Chapter 35 Yellow Ground Enamel Floral Pattern Bowl (II)
This is today's third update, Jin San is the protagonist of another book I wrote, when I wrote the previous chapters, I haven't come out of that book, maybe a little bit of a string, I won't explain it in the future, if it is explained in which chapter, I will revise it, Xie Lu Xie brothers' support.
Meng Guangtao knows the preciousness of his small bowl, if he can't take the formal way to make a move, it is easy to cause disaster, the small bowl will be dropped, and the family will be ruined.
The depth of the antique shop is mainly due to the fact that the price of the things involved is too high, and the more expensive the things, the more troublesome and unsafe they are to deal with.
"You'd better shoot this thing in the autumn, although it's a little longer, but it's better to be safe." Han Peacock said.
At this time, Mrs. Meng suddenly interjected: "What? This little bowl is not easy to handle? Are you all antiques? Can't you sell it now? Old Meng? Your second son got married on October 1st? If you can't buy a house before eleven, where do you let your son get married? ”
Meng Guangtao only smiled bitterly, it turned out that although he had a hard mouth and said that this small bowl was genuine, but anyone who was hit one after another by others, the more likely it was that he could be so confident.
In the past, he was just worried about whether this small bowl was real, and he really didn't think about how to shoot this small bowl, but now Han Peacock has confirmed that this is the real Kangxi imperial porcelain, and it is inevitable to make a move.
Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong's ordinary bowls and porcelain bottles, porcelain plates or something, generally only tens of thousands of thousands, and this enamel color small bowl is much more expensive than those, such things, but it is not easy to sell.
Seeing Meng Guangtao's bitter face, the smile on Mrs. Meng's face disappeared suddenly: "Didn't you say that this thing is very precious?" If it's so good, how can it not sell well? ”
Han Peacock looked at it and said, "It's windy, let's go into the house and say, let's go, let's go to my room, your rooms are too small." ”
Although there are not many people in the courtyard now, after all, there are several families living here, and it is still a bit problematic to say this here.
Meng Guangtao didn't say anything, and followed Han Peacock into his house, Chen Qing and his wife packed up their things and followed Han Peacock to his house.
It depends on the weather that it is going to rain, and their house is also a place to live, but there is no place to cook, so if they want to entertain the fat Liu couple at night, they can only cook in Han Peacock's room, and only his room can enter more than a dozen people at the same time without being crowded.
"Ah, it turns out that Brother Han is a local tyrant, the room is really well decorated, I thought the basement was dark and damp, but I didn't expect there to be such a warm basement, Brother Han, you are too unrighteous, and you don't invite me to escape the summer in such a good place." As soon as Chen Xiaozhu entered Han Peacock's room, he shouted.
This season, the air conditioner in Han Peacock's house is usually turned on, so his room is not stuffy at all.
"Hehe, it turns out that you didn't come when I invited you to come, don't blame me, come in and do it, I'll make you tea." Han Peacock let them into the living room, there are two sets of sofas in the living room, both of which are a combination of one, two, and three, which can do twelve people without being crowded.
"You don't have to be busy, let me come to make tea, you speak first, I see that Aunt Meng is very anxious." Chen Rui said and entered Han Peacock's kitchen, she had to cook at Han Peacock's place every rainy day, so the couple was still very familiar with Han Peacock's room.
Han Peacock was not polite, he asked the old Meng couple to sit down before saying: "It's not good to say outside just now, Aunt Meng, don't worry, this small bowl is not a thing of hundreds of thousands of millions, this thing is worth tens of millions, how do you want Uncle Meng to sell it?" ”
"Tens of millions?"
"What?"
"Ten million?"
Han Peacock and Meng Guangtao glanced at each other, Meng Guangtao ignored the shocked crowd, he said to his wife: "In November 2006, a famous collector on Zhang Zongxian's collection of Qing Qianlong imperial enamel color apricot Lin Chunyan picture bowl, in Hong Kong by Christie's auction company, sold for 151 million Hong Kong dollars, our small bowl is Kangxi, the craftsmanship should not be as good as that one, but even so, it should not be difficult to sell tens of millions, such an expensive thing can be sold casually? ”
"Is it really that expensive? No wonder you said you were going to sell it to a big auction company! Chen Xiaozhu looked at Han Peacock in surprise and said.
Meng Guangtao's luck is envied even by Han Peacock, which is no wonder, the experts who have identified this small bowl are unanimously said to be fakes, such an expensive thing, it is a temptation that everyone will withhold, whoever sees this kind of thing, will have the psychology of picking up leaks.
If I told you that it was genuine, how many people would be able to afford it?
Han Peacock said: "The enamel color of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is very expensive, in October 2005, Hong Kong Sotheby's auction of the imperial enamel color "Gu Yuexuan" inscription poem flower stone brocade chicken picture amphora, 16.5 cm high, not much higher than this small bowl, this is also a special fire for the Qianlong Emperor to enjoy the instrument.
The picture above is a little more complicated, it is a combination of Western painting style and traditional ink, and the firing process is better than this small bowl, but Kangxi's process is simple, and the two inscriptions on this amphora, "the new branches contain light green, and the calyx is scattered and light red" adds a literati atmosphere, which is a Qianlong enamel color boutique, which was sold for 115 million Hong Kong dollars at the Hong Kong auction.
This vase was auctioned at Christie's in London in 1975 and sold for £16,000, a 515-fold increase in 30 years.
There is also the enamel bowl that Uncle Meng just said, which was also auctioned at Sotheby's Hong Kong in May 1985, and the transaction price at that time was 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price has increased more than 130 times in just 20 years.
In recent years, several pieces of enamel porcelain from the Kang, Yong, and Qianqian periods that have appeared in auctions have been sold for more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, such as a Kangxi carmine ground enamel lotus pattern bowl auctioned by Christie's Hong Kong auction house on November 2, 1999 for 12.12 million Hong Kong dollars.
On April 26, 1999, a Yongzheng carmine ground enamel color moon season green bamboo poetic cup was sold for 17.84 million Hong Kong dollars, and in 2002, a Yongzheng enamel color inscription poem over the branch plum bamboo pattern plate was sold for 32.5241 million Hong Kong dollars.
In 1997, Sotheby's Hong Kong auction house auctioned a Qianlong Huangdi Kaiguang enamel landscape pattern bowl, which was sold for 21 million Hong Kong dollars.
These are the auction prices of more than ten years ago, and the current price will only be higher, Uncle Meng's small bowl is worth at least 20 million, if you meet a suitable buyer, even if it is sold for 70 or 80 million, it is normal, if it is sent to auction, it is possible to discharge a sky-high price. ”
After all, this small bowl has no inscription and no fame, so it is difficult to say whether it can be sold for a price of 100 million yuan, but because it is a boutique in the Kangxi period, how can it be sold for 30 or 50 million, this is the charm of the antique shop, such treasures are too rare, and because they are rare, they are valuable.
But because it is driven by profits, there are also the most imitations.
Han Peacock's words directly made everyone in this room dumbfounded, even Old Lady Meng was no exception, things worth tens of millions, you don't have to think about it, you know that Lu Dao is not so easy to make.
The couple is also considered to be old and sophisticated, and things of such high value are in their own hands, but they are easy to get into trouble.
It turned out that others couldn't determine the price of this small bowl, and it brought trouble to their family, and now it was identified as genuine by Han Peacock, and such a precious antique with such a high value must be remembered.
Now even if they know that it is not easy to make a move, they don't dare to keep it in their hands, after a long time, who knows what will happen to Lu Dao.
If Mrs. Meng hadn't asked just now, Han Peacock would definitely not have said the price of this small bowl, so only Han Peacock and Meng Guangtao knew it, and no one knew the price of Lu Dao, and it was not easy to have accidents, but now everyone here knows Lu Dao, and the wealth is moving, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be no one who will be hungry for profit.
Thinking of this, the old Meng couple all looked ugly, and Han Peacock smiled bitterly: "Uncle Meng, you better hurry up and store this small bowl in the bank safe, there are many long nights in the province." ”
Meng Guangtao said: "This is certain, but this is not a way, since we don't want to continue to collect this thing, it is better to hurry up, it is a trouble to keep it in our hands." ”
No one else dared to say anything, things worth tens of millions were put in front of their eyes like this, although Chen Rui and his wife were not greedy for money, but watching tens of millions of wealth dangling in front of their eyes, they still felt their hearts beat faster.
Han Peacock said: "As long as it is deposited in the bank safe, there will not be much of a problem, Uncle Meng, you can't make a mistake in a hurry, then the loss will be big." ”
"I know this, it turns out that I have made a plan, as long as it is identified as genuine, how to sell it I have also planned to cross, the magic capital is a big city, if you want to make a move as soon as possible, you still have to deal with it here."
Han Peacock frowned, thinking of Lao Meng's handling method, he said: "If you go to the auction house, the fastest way will definitely be this year's autumn auction, but now it is too hasty to enter the autumn auction, and now the autumn auction of the major auction houses has been publicized for a long time, if you send the auction now, just publicity is a big problem." ”
Although there are many rich people in the auction, most of them go for something they like, and although the auction company will invite many rich people, their money is not blown by the wind.
Outsiders saw them at the auction with a thousand gold, that is actually people have been prepared for a long time, who is interested in something, they have done their homework in advance, after all, those who can become rich, except for the rich second generation, are almost impossible to be fools.
If you don't count the things within the plan, it is almost impossible to sell them for a large price, and these old Meng naturally understand.
"My second son got married on October 1, and if the auction is held again next spring, it won't be able to catch up with my son's marriage." Meng Guangtao said with a sad face.
As soon as he heard this, Han Peacock was immediately happy: "It turns out that your family doesn't have two houses, and the two brothers will compete for it, and now if your two sons know the value of this small bowl, I'm sure that they won't be in a hurry to buy a house now, as long as you say it, they will definitely agree to wait until next spring to auction." ”
