The backstage at the starting point was convulsive again, and just came in.

――――

Unlike other auction houses, Sato Auction House was established relatively late, in 1990, and the range of auction items includes quite a wide range of items. In this way, the auction house undoubtedly attracts guests for different purposes and avoids the occurrence of a single taste.

In each VIP room, there are beautifully printed brochures about auction items, and the seemingly thin brochures are designed, and some pictures that are easy to attract people's desire to buy are specially enlarged.

After the work of a Japanese master carver was auctioned, the next things to be auctioned seemed to be a bit boring, including watches, porcelain, ancient paintings, etc., most of which were modern artworks. However, unlike Japan, Japan has such a rich cultural collection, and the cultural differences between the two countries determine the size of the market. For example, you can't expect to be able to buy famous paintings in Japan at any time, at least some small auction houses don't have the funds and purchase channels.

After a little boring ten minutes, a weighty auction item was finally delivered, a Song Dynasty landscape painting, with a reserve price of 120,000 US dollars.

Compared with the appetizers in front, this painting has aroused the interest of many people, the painting is a landscape picture, in the ink-colored landscape, a boat of men swinging the boat and crossing, it looks very indifferent outside the house, and the style of painting looks very careful, Zhang Yang flipped through the introduction, only to find that the lower right side of the painting has several red seals, one of which is Jiaqing Yulan.

"This is a painting by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong?"

This is not to say how much Zhang Yang knows about antiques, but in the accompanying introduction to this painting. It was specially noted that this was a handwritten painting by Song Huizong...... The inscription of the imperial inscription.

It is said that there are two kinds of paintings of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, one is the imperial brush. The second is the imperial theme, and the former is painted by Huizong himself. The latter is Huizong asking someone else to write on his behalf, and he personally wrote the title and deposited the money. And this one, specially indicated as a royal inscription painting, is rumored to have been made by a court painter. Although it is not written by Huizong himself, this painting is very well preserved and there is no damage to it.

Of course, Zhang Yang also knows very well that the so-called authenticity is only a one-sided word of the auction house, and whether it is genuine or not, the buyer has to find a way to confirm it. This is a test of the school buyer's eyesight. If it is genuine, then everyone will naturally be happy, and if it is a fake, it can only be an eye-catcher and spend money to buy a lesson.

In the past, Zhang Yang heard a lot about newcomers entering the antique industry and being deceived, some of them were bureaus, and some of them simply didn't understand anything, and they took the initiative to send them to the door to slaughter others.

"What, you're interested?"

Zixia saw Zhang Yang staring at the painting. I thought Zhang Yang had the intention to shoot it. Although Unigroup is not a big company, the company's turnover is scary, and the profit is also high. At least after the agreement with Blizzard was signed, Blizzard has paid 60% of the agreement amount. The remaining 40% will be paid only after the inspection is satisfactory.

Although it is only 60%, it is enough to splurge here.

"No, I'm just curious. I just remembered something. ”

Zhang Yang waved his hand, indicating that he was not interested. What intrigued him was another auction item that came to the stage as the penultimate piece. A Han Dynasty bronze sword.

For Song Huizong, Zhang Yang also has some impressions, the king of the Song Dynasty, arrogant and lascivious, wantonly looting money, reusing Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan and other traitorous ministers, during his reign, Fang La, Song Jiang uprising broke out. And after being broken by the Jin State, the king of the dead country also failed to end up well, and the queen was tortured all the way, the queen was humiliated and committed suicide, and Huizong was rumored to be burned by the Jin State after his death to make lamp oil and light the sky lantern.

The same is such a faint gentleman, but in the technique has made certain achievements, the creation of the famous "thin gold body", and today's landscape painting is not Huizong himself, but if it is the true work of the court painter, it can be regarded as a real cultural relic, as a collection of their own slowly appreciate or can.

Zhang Yang was watching the excitement here, but everyone on the field set off a small craze, and some people had already raised their cards to 230,000.

Sato Auction House uses US dollars as a unit, so if you accidentally enter the yen number...... The buyer will definitely have to refund with a sad face, and need to deduct a certain handling fee and violation fees.

In the end, the price of the painting stopped at the price of 340,000 yuan, the auctioneer repeatedly showed off, and no one raised the card again, everyone knew that the good things were behind, so the painting was acquired by a Japanese businessman. For most of the auction, Zhang Yang was talking to Zixia about problems, occasionally glancing at the situation in the field, and most of the items after that, there was a Tang Sancai horse pottery figurine that fetched a high price of 500,000 US dollars, announcing the end of most of the previous auctions.

Although there were three items that were unauctioned, most of the items that were auctioned off were enough for the auction house to earn some back, so the auctioneer, after wiping the sweat from his forehead slightly, began the auction of the penultimate item, a Han Dynasty bronze sword. It is also the only item that Zhang Yang is interested in today.

"The following is an ancient sword of the Han Dynasty in China, the sword is 76 centimeters long, the sword is 15 centimeters wide, and the pulp is thick......"

The auctioneer is Japanese and is fluent in Chinese, English and French, so he introduced it in Japanese and English and repeated it in Chinese.

"The starting price of this sword is 100,000 US dollars, and the price increase is not less than 3,000 US dollars each time."

As the third-to-last sale, this Han Dynasty bronze sword can also be regarded as a finale, but the starting price is lower than the previous Huizong imperial inscription. The reason is also very simple, connoisseurs will naturally not miss the truly valuable things, but it is also because of caution, but they will not open their mouths lightly.

Like this ancient sword, although the reserve price is only 100,000 US dollars, Zhang Yang and Zixia can guess that the final transaction price will definitely not be lower than the previous Huizong landscape painting.

Auctions of this kind of thing rely on everyone bidding for each other and raising the price, and in the auction house, there are generally a few "nurseries", if no one shouts the price, they will take the initiative to raise the price. Of course, this is also a limit, if you shout too high all of a sudden, and maliciously raise the price, all the old fritters present are very bright, and no one is willing to be slaughtered in vain, but often keeps silent, so that the items are unsold because no one bids, or simply return them to the auction house and let them suffer for themselves.

And the most fundamental reason why Zhang Yang cares so much about this ancient sword, and affirms that the other party has a certain value, is because the system sent him a message, as Zhang Yang expected, this so-called ancient sword of the Han Dynasty is actually an ancient sword from the movie world.
