Chapter 204 The Qin and Xiao Ensemble Gather in the Capital
Hearing Hu Lao's excited voice, Li Mobai was not too surprised, "Congratulations to Hu Lao!" ”
"Mo Bai, don't be polite to me, it's all your credit!" Hu Lao smiled, and his mood was obviously very good, "Sure enough, I found the entrance secret passage, although there are still mechanisms inside, but all of them have been solved, and now they are on track." ”
After Li Mobai chatted with Old Man Hu, after eating, he began to think about the autumn auction, he had seen the auction albums of major companies, and found a lot of good things, especially Guardian had a guqin auction, which made Li Mobai quite excited, as for the fakes of Jumbo Xuan, Li Mobai also knew in his heart, but this still needs to be seen with his own eyes at the preview to be sure.
The next day, after going to the excavation site again, I found that as Li Mobai guessed, there was a secret passage under the coffin, and the mechanism in the secret passage had already been cracked.
Seeing the completion of his task, Li Mobai said goodbye to Hu Lao, and went to the capital again, the preview of the autumn auction had to be seen, the old house also needed to be rebuilt, and the reconstruction needed to find an ancient construction company, and the architectural drawings of the houses of the same scale in the year also had to find someone to get them as a reference, and I had a headache when I thought about it.
When I arrived in the capital, it was the middle of the night, I found a hotel to stay in, took a hot bath, and Li Mobai lay down and slept until the next day.
In recent years, the sky-high prices of domestic antique auctions are basically created by Jiade, and the annual auction volume has already crossed the 10 billion yuan mark, which can be said to be a giant crocodile in the domestic auction industry.
Secondly, the scale of Baoli auction is also relatively large, enjoying a high reputation in the industry, and sky-high auctions also appear from time to time.
The scale of other companies is relatively small, but there are also many high-quality products that will appear, after all, each company has the advantages of each company, but Li Mobai except for himself wants to take a few guqins from Shanshou, and the rest is to win the fakes sold by Zhenbaoxuan.
After getting up and eating early, Li Mobai felt that the family's search for fakes was too passive, so he took the initiative to face it. Thinking of this, he and Shangshan made a phone call, and after saying their thoughts, the two hit it off, ready to take the initiative, and agreed to meet in the capital the next day, and then called Wu Ru, He Yanran and others, and asked them to rush to the capital tomorrow to discuss a major matter.
Changing his strategy towards Zhenbaoxuan, Li Mobai suddenly felt relaxed, so he took Xiaobai to see the preview of Jiade's guqin auction.
A total of 17 guqins were exhibited in this guqin exhibition, including the famous Tang Dynasty qin 'Great Sage Relic' sold by the famous collector Wang Lao in Beijing in 03 years with 8.91 million, Li Mobai also came to this bed of qin, which can be said to be the most famous bed of guqin in the collection. As soon as he walked into the exhibition hall, Li Mobai walked directly to the booth of this bed of piano, the "Great Sage Relic Sound" piano is Fuxi style, and he observed that this piano is a paulownia tire, the antlers are painted gray, the color is purple like a chestnut shell, the golden emblem and jade, the round dragon pool, the flat round phoenix swamp, seeing this bed of piano, Li Mobai feels that every cell in the blood is active several times.
Seeing this bed of piano, Li Mobai remembered the 'Ape Howling Qingluo' given to him by Jiang Xuhan, and his heart was also quite moved, so he thought about solving the Zhenbaoxuan and autumn auctions, and then went to the United Kingdom to see this girl.
After reading this bed of piano, Li Mobai looked down one by one, and found that they were all quite good pianos, each bed made himself greedy, it took most of the day, Li Mobai finally took a complete look at the 17 beds of guqin, calculated the value, Li Mobai estimated that there is no 100 million, it is difficult to win this bed 'Great Sage Relic', and the total price of 17 beds of piano will not be less than 300 million yuan.
After thinking about it, Li Mobai decided to bloom in an all-round way, and every bed had to compete, these pianos could only be exchanged for generators in their own hands, and those collectors bought them back were locked in a safe, which was nothing more than showing off their wealth, but ruining the life of the guqin.
Thinking of this, Li Mobai couldn't help but think of a funny and angry thing, during the spring auction in 03, the famous piano of the Tang Dynasty 'Jiuxiao Huanpei' was won by a seller for 3.46 million, creating the highest price at that time, but half a year later, the 'Great Sage's Voice' broke this record with 8.91 million, and it can be said that the buyers at that time chose a super big leak.
The next more angry thing is that the collector held a piano tasting meeting in the injury, and invited well-known guqin masters from all over the country to gather and appreciate the qin, and the result is ridiculous that the evaluation given after trying it turned out to be "in vain", "disappointing" and "sound average", and then, when Tsinghua professor Mr. Li Xiangting returned to China to personally try the piano to find that this piano is like an old friend reunion, a little press to play, its one, two, three strings are magnificent, moist, majestic, deep and abnormal, and the volume is much stronger than the ancient good qin that has been seen, The five, six, and seven strings are like the volume of the common ancient medium-quality piano, which appears ordinary, and after playing to three hours, all the strings come out, and the six or seven strings have become loose, deep, and moist.
Thinking of this, Li Mobai was even more determined to take down most of the qin, the guqin is alive, if it is locked in the safe, it is completely a desecration of the qin, such as the Beijing Palace Museum, the Beijing History Museum, the Taipei Palace Museum and other treasured national treasure-level famous pianos, which must not be touched, it seems to be protection, but in fact it is the end of the life of the qin.
A good piano, especially a good piano with history, is by no means just a person can play it to the fullest, many times just like the 'Nine Heavens Ring Pei' in Shanghai, the guqin has always been the qin of the literati, not the qin of craftsmen and artists, it needs to have a profound cultural literacy, ideological connotation in order to give full play to the timbre of the qin.
In fact, Li Mobai does not have to win the great sage's legacy, other pianos Li Mobai likes, from the perspective of production technology, the quality of the piano is indeed different, but this is not the most important, for the pianist with profound cultural accomplishment, the pro itself is not important, the important thing is people's thoughts and quality.
Some people may think that the guqin is an elegant thing, and those who are good at playing the qin are also elegant people, but in fact it is not the case, and it is the qin that is elegant, not a person.
After watching the preview of the guqin, Li Mobai returned to the hotel, took out the famous piano 'Ape Howling Qingluo', stroked the qin and pressed it lightly, and a series of beautiful notes sprinkled all over the room, which was completely the sound that floated out with the mood, but it made people sound more flavorful.
made a phone call to Jiang Suhan, who was far away in the UK, made a phone porridge, and after teasing Jiang Suhan on the phone, he played a few more tunes for Jiang Suhan before it was over.
Early the next morning, Shang Shan was the first to come to the capital, and when he entered Li Mobai's room, he saw Li Mobai's 'Ape Howling Qingluo', so he said excitedly, "Good piano, good piano, it turns out that this bed piano is in Brother Mobai's hands." ”
"Girlfriend sent it, envy it!" Li Mobai said shyly when he heard this.
"Uh, it seems that Brother Mo Bai has found a little rich woman!" Shang Shan pretended to exaggerate and said, "It seems that I am going to find a little rich woman too!" ”
"What did you just say?" Just when Shang Shan said presumptuously that he was going to find a little rich woman, a soft and gentle female voice with a hint of threat came from the door.
"Hey, Brother Mo Bai, you didn't say me!" Shang Shan hurriedly said when he heard this.
Li Mobai laughed when he heard this, and he didn't reveal it, and after saying hello to Shang Shan's daughter-in-law Feng Yi who walked in, he said, "Brother Shang Shan, have you brought Xiao over this time?" Why don't we play another song? ”
"Of course, when I came to see Brother Mo Bai, I brought my favorite piano flute." Shang Shan said affirmatively, turned his head to Feng Yi, who walked in just now, and said, "Daughter-in-law, go and bring me the qin flute." ”
"Yes!" Feng Yi agreed, but the eyes that looked at Shang Shan were implied with murderous intent, and he turned around and walked back to his room, and took Shang Shan's piano flute, "Xianggong, your flute!" ”
"Thank you, daughter-in-law!" Shang Shan took the piano and thanked Feng Yi, and said to Li Mobai heroically, "Brother Mobai, let's play a song "Smiling Proud Jianghu" together!" ”
"Okay, that's what we mean, let's laugh at the rivers and lakes in the future!"
Li Mobai said, sat in front of the piano, stroked the piano with both hands, and a song of laughter sounded, Shang Shan held the flute in both hands, and perfectly matched the sound of the piano.
For a while, it seemed that what sounded in the room was not the sound of the piano and laughter, but the sympathy between Li Mobai and Shang Shan, and for a while, Feng Yi, Xiaobai and the others were completely intoxicated by the sound of the piano.
After a long time, the sound of the piano and laughter stopped abruptly at the same time, "Happy! "Rejoice!" The two couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
"Hmph, you think you are Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, and you are still laughing at the rivers and lakes!" At this moment, He Yanran's voice sounded at the door.
"Sister Yanran, you came here so early, and I'm going to pick you up at the airport!" Li Mobai looked at He Yanran standing at the door, wearing a white dress that looked beautiful and refreshing, elegant and noble, but it was not as cold as before.
"Cut, it's better than your piano!" He Yanran revealed the fact that Li Mobai was, looked at Feng Yi and said, "Sister Feng Yi, when did you arrive?" ”
Li Mobai was exposed, and he was not embarrassed, he smiled wryly, and chatted with Shang Shan.
Before noon, Wu Ru, Xiao Jun, Wu Wanli, Lu Wen and others all arrived one after another, and Li Mobai's room became lively for a while, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
Li Mobai clapped his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said slowly, "Okay, now that we are all here, this time everyone gathers together, on the one hand, for the autumn auction, on the other hand, I want to discuss one thing with you, that is, our competitive relationship with Jumbo Xuan, and the way to win Jumbo Xuan's things at the auction makes us very passive, so I want to take the initiative." ”
