Chapter 50: Treasure Auction
The beautiful host said: "Hehe. Okay, let's ask a few experts to identify and give your opinions. ”
When Ms. Wang heard this, she walked to the front of the expert group with the Buddha statue in her hand.
Expert Qian, who was sitting on the far left, took the initiative to get up, first folded his hands, bowed to the Buddha statue, and then took it and put it on the table in front of him.
Several experts took magnifying glasses around the statue and examined it carefully.
In this interval, in order to avoid being cold, the beautiful host began to interact with the audience and introduce antique knowledge.
After more than 10 minutes, several experts discussed privately for a long time, and finally came to a unified opinion.
Qian experts, acting as representatives, began to announce the results of their identification.
"This Buddha statue is holding barley in his right hand and a medicine bowl in his left hand, which is the statue of Medicine Buddha. ”
"The open face characteristics of the Buddha statue, the fullness of the lotus petals, and the ornamental characteristics of the lotus seat are all in line with the technological characteristics of the statues of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"The Buddha statue has a unique slurry produced by the incense air for a long time, and the degree of corrosion and oxidation on the base is ......"
Expert Qian stood on the stage and talked exaggeratedly, and the insiders below listened with relish and nodded frequently.
But Li Tianyun, who had just entered this industry, was confused, and all kinds of professional terms fell into his ears, like a book from heaven.
That's when he finally realized that he had too little knowledge about collecting.
Li Tianyun made up his mind to go back and make up for the relevant knowledge.
In the end, the voice of the Qian expert suddenly mentioned, and he said loudly: "It can be determined that this Buddha statue is a genuine product from the early Ming Dynasty!"
"After careful discussion, the expert group combined the price of the international auction and the domestic market situation, and gave the starting price of 3 million!"
As soon as the experts appraised and gave their final opinions, the audience immediately became excited.
Taking advantage of the warm atmosphere, the host hurriedly asked the owner of the Buddha statue, "Ms. Wang, it has now been determined that this treasure of yours is genuine." Would you like to auction it live?"
"Okay. Ms. Wang nodded without hesitation, today's meeting is only once a year, so I just took this opportunity to buy a good price.
As the host announced the start of the auction, there was an endless stream of bidders, and the price of the Kung Fu Buddha statue climbed to five million after a while.
The money in Li Tianyun's hand has been almost spent, and he has bought a lot of things, so he doesn't plan to rob it with others now.
At this time, with the mentality of watching the excitement, it seems leisurely.
As the auction of treasures continues, a piece of collectibles continues to come to the stage, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade, everything, real and fake.
Li Tianyun also gained a lot of insight with the introduction of experts and hosts.
"Big brother, you said that these things can't be eaten, and they can't be used, why are these people so willing to spend money?" Zhao Hu asked as he bit the apple.
It was incomprehensible to him watching the people around him constantly spend a lot of money and buy things that looked tattered.
Li Tianyun, who was trying to steal the teacher, smiled when he heard this, pointed to the apple in Zhao Hu's hand, and said with a strange expression: "If this apple is the apple that Lafayette Cixi and President Teprang of the United States have eaten together, can you still afford to eat it?"
"Huh?" Zhao Hu was dazed, "How can the apples you said be sold, just tease me!"
"That's right. Rare things are expensive, and these collectibles are the same as the apples I said, because most people have never seen them, so they are precious. Li Tianyun patiently explained to him.
Zhao Hu nodded again and again, as if he understood something.
Li Tianyun just wanted to listen to the expert's explanation of antiques, but Zhao Hu suddenly shook his head, "But even so, he is still an apple!"
"Poof!" Huo Xuanxuan, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, couldn't hold back anymore and laughed directly.
I'm playing the piano to a cow!
Li Tianyun covered his forehead helplessly, "Mmmm! You better gnaw on your apples honestly!"
After speaking, he let Zhao Hu ponder by himself, and was too lazy to deal with him again.
Jianbao continued, and at this time it was a delicate girl in white slacks who walked up to the stage.
As with the previous procedure, the girl briefly introduced herself as Ewan, and then took her collection to the expert group.
Ewan's collection is a bloodstone seal.
It is said to be a family heirloom, and there is hardly any superfluous decoration on the seal, which looks very quaint.
The appraisal process lasted more than half an hour, during which there seemed to be serious differences of opinion within the expert group.
He Zu, a professor from Jinghua University, and Qian Situ, the deputy director of the Huaxia Museum, were almost on the verge of arguing.
As time passed, everyone discovered the anomaly and couldn't help but wonder what the origin of this seal was.
And the girl standing on the stage, Yiwan, was the closest to the expert group, and she was a little helpless listening to the experts' arguments.
After a while, the expert named Qian Situ put the teacup in his hand on the table fiercely, and left the table angrily!
Everyone was stunned, even the host, who had always tried to control the situation, was stunned.
There was an eerie silence at the entire treasure appraisal site.
Seeing this, Professor He didn't know what to say to the rest of the experts, so they nodded again and again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Qian is unwell, take a break for a while, don't care. After that, He picked up the microphone, cleared his throat and began to speak.
"I think everyone has also discovered that this seal that this girl brought is really a good discussion for us! ”
"This seal is square and circumferential, bending and circling, but there is no superfluous foreign object to embellish. ”
It is a unique seal feature of the Tang and Song dynasties. ”
"At the beginning, we were also excited to think that we had met the real Tang Dynasty Zhenzhang, but unfortunately ......"
Everyone was whetted by the He clan, and when they saw him halfway through his words, they stopped, and immediately said impatiently: "Teacher He, what is a pity?"
"But although the seal is very realistic, there are some flaws, which let us see the flaws. ”
"This seal is an antique seal made by making old ones, so it has a research value and is not valuable. ”
He said his appraisal opinion, but did not say where the flaws were.
The curiosity of the crowd was not satisfied, and they asked one after another.
But He put down the microphone directly and did not explain in detail.
The audience was in a commotion, and the host saw that there were some signs that the scene was about to get out of control, so he hurriedly announced that he would take a break and continue the treasure auction at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Hearing this, although everyone was unwilling, they were helpless
Li Tianyun looked at the He clan who was sitting on the stage with An Ran high and had not yet left, and felt a little strange in his heart.
There were so many collectibles before, and when Qian Situ announced the appraisal results, he would explain the reasons.
When it was the turn of this seal, the He clan didn't say anything.
