CP96 begins
At the morning auction, a total of eight antiques were sold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among them, there are not only the palace porcelain of the 14th dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, but also the calligraphy works of the famous masters of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the gilded Buddha statue of the Song Dynasty, and the farthest is a three-color porcelain sculpture from the Tang Dynasty.
Although the quantity is small, all of them are high-quality.
In order to compete for these treasures, the customers who participated in the auction vied with each other to bid, shouting out one after another high prices that the Chu family brothers and sisters had to be surprised. Because the competition was so hot, the auction time for these eight antiques alone exceeded three hours.
By the time the show ended, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon. In another hour, at 2 p.m., the final auction will begin.
An hour is enough time to go out for lunch. However, not only because he was still unsatisfied and didn't want to leave this place, but also because he was afraid that he would come back late and couldn't see the porcelain sent by his brother for the first time, Chu Xiaomei made a decision for him while being coquettish to his brother - just deal with it casually in the box, and wait until the evening, and then go to have a good meal to celebrate.
It's not a big deal, Chu Xiaobai naturally won't refuse.
Su Yue came forward to greet the waiter, asked him to go to the restaurant that specially provided buffets for the guests of this auction to get some food, dealt with it casually, and used a cup of hot tea to suffocate the taste in his mouth. By the time the three of them returned to the couch and sat down and began to chat to pass the time, almost forty minutes had passed.
The remaining twenty minutes are a blink of an eye.
"It's started~, brother, look." Ten minutes before the auction began, the TV in the room was connected to the live signal again. Seeing this picture, Chu Xiaomei immediately shouted excitedly.
Chu Xiaobai and Su Yue also turned their attention to the LCD TV.
"Huh?" Seeing the scene of the staff preparing in the picture, Chu Xiaobai's face suddenly showed a questioning expression: "Su Yue, what are they doing here?" ”
On the side of the table where the auctioneer stands, there is a long table where the lots are placed.
In the morning auction, only one lot will be placed on the long table at any one time, and only after the previous lot has been sold will the staff remove the lot and replace it with a new one.
But now the situation is a little different. The staff actually brought up three tempered glass boxes covered with gorgeous silk cloth at the same time and placed them on the table at the same time. It looks like the three lots are going to be unveiled at the same time to the bidders.
Although this was the first time to watch the auction live, and there was no reference standard in his mind, Chu Xiaobai still subconsciously felt that the current situation was a little special, and it didn't seem like a normal routine at all.
"Oh." Hearing Chu Xiaobai's inquiry, Su Yue first responded, and then answered as soon as possible: "Actually, this is all because the last three lots are comparable in any aspect, and we don't want to, and we can't arrange them, so we decided to take out the three lots at the same time and show them all for customers once." Then, the auction order is determined by on-site lottery. ”
“……。” After being speechless for a while, Chu Xiaobai could only give Su Yue a thumbs up: "You people in big cities really know how to play~." ”
"Actually, the more important reason is to stir up the atmosphere. When three pieces of fine products are taken out at the same time, the display effect is much better than taking them out one by one, and it is easier to stimulate the psychology of customers. Su Yue's smile exuded feminine gentleness, and at the same time, it had a hint of shrewdness that only a businessman can have.
Chu Xiaobai is the consignor of the lot, and any arrangement that may affect the transaction price of the lot should actually be discussed with him in advance. Although he didn't realize this himself, as an employee of the auction house, Su Yue would not forget this point.
"I'm just asking." Touching his nose a little embarrassed, Chu Xiaobai felt that Su Yue's tone seemed to be too serious.
As he spoke, the staff had already set up the scene, and an auctioneer wearing white gloves also walked up to the auction table with a small hammer.
Seeing that the auction was about to start, Chu Xiaobai's attention was focused again, and the conversation between them stopped.
"Distinguished guests, good afternoon. I'm ......" After a brief and graceful self-introduction, the auctioneer made a special opening remark about the afternoon auction. After the guests sitting in the audience were all in the mood, he got to the point: "Maybe you will find it a little strange and wonder why there are so many things on the table, right?" I'd like to explain to you here that, in fact, it's all because the last three treasures are so precious that we can't tell the difference between them in any way. So, with the thought that we could not let any of the treasures be discredited, we decided to let them show their most charming side in front of you at the same time, regardless of whether they were before or after, or from the high. ”
As he spoke, the auctioneer raised his right hand to the hostesses waiting behind the table.
Receiving the order, six hostesses stepped forward at the same time, working in pairs, with the same speed and rhythm, to uncover the gorgeous silk cloth covering the three tempered glass covers.
"Wow~~~!"
The brochure I got in advance already gave a detailed introduction to the last three heavy weapons, and attached extremely detailed and exquisite photos. However, compared with the photos in the album, the real posture of the three treasures displayed under the light is much more gorgeous and beautiful.
Seeing these three treasures with their own eyes, some of the guests sitting in front of them first let out heartfelt admiration. And when the real-time images of the three treasures appeared on the big screen of the live display, the guests who sat in the back and couldn't see the booth clearly began to admire involuntarily.
There was a buzz at the auction site, and the faces of the guests also showed expressions of excitement and excitement, especially those big financiers who felt that they had the strength to participate in the final bidding, and they all showed eager expressions to try.
Seeing that the scene was a little noisy, after the enthusiasm of the guests had evaporated for a while, the auctioneer knocked on the table a few times with the small hammer in his hand, and the crisp sound sounded, and the scene was controlled.
"You should have already learned about these three treasures in detail from the brochure, and it seems that there is no need for me to introduce them to you. However, as an auctioneer, it would be a deep regret if I could not introduce such treasures to the guests in person. So, please be quiet and let me introduce you to these three rare treasures. ”
In fact, the first is to make a supplementary introduction to the careless guests, and the second is to further heat up the atmosphere of the scene, and in the mouth of the auctioneer, the reason has become 'to not leave himself with regrets'. The steps that could have made people feel impatient, after the auctioneer's clever tongue, turned into an interlude that can enhance the atmosphere without a trace, and I have to admit that this auctioneer's experience is indeed sophisticated enough.
"The first piece. Well, by the way, before I get into the introduction, I want to start by saying one thing. The reason why I mention this one is not because it is more precious, nor because I personally think it is the best, but simply because it is the closest to me. I swear, I have absolutely no selfish intentions. The auctioneer's 'oath' caused another chuckle, and in this atmosphere, he finally began to introduce the first treasure: "The one closest to me, the full name is Yuan Qinghua Mulan's military picture jar." As the name suggests, the pattern on the can's body depicts the story of Mulan's joining the army for her father....... (There is no one in the ten existing large jars of Yuan blue and white character stories, but there is a Zhaojun out of the big jar.) I spent a lot of brains to think of such a reliable pattern, for the sake of me working so hard, please don't take it too seriously. )
"The second piece is a Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup. For the Chenghua kiln, for the chicken bowl cup, all collectors must be very familiar, even if they have not seen it, they have more or less heard of their name. What I want to say is that today's piece can definitely be regarded as a fine of the best, both in terms of condition and its ...... condition. ”
When introducing the first two treasures, each one took about three minutes, although the auctioneer said very energetically, although the collectors on the scene were fascinated by the listening, but the Chu family brothers and sisters sitting in the box were really about to be a little unbearable.
Finally, the last one was introduced, that is, the moon-white glazed Ru kiln tea set sent by Chu Xiaobai.
At this time, the brother and sister's mood changed sharply, from anxiety to anticipation.
"The last one, no, to be exact, should be a set, this is a set of moon white glazed Ru kiln tea sets from the Song Dynasty. Since ancient times, when it comes to famous kilns, there will always be all kinds of arguments, some people will say that there are six kilns of 'Chai Geguan Ru Junding', and some people will add Yaozhou kiln, Cizhou kiln, Jingdezhen kiln, Jian'an kiln, Jizhou kiln, which are collectively referred to as the top ten famous kilns, and there are more people who insist that there are only five famous kilns of 'Brother Guan Ru Junding'. But without exception, no matter which version of the leaderboard it is, Ruyao has never been absent. ”
"Ru porcelain shape is simple and generous, with precious agate as the glaze, the color is unique, with the light changes, 'the rain after the sky and clouds*** is the Song Huizong for the Ru kiln porcelain left poems. And because the soil used in Ru kiln porcelain is fine, the body is like Dong body, its glaze is thick and the sound is like chime, bright and not dazzling, and is praised by the world as 'like jade, non-jade, and better than jade', so since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, every piece of Ru porcelain porcelain is regarded as a treasure. The saying that "even if you have a lot of wealth, it is better to have a piece of porcelain" has been born since then. ”
"A piece of broken Ru porcelain has such a great charm, and today, what we are about to auction is a complete set of Ru kiln fine tea sets. Everyone, here, I won't talk about its shape, nor will I mention its glaze, I just want to say, this is a set, a whole set~! ”
