Chapter 87: The Black Market in Antiques (7)

Chu Chen's mood at this time was undoubtedly very nervous, in fact, according to his meaning, when Yu Guangjie raised the price to 3.9 million, it was already okay, but Zhao Qirui wanted to avenge the afternoon, so he still repaid 4.3 million.

What he is worried about now is, what if Yu Guangjie doesn't pick up? If he doesn't take it, the loss will be big, the money is a trivial matter, but the face is a little unbearable, and this matter is also his idea, he will always have to take some responsibility.

Yu Guangjie originally wanted to leave it at that, but when he saw Zhao Qirui's smiling expression, his heart suddenly became angry.

He actually hated Zhao Qirui very much in his heart, his parents were about to set a family affair for him, but they were ruined by Zhao Qirui, whenever he remembered that the beauty had left him since then, his heart always ached, which made him haunt him all the time.

But Yu Guangjie didn't dare to do anything to Zhao Qirui, who called Zhao Qirui himself strong and his background was much bigger than him? However, at this afternoon's auction, Zhao Qirui inadvertently put one for him, and that feeling made him feel that it was too beautiful.

"This gentleman bid 4.3 million, is there anyone else bidding, if not, then ......"

"Wait, I'll give four million four hundred thousand!"

Yu Guangjie still felt that he had given in at this critical time, and he had lost face, but he was still very conflicted in his heart, thinking that Zhao Qirui would continue to offer, so that he would not lose the ability to bid for a while, and he also wanted to be able to buy the painting, which was also a capital for Zhao Qirui to show off.

In fact, Zhao Qirui originally wanted to increase the price, but after all, this is an antique black market, and if it is an official auction, he really wants to have a good time.

The auctioneer asked a few questions according to the rules, and soon announced the sale. Seeing this, Chu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only now that he found that a little bead of sweat had oozed from his forehead.

"Bosses, pay attention, the following things are still quite weighty, I hope you don't miss it." The auctioneer reminded with a smile on his face.

Saying this, the interest of the buyers on the scene suddenly rose again, just now it was a work of Shen Zhou, and now what treasures are on the scene?

This time the thing should be a pair, I saw two hostesses, an elegant one walked to the stage with a brocade box, put the brocade box on the table, and then both opened, the two carefully took out the things inside, put it on the table, and it was a pair of exquisite and abnormal floral pattern bowls displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

"A pair of Qing Yongzheng enamel color flower pattern bowls!"

Zhao Qirui looked at the pictures projected on the wall, his heart seemed to be attracted, and he muttered: "It's really a good thing, this time it must be genuine!" ”

"It's really a good thing, I think now this pair of enamel should be a real thing, the organizer can't always take the wrong thing, especially something so expensive." Chu Chen smiled and said.

Zhao Qirui also smiled slightly, and said: "They are really not sure, but I still hope that they are genuine, if they are genuine, I will definitely take them down, and I will ask Xiao Chu for you." ”

Chu Chen nodded and walked to the stage.

Chu Chen first looked at the style, and saw that this pair of bowls were both sides of the box "Yongzheng Year" blue material model, the font is imitation Song style, from the way and method of writing, it can be seen that this pair of bowls, at least from this aspect, should be the work of this dynasty.

Chu Chen seized the time to observe the other features, which were both open, curved abdomen, and circled feet. The light element in the vessel, the foot end is rounded, the shape is regular, the tire is fine, and the carcass is symmetrical. Transparent glaze is applied to the inside and bottom of the vessel, the glaze is moist and even, and the white is slightly shiny. The tire glaze is also in line with the characteristics of the Yongzheng period.

The outer wall of the bowl is painted in enamel. One side is painted with the moon season, osmanthus, poppy, chrysanthemum, begonia and other blooming flowers, the flowers are bright and eye-catching, the branches and leaves are verdant and delicate, the trees are vigorous, the stones are exquisitely clear, the pattern painting is exquisite, and the lines are natural and smooth.

On the other side, the five-character poem is inscribed in ink and color, and there are three seal script Zhu Wen leisure chapters, and the five-character poems and leisure chapters on the two bowls are also different. Because this pair of enamel bowls is painted with a gong brush, although the subject matter is the same, there are still some slight differences, and of course, it can be seen from the power of the brush that this pair of bowls should be made by the same artist.

From the characteristics of pigments, paintings, ornaments, etc., Chu Chen can conclude that this pair of enamel flower bowls is indeed a work of the Yongzheng period. However, the bowl was worth a lot of money, and he still used the ability, which confirmed his judgment as well.

Enamel color was created in the later years of Kangxi, and flourished in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods.

Yongzheng period enamel color is more mature, there is a breakthrough in the process, the color material is more abundant, most of the enamel color is painted on the white ground, the flower pattern of the bowl belly draws on the style of Song people's calligraphy and painting, realistic and vivid, and the painting style of the pattern-shaped flowers of the big branches and leaves on the Kangxi enamel ware is very different.

And this pair of bowls is a collection of poetry, calligraphy, painting as one of the Yongzheng enamel porcelain in the famous product, even if it is counted as a single one, it is much more precious than the Qianlong period enamel bowl that Chu Chen obtained.

Seeing such a beautiful enamel bowl, Chu Chen of course wanted to take a closer look, but the auctioneer next to him politely reminded: "Boss, it's time." ”

Chu Chen frowned, there is one thing bad about this antique black market, that is, the time for each person's identification is too short, only three minutes, but this is not only due to the reason of saving time, but the bigger reason is that if there is less time, it will definitely not be able to be more haode identification, so that the organizer will be more able to fish in troubled waters.

Like the work of Shen Zhou just now, although Qian Changxing's character is not good, his eyesight is still very good to listen to Uncle Wu and them, if it is not for the lack of time, then he can find some of these problems.

"How?"

After Chu Chen returned to his seat, Zhao Qirui couldn't wait to ask.

"It's all genuine, and it's in perfect condition."

When Zhao Qirui heard this, he immediately said with some excitement: "That's good, I finally have a real harvest today." ”

The time was almost up, and the auctioneer on the stage said: "Bosses, due to some special reasons, the price of this pair of bowls starts at one million, so please start bidding!" ”

Although the starting price of one million has caused some uproar at the bottom, it is not affected by those who love it, and in terms of quality, one million is not enough if it is genuine.

"A million!" As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, someone shouted an offer.

"One and a half million!" A fat man who looks rich and wealthy directly added 500,000.

As soon as this price came out, the scene was suddenly a little silent, after all, the time for identification is too short, and the authenticity is really hard to say, if it is true, then this price goes without saying, it must be earned, but what if it is fake?

"Brother Zhao, don't you make an offer?" Chu Chen asked a little strangely, just now I saw that Zhao Qirui obviously liked this pair of bowls very much, why did he change his hexagram after a while?

Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, the bidding in the auction is the most taboo, and it is easy to raise the price too high when there are many bidders, and the price does not reach a certain point, which is also in vain." ”

Chu Chen nodded after hearing this, it does make sense to say this, the atmosphere is high when there are many people, and it is often easy for people to be uncalm.

The price of 1.5 million made many people retreat, and then together with the fat man, only four of them were bidding there, and the price increase was not high, only 50,000 yuan, and when the fat man's price reached 1.9 million, the scene suddenly became cold.

"One million nine hundred and nine!" Zhao Qirui began to exert his strength.

This price made the fat man a little entangled, although it was only 10,000 yuan, but it also made him wake up from the excited state just now. After all, the palm-eyed master he brought with him can't be 100% sure of the authenticity of this pair of bowls, and there are still risks involved, and it's actually not small.

However, he wanted him to give up the bid, but he was not so willing, so he quoted another price: "One million nine hundred and fifty thousand!" ”

"One million ,960,000!" At this time, if you really want to take a picture of the bowl, the price must not be too high, which will greatly increase the possibility of others thinking that it is genuine, but it will be self-defeating, so the best way is to grind patiently.

Sure enough, the fat man couldn't support it a little, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he gritted his teeth and said, "One million .97 million!" ”

Zhao Qirui saw that the fat man's price increase had also decreased, and he knew that it was almost there, but he still looked patient, and said leisurely: "One million .98 million!" ”

This price made the fat man defeated, and he knew in his heart that his state would not be able to withstand it if it continued like this, so it was better to abandon his weapon and surrender as soon as possible.

After Zhao Qirui got the pair of enamel flower bowls, he immediately took them out and watched them carefully, although the lights were a little dim, but he still looked at them with great interest, and said happily: "This trip is a complete merit"

Next, Chu Chen originally thought that there was something good, but he didn't expect it to be a bamboo carved pen holder, and it was the penultimate thing in this auction, which was really disappointing.

But think about it, isn't it the first time you come to the black market, you can't always buy nothing, and Zuihou will definitely not be bad for a finale. In that case, let's go up and see this pen holder, and if it's haode, buy it as a souvenir of the black market.

So he said hello to Zhao Qirui and came to the stage.

This pen holder, it looks okay, the mouth and seat feet are made of wood, the whole body uses the deep technique of trapping, the knife technique also has a certain skill, look at the pulp and other characteristics, this should be a work of the late Qing Dynasty, worth about two or three thousand.

But looking at it, Chu Chen suddenly found a detail, which made him suddenly have a conjecture, but unfortunately the ability has been used up and cannot be verified, but anyway, the price of this thing should not be high, buy it first.
