Chapter 198: Zhang Daqian's Twilight Work (Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Private photography has just begun!
But as soon as Ji Sheng made a move, he immediately enlivened the atmosphere of the scene!
200,000 yuan is not a particularly large number for everyone here, but Ji Sheng suddenly raised from 150,000 to 200,000, and the price increase was 50,000 yuan, which made everyone see his arrogance.
At the same time, the people who were not interested in Ji Sheng just now also have a year of friendship at this moment.
Rich people naturally like to make friends with rich people, and it's a resource.
Of course, they don't have to be friends with Ji Sheng, it's just that Ji Sheng showed good financial resources when he first came here, which made them feel that they could become a circle of people.
"Congratulations to Mr. Ji for winning the two pattern coins."
Cheng Jianjun said, and asked people to send the pattern coin to Ji Sheng on the spot.
Because this was a cash transaction, Ji Sheng also took out twenty bundles of hundred-yuan bills from his bag and put them on the plate.
People all around were also congratulating.
"Congratulations."
"Hehe, Mr. Ji took a picture of his favorite baby when he first arrived, so lucky."
"It's not just luck, it's mainly my own strength, and I'm also very greedy for these two patterns, but I always feel that spending 200,000 is a bit much."
"Well, in the final analysis, it is Mr. Ji who has personal strength."
"Congratulations, Mr. Ji."
Ji Sheng also smiled and bowed his hands to everyone, I have to say that the atmosphere of such a private auction is very good, not as dull as a regular auction.
The second auction item was quickly presented, and Cheng Jianjun pointed to the porcelain vase in the cart and said: "The second piece to be auctioned is the blue and white alum red color cloud dragon play bead pattern long-necked bottle in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, if you are interested, you can come up and have a look." ”
The porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty is very precious in the modern society, but now the porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty is also easy to buy in the glaze factory, and everyone's mood is not so high, only seven or eight people go to see it.
Ji Sheng asked Zhu Zhirong and Zhi Youcai to also take a look.
Zhu came back after reading the flocking and said, "It's genuine, it's okay." ”
Zhi Youcai also praised: "It seems that the production process is also considered a high-quality product, if the price is not expensive, boss, I think it is worth taking." ”
Ji Sheng knew it in his heart.
Cheng Jianjun smiled and said: "Qing Qianlong blue and white alum red color cloud dragon play bead pattern long-necked bottle, the starting price is 4,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 500 each time, and the bidding will start now." ”
Sister Zhu raised her hand.
Cheng Jianjun said: "It's still Sister Zhu, the starting price is 4,000." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lao Lu, who had seen him outside before, also raised his hand, "Five thousand." ”
Lao Zhang, who is still Xiao Zhang, raised his hand.
Cheng Jianjun stretched out his hand, "Five thousand five." ”
Then two more people raised their hands, both of which were default price increases.
The price came to seven thousand five in a moment.
"Does anyone still raise the price of seven thousand five?" Cheng Jianjun asked.
Ji Sheng saw that it was almost over, so he raised his hand, "Nine thousand." ”
Lao Lu seemed to like this porcelain vase, and raised his hand again to increase the price by default.
Ji Sheng also raised his hand once, this time he did not increase the price as he did just now, but increased the price by default, he was dispensable to this porcelain vase, after all, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy too many porcelain of the Qing Dynasty during the day, and it doesn't matter if there is this porcelain vase or not.
Lao Lu gritted his teeth, raised his hand again and shouted, "Ten thousand." ”
Ji Sheng's psychological price is 10,000, 10,000 is more than his reserve price, he has so much money, it is better to go to the glass factory to buy porcelain, so naturally he did not bid again.
"Congratulations to Lao Lu for winning this Qing Qianlong blue and white alum red color cloud dragon play bead pattern long-necked bottle." Cheng Jianjun was the same as just now, and asked people to send the porcelain vase to Lao Lu.
Lao Lu waved his hand and said, "The money will be given to you first, and the things will be put on your side, and you will bring them to me when you leave." ”
Cheng Jianjun said with a smile: "Also, if the porcelain thing is accidentally broken, the value will plummet, let me do it." ”
The first two collections were not sold, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.
The third auction was the Ming version of the ancient book "Old Tang Book", with a starting price of 500 yuan, and was finally won by a middle-aged man named "Jiang Yun" for 900 yuan.
Ji Sheng originally wanted to take a picture, but he saw that Jiang Yun's eager look didn't take people's favor.
The third auction is a stone inkstone made of the family of King Ma Ju Cao in the third year of Daqi, with a starting price of 1,000 yuan, because I wish the flocking is very good-looking, and finally Ji Sheng auctioned it at a price of 2,000 yuan.
Calligraphy and painting one after another, gems and the like have come out.
Ji Sheng made four or five moves during the period, and successfully won a light frozen seal, a carved Changhua bloodstone rooster carving, and a Tianhuang seal, he chose jade, jade is not like many antiques to follow, there is no need to be afraid of taking it back to the modern society and crashing.
Because his mind has been on the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, he hasn't made much of a move now.
But just about two hours after the private auction was underway, Cheng Jianjun took out a calligraphy and painting auction that Ji Sheng couldn't refuse.
I saw Cheng Jianjun in front of him let the two young men under him unfold a painting, stretched out his hand and introduced: "This "Alishan Floating Clouds" is the work of Mr. Zhang Daqian in his twilight years, he was already eighty-two years old when he created this painting, the painting is mainly freehand, and depicts the cloud-shrouded beauty of Alishan with natural and random brushwork. ”
Cheng Jianjun continued to introduce the information of this painting, "This painting is 66.5 centimeters long, 136 centimeters wide, about 8.1 square feet, everyone also knows that Mr. Zhang Daqian's paintings are very hot for auction, and if you are interested, you can come up and see it." ”
it!
Zhang Daqian's paintings?
Ji Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, and the whole person showed a look of disbelief, you must know that for a person like Zhang Daqian, the price of the painting was not speculated later, even if the auction price is as high as it was in the eighties!
As early as 1982, at an art auction in New York, Zhang Daqian's "Six Lotus Screens" was sold for $70,000.
Doesn't sound very high, right?
But that's the price of 1982!
In 1987, Zhang Daqian's "Peach Spring" was auctioned in the spring auction of Sosby in Xiangjiang, and the transaction price reached an astonishing 1.87 million Hong Kong dollars, which directly created the highest record for the auction of modern Chinese calligraphy and painting works at that time!
Although Ji Sheng knows that there may be a painting exactly the same as "Alishan Floating Clouds" in front of him in the society now, but this is Zhang Daqian's twilight work, he really can't resist such a temptation, even if there is the same style in modern society, he must take a picture today, this level of treasure, not to mention whether it is sold or not, it is a blessing that he can collect it!
"Zhang Daqian's masterpiece?"
"Oh my God! Mr. Cheng, where did you get that? ”
"Isn't this "Alishan Floating Clouds" on the other side of the bend? Mr. Cheng, how did you get it? ”
Everyone also exclaimed, obviously they couldn't believe that this masterpiece would appear here.
Cheng Jianjun laughed and said: "I went to a bend a while ago, and I happened to meet an acquaintance over there, he introduced him to buy it, of course, I personally don't guarantee the authenticity of this painting, and I want you to rely on your eyesight." ”
Although Cheng Jianjun couldn't be sure whether this painting was genuine, Ji Sheng was still excited, and he didn't hesitate to say to Zhu Zhirong: "Teacher Zhu, help take a look at this painting." ”
Zhu flocking was already excited, "I didn't expect to meet Master Zhang Daqian's masterpiece here, I will definitely take a good look at it." ”
As he spoke, he and a group of people gathered around the painting.
Ji Sheng also stepped forward to take a look, but he didn't know anything about calligraphy and painting, and he just simply observed, not to distinguish the authenticity.
The first thing he looked at was the seal on the picture, which read, "Zhang Zhan's father, Zhang Zhan's seal, Gengshen, Qianqianqian, Maya Jingshe".
The following paragraph on the work is: "Pengchi has been dry several times, and the mulberry field has been changed several times, who believes in heaven and earth, there are mountains and seas." Sixty-nine years old Gengshen Xia Meng, recalling the old trip to Alishan twenty years ago. Eighty-two great thousands. Sungai Maya Monastery".
Ji Sheng knew that Zhang Daqian moved to Wanwan in his seventies, and since this painting is Zhang Daqian's twilight work, it is likely to be a work of remembrance, and this inscription is also in line with Zhang Daqian's creative state of mind.
After reading this basic information, he continued to look at the other information of the painting.
The work is mainly splashed with ink, and the shadow of the outline and rubbing method is almost invisible. However, a few simple strokes of the house at the foot of the mountain sketch suddenly transform the abstract brush and ink into thousands of weather, which is really simple and thoughtful, and the natural interest of the brushwork, such a natural brushwork depicts the temperament of the painting and the title of the painting is very consistent.
At first glance, it is a boutique!
After reading it, Ji Sheng returned to his position.
Everyone is coming back one after another.
Zhu flocking came back with a frown, and whispered: "Mr. Ji, although I feel that this portrait is genuine, I heard that this painting is on the bent side, and I am really not sure whether what Mr. Cheng said just now is true or false, and I personally recommend that you be a little cautious." ”
Ji Sheng said quietly: "Okay, I'll be cautious." ”
said this in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, be cautious, since Lao Zhu looks like a real handiwork, Ji Sheng doesn't care if it is fake, even if it is indeed fake at a large price later, it will just waste some money, but if this painting is genuine, then Ji Sheng will make a lot of money!
Do you really have to shoot it!
Ji Sheng has made up his mind!
"Are you saying it's true or false?"
"It's hard to say, Mr. Cheng himself can't be sure."
"I look like it's real, but if it's fake, it's not a fraction of the money."
"Alas, it seems to be photographed, but I'm worried that it's a fake."
Everyone is also very entangled.
Cheng Jianjun listened to these voices in his ears, but he didn't take them to heart, but smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "The authenticity depends on your eyesight, if you think it's genuine, then bid, if you think it's a fake, you don't need to ask for it, I'll talk about the starting price now, the starting price is 880,000, you can start bidding." ”
The starting price is 880,000!
This made many people retreat, after all, they were not sure whether it was true or false, if it was genuine, let alone 880,000, even if it was 1.88 million, someone might bid, but now, because it was impossible to determine that it was genuine, everyone sat there and was silent after hearing the starting price of 880,000.
Ji Sheng didn't hesitate at all, and directly raised his hand to acquiesce to the asking price.
"Mr. Ji's starting price is 880,000, does anyone still increase the price?"
Cheng Jianjun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw someone bidding, he himself was really not sure whether it was true or not, otherwise such a peerless boutique would not have been put up for auction.
Xiao Zhang in the crowd hesitated several times, as if he wanted to bid, but in the end he still did not raise his hand to bid.
Cheng Jianjun continued: "880,000, has anyone increased the price? ”
There was still silence down there.
Cheng Jianjun said for the second time: "Eight hundred and eighty thousand, has no one raised the price?" ”
Still no one said anything.
Cheng Jianjun said helplessly: "Eight hundred and eighty thousand, the last time, it will be ...... Congratulations to Mr. Ji. ”
Everyone looked at Ji Sheng again, and said in their hearts, "If you are not sure whether it is true or not, you are willing to pay 880,000 yuan, it is really arrogant!
Ji Sheng smiled and discussed with Cheng Jianjun, probably meaning that there was not so much cash, and it would be converted to Lao Cheng according to the foreign exchange price afterwards.
Cheng Jianjun agreed.
The sky was already white, and it was clear that the sun would rise in a little while.
Cheng Jianjun looked at his watch, "Well, it's not too early, let's hurry up and take pictures of the last collection tonight, and then everyone will have breakfast and go back to rest for a while." ”
The last piece of the collection?
Ji Sheng immediately realized that it must be the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, his heart suddenly became excited, and after waiting all night, he finally waited for this peerless treasure!
