Unfortunately, Chu Chen found that the man was a little late, otherwise he would have reminded Qiao Qingtai just now. But now that it's over, he can only remind Qiao Qingtai. Of course, the time must be delayed. Now, let Qiao Qingtai be happy for the time being, so as not to ruin his happiness.
The collection behind this fan has no characteristics, and some fakes are mixed with it, which is also a common means of black market auction, so as to reach the point of fishing in troubled waters. However, these counterfeits are quite realistic, most of them have been sold, but the prices are not high.
it may be that the turnover is not high, the auctioneer has no spirit to introduce things, and the quality of the auction is not high, so the speed of his introduction is also very fast.
“…… The starting price of this pastel character Guanyin bottle is 1000 yuan. If you like it, please bid! "
After that, the auctioneer looked around for a week and found that no one was interested in bidding. In addition, some buyers impatiently asked the auctioneer to finish quickly, so the auctioneer was ready to drop the hammer and sell.
But just then, the auctioneer's eyes lit up and immediately showed a brilliant smile. The speed of changing his expression must be the famous face changing stunt, and that's all. And all this is because Chu Chen raised a price.
The buyer at the scene looked at chuchen strangely, and Qiao Qingtai didn't understand why chuchen suddenly became interested in such things. But no matter what, there was no bid on the spot except Chu Chen.
When Zuoshan pays and takes back the auction, Qiao Qingtai can't wait to see it.
The shape of Guanyin bottle is beautiful, the white glaze is pure and warm, and the pastel color is rich. The body of the bottle is painted with three children holding lanterns. The vividness of their expression is no less than that of the pastel works of the official kilns in the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing the end, Qiao Qingtai nodded with a smile and said, "this Guanyin bottle is very good. Although it costs a little more, it's worth the money. If you collect it well, it won't be long before it will appreciate."
Qiaoqingchen thinks it's just a good thing for qiaoqingchu to spend more than 1000 yuan?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because this bottle is a new Famille Rose Porcelain in the period of the Republic of China.
As the history of ceramics entered the period of the Republic of China, due to the significant changes in social aesthetic concepts, the light crimson color in the late Qing Dynasty was no longer paid attention to, and the defects of technology were increasingly revealed, which led to the rapid decline of the light crimson color, while the pink color returned at an amazing speed.
The early creators were all light crimson color artists. When the light crimson color declined, they returned to pastel technology again. They used pastel as a color material to draw colored porcelain. In order to distinguish it from pastel in Qing Dynasty, they called this kind of porcelain new pastel.
The new pastel porcelain paintings are elegant, vigorous and colorful. The works of many famous artists generally show their skills and their painting skills are also extraordinary.
However, in China's ceramic history, the porcelain of the Republic of China has not been included in it, and the ceramic books and illustrations published in the market rarely describe the porcelain of the Republic of China as a special category.
One of the reasons is that the concept of "the Republic of China" is not easy to grasp; the other is that the cultural relics and collection circles pay far less attention to the porcelain of the Republic of China than they do to the porcelain works of other periods.
However, because the porcelain of the Republic of China was of high quality, its artistic expression was not inferior to that of the previous dynasties. Therefore, many people of insight have quietly put the Republic of China porcelain, which is regarded as a general commodity by ordinary people, into their arms for collection. Coupled with the current collection heat, the fine porcelain of the Republic of China has been quietly warming up in recent years.
However, the price of porcelain in the Republic of China is still relatively low. For example, in 2002, a pair of new famille rose porcelain plates from the period of the Republic of China were auctioned at the Jiade auction, with an estimated price of 800-1200 yuan and a transaction price of 5500 yuan.
This is still in the international auction, and the porcelain plate also has a special commemorative significance. Such new pastel porcelain is only sold at such a price. It's normal for Qiao Qingtai to spend 1000 yuan on a new pastel porcelain on the black market, which makes other buyers feel strange.
Chu Chen nodded with a smile. He didn't explain the reason why he bought this porcelain. Of course, the main reason is that it is related to an important clue. As for the clue, you should guess from the making time of this Guanyin bottle. yes! It's a clue to Zhang huoni's treasure.
In fact, at the beginning, like other people, Chu Chen was not very interested in the Guanyin bottle. However, when he saw the painting style of the Guanyin bottle from a distance, he felt familiar with it.
When he thought of where this familiar feeling came from, he immediately felt that the three children on the bottle, who looked up and laughed in different directions, seemed to have something to do with the bottle he had studied for three days. At this time, the auctioneer was ready to drop the hammer, so he immediately raised his plate and quoted the price.When the bottle was in his hand, Chu Chen carefully observed it and found that it was the most important clue to the treasure, which made him tremble and almost sweat. If he had reacted more slowly just now, the treasure of fireclay would have missed him.
Fortunately, Chu Chen felt lucky that all this did not happen, and with his ability to never forget, he had found the exact location of the treasure through the clues on the bottle. He was so excited that he didn't even notice the end of the auction.
"Little Chu, let's go!"
Qiao Qingtai stood up, patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and said, "I don't know how the organizers will arrange the next place. If we want to go by ourselves, we have to find a place to fill our stomach."
When Chu Chen came back to himself, he found that many buyers in the room had already gone out of the door, and the staff were already dismantling the tools.
Seeing this, he quickly stood up and said, "it seems that we should go by ourselves. Otherwise, no one will tell us."
"Not necessarily." Qiao Qingtai said as he walked: "let's go out and have a look first. By the way, Xiao Zuo, is the receipt given to you by the other party still there just now? "
Zuoshan said, "they're all here. Do you want to use them later?"
"Of course. That's the basis of our deal." Qiao Qingtai said in a low voice: "you give the receipt to Xiao Chu. When you return the round card later, give it to him together. He will give a note with the address of the next auction on it."
"Oh."
Zuoshan nodded. Just now, he wondered why there were receipts for black market transactions. It turned out that they played such a role.
At this time, the three men saw a middle-aged man running to the seat from the outside in a panic, taking out a piece of red paper from an ashtray, and then took a long sigh of relief. This makes people around want to laugh, needless to say, this person should also be the first time to participate in the black market here, do not know the rules here.
Come to the door, Chu Chen as Qiao Qingtai explained, the round card and receipt together to the guard. It may be that the transaction amount is relatively large. Chu Chen feels that when the guard gives him a note, his smile is more brilliant than when he went in before.
And the young man who took them over was even more happy. People like him are informers on the periphery of the black market. They are mainly responsible for finding suitable buyers. Their income is related to the transaction price of buyers on the black market. The higher the price, the more they get.
With such a high turnover as Chu Chen's, the young man's Commission alone is as much as his usual income in a few months. No wonder he is so happy, and his attitude towards them is much more enthusiastic than just now.
The young man drove the car for a certain distance and asked, "several bosses, where are you going in a moment?"
Qiao Qingtai replied, "is that true?"
Seeing what Qiao Qingtai said, the young man took out a big bag of bread from the side and handed it to Chu Chen. With some apology, he said, "then we won't go back now. We'll go to the next place directly. If you feel hungry, you can eat some bread and cover your stomach first."
Chu Chen Wen Yan frowned, the expression is very dissatisfied: "your boss is also too anxious, even the food is not allowed to eat."
The young man said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, but the wind is a little tight these days. Our boss is forced to do so. I hope you can forgive me."
Listening to young people say that, Qiao Qingtai is very nervous. The news about dealing with the boss of the black market is only spread in a limited range now. He actually has got the news. It seems that this man is really powerful.
However, for Qiao Qingtai, his task is to buy the real national treasure. As for the news, he just needs to tell the investigators and let them have a headache.
After listening to the young man's words, Chu Chen suddenly thought of one thing. Since the boss of the black market was so careful, the auction just now should be just a bait, and there should be no problem with the source of the above auction items. Even if something goes wrong and someone finds out, at most only a few bronzes have problems.
Even those bronzes are actually the bait arranged by the black market boss. After all, although bronzes can't be photographed in China, not all bronzes are stolen from tombs. Therefore, even if they don't conform to the regulations, it won't have much impact on the black market boss.
"Maybe I think too much, that person may really just investigate the price yesterday."
But he didn't think that it had much to do with Chu Chen's interests. As for the possible source of Wang Chong's fan, he still needs to remind Qiao Qingtai that if there is a problem, he will not be able to respond well.
