Then the second collection, Li Tang's imitation "Fish Hidden Picture" also sold for $6o and was bought by Bruce. Joyce was in a hurry, hoping to get the treasure, but his financial strength was limited, and he couldn't shoot it for more than $5O. Mr. Song wanted to collect non-calligraphy and painting collections because he photographed the "Red Mural Scroll", so he didn't fight with Bruce.

Alan took out two more Song Dynasty bride wedding dresses. These two wedding dresses are exactly the two that Li Yibai wants to do. These two wedding dresses can be said to be exactly the same, except that one of them has a lot of accessories, and those accessories are not valuable, they are all some jade, and a little silver.

Alan hesitated for a moment in the face of the starting price of the two wedding dresses. 'David, the price of these two wedding dresses should be the same. ’

David had also looked at the two wedding dresses carefully, and he certainly couldn't be the same. You see that this piece has a lot of jade, and silver rings, and this silver ring is made by a special process in the Song Dynasty, and this jade is also drilled with very small holes, which shows that the craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty is very powerful, and there are pulleys that are perforated. These pendants show the appreciation style and artistic perception of the Song Dynasty people. ’

David said a lot of nice things about the gorgeous wedding dress, and finally said, 'This modest wedding dress costs $5ooo. The gorgeous wedding dress is priced at $30,000. ’

After listening to it, Li Yibai smiled secretly, these are just two identical clothes, but one of them has some more things hanging on it, and they actually priced it 5 times. Hehe. Connoisseurs are.

Anyway, as long as the words are profound, or the thing is complicated, you can see how good it is. Connoisseurs will speak for the ancients.

This made Li Yibai understand that if it was the same thing in the future, he would build it and bring it again.

So these two clothes, the modest starting price is 5ooo dollars, and the gorgeous starting price is 30,000 US dollars.

After a few rounds of bidding, both were auctioned by Joyce. The little buyers all sighed. Bruce and Mr. Song were not very interested in these two wedding dresses because they were folk wedding dresses, so they didn't shoot them.

But Joyce was very happy when he saw it, he just liked Chinese gadgets, and he felt that this time it was not in vain.

Finally, it was Allen's turn to have the last piece of collectibles in his hands. Northern Song Dynasty agarwood pen holder. This cylinder was also engraved by Li Yibai.

Those words are: Li Kui gave it to Song Gongming's brother.

Alan and David looked at the starting price.

Alan said, 'There was an agarwood pen holder in Duo Poly that was a little smaller than this pen holder and it was sold for $6o. We should start at $50,000. You see. ’

David said, 'This won't work. You don't understand Chinese culture, do you? I have watched "Water Margin" and studied the history of the Song Dynasty. Song Jiang led 36 people to rise up as mentioned in the history of the Song Dynasty, which is true. Song Jiang is also a person who exists in history. But the names of those 36 people are not written in the history books. So some people say that the characters in "Water Margin", except for Song Jiang, are all fictional. But this pen holder, we have identified that it is indeed from the Northern Song Dynasty. It coincides with the time of day.

And Li Kui's name appeared on this tube. Li Kui is Song Jiang's loyal younger brother. That's one of the 36 people. It was written on this tube that Li Kui gave it to Song Jiang.

This shows that Li Kui is a real character. This pen holder has a heavy dà literary value. ’

Alan was puzzled for a moment, 'Documentary value?' ’

David said, 'Yes. Prove that Li Kui is the real existence of zài. That's a great thing. Because Li Kui's previous appearances were all in "Water Margin" and some romance novels. This pen holder proves Li Kui's true existence. The book "Water Margin" is very popular in Asia and has a huge influence. This proof will make many people pay attention to the character of Li Kui again. And it may also lead to the study of "Water Margin" as an official history. This will cause a shock in the historiographical circles.

So the pricing of this pen holder, we have to think about it. ’

Alan said, 'Since it's important. Then we'll start at $10,000. ’

David said, 'Now agarwood is on the verge of extinction. In China's Guangdong and Hainan, it is already difficult to find wild tree species, and artificial planting is not possible. This agarwood is simply golden.

Therefore, the antiques of agarwood are very expensive, and a small string of agarwood Buddha bead bracelets are sold for 6ooo-7ooo dollars. A year ago, the price of the pen holder started at $50,000. But this year, the price of agarwood is still rising.

It is rumored that Sotheby's has a dragon bed of the Qing Dynasty emperor, made of 3 tons of agarwood, and experts estimate it at 300 million US dollars.

Given the increase in the price of agarwood this year, coupled with the documentary value of this pen holder. We set it at $3o million. ’

Agarwood is so valuable in modern society, it was Li Yibai who thought of it when he was in the Northern Song Dynasty Xue Jiade antique shop, and he had a flash of inspiration at that time, so he thought of the pen holder and table with agarwood.

So at that time, he was willing to pay 2oo taels of silver to buy Xue Jiade's dining table. This qiē was exactly what he expected. Agarwood is on the verge of extinction, plus it is an antiquity of the Song Dynasty, and of course the price is extremely expensive.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, agarwood was only difficult to transport and process, and the wood production was still very rich, so the price was not high compared to modern society.

Allen picked up the agarwood pen holder and shouted loudly, "The agarwood pen holder of the Northern Song Dynasty is a gift from Li Kui to Song Jiang, and it has heavy literary value. Prices start at $3O. ’

Li Kui gave Song Jiang something, and Li Yibai smiled faintly. This is what he made people engrave, and this is really the same as he originally imagined, processing it, and appreciating 6 times.

The starting price was so high, Joyce immediately turned off the fire, and after he bought the two wedding dresses, the money left was not enough for 3o thousand. But Mr. Song and Bruce are passionate.

'5o million. Mr. Song held up his sign. Li Kui gave it to Song Jiang, what a heavy literary value this is. I have to buy it, and when the expert wants to see me in the future, I will charge him a fee.

'7o million yuan. Bruce immediately raised his card. Li Kui and Song Jiang, this is an antique with a heavy dà meaning, and there is a lot of room for price increase in the future. It has to be taken for my investors.

'8o million yuan. Mr. Song held up his sign.

'1oo million yuan. Bruce held up his card.

'12o million. Mr. Song held up his sign.

The small buyers in these venues have become spectators, and every time they raise their signs, there is a chorus.

'15o million. Bruce didn't think. See if you dare to add?

Because Mr. Song had filmed "Red Mural Scroll" before, the remaining money was only 13o yuan. So the bidding stopped. The pen holder sold for $150,000. Attributed to Bruce.

That's when Bruce made a phone call to one of his journalist friends. Bruce is not just a fund manager, he is also a sinologist. He is well aware of the important documentary value of this pen holder. At the same time, there is the thinking of speculating on stocks before. He plans to ask his journalist friends to help hype up the pen holder so that the price of the pen holder will increase. He can make a lot of money.

'Helen, come to the boutique hotel. There's an auction here, and I got a special agarwood pen holder. The above confirms that Li Kui, an important character in the classical Chinese novel "Water Margin", is real. This matter is a very good material, I will put it to you, and you will report it. ’

Helen soon appeared in the room, grabbed his camera, and took a picture.

Two hours later, the news spread throughout the United States. The American Net, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, as well as Facebook and Twitter all went crazy.

Bob was watching TV at home and saw the news. At a small auction at a boutique hotel in San Francisco, an agarwood pen holder from the Song Dynasty was sold, confirming that Li Kui, the main character in the ancient Chinese novel "Water Margin," was real. This message is bound to cause a stir in the East Asian cultural sphere. ’

Bob turned to his assistant Carter and said, "I didn't expect this kid Alan to have something really good." Help me check out, is there still his auction? You help me get something good. ’

Carter said, 'Yes. Boss. ’

Soon, the news spread to China, and it was even more bombarded with indiscriminate propaganda in the Chinese media, TV stations, newspapers, web portals, micro. Bo topics are all headlines.

It even caused the re-sale of "Water Margin".

Many people in China have begun to inquire who the seller of this thing is. Allen faced questions from reporters, and he always refused on the grounds that this was a trade secret and the protection of the seller.

Alan was even more excited. Today's auction turnover is more than the total turnover of his auction in several years.

The goal was achieved so quickly, thanks to this unfathomable Mr. Lee.

Mr. Li said that he also had two more valuable items for me to auction tomorrow, what are they? I'm really looking forward to it. It was a pleasure to work with this Mr. Lee.

At this time, the well-known collection magazine "Treasure" of the National Auction Association also came to interview and wanted to make an introduction to Allen's Field Auction House.

When Alan heard the news, he jumped up excitedly. What an honor it is to be featured in the highest review magazine in the collecting world, Treasures, the magazine, the pricing, the latest collectibles ready for auction, and the dynamics of the auction house, if the auction house is introduced, it will be easy to start business again, and the auction house will soon become a medium-sized auction house.

Allen's dream of becoming Sotheby's in the industry is one step closer.

Allen said to the crowd and to the reporters, 'Tomorrow, there's another auction here. There are two more valuable items, please arrive on time. ’

After finishing speaking, Alan walked up to Li Yibai and said, "Thank you so much." What made me so accomplished today. ’

Li Yibai said lightly, "You're welcome, Allen, this also has your pay." ’

Allen took the initiative to invite Li Yibai to dinner, and handed over a copy of "Treasure" magazine to Li Yibai. 'There's all the going on in the world of collecting. Mr. Li looks, there are great benefits. ’

Li Yibai heard him say this, and also decided to subscribe to this magazine in the future.
