302 Auction begins
The fat woman and her little white face are like two villains in a farce, and when the villain clown leaves, the farce comes to an end and ends immediately.
And this time is also the time when the real auction starts in the afternoon.
Fat Du first greeted Zhang Jin and Old Man Liu with a completely different and pleasant face from when he faced the fat woman before, affectionately but not flatteringly, and then turned around and boarded the protocol desk in front of the conference hall.
Du Fatzi first knocked on the auctioneer's hammer twice, reminded everyone to sit down, and handed the hammer in his hand to a middle-aged auctioneer wearing gold-wire glasses next to him.
At this point, the official auction began in the afternoon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction......"
After the auctioneer's polite words, the auctioneer on the ceremonial table began to introduce as a beautiful woman put a tray with a delicate gourd on the display table in front of the ceremonial table.
"The first exhibit in the auction below is a cricket gourd from the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, a material made of rosewood, and a lid of white ivory......"
When the auctioneer finished the introduction, interested people got up one after another and came close to admire.
And Zhang Jin and Ye Hong also followed behind Mr. Liu and Mr. Jin and went around in front of the booth.
This is a very cute-looking, sharp-tailed, slimmed-down and flare-mouthed little gourd.
The 123-centimeter-tall gourd has a purple and black body, with a dark and bright color that is often polished because people often play with it. On the gourd, there are several bushes of pampas reeds carved and a few looming fish swimming in the middle.
Although there are only a few brushstrokes, they are very vivid and interesting.
The lid of the gourd, which was supposed to be tooth white, has turned a little yellow, and there is a relief of the word Fu hidden on it.
This little thing looks so appealing that it makes people feel the urge to put it in their hands and play with it twice. And no matter the shape, or the color of the light, it looks quite historical. In Zhang Jin's pair of 'thief eyes', this is indeed an old object, which can be regarded as a good boutique.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Items: Old red sandalwood tooth cover cricket gourd;
Item name: Ludang carved and painted cricket gourd;
Age of physical history: 161 years;
Maker Level: Level 4;
Item value: Level 3;
Estimated value: 221 coins of silver;
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The age and material can be the right thing the auctioneer said, and it is obvious that the auctioneer in the afternoon is much more reliable than the 'second pole' in the morning. At least in the presentation of this object, there is no nonsense about running trains. If it were the one in the morning, it would be estimated that this cricket gourd would have become the emperor's treasure.
As the crowd that came to see them returned to their places, the auctioneer reopened:
"This 'Ludang Carved Painted Cricket Gourd' is definitely a good thing, players should not miss it. The starting price is 60,000, and the minimum is 500 each time. Bidding is now open! β
Suddenly, the bidding buzzers came and went.
Obviously, there are quite a few people who know the goods.
Soon, the first lot sold for 120,000 yuan. It was a good start to the afternoon auction.
Then, the second and third auction items were staged.
The atmosphere of the scene also reached its first climax.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the afternoon auction, although it was also true and fake, there were indeed a lot of fine products, and according to the old man's words, the price was at least half lower than that of the regular market.
It's no wonder that there are so many people in the collecting world who boast of their extraordinary eyesight crowding here.
It's a pity that the effort of chatting with Mr. Liu at noon only aroused Zhang Jin's interest in appreciation, and he still has no love for the hobby of collecting for the time being, at least it is difficult to be interested in these levels of treasures.
There's no way, there are too many good things in the system store, even the 'Twelve Buddha Blessing Orbs' that I found in the morning, I only wait for low-grade products in Zhang Jin's system store.
It is difficult for people who sit on Baoshan to be interested in stone rubble. β¦,
Therefore, more than a dozen things were auctioned off, and Zhang Jin used his 'thief's eyes' to aim at them every time.
After coming back, I asked Mr. Liu, who appreciated and collected everyone, to comment and explain, and he didn't even shout once.
And Ye Hong came today because she wanted to join in the fun with Zhang Jin.
Not to mention that Ye Hong is not interested in collecting, even if Ye Hong is interested in these things, she can't afford to play with these things with her net worth.
Although Ye Hong's name of 'director' sounds quite loud, it is actually just a white-collar worker with a good income, and there is still a long way to go from the gold collar. Not to mention compared to these rich tycoons.
Therefore, the game of the rich such as 'antique collection' is not something that she, a small white-collar worker, can play, at least for the time being.
Even if Zhang Jin is now a small rich man with a net worth of tens of millions, Ye Hong, a chick, is very self-reliant financially, and she is not the kind of loser who uses her own man's money to make money. Therefore, she naturally will not use Zhang Jin as a purse and play this kind of loser's 'game'.
Therefore, like Zhang Jin, Ye Hong didn't shout the price once, and he didn't even touch the bidder. It's just like listening to a story, listening to Mr. Liu's comments and explanations on each auction item with relish.
"This cricket gourd is one of the five treasures of the stubborn masters of the 'Eight Banners' in our Sijiu City at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the cricket gourd on the waist, the bird cage in the left hand, the purple sand teapot in the right hand, the snuff bottle in the sleeve pocket, and the pocket watch in the pocket ......"
β¦β¦
"Enamel color is also called cloisonnΓ©, and the full name is porcelain fetal painting enamel. The copper tire enamel color is a pioneering achievement of porcelain art during the Kangxi period. The enamel plum vase in the above booth is indeed an object of the Kangqian period, but it is a pity that it is produced by the kiln, the style is not good, and the process is a little rougher. β
β¦β¦
"Jade is the ear ornament or crown ornament in the past. Most of the objects that have been handed down to the present day are unearthed from burial goods. It's all ancient jade, and it's said to be a good thing, especially if the jade plate is good, it's worth a hundred times. And at this time, I am also trying to get a better piece of ancient jade and play with it with me.
But unfortunately, the delicacy on the front booth is delicate enough, but unfortunately it is not a treasure. The pulp is thick, and this aspect is good, but unfortunately the color is only left on the surface, apparently because the time in the soil is not long enough. If you bury it for another three or five or seven years, even if I don't look carefully at the old man, it will be difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. β
β¦β¦
Old man Liu, who is a good teacher, talked in his mouth, while popularizing knowledge for Zhang Jin and Ye Hong, the two young children, while fiddling with the auctioneer in his hand without stopping, and frequently made moves.
After seeing a few things that Old Man Liu had photographed, Zhang Jin sighed and admired it.
In the end, this old man Liu is a person with outstanding eyesight and deep wealth, and he has already auctioned out more than a dozen items, among which there are only five or six real objects and good objects, and most of them have fallen into Old Man Liu's pocket.
has shot so many times, and none of them have been fooled, and the strength of appraisal and appreciation is really extraordinary.
When Mr. Liu auctioned a pair of ebony-handled jade Ruyi from the early Qing Dynasty again, the auctioneer introduced the next exhibit:
"This auction item is "Jiangyin Night Rain Picture" is the work of Mr. Fubai, the condition is intact, and it is definitely a fine product that has survived to this day...... Mr. Floating White is ......"
When the auctioneer introduced the painting from age to author, Zhang Jin, Ye Hong and the two old men got up again and went to the booth to look around and come back.
I heard the auctioneer shout:
"Mr. Fubai's "Jiangyin Night Rain", the starting price is 200,000 yuan. At least 5,000 per increase, you can start bidding, buyers. β
This time, Old Man Liu put the bidder aside, without the slightest intention of participating in the auction, and shook his head with a sigh, "It's a pity that it's fake, otherwise I really plan to buy it." ββ¦,
After speaking, under the questioning of Ye Hong, a curious baby, Old Man Liu introduced.
"This Mr. Fubai is Bian Wenyu, a landscape master in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. It is a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu, the word Runfu, and the number is Fubai or Luoan. His 'Lotus Pavilion Pin Summer Fan' and 'Huzhuang Qingxia Fan', I remember that they seem to be in the 'Palace Museum' now. β
As he spoke, Old Man Liu showed an inquiring look to Old Man Jin. After seeing Old Man Jin nodding in confirmation, Old Man Liu continued.
"This Mr. Fubai can be regarded as the top landscape master of that period. In his early and middle-aged years, he was deeply influenced by Mr. Zhao Zuo, and he was regarded as an authentic Wumen legacy. In addition, he admired the calligraphy of Master Dong Qichang, so later generations commented that his works in that period were "very thoughtful in layout and structure, and the hooks and stones of trees and stones are quite brushy".
But it's a pity that because he pursues too much humor and imagery, his landscapes are unreal. Therefore, the evaluation is not high, and it is criticized as "the ink is too loose, and the weak ears are missed", "the landscape is more slippery, and the younger is old".
It was not until the late period that this Mr. Fubai got rid of the influence of Zhao Zuo and chased after the Song and Yuan dynasties, which was considered a masterpiece of painting.
Wang Jian commented on his works in his later years: "The brushwork is beautiful, the vitality is well-informed, and it is very different from the life paintings. β
Wu Meicun even commented on Bian Wenyu in "The Song of Nine Friends in the Painting", saying: "The painting niche is huge and thousands of peaks are thick, and the small scenic spots are out of the forest and pond. In his later years, the pen was really Cangzhou, and the crane was a light prince in the picture. ββ
After Mr. Liu introduced this, he said regretfully:
"If the front booth is genuine, let alone 200,000, even 2 million is not expensive!"
Then, Mr. Liu talked about the basis for his identification as a counterfeit:
"Painting style...... Paper-based ...... Color...... Framed ......"
Here, Mr. Liu commented that it was a fake, and there was nothing in the hall to ask for a price. Obviously, it is not only Mr. Liu who has been identified as a counterfeit. In other words, this painting is so fake that even those collectors whose eyesight is far inferior to that of Old Man Liu can see it.
And the fat sheep who can't identify the authenticity of those who have already come in the morning are not fools, since the room full of people is not optimistic about this painting, they naturally will not stupidly stretch their necks to be slaughtered.
As a result, the hall fell into a rare silence since the start of filming in the afternoon.
Although the auctioneers on the stage tried their best to bewitch them, none of the hundreds of people below called for auction.
As the clock ticked by, it was a foregone conclusion that the lots would not be auctioned. Zhang Jin suddenly pressed a button on the caller.
The auctioneer, who was a little embarrassed because no one had asked for a long time, saw that someone had finally made a bid, and he was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he suddenly became excited.
"The price of the seventy-seventh is 200,000, the price of the seventy-seventh is 200,000, is there anything higher! This is Mr. Bian Wenyu's "Jiangyin Night Rain Map" ......"
