Chapter 740: The Auction Begins

"When Mrs. Shu was young, she worked too hard to create Zhengyu International! When she was older, she also founded a charitable foundation, and she liked to do everything by herself, and she worked hard, so her body fell into a hidden disease. ”

Chu Yihong told Zhou You the reason, she was obviously quite familiar with Mrs. Shu.

"Welcome all guests and friends to visit this annual auction, the organizer of this year's auction still entrusts us Tianyu International to be responsible for the appraisal and guarantee!"

After Mrs. Shu said a few words, she said: "Due to physical reasons, I will not personally host tonight's dinner, but I will always participate in the whole process, and I hope that everyone here will support our cause..."

After Mrs. Shu came to the stage and said a few words, she asked Zhao Qianmei to help her, sat down at a table under the stage, and then replaced it with a male host.

"Well, everyone must have seen a lot of favorite lots in the three exhibition areas! However, the lots in this on-site auction are all peerless treasures and priceless unique items, which are basically several grades higher than those in the exhibition area, and I hope that those with strength will participate in the auction!"

The male host said this, and said: "According to the usual practice, in order to ensure the value of the lots, the auction must invite the most authoritative treasure connoisseur in the industry to conduct on-site introductions and appraisals! Next, we will conduct the first round of bidding tonight, and I hope that all friends will raise more cards and support more! Now, the auction has officially begun......

Whoa...

There was a round of applause, and then several hostesses sent the objects that participated in the first round of bidding to the stage one by one, and the auctioneer in charge of the auction also came to the stage.

Finally, a treasure connoisseur in a white Tang costume appeared on the stage...

As soon as he saw the treasure connoisseur, Chu Yihong immediately introduced Zhou You: "The treasure connoisseur on the stage, named Wanyu Mountain, is a well-known figure in the antique industry, and his ancestor is a big offering of the pawnshop, and he also created a "Jianzhen Pavilion" that continues to this day! He is a great collector himself, and he is also a master of treasure connoisseurship with profound skills! It was specially invited by Mrs. Shu to help with treasure appraisal and the town!"

"Oh! It seems that this old man is not simple!"

Zhou You nodded, he was quite interested in Wanyu Mountain on the stage, because Chu Yihong said that he was a big collector, maybe he had 10,000-year-old Xuantie in his hand.

Thinking of this, Zhou You couldn't help but ask Chu Yihong again: "Sister Hong, I want to get to know this Wan Lao, are you familiar with him?"

"I haven't dealt with him much, so I don't know him well..."

Chu Yihong shook her head, and then said: "Sister Qianmei and Mrs. Shu are very familiar with Wan Lao, if you have the heart to make friends with Wan Lao, you can ask Sister Qianmei to help you build a line!"

"Oh! I see, I'll tell her when she's done..."Zhou You nodded.

After Wanyu Mountain came to the stage, he sat down on a table of eight immortals on the side of the stage, and immediately after that, a lady of etiquette gave him a pot of soaked red robes.

The male host said on the stage: "The first round of bidding is an antique and antique collection..."

"Alright, let's get started..."

Wan Yushan said this, then picked up a cup of tea and drank it contentedly.

First of all, a hostess uncovered the red cloth of the first lot, which was a piece of porcelain, specifically a bowl-shaped porcelain.

Wan Yushan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then stood up and introduced to everyone in the audience: "This pottery, known as Chenghua Chicken Cup, comes from Chengyao and is the ancestor of Doucai porcelain. The body of the cup is painted with a picture of a chicken pecking and feeding early, the posture is lifelike, the picture image is vivid, full of interest, and the whole family is happy. The shape of the cup is open, shallow abdomen, lying foot, and its shape is like a cylinder, so it is called a chicken bowl cup. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Yushan continued: "Doucai porcelain firing technology requirements are higher, you need to use blue and white fine lines to lightly trace the outline of the decoration, glaze into the kiln through high temperature firing carcass, and then fill the second kiln low temperature roasting, also known as teasing.

The porcelain of the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty was highly respected by later generations, and the fine products were even more rare. At present, there are only 5 pieces of this chicken bowl cup in the people, and the others are all collected by the museum! After identification, the starting price of this chicken bowl cup on the stage is 200 million!

As soon as Wan Lao finished speaking, he sat back in his chair...

And there was already an uproar in the audience, because many people didn't expect that the first auction item was a chicken bowl cup that looked only the size of a palm, and it turned out to be a reserve price of 200 million!

However, the audience is basically rich and powerful people who have seen the world, and of course there are many people who know the goods...

I remembered that at the Sotheby's Spring Auction on Hong Kong Island the year before last, a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was sold for 250 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"I also went to that auction, and I was stunned when I saw that little chicken bowl cup, which could fetch such a high price!"

"The main thing is that it is rare and precious! this is the true value of treasures..."

"That's right, it's because it's so rare, that's why it's so expensive!But I think there's still a lot of room for appreciation in this chicken bowl cup!

"220 million...

"240 million!"

"I'll give 260 million..."

When the auction was announced, there was a brief silence in the audience, followed by several bidders.

After a while, when someone shouted 280 million, it had already set a new record for the Sotheby's auction, and the audience began to commotion.

Soon, the price of this chicken tank was coaxed up, and there were not many people participating in the auction, and the price soared all the way, and finally it was sold at a price of 300 million.

The first round started well, and the enthusiasm of the whole audience was mobilized, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

"It's really unexpected, a small porcelain cup, 300 million to buy..."

Although he also knew that the lot that could be auctioned on the stage was worth a lot, he didn't expect it to be so high.

"Hehe... This is just the beginning, and there are more expensive lots to come!"

Chu Yihong next to him said with a smile.

Sure enough, the red cloth was uncovered in the second lot, and it turned out to be a porcelain, which was a porcelain bowl with a strange color.

This is Yao change Tianmu Zhan, this bowl was known as the first lamp in the world in the Song Dynasty, spread to the Wa Kingdom through the area of Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang, known as the Tang Tianmu Zhan, and was worshiped as a tea drinking artifact in all dynasties. At present, there are only four complete devices in the world!

According to reliable historical records, the way of refining this Yao Chang Tianmu is very special, and when the kiln is opened, one child and one male and one woman must be used to take their blood and sacrifice it, so the essence is condensed and condensed into a strange ear. Hence the change...

This Yao Changing Heavenly Eye Lamp can be exchanged for one of these pools in the Song Dynasty! It has been passed down so far, and it is even more valuable! At present, this Yao Changing Heavenly Eye Lamp on the stage has a starting price of 550 million yuan!"

Wanyushan solemnly introduced the past and present life of the Yaochang Tianmu Cup, and said the reserve price.
