0021 Halfway out to bite the gold
Although it is impossible to sell for millions of this painting taken by Feng Junshan, there are still more than 200,000 yuan.
Zhou Zhou Ming still wanted to intervene just now, but he just thought that he had so much money in his pocket, and if he competed with others, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out for two rounds, so he didn't make a move. And Feng Junshan can win at such a low price, one is that Dong Hao is not very famous, and many people have never even heard of it, and the other is that Feng Junshan has a big face, and the buyers present only symbolically put out the price once and no longer compete.
Of course, this is not to say that Feng Junshan has no opponents today. On the contrary, the competition in the back will be more intense, because the face has already been given to Feng Junshan once, and then there is no need to worry about anything, and then bid again, but it is not so polite.
Sure enough, the next round of fighting was even more intense, especially Feng Junshan's price increase regardless of the cost, which made everyone secretly complain.
Feng Junshan bought these calligraphy and paintings for only one purpose, that is, to collect. The reason, one is liking; The other is investment, which makes long-term money and does not care about temporary profits and losses. Anyway, even if it doesn't increase in value too much, it won't depreciate too much, which is a very good investment and financial management project.
So Feng Junshan had no scruples when he paid money, so that a group of buyers present complained bitterly, but he was happy with the seller, and the middle-aged seller's eyes looked at Feng Junshan, which was called a liking, just like seeing the God of Wealth.
However, in the two rounds of bidding, Feng Junshan only shot three times, and only took two paintings, of course, they are all genuine, with Zhou Ming's guidance, how could he buy a fake?
It's a pity that Zhou Zhou Ming looked greedy on the sidelines and wanted to participate, but the capital was insufficient, as far as the money on him was concerned, it was possible to win one or two pieces at once, but he always felt that it was better to leave some capital, so he kept the impulse in his heart and taught Ling'er to paint on the side, and only after the end of the first round of bidding did he go to see the new objects.
The family's collection is really a lot, but it's a pity that the owner didn't let Zhou Ming and them enter the door to see the goods, and all of them were held in the courtyard. They can only listen to the seller, what the seller takes, what they look at.
It wasn't until the fifth round that the objects taken out by the seller were finally no longer calligraphy and paintings, but some miscellaneous objects, such as incense burners, Buddha statues, bronze beasts, and a pair of flower goblets. And Zhou Zhouming's eyes fell on the incense burner for a long time and he was reluctant to take it away, and there was only one thought in his heart at that time, he must take this thing, even if he borrowed money.
This incense burner is not big, the diameter is less than 15 centimeters, the height is not more than 20 centimeters, the halberd-shaped ears, the belly of the drum, the mouth edge is slightly inclined outward, and the ring foot shrinks inward, it is the copper halberd ear ring foot furnace recorded in the Xuande furnace spectrum.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Zhou Ming quietly flipped the small stove over, and printed the four italics of "Kangxi Year" under the bottom foot. It is a Xuande bronze ware in the Kangxi period, and after discovering this, Zhou Ming felt a little regretful in his heart, but he also knew that the real Xuande furnace was very rare, and it was normal to encounter imitations.
Speaking of which, most of the Xuande furnaces circulating in the market now are imitations, that is, imitations in later generations. But don't think that the imitation Xuande furnace is not worth much, on the contrary, the imitation furnace of the boutique is still very popular, as long as the quality is good, the price of millions and millions is not a problem at all.
Now what people call Xuande furnace not only refers to the copper furnace manufactured in the Xuande period, but also includes the imitations of later generations, such as the imitation of Xuande contemporary, the imitation of the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the imitation of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the imitation of the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the imitation of the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.
The real Xuande furnace has belonged to the state of price and no market in ancient times, and people at that time can only retreat to the second best place to collect some high-imitation Xuande furnaces. From the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, because the manufacturing process has not been lost, some of the imitation of the high-quality Xuande furnace at that time were almost fake.
And the copper furnace made in front of Zhou Ming in Kangxi is a high-imitation Xuande furnace.
Looking at this small copper furnace, Zhou Zhou Ming reached out and touched the dust on the furnace body, revealing the white, yellow and red color of the tang pear on the furnace body, which looked really the same as the skin of the tang pear, which seemed to be rough but was actually smooth, and there were some snowflake-like golden lusters embedded inside, which was the Peugeot containing gold and silver in the copper furnace.
Zhou Zhou Ming put this copper furnace in his ear and flicked it gently, making a very pleasant buzzing sound, thick and melodious, although the sound is not one of the identification standards of the Xuande furnace, but Zhou Ming still played it several times, and then quietly put the small stove back on the table and stepped aside.
However, although people retreated, their eyes were always locked on this small stove intentionally or unintentionally, nervously observing the reactions of other buyers when they saw this small stove. It's just that when everyone has seen it, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't see anything unusual from the expressions of these people, after all, they are all experts, and they rarely show special expressions when they look at things.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming felt a little more apprehensive in his heart, closed his eyes and took a deep breath to try to calm himself down, and whispered to Feng Junshan: "Brother Feng, I want that little stove." ”
"Oh?" Feng Junshan glanced at Zhou Ming in surprise, "The stove is good, but it's just an imitation, and it's worth thirty or fifty thousand at most, what do you want it to do?" ”
Zhou Mingyan secretly laughed when he heard this, thirty or fifty thousand? It's more than 10 times more. This stove is an imitation, yes, anyone can see that it is an imitation, it is imitated during the Kangxi period, because as long as it is not the batch of stoves made in Xuande in three years, it is an imitation, even if it is made by Wu Bangzuo himself, it cannot be said to be genuine.
The real Xuande furnace is the 3,000 or 5,000 copper furnaces ordered by Emperor Xuande in the third year of Xuande, and anyone else can not say that the furnace that anyone makes at any time can be said to be the real Xuande furnace. Even if Wu Bangzuo, who was in charge of making the Xuande furnace at that time, took over the private work and used the same material to make the furnace according to the original process, it was also an imitation.
So don't hear that it's an imitation and feel bad, the high-imitation Xuande furnace, its craftsmanship level and collection value are not even weaker than the real Xuande. At this time, the stove on the table is a high imitation, the material is mixed with gold and silver twelve refining wind grinding copper, the process is the authentic lost wax casting process, and the shape is the same as the real Xuande furnace.
If there is anything different from the Xuande furnace, it is the bottom model, the bottom section is indeed a little down in price, if it is replaced with the "Ming Xuande year" or "Xuande year" model, this furnace can really be sent to the auction house with a fake and real, and it is even possible to auction the price of three or five million.
Now, Zhou Ming has priced this stove between one million and one and a half million. The first is the problem of style, and the second is that this stove can't see the inheritance, I don't know where it came from, who cast it, and there are no celebrities who have collected it, so although the quality of this stove is good, it is really difficult to sell it at a too high price.
However, the price of more than one million is already sky-high for Zhou Ming. If he can really sell it smoothly, he can directly step into the millionaire business. This is really unthinkable for him, who could only eat soy sauce boiled noodles three days ago.
Of course, there is also a premise that he can take down this small stove at a suitable price, preferably within 200,000, if it is too high, he will have to borrow money, and there is nothing to be gained.
After everyone finished reading it, the middle-aged seller who was a guest auctioneer began to let everyone shout again. The first to shoot was the pair of bronze goblets, which were taken by Boss Liu at a price of 80,000 yuan, which was considered to be a profit. A statue of Tara Buddha was also sold for 110,000 yuan, and the imitation bronze tiger was also sold for 190,000 yuan.
Seeing this, Zhou Ming's heart hung up, although these people have bid, but the competition is not very strong, generally to more than 100,000 people almost no longer compete, you must know that the market price of the Tara Buddha just now can reach about 500,000, although it may also be because everyone does not know the goods.
But Zhou Ming was still a little worried, whether these people were holding back their energy and aiming at this Xuande furnace of the Kangxi year.
However, when it was the turn of this Xuande furnace, Zhou Zhou Ming was relieved, because there were few people bidding at all.
"Everyone, this is the Xuande furnace, everyone hurry up and bid," the middle-aged man hurriedly shouted when he saw that no one was bidding.
At this time, Feng Junshan on the side smiled, "It's just an imitation, and it's not a good imitation, who is rare, someone wants to take it away quickly, no one wants to change the next round, hurry up and wait until it gets dark to have two more rounds." ”
When Feng Junshan's words fell, everyone shrugged their shoulders, but no one made a bid.
Zhou Ming was secretly happy when he saw this, and quietly gave a thumbs up to Feng Junshan, and then made a lazy posture, "Three thousand yuan, give it to me." ”
"Three thousand? Too little, right? The middle-aged man was visibly reluctant.
"I'll give you five thousand," an old man followed unhurriedly.
Hearing this voice, everyone didn't react, but Zhou Ming was startled, could it be that this old man knew that this stove was a good thing? But looking at the old man's expression, it seemed that there was nothing abnormal.
After thinking about it, Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Then I'll pay 10,000, this price should be more reasonable." ”
"One in case," said the bespectacled old man, still unhurriedly.
Zhou Ming secretly frowned, and shouted without hesitation: "Twenty-two," which is exactly twice as much as the old man.
"Twenty-three thousand," the old man seemed to want to try to meet Zhou Ming head-on, but he was still in that unhurried manner.
