58, 400,000 starting auctions
This is the first time Wang Tian has come to the auction house, and Dekang Auction House is also the largest and most famous auction company in Binjiang.
"Hello, Boss Du."
When Du Wanbian shook hands with the man, he also took the initiative to introduce the man, "Manager Shao, this is the treasure bearer Wang Tian, and the one next to him..."
"Of course I know the Tang shopkeeper next to me, an old fellow of Tongyuan Hall."
Tang Zhiyou shook his head after hearing this, "Manager Shao, I used to work in Tongyuan Hall, but now that I am under Boss Du, we have to get to know each other again." I'm going to be a shopkeeper in the newly opened flower and bird antique shop in two days, and I'll have to take care of it a lot when the time comes. ”
"Ah, shopkeeper Tang is under Boss Du, good things and good things, congratulations. Shopkeeper Tang, don't worry, as long as you bring something, our Dekang Auction House will definitely give you a good publicity and auction a price that you are satisfied with. ”
A few people greeted each other, Wang Tian actually didn't know much about this auction, because he was new to the auction, and Wang Tian was not afraid of jokes and asked some questions first.
Then Shao Weihang told Wang Tian the history of the auction, which he didn't know if he didn't know what to say, and he was shocked when he heard it.
The original auction turned out to be an auction for women. The text is an account of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus in his book Histories, about the auction of brides in ancient Babylon. The so-called "auction bride" is an auction activity in which a marriageable woman is the auction object, and the woman is auctioned in order of beauty and health, so that the man with the highest bid wins the bid and becomes the groom.
Then came the auction of slaves, and by the time of the Roman Republic, the auction had developed unprecedentedly, and on the basis of the auction of retaining slaves, there were auctions of loot and auctions of goods. At this time, the auction has been inherited and developed for thousands of years, and only then has the current auction form.
Follow Shao Weihang to his office, at this time two experts are already waiting here, these two experts are the connoisseurs of Dekang Auction House who are in charge of appreciation and evaluation, one is surnamed Li, the other is surnamed Liu, they are both over fifty years old, Wang Tian calls them Li Lao and Liu Lao.
"Elder Li, Elder Liu, this is this treasure."
Wang Tian carefully took the mirror out of the round box and gently placed it on the table.
Li Lao and Liu Lao looked up and down, and touched each other, and Li Lao pointed the mirror at the sunlight for the next second, shook it in his hand, and smiled.
Liu Lao took over the mirror, looked at the ornaments on the back of the mirror, and nodded frequently.
"Gu Liuli doesn't say it, I believe you can all see this, it's a good baby. And the back of the mirror is decorated with the four gods and zodiac signs, turtles, dragons, phoenixes and tigers, and the beast unicorn, which are all auspicious signs, and the gossip pattern shows that this mirror is a mirror of ancient practices, and the use of divination feng shui, and these twenty-four words..."
"These twenty-four words, in my opinion, are the twenty-four solar terms, which are the pictographs of the twenty-four solar terms, of course, this is combined with the unicorn button and the gossip direction, which is to divinate your fortune for the year."
The master is really a master, and his skills are better than Tang Zhiyou's craftsmanship, and when several people listened carefully, Li Lao also said.
"This is undoubtedly a magic mirror, but I don't know if you found it, this mirror is still a magical translucent mirror, sunlight can pass through the mirror, the back of the mirror is reflected on the ground, this is a magical translucent treasure mirror, because the translucent mirror is a unique production technique in the Han Dynasty, and then it was lost, I know that the Tao seems to be in addition to your side, there is only another side in the world of Lu in the Beijing Museum."
Tang Zhiyou knew this, nodded and said, "We also think that this is the translucent mirror of the Han Dynasty, but I don't know, how much is the translucent glass mirror of the Han Dynasty?" ”
"I don't know what little brother you want to sell this magic mirror, but I can say that your mirror will definitely sell at a good price that you didn't expect."
Li Lao's words made Wang Tian a little confused, and Liu Lao was also giggling on the side, and he couldn't stop nodding his head to Wang Tian.
"Elder Li, Elder Liu, I don't know what you mean? Are you saying that my mirror can be photographed at a very good price? ”
"Yes."
Tang Zhiyou and Du Wanbian also raised their interest, because looking at the appearance of the two, it seems that there is something else to say about this mirror.
"Elder Liu, Elder Li, and Friends of Tang take the liberty of asking, what is the preliminary auction price of the two of you for this mirror?"
"Just this ancient glass translucent mirror, let's start shooting from 400,000, what do you think, Lao Li?"
As soon as Liu Lao's words came out, Du Wanbian, Tang Zhiyou and Wang Tian were all stunned, but in the next second, Li Lao made several people even more stunned.
"I think 400,000 is a bit less, but it's okay, it is estimated that there will be 800,000 if it is auctioned off at the very end."
"Eight hundred thousand?"
Wang Tian did hear Li Lao say 800,000, he looked at Tang Zhiyou and Du Wanbian in disbelief, and found that these two people also looked at Li Lao with puzzled expressions.
"Elder Li, please also make it clear why the auction price of this magic mirror is so high, because in my opinion, between 300,000 and 500,000 is about the same, more than 500,000..."
Tang Zhiyou's judgment was right, the glass mirror is only a hundred thousand on one side, even if Wang Tian is a translucent mirror and the decoration is not bad, but 500,000 is not enough, how does Li Lao think it will be worth 800,000?
Li Lao smiled, waved his hand and asked Liu Lao to speak, both of them are masters, which is also a sign of Li Lao's humility.
Liu Lao took the lead and said, "Because this is a feng shui magic weapon." The unicorn, four elephants, and zodiac patterns on the back of the mirror are what we often call Rui beasts, and Bagua refers to the eight directions and the world. And glaze in ancient times, there is also a legend that the home is to the daughter, and the official is to the prime minister, if you cut these to see, the value is really not so big, but it can be comprehensively gathered together, it must be worth a lot. ”
"It is rumored that Tao Zhugong, the folk god of wealth, is Fan Li, and he has a cornucopia, which is made of glass. And the glass is translucent, so some people call the glass Xi Shi tears, and think that the glass is a token of the God of Wealth that gathers wealth and blessings. This mirror is a rui beast again, and it is a glass again, the implication is very obvious, it is nothing more than to use the rui beast to town the house, and to gather wealth and fortune in all directions with colored glass. Such a feng shui instrument, in ancient times, it is estimated that only emperors and generals are qualified to use it. Emperors and generals..."
Speaking of this, Liu Lao deliberately paused, which also gave Wang Tian the time to adjust his breathing, because Liu Lao clearly saw that Wang Tian's body was trembling gently.
"The feng shui magic weapon of the emperor and the general."
