Chapter 0646 Auction (I)

Zhuang Rui thought for a while, simply put now also belongs to Ezkena’s ghost valley down the mountain blue porcelain jar, belongs to the Jimi Museum of white jade tiger and other objects, collectively give a list in, among the declared items, the national level of protection of cultural relics of the number of more, for the approval of the approval is also advantageous.

In addition there are Huangfu Yun’s batch of antique swords and knives, was also written up by Zhuang Rui, this is a previously agreed upon thing, more than 20,000 square meters of the exhibition hall, only Zhuang Rui’s this collection, that is simply not enough to see.

However, in the early stage, Zhuang Rui certainly will not open the entire pavilion, he will be based on the actual collection, limited open museum, slowly add items inside, Rome was not built in a day, the museum, but also to slowly to enrich the.

And so after the opening of the museum, but also to the antique community to collect collectibles, these collectibles ownership, or to the original owner, Zhuang Rui just signed an agreement with its, and then placed in the museum exhibition, of course, Zhuang Rui for this also have to pay some of the costs.

Museum site solved, now the problem is the number of museum collections, Huangfu Yun’s antique swords, domestic and foreign collection together, a total of more than three hundred.

Counting Zhuang Rui hands dozens of antiques, although the number of still feel a little less, but the quality can not be low, alone the national level of protection of cultural relics, there are more than 10, plus Zhuang Rui ready to stay a few Picasso sketches, apply for the “national” head of the museum’s name, it seems to be not too bad for people.

And in this, there are a few pieces of big objects, such as the “stereoscopic sword” and that does not belong to Zhuang Rui’s “elephant” bronze, which belongs to the country’s important, even some famous state-owned museums, also do not see can have such a collection.

After organizing this list, Zhuang Rui dialed Wei Ming’s phone, faxed the list over, and communicated with Wei Ming on the phone.

Because to declare a private museum, you also need to fill out an application for registration, museum statutes, display outline, the premises of the right to use the certificate, proof of funding and the curator as well as the main professional and technical staff of the academic certificate, as well as practitioners resume and so on information.

Application for registration and museum statutes, including the outline of these are good to do, in the Beijing Museum should have ready-made information, let Ouyang Jun greetings, Wei Ming directly copy a similar on the line.

As for the museum site land use right certificate, with the name of the developer’s guarantee, the problem should not be too big, as for the funding certificate, Zhuang Rui put their own euro account reported to Wei Ming, the museum of the time of capital inspection, their own millions of euros of funds, is not too small.

Just this museum of professional and technical personnel qualifications, let Zhuang Rui a bit of a headache, the last or Wei Ming gave an idea, go to Beijing several museum professional school temporary to recruit, as long as the treatment is better, this problem can be solved.

Finally is Zhuang Rui students their own things, want to do curator that is to have qualifications, but it is not difficult to Zhuang Rui, directly let the National Jade Association to open a document proving that Zhuang Rui is a jade appraisal of experts, the curator to do up is also true to its name.

“Mr. Zhuang, the name of our museum, what to call it?”

After things almost talk, Wei Ming finally asked this question, there is Ouyang Jun this god in the formalities and so on should not be a big problem, but the museum always have to have a name, right?

“Name?”

Zhuang Rui froze for a moment, he only cared to think about the details of the problem, really did not think about the name of the museum, and this name is really not good, because the types of Zhuang Rui collection is too complicated, there are ceramics, there are ancient paintings, there are also bronzes and ancient swords, can not be in accordance with the category of the name.

“China Xuan Rui Museum? Shit, no, dude is still young, not so early into the museum.”

Zhuang Rui thought of a name, inside it was negated, what kind of place is a museum? That is to let people visit the place of admiration, with their own name, is not a curse of their own well?

“Zhuang Rui, can not be called the museum of the fixed light! Your hand is not the most valuable sword?”

Next to Qin Xuan Bing see Zhuang Rui anxious scratching his face, can not help but speak out to give a name.

“Dingguang? China Dingguang Museum?”

Zhuang Rui read out in his mouth, feeling still full of smooth, he is not very concerned about the name, and then said to the microphone: “Mr. Wei, let’s call it Dingguang Museum! It’s best if you can add the word China, if not don’t force it, then just call it the Beijing Dingguang Museum.”

“Good, Mr. Zhuang don’t worry, this thing will have a result in three or five days, I’ll call you back!”

Although Zhuang Rui hung in the company’s title is assistant general manager, is returned to their own management, but Wei Ming know Zhuang Rui is the real estate company’s second boss, between the words and dare not be arrogant, very respectful of this matter to the past, anyway, and do not need to do his busy work, with Ouyang Jun’s greetings, as long as he sends a specific thing to do people to run on the line.

Put down the phone to Wei Ming, Zhuang Rui would have liked to give Professor Bass a phone call, but after thinking about it, this matter can not seem too anxious, the meaning of the strange goods, that is, no one I have, others begged to their own in order to open a high price.

After these things, Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuan Bing went downstairs to the restaurant to enjoy a meal for two, Peng Fei is not so good life, in the guest room to accompany the white lion, eating Zhuang Rui brought up takeout, of course, the dishes are still good, just …… together with the object of the meal is a little that.

“Zhuang old brother, you are late! Luckily, the auction hasn’t started yet, let’s go in quickly!”

The next morning at 9 o’clock, Zhuang Rui took Qin Xuan Bing, rushed to the venue that held the Paris Chinese artwork special auction.

Huangfu Yun has been waiting at the door for more than half an hour, see Zhuang Rui, a pull on him to go inside, hand also stuffed him a number plate, which is in advance to help Zhuang Rui apply to the auction number, to pay 100,000 euros deposit in advance, of course, this deposit at the end of the auction is refundable.

“What’s the hurry! We don’t intend to bid anyway, it’s okay to arrive a little late.”

Due to yesterday’s museum things to finalize, Zhuang Rui a little excited, the night and Qin Xuan Bing did under the movement, uh, intensity and action difficulty is relatively large, so this morning got up late, if it is not Qin Xuan Bing also want to see the auction of cultural relics, Zhuang Rui do not want to come.

“Hm? Brother Huangfu, what’s wrong with you?”

After Zhuang Rui finished his speech, he saw Huangfu Yun’s face was a bit off, and couldn’t help but open his mouth to ask.

“Alas, old brother, yesterday I saw a ‘Qianlong Nianzhi’ belt knife, I feel like the Emperor Qianlong’s saber, and went out to give it a shot.”

Huangfu Yun this auction, everywhere to lobby some domestic buyers do not bid, do not be the auction house and the owner of the disk of the rolling ball maneuver set in, but the pro is out of their own shot an object, which face is inevitably some embarrassment.

Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head, he can understand the collection of a certain object, see the authenticity of the feeling, did not say anything more, just asked: “How much money shot down?”

Huangfu Yun saw that Zhuang Rui didn’t blame him, his face lightened up a bit, and said, “The starting price was 6,000 euros, but I shot it down for 220,000 euros, plus the handling fee, and when converted into RMB, it cost a total of about 2.6 million RMB or so.”

“Sword collection is not very popular, even if I bid to lift down the price, it’s okay, I believe that the international speculators are not aiming at this, brother Huangfu, it’s okay.”

Zhuang Rui comforted Huangfu Yun a sentence, he is also right, sword collection is considered to be relatively cold, generally there will not be people deliberately to do the support to raise the price, because the collection of this thing is less, in case of lifting over, that even if it is going to be smashed in the hands of the.

Three people talking, through the auction house door verification, into the auction hall.

And seen outside are some blonde blue-eyed foreigners are different, just walked into the hall, Zhuang Rui saw a lot of black hair and yellow skin faces, a survey, the auction hall more than a hundred people inside, there are seventy or eighty people are Asian or Chinese people.

But those people are mostly in their forties and fifties, after seeing Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuan Bing duo, their gazes are on them for a while, such international auctions, there are few young people like Zhuang Rui to participate in, unless they are entrusted by some invisible tycoons who don’t want to show their faces to participate in the auction.

As for Huangfu Yun, these people were relatively familiar with him, in recent years he could often be seen at such international auctions, and from time to time someone greeted Huangfu Yun as he walked towards his seat.

Of course, there are also people to pull Huangfu Yun to the side to ask about Zhuang Rui’s origins, Huangfu Yun are vague words to pass, Zhuang Rui will be cut a flat head, and a few months ago on CCTV’s image is quite different, but no one can recognize him.

“Gentlemen, ladies, I’m Jefferson Downey who presided over this auction, I’m very glad that everyone can come to participate in this special auction of Chinese art, in yesterday, we auctioned a total of eighteen pieces of precious Chinese art, I think that today’s auction, it will be even more successful.”

After Zhuang Rui and the others sat down for about five minutes, a white auctioneer walked to the front of the auction table and skillfully uttered an opening speech in French and English, and sparse applause rang out from the stage.

In fact, yesterday’s situation is not like what Jefferson said, is shot out eighteen pieces of Chinese antiques is not false, but fifteen of them are arranged by the auction house of people shot away.

Otherwise, I’m afraid that only three lots could be sold yesterday, and Jefferson was not the main auction yesterday, as an internationally renowned auctioneer, he rushed to put out the fire today.
