"What?"

"Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup?"

Zhu Flocking and Zhi Youcai were taken aback, and their eyes were round!

Don't talk about them, even Ji Sheng showed a stunned look at the moment, he heard Jiang Jianxin say that Cheng Gongzi might have Chenghua Doucai here, but he never thought it would be Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup!

Why were they so surprised?

Because the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup is so shocking!

In the history of the historical development of Chinese porcelain, Ming Chenghua Doucai is definitely the existence of a superstar.

Although the Qing Dynasty three generations of official kilns also have a lot of fine products comparable to Chenghua Doucai, and there is a larger vessel type, on the whole, most of the Qing Dynasty in the prosperous era of Doucai porcelain painting Seiko, changed the Chenghua Doucai "leaf no side", "four seasons of single clothes" weakness, the pattern is stronger.

But it also lost its colorful, delicate and elegant demeanor.

There is a saying in the porcelain industry that describes the status of doucai, enamel first, doucai second.

Some people even say that ten pieces of doucai are not as good as one piece of enamel.

Indeed, from all angles, doucai seems to be inferior to enamel, even if it is an auction, enamel is the most expensive porcelain auction variety other than blue and white porcelain.

But there is one exception to everything!

That is the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup!

Ji Sheng remembers that there are only seventeen known Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cups in the world in modern society, of which thirteen are still in museums, and only four are really circulating among collectors!

Among them, the auction record of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup verifies the value of the Chicken Bowl Cup.

In 99, Xiangjiang Sosby Auction Company auctioned the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, and sold a sky-high price of 29.17 million, more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in 99, which was the highest transaction record in the ancient Chinese porcelain auction market at that time.

In the past 14 years, the Meiyintang Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was sold at a terrifying price of 281 million yuan at the Xiangjiang Sosby Spring Auction, once again setting a new world auction record for Chinese porcelain!

If anyone thinks that the Ming Chenghua chicken bowl cup is only worth at auction later, it is very wrong.

As far as Ji Sheng knows, as early as 1980, Xiangjiang Sotheby also auctioned a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, and the bidder was Goro Sakamoto, a famous collector known as "Little Napoleon", who was auctioned at a sky-high price of 5.28 million Hong Kong dollars!

Sotheby's is Sotheby's, but Ji Sheng wants to distinguish between modern society and the 80s, just like he will never call his father Ji Aiguo in modern society.

Naturally, when Ji Sheng heard that Cheng Jianjun had a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup auction, he was stunned.

He brought a full 1 million cash in his bag, and he spent 100,000 yuan just now, about 800,000 yuan, and he couldn't help but worry at this moment: "Mr. Cheng, I may not have enough money, if I take a picture, can I pay the deposit first, and I am willing to pay in the form of foreign exchange when I go back." ”

"How much money did you bring here?" Cheng Jianjun asked.

Ji Sheng smiled bitterly; "I only brought a million in cash, and I spent more than 100,000 yuan."

Cheng Jianjun was taken aback, "You carry a million in your hand?" Not afraid of being killed for money? ”

Ji Sheng looked at him with a wink, "I don't show anything unusual, who knows that I have money in my bag?" ”

Cheng Jianjun thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji is really a master of art and bold. He pondered for a moment, "Okay, if you give foreign exchange, I can only charge 90% of the transaction price." ”

Zhu flocking and Zhi Youcai showed such a look, Don't look at Cheng Jianjun said that he was willing to give up ten percent of the price, It seems to be very favorable, in fact, if Ji Sheng gives foreign exchange, Cheng Jianjun will take those foreign exchange to the black market to exchange, and he can easily earn thirty percent.

……

It's half past one in the morning.

Cheng Jianjun took Ji Sheng and others to the compound of the fourth courtyard.

This is the main courtyard of the whole house, as soon as Ji Sheng came in, he saw twenty or thirty people sitting upright, some people may know, they were chatting in whispers with their heads down, and when they saw Cheng Jianjun and Ji Sheng and others coming in, they greeted each other.

"Mr. Cheng."

"Xiao Cheng, you're here."

"When does the auction start?"

"I'm impatient to wait."

Some people speak more politely, while others speak more casually.

Cheng Jianjun laughed, "Start now, start now, I'll introduce you to someone first." As he spoke, he pulled Ji Sheng in front of everyone, "This is Mr. Ji Shengji, he is very capable, after the auction is over, you have to be close to him, especially you, Xiao Zhang, don't offend my distinguished guest Mr. Ji." ”

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man in the crowd said, "Brother Cheng, can you rest assured of me, I'm not so reckless." ”

Ji Sheng looked stunned!

Why?

Because he knows this person called Xiao Zhang!

Or rather, in modern society.

That's right, this person is Lao Zhang, the organizer of the private auction that Ji Sheng was invited to participate in by Sister Ning before!

Although Lao Zhang looks very green and has no wrinkles on his face, he is basically the same as in modern society.

Ji Sheng remembers that in modern society, Boss Li used "vast supernatural powers" to describe Lao Zhang, and now when he sees Lao Zhang or Xiao Zhang and Cheng Gongzi here, he vaguely knows what Lao Zhang is about, and he is probably also the son of a big family in Beijing.

got to know each other a little, but everyone was not very familiar with Ji Sheng, and they all seemed to be lacking interest.

Ji Sheng didn't care either, and Zhu Flocking and Zhi Youcai found a place to sit down after the comparison.

Waited a little longer.

About a dozen more people came in from outside and sat down.

At this time, Cheng Jianjun personally stood in front of the front table, politely clasped his hands together, and said, "Thank you for giving me Cheng someone face and participating in tonight's auction, thank you." ”

"Let's get started."

"I can't wait."

"What the hell is good this time?"

There was a commotion from the people below.

Cheng Jianjun smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk much, because there are a few new friends involved, I will introduce the bidding rules." ”

Ji Sheng showed a strange look, and said in his heart, how can it be almost exactly the same as Lao Zhang's private auction? He probably knows why Lao Zhang's private auction is so organized, and the co-authors are all learned from Cheng Jianjun?

Sure enough, even the rules are almost the same, nothing more than that it is not allowed to find someone to bid maliciously, and there is a default price increase if you raise your hand without bidding, etc.

After the introduction, Cheng Jianjun said mysteriously: "Guess what, what is the object of this auction?" ”

Generally speaking, the first thing auctioned will certainly not be bad.

As soon as he said this, everyone became interested and talked about it below.

Cheng Jianjun didn't let everyone guess for too long, and said bluntly: "The first thing to be auctioned is two commemorative silver coins of Zhang Zuolin's military costume like the generalissimo of the army and navy, which are still in the sixteenth year of the Republic of China." ”

He lifted the red cloth on the wooden plate brought by a young man, and there were two silver coins inside.

There was an uproar.

"What?"

"Zhang Zuolin in the sixteenth year of the Republic of China is like two commemorative silver coins of the Generalissimo of the Army and Navy?"

"Ouch, Mr. Cheng really got something good this time, there are not many patterns of this level in the world!"

Ji Sheng also held his breath for a moment, he had sold the Republic of China silver coins before, and then inquired about the prices of various Republic of China silver coins, of course he knew the value of the commemorative silver coin of Zhang Zuolin's military uniform like the generalissimo of the army and navy in the sixteenth year of the Republic of China!

In modern society, Zhang Zuolin is dressed like the generalissimo of the army and navy, and the silver coins issued in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, the total number of silver coins in the world is only eight, and each one is worth one or two million!

He never expected to see two 16th year pattern coins of the Republic of China here!

"Be quiet." Cheng Jianjun stabilized the order of the scene, and then said: "If you are interested, you can come up and palm your eyes first, and if you like it, you will bid later." ”

The private auction of Chinese people and Lao Zhang is a routine process.

Forty or fifty people at the scene were almost all interested, and with a bang, all of them rushed to the front to observe.

Ji Sheng also took Zhu Flocking over and took a look.

Zhu flocking carefully observed for more than a minute, and then said to Ji Sheng with a solemn face: "These two pattern coins are deeply molded, the inner teeth are sharp, the front portrait and the back of the Jiahe Rising Sun picture relief sense is very strong, the details are depicted in detail, and the casting is exquisite, which can be called the pinnacle of modern Chinese portrait coins, which are precious and should be genuine." ”

Ji Sheng believed in Zhu Flocking's judgment, and his mood was even more excited, a treasure of this level is rare to see, there are actually two auctions here at the same time, he said that he would be desperate to auction anything!

Just after everyone returned to their seats.

Cheng Jianjun said: "The starting price of these two pattern coins is 100,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000 yuan each time. ”

it!

The starting price is 100,000?

Ji Sheng was also taken aback when he heard it, more than 100,000 yuan in the current era is worth it, but he thought about it, this level of pattern currency is an extremely scarce treasure in any period, and it is normal for the starting price to be expensive, and it is still two to bid together.

Someone immediately raised her hand, it was a chubby woman in her thirties sitting in the first row, she didn't say anything, and obviously acquiesced to the starting price.

Cheng Jianjun immediately said: "Sister Zhu started asking for 100,000 yuan. ”

As soon as the words fell, three or four more people raised their hands, and they also didn't bid.

"One hundred thousand and five thousand!"

"One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

In just a short time, the two silver coins were called 120,000!

Subsequently, there were people who got involved.

The price climbed to 150,000.

Ji Sheng had not been bidding before, he wanted to see what price the two silver coins would be called, and then pull them apart and take them in one fell swoop.

"Xiao Zhang bid 150,000 yuan, will anyone still increase the price?" Cheng Jianjun looked at everyone and asked, and no one said anything when he asked for the first time, so he continued: "150,000, has no one continued to increase the price?" ”

There was still no one raising their hand.

Cheng Jianjun felt a little regretful, so he had to say: "Fifteen ......"

Ji Sheng suddenly raised his hand, "Two hundred thousand!" ”

Wow!

Be there and whisper!

"Two hundred thousand?"

"Ouch, this Mr. Ji is so heroic!"

"Yes, these two patterns are scarce, but I think 150,000 is about the same, and he actually increased the price by 50,000 all at once?"

"Eh, what's the origin of this Mr. Ji? One shot of 200,000? ”

"I don't know, Lao Cheng didn't introduce it in detail just now."

Some people were a little surprised by Ji Sheng's generous increase of 50,000 yuan at once, and they were also interested in Ji Sheng for the first time.

200,000 is not a small number in the current era, for many people, this number may not be coveted for a lifetime, and Ji Sheng has only called the price once so far, as soon as he opens his mouth to 200,000, how can this group of people who are not familiar with him not be interested?

Although everyone still doesn't know who Ji Sheng's true identity is, it doesn't prevent them from knowing from Ji Sheng's bidding that this Mr. Ji is definitely a big boss and the top one in China!

Cheng Jianjun was overjoyed and immediately said: "200,000, is there still anyone who has increased the price?" ”

A middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties in the crowd hesitated for a moment, but finally did not raise his hand.

Cheng Jianjun shouted again: "200,000, has no one raised the price?" ”

No one has increased the price at such a high price, basically everyone has given up on raising the price, but they just looked at Ji Sheng frequently.

Cheng Jianjun asked for the third time, "Two hundred thousand, the last time." He paused for a moment before saying, "Cheng...... Deliver! ”

Taken!

200,000 won these two precious pattern coins!

Ji Sheng's mood was very excited, he knew that many people on the scene would think that 200,000 was too much, and indeed, if he was a person of the current era, he would think the same way, but unfortunately Ji Sheng was not, he was free to travel back and forth between time and space in the eighties and modern society, and these two pattern coins were absolutely sky-high in modern society!

Of course, this is just an appetizer.

Although these two pattern coins are precious, Ji Sheng's goal tonight is not these two silver coins, but the more precious Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, hurry up, he can't wait to take it!
