Chapter 521: Lake Stone Twin Bird Diagram
"Thirty-seven million...... There is no higher one...... 37 million first ...... 37 million for the third time, well, this coffin belongs to 68 good bidders...... Congratulations to this gentleman, you have finally won the bid for tonight......"
The auctioneer on the stage was actively trying to sensationalize, and there was a sigh from the audience at this time.
Some people are secretly envious of those two sons, while some people are scolding in their hearts, and some people are even more ill-intentioned, thinking about waiting to see these two people lose money.
But at this time, if these two people were not wearing masks on their faces, I am afraid that anyone could see their smug expressions.
Of course, although these two people are very happy in their hearts, they also have a little mustard.
And this mustard comes from the guy who was defeated by their bidding before, and the corner of his mouth has a mocking smile.
As soon as they saw such a smile, these two people were on fire in their hearts, Nima's, dare to pretend to be an uncle in front of Lao Tzu if they have no money?
Then I thought about it, this coffin could have been won for 30 million, but at that critical time, this guy came out to disrupt the situation, if it weren't for him, the two of them would not have spent an extra 7 million.
Although this amount of money is nothing to them, but when they think of the unjust money they spent because of this guy, these two people are in their hearts for a while.
When they glared at Jin Muchen's guy with vicious eyes, that guy kept looking ahead and never turned his head again.
Damn, do you think you can get out of the way? Wait a minute, the auction ends. I'll let you see. Is the $37 million we spent worth it?
It doesn't matter if it's not worth it. Anyway, the Charlie family has a relationship in the UK, so when the time comes, they can contact the museum over there and spend some money to collect this thing.
Anyway, they often operate such things.
If they get something good, they contact the British side, and if they buy it cheaply, then they can make the British side pay a little less. It's a win-win for everyone.
They make the difference, and the people in the British museum can also earn a reputation for discernment, and it is also an ability to buy good things at a low price.
If the price of the things they buy here is high, then they can play the emotional card with the people over there, anyway, the money from those museums is from the funds behind them.
Those people don't care about spending this money, and everyone can take advantage of the museum's funds, and everyone can make money from both. The museum is just turning a blind eye.
Such a 'loss' is not a fart at all for the deep-pocketed chaebols behind the museum. That's why the museum's procurement isn't a big deal, as long as it's not too excessive, it's generally hello, hello, hello, everyone.
This kind of thing, they have been operating more than once or twice, so they are not afraid of missing at all.
Anyway, no matter what was in the coffin, as long as the thing was not too inferior, they all had to make money, even if there was nothing, there was such a corpse, they could also have a way, pack the corpse, work beautifully, make up a beautiful story, and then sell it to the British.
So this business, no matter what they do, they will make a profit without losing money.
When the time comes to open the coffin and find out what is inside, they want to see what else that guy can be proud of in front of him?
As for him, this SB, who doesn't know that there are rampant fakes of Hongshan ancient jade on the market now, he actually bought it for three yuan, although the money spent is not much, but it is equivalent to throwing money into the water!
Wait a while, and after the auction is over, be sure to laugh at him.
The son of the Ma family here, and Charlie are discussing the arrangement in a low voice, but Jin Muchen here doesn't have the heart to care about what those two people are thinking.
At this time, he had once again focused his attention on the booth, and although the coffin had been auctioned off, there were other things to be auctioned one after another.
Among them, there is the Chinese painting of the Bada Shanren that he cares about very much, which has been verified by his keen eyes, absolutely genuine, good things, and absolutely not to be missed.
At this time, because the coffin had been auctioned off just now, the auction scene was a little sluggish, although there were some good things up, but everyone seemed to have no energy.
The organizers have long expected such a situation and have a lot of experience in dealing with it, because this period is due to everyone's mental exhaustion.
A large part of everyone's passion has been released in the auction of the coffin just now, and if you come up with something good at this time, it may not be able to arouse everyone's interest.
So it's better to take out something to amuse at this time, and take out the good things when the atmosphere has picked up in the warm field.
As a result, some inconspicuous and not too expensive lots were brought up one after another.
But at this time, it is obvious that everyone's mood is not too high, and those things are indeed not ranked, so several lots are unsold.
It was also at this time that Jin Muchen finally waited for the painting of the Bada Shanren that he had been paying attention to to be brought up.
The painting was brought up at this time, and it was obvious that the organizers either didn't pay much attention to the painting, or they were not sure whether the painting was real or fake.
But looking at the reaction of the audience, it is obvious that the big guy's attitude towards this painting is the same as that of those pieces of Hongshan ancient jade before, and he is not very optimistic.
"Okay, the painting I picked up now is the "Lake Stone and Two Birds" of the great painter Bada Shanren in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, this painting ......"
The auctioneer on the stage was introducing the painting very quickly at this time, but listening to his dry tone and emotions, it was obvious that he was not particularly optimistic about the painting.
As soon as Jin Muchen saw his attitude and listened to his introduction, he knew that this painting seemed to have a door!
This is a painting of Bada Shanren, I really don't understand, how can these guys treat this famous artist's work like this?
Jin Muchen really thinks about it more and more strangely, you must know that in ancient Chinese landscape paintings, Bada Shanren can be said to be a generation of grandmasters of the cardigan school.
His unique painting style, as well as the meaning in his paintings, have been imitated by countless later generations.
And it is precisely by virtue of his different painting style that he has created a freehand landscape painting from landscape painting!
And the emergence of this landscape freehand painting is also of unparalleled significance to Chinese traditional painting, because the emergence of this branch means that our Chinese traditional painting has taken a step forward and began to appear Impressionist paintings.
Therefore, according to our current popular saying, this landscape freehand painting is the impressionism in Chinese painting, and when you look at such a freehand painting, there are often a thousand different impressions and feelings after a thousand people see it.
That's where this kind of freehand painting comes in!
However, only after the Bada Shanren, there is no painter who can paint a landscape freehand painting close to his painting style and skills, so the paintings of the Bada Shanren are now very sought after in the market.
His paintings, because of their unique style and far-reaching meaning, are not only liked by Chinese, but also by foreign devils.
Therefore, in recent years, whenever his paintings appear at auction, they often become the final finale, and the transaction price is almost rarely less than 40 million yuan.
The paintings of this Bada Shanren are so good, of course, they are inseparable from the ups and downs of his life.
The origin of this Bada Shanren is actually not small, he is the seventeenth son of Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the ninth grandson of Ningxian King Zhu Quanfeng in Nanchang, and his name is Peng Zu in the genealogy.
At the age of eight, he began to receive artistic training under his father's instruction, and showed a talent for painting from an early age.
This little prince has liked the calligraphy and painting of the calligraphy master Dong Qichang since he was a child.
When he was ten years old, he began to study in Zongxue, and when he was bullied by his classmates, he secretly painted a picture to scold others, and since then he has begun to show his talent for painting.
And this guy is still an outlier in the royal family, you must know that the royal family of the Ming Dynasty at that time was not allowed to participate in the scientific examination.
But this guy actually signed up to participate in the scientific examination when he was 16 years old, and if the royal family wants to participate in the imperial examination, he will be removed from the Zongren Mansion Chronicle.
How can ordinary people have the courage to do this, but this guy really did it, so that the name Zhu Tong can't be used.
At that time, the examiner laughed at his two big ears, and actually gave him a nickname, called "Zhu Qi", this guy actually endured it, and after the imperial examination, he also used the name "Zhu Qi" several times.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, on March 19, 1644, his incompetent cousin, Emperor Chongzhen hung himself in the coal mountain of the capital, and Li Zicheng ascended the throne on the same day.
In the same year, Li Chuang, who was carried away by the victory, was killed by Dolgon in Shanhaiguan, and in October of that year, Shunzhi ascended the throne in the capital and became the emperor, and changed the name of the country to "Daqing".
On April 25 of the lunar calendar of the following year, the Qing army broke through Yangzhou and ordered a massacre for ten days. This is the famous "Yangzhou Ten Days" in history.
On the fourth day of the seventh month, July 26 and August 16 of the same year, the Qing army carried out three massacres in Jiading, which is the famous "Jiading Three Massacres" in history.
Because of these two tragedies, when Zhu Tong was 19 years old, he followed his family from Nanchang to Hongya Mountain to avoid disaster.
Later, a series of Ming Dynasty clans were slaughtered by the Manchus, and Zhu Tong had to choose to leave home in order to protect his family and his pregnant wife.
It's a pity that he still failed to do so, when he was 22 years old, his wife and children died, and since then he has become a real countryless and homeless person! (To be continued......)
