Chu Chen's mood at this time is undoubtedly very nervous. In fact, according to his meaning, when Yu Guangjie raised the price to 3.9 million yuan, it was OK. But Zhao Qirui wanted to avenge the afternoon, but he avenged 4.3 million yuan.
What he's worried about now is what to do if yu Guangjie doesn't answer? If he doesn't take it, it will be a big loss. It's a small matter to get money, but it's a little hard to face. Moreover, it's also his idea. He always has to be responsible for it.
Yu Guangjie wanted to let it go, but when he saw Zhao Qirui's smiling face, his heart suddenly burst into flames.
In fact, he hated Zhao Qirui very much in his heart. At the beginning, his parents were about to make a marriage for him, but he was destroyed by Zhao Qirui. Whenever he thought that the beauty had gone away from him, his heart was always aching, which made him worry all the time.
However, Yu Guangjie does not dare to do anything to Zhao Qirui. Who calls Zhao Qirui a strong man with a much bigger background? However, at the auction this afternoon, Zhao Qirui accidentally gave him a show, which made him feel that it was really wonderful.
"This gentleman has offered 4.3 million yuan. If not, then..."
"Wait, I'll give you four million four hundred thousand!"
Yu Guangjie still feels that at this critical moment he has given in and lost face. However, he is still ambivalent in his mind. He thinks that if Zhao Qirui continues to make an offer, he will not lose the ability to bid in a short time, and he also thinks that he can buy the painting. This is also a capital to show off to Zhao Qirui.
In fact, Zhao Qirui originally wanted to increase the price, but after all, this is a black market for antiques. If it's an official auction, he really wants to have a good time again.
The auctioneer asked two questions according to the rules and announced the deal soon. Seeing this, Chu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, until now, he found that his forehead had exuded a little sweat.
"Please pay attention to the following items. I hope you don't miss them." The auctioneer reminded with a smile.
In this way, the interest of the buyers on the scene was raised again. Just now it was a work by Shen Zhou. Now what treasures are on the stage?
This time, it should be a pair of things. I saw two etiquette ladies, one with elegant posture, holding a brocade box on the stage, put the brocade box on the table, and then both opened it. They carefully took out the things inside and put them on the table. A pair of exquisite and unusual flower pattern bowls were displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
"A pair of enamel flower bowl in Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty!"
Looking at the pictures projected on the wall, Zhao Qirui seemed to be attracted. He murmured, "it's really a good thing. This time, it must be the real thing!"
"It's really a good thing. I think this pair of enamel should be real now. The organizers can't always bring the wrong things, especially the expensive ones." Chuchen said with a smile.
Zhao Qirui also smile, said: "they this group of people really can't say, but still hope it's genuine, if it's genuine, I'm sure to take them down, the next please Xiaochu you."
Chu Chen nodded and went to the stage.
Chu Chen first looked at the style of the bowls. He saw that the bowls were made of "Yongzheng year system" blue materials, and the font was imitated song style. From the way and method of writing, we can see that the bowls, at least in this respect, should be the works of this dynasty.
Chu Chen seized the time to observe the other features, the bowls are open, curved belly, circle foot. It is smooth in the vessel, round at the end of the foot, regular in shape, fine and dense in fetal quality, and well proportioned in fetal body. Transparent glaze is applied inside and at the bottom of the device, the glaze surface is moistened and even, and the white is slightly shiny green. The embryo glaze also conforms to the characteristics of Yongzheng period.
The outer wall of the bowl is painted with enamel. One side is painted with rose, sweet scented osmanthus, poppy, chrysanthemum, Begonia and other blooming flowers. The flowers are bright, the branches and leaves are green and delicate, the trees are vigorous, the stones are exquisite, the patterns are exquisite, and the lines are natural and smooth.
On the other side, five character poems are inscribed with ink and color, and three seal characters Zhu wenxianzhang are engraved. The five character poems and Xianzhang on the two bowls are also different. Because the enamel bowls are made of gongstroke, although the themes are the same, there are still some subtle differences. Of course, from the stroke strength, we can see that the bowls should be made by the same painter.
From the characteristics of pigments, painters and patterns, Chu Chen can conclude that these enamel flower bowls are indeed works of Yongzheng period. However, this bowl is of high value after all, he still used the power, and the power also confirmed his judgment.
Enamel was created in the late years of Kangxi and flourished in the years of Yongzheng and Qianlong.
During the Yongzheng period, the enamel color was relatively mature, with breakthroughs in technology and more abundant color materials. Most of the enamel colors were painted on the white ground, and the flower patterns on the bowl belly were based on the style of calligraphy and painting of the Song Dynasty. They were realistic and vivid, which was quite different from the painting style of the flowers with big branches and leaves on the enamel ware of Kangxi.
This pair of bowls is a famous product of Yongzheng enamel porcelain, which integrates poetry, calligraphy and painting. Even if it's a single bowl, it's much more precious than the one Chu Chen got in the Qianlong period.
Seeing such a beautiful enamel bowl, Chu Chen certainly wanted to watch it carefully, but the auctioneer next to him politely reminded him, "boss, time is up."Chu Chen frowned. There is one thing wrong with the black market of antiques, that is, the identification time for each person is too short, only three minutes. However, there is a reason to save time, and the bigger reason is that with less time, it is definitely impossible to identify better, so that the organizers can fish in muddy water.
Like Shen Zhou's work just now, although Qian Changxing's character is not good, his eyesight is still very good after listening to Uncle Wu. If not for the lack of time, he can find some problems.
"How's it going?"
After Chu Chen returned to his seat, Zhao Qirui couldn't wait to ask.
"It's all genuine, and it's in good condition."
When Zhao Qirui heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "that's good. Today, we finally have a real harvest."
Time is almost up, the auctioneer on the stage said: "boss, due to some special reasons, this pair of bowls starts at one million. Now, please start quoting!"
Although the starting price of one million makes the bottom a bit of an uproar, for those who like it, this is not affected. Moreover, in terms of appearance, if it is genuine, one hundred thousand is not enough.
"A million!" As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, someone called out the offer.
"1.5 million!" A fat man who seems to have a lot of money added 500000 yuan directly.
As soon as the price came out, there was some silence on the scene. After all, the time for identification was too short, and it was really hard to say whether it was true or not. If it was true, the price was needless to say. It must have earned money, but what if it was false?
"Brother Zhao, don't you offer?" Chuchen some strange asked, just saw Zhao Qirui Mingming to this pair of bowls like very much, how for a while, can't you change your mind?
Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, the auction price, the most anxious, and bidding more people, it is easy to raise the price too high, and the price did not reach a certain point, is also in vain."
Chu Chen nodded his head after hearing the speech. It's really reasonable to say that when there are many people and the atmosphere is high, it's easy to make people not calm down.
The price of 1.5 million made many people retreat one after another. Then, together with the fat man, only four of them bid there, and the increase was not high, only 50000. When the fat man's offer reached 1.9 million, the scene suddenly turned cold.
"One hundred and ninety thousand!" Zhao Qirui began to work hard.
The price made the fat man tangled. Although he only added 10000 yuan, it also made him wake up from his excitement. After all, the master who brought him can't be 100% sure of the authenticity of the bowls. There are risks, and they are not small.
However, he was not so willing to let him give up bidding, so he offered another price: "1.95 million!"
"1.96 million!" Now at this time, if you really want to shoot the bowl, you must not raise the price too high, which will make others think that the possibility of genuine products is greatly increased, but self defeating, so the best way is to grind it down patiently.
Sure enough, the fat man couldn't support himself any more. He was sweating on his forehead. He bit his teeth and said, "1.97 million!"
Zhao Qirui saw that the rate of price increase of the fat man also dropped. He knew that it was almost over, but he was patient and said leisurely: "1.98 million!"
The price made the fat man lose. He knew in his heart that he couldn't resist the situation any longer. It's better to give up his arms and surrender as soon as possible.
After Zhao Qirui got the enamel flower bowls, he immediately took them out and looked at them carefully. Although the light was dim, he was still in high spirits and said happily, "this is a successful trip"
next, Chu Chen thought there was something good, but he didn't expect it to be a bamboo carving penholder, and it was the second from the bottom of the auction It's a little disappointing.
But think about it. When you come to the black market for the first time, you can't afford to buy nothing, and the last one will be no worse. In that case, let's go up and have a look at this pen holder. If it's good, buy it as a souvenir of the black market.
So he and Zhao Qirui said hello and came to the stage.
This penholder looks fairly good. The mouth and foot are made of wood. The whole body uses the deep technique of sinking the ground. The sabre technique also has certain skills. It should be a work of the late Qing Dynasty, worth about two or three thousand.
But looking at it, Chu Chen suddenly found a detail, which made him have a conjecture. Unfortunately, the power has been used up and can't be verified. Anyway, the price of this thing should not be high. Buy it first.
