Chapter 386, Agarwood Dragon Bed (Ask for Subscription)
Wow!
When the people heard the words of many years, they exclaimed.
Gu Wei said directly:
"Impossible!"
"This amber pillow can't be an object from the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Qin Dynasty at all, the surname is Han, you are talking nonsense."
"It's obviously an object from the Yuan Dynasty, how can it be an object from more than 2,000 years ago?"
Many years with a caring expression on his hand, he said, "Yes, yes, what you said is right!" ”
Immediately, he continued to look at Old Man Guan, but did not speak again.
He really hopes that the other party can cut his love, but he has to wait for the other party to speak.
In the future, museums are in great need of fine national treasures such as amber pillows.
Moreover, as the first antique he encountered in the eighty-one dragon-shaped white mist that he had encountered in his collection of antiques for so many years, it was very memorable.
Therefore, collect it and use it as a treasure in the future.
Antiques such as amber pillows not only have medicinal value, but also have collectible value, and their existence is priceless.
Therefore, it is understandable to become the treasure of the town hall.
In comparison, antiques like amber pillows are better than many jade pendants, dragon beds, etc.
Without waiting for Old Man Guan to speak, the conspicuous Bao Gu Wei stood up again.
"You have said the wrong origin of this amber pillow, and you still want this amber pillow? Do you think Mr. Guan will take care of you? ”
But at this time, Old Man Guan spoke.
"Comrade Han, you really deserve to be a strange person, but this is one of the most valuable objects in my many collections, if you want to buy it, I'm afraid you can't."
The implication is already obvious: it depends on the price!
Gu Wei was like a clown jumping off the beam, looking at Old Man Guan with disbelief on his face.
However, no one paid attention to him, and Old Man Guan didn't even look at him.
What amber pillow from the Yuan Dynasty, nonsense!
"Old man, what are the conditions, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
After many years, I smiled slightly, and if I had to talk about it, it would be no problem.
"Those who know me well know that I've never liked to bargain."
"In addition, although I don't have a huge net worth like the old man, if it is suitable, I am still willing to take this amber pillow."
His meaning is also very clear, you can make a price, but don't make a sky-high price.
Old Man Guan looked deeply at many years, and then said that he would talk about it later.
It's useless to strike while the iron is hot now, after all, everyone's understanding of amber pillows is still very one-sided.
Others will not take the initiative to increase the price, and they will be slaughtered by the old man Guan.
Besides, as has been said many years ago, he doesn't like to bargain!
It means that if someone competes with him, he will never do it.
The result is nothing more than a high price for many years, and others are frightened, or they don't offer for many years and give up the amber pillow.
No matter which result it is, it's not what Old Man Guan wants to see.
Therefore, it is time to introduce this amber pillow well, and tell all the information about its actual year and the identity of the previous owner, so that it is possible to raise its value and sell it at a good price.
It is true that the amber pillow is a national treasure, but if you want to take it out of the capital, the difficulty factor is too great.
"I'll hide it from you, this amber pillow is indeed my favorite collector's item."
As soon as Old Man Guan opened his mouth, he was carrying a shelf for the amber pillow.
"However, what Comrade Han said just now is right, this amber pillow is from the Eastern Han Dynasty, but its fate is relatively tortuous and bumpy."
Everyone gave face and listened attentively as he gilded the amber pillow.
Anyway, no matter what, everyone won't pay a high price later.
No one will be a fool to carry a shelf for others, but he himself offends others.
There have been many years of this ruthless person on the scene, and those who are familiar with him will not speak.
Gu Wei is very likely to have been working against him for many years, but he has already made a fool of himself just now, and when he waits for the bidding, he doesn't know if he will continue to fall into the pit.
After all, if the price is high, but he can't come up with the money to make a deal, Old Man Guan will definitely be angry.
If Old Man Guan gets angry, the consequences will be very serious.
After a short time, Mr. Guan finally finished introducing this amber pillow object, and then said that anyone who likes this object can bid.
The highest price wins!
Many years of rumors, tactical back-back, professional smile.
This old man Guan is really a qualified profiteer, what do you say amber pillow is his favorite treasure, bullshit!
From the moment he gathered so many of his peers here, his impure purpose had already spoken for itself.
It's a pity that he said that the highest price will get, but no one spoke.
Everyone looked at him for many years, after all, no one present knew his net worth for many years, but they all knew that he was very rich.
As we all know, the collections of Gao Bukun, Tan Fuying, Shen Youmin, Yin Zhilan and others have almost all been swept away for many years.
It can be said that in the past six or five years, for many years, one person has almost supported more than half of the antique trade in the entire antique market in Beijing.
Not to mention, many people think that they can't compare to Gao Bukun and others, so they don't dare to speak.
Even people who are arrogant in their hearts and think they have some assets don't dare to speak at this time.
As the so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Han Li, a new antique player who has been on the scene for more than a year, is indeed too crazy.
The scene was silent, no one squeaked.
Old Man Guan was suddenly angry, but he observed quietly on the surface, and he was very calm.
"Why did everyone finish reading it?"
For many years, when I saw everyone staring at me, I couldn't help but say funny:
"The old man has already spoken, if you have the idea of collecting amber pillows, you should hurry up and make a move, and the one with the highest price will get it"
Although it was only a repetition, and the tone was not unusual.
However, the crowd modestly stated:
"Comrade Han is here, we don't dare to make an offer."
"Yes, who dares to get an axe in front of Comrade Han more than money?"
"Yes, yes, Comrade Han still hurry up and bid so that we can see the world"
Even Gu Wei was a little dumbfounded at this time.
He has overestimated his fame for many years, but he didn't expect that the fame of people in the hearts of many connoisseurs for many years is so high.
Before they could make a sound, they had already shocked everyone.
You know, among the antique players present, which one is not the master with a lot of money?
No one dared to speak, so Gu Wei, who had some ideas in his heart, didn't dare to squeak at the moment.
Many years smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, glanced at Gu Wei with a smile, and then looked at Old Man Guan and said:
"Old man, everyone gives me face, do you think I should quote now, or wait for them to quote first, and then I will quote?"
The latter took a deep breath, squeezed out a passable smile, and said generously:
"It doesn't matter, you can quote whenever you like."
Although he would love to shut up for many years, or for many years, to pour his brain water, to say some arrogant things, and then fiercely fight for the amber pillow.
But he has to admit that many years are really awesome.
relied on money, and forced his peers to convince him, and he didn't dare to bid on the same stage with him.
"In that case, then I'm going to make a bid?"
For many years, this typical is to get cheap and sell well, everyone slanders, and at the same time there is curiosity about his offer.
I saw him stretch out a slap, and after holding up a finger, he directly said a price that made everyone take a deep breath.
A large yellow croaker and $10,000.
That's definitely a very, very high price.
You must know that today's antiques are not valuable, and many high-quality antiques are only about a price of hundreds of yuan.
Moreover, many people do not pay hundreds of dollars to buy antiques.
After all, one thing must be clear, there are indeed many high-paid people in the capital, but those groups with high salaries are in the range of one or two hundred to two or three hundred monthly salaries.
Take half a month's or a month's salary to buy antiques, and not many people really do that.
Besides, those collectors are not fools, and when people buy and sell, they definitely don't accept RMB.
When it comes to the level of fine collections, unless it is like the three years of 59 years, everyone is hungry and panicked, and they will take out family heirloom antiques in exchange for food like Guan Hongkun, Tong Haiquan, Jin Mingjia and Luo Qixing.
Otherwise, everyone will hold it in their hands and will not make a move easily.
Just like the current old man Guan, it is also because he senses that the cold wind in Siberia is about to come, the weather is cold, he sells some antiques, and he has money in his hand, if something really happens, he can get out faster.
Therefore, when trading, there will be a clear note and require gold or foreign currency settlement.
As we all know, at this point in January 1966, whether it is gold or foreign currency, there is a very short supply in Beijing.
On the black market, there are foreign currencies such as US dollars, pounds, and rubles in circulation, but the number in circulation is not large.
Otherwise, Mr. Guan will directly take the RMB to the black market to sweep the goods.
Embarking on the road of selling antiques for money has not been many years to provide more options.
It should be clear that the price of foreign currency or gold on the black market is very high.
If you don't want to be slaughtered, you can only find an alternative like this for many years.
Mr. Guan is more greedy and doesn't want to sell the antiques in his hands cheaply, so he makes such a big fanfare.
Hearing the words of many years, Old Man Guan suddenly gasped.
He knew that he had been rich for many years, but he didn't expect to be so rich.
An amber pillow is just a pillow from 2,000 years ago.
Although it can be used as medicine, who will really break the lake pillow into medicine?
Isn't that stupid?
As a result, it has almost no medicinal value, just antique value.
The other onlookers who ate melons watched in shock for many years.
Gu Wei didn't dare to put a fart.
Where does he dare to shout?
The price he shouted for many years just now was more than ten times his worth.
If he dares to shout the price, Old Man Guan is definitely a sand man!
After all, it has been emphasized for many years, he will not bargain, in case Gu Wei shouted the price, he did not follow up for many years and withdrew directly.
And Gu Wei has no money at all, so this auction is almost aborted.
Therefore, it is really possible for Old Man Guan to sand Gu Wei to vent his anger.
"Deal!"
Old Man Guan didn't hesitate, and directly agreed.
With such a high price, if he didn't agree, he would be a fool.
After hearing the words for many years, he smiled confidently, said a few more modest words, and then went directly to the next room, took the money from his backpack, and completed the transaction.
He excused himself for a trip, and after less than a minute, he returned.
The reason why it is so fast must be that there are many people in the vicinity of the courtyard.
This is an illusion he gave to Old Man Guan and others.
An illusion that he has someone nearby, an illusion that makes everyone throw a mouse.
If someone really does something to him, he won't want to waste his time on it for many years.
Just like the Jin Yu he met before, he was directly angry for many years and half died, and he also needed to confirm it a few more times before leaving with someone in the future.
Seeing that he had come back after many years, Old Man Guan smiled again:
"Comrade Han, I just heard that you went to see a dragon bed with someone, did you have any gains?"
"Bad luck, old man, let's talk about your treasures."
For many years I shook my head and did not continue the topic.
Seeing this, Old Man Guan didn't care, but smiled and asked everyone to move to other places.
Mr. Guan sells Guanzi, and everyone is very curious.
As a result, everyone came in through the hanging flower door and went straight to the room of the master bedroom of the north house.
After pushing the door in, everyone looked at a bed and smelled the fragrance at the same time.
"This is the dragon bed?"
Gu Wei asked silently, looking at the bed in front of him dumbfounded.
But no one responded to him, because everyone looked at the bed in front of them in equally amazement.
And many years of faces, there is also an expression of surprise.
Not long ago, he left with the golden man, wanting to see the dragon bed.
As a result, I saw the real dragon bed here at Mr. Guan.
And the dragon bed in front of me is still made of agarwood, which looks extraordinary.
The rich fragrance that comes to the nose is refreshing, and it is really unpleasant to see.
However, the fragrance soon faded.
After all, there are a lot of people, and they are quickly sucked away.
If you just open the door in the morning, it is estimated that the fragrance is even stronger.
It's past five o'clock in the morning, so the fragrance is quite strong.
But, should I say it or not, Old Man Guan is still quite bold.
Actually put the dragon bed here in the master bedroom, and are you not afraid of being suddenly inspected by others?
Of course, this is the freedom of the old man, I guess there is some hard backstage, or a hidden way.
Or maybe this dragon bed has only recently moved here.
"That's right, it's the dragon's bed"
Old Man Guan explained with a smile:
"Let's guess how many catties of agarwood used in this dragon bed are used?"
He also sold the guanzi, but everyone was quite happy to cooperate.
The agarwood dragon bed, the eight pillars above the bed, as well as the top of the bed, are about two meters or three meters high.
The carvings on it are all dragons, with five or four claws, lifelike, just like a real dragon.
Not to mention, these carvings alone are priceless.
Not to mention that this is a dragon bed carved from agarwood, which is absolutely priceless.
For many years, I watched it quietly, and secretly guessed in my heart, how many dragon-shaped white fogs can this thing have?
Since the dragon-shaped jade pendant and the amber pillow, he has become more curious about antiques.
It seems that not only the fame of the former owner of the antique itself, but also the value of the antique itself, as well as the length of contact between the antique and its owner, have a lot to do with it.
Similar to pillows, objects like dragon beds have absolutely the same amount of time as their owners.
However, looking at the dragon bed in front of you, such a fine and gorgeous carving is estimated to be a product of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
After all, the Ming and Qing dynasties were the peak period of the development of feudal society, the commodity economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, the culture and art were colorful, and the traditional wood carving art also reached its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Therefore, it is unlikely that the dragon bed was a product of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
This means that it is only a few hundred years old, and in this regard, it has huge shortcomings.
However, if this dragon bed was a bed that several emperors of a dynasty often slept in, then there is a high probability that something unexpected will happen, and it is not necessarily.
"Two thousand pounds!"
"Three hundred pounds!"
"A ton and a half!"
Everyone speculated about the weight of this dragon bed, and they still didn't open their mouths for many years, but listened carefully to Old Man Guan's introduction.
The weight of the three-ton agarwood, the weight of this dragon bed, is absolutely extraordinary.
And it is also the dragon bed of the Kangxi period, but this thing, since the tribute, Kangxi has not slept a few times.
On the contrary, it was the emperor who came after him, and often slept on it.
Of course, how could an emperor only have one dragon bed?
Especially the Qianlong Emperor, he has always been very interested in extravagant and luxurious things, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, clocks and watches, etc., are his favorite things.
Therefore, he is extremely particular about the decoration and furnishings of the palace.
Emperor Qianlong liked to sleep on a slightly harder bed, of course, this bed could not just be "hard", so his dragon bed was a small leaf red sandalwood bed, and on it, it was also specially covered with corduroy as a mattress.
Why do you need to spread corduroy?
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is a kind of herb, which itself has the effect of lowering the fire of the heart and ventilating qi and blood.
In addition to this, this grass is soft and elastic and is a natural mattress.
When people sleep on it, it is soft and comfortable, and it can also get the effect of strengthening the body, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Old man Guan talked eloquently, and those who didn't know thought he was the old eunuch back then, otherwise how could he know so much wild history?
"Old man, since the emperor prefers beds made of rosewood, what about this agarwood?"
Someone asked, and Old Man Guan smiled confidently and explained.
Agarwood is also a traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effects of relieving pain, reducing inversion and regulating the middle, warming the kidneys and absorbing qi.
And at that time, the agarwood weighed six tons, which was used to create the agarwood dragon bed in front of you.
The dragon bed used three tons, and the remaining leftovers became small items such as desks, cabinets, and small cabinets.
Therefore, occasionally, the emperor will sleep on this agarwood dragon bed.
On the dragon bed in front of me, there is also a porcelain pillow, which looks a little special.
I couldn't appreciate this porcelain pillow for many years, but this thing was Emperor Qianlong's favorite.
"This pillow is the Jun kiln azure glazed purple spot Ruyi pillow used by Emperor Qianlong, but unfortunately he has another enamel color pillow, I didn't collect it" (end of this chapter)
