Chapter 423: Qianlong Chicken Bowl Cup
PS: Ask for support at the beginning of the traffic light~~~
Among these bidders, some are patriots who want to contribute to the return of national treasures that have been lost overseas, and there are also wealthy businessmen and tyrants who simply burn a lot of money, do not understand the market, and raise prices because of their face.
Regardless of their purpose, these people are Chinese, and watching them spend their hard-earned money on Japanese auction houses like dirt, Yu Fei's heart is very uncomfortable. Wang Guangshui is right, this is not to promote the return of national treasures at all, but to encourage the arrogance of such bandits, and something must be done to stop this behavior.
However, Yu Fei didn't know what to do with Lu Dao at all, he had no experience in this area. He did not have such a strong appeal to call on the Chinese buyers present to boycott the auction. What to do?
"The next lot is the Qianlong chicken bowl cup of the Qing Dynasty." The auctioneer said in her soft voice.
The chicken bowl cup is respected by Chenghua. For more than 200 years after Chenghua, the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties of the Ming Dynasty all imitated, but the quality was low. Imitation is better is the Qing Dynasty Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong three dynasties, especially Qianlong is the best, Qianlong Emperor not only let the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln at that time imitate, but also inscribed poems.
A small cup was brought by the master of ceremonies to the display table in the center of the auction table. At the same time, the image of a chicken bowl cup was also played on the big screen.
At such a long distance, the auctioneer is not allowed to look at or get hands on the spot, so there is no way to judge the authenticity.
However, this was difficult to Yu Fei, and he channeled a chaotic qi to envelop the chicken bowl cup, and then his eyes lit up!
Then he lay on his stomach in the ears of Ma Shangdu and Dong Dechang and whispered a few words.
Both looked at each other in horror.
"Dumbo. Can you be sure? Marchand asked. Although he knew that Yu Fei's luck was very good, and his identification ability was also very high (otherwise how could he have picked up leaks one after another), but he was separated by such a long distance. Even he himself has no way of judging the authenticity, how can Yu Fei see that something is wrong?
"Yes, Xiaofei, this matter is very important, and it is not easy to believe it if you are not completely sure." Dong Dechang also said.
When they heard Yu Fei say that this Qianlong Doucai chicken bowl cup was a fake, the two of them were still in disbelief.
It is important to know that although the situation of shoddy and fake is often in auctions, it is in large-scale auctions abroad. This is still relatively rare.
At the beginning of this auction of Chinese art, the two lots sold by Heath Auction House were of high quality, and it was clear that this was a high-profile auction. Heath is also the largest auction house in Japan, and if such a thing is discovered, it will be found out. The impact on their reputation is significant.
And in general, the fakes of the auction will be put in the middle and late stages, because the bidders are very conscious at the beginning of the auction. Even a little wary. At this time, fake is sold. The chances of being spotted are much higher. Later, driven by the atmosphere of the scene, the bidders will be more or less hot-headed, or they may follow the trend blindly when they see others making shots one after another, so that the success rate of the fake auction is much greater.
In fact, there are too many cases where fakes are found at auctions after the lot has been delivered, and very few cases are debunked on the spot.
"Uncle Dong. Brother Ma, you believe me. I saw this chicken bowl cup at a private exchange meeting in Japan. Sure it's a fake! The biggest flaw is in its payment. Yu Fei said. He couldn't say that all of this had been carefully observed by the Chaos Qi, so he pretended that he had seen it before. Anyway, Dong Dechang and Ma Shang don't know what they did in Japan, and he did participate in a private exchange meeting, but he didn't see this chicken bowl cup.
"Good!" Although Dong Dechang was not sure, he believed in his disciple and Yu Fei, and patted the armrest and said: "I will bet all this reputation on you, if you bet wrong, you will have to give me a pension." ”
It was not easy for Dong Dechang to make such a decision, and he had accumulated such a reputation for decades. If this Qianlong chicken bowl cup is not a fake as Yu Fei said, but a genuine product, then Dong Dechang's reputation in this life will be over, and he may really rely on Yu Fei to support his old age in the future.
Such a bet is not small, and Dong Dechang is willing to gamble everything he has, obviously to support himself, which makes Yu Fei very moved.
"Since Dong Lao is willing to gamble, then I didn't say anything, bet! Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, and there are too many scruples and too uneasy. Marchand said with squinted eyes.
Marchand was able to agree to Fei's surprise. You must know that Ma Shangdu and Yu Fei have not had many contacts, that is, they have had more contacts recently because of the antique exhibition, and his understanding of Fei is not as deep as Dong Dechang.
There is not the slightest chaotic gas in this Qianlong chicken bowl cup, and it is undoubtedly a fake. However, Yu Fei's behavior of inviting Ma Shangdu and Dong Dechang to expose the Heath Auction House in public cannot but be said to be too Meng Lang.
Although Yu Fei debunked Sosby's auction in public in London, Yu Fei was not well-known, and even if he was wrong, there was nothing to lose.
This time, Yu Fei didn't stand up and point out Heath's counterfeit behavior, of course, he didn't cherish his feathers and didn't want to risk his life, it was because he had other plans!
Debunking the sale of fakes is just the first step!
Yu Fei stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them very sincerely.
Both the level and ethics of the two made Yu Fei very admirable.
Just as Dong Dechang was about to stand up and speak, he was stopped by Ma Shangdu: "Dong Lao, this kind of thing should let our juniors charge into battle, you, give me the pressure array, take the helm!" ”
"Pony, I'm already an old man, and this reputation doesn't matter to me, but you're still young, so I'll do this." Dong Dechang was not willing to let Ma Shangdu take the lead.
Ma Shangdu smiled, already stood up, didn't give Dong Dechang a chance to stop him, and said loudly: "Wait! ”
At this time, the bidding for the Qianlong chicken bowl cup has begun. The price has climbed from a reserve price of $20,000 to $50,000.
In recent years, the appreciation of the Doucai Chicken Cup has been very fast, and it has been sought after by many people.
Ma Shangdu's voice and so on, if there was a spring thunder, the hot auction scene cooled down all of a sudden.
Because Yu Fei and the others were sitting relatively far back, many people looked back to see what was going on and who interrupted the auction.
"It's Mr. Ma!" Ma Shangdu's fame was too great, and many people at the scene immediately recognized his short hair and small eyes that could not be seen with a one-on-one smile.
"Teacher Ma is here too, that's great!" Some people say so. Many collectors have a limited level of identification, so they are very unconfident, and they have an inexplicable sense of dependence when they see experts.
"Hello Mr. Ma!" Immediately, many people at the scene greeted Ma Shangdu, and Ma Shangdu also nodded frequently.
At this time, Dong Dechang also stood up, compared with Ma Shangdu, there are fewer people who know Dong Dechang, mainly because the area affected by Dong Dechang is in the south. Still, some recognized him.
"Old Dong, you're here too?! Do you remember me? A person shouted: "Last time in Ningdu, you also helped me identify a painting of Qi Baishi!" ”
"Pull it down, Dong Lao appraisals so many antiques every day, where will he remember you?" Another person joked.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter at the scene.
As a result, the auction was suspended. Yu Fei couldn't help but sigh, Ma and Dong's influence was really great, and the two of them had such a reaction as soon as they spoke out, if they shouted to stop the auction, I was afraid that they would be stoned to death by bricks.
"Sir, do you have anything to do with interrupting the auction?" The beautiful auctioneer asked.
Yes, Marchand interrupted the auction for something? Thinking of this question, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Ma Shangdu smiled and said: "It's very simple, I suspect that this Qianlong chicken bowl cup is a fake. ”
"What?" The scene suddenly remembered a burst of discussion.
"I heard you right, Mr. Ma said that this chicken bowl cup is wrong?" One person said incredulously, "Isn't Japan a country that is ashamed of counterfeiting?" How can fakes appear at their auctions? ”
Japan has always boasted that it is ashamed of falsifying prices, which has also deceived many Chinese people into believing that Japanese auction houses are auctioning genuine products.
At this time, Ma Shangdu's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and many people pointed the finger at the Heath auction house, if this thing is true, then the reputation of the Heath auction house will be ruined.
The experience of the beautiful auctioneer is obviously not particularly rich, she was originally a gimmick launched by Heath, a tool to attract attention, where would she have thought that there would be doubts on the spot?
But she quickly calmed down and asked in a loud voice: "You said that this Qianlong chicken bowl cup is a fake, is there any evidence?" ”
"That's right." Some looked at Marchandu again. Although your teacher Ma is famous, you must have a basis for speaking.
Evidence? It's so far away that Marchand can't even see it clearly, so where can he find evidence? (To be continued......)
