Chapter 85

When the four came in, there were not many people inside, but they still chose a position that was not in the front. In Zhao Qirui's words, it was better to be moderate in this kind of place.

There is no doubt that the treatment of the auction in the evening is better than that in the afternoon. Whenever a person comes in, there are waiters to prepare water, melons and fruits for them. They don't need to take water with them like they do in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Ma Touzi introduced to Chu Chen the rules of the auction. Everything else is the same, but there is no saying about the auction. Moreover, the price increase of the items at auction must be in tens of thousands.

When Chu Chen heard this, he was surprised and said, "if you can see that it's a fake, can't you sell it?"

Ma Tu Zi said with a smile: "well, there's no way. The price of things here is lower than that of normal auctions, and they can't earn a few money even if the cost is removed. So they always need some subsidies. Otherwise, other people are not stupid. Chu Shao, do you think so?"

Chu Chen thought about it, but he always felt that he was wronged.

Next, more and more people came, but there were faces that I didn't see in the afternoon. When I saw two of them nodding with Zhao Qirui, Chu Chen knew that these should be either dignitaries or old customers. But Chu Chen also found that even if they knew each other, few of them were sitting together.

After a while, people almost arrived. Chu Chen thought that Yu Guangjie (Chu Chen asked a Chao his name before) might have something to do and would not come.

But just thinking of this, Yu Guangjie and Qian Changxing came in together. When they saw Chu Chen's four, they also laughed at them. However, Chu Chen always felt that there was a trace of schadenfreude in their smile.

Zhao Qirui also had a good self-discipline. He even nodded to them with a smile. When they got to their seats, Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "we are losing, but we have to put them together when we have a chance."

Speaking of the end, Chu Chen obviously felt a trace of anger in his tone.

Five minutes later, it is estimated that the customers are almost there, and the door is locked. Then the auctioneer came in, but the auctioneer was not the charming woman in the afternoon, but a middle-aged man with a magnetic voice.

After the auctioneer came on stage, the indoor lights fell down, and the indoor projector was also turned on.

The auctioneer was not polite, so he said, "all the customers who come here are old customers. I don't say much. The first thing is a pair of rhinoceros plates."

When the auctioneer spoke, two guests came out of the small door on one side, and then put the pair of plates on the table on the stage. Then the projector also showed pictures of two things, and a pair of exquisite rectangular plates came into everyone's eyes.

Zhao Qirui asked Chu Chen with great interest: "little Chu, what about these things?"

Rhinoceros carving, also known as cloud carving, is painted in red, black or more colors on the fetal bone until it reaches a certain thickness, and then the patterns are obliquely carved out, so different color layers are exposed on the section of the knife edge. Because the cross-section of the knife edge shows different colors of lacquer layers, which are very similar to the texture effect of layers around the cross section of rhinoceros horn, it is named "tixi".

There is such a description of tixi in xiushilu written by Huang Cheng of Ming Dynasty: "tixi has a vermilion face, a black face and a transparent purple face. Or between black lines, or between red black belt, or carved Fu and other overlay, or three color change. His writings are all sparsely engraved with sword rings, tapering rings, double rings, and palindromes. "

Tixi is a kind of carved lacquer, which has a unique style in ancient lacquer decoration. Tixi lacquer was first found in Song Dynasty. Mr. Wang Shixiang once said: "the shaping of tixi may have been in the Song Dynasty. Their shapes and patterns are very similar to those of the silver wares of the Song Dynasty. "

Rhinoceros carving is one of the best lacquerware, and a luxury of noble family. Among the handed down products, there are few such as morning star, which is very rare.

"The photos of this pair of long square plates are very exquisite. Moreover, the products used to be used by nobles before, and they are also in line with your identity, brother Zhao. However, I may not be very accurate in identifying the rhinoceros."

Although Chu Chen had powers to help him, it was easy to judge the age, but he did only read some materials about the rhinoceros products, and there was little research on the real objects, so the details would not be in place, so he said it directly, and it seemed more real. After all, no one would be proficient in all aspects of antiques.

After hearing the speech, Zhao Qirui was stunned. Then he thought of the problem and said with a smile, "that's right, otherwise you are really a monster. But it doesn't matter. Go up and have a try first."

After Chu Chen came to power, he directly used his powers. This is the first time he used his powers today. Because there were so many things at the auction, he had decided to use the powers as much as he could, but he didn't expect to auction those things in the afternoon, and the two things he identified could be seen by his eyesight.

Now Chu Chen, judging time by his eyesight, is most sure of porcelain and jade, and his main energy is also on these two aspects for the time being. However, he will also see other aspects of knowledge, no way, who told him to have the ability to never forget.Of course, this will certainly help him a lot in his study of antique identification. Just like now, although Chu Chen has never been exposed to rhinoceros picking products, his learning speed is undoubtedly much faster when compared with the data in his memory and the judgment of the results by his powers.

The two long square plates, about 3.18 cm in length and 14 cm in width, are covered with black lacquer and carved with Ruyi patterns, revealing several layers of red lacquer sandwiched in black lacquer. The Ruyi pattern is curly and symmetrical, the paint color is steady and pure, the knife work is tactful and smooth, and the broken pattern at the bottom of the plate is fine and natural.

From the point of view of the craftsmanship, these two rectangular plates are almost the same, and from several characteristics, they should be made by the same person, which are the standard appearance of Ming Dynasty lacquerware, and the powers also confirm that these two rectangular plates are the works of the middle Ming Dynasty.

After returning to his seat, Chu Chen said softly, "it should be a pair of rhinoceros works in the middle of Ming Dynasty. It's very open."

However, although Chu Chen said it was from the Ming Dynasty, he shook his head. Of course, he did it for others.

The reason why he is cautious now is that the sight here is better than that in the afternoon, and other people can easily notice his actions. Second, the auction is after all a place of intrigue, not only to guard against other people, but also Yu Guangjie. They are eyeing each other. In order to avoid things in the afternoon, it's better to be cautious.

"Really?"

"I can't read this work wrong. If you don't mind, brother Zhao, I'll buy it if it's not right." Chu Chen said confidently.

Zhao Qirui sincerely said: "Xiao Chu, you don't have to do this. Although we don't cooperate many times, I can see that when you identify, you won't easily come to a conclusion. I believe what you say."

"Thanks for brother Zhao's trust, but I still want to say that if something I identified is wrong, you can come to me and I can compensate you for all your losses."

Chu Chen solemnly said the guarantee, after all, the cooperation between the two is not many times, he said so also in order to dispel some of Zhao Qirui's doubts, as for saying that Zhao Qirui fully believes in him, which he does not want, but he believes that with his ability, Zhao Qirui will admire him in his heart sooner or later.

After hearing the speech, Zhao Qirui said happily: "Xiao Chu, don't be so serious, but I still like your character. It's really reassuring."

When the auctioneer saw that no one came to the stage to check again, he said, "the starting price is 10000. Let's start bidding."

"30000"

"50000"

I didn't expect that many people like it. After a while, someone offered 120000 yuan.

"150000" Yu Guangjie also began to bid.

After the price came out, there was silence around. This price should be everyone's psychological price.

Originally, Chu Chen thought that Zhao Qirui would not bid. Unexpectedly, he quoted 160000 yuan before the auctioneer finished bidding.

Maybe Yu Guangjie thinks that he's on the safe side, but he didn't expect that there was an offer, which made him a little stunned. So he looked back at Zhao Qirui, but saw Zhao Qirui smile to him. This smile seemed to have a different meaning to him.

Yu Guangjie smiles a little unnaturally, then turns back and frowns for a while, but Chu Chen gives up the offer unexpectedly, which is different from his aggressive attitude in the afternoon

Zhao Qirui excitedly observes the long square plate in his hand. As soon as the two pieces arrive in his hand, he feels that the two pieces are unusual. There's an old saying in the antique trade that you can talk about good things. Fake things, inferior things, can imitate color, can imitate appearance, but can't imitate the charm.

This pair of tixi works is full of verve, and imitations can't do this. It's really something that opens the door to the world, as Chu Chen said.

Chu Chen sees him so happy, in the heart also guess, not only because this pair of things is good, more likely is he small from Yu Guangjie there pull back a game.

Next, the speed of the auction was very fast. Twenty or thirty things came on stage, some of which were real or fake. Of course, Chu Chen basically didn't know how to use these things. He only had two pieces of porcelain. He could see from the photos that they were all fakes, so he knew that there should be more than two fakes in them.

But whether it's true or not, because the rules of the auction have been taken. But Chu Chen also guesses that there should be more true than false. After all, the buyers on the spot are rich or expensive. If they make public anger, they should not mix up in the capital.
