Chu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "I can't help you with this, but if you have anything to do in the future, I will definitely help." ”

"Brother Chen, with your words, I am relieved." Liu Sizhe said with a grin.

"You ...... guy"

The two returned to the second floor of the tea house, at this time, several old-timers also left one after another, as for the reason why they did not participate in the auction, it was also very simple, because these people were respected old-timers, if they also participated in the bidding, then the others would not be able to let go.

Seeing the two come in, the elders also greeted the two warmly, after the performance in the morning, as well as the stream bank map, Chu Chen was also recognized by these old-timers, and it can be regarded as standing on his heels in the circle, which can be said to be Chu Chen's biggest gain today.

"Xiao Chu, I don't know if your picture of the creek bank has any idea of changing hands?" In fact, the elder also knew that Chu Chen would not transfer it, but he was still a little reluctant in his heart, so he tried to ask,

Chu Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, but when he saw Ou Lao's expression, he knew what was going on, so he replied politely: "Ou Lao, I'm really sorry, I plan to use this painting as a family heirloom." ”

Although he had guessed Chu Chen's answer in advance, Ou Lao's expression was still slightly disappointed.

"I said that Xiao Chu would definitely not agree, what's the matter, now let's die!" Qian Lao said with a smile.

Niu Lao smiled and said: "Come on, I've known him for so many years, you don't know his temper yet, Lao Qian, it's strange that he will die." ”

Hearing this, Ou Lao glanced at him and said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chu." If you have the idea of changing hands in the future, you must notify me first! He said. He also told Chu Chen about his home phone.

Qian Lao couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and said, "Okay." Let's go, don't delay Xiao Chu and them to participate in the auction. ”

"Okay, let's go! ……”

Seeing a few old people go away, Liu Sizhe smiled and said, "Brother Chu, if they know that you still have so many good things, it is estimated that you will be annoyed in the future." ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "I have good things, don't they have them, as long as it's not something like a creek bank map, they want it." Just trade it for something I'm interested in. ……”

Although it has reached the part of the auction, the layout of the second floor is still the same as before, but there is an extra rostrum at the front, at this time a middle-aged man is standing behind the rostrum and talking to the staff, this person Chu Chen also knows, it is Chen Dayou, the organizer of each exchange meeting.

Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe returned to their seats in the morning with a smile and a smile, and all the people present were those in the morning, but Zhu Dafu and the Chai boss were missing, Zhu Dafu was because of something. went back without eating, and Boss Chai sat in another position because he didn't want to see Chu Chen.

After the two said hello to the others, everyone chatted. While waiting for the auction to start.

Chen Dayou didn't let everyone wait long, raised his hand and looked at his watch, feeling that the time was almost up. And he opened his mouth and said,

"There are old friends here. There are also new friends, and the rules of our auction are no different from others. Of course, there is a point to explain in advance, how much money you can buy, we don't have a default here, if there is a violation, then I'm sorry, the association can only fire you. Well, without further ado, the auction starts now. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man put his first item on the table.

Chen Dayou saw that everyone paid attention to the stage, so he opened his mouth and introduced: "The Han Dynasty copper mistake Jin Boshan furnace, Boshan furnace must be familiar to everyone, it was quite popular in the Han and Jin dynasties, and this furnace has distinctive characteristics of the times. ”

"This furnace is 28 centimeters high, composed of the furnace body, the furnace lid and the base, and the whole body is decorated with gold wires to make smooth and delicate patterns. Plate pillar carved with three-dimensional dragon, dragon claw layer open, open-carved and form the bottom of the plate, there is the momentum of the dragon's body, soaring clouds and driving fog, the dragon's head is high, open the mouth to hold the bottom of the furnace. The furnace body is slightly drummed, and the lid and furnace mouth are the mother and son mouth. ”

The cover is a hollow openwork, showing the scene of undulating mountains and mist, monsters infesting the clouds and mountains, and immortals appearing. A phoenix bird stands on the top of the cover, with its head held high, its tail feathers are high, like a long cry of the neck, and the shape is elegant and smart. The furnace carving is fine, the shape is lively and beautiful, and it is rare to be in good condition, which is a rare art treasure. ”

The so-called Boshan furnace is also called Boshan incense burner, Boshan incense, Boshan incense furnace and other names, which is a common incense burning utensils in the Han and Jin dynasties in China. Bronze and ceramics are common. The furnace body is bean-shaped in bronze, with a cover, the cover is high and pointed, hollowed, it is a mountain-shaped, the mountain-shaped overlaps, and there are birds and beasts carved in the middle, symbolizing the legendary sea fairy mountain, Boshan and got its name.

When the spices are burned in the belly of the Boshan furnace, the smoke is emitted from the hollow mountain shape, like a fairy atmosphere, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland. This furnace is a commonly used incense utensil in the Western Han Dynasty, which can be used to smoke clothes and quilts to deodorize and avoid filth. At the beginning, the Boshan furnace was a copper plain surface, and then with the development of the craft jishu, the appearance was gilded, or wrong gold and silver.

Chen Dayou said in great detail, but there was no emotion on the faces of everyone in the audience, this is because any expression on the face during the auction may be used by the opponent.

Speaking of zuihou, Chen Dayou paused and looked around: "The first lot, a Han Dynasty copper mistake Jinbo Mountain furnace, the starting price is 100,000!" Please come to the stage to appraise! ”

In an auction, the selection of the first lot is very particular, not only to warm up, but also not to cover the light of the later lots, so the auction will generally take out a lot of value compared to the whole auction to bid.

This Han Dynasty copper mistake Jin Boshan furnace is complete, and the workmanship is quite fine, it can be described as a treasure in the Boshan furnace, so the collection value is quite high, can use this object as the opening lot, Chu Chen is also very much looking forward to the subsequent lots.

Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were both a little interested in this Boshan furnace, so they also lined up to take a look at the stage. Because the time to come forward for identification was very short, it was Chu Chen's turn soon, but the thing was relatively open, and Chu Chen used his ability again, so he just glanced at it a few times and walked back to his seat.

When Liu Sizhe saw Chu Chen coming back, he glanced at him inquiringly, Chu Chen smiled at Liu Sizhe slightly, and Liu Sizhe immediately understood what was going on.

Generally speaking, most of the first lots can't be imitations, so when Chen Dayou started bidding, the atmosphere was instantly mobilized.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"

The bidding sound on the scene came and went, and after a while, the price of this Boshan furnace was pushed to 300,000, and the on-site bidding gradually thinned out.

"Brother Chu, how much do you think the valuation of this Boshan furnace should be?" Liu Sizhe asked in a low voice.

"According to the quality, it should be between forty-five and five hundred thousand, if you really like it, it will not exceed five hundred and fifty thousand at most, otherwise it will be a loss. But don't forget, we have a 3% discount on the purchase price of zuihou. Chu Chen replied softly.

What Chu Chen said is one of the benefits of the association, and it is also a means to unite life, but don't think that three percent is very little, like a lot with a market value of 500,000 yuan, you can make 15,000 yuan if you change your hand, how much money can you make on shijie so easily?

As for whether the members of the association will push up the price of the lot because of this, it is because you are too worried, you must know that these people at the scene, either the owner of the antique shop or the senior collector, who is not a good person, how can they do such things that harm others and themselves.

Therefore, after so many years, unless you are willful or really like the lot, Zuihou's offer will never exceed the market price. Otherwise, if someone deliberately breaks this rule, there is a chance that they will be attacked by a group.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!" After listening to what Chu Chen said, Liu Sizhe directly added 150,000, revealing his determination to win.

Hearing this offer, everyone looked back at Liu Sizhe and saw that it was actually Liu Lao's grandson, and many people retreated, but Liu Sizhe was very polite and did not appear aggressive, so that others did not think that he was bullying.

Of course, Liu Sizhe would definitely not think that he would scare others away by quoting the price once, and in fact, there were indeed two people who followed the price, and when they arrived at Zuihou, Liu Sizhe got this Han Dynasty copper mistake Jinbo Mountain Furnace at a price of 495,000.

Next, Liu Sizhe directly followed the staff to the side to transfer the transaction, and after a while, he came back happily with the Boshan furnace. After returning to his seat, there was another burst of congratulations and other words, and Liu Sizhe was overjoyed when he listened.

At the same time, the bidding for the second lot has also begun, the second lot is a pen holder from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the quality is not very good, the starting price is only 1,000, Zuihou was bought for 3,600 yuan.

Soon, a third item was put on the table, which was a Qing Dynasty green jade carved landscape figure Ruyi.

This Ruyi is made of green jade, the texture is delicate, warm, oily and good, the rod holding curve is slightly arced, the lines are tactful and smooth, the front of the wall is carved with deep carving and Yin carving techniques to make landscape figures, the mountains are undulating, the pine is luxuriant, and the clouds are lingering in the air.

The whole vessel is exquisitely clear, contains softness, the composition is exquisite, the ornamentation is vivid, the carving is fine, and the carved landscape characters are lifelike, quite artistic conception. According to the characteristics of the carving, Chu Chen judged that this jade Ruyi should be made by the palace office in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the results given by the different can be true.
