Chapter 407: The Black Market (3)
Bao Wen was quite happy that the first item was sold at a high price, and he waved his hand to let the staff take the second lot, but it was a copper-pasted amphora three-legged stove.
Just like before, after Bao Wen's brief introduction, everyone stepped forward to observe.
Although Chu Chen also came to the stage this time, Qian Changxing sat in his position without showing any performance, he had been warned by Yu Guangjie just now, and he didn't dare to go on stage even if he wanted to.
This three-legged furnace is really nothing to look at, although it looks like the shape of the instrument is right, but after careful identification, Chu Chen can still see that the gold paste on the three-legged furnace is not really gold, but chemical gold-plating, in short, this thing is a fake.
However, what made Chu Chen strange was that even if it was a fake, there were actually two people at the scene who made a bid, and after some competition, this three-legged furnace was sold by one of them at a price of 37,300 yuan.
Seeing Chu Chen's somewhat strange look, Zhu Dafu explained to him in a low voice.
It turns out that the market for antiques is gradually rising, so many investors have set their sights on this industry, and the two people who bid just now are one of these people.
After listening to Zhu Dafu's explanation, Chu Chen felt a little speechless, antiques do have investment and collection value, but first of all, you have to buy the real thing, buy a fake, what kind of money can you make?
Let's just say that the two just now, it can be seen from the performance just now that their level of antique appreciation is limited, in this case, then you have to bring a palm master to the black market, not a palm eye master. It's a half-level again, you're not here to make money, but to give money to others!
At this time, Bao Wen's mood was quite good. No way, who told someone to cry and shout to send money to themselves? Don't talk about him, almost everyone will happily call each other "good person" when they encounter this kind of thing.
"Everyone, please note that the following is the heavyweight lot of this auction, which we finally persuaded the owner to obtain, the Song Dynasty Ge kiln begonia flower pot. Please take a look! ”
While talking, a staff member put a begonia-style flower pot on the table. From a distance, there are obvious characteristics of gold wire and iron feet, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the scene.
Needless to say, no one on the scene would be willing to give up the opportunity to see the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty and stepped forward. Take out a magnifying glass and take a closer look.
This pot is in the form of a four-petal begonia. Straight mouth slightly skimmed, out of the edge, oblique wall, flat bottom, under the four Ruyi cloud head shaped feet. There are five nail burn marks in the heart. Gray beige glaze is applied inside and outside, and the soles of the feet are unglazed and black, commonly known as "iron feet".
The surface of this basin is covered with gold wire. The cracks in the opening piece are natural and uniform, and they are fine. The glaze fits closely with the carcass and crisscrosses it, making it look like it has a strong artistic charm.
If you want to say that this flower pot is the technological characteristics of the brother kiln, it is indeed no problem, but if it is the brother kiln of the Song Dynasty, it is up for debate, because some of the details and characteristics of the appearance of this flower pot are not the same as Chu Chen's brother kiln three-legged furnace.
After Chu Chen's careful identification, he felt that this flower pot should be a work of the Yuan Dynasty fired in the kiln, and the results given by Lingbaoyan also confirmed his judgment.
"Song Dynasty kiln begonia flower pots, the starting price is 100,000, please bid!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
As soon as Bao Wen's words fell, the person who had just photographed the three-legged furnace directly added 100,000.
"Five hundred thousand!"
However, it is obvious that Yu Guangjie is more ruthless than him, and he raised the price to 500,000 at once. This price immediately discouraged some people on the scene, after all, this is a black market auction, except for the organizers, no one knows where this thing came from, in case it is a stolen item, even if you buy it, you have to keep it.
Some people are afraid that they won't be able to keep it, and some people don't have the money to buy it, and they are not as well-informed as Zuo Lei, and they know in advance that there will be a kiln auction today, so they don't bring much money, just like Zhu Dafu, who secretly shook his head at this time, he only brought 300,000 yuan at this auction, and he could only sigh at this time.
"Six hundred thousand!" Seeing that no one else was bidding, Kang Yuming was ready to start exerting his strength.
Yu Guangjie glanced at Kang Yuming expressionlessly, and then said lightly: "One million!" ”
Kang Yuming chuckled lightly and said, "One hundred and ten thousand!" ”
"One million and one million!"
"One million and one hundred and one thousand!"
“……”
"One million three hundred and one thousand!" Kang Yuming glanced at Yu Guangjie playfully.
"One million and four million!" Yu Guangjie gritted his teeth and quoted the price, at this time his breathing was already a little short, and it seemed that he was not lightly angered by Kang Yuming.
Kang Yuming shrugged his shoulders and didn't follow, he actually only brought a million this time, he did it just now to raise the price, so he had to accept it when he saw it, otherwise there would not be so much cash at that time, and it would be nothing for him, but his face would be lost.
"One and a half million!"
Just when Yu Guangjie thought that he had won the game, Chu Chen raised his hand and quoted the price again.
"Xiaochen, have you brought it for so many years this time?" Seeing that Chu Chen also joined the competition, Zhu Dafu asked with some concern, he was afraid that Chu Chen was just a battle of will, and if he didn't have so much money at that time, it would be difficult to do.
Chu Chen pointed to a box beside him, smiled and nodded, which made Zhu Dafu immediately relieved.
Yu Guangjie glanced at Chu Chen deeply and said, "One million and eight million!" ”
"One million nine million!" Up to now, Chu Chen still doesn't understand that Yu Guangjie is here for this brother kiln flower pot.
And he also noticed before that the weight of the bag Yu Guangjie was carrying should be less than fifty catties, and the weight of a hundred-yuan bill was 1.15 grams, that is, he brought two million less than two and a half million in cash, so he boldly quoted the price.
"Two million!" The angry Yu Guangjie directly added another 100,000, raising the reserve price by 20 times.
Chu Chen turned his head and glanced at Yu Guangjie, smiled, and stopped making a sound. If this price is really Brother Song's kiln, then two million is really not expensive, Brother Yuan's kiln, although it also has a high collection value, but even if it is auctioned, it is only a few hundred thousand, and two million will lose at least half of it.
Yu Guangjie glanced at Chu Chen viciously, picked up his bag and went to the stage to settle the bill.
"Xiaochen, are you here this time for this brother's kiln flower pot?" Taking advantage of this period, Zhu Dafu asked with some curiosity.
Chu Chen smiled and said, "If there is only one thing from the brother kiln this time, then I am here for it." ”
Kang Yuming shook his head when he heard this and said, "Then it's a pity that you didn't shoot it?" I knew that you wanted to buy it, so I could borrow your money. ”
Although he knew that Kang Yu also wanted to use his own hand to deal with Yu Guangjie, Chu Chen still thanked him, and then shook his head and said: "It's nothing to be sorry if you don't buy it, buy it next time." ”
Originally, Yu Guangjie was about to leave with the things in his hand, but when he heard Chu Chen's words, he changed his mind, and then whispered a few words to Bao Wen.
It is estimated that it is a little difficult to ask Yu Guangjie, Bao Wen's expression looked a little hesitant at first, but after thinking that Yu Guangjie is a big customer after all, he can only nod and agree.
Seeing that Bao Wen agreed, Yu Guangjie took the brother kiln flower pot that he had just arrived, walked in front of Chu Chen, and said with a smile: "Chu Shao, I finally met you, Liu Lao's closed disciple, I don't know if Lu Dao can please comment on this brother kiln begonia-style flower pot." ”
Chu Chen knew that Yu Guangjie just wanted to disgust himself, even if he didn't agree, Yu Guangjie couldn't force him, after all, it was a matter of offending people, and he didn't want to say that something was not true on this occasion, but since Yu Guangjie wanted to find abuse, he couldn't say it if he didn't fulfill himself, so he pretended to hesitate and said:
"It's a bit out of place, you see the others are still waiting for the next lot!"
In fact, Yu Guangjie didn't just want to disgust Chu Chen, if Chu Chen didn't agree just now, he would have made up rumors that Chu Chen had no one in his eyes and was arrogant and spread them, anyway, when Liu Lao couldn't find evidence that he was spreading rumors, he couldn't do anything about him.
Now since Chu Chen did not explicitly refuse, then he retreated to the next best thing, and he must let Chu Chen comment, in this way, this brother kiln flower pot has a relationship with Liu Lao, and his value will definitely increase a lot.
"Chu Shao, you are too worried, I believe that everyone should not refuse, do you say?" Yu Guangjie smiled and looked around.
Everyone else had the mentality of watching the excitement, and they all said that they wanted to hear Chu Chen's high opinions. And although Zhu Dafu and Kang Yuming were a little unhappy about this, they didn't want to provoke the anger of the public, and besides, they couldn't be Chu Chen's master.
"Alright then!"
Chu Chen nodded with a somewhat embarrassed expression, then put on gloves, took out the flower pot in the box, observed it carefully, and put the flower pot to his ear and tapped it lightly, and then put the flower pot back in the box.
The reason why Chu Chen re-observed the flower pot, in addition to wanting to have a more detailed understanding of it, was actually to pretend, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others after telling the details for a while.
Seeing Chu Chen's sophisticated appraisal techniques, the others nodded secretly, this person is worthy of being Liu Lao's closed disciple, although he is young, he does seem to have a set.
However, Zhu Dafu, who was sitting next to Chu Chen, had some doubts in his heart at this time, he also heard the sound made by Chu Chen when he knocked just now, and the sound was a little different from the voice of the brother kiln he had heard before, which made him a little suspicious immediately.
Patiently waiting for Chu Chen to finish observing, Yu Guangjie smiled and asked, "Chu Shao, I don't know what you think of things?" ”
Chu Chen snorted lightly, looking a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Yu Guangjie was slightly stunned, and said secretly, is there something wrong with this flower pot? …… (To be continued......)
