yi became the emperor, it is said that he was not close to women, and after becoming the emperor, he was even more disdainful of the beauties of the palace, so the palace people looked for an emotional way out - looking for a lover, the concubine Xu Zhaopei finally couldn't help but find a beautiful young man Ji Jiang with handsome eyebrows and elegant manners under the general trend. At first, the two were still secretive, and then they interacted openly, whenever Xiao Yi talked about the way of Lao Zhuang with the ministers in the Longguang Palace, it was also the time when Xu Guifei and Ji Jijiang enjoyed themselves in the inner garden of the deep palace.

So, someone once jokingly asked Ji Jiang: 'How does it taste?' Ji Jijiang replied without concealment: "are old, and they are still affectionate." Or answer: 'Although the are old, the charm is still there!' So later generations described the style of middle-aged women as undiminished, and there was an allusion to ', the charm still exists'.

At first glance, Xiao Yi is really aggrieved when this emperor is really aggrieved, the big guy is thinking, is this guy an idiot, this is a big mistake, this person can be said to be diligent and enterprising, erudite and talented, is a very famous literati bachelor, the Three Kingdoms period has 'three Cao' is famous all over the world, and the 'four Xiao' in the Southern Dynasties period - Xiao Yan, Xiao Tong, Xiao Gang, Xiao Yi private is also the best, not only has the world, but also became the emperor - Xiao Yan, Xiao Gang, Xiao Yi all became emperors, and Xiao Yi is the most talented one of the four.

Xiao Yi this person is not only erudite, but also calligraphy and painting attainments are very profound, now handed down "Gong Gong Tu" is one of this person's representative works, the characters painted in the painting are vivid, vivid, although it is a broken painting, but its artistic value and academic value are still very high, although not as Song Huizong Zhao Ji to create' Thin gold body', but when it comes to the level of calligraphy and painting, Zhao Ji is difficult to follow, it can be said that there is absolutely no one among the hundreds of emperors in China, and what is more admirable is that this person's music level is also highly attained, and the level of Go is at least nine dan if the level of contemporary judgment is used; he is also a researcher of Zhou Yi, and the most surprising thing is that he has also written a book of war, and he is also a master of 'Soma', it can almost be said that this person has reached the peak of literature and art, and later generations are self-styled' The old man Qianlong's old man is simply not enough to lift Xiao Yi's shoes in these aspects.

However, this person has become a dead monarch who is not the king of the dead country, which is sad and lamentable, which also confirms from the side that the most awesome is the literati, and the most stupid is also the truth of the literati.

Xiao Yi this person is not only the king of the country, but also did the heinous death of the country, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, this person almost collected all the books at that time to reach 140,000 volumes, but when the city was broken, all these books were burned, most of them are lonely, if it were not for China's vast land, the national soul was burned, and it was even more outrageous that he almost spared no effort to mutilate his relatives, unscrupulous means, Jin Yong's Yue Buqun is completely the level of kindergarten compared to him, The deaths of his father Xiao Yan and elder brother Xiao Gang were all related to him, and the fall of the Xiao family dynasty was caused by him.

The painting that is now being auctioned - "Deer Picture" is Xiao Yi's masterpiece, although there is no knowledge, but after Li Mobai has seen it, he is very sure that this is Xiao Yi's work, after all, the "Golden Stone Treasure" left by the old Li family is not a good thing.

Although Li Mobai despises his deeds, but this person's knowledge and talent, Li Mobai is still quite admired, but it is such a famous painting, but it ended up with a fate that no one knows in later generations, speaking of which, thanks to Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, it is Zhao Ji who led the trend of the times, and stamped his own seal and collection seal on his calligraphy and painting works, so that future generations can more easily judge the authenticity and author of calligraphy and painting works, and the seal has also become one of the abilities that later generations of literati and ink writers must have.

Although it is a silk color painting, we all know that the times are very far away, but it is very rare to know who the author of this painting is, Li Mobai happens to be a person who knows the author and can afford it, which is the highest state of the combination of learning and collection.

Li Mobai thought for a while, and saw that the price had basically stabilized at 1 million US dollars, and after thinking about it, let Lao Mei get a little cheaper, and directly bid 1.3 million yuan, and put this painting in his pocket, which caused everyone to be amazed.

However, those who are familiar with Li Mobai know that Li Mobai has always had the highest interest in calligraphy and painting, and it is normal to win this painting.

Successfully won the painting, Li Mobai leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, as if nothing had happened just now, and he didn't realize that spending more than 1 million dollars was a big deal.

At this time, all the auctions were bronze, all of which were objects before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but Li Mobai was not much interested, the value of bronzes lies more in historical research, and the artistic value is not high, only things with inscriptions can be regarded as heavy weapons, of course, bronzes with inscriptions not only have extraordinary historical research value, but also have immeasurable artistic value.

The auctioneer and all the buyers noticed Li Mobai, but Li Mobai didn't make a move for a long time, and gradually forgot about Li Mobai, after all, Li Mobai only made a price, many thought that Li Mobai was going to stage a good show of eating bronzes again, Li Mobai was indifferent, and couldn't help but be quite surprised, and buyers from China were also quite happy.

Although this is an ordinary auction, it has attracted many buyers and media for no other reason, that is, because of the grand finale, the largest bronze tripod in the world, is the Hou (or read si) Mu Ding Ding, that is, the first named Si Mu Dafang Ding.

The weight of Simuxu Dafang Ding reaches 832 kilograms, up to 133 centimeters, the mouth length is 110 centimeters, the width is 70 centimeters, people can feel a solemn deterrent at first sight, but unfortunately a tripod ear was sawed off by the local villagers, during the Anti-Japanese War, there were cultural relics merchants who bid 200,000 silver dollars to buy this tripod, which shows its value.

Because the size of this tripod is too big, the cultural relics dealer asked the villagers to take this tripod into 4 to 10 pieces, although the villagers were tempted, but more worried that after sawing open, the cultural relics dealer refused to pay, but fortunately the villagers were cautious, this tripod except for the loss of an ear, finally kept intact.

And now the auction of this big tripod is only 520 kilograms, but it is just as eye-catching, but the origin of this tripod is unknown, and it is not a pit, there are many people in the circle who think it is fabricated, and it is said that the Chinese seller also thought about donating to the domestic museum, but was identified as a fake and gave up, so the seller was angry and sent to the auction.

You can't blame the domestic experts, the performance of this Zunding is a bit too good, it can almost be said to be perfect, and the eyes of experts can not be compared with carbon 14 detection, and the current fake merchants have already solved this problem, and carbon 14 and other scientific instruments are also difficult to detect.

After Li Mobai saw this tripod, he was also very surprised, it was so well preserved, the black lacquer body of the tripod made people look as charming as the dark night sky at a glance, this big tripod is hemispherical, the three-legged bulging belly, the pattern of the abdomen is exquisite, and the image is realistic.

In particular, what surprised Li Mobai was that there were 72 lines and 989 characters in the ding, with clear strokes, rigorous postures, both square and round, strict and dignified, and the layout was staggered and full of dynamic rhythmic beauty, but with Li Mobai's research on Zhong Dingwen, he could only know one-twelfth of them, and it was no wonder that it was considered a fabrication.

Some people think it is a fake, naturally some people think it is a genuine work, the industry is also arguing about it, China's archaeology is relatively foreign countries, it can be said that it is several times more rigorous, just like last year Henan announced the discovery of Cao Ying's tomb, for a while the academic community debated, the media around the world is even more fueled, different opinions, and finally it is not done, but if it is abroad, it is definitely a big discovery that has caused a sensation in the world, and even has begun to apply for the World Heritage Site, this aspect is the history of foreign devils is short, There is not much glorious history in history that deserves to be written about, and on the other hand, it is also because of the different methods of archaeological evidence.

Li Mobai spent most of the day pondering this big ding, he couldn't eat it thoroughly, Li Mobai couldn't eat it thoroughly, not to mention the domestic experts, although Li Mobai stated that it was not obvious in the circle, in fact, there were not many experts who could compare with Li Mobai, and Li Mobai's family study Li Mobai didn't dare to say everything, but he also learned seven or eight out of ten.

Although Li Mobai seems to be closing his eyes at this time, in fact, he is still thinking about the origin of this big tripod, in terms of Li Mobai's experience, this big tripod should be the style of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, especially the ornamentation and inscriptions, the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty have relatively few words, even if the first national treasure is the mother of the tripod, there are only three words of 'the mother of the horse', the inscription on the tripod began in the late Shang period and developed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which has been recognized by the academic community.

After reading the inscription above, Li Mobai was also confused, and his heart was quite shocked, although the words identified by the Li family study are much higher than the current academic circles, but Li Mobai has not sorted it out, and he has not eaten it all, what makes Li Mobai surprised and puzzled is that there are still many words on this inscription that Li Mobai saw for the first time, even if the information handed down by the Li family has not been found.

Just when Li Mobai closed his eyes and thought, the auctioneer also announced the start of the auction of this big ding, Li Mobai still leaned on the stool and did not open his eyes, but what surprised Li Mobai was that the first bidder was himself, although there were many buyers on the scene, but there were not many real bidders, they were all waiting and watching.

In addition to his own bid, the foreign devils did not bid, they were all waiting, Li Mobai would not bid at this time, he was also waiting, and after a while, finally a buyer from China made a bid, but he added 50,000 US dollars to his bid - 2.05 million.

Bronzes have always been very popular in the international market,2 but the price of 2 million is also considered a high price, the highest price of the bronze auction is the 12 million US dollar knife of the 'bronze wrong gold inlaid turquoise tapir' auctioned in London in 2007, and then the 9.24 million US dollars created by the body of the 'Dish Tian Quanfang Wei' in 2001 retreated to the top of the list, followed by the late Shang Dynasty in 2007' Bronze with lid Fang Hui '8.1 million US dollars is firmly in the top spot, as for the number of lots reaching 10 million yuan, there are not a few, in the past decade Chinese bronzes in overseas markets auction turnover of about 300 million to 500 million US dollars.

In terms of price, the price of this 2.05 million US knife is not low, but it is cheap compared to this tripod and can not be cheaper, of course, the premise is that this tripod must be real, not a fabricated fake, there has been such a thing in China, the Forbidden City bronze experts unanimously believe that it is a genuine overseas return to the national treasure, but it was degraded to a fake by the Cultural Relics Bureau, and finally the shooting was withdrawn, and the whole incident became a farce.

The auctioneer did not expect that the last finale of the lot turned out to be a little cold, foreigners used instruments to test as genuine, but the myth of instrument testing in the domestic circle has long been shattered, but the foreign devils never thought of it, not to mention that Sotheby and Carls' did not dare to put it up for auction, and let a little-known auction company auction it auction, which was originally a blow to the confidence of Chinese buyers.

Li Mobai saw the phenomenon of the cold field, but his heart was happy, and he secretly said that although I can't understand it, what I can't understand is the text on it, not the super tripod itself, this big tripod is definitely genuine, but it lacks credible inheritance.

The auctioneer was also a little anxious, but there were few responders, and after he made a bid, he no longer bid, and he was muttering in his heart, it seems that most of the Chinese buyers also think that this is a fake, if it is really a fake, then it will be a big loss, more than 2 million US dollars is not a yuan.

The Chinese buyer who bid is even more muttering in his heart at this time, how can this be the case, is it really a fake, isn't there a lot of people picking up the real thing, why is there no one scrambling, but don't be a fake in your hands.

People have a herd mentality, now many rich people vassal elegant play collection, or in order to add value to play collection, mostly by observing who is competing for this collection, if the circle of famous people, will be happy to eat at a high price, this is to borrow other people's eyes, reduce the possibility of buying fakes.

Li Mobai still didn't open his eyes, and let the auctioneer flicker, but he just didn't bid, the time had not come, and he didn't want to increase the price of this big tripod because of his premature intervention.

There are buyers who know Li Mobai, and they are paying attention to Li Mobai, but seeing that Li Mobai is still closing his eyes and recuperating, he is also a little inexplicable in his heart, how indifferent is he, does he want to make a move at the last moment or is not optimistic at all"

The buyer is silent, and the auctioneer is helpless, although even if the price of this Dading reaches tens of millions of US dollars, it is considered normal, nearly a thousand inscriptions are not a joke, and the weight reaches 520 kilograms of complete vessels, but the market does not buy it, fortunately, there are always people bidding, in 2007, there was an incident of unsold bronze heavy weapons with an estimated value of more than 3 million US dollars, and now at least there is no unsuccessful auction.

The helpless auctioneer had to count down for a few seconds, just when the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, Li Mobai suddenly raised his card, couldn't help but get excited, finally someone made a move, these Chinese are really hateful, originally the Chinese have always been a big hand to fight, today is actually indifferent, until the last moment, it is really hateful.

However, seeing Li Mobai's offer, the auctioneer suddenly wilted, and only added 50,000 yuan, this is not a joke, but at least it is higher than the price just now, so he had to quote Li Mobai's price passionately.

Originally, everyone thought that Li Mobai's move would be a big deal, but they found that Li Mobai only added 50,000 yuan conservatively, and suddenly felt a little weird in his heart.

As Li Mobai's offer broke the calm, everyone started to think about a question with their wisdom, some people were thinking that maybe it was a genuine work, whether to buy it; Some people are thinking that they have been cold, but there is a wronged boss who will be a substitute for the dead, and all kinds of ideas are different at this moment.

At this time, Yue himself, who was the first to start bidding, was also a little nervous, thinking that since someone had made a bid, he would bid again, and try his confidence index, and it would be a big deal not to perform the contract at that time.

Because of Li Mobai's bid, the auctioneer began to advocate again, and when he was worried that no one responded, he saw that the first monk himself had bid, so he excitedly shouted, "2.15 million yuan!" ”

Li Mobai saw that he actually bid again, so he despised it in his heart, you still want to probe my bottom with my wind, it is completely a dream, continue to close your eyes and recuperate, let the auctioneer advocate loudly, just don't bid.

Seeing that Li Mobai returned to his indifferent appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, could it be that the Chinese deliberately seduced me to be fooled, judging by the situation of his bid, but I am not very optimistic, and the confidence index is very low.

The auctioneer was also quite helpless at this time, seeing that no one responded, he didn't bother to continue to advocate, anyway, it was a blessing that there was no unsuccessful auction, thinking of this, he began to count down for a few seconds.

I heard the auctioneer start to start a few seconds, and my mood became nervous again, and I had already begun to plan what kind of excuse to abandon the auction in the future, so as not to damage my reputation, yes, fakes, the law in the United States prohibits the sale of fakes, so I use the reason of fakes.

Just when he was planning how to abandon the shooting in his heart, Li Mobai raised his number plate again.

The auctioneer was about to collapse, he had already hated Li Mobai to death, and he said in his heart that this guy was simply a living treasure, every time he raised his card when the hammer was about to be sold, and the price increase was 50,000 yuan every time, which was really cunning.

"2.2 million yuan!"

Seeing Li Mobai raise the price again at the last moment, everyone was thinking, this kid must be inaccurate, so it will be so, and I said that my heart is also relaxed, and I still collect Western paintings in the future, Chinese antiques are really too deep, true and false, false and true, it is really brain-consuming.

The auctioneer did not continue to advocate this time, but directly started for a few seconds, but the rhythm of the seconds was also well controlled, leaving time for others to bid, and his eyes were always paying attention to the dynamics of the whole audience, but the auction was disappointed, and no one continued to increase the price.

In the end, the auctioneer dropped the hammer helplessly and shouted, "Deal!" ”

In the end, the finale of Dading was finally sold, but there were still many people who didn't react, how could it be done like this, but it was too late to have an idea at this time.

After the auction ended, reporters from China and New York poured in to ask questions to Li Mobai, but Li Mobai didn't say a word, refused to answer anyone's questions, and walked out.

"Mr. Li, do you think this Dading is genuine?"

"Mr. Li, may I ask why you took this big tripod?"

“…………”

As Li Mobai walked forward, the reporters followed behind the butt and asked, but Li Mobai walked out with a faint smile. Seeing that Li Mobai could not find valuable information here, the reporters began to interview others.

The next day, Li Mobai paid for his two lots, and then did not stop in the United States, and returned to China directly by private jet.

Just when Li Mobai was flying in the air, the domestic Internet was noisy because of this auction, and some people said that Li Mobai was a loser and spent more than 10 million yuan to buy a fake; Some people say that Li Mobai defeated Yue himself and snatched back the national treasure from Yue himself, and various opinions differ.

And the media also added fuel to the fire, especially the local reporters in New York who were very faceless, quoting the on-site buyers' statements and hyping that Li Mobai bought a fake Dading, which can be regarded as revenge for Li Mobai's refusal to interview.

Many domestic media did not know the specific situation, but they did not hesitate to reprint the news of the New York media, and even more, there were boring media who speculated about the source of Li Mobai's wealth, and adopted the analysis of "relevant experts", believing that Li Mobai's wealth should come through a mortgage loan from Huaxing Automobile, and he was the second "Wu Ying".

As soon as this news came out, it was reprinted by major media, and everyone was talking about how Li Mobai's wealth came from, whether he embezzled state-owned assets, whether he took loans from banks, and whether he raised funds from the people.

The media have spared no effort to compete for eyeballs, eyeballs are advertising, sales, who cares about morality and truth, as long as it can attract attention.

However, Li Mobai's fans were not convinced, and they refuted the media's views on the Internet to maintain Li Mobai's reputation, but Li Mobai has been silent.
