Chapter 0093 – Prairie Black Market (VIII)
Zhou Rui who was sitting behind Zhuang Rui. After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, his face couldn’t help but twitch, but he knew that after trading the painting that Zhuang Rui held in his hand, the bag in his hand was already less than three hundred thousand, but at this time, the eyes of the people in the tent were all gazing at Zhuang Rui, and he was not in a good position to speak out and remind him.
“Wood, this three-colored horse is genuine? Is it worth this much?”
Liu Chuan, however, did not have these concerns, he carried a handbag, but also put a few tens of thousands of dollars, to make up 300,000 or no problem.
Zhuang Rui smiled and said, “Rascal, in 1989 in the United Kingdom auctioned a three-color black horse, do you know how much the transaction price is?”
“How much?” Liu Chuan asked cooperatively.
“4,955,000 pounds, hear me clearly, it’s pounds!”
Zhuang Rui’s voice was slightly loud, not only did Liu Chuan hear it clearly, I’m afraid everyone in the tent heard it too.
“Holy shit, 4.95 million, right. Wood, is the pound worth money or our RMB? Don’t be about the same as the Vietnamese dong, right?”
Liu Chuan was shocked by this figure, but for the exchange rate between the pound and the yuan, he obviously does not know it very well, but Liu Chuan knows that in the first few years on the long-distance bus some people who engage in fraud, take the worthless large denomination of the Vietnamese dong, coaxing people to exchange it for the yuan, 4 million Vietnamese dong, that is, the yuan is about 1,000 yuan, if the pound is the same way, then they would lose a lot of money.
Zhuang Rui was a little embarrassed by Liu Chuan’s words, how fresh! Comparing the British pound to the Vietnamese dong, he said: ”Can’t you kids learn more! You multiply 4.95 million RMB by a ten or so times and it’s equal to 4.95 million pounds.”
“Ten times 4,950,000 is 49,500,000, more than ten times, holy shit, wood, isn’t that worth more than 50 million RMB ah?”
Liu Chuan looked at that three-colored horse, his eyes were shining brightly, where is this broken clay burnt ah, simply more valuable than just a golden horse.
“Mr. Liu’s side bid three hundred thousand yuan, and which friend bid, everyone has seen, this three-colored horse open door component is quite large. With everyone’s ability, I’m sure it’s not difficult to bid!”
Long Jie full of compelling voice, sounded again, in fact, in his heart, the three-colored horse also has no bottom, from its shape, rounded full, horse shape is relatively fat, very consistent with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty, and glaze light within the inner, soft and warm, from both perspectives, it is a rare treasure.
But this three-color horse glaze color soft reveal brilliant, warm hidden thief light, and the lack of Harry light (Harry light refers to the porcelain shows a kind of fluorescence like mica, like clamskin inside the violet-blue, generally speaking, the old porcelain color glaze out of this kind of light, is caused by the lead), of course, not all of the Tang three-color have Harry light, so do not rule out the absence of this three-color Harry light also belongs to the Genuine. Just can’t help but make people suspicious.
“I’ll offer three hundred and fifty thousand ……”
Sunglasses woman hesitated a little, Zhuang Rui raised the price of 100,000 at once, to her psyche also caused a trace of pressure, not from the money above the pressure, but for their own vision of the judgment, she originally for this three-color horse psychological price, only booked to 250,000, but Zhuang Rui’s shouting, so that her confidence has been shaken.
“Four hundred thousand ……”
Boss Jiang was obviously unwilling to give up this last lot, it was about a matter of face, even if it was a fake, he couldn’t return empty-handed after making a trip, not to mention, Takeuchi had also taken a fancy to this three-colored horse, and his own failure to follow the bidding on the previous items had made Takeuchi very dissatisfied.
“Mr. Liu, Boss Jiang has bid four hundred thousand.”
Lang Jie shouted at Zhuang Rui’s side, the meaning is obvious, you continue to shout ah! The higher you shout, the happier I am.
There is not a person knows, in that sunglasses woman shouted thirty-five million, Zhuang Rui that almost mentioned the heart of the eye of the throat, only put down, slightly leaned forward, Zhuang Rui at this time to find out, behind their underwear, has been completely soaked in cold sweat, tightly pasted on the body.
This thing that is what Tang Sancai. From the Tang Dynasty is a thousand and three hundred years, even a Republic of China three colors are not counted, authentic a typical liberation after three colors.
Zhuang Rui himself on the Tang three-color just have a general understanding, know its origin, you have to ask him glaze color tire quality, production process, etc., that is absolutely a question three do not know, the reason why he concluded that this three-color horse is a modern imitation, not only is this three-color horse no aura, and in the front of the three-color horse on the right side of the horse’s feet inside, there is a “Xu The word “Xu”, of course, this word can only be seen by Zhuang Rui.
As we all know, the simplified character is in the liberation only after the implementation of the pre-liberation as well as earlier, “Xu” word writing, must be the word wu Xu, and the foot of the horse in the word Xu, with the simplified character, before the liberation of there is no such writing, that is to say, this object must be a modern high imitation of the undoubtedly.
To say that this master of counterfeiting, is also very interesting, this three-color horse can almost be said to be fake. Genuine three-color horse basic features, this high imitation three-color horse have, it can be said, the same point has reached more than 99%, the remaining less than 1% of the more special features, is currently unable to imitate, because this special place only a thousand years of time to form, manpower powerless to do so.
But in addition to that 1%, the counterfeiter also left a mark, that is, the horse’s foot at the word, just the word written inside. Let a person can not be recognized just, I guess that master of the meaning is, I leave a break, whether to find out the foot of the horse, depending on the skills of you people, this break also happens to stay in the foot of the horse, should be taken from the Tang Dynasty when the horse instead of the unicorn dance, did not wrap the hooves, and reveal the meaning of the foot.
Modern forgery of some craftsmen, their skills are undoubtedly very high, if placed in ancient times, it is not allowed to also be a generation of masters, but why you things burned again, lack of time to sharpen, it can only be considered a handicraft, and can not be called antiques, so that some people have resentment, in the old fake, but also intentionally leave some of the bloom.
As for why Zhuang Rui shouted out three hundred thousand price, the reason is also very simple, he just want to pit a small Japan, although Takeuchi is a friendly person in China, but ran to this kind of place, or want to our country’s national treasures, bring back to Japan, the whole of a cultural aggression, Zhuang Rui is not a cynic, but for the Japanese is also never good feeling.
Zhuang Rui has observed half a day, the Japanese Takeuchi, the three-colored horse interest, from time to time in the Jiang boss, and then instead of Takeuchi shouting price of the Jiang total, put out a pair of momentum, see no one to raise the price, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but call out the price of three hundred thousand to.
Just shouting the price of the time, feel quite painful, words shouted out. Zhuang Rui regretted, in case the field of these people elite, see what cracks, and no longer raise the price, then he can eat a dumb loss, although Zhuang Rui is now also a small fortune, but let him spend three hundred thousand to buy a fake thing to hold home, that Zhuang Rui will certainly be smacked a few slaps in their own face, but fortunately, sunglasses female shouting, let him out of the dilemma, but also attracted the Jiang boss of the price once again.
“Mr. Liu, it’s a rare opportunity! Mr. Jiang has already bid four hundred thousand RMB.”
Seeing that Zhuang Rui didn’t speak for a long time, Long Jie shouted again.
“Dude just brought three hundred thousand, no more!”
Zhuang Rui gently shook his head, Liu Chuan understood what he meant and said loudly, completely ignoring the contemptuous glances cast all over the room.
“This lady, do you still want to raise the price?”
Seeing that Liu Chuan’s side had given up, Long Jie immediately asked the sunglasses woman.
“Just now see him directly raise the price to three hundred thousand, a really must get the look, now again do not follow the price, could it be that he is really shy? Impossible, people who come here, even if the cash is not abundant, but also can open cash checks, and then confirmed by phone ah!”
Sunglasses woman this will be in the heart is guessing the intention of Zhuang Rui, her first sense of this three-color horse, character glaze and its shape, is simply an open door of the work, but it is also this three-color horse is too perfect, so that her heart has a kind of not very good feeling, so after Zhuang Rui called out three hundred thousand price, she just added fifty thousand.
“I give up!”
Shaking her head, the sunglasses woman’s clear and pleasant voice rang out in the tent.
“Congratulations to Mr. Jiang, the last item of today’s auction house, the Tang Dynasty Three-Colored Horse, belongs to Mr. Jiang.”
Long Jie had enough reasons to be happy, today’s auction, gave him millions in revenue, while the expenses were few, the people under his command who mingled with him were quite a few, but the overhead was not very big, even the cost of acquiring these objects was very low, it could be said that it was a profitable business.
However, Jiang’s face is not very good, his heart of the idea and the sunglasses woman is almost the same, just about their own face, as well as beside the pressure brought by the bamboo, or shouted out the price of 400,000, at this time to see Zhuang Rui and sunglasses woman at the same time withdrew from the bidding, the heart of the natural muttering, but he also made up his mind, this thing will be given to Takeuchi, is true or false, their own does not care about it.
“I have arranged some activities inside Lhasa city, those who need it can go forward to participate in it, today’s auction ends here, I hope that the next auction, I can still see you all.”
Lang Jie words, for this auction draws a conclusion, after finishing the words, Lang Jie hand holding a business card, walked straight to the front of Liu Chuan and others, each on a business card, although Liu Chuan a few people, this time, only out to take down a painting of Tang Pak Fu’s fake paintings, but by virtue of Zhuang Rui’s arms of the pure-blooded Snow Mastiff, Lang Jie would not dare to look down on a few people, if he knew that Zhuang Rui in the yin that Japanese, making him If he knew that Zhuang Rui had made him a big profit when he shaded that Japanese man, I’m afraid that his attitude would still be respectful.
“Boss Long Jie, you send a car, send the two of them back to the hotel, I’ll take a ride with little brother Liu Chuan, how about it, brother Liu Chuan, this body of mine can’t crush that tank car of yours!”
The horse boss stood up from the chair, actually want to do Zhuang Rui and other people’s hitchhiking, which makes the crowd are a little puzzled, just now this fat horse still hate to use money to smash each other, now even calmly old face initiative to show good, this fat man can stretch, but also a character, but the crowd thought that the fat horse is still for the sake of that purebred Tibetan mastiff, only to ask for the same car with Zhuang Rui and others it!
Liu Chuan this person’s character, always eat soft but not hard, see Fatty Ma initiative to soften, then said: “Let’s go! Estimated that Santana’s door, you squeeze in hard.”
Fatty Ma on Liu Chuan’s words do not care, the original colorful eyes, no longer look at the side of the woman scratching her head, smilingly followed behind Zhuang Rui and others, on the Hummer.
