Chapter 0864: People are Stupid and Have a lot of Money (I)
The large living room of the Racecourse Club was originally for some of the so-called upper class elites to hold a party, now the bar table is used as an auction table, and the original dance floor, is filled with chairs.
To say that the auction caused a sensation is really not small, six rows of chairs with 10 people in each row, almost all full of people, even Zhuang Rui heart is a little bit of a drum, this antique black market opened so flamboyant, I guess Li Li Dali is also the only one in the country.
“Golden old brother, let’s sit in the back!”
The front row good position has long been filled with people, and Zhuang Rui this time was originally soy sauce, and do not intend to make a splash, in his thought, shameless little Japan, must hold back to the two pieces of porcelain to shoot back.
“Mr. Jin, you also came ah?”
“Aigoo, Mr. Zhuang also came, rarely see you that.”
“Lao Jin, you play calligraphy and painting, why are you also interested in porcelain?”
Zhuang Rui and Fatty Jin hadn’t even taken their seats yet, and greetings rang in their ears.
Ever since the opening of the Definitive Light Museum, Zhuang Rui organized a meeting within the industry, as long as it is a little famous in the antique trade, there are few people who do not recognize Zhuang Rui.
Like this occasion, the experts come less, while those who are rich corporate collectors is a large number of people, after all, play collection is also a manifestation of the strength, otherwise you eye medium again good, shyness is not able to buy the object.
Zhuang Rui and fat man can be called a well-deserved expert, so many collectors, are very enthusiastic and the two greetings, perhaps later the two words, can let them suffer a lot of losses.
As for Peng Fei and Miao Fei Fei, they were naturally categorized into the ranks of bodyguards and honeys.
“Mr. Liu, I heard last time that your painting of Tong Pak Fu is ready to be offered for sale! Let’s talk about it later. Hey, Mr. Wang, you still have that Qianlong gilt plate, right? If you’re willing to transfer it, please let me know.”
In the antique line crawling and fighting for two or three years, Zhuang Rui also faded from the initial youthfulness, and the ease of these successful businessmen to talk up.
From Zhuang Rui opened the antique website began to run after the experts and collectors of the interaction is also more up, both sides from the benefit of a lot of private relationship is also like a friend in general.
Zhuang Rui’s stereoscopic museum is more advantageous, from which received a lot of good objects, there are a few really good quality goods, is and the field of several people trading.
This is not only Zhuang Rui and others in the chat, is some other familiar antique collectors, but also in the exchange of experience.
The entrepreneurs are not all cultured people, speak in a loud voice for a number of, the whole auction site seems a little messy.
However, Zhuang Rui found that in the venue of the first row of seats, there are seven or eight people wearing a suit and tie, sitting there with a serious face without saying a word.
Zhuang Rui was sizing up the others, while Miao Fei Fei was watching Zhuang Rui, looking at Zhuang Rui at this moment, Miao Fei Fei felt both familiar and a hint of strangeness, the slightly youthful young man from two years ago had now stood at a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. This feeling made Officer Miao feel a little lost, silently sitting alone on a chair, watching the multitude of people within this scene.
“Gentlemen, ladies, bosses, well …… still this word is comfortable to use, all of those here can be my humble self’s bread and butter ah!”
Zhuang Rui and others just sat down, a voice rang out from the front of the stage, Zhuang Rui heard really, actually is Li Dali himself in the host, can not help but heart some surprise.
In the black market of antiques, this phenomenon is relatively rare, the general background of the deep boss, will be hidden behind the scenes remote control command auction process, so that even if there is a problem, but also can spend money to take themselves out.
Can let the boss of the organization personally preside over, generally only shows that the auction has more important objects.
Although Li Dali rarely show up in auction occasions, but the field know his identity, but not a few people, after Li Dali said these words, the field only resounded a few light laughter, the atmosphere is slightly condensed.
Magnetic state official kiln porcelain unearthed, will be in the history of Chinese ceramics written an important one, can be in the bag, for these corporate collectors, that is a double face thing.
“All bosses in the busy schedule to participate in this antique exchange, I will not nonsense, the following to exchange the first collection.”
Li Dali’s words, let the stage is a laughter, who all know this time to participate in the auction of antiques, but to Li Dali’s mouth, it is turned into an exchange of antiques.
Sitting beside Zhuang Rui’s Miao Fei Fei, the corner of her mouth also slightly curled up, it seems that Zhuang Rui’s words are not false, at the very least, he and this host’s words are the same.
“Well, let’s look at today’s first artifact below, this is an early work by Mr. Huang Binhong, a modern master of gold stone painting and calligraphy. In last month’s Hanhai Spring Auction, one of Mr. Huang’s contemporaneous works, fetched a price of four million three hundred and eighty thousand yuan, interested friends can come up and take a look first.”
With Li Dali’s introduction, two horsemen slowly spread a scroll placed in a tray on the table, on the table there was a strong spotlight, even if Zhuang Rui, who was sitting in the last row, could clearly see the full picture of the painting.
It was a splash ink landscape painting, the mountains were strong and vigorous, vertical and horizontal and strange, while the painting style was sparse and clear, quite like Huang Binhong’s early years.
“Older brother, why don’t you go up and take a look?”
Fatty Jin, who was sitting on one side of Zhuang Rui, asked. At this moment those collectors had long been going up, putting on their gloves and starting to observe the painting.
“Elder brother Jin, why don’t you go up and take a look?”
Zhuang Rui smiled at his words, even without using his aura to probe, Zhuang Rui also dared to guarantee that this painting was definitely a fake.
Li Dali is not stupid, he definitely won’t take out the real thing for auction when he is being watched by the police, even the wording he is very careful and used the word artifact.
For the antique market, the relevant domestic regulations are not standardized, the private sale has always existed, and the category of handicrafts is even greater, someone is willing to buy, the state can not interfere.
While chatting with Fatty Jin, Zhuang Rui swept a glance on the painting with his aura, it was indeed a modern imitation, there was not a trace of aura present in it.
“If I go up here, I’ll be smashing people’s rice bowls!”
Although Fatty Jin was greedy, he knew that as long as he went up, he would definitely become the weathervane of many collectors, whether it was real or fake depended on his own words, which was also the main reason why many antique dealers and black market bosses spared no effort to curry favor with the experts.
If the painting is a fake, Fatty Jin said straight, sure to offend the boss, really, that can’t help conscience, so Fatty Jin for painting and calligraphy objects, is determined not to get involved in the idea.
“Mr. Jin, you go up and take a look!”
“Old Jin, we’ve known each other for more than ten years! Go up and take a look for your brother.”
“Yes! Teacher Jin, you also give a review ah, this domestic level of identification of paintings and calligraphy, but no one can compare to you.”
Fatty gold sitting there towering immobile, but those collectors are surrounded by, pulling relations to set close to some, flattering and bragging a lot, in short, just want to let Fatty gold to take a look.
“Gentlemen, don’t make it difficult for me? Turn around and Old Jin will treat you all to make amends.”
Fatty Jin was said by the crowd is a cold sweat, can talk to him, are some status, Fatty Jin a can not offend, simply hands clasped fists, as a shrunken head turtle.
“Bosses, this painting is a friend to send, hands do not come up with money, want to transfer out, the transfer price is RMB 200,000, there are interested friends can consider, well, according to the rules, or the highest bidder gets it.”
Waiting until the crowd have seen the painting back to the seat, Li Dali’s voice then rang, but from beginning to end, the words are not auction two words, but into the transfer.
The people in the venue are not the first time to participate in the black market of antiques, for these language skills are very understanding, and will not change their opinion because of what Li Dali said.
“Three hundred thousand dollars, I’ll take this painting.”
The field was slightly silent for a while, a voice suddenly rang out, the person who spoke was the same Mr. Liu who had just greeted Zhuang Rui.
But all a successful person, are extremely confident people, they wrestle in the shopping mall trained eyesight, but also brought to the antiques business, with their understanding of antiques, these people most like to rush out.
But amateur collectors do not know, their behavior, is really a big taboo in the antique line, antique line to identify the object, pay attention to is the object of three false, look at the false do not look at the real, can not pick the faults that still have to think about three.
“Four hundred thousand, old Liu, you have a lot of celebrity paintings in your hands, this one let me!” A voice rang out immediately after Mr. Liu’s bidding.
“Five hundred thousand, good things are not afraid of more.”
Mr. Liu is not willing to show weakness, and called out a price, listening to Zhuang Rui can not help but secretly shake his head, no wonder Li Dali with the black market of antiques can have such a family, dare to say that this is the legend of the people stupid money ah!
Although there is no lack of fakes in the formal auction house, but compared to the black market, relatively standardized, at least there will be relevant appraisers issued by the appraisal certificate, and not like this follow the feeling.
“Six hundred thousand ……”
“Eight hundred thousand ……”
Bidding continues, the middle and two people mixed in, they are also stored in the psychology of speculation, after all, Huang Binhong’s landscape paintings, in the international are very famous, as long as the formal auction house, at least is also two million starting auction.
After several rounds of fierce competition, the final painting was Liu to one million two hundred thousand price shot away, looking at the smug Liu boss, Zhuang Rui is really some tears and laughter.
