204. The auction begins
Everyone chatted for a while, and many people arrived in the hall one after another.
The empty seats in the hall were already full, and Ye Zifeng could feel that the cubicles were also full of people, and none of them were empty, which showed how prosperous the black market of cultural relics was.
Look at the time, it's almost over, and a person comes up on the round platform in the center of the hall, who is the host of tonight's cultural relics auction.
Ye Zifeng knows this person, that is, the host who spent 1 million last time Ye Zifeng took pictures of He Chaozong's porcelain, it can be seen that the division of labor of this cultural relics black market gang is very detailed.
The first bid was for a set of five pieces of porcelain. One teapot, four teacups, all equipped with tea lids, fine and tightly seamed. The reserve price is only 1,000 yuan, which means that these five pieces of porcelain are only 200 yuan on average.
The price is already extremely low, and the discerning person knows that it is modern porcelain at first sight, and if the porcelain is old, it will definitely not be such a price.
These five pieces of porcelain are painted with underglaze colored plum blossom patterns, the whole body is crystal clear, moist like jade, the white space is white and flawless, the wall is thin and even, into a translucent shape, knocking it has a sound, the sound is crisp and pleasant.
Each piece of porcelain is painted with a branch of the old plum, the plum branch is simple and simple, the plum blossom is red and dotted, and the whole drawing is integrated, vivid and natural.
Ye Zifeng looked at the style again, on the sole of the porcelain foot, in the very neat seal script "Jingdezhen system" two lines of four-character paragraphs. Seeing this knowledge, Ye Zifeng had a bottom in his heart.
After looking at it, Zhang Lu asked impatiently: "Brother Ye, is this porcelain from the Qing Dynasty?" Or porcelain from the Ming Dynasty? ”
"What do you say?" Ye Zifeng didn't directly tell Zhang Lu what he thought in his heart.
"I see, it's definitely not the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, you see that the workmanship of this porcelain is very exquisite, if it is the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, it must not be the reserve price of 1,000 yuan."
Zhang Lu is not the kind of person who is completely big-chested and brainless, she can see the clue at a glance. At a price of 1,000 yuan, you will never be able to buy such exquisite porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.
"Since it is not from the Ming Dynasty, and the reserve price is only 1,000 yuan, it is most likely to be porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, and it is also from a private kiln, do you think what I said is right?"
Zhang Lu is like an appraiser, but no one else speaks, and there are experts, and they are too lazy to use their brains. They all looked at Ye Zifeng, waiting to see the identification results of Ye Zifeng.
In the eyes of Li Kai and Zhang Jie, they only feel that these porcelains are too new, and they do not have the sense of obsolescence and time of cultural relics at all. The older the artifact, the better, and the more valuable it is.
And Sun Wu had seen Ye Zifeng's ability, and with Ye Zifeng in front of him, he naturally didn't dare to speak.
"At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were 1000 years of history, and fine porcelain with 100 years of history was not only 1,000 yuan. In fact, this set of porcelain will not last more than 20 years at most! Ye Zifeng told Zhang Lu.
"Only 20 years? Also used for bidding? This is not a country of rice, only a hundred years old, unearthed a few decades of Dongdong, you can use it to show off, this is China, there is a history of 5,000 years! Li Kai said disdainfully. In his opinion, no cultural relics can be called without objects that are thousands of years old.
"Although these porcelains are only 20 years old, they are indeed valuable cultural relics! The price of 10,000 is unstoppable! Ye Zifeng said.
"Is it that batch of porcelain?" Sun Wu, who is very clear about the modern history of China, exclaimed.
"Yes, it's the porcelain!" Ye Zifeng said with great certainty.
"What batch of porcelain?" Luo Qingxue asked curiously.
"It's Mao porcelain!" Ye Zifeng told Luo Qingxue.
When he passed his hand just now, he carefully looked at the porcelain, drawing, and style, and only 7501 porcelain would be so beautiful in modern porcelain, and it was definitely a fine porcelain in porcelain.
7501 Mao porcelain refers to a top-secret task issued by the State Government Office in January 1975, which is to design and fire a set of special living porcelain for the chairman, which was produced by the Jingdezhen National Porcelain Research Institute. The code name is "7501", which is the origin of "7501" porcelain wool.
Later, Jingdezhen imitated a batch of "7501" porcelain, that is, now there is a "7801" model of porcelain on the market, but in the workmanship and "7501" is not the same, so the collection of porcelain is the first to recommend "7501" porcelain.
"Mao porcelain? The porcelain used by the great man of the country? ”
Zhang Lu, Li Kai and Zhang Jie were all shocked, that thunderous name completely scorched them inside and out, that existence was not something they could touch.
"It's not that he used it, it's part of the batch of porcelain that was specially customized for him." Ye Zifeng explained: "If it is used, it will be collected in the Kyoto Museum, and it will never be lost to the people."
"Oh, I see!"
Hearing Ye Zifeng's explanation, Li Kai and Zhang Jie were relieved, it was not used by the great man himself, and the bidding must not be so fierce.
"Likai, let me tell you, you are not allowed to fight with me for this set of porcelain, I must take a photograph!"
Zhang Lu first pointed the finger at Li Kai, she was only worried about Li Kai fighting with her, not about others. So, give him a vaccination first.
"Why?" Li Kai is gone.
"What are you doing so trembling! I said yes, yes! You are not allowed to rob me! He pouted like a hen that had just laid eggs.
"The auction has just started, and you're fighting? What to do with this? That's not to start, it's cheaper sellers! Luo Qingxue teased.
Luo Qingxue's words reminded everyone, everyone thought about it, and in the end, everyone discussed and took turns to participate in the auction, starting with Zhang Lu, Li Kai, Zhang Jie, Ye Zifeng, Sun Wu and Luo Qingxue took the initiative to give up the auction opportunity.
The first auction was attended by Zhang Lu on behalf of everyone.
At this time, this set of porcelain has been bid to 5,000 yuan, five times the reserve price, many people can see that this is wool porcelain, the price on the market is 8,000-10,000 yuan this level.
"8,000 pieces!" Zhang Lu bid for the first time, and he was more excited, so the voice was very loud, which attracted everyone's attention, and some people couldn't help but glance at the compartment, although they couldn't see anything clearly.
"10,000 yuan!" Someone in the hall is bidding again.
"20,000 yuan!" Before the man's words fell, Zhang Lu began to quote urgently.
This time, almost all the people in the hall turned their heads to look at Ye Zifeng's cubicle, they felt curious, like this kind of small object, the big people in the cubicle generally don't fight with them, if even these small objects, those big predators have to take action, they don't want to get involved at all.
The price of 200000 has exceeded the market price by more than double.
Seeing that Zhang Lu had doubled the price all at once, the man shook his head and finally gave up.
"20,000 yuan once, 20,000 yuan twice, is there a higher price than 20,000 yuan ?。。。。" The host standing on the circular table in the middle of the hall shouted again and again: "Okay, 20,000 yuan is sold by the No. 3 private room!" ”
As soon as the host made the final decision, this set of porcelain belonged to Zhang Lu.
"Li Kai, this set of porcelain is mine, do you know, it is the only set of porcelain in Xiangjiang. When the time comes, I will ask my dad to invite your dad to tea, and I will use this set of porcelain porcelain, do you say that there is face? Not to mention 20,000 yuan, even 2 million is worth it! Zhang Lu showed off to Likai.
It is difficult for rich people to understand their thinking, and millions are just a matter of sprinkling water, which is simply insignificant compared to face. Just like a rich man later said, build a small goal of 100 million first, you will never enter the world of rich people.
The second auction is a long scroll of calligraphy. The reserve price is 20,000 yuan.
The heart of the long scroll is sprinkled with gold wax paper, and it is lined with kraft paper, and the book is Zhang Mi's "Late Autumn Over the Dongting", Wen Tingyun's "Nanhu", and Yu Yan's "West Lake", and there is "Gengwu Spring and March Iron Protection" signed, and there are two seals under the paragraph. One seal is blurred, and one seal is the angle seal "Iron Stone Mountain Mark" Zhu Wenyin.
Zhang Mi is a writer of Shu after five generations, one of the representatives of the Huajian School, and his words are refined with words, ingenious chapters, and delicate descriptions. His "Late Autumn Over the Dongting" "The first time the sail is hung up, the wine is drunk, and the twilight scene is unbearable." Thousands of miles of sunset clouds dream north, a continent of frost orange cave south. The stream wind sends rain over the autumn temple, and the stream stone frightens the dragon and falls into the night pool. Don't hang the soul of Xiang, and lock the smoke with nine doubts."
Wen Tingyun was a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, and Yu Yan was a poet in the late Song and early Yuan dynasties.
The works of three poets of different eras are praised as calligraphy works, with harmonious and natural chapters, sparse and dense vertical and horizontal, thick or thin strokes, or central or side strokes, and yin and yang frustration. The whole momentum is through, the flesh and bones are evenly stopped, the pen is skillful, the rigidity and softness are combined, which is pleasing to the eye, and it is everyone's book at a glance.
"Hey, who wrote this, it's pretty good!" Zhang Lu looked left and west, but he didn't see that it was written.
"Not bad? You write a picture and see! Li Kai sneered.
"No one asks you, what are you talking about!" Zhang Lu was-for-tat.
"This should be the calligraphy of the Qing Dynasty." After Ye Zifeng looked at it, he could see at a glance that this was the work of Tie Bao, a master of calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty.
"Tiebao? Haven't heard of it! Zhang Jie and Li Kai both frowned, if Zheng Banqiao, the prime minister of the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, and the prime minister Liu Yong, they had also heard of it, and Tie Bao was indeed very unfamiliar.
"Tiebao? How does the name not sound like a Han Chinese? Luo Qingxue didn't know who Tie Bao was.
"Tie Bao is indeed not a Han Chinese, he is a native of Manchuria Zhenghuangqi, and Prince Cheng Yong, Liu Yong, Weng Fanggang, known as "the four great calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty", he has a love for calligraphy for ten minutes in his life, which can be seen from one of his poems, "Half a life of smearing habits are difficult to get rid of, a term of others laughing at ink, he is a child and grandson to search for paintings, do not leave gold coins but leave books." This long scroll is a rare masterpiece for him, and the reserve price of 20,000 yuan is not high." Ye Zifeng told everyone.
Li Kai and Zhang Jie are not interested in this calligraphy work, as the top family in Xiangjiang, their collection object is naturally not at the level of Tiebao, if it is Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu, Huaisu, they will rush to ask for it.
In the end, this long scroll of Qing Dynasty calligraphy master Tiebao has gone through several rounds of bidding, and was finally won by the people in the "No. 1" box at a price of 120,000 yuan.
