Chapter 0865 – Foolish Money (II)
Buy a fake object still show a look like a treasure, estimates will only appear in the antique business, these bosses performance, like here as a shopping mall in general, the ingredients of the fight to be more than sensible.
Of course, now the happiest person is no more than Li boss, this painting is he spent thirty thousand dollars to find a master imitation out, a turnover of forty times, that is, drug trafficking is not so high profit ah!
“Well, the following to communicate with you, is a pair of Qing Xianfeng years of official kiln porcelain, everyone please see, this is a pair of pastel lotus pattern bowl for no cover bowl. Friends know, Xianfeng official kiln products exceptionally rare, so this pair of pastel lotus pattern bowl can be said to be the only two surviving in the world of the orphan.”
With the sound of Li Dali’s words, the auction went on, this time in the tray to bring up, is a pair of Qing Xianfeng official kiln porcelain.
As we all know, Xianfeng Emperor is considered to be the Qing Dynasty is more unlucky an emperor, China’s history of the largest peasant revolt Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement let him catch up, the Western powers invaded China’s three thousand years has not been the situation also let this buddy stalled.
Emperor Xianfeng a person to the Qing dynasty ancestors of the suffering are borne, a short life, the hardship, suffered the second opium war after the blow, Xianfeng emperor finally collapsed, to the age of thirty-one years old died in the hot river.
Xianfeng master life favorite is to listen to the opera and women, for the old ancestors like calligraphy and painting ceramics is disdain, so in the Xianfeng years burned porcelain, is considered the most rare.
As the saying goes, rare is expensive, the value of fine porcelain during the Xianfeng years, not less than the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong three dynasties of porcelain prices.
“Older brother, go, go up and take a look.” Since the auction this time was not for paintings and calligraphy, Fatty Jin also planned to take a look.
“Good.” Zhuang Rui nodded and walked with Fatty Jin to the front of the stage.
“Aigoo, make way, first let the two teachers give a palm.”
“Yeah! Lao Xu, what are you squeezing for! Can you read it?”
“Come, come, Mr. Zhuang, this is a good position, take a look.”
Zhuang Rui and Fatty Jin just walked over, originally surrounded by the table, were those collectors very consciously make a way, this day to participate in the auction is too many people, the scene has always appeared to be a bit chaotic.
“Elder brother Jin, you look first.” Zhuang Rui gestured towards Fatty Jin.
“Don’t bother, I’m not as good as you in ceramics appraisal, there are two pieces here, let’s each look at one.”
Fatty Jin waved his hand repeatedly, as the saying goes, there are specialties in the art, and then powerful experts, that is only in a certain field, like Zhuang Rui can be in the bronze, calligraphy and painting, jade and ceramics and so on many categories of people all have achievements, that is extremely rare.
“Good, then let’s look at one piece each!”
Summer is easy to sweat, hands are greasy, Zhuang Rui took a pair of white gloves and put them on his hands, took the piece of pastel colored lotus pattern bowl in the tray in his hands, and scrutinized it carefully.
This originally belongs to the cover bowl of powder porcelain, the outer wall of pastel lotus petals for four layers, and other dynasties of three layers of lotus petals is a little different, the bowl inside the white glaze, decorated with gold along the mouth, the outer wall of the decoration will be decorated into the bowl of the lotus shape, painted from top to bottom of the lotus stamen, the four layers of lotus petal pattern, the foot painted as a lotus handle.
The whole piece of artifacts color delicate, unique shape, plus the Xianfeng dynasty from now there are one or two hundred years, if the object is true, can be passed down in pairs, is not easy thing.
Zhuang Rui on the Qing porcelain research is relatively small, only by eyesight really can not pick any faults, when the eyes from a trace of aura, wandering around in this porcelain, the eyebrows can not help but slightly picked a little, with the rest of the eyes skimmed the side of Li Li Dali.
Dare to say that this buddy is going to carry out the fake to the end ah? Originally feel good pastel lotus bowl in the aura immediately became invisible, or a piece of fake.
This result makes Zhuang Rui a little depressed, dare not have the eyes of the aura, their level of appreciation is really not on the stage ah?
See Zhuang Rui put down the pastel lotus pattern bowl, Li boss immediately came over, make a look and Zhuang Rui is not familiar with, said: “Zhuang teacher, this object is good, right? Xianfeng official kiln porcelain, the market is not often seen ah!”
Li Dali is not stupid, this child, is because of Zhuang Rui and do up, of course he wants to take full advantage of Zhuang Rui this expert identity, to make a fortune.
“Well, Xianfeng dynasty porcelain is rare, and after so many years, can keep a pair down, is also rare, if it is the real thing, on the auction of the reserve price at least have to be in more than half a million.”
Zhuang Rui heard the meaning of Li Dali, if this is a different occasion, he will not open his mouth to say the above words. But now most of the people gathered here are amateur collectors, even if they buy back is used to fight for wealth.
Although the existence of these people has prospered the antique market, but also brought many unfavorable factors for the development of the art market, so Zhuang Rui doesn’t mind letting them shed some blood.
Words again back, Zhuang Rui this also hides the baggage, in front of the base price of half a million, marked must be genuine, in order to be worth that price, and Zhuang Rui since the beginning, also did not say that this pastel lotus pattern bowl is genuine and so on.
“Old Liu, this time you can’t argue with me again.”
“By what right ah! You can buy, I can not buy it?”
“A little look, back to listen to the bottom auction price, Mr. Zhuang are optimistic about this object ah!”
“Yes! Qing dynasty porcelain to Kang Qian mostly, this Xianfeng year is unique, there is a collection of investment value.”
After hearing the words of the crowd, the crowd gathered around the exhibition table, have whispered.
This black market auction is different from the past, did not receive an invitation letter is not allowed to enter, many bosses have not been able to bring their own special appraiser, object authenticity rely on their own thinking, so Zhuang Rui’s words, so many collectors have a bit of bottom in their hearts.
“Jin old brother, have you looked good?” Zhuang Rui put the lotus pattern bowl back, looked to fat man Jin.
“It is impossible to say, look at the glaze color pulp and the style of the object, it should be the Qing Xianfeng, but history has not come out of this kind of stylized object, I can’t say.”
Fatty Jin said more objective, gave an ambiguous answer, but this is enough to make Li boss overjoyed, as long as the experts do not say it is fake, that will be designated to bid.
“Is that porcelain real or fake?”
After Zhuang Rui returned to his seat, Officer Miao opened his mouth once in a rare moment.
Zhuang Rui looked around, no one noticed him, opened his mouth and gestured a mouth shape and said, “Fake.”
“What a treacherous businessman.” Officer Miao skimmed his mouth.
“Che, if it was real wouldn’t it leave you guys with a mouthful?”
Zhuang Rui was very unimpressed with Officer Miao’s words, fake is called artifacts, a willingness to fight, that is, the police can’t control it, but if it’s true, then it’s a violation of the law.
“Alright, the exchange price for this extremely rare pair of pastel colored lotus pattern bowls, is one hundred thousand RMB, interested friends can bid now.”
After about ten more minutes, and after some bosses who thought they had some attainments in ceramics also went up to have a look, the auction of this pair of pastel-colored bowls started under the auspices of Li Dali.
But a little out of Boss Li’s expectation is that within a minute or so after he shouted out the reserve price, there was actually no one to call for the price.
“I’ll bid one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”
A rather faceless boss sitting in front of Zhuang Rui opened his mouth to break the silence in the arena.
“Two hundred thousand.”
Some people take the lead, immediately with the price shouted up, in the eyes of the country, not to be scrambled for and sold cheap stuff, that are not good things, the more people grab, that can only explain the preciousness of its objects.
“Old Yu, is this object reliable?” A voice rang out from the front row.
“I look okay, the glaze color is bright, and the pulp is very thick, like an object of years.”
The Yu boss who shouted out 200,000 replied, with a look of confidence, hearing Zhuang Rui sitting behind him was speechless.
This antique line, not afraid of people who do not know, do not know he did not dare to bid, is afraid of these levels are not good, but also know something of the players, this type of talent is the main force of the antique market, of course, a different name called the wrongdoer also into.
Eventually the pair of pink lotus bowl, was in the boss to sixty-eight million price to buy away, the buddy also proudly boasted called out an auspicious number it!
Just this buddy does not know, he has been Mr. Zhuang included in the category of people stupid money.
Next auctioned a painting of qi baishi and a so-called han jade, the price is not expensive, Li boss on the stage is full of joy is full of blossoms, today this auction is not bad, is already a small five million into the account.
After auctioning out four or five things, Li vigorously coughed and said: “Well, the following object to be exchanged, is from an ancient kiln site in Magnetism unearthed Song Dynasty porcelain, after the identification of Ji Province’s famous cultural relics appraisal expert Mr. Xue’s appraisal, this should be the Song Dynasty tribute to the palace of the official kiln porcelain.”
“Mr. Li, whether or not there is an official kiln in this Magnetic State, but it is something that has yet to be proven out!” Before Li Dali’s words fell, he was interrupted by a person on the stage.
“That’s right, but it is undeniable that from the broken porcelain unearthed in the past, we can see the palace’s signature, which indicates that there is still an official kiln in Magizhou kiln exists, just not unearthed. But all of this in today, will become history, because these two pieces of magnetism kiln ware, after expert identification, and magnetism kiln once unearthed broken porcelain of the official kiln is the same, basically can be concluded for magnetism official kiln porcelain.”
Li vigorously waved his hand, the two pieces of porcelain that came from Zhuang Rui, was held on top of the table, immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience. The several suited Japanese guests sitting in the front row who had never made a bid before also had a look of concentration on their faces.
