Zhang Yang felt that he could see the strangeness in it.

These people who are counting on the antiques to make money at the scene won't be unable to see it, right?

He observed the expressions and movements of everyone at the auction and consignment seats.

Everyone is tepid, slowly increasing the price.

It's been a long time, and it's just been added to 300,000.

This kind of price increase is obviously a tacit acquiescence, this thing is not Zhao Mengfu's real work.

There are already only three people bidding, and it is estimated that the final transaction price will not exceed 400,000.

As long as you are not a newcomer who has just entered the industry today, you should know that Zhao Mengfu's copy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" has a transaction price of 10 million.

As soon as the transaction price of this piece comes out, it is equivalent to officially announcing the identity of its imitation.

"350,000 one-time ......"

On the stage, Shen Yangling had already picked up the small wooden hammer.

At this moment, Zhang Yang was in front of him, and the eldest brother who was cut leeks at the beginning of the game shot again.

"400,000, someone on the scene bid 400,000!"

"400,000 one-time ......"

“……”

"400,000 deals! Congratulations to this gentleman! ”

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, Zhang Yang heard the familiar curse again.

Scald!

This time the sound was louder than before, causing several rows of people in the vicinity to turn their heads to look at the buyer.

Under the pressure of everyone's eyes, the eldest brother hurriedly whispered "I'm sorry" and apologized to everyone.

After all, it was he who was too loud and made a noise to the person next to him.

"This big brother is quite polite."

Zhang Yang sat directly behind and listened happily.

It is a bit too much to say that this lot is "in the middle of the auction game", but it is enough to be considered a trap.

The eldest brother was silent for half an hour, and as soon as he made a move, he stepped in accurately.

How much he will lose this time, even Zhang Yang can't predict.

These two are inscribed by famous artists, and they are still somewhat valuable.

Maybe in the end, I only lose half of it.

……

At the end of the first day of the auction, the highest price was "Moving Bamboo" by Ming Dynasty painter Shen Zhou.

As one of the "Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty", Shen Zhou's masterpiece sold for 16.9 million, which is genuine.

was not compared to his apprentices, Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin.

However, the three of them combined couldn't beat Fu Baoshi or Zhang Daqian next door.

In the modern painting scene, the turnover exploded.

Fu Baoshi's "Dongshan Silk Bamboo", the transaction price is as high as 31.3 million;

Zhang Daqian's "Viewing the Spring" was auctioned at a sky-high price of 64.22 million.

Outside the venue, I heard such news that I wanted to go to the antique market of modern and modern paintings to pick up the leaks.

But it's just a matter of thinking.

Whether it is Fu Baoshi, Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi or Li Keran, the number of works they have publicly auctioned has far exceeded the number of creations in their lifetimes.

This is still the case in the auction market, not to mention the sinking primary market for antiques?

It is estimated that in recent months, the printing press that printed Zhang Daqian's paintings in color will turn into smoke again.

"Excuse me, are you Master Zhang from Linhai?"

A somewhat familiar male voice came from his ears, pulling Zhang Yang back to reality.

When I looked up, it was a middle-aged man in a suit.

With a big belly and a little fat face, he is smiling and saying hello.

This face is very unfamiliar to Zhang Yang, but the flattering smile on the other party's face is real.

"I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory." Zhang Yang asked politely, "Have we met anywhere?" ”

The person who can appear outside the Christie's auction hall may be a buyer from a previous auction that he has organized.

Seeing that the other party is dressed in a custom suit and a big gold watch, he should have this strength.

"I haven't seen it." The fat man shook his head: "But I have admired you for a long time, Master Zhang. ”

"I sat in front of you at the auction just now."

"Am I in front of me?" Zhang Yang asked.

It can't be a leek brother, right?

"Yes. When I photographed Zhao Mengfu's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", you smiled in the back, and I deliberately glanced back, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

"At that time, ah......"

Broken, arrested.

Zhang Yang's smile was a little embarrassed, explaining:

"I don't know what you filmed, I was listening to cross talk at that time."

Yes, it's to listen to cross talk at auctions.

As a professional treasure connoisseur anchor, it's impossible not to laugh uncontrollably.

Zhang Yang pointed to his ears, where there had been a pair of Bluetooth headphones that did not exist.

"Does Master Zhang also like to listen to cross talk?" The fat man said with a look of surprise: "Me too, every time I go to the mainland, I will go to see Mr. Guo's performance." ”

"But I listen to Cao Jin's one-mouth."

Zhang Yang directly blocked the words on the opposite side.

The other party is so in a hurry, fools can see it, and there is a plan.

Sure enough, after reading the subtext of Zhang Yang's "I don't want to chat, I have something to say", the fat man took out a business card.

He is the owner of a local art company in Hong Kong.

According to him, this company was founded in 2022, and after earning its first pot of gold in real estate, it has now changed tracks.

The purpose of getting acquainted with Zhang Yang was mainly to invite him to see if the two-page inscription of Zhao Mengfu's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" was genuine.

"It's impossible to buy Zhao Mengfu's authentic handiwork for 400,000 yuan, I just think the inscription may be a little valuable."

The fat man told Zhang Yang mysteriously and in a low voice:

"I analyze, these two pages of inscriptions, and the authentic work of Zhao Mengfu in the Wuxi Museum, may be a set."

In order to persuade Zhang Yang, the fat man first showed the photos of the authentic works in the Wuxi Museum, and then showed him the impression of Fan Yunlin in the Ming Dynasty.

The size of the paper is very close, and the colors are similar, much like a tribute to an idol when writing an inscription.

After reading it, Zhang Yang was a little interested.

He promised to wait for the auction to end, stay in Xiangjiang for two more days, and let the fat man do his landlord's friendship.

At the same time, it also helps him see if the inscription is genuine.

……

On the second day of the auction, the main event begins.

Zhou Bao opened the back door, and Zhang Yang sat in the high-level VIP area this time.

The difference with ordinary VIP is probably like the first and second class seats of the high-speed rail, which are a little more spacious and comfortable.

In the morning auction, Zhang Yang watched the whole process.

Can't afford it, really can't afford it.

The fine porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties is too expensive.

A piece [Qing Qianlong, blue and white entwined branches and lotus pattern ribbon ear Ruyi Zun, six-character seal book], the transaction price was 36.1 million.

At this price, it is estimated that Qianlong will be shocked when he sees it, 40,000 taels of silver, buy this?

He Shen didn't dare to play like this.

And these lots don't need to be fancied and accelerated.

Because the starting price is scary enough.

A pair of [Qing Qianlong, red sandalwood wrong silver cloisonné enamel palace lamp], the starting price is 600,000.

No one bids, and the auction is directly unsuccessful.

The auction process was completed in just one minute.

Not to mention those old furniture with a starting price of millions and Huanghuali in the Ming and Qing dynasties, nearly half of which were unsold.

For a while, the auction almost turned into an unsuccessful auction.

The whole morning of the auction gave Zhang Yang the feeling that:

Either the transaction is sold at a high price, or it is directly unsold.

Whether it's jade, wood carving, or porcelain, it's no exception.

This made Zhang Yang involuntarily nervous.

Although imperial green jadeite is precious, there are many substitutes.

It won't be unsold at that time, and the auction fee will be in vain, right?

It is gratifying that the dozens of lots that he and Zhou Baotan jointly sent for auction were almost unsold because the prices were close enough to the people.

In this way, at least more than one million have been recorded in the account, and it has not come in vain.

After a short break at noon, the auction resumed.

The first lot in the afternoon was the [Late Hongshan Culture, Jade Hook Shaped Vessel] that Zhang Yang had seen in the information before, with a starting price of 480,000 yuan.

During the exhibition stage, Zhang Yang looked at it and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This 5,000-year-old green jade, how is it a bit like artificially old?
