Hearing Ye Jianjun's words, Yu Fei smiled speechlessly, and sold a crystal pot worth tens of millions for more than two million, making himself nearly eight million in vain. Speaking of generosity, how can he be compared to Sotheby's auction house?

However, of course Yu Fei didn't say these words, otherwise it would be a bit cheap and good.

After asking Yu Fei for one piece, the crystal pot was also taken over and kept by Fei himself.

"I said you're not tired, aren't you? Although such a bottle is not heavy, it is also pressing, isn't it? Ye Jianjun said after playing for a while.

Where did he know that Yu Fei was not at ease. It's better to hold things in your own hands (rest assured), so that even if Sotheby wants to regret it, it will be too late. Of course, Yu Fei did this with the meaning of spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Although this crystal pot should not be a Chinese work of art, it is definitely worth a lot of money, and he is not sure what the specific value is, so it is better to estimate the price for Ma Shangdu and Dong Dechang after going back. Although Ma Shangdu is a collector, he has a wide range of friends in various fields, some of whom are engaged in the auction industry and are relatively proficient in valuation. Not to mention Dong Dechang, he himself is engaged in pawnbroking, pawnbroking and auction are inseparable, and the two of them should be able to estimate a more reliable price.

"Once again, congratulations to this gentleman for winning the first artwork of this auction, which in Chinese terms is the first prize." William said. The words "come out of his mouth" came out of his mouth. It's funny no matter how you listen to it. It seems that William has put a lot of effort into this Chinese art auction special, and even deliberately learned a few idioms.

The second lot is a seated statue of Guanyin with a bronze tire inlaid with silver wire. The statue of Guanyin is 36 cm high and has no crown. The hairstyle is high and knotted, the face is shaped like an egg, the meniscus eyebrows, the bridge of the nose is straight, the center of the forehead is embedded with a round dot, slightly revealing silver light, and the silver dot is also embedded in the bead chain on the chest, which contrasts with the copper. Open your face dignified and compassionate. Full of compassion, full of heavenly clothes, long sleeves and wide clothes. The hands are hidden in the sleeves and the right knee is arched, and the left foot is bent in the garment. The body is slightly slender, with slanted shoulders and well-dressed. And there is a moire cloth composed of silver filaments on the front and back. Guanyin sits cross-legged on a futon. There is a small copper bottle on the right, and there is an engraved "Jingkang first year system" at the bottom (the first year of the Song Dynasty, the first year of Jingkang is the first year of the west year 1126). The overall copper is refined, the body shape is very well proportioned, the body lines are smooth and supple, the silver inlay process is meticulous, and there is an ancient seal style "Yutang Shisuo" with silver inlay on the back.

However, Yu Fei used the chaotic qi to probe, and the chaotic qi in this Guanyin statue was not particularly strong. That's about 300 years old. It is supposed to be a work of art from the early Qing Dynasty. The Jingkang Yuan at the bottom should only be a sustenance.

The so-called consignment money is not inscribed with the year of the current dynasty or the name of the hall, but the inscription of the previous dynasty's year name. In order to express a kind of reverence and remembrance for the previous dynasty that had reached the level of craftsmanship, it is called the sustenance year model, referred to as the sustenance model.

There are two kinds of consignment money: one is complete imitation, which is generally used on antique artifacts, and the font, writing and even materials completely imitate ancient artifacts, also known as post-imitation; The other is the new style of antiquities, that is, the descendants inscribe on the unsigned antiquities, and the writing is arbitrary, regardless of the font.

The consignment money first appeared in the Zhengde period of Ming Wuzong, and since then the consignment money has been increasing.

Let's talk about the statue of Guanyin itself, this is a free-style sitting statue, Guanyin three words, "view", that is, the wisdom of being able to view, the so-called one heart and three views, "Shiyin", the realm of viewing, the so-called three truths of one realm, the circle of the circle of evidence, free and unhindered, named Guanyin freely. Avalokiteshvara is Avalokiteshvara, and in the Great Compassion Dharani Sutra, the world-honored deity is also Avalokiteshvara Freedom.

This Buddha statue itself is a fine product, and many rich people themselves or their families believe in Buddhism to a greater or lesser extent, so it set off a hot speculation of bidding from the beginning of the auction.

The starting price of £10,000 has just been out of William's mouth for less than a minute, and the bid has already exceeded £60,000!

After reaching 60,000 pounds, it seems to be a threshold, and there are obviously a lot fewer bidders. And the increase is also a lot smaller, many times the increase is 1000 pounds.

In the end, this bronze statue of Guanyin inlaid with silver wire was auctioned by Zhang Yuanchao at a price of 70,000 pounds, and if you add commissions and other expenses, I am afraid it will reach more than 85,000 yuan.

From beginning to end, Yu Fei did not participate in the bidding. First, because he did not believe in Buddhism, and secondly, he did not want to raise the price with his compatriots.

The Guanyin statue, which started at 10,000 yuan, was finally auctioned for 70,000 pounds, which is also a good price.

When the third lot was revealed, the scene was a sensation, and no one expected that the standard of this Sotheby's special auction of Chinese art would be so high!

The third lot is the Qianlong jade seal "The Treasure of Eight Thoughts"!

The full name of the jade seal is Qianlong's "Treasure of the Eight Thoughts" imperial treasure Jiaolong button and Tian Qing jade seal, which was specially made by Emperor Qianlong in 1790 to commemorate his 55-year reign and celebrate his 80th birthday. The jade seal is carved with Xinjiang Hetian green jade, with a printing surface of 12.8 square centimeters, which is the larger one of the same kind of jade seals, highlighting the exquisite carving art level and unique artistic style in the Qianlong period, which is quite rare.

"Eight Songs" is what the ancient Chinese thinker Liezi called "Therefore, For, Gain, Mourning, Mourning, Happiness, Life and Death", which covers everything in life and expresses Qianlong's feelings about life during his 80th birthday.

This jade seal and the "Treasure of the Ancient Son of Heaven" (existing in the National Palace Museum in Taipei) engraved by Qianlong's 70th birthday are the favorite of Emperor Qianlong in his later years.

I didn't expect Sotheby to come up with such a lot. Generally speaking, lots such as the "Treasure of the Eight Remembrances" are used as finales at auctions.

A trace of anger flashed in Yu Fei's heart! I saw such a national treasure at an auction abroad.

But he was helpless, in the history of modern humiliation, millions of national treasures were outflowed, and what he saw was only a small part.

Like many people, he could protest and even boycott the auction online, but he felt that was not the best way, there must be other ways!

"Yu Fei, don't rob me of this thing." Ye Jianjun said: "I want to use it as a gift for the old man's ninetieth birthday." ”

Yu Fei originally had a little thought, after all, this Qianlong jade seal was not ordinary. But when he heard Ye Jianjun say this, he immediately dispelled the idea of bidding.

"Zhilu said, you have brought the old man out, do I dare to bid with you? If the old man knew what to say, then he wouldn't have to hold a cane to wheel me? Yu Fei said with a smile.

In fact, Yu Fei found out in the auction of the bronze tire inlaid with silver wire Guanyin statue that although there was no tacit understanding between Chinese buyers, there were still few bids. As long as you see that the other party really wants it, the other party will quit. Otherwise, Zhang Yuanchao is unlikely to be auctioned for 70,000 pounds.

"This Qianlong jade seal is a collector's old collection, the starting price is 600,000 pounds, and each increase must not be less than 5,000 pounds, and the auction begins!"

Frankly, £600,000 is definitely not a low price. However, William is full of confidence in the auction of Qianlong's jade seal.

As an auctioneer, he is very familiar with the market, he knows that the Qianlong Emperor is very famous in Chinese history, known as the "perfect old man", and the items he used are very popular with collectors everywhere.

"610,000!" Ye Jianjun raised the brand in his hand and called for the price.

"This gentleman bid 610,000! Is there anyone else offering a price higher than this? William smiled, he was very happy that Ye Jianjun couldn't wait to ask for the price.

Both the crystal pot of the first piece and the statue of Guanyin of the second piece have achieved unexpected results.

He believes that this Qianlong jade seal will definitely set off a greater bidding boom.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...... The auction was silent, and no one made any more bids!

William's smile froze on his face, what was going on?

Ye Jianjun has a deep background in China and a wide range of contacts, and more than half of the Chinese billionaires present know each other, so they will naturally give a little face.

Emperor Qianlong's goods are not so attractive to foreign buyers, and the starting price is so high, it is reasonable to hesitate. (To be continued......)
