Chapter 70: Fake

It's Friday, and strictly speaking, the auction has already started today. However, the first day was just a warm-up, and there were not many guests in the venue.

Su Fubi has completely chartered the first floor of Shangri-La for exhibitions, and two small, one large and three conference rooms are full of display cabinets, which are also full of collections.

Among them, nearly half of them are "Su Fubi" bids, which are equivalent to the auction company's own tuning, and the rest are other art companies, auction houses, and collectors sent to participate in the auction.

There are hundreds of large and small texts, just like entering a large museum, Li Ding'an is dazzled.

There is a small hall full of foreign cultural relics, in addition to the most common oil paintings and sculptures, there are many strange things.

Manual calculators, typewriters with separate keys, clocks, globes, mechanical parts...... Li Ding'an also saw a wooden triangular ruler and compass.

Look at the introduction, it is said that the famous German mathematician Gauss used it, and then look at the starting price: 2.2 million.

Li Ding'an thought it was unlikely.

In the scientific community, this is recognized as a figure who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Newton and Archimedes, if he really used it, the starting price will be increased three or four times, and there will be people grabbing it.

Unfortunately, all showcases are closed, including during auctions: you can only see them, you can't get them.

This time is equivalent to abolishing ninety percent of Li Dingan's martial arts.

Of course, the system still works, and the price can still be assessed through the cabinet. But the problem is that it can only be estimated: the minimum starting price of a single array of collections is more than three million, and he can't afford it, so what's the use of appraising it?

The ones that can be bought are all displayed side by side, and there are more than a dozen cabinets with less, even if the price is estimated, God knows which one?

So he won't make a move easily, unless he can see a five-or six-point certainty with his eyesight......

After looking at the foreign cultural relics, I came to another small hall. It is full of religious relics, Taoist classics, Buddhist scriptures, and different versions of the Bible of the three Western religions. and robes, robes, pastoral robes, wooden fish, prayer cylinders, and dust.

Li Ding'an has opened his eyes, to be honest, he has never seen 90% of the things in these two halls.

Of course, there is not much interest. Value is only secondary, mainly because he is not very interested in faith, religion, etc.

After a general look, he turned to the largest exhibition hall, and Li Dingan felt that the painting style was more normal.

Calligraphy and painting, porcelain, ancient jade, coins, ...... Each antique represents the culture, customs, craftsmanship, scientific and technological level, and even social style of a certain period.

Looking at the countless exhibits, Li Ding'an seemed to see a vast scroll of paintings, and felt the brilliance and depth of thousands of years of civilization history......

Just as he was standing at the door and posting his illness, a joking voice came from behind him: "Su Fubi still dares to let you in?" ”

Turning his head, He Anbang was standing at the door with a smile, followed by a man about thirty years old.

The stamps and two manuscripts were auctioned, and it was He Anbang who pulled the thread, which is naturally a joke. Li Dingan smiled and walked over: "The leader came early. ”

"Tomorrow's exhibition, the day after tomorrow will start shooting, is this still early?" He Anbang introduced in the center, "This Mr. Yang, this Li Ding'an!" ”

"Yang is always good!"

"Hello!"

The two shook hands shallowly, and Li Dingan obviously felt that this Mr. Yang was a little arrogant.

Some people's personalities are like this, such as the Mr. Chen I met last time, who is more proud than this one.

After the introduction, He Anbang asked again: "What do you think?" ”

"I didn't see it much!" Li Dingan shook his head, "The lock is tight, at most, it is just a few glances." ”

"I forgot that you have a habit of seeing things. Large-scale auctions are like this, but rest assured, the things that can be auctioned must have been appraised by famous artists! ”

He Anbang pointed to a water sign at the entrance of the exhibition hall again, "If you see it, you will return it within three days!" ”

Li Dingan was stunned and took a closer look.

It roughly reads: After the transaction, if the buyer feels that there is a problem, he can ask an authoritative expert to identify, and if there is a problem with the thing identified by more than three experts recognized by the auction house, the auction house will refund the full amount.

He really didn't pay attention when he came in, including when the auction contract was signed yesterday, and the director didn't mention it.

There are few such after-sales contracts in the antique industry, and it can be seen that Su Fubi has made a bloody investment for this auction.

He Anbang waved his hand again: "Let's go, take you to see a few good things!" ”

Seeing him walk out, Li Dingan subconsciously asked: "There are only three halls, where else can I go?" ”

He Anbang smiled mysteriously: "I don't understand, do you know what a VIP is?"

VIp?

Subconsciously, Li Ding'an thought of the "most upscale exhibition hall" mentioned by Wu Youwei and Fang in the article on the day he came to Shanghai......

He immediately became interested and followed He Anbang into the elevator.

The three of them came to the twelfth floor, the hall was not big, but there were security personnel standing inside and outside the hall. When I got closer, I realized that this is not a showcase, but a safe.

It's not big, each one is only one meter square, and it is estimated that there is an alarm system underneath.

The front is glass, and there are spotlights inside, so you can see it clearly.

"See?" He Anbang pointed to one of them, "Great Qing filial piety and Gongci Empress Dowager Jinbao!" ”

Li Ding'an thought for a long time before he remembered who the Empress Dowager of filial piety and Gongci was: Jiaqing's concubine and Daoguang's stepmother.

Look inside: In the safe, there is a gold seal about ten centimeters high.

The button is a golden mantle with its head held high, and the print side is facing down, and I don't know what it engraves.

Look at the price again: 3 million.

Li Ding'an was shocked: "So cheap? ”

Although the back seal is not as noble as the imperial seal, if the value is concerned, it will definitely not be low.

There are many imperial seals that have been auctioned by Gain, especially the imperial seals of the Qing Dynasty, there are more than a dozen bottles, but there is only one bottle of the back seal: the green jade seal of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

At that time, it was ten years ago, and the transaction price was nearly 5 million, and now if it is taken out and auctioned again, the transaction price must be increased by at least zero.

This is the post-seal of the birth of the second bottle, even if Gongci is not as famous as Cixi, but it is less than thirty or forty million, don't even think about it.

"Three million is just the starting price!" He Anbang disagreed, "When Cixi's green jade seal was auctioned back then, the starting price was only 200,000, and in the end, it increased by more than 20 times?" ”

"That's right!"

"Look at this one again!" He Anbang walked forward again, covering the nameplate under the cabinet, "Test your eyesight first, and see if you can see who painted it!" ”

It is a painting, and looking at the size, it should be a vertical axis of a four-foot whole paper (68*136). Because the inside of the safe is limited, only a small part of it is expanded.

Li Ding took a look and recognized that this should be a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix. Looking closely, I found that one of the seals was the "Treasure of the Eight Signs".

Good guy, Qianlong Yupen?

More than ten years ago, a Qianlong's "Songyang Han Bai Tu" was in an uproar, and it has not been forgotten so far, in addition to the "expert trick painting" that has been talked about, it is the final transaction price: more than 87 million!

How much can I shoot now?

He was not sure of the exact amount, but hundreds of millions was the least.

"Is it really Qianlong's true work?"

"Hey, do you have good eyesight?" He Anbang let go of his hand, and it really said "Qianlong Imperial Pen", and the starting price was 50 million.

"Whether it's genuine or not, we have to wait for the researchers in the museum to see it, but it's unlikely that something will go wrong......"

"And!" He Anbang walked to the third safe and covered the nameplate again, "Guess, what is this?" ”

Li Dingan's eyelids jumped: Is this still a guess?

Blue and white seawater nine dragon pattern vat?

Absolutely not mistaken, 100 percent, exactly like the one that appeared before.

Eleven years ago, at the spring auction of CITIC in Macau, there was just such a one, and it cost 900 million. Therefore, the big jar of Guiguzi that took 230 million is just a younger brother in front of it.

Is it any wonder that this auction can be called a "grand event"?

To be honest, just by being able to see the reality of this thing, this time it was not in vain.

Therefore, just for a moment, Li Ding'an's gaze was absorbed.

The glaze is bright, the blue and white are vivid, the carcass is round and thick, and the bottom is neat...... At first glance, there is no place that does not conform to the characteristics of the large blue and white pieces of the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty.

But I don't know why, Li Dingan always feels that this thing is a little bit new......

It's not that I doubt the authenticity, but I just subconsciously feel: This vat looks like it has just been dug out of the soil?

Could it be that the angle is wrong?

Or maybe the spotlight is too strong?

It's not that the internal material of the safe is also reflective, so it's a little distorted......

Do you want to use the system to identify it?

One hundred thousand, it feels a bit extravagant.

Besides, such a big auction, and it's the treasure of the town fair, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

But on the other hand, it's coming......

After a moment's hesitation, he finally put his hand on the safe.

Then, Li Dingan was completely confused.

This time, his eyelids were skipping, but his heart was beating.

There is a safe in the way, and no specific information can be measured, only the price.

But it's totally enough.

Estimate: 8,000 yuan......

Fake?
