159. The finale lot
The auction is still going on, with a few more climaxes in between.
It's just that those bottles and cans, Lin Chao can't be interested at all, so he doesn't pay much attention.
Slowly the auction came to an end, and the objects that Lin Chao was concerned about were about to come.
He flipped to the last page of the manual, and saw two terracotta figurines standing there.
This is a pair of samurai figurines.
Like the famous Tang Sancai, they were also burial goods at that time.
The high-grade ones are glazed terracotta figurines, and the second-class ones are fired into pottery and then painted.
The most humble are the stone and wood dolls.
Most of these warrior figurines were wearing bright light armor, and some of them had scarves on their heads.
It is the true portrayal of the Tang army during that period.
Buying them was not a temporary idea for Lin Chao.
Right now, there is a Tang Dynasty weapons exhibition hall in the Beacon Museum.
However, the system can only be exchanged for weapons and armor.
There are no cultural relics to furnish, and I always feel that something is missing.
It's like drawing a dragon without those eyes.
"Friends, the most exciting time has arrived."
Zhao Kaiwei roared hoarsely.
He was tired, but his spirits were still high.
Under some agitation, the atmosphere was ignited again, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder.
This effect made Zhao Kaiwei very satisfied.
The next lot is called "The Finale". ”
Not necessarily the most expensive, but certainly the most valuable.
After making a quiet gesture, he said in a magnetic voice:
"Datang is brilliant, Datang is strong. Culture is one aspect, military is another. The pair of warrior figurines to be auctioned next is a true portrayal of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"When they were in the sun, they fought bloodily for the country and the nation. When you go to the underworld, you have to fight with demons and monsters for your master. It can really be described as a hero in life, and a ghost in death. ”
However, for the burial goods of the Tang Dynasty, everyone is most familiar with Tang Sancai. But it's very unfamiliar with samurai figurines. ”
"It's usually used to suppress graves or evil. There are two types of shapes, samurai figurines and celestial figurines. The difference is very simple, the one with a ghost or a beast under his feet is the Celestial King Warrior. No, it's the samurai figurines. ”
"The pair auctioned today is a cultural relic that has returned from abroad. They are beautifully shaped and have no distortion of body proportions, which is a rare masterpiece. ”
On the display screen behind him, a clear photo of the samurai figurines appeared.
It's the same as in the auction brochure, but it's enlarged and detailed.
At the same time, there are also the comments of those experts in the identification of cultural relics.
Just when everyone was watching intently.
The lights slowly darkened, and in the end only a beam of light remained on the stage.
Just when he was puzzled, four emcees wearing red cheongsams slowly pushed a small cart over.
There was a box more than a meter high in the car.
It's just covered by royal blue flannel.
Zhao Kaiwei put down the gavel in his hand.
He walked quickly to the cart and said in a grateful tone:
At this point, my heart was excited. In my 12-year auction career, it was the first time I had come into contact with such a precious ornament. ”
"Here, I would like to solemnly thank the organizers and the auction. It is you who have set up this stage to give me such an opportunity! ”
At this, he bowed deeply.
Then, grabbing a corner of the flannel, gently pulled it apart.
"Wow!"
The people in the venue let out all kinds of exclamations.
In an instant, the lights became incredibly bright again.
Let the crystal glass cabinet under the flannel also reveal a strange light.
The two warrior figurines placed inside are even more majestic and unstoppable.
They are about 1 meter tall and stand up.
He wears a yellow scarf on his head, and the bright light armor he wears on his body is also painted with yellow, green, and white glazes.
Their eyes are wide open and their mouths are wide open.
It seems to be angrily reprimanding those ghosts and demons, and stay away from their masters.
Beside Lin Chao, Yan Xinyu whispered:
"The shape of this warrior figurine is very similar to that of the Heavenly King Figurine, and it seems that it should be a work of the middle and late Tang Dynasty."
One expert immediately replied:
"It's a later work, and you can know it by looking at the style of its hood and armor. This Director Lin is more researched. ”
Lin Chao said with a smile:
"I also think it's a later work, but it needs more research. After all, such terracotta figurines are commercial products and cannot be used as a reference in most cases. ”
At this time, Zhao Kaiwei was almost introduced, and he walked quickly to the auction table.
"This pair of warrior figurines has a reserve price of 1.5 million, and each bid shall not be less than 50,000."
"Wow!"
There was another burst of exclamations from everyone in the audience.
They also thought that the finale would sell for a sky-high price, but who knew it would be so cheap.
However, surprise is surprise, and there are not many people who make an offer.
This kind of thing is a burial object after all.
Except for museums and those who are out of the cracks.
Who would dare to put such a pair of fierce and evil things in the house.
Not to mention anything else, in Feng Shui, this is a big taboo.
"1.5 million."
Finally, a big man raised his hand.
It was very hot in the auction room, and many people were wearing short-sleeved T-shirts.
The man's bare arms were tattooed with patterns, and at first glance he knew that he was a mixed society.
Lin Chao, who was sitting in the VIP room, wrote a number on the tablet.
"1.6 million!"
The mixed man looked around, but didn't notice who raised his hand.
He cursed under his breath before raising his hand again.
"2.2 million."
Lin Chao smiled.
"2.3 million."
The price of the samurai figurines is not high.
In addition to the above reasons, there are too many unearthed in recent years.
Especially after the imitation army joined, even the price of the genuine product was impacted.
In an auction a few years ago, there was a pair of poor workmanship, but in the end it was only sold for 100,000 yuan.
After the seller paid the commission and appraisal fee, he even posted the car travel expenses.
Today's sellers, however, are far luckier.
At least at this price, he has already made a small profit.
The mixed man shouted.
"2.6 million!"
Over the years, business has become more and more difficult.
Some traditional businesses, such as collecting protection fees, are no longer possible.
People like them can only go and work for certain real estate developers.
Usually engage in demolition and the like.
In this way, the competition is getting stronger and stronger.
Recently, he was hacked once, and he almost lost his life.
After listening to the words of a certain master, he suddenly realized.
If you don't have any money in your life, if you want to change your life against the sky, you have to use a murder weapon to suppress it.
Therefore, this pair of samurai figurines is determined to be obtained.
After all, what else is stronger than the "Yin Soldier!" ”
But to his surprise, the person who competed with him made another offer.
"2.7 million!"
The man in the mixed society gritted his teeth rattle.
I don't know which bastard it is, it's such a disgusting person, it's more than 100,000 yuan every time.
"Let you be arrogant for a while, and I'll clean you up later!"
"Is there anyone else bidding? 2.7 million! ”
Zhao Kaiwei asked a few times before knocking down the gavel.
Then, as if collapsed, the whole person sat down heavily on the chair behind him.
The auction is finally over!
