Of course, if you want to go on stage to appraisal, you also have to show your strength. At this time, the small round card given by the guard just now came in handy.

According to his observations, Chu Chen found that there were three colors of small round cards on the scene, namely green, red, and gold, of which gold should represent the highest grade, followed by red and green.

Chu Chen didn't know what the difference between these three kinds of medals was in other aspects for the time being, but he still saw the difference when he came to the stage to identify antiques.

For example, a buyer with a green medallion will not be able to observe the lot in a short amount of time. The red ones don't have this restriction, and the gold ones can be photographed and so on.

Like the third lot, a man standing behind a pot-bellied man with only a green medallion saw that the other party could hold it in his hand and observe, and he was ready to get started, but was stopped. He was not convinced, and said a few more words, and if he hadn't been stopped by his friend, he would have almost been kicked out.

This qiē is just a small episode, the auction has been going on quietly, and the transaction price is getting higher and higher, but Chu Chen didn't see what he was satisfied with, and Qiao Qingtai looked the same.

Seeing that three more lots were sold, Chu Chen was still indifferent, Qiao Qingtai was a little anxious, and asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Chu, aren't you interested in anything here? Don't let me do it on purpose, you also know that in addition to my interest in stationery supplies, I am also interested in calligraphy and painting. There are very few of these two types of things here. ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Old Qiao, don't worry. I'm sure I'll buy something I like, but so far. There's really nothing in my eye. ”

Just as the two were talking, the staff put a box on the table, and the auctioneer introduced it with some excitement: "The following lot is the cursive seven-character poem fan ......of the great calligrapher Wang Pet of the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing this, the scene was in an uproar, Qiao Qingtai was even more stunned, and after half a ring, he came back to his senses, and muttered a little incredulously: "Why did Wang Pet's work appear in this auction?" ”

As one of the "Three Families of Wumen", Wang Pet, his fame is better than that of the other two Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming. may not be so prominent, but everyone should be familiar with his in-laws, he is Tang Yin and Tang Bohu.

Wang Pet devoted his life to poetry, calligraphy and painting, and was good at seal carving, and was willing to be ambitious, and had high ambitions in all aspects, especially calligraphy. He is capable of all kinds of bodies, and is best at small letters, lines, and grass.

Its way is profound, and the style of writing tends to be dignified and elegant, among the sons of Wumen. His calligraphy is particularly interesting, and the reason for this is that his heart does not descend below the Tang and Song dynasties, and he is familiar with the law. There is no madness in his brushwork, and there is a place for dot painting and knots. The mood is open and the word is open, and there is no trivial habit.

It's a pity. Wang Chong's untimely death, at the age of 39, also affected his calligraphy, so that the charm of his calligraphy could not be harmonious and harmonious, and went further.

But in any case, Wang Chong's work is still very popular with collectors, not to mention that this fan is still a cursive work. You must know that in the history of calligraphy, in addition to Mi Fu and Zhao Mengfu, he and Wang Duo are the outstanding people who learn Wang Xizhi, and they have their own strengths. King Mead's swiftness, Zhao De's king's uprightness, Wang Duo's king's strength, and king's favor king's slackness.

Therefore, Wang Chong's cursive works are particularly precious. And this is exactly what Qiao Qingtai thinks is strange, because if the thing is indeed genuine, it should appear at the next auction, so as to maximize the benefits, and now everyone only brings so much cash, even if they want to pay a higher price.

"Can I transfer money or write a check?" At this time, everyone saw a boss-like man sitting in the middle and asked loudly.

The auctioneer replied, "This gentleman, I'm really sorry, now I can only use cash." ”

The man shook his head with some regret and didn't say anything more.

Next, the auctioneer gave an introduction to the work, but judging from his not very vivid and detailed language, he probably didn't do much homework on this lot.

No matter what the auctioneer introduced, many people at the scene were still full of enthusiasm for the fan of the king's pet, and many buyers came to the stage to appreciate it for a while, including Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai.

After all, it was a black market, and there was not much time for everyone to observe, and soon, Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai both walked off the stage.

Sitting back in his place, Qiao Qingtai asked in a low voice, "Xiao Chu, how are things?" ”

Chu Chen nodded slightly, considering that the buyers around him were all potential competitors, he didn't say much about it.

Qiao Qingtai was very excited about this result, but in a blink of an eye, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Old Qiao, you don't have to think about it, I will support you in a while." ”

"This ......"

Although this is a black market, the price of the lot is definitely much lower than the official auction, but Wang Pet's fan was auctioned for 70,000 yuan in 1994, and the artistic value of this fan in front of him is no worse than the original one.

In addition, the antique market has risen sharply during this period of time, like the current fan, if it is auctioned, the possibility of the transaction price being higher than 400,000 is very high.

In this way, even if the transaction price on the black market is lower than normal, 100,000 will always be needed. What's more, there are many people on the scene who care about this thing, and the final price may be higher.

Therefore, once this fan is bought, if Chu Chen sees something he is satisfied with, he will probably have no money to bid. This is also the reason why Qiao Qingtai feels embarrassed.

Chu Chen hurriedly waved his hand, saying that it is not easy to encounter an antique that he likes, and he can't give up in vain for the unseemable possibility, if there is no one, wouldn't it be a pity?

Qiao Qingtai's personality is also relatively straightforward, he kept Chu Chen's favor in mind, so he paid attention to this lot.

Just like the many people who came to the stage to appreciate it just now, when the auctioneer announced the start of bidding, there was an endless stream of bidders, and soon the price climbed to 100,000, and at this time, the number of bidders began to decrease greatly, and the increase in the price was only a few thousand.

Some people may say that Chu Chen only got a red medal with 200,000 yuan, and those buyers who have gold medals are so unhappy to pay?

In fact, the golden medal is not a lot of money can be obtained, there is a word in the world called "old customers", after all, this is the black market, safety is the most important, no matter how much money you bring, not an acquaintance The organizer will not trust you, although they want to make money, but they also have to earn money that can be spent.

Therefore, although there are a few buyers who have golden medals now, in terms of cash in hand, they are not more than Chu Chen, and now that most of the auction has passed, many of them have already bought what they like, and they have even less money in their hands.

So, when Chu Chen saw that there were only three buyers bidding on the scene, he bid 160,000 yuan, which made two of them suddenly dumbfounded, and the other bid was also a little hesitant, and increased the price twice, seeing that Chu Chen offered 180,000 yuan, he also chose to give up.

Chu Chen asked Zuo Shan to pay and get the lot back, but in the process, a figure flashing at the door made him frown slightly, because if he was not mistaken, it should be the weirdo who went to Han Yusong's shop yesterday.

"How could he be here, is he also from the black market? Or is it his lot that is up for auction here? ”

Chu Chen lowered his head and thought, considering that this person had sold this fan after the auction was over, Chu Chen guessed whether this thing would be this person.

Qiao Qingtai paid attention to the fan at this time, he didn't pay attention to this scene, and after Zuo Shan brought the things back, he couldn't wait to take out the fan and look at it.

Qiao Qingtai couldn't put it down and looked at the fan in his hand, and exclaimed: "The penmanship is thin and flexible, like the wind into the bush, fluttering and swaying, full of rhyme, this should be Wang Chong's work in his later years, it is really a good word!" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said: "It is indeed relatively rare, even among Wang Pet's many works, it should be regarded as a masterpiece." ”

Qiao Qingtai agreed, he said with a smile: "I have admired Wang Chong's calligraphy for a long time, and I have a lot of his works in my family, but my favorite fan has not been very good, and today I have got my wish!" ”

Chu Chen smiled slightly, speaking of which, the traditional forms of calligraphy include couplets, middle halls, banners, buckets, fans, etc., in comparison, he and Qiao Qingtai are the same, especially fond of the unique traditional style of fan calligraphy. This is also because the fan calligraphy has an elegant form, rich writing formats, and diversified characteristics, which is also convenient for calligraphy exchanges between calligraphers.

However, fan calligraphy is not easy to grasp, and if you want to fully display your artistic talent on the fan, you must arrange the arrangement of various fans.

For example, the folding fan, which is the most common form in the fan surface, divides the content to be written into a long and short format for writing, which can be combined with five or two or five or five or four, without special restrictions, and the number of words can also be written in an arc ring.

Like the fan in front of me, it is handled very well in this regard, giving people a sense of combining sensibility and rationality, and the charm is unhindered, and it is done in one go. Coupled with the characteristics of Wang Chongxing's pen being calm and free, and the gestures are flying, not to mention Qiao Qingtai, even Chu Chen is a little reluctant to give up at this time.

But at this time, in addition to appreciating this calligraphy work, Chu Chen was also somewhat worried because of the sudden appearance of the person just now.

After all, this is a black market, there are very few lots without problems, and the person's behavior seems a little strange, in case this calligraphy work is more problematic in terms of origin, then Qiao Qingtai is likely to lose both his property in the end......
