Chapter 245: I'm here to consume
Member? Zhang Yang is certainly interested.
The premise is that the VP is willing to give away a member account for nothing.
Do you have to pay a due? Do you want to save experience to level up?
That bothered.
Although Christie's members do not have other fees such as "advance auctions", Zhang Yang still feels that it is not cost-effective.
Now that it is known that the bronze dagger was sent for auction by a senior member of the auction house, things have become simpler.
Zhang Yang only needs to give the information to Lao Chu and tell him:
The auction is about to start in a few days, do you care about it?
The rest depends on whether Lao Chu's sense of responsibility is strong.
"Can I take these documents back with me?" Zhang Yang asked Miss Shen.
"Of course, these materials are meant to be external."
"I asked you just now, the two auctions ......," Shen Yangling reminded.
"Except for the auction of modern and contemporary paintings on the first day, I have to participate in everything else." Zhang Yang replied with a bright smile: "Recently, I have made some money by moving bricks, so I will spend it." β
"Okay, I'll get you an invitation."
Shen Yangling smiled and took out three gilded invitations from her bag.
Zhang Yang took it and took a look, the seats in the three games were all VIP, not bad.
After returning to the hotel, he hurriedly took a photo of the information and sent it to Lao Chu.
Five minutes later, the impatient former director of the Cultural Relics Bureau called him.
"Zhang Yang, is this the bronze dagger that appeared in your live broadcast slice?"
On the other end of the phone, what Chu Zhenmin said showed that he had already watched Zhang Yang's live broadcast video.
He's in a bit of a hurry now.
"yes, don't you understand this?"
Zhang Yang flipped through the information on the desktop unhurriedly, and said slowly:
"Anyway, there are still three days left, and this bronze dagger is about to start shooting."
"Now it's up to you to see if you can give it here."
"Three days? So rushed? β
"Are you in Xiangjiang now, are you going to participate in the auction?" Chu Zhenmin asked.
"yes." Zhang Yang told the other party: "Come over quickly, prepare more funds, there are too many good things here." β
"Although some of the bronzes here have not been unearthed in recent years, they must be cultural relics that have been lost in China before."
There is almost no theory of bronzes, only early or late.
In some lots, in the information column, even when and where the thing was unearthed in China are clearly marked.
If this is put in China, the auction house will be directly taken away.
Chu Zhenmin heard Zhang Yang say that there were a lot of cultural relics, and his reaction was a little subtle.
The nervousness in the words disappeared, and instead he spoke earnestly and persuasively:
"Those cultural relics that have been out for a long time, if you just want to buy them back and put them in the museum, there is really no need for this."
"I called you today because you judged that the bronze dagger is a cultural relic that has been illegally exported from the country in recent years, and it can be recovered through regular channels, rather than spending money to buy it."
"What's wrong with buying?" Zhang Yang was a little incomprehensible: "Didn't there be a policy to encourage the return of cultural relics before?" β
In the previous live broadcast, every time a genuine bronze sword appeared, the barrage would be excited.
Now in this auction alone, there are three, and there is a dragon pattern Ge.
To say that there is no cultural heritage value is to deceive yourself.
"The policy of the return of cultural relics is not set by me." Chu Zhenmin said with a wry smile: "The bureau only has a special fund of 50 million a year to buy back cultural relics, but there are more than 10 million cultural relics lost overseas, how can they be bought?" β
"I don't recommend you buy it because it's ......"
"These ancient cultural relics, people snatch them away, and then sell them to you at a high price, which is equivalent to robbing them twice."
"Even if you have money now, it's not cost-effective."
After Chu Zhenmin finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh,
Sounds a bit vicissitudes.
"I see." Zhang Yang replied seriously: "I must do what I can, and if I want to buy it, I will buy a unique product." β
"Good. This bronze dagger, you don't care, I'll contact someone from the Cultural Relics Bureau to deal with it. β
"It's a holiday, have fun in Xiangjiang." Chu Zhenmin said with a smile.
"Yes! Captain! β
"Hahaha, you kid ......"
β¦β¦
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang saw the information in his hand, and suddenly remembered that he was sensationalized by Lao Chuyi, and he forgot to say something.
It's the identity of this Opai Harris, it's very suspicious.
Maybe it's a "small vest for tomb robbers to sell stolen goods".
Hundreds of thousands of membership dues a year, changing to a safe, stable, and high-priced channel for selling stolen goods, no matter how you look at it, it is very profitable.
However, he thought about it, Lao Chu was a professional, and he would definitely not miss such important information.
In fact, it was not only Opai Harris, Zhang Yang found that in this auction, several members of Christie's sent to the auction had a bit of a problem.
Maybe it's because the location is in Xiangjiang, just across the river from Shencheng, so it's more convenient to smuggle things out?
There is a one named Bobby, and the ones who are sent for auction are all ancient jade from China.
His lot is described as follows:
[Late Hongshan culture, about 3500-3000 B.C., green jade bird-shaped pei]
[Late Liangzhu culture, about 3000-2500 B.C., jade gods, humans, and beasts]
[Dawenkou culture, c. 3500-2500 B.C., Qingyu Xuanji]
γYangshao Culture ......γ
After 1000 B.C., no one plays.
Such an item profile, placed in China, is a pure national treasure gang.
But when it appears in Christie's auction materials, you have to consider whether the archaeological team is out of the way.
After all, the ruins of these ancient cultures were excavated in the second half of the last century.
If you want to flow out, it can only be the archaeological team.
As for the last day's [Buddhist Art Boutique] session, it was a group of Buddhas dancing.
The cut stone Buddha head, the gilded Buddha hand, the headless Guanyin statue, etc., Zhang Yang is completely incomprehensible.
Please go back and worship these things, and you won't be afraid when you wake up at night?
β¦β¦
On the third day of arriving in Xiangjiang, the auction officially began.
"VIP third row, seat eight."
When Zhang Yang entered the venue with the invitation, he was still a little excited.
But as soon as he found his seat, his excitement immediately turned to astonishment.
"Huh? The penultimate row? β
It turns out that the so-called VIP seats are the worst seats in the venue.
The seat at the front is a premium VIP.
The first three rows should be the senior members in Shen Yangling's mouth.
And what about "capital"?
The capital is all in the phone on the right side of the entrusted seat.
"No wonder that Miss Shen promoted me to be a member."
Anyway, it didn't cost a penny, and Zhang Yang quickly accepted this reality calmly.
The mentality of the white vote party must be good.
Soon, as Shen Yangling, who was dressed in a cheongsam, slowly stepped onto the stage, it meant that the auction was about to start.
The first lot - Tang Yin's "Moonscape of Streams and Mountains" handscroll on colored silk.
The painting is divided into two volumes, each half a meter wide and five meters long.
There is a paragraph on it, "Zhengde Ding Mao Autumn September Zhonghuan, written in the Green Yin Pavilion, Wu Trend (District) Tang Yin".
In addition to Tang Bohu's own seal, there are also appreciation seals of previous collectors.
For example, Wang Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shixiang in the late Qing Dynasty, Wu Changshuo in modern times and others.
All of this proves that the painting is genuine.
"Tang Yin, "Moonscape of Streams and Mountains", the starting price is 200,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 5,000 yuan at a time, does anyone want to bid?"
As soon as Shen Yangling's words fell, Zhang Yang directly raised the sign.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Can you buy another say, first accelerate!
A little bit of Kavin.,Strive to make up for the missing update tomorrow.,Sorry!
