Chapter 270: Mona Lisa's Tears
The auction began, to Fang Qi's surprise, the first thing was something from their Huaguo, which was a bright red glazed gold cloud dragon pattern bowl, which was considered a fine porcelain, and generally no million could not be taken.
"This is a noble porcelain from China, with a bright red glaze and gold cloud dragon pattern bowl, 8.8 cm high, 20.9 cm in diameter, and 9 cm in diameter. The shape is exquisite, the bowl is skimmed, the abdomen is curved, the bottom is thin, and the feet are circled.
The whole body is covered with red glaze, and the mouth is white around the edge, which is called "lamp grass edge". The inner and outer walls are depicted with gold color two dragons play bead pattern, the outer wall near the bottom is painted with gold color deformation lotus petal pattern for a week, although the gold color has fallen off, but the pattern is still faintly visible, you can imagine the original gold color and bright red glaze reflect the magnificent bearing. White glaze is applied to the foot, and there is no money.
But experts have identified this as genuine Ming Dynasty red-glazed bowls, with prices starting at 200,000 francs. The narrator speaks in French, but there are translations in Chinese and English.
"Mr. Fang, what do you think of this thing?" Looking at Fang Qi, Mr. Amway's eyes narrowed.
"It should be a treasure in the Xuande period, the copper red glaze is extremely strict with the atmosphere of the kiln, and it is difficult to fire, and the red glaze products are gradually decreasing after Xuande. Moreover, the tire and glaze of Xuande red glaze are slightly thicker than those of the Yongle period, and the red glaze is slightly darker. The red glaze of this bright red glaze depicting gold cloud dragon pattern bowl is dark red, which is in line with the characteristics of the Xuande era, and the type of Xuande red glaze is also more than that of the Yongle period.
However, whether it is Yongle or Xuande red glazed ware, it is now a fine porcelain, and each piece is precious. If Mr. Amway wants, at least a million or more. Two hundred and fifty thousand. Hearing Fang Qi's words, Mr. Amway nodded, but when he heard Fang Qi's reserve price, he shook his head.
His money was not earned by a lucrative transaction like Fang Qi's gambling stones, and half a million francs was already his reserve price, but since Fang Qi had told him this. A million francs is not a boast, so he naturally gave up this time to compete for goods, after all, it is uncomfortable for both of them to raise the price.
"Congratulations to this Monsieur Hua Guo for 250,000 francs on his purchase of this exquisite bowl with bright red glaze painted gold cloud dragon pattern." Many people dare not ask for this piece of porcelain without money, after all, there is no money, and no one is sure that it is not from the official kiln.
But in the eyes of such connoisseurs as Fang Qi and Mr. Amway. There is not much difficulty at that time, and many things can be seen at a glance.
"The next second thing is an antique watch, this is a Rolex 1803 double calendar blue case gold belt 1556 calibre, is the most classic Rolex watch, this double calendar blue case gold belt 1556 calibre Rolex, within 1 second at the same time to release the double calendar. It may not be very pretty, but it is very practical and highly collectible."
Looking at this antique watch, Fang Qi ignored it. He didn't pay much attention to the watch, after all, he now has a jade dzi in one hand and an agarwood bracelet in the other, and the time is as long as the mobile phone is charged. And the mobile phone can illuminate, take pictures, and record, which is more suitable for him than a watch. In fact, this is also to set off his temperament in Tang costumes.
After all, every time he appears in public, he mainly wears Tang costumes. Compared with the boy's decoration of the watch, the agarwood Buddha bead bracelet is more suitable for him.
"Mr. Fang. What do you think of this kind of table? Looking at Fang Qi, Mr. Amway smiled when he arrived.
"I don't have much research on these things, if those filigree copper clocks are interested, but this one, I prefer bracelets. So Mr. Amway, I'm sorry. Hearing Fang Qi's words, Mr. Amway did not have the slightest meaning of underestimating Fang Qi, and even had a trace of appreciation in his eyes.
As Fang Qi said, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Fang Qi has been involved in many industries. Porcelain, jade, bronze, calligraphy and painting, Fang Qi is difficult to match. Fang Qi is the pinnacle of the collecting and appraisal world, but such a person dares to admit his shortcomings and admit his own shortcomings, which is precious.
Especially since Fang Qi was only twenty years old and had such an awareness, he now felt that Fang Qi was not from their F country.
"Hehe, Mr. Fang is modest, the bracelet in Mr. Fang's hand can't catch up even with ten top-of-the-line Patek Philippe platinum commemorative watches, but Mr. Fang's string of twelve dzis, I don't know what kind of jewel this thirteenth is?" To be able to be mixed by Fang Qi in the pearl of the jade dzi, he felt that it must not be simple. He even felt that even the entire Emerald Dzi bracelet was not enough for this one orb.
"Nine Curved Beads." Fang Qi's words shook Mr. Amway's body. There are many legends about the Nine Curved Beads, but there has never been any physical object. But he didn't expect Fang Qi to tell him now that the orb in front of him was the Nine Curved Bead, of course, if it was someone else, he would definitely not believe it, but Fang Qi was different. A top-notch collector will never be untargeted.
"Fang Qi can be sure?" Looking at Fang Qi, Amway couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Fifty percent sure that this is me in St. I bought it in a fine jewelry store in Honoré, it was a necklace at the time, and then I found out that this thing was wrong, so I bought it for 30,000 yuan, this is definitely the old pearl hundreds of years ago or even thousands of years ago, and now it may be possible to imitate the nine-curved beads, but did Mr. Amway think it can be imitated thousands of years ago?
What's more, how can I not see the imitation orb and the natural orb? So I'm fifty percent sure he's a nine-song bead. Hearing Fang Qi's words, Mr. Amway's body shook heavily, fifty percent, this is completely certain, Fang Qi is a jade expert, as long as he is sure that it is a natural bead from hundreds of years ago, not a modern imitation of the orb, then there is basically no doubt.
"This Mr. Hua Guo, can you please be quiet? This is the auction house, your noise may disturb other people's bidding, next time please keep your voice quiet, so as not to disturb others. By this time, the antique watch had been sold for a whopping 530,000 francs. But Fang Qi and Mr. Amway's whispering was a bit loud, which made everyone feel dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time." Fang Qi generously admitted his mistake, and Mr. Amway nodded with a smile on his face. At the same time, he looked at Fang Qi apologetically, if he hadn't found a topic, Fang Qi would not have been blamed in public
"The next one is a piece of jadeite that we have carefully prepared, it comes from the mysterious country, it is consigned by the most famous jadeite jewelry in China, Luggage's jewelry company, they have auctioned a top jadeite jewelry in each of the world's top ten auction houses, as a pioneer in their entry into the international jewelry house.
This pair of beautiful tear-shaped earrings has a very beautiful name, "Mona Lisa's Cry", it is carved from the best jade red jade in Myanmar, this jade has a very poignant name in China, called Blood Beauty, poignant blood beauty, this is undoubtedly an accusation, a kind of mourning, a poignant story, it is only fitting to use her to make Mona Lisa's tears. ”
Looking at the pair of exquisite earrings that appear on it, there is no other special decoration, but it can show a more poignant meaning. And Mr. Amway looked at Fang Qi, his heart full of curiosity. He knew that Fang Qi was the chairman of Lee's Jewelry Company.
"I don't know, I never care about the company's affairs, and recently we are going to open a branch in Yindu, which may be related to this publicity." Fang Qi's voice was very low, and it could only be heard by Amway beside him, and Mr. Amway suddenly gasped.
The Yindu branch, he could imagine this was a sign of Fangqi's jewelry store entering the world. But as the Jade King, Fang Qi's Li Jewelry Store does have one condition. There are so many people who love jadeite in the world, but among the hundreds of countries, only China, R, and Myanmar have jade kings, and other countries even have few gambling stone masters.
"This piece of "Mona Lisa's Tears" from Huaguo, the reserve price is 10 million francs, ladies and ladies or gentlemen who love their wives deeply, please bid?" This is the first lot with a reserve price of 10 million, and everyone in the audience is silent for a while.
Just when everyone thought that the auction was about to fail, suddenly a girl from country F with sunglasses raised the sign in her hand. Then, in Fonci's disbelief, people kept raising their cards, and gradually more than 20 million francs before stopping, and finally the Mona Lisa's tears were bought for 23 million. Definitely the key news of the day.
"Hehe, congratulations to Mr. Fang on the success of the first auction of "Mona Lisa's Tears", I believe that Mr. Fang will be able to open a branch in this Champs-Elysée sooner or later." Hearing Mr. Amway's words, Fang Qi shook his head, this time it was mainly relying on the alms of the Suzuki sisters, so Fang Qi did not have the slightest sense of accomplishment.
"If that happens, I will definitely invite Mr. Amway to cut the ribbon."
"The next piece, also a piece of jewelry, is a 10-carat diamond ring consigned by Lingyuan Jewelry, which is made from a piece of high-quality blue diamond rough, the whole body is crystal clear, and the diamond cutter uses a special laser design, and it takes a month to carefully carve it. It's a perfect work of art.
If any gentleman uses it to propose to a beautiful lady, it will definitely be a killer. This blue diamond ring is priced at five million, boys and ladies present please bid"
Mr. Amway couldn't help but smile when he heard the blue diamond ring consigned by Lingyuan Auction House, this was definitely deliberate, it was a sniper from Fang Qili's Auction House. This top-notch diamond ring would never appear here in normal times, but now it is undoubtedly to snipe Lee's auction house and enter the world. But apparently it didn't go their way.
A top-grade diamond ring with a reserve price of five million francs was taken down by a lady from country F for six and seven hundred thousand dollars. Compared to the more than 20 million Mona Lisa's tears, there is definitely more than a little difference. This time, the fame of Lee's jewelry store is out in country F. (To be continued......)
