Hearing Yu Qing's words, Ni Fei initially did not mind as he impatiently said, "What do you mean by what we want? It's just some broken blue and white porcelain. What I used to smash it for is better than this!"
Even though he said this, since Yu Qing had spoken, Ni Fei still obediently moved forward a bit and looked down at the auction platform. With just a glance, a bright light flashed across Ni Fei's eyes as he subconsciously blurted out, "There really is one!" The Flowing Water Hibiscus picture was indeed created by Baolin! "
"More accurately, it should be that 'Mister'!" Yu Qing narrowed her eyes as she spoke with a deep tone. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"Uncle Yu, I think we should buy this thing first and bring it back to confirm. If that's the case, then the old man can explain whatever we're going to do." After confirming the information, Ni Fei instantly acted as if he was a different person as he spoke with a calm and cold expression.
Yu Qing nodded slightly, "Sure, the limit that Master has given you is still quite high. Buying a piece of gilded enamel blue and white porcelain would still be enough!"
The first item of the second half of the auction was called "Green Flower Elegant Gold Cloud Twisting Twister Incense Furnace". The starting price was 12 million!
When Wang Kun was still introducing the announcement, the people below had already started making calls. First of all, the enamel was the pinnacle of the craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty, although the most expensive was still the Qiulong period enamel. However, when it came to the level of delicacy, it was naturally to the extent that Jia Qing would be better off in the future.
The prevailing view in the market is that the more expensive Qianlong period was influenced by the entire context of the era. From the perspective of art, Jiaqing's is obviously better and the value of his collection is higher. At present, the lowest price of the Qing Dynasty enamel ware in the market is over 30 million.
Baolin had planned to blow up the king, so he took out the best items in the second half. Because of the half an hour break, these merchants gradually calmed down, and their mood was ignited once again in a flash. No matter whose store this was in, it was definitely a treasure of the shop.
The crowd waited for Wang Kun to announce the start of the bidding, and he did as he was told. Without any unnecessary words, he announced the starting bid and then immediately started the bidding. It was simple and crude. As for the bids below, they were even more outrageous. The first person to bid directly raised the price to 20 million.
At this time, even the bidders couldn't bear to watch anymore. From the start of the auction to now, the starting price set by Baolin and Dong Clan Auction House was simply too low. They simply didn't have enough status to buy anything.
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment. He hadn't thought that this enamel weapon would cause such a sensation.
Elder Dong noticed the change in Lin Jing's expression and knew that Lin Jing didn't know much about it. He smiled and said, "The enamel tools are divided into three types, 'Twisting Silk Enamel', 'Shovel Enamel' and 'Painting Enamel'. These three types have been passed on to us from time to time."
As soon as it was introduced, it became popular throughout the country. The ancient artisans and craftsmen quickly transformed to their native state. In just a few short decades, they had lost all of their external characteristics. Furthermore, every dynasty has different characteristics of the times. Since yours is from the Qing dynasty, let's just talk about the dynasty. "
"The Qing Dynasty was rich in enamel and used dozens of glazes. The only common characteristic was that they were not transparent. But no matter how many kinds there are, the most expensive of our enamel is still cloisonné, the color of yours. "
"Let's talk about the patterns on it. This is called Twisting Tree." This device has the advantages of curved branches, complex layout and strong ornamental design. The outline is outlined by two lines, which are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty. Even though it is more rigorous, it does not have a hint of spiritual and free charm to it. "
"Enamel and porcelain were originally two completely different kinds of handicrafts. The most magical thing about your blue and white incense burner was that it could be used together. At least until now, I haven't heard of a second house. "
"The appraiser told me the same day, that if it wasn't for the fact that there isn't any problem with the two materials and the inlay technology was definitely not modern, he would be very suspicious of the authenticity of the object. But in the end, it was determined to be true, and its value was actually incalculable. "
"At least among the batch you took out, it's definitely the most expensive, the best, and the rarest. "You can't accept this, and neither can I. Take it out and let me see who has the guts to do so!"
When Lin Jing heard Old Dong's words, he was shocked. The item was his, so he naturally knew how precious it was. However, he hadn't expected it to be this valuable. Moreover, he had even taken it out for auction as a blue and white porcelain. Now that he thought about it, this was all because his own knowledge reserves were insufficient.
If one wanted to survive in this line of business, the most important thing was indeed to have the ability to see.
Thinking of this, Lin Jing made a decision in his heart. When he returned, he would earnestly study and appraise the information in the system. He could not make the same mistake again in the future.
The bidding price below had already reached forty million, and was still rising rapidly. At this time, Wang Kun suddenly said, "The guest in private room number six has bid one hundred million. Is there anyone else who would like to increase the bid?"
One hundred million!
The moment this price was announced, the entire venue fell into a momentary silence. A hundred million was more than their budget for most of the people present, but something unique like the blue-and-white enamel was luring all of them to desire it.
A moment later, someone finally raised their sign and raised the price to 101 million.
Naturally, the people who were able to enter the VIP lounge were not ordinary people. A few hundred million wasn't much to them, but the people who bid were still looking forward to it. After all, the other party had raised the price by 60 million at once. This was probably the starting price that they could come up with. If they were able to raise the price by just a bit more, it wouldn't be too bad.
Unfortunately, very soon, Wang Kun's bid broke the crowd's fantasies. This was because room number six had bid one hundred and twenty million!
At this point, everyone in the hall understood what was going on. No matter what, they would definitely not be able to get it today. There might be a chance, but no one had the courage to do so at this time.
At this moment, Wang Kun revealed a smile and said, "Looks like this blue and white enamel is indeed a precious item. It actually attracted the favor of two distinguished guests. The fourth VIP room offers one hundred and thirty million!"
Following Wang Kun's words, 130 million appeared on the glass window of private room number 4. This was the unique characteristic of the Dong Clan Auction House. When two or more VIP rooms competed for the same item, their bid was directly displayed on the glass.
The Dong Clan Auction House's best record was that all four of their VIP rooms would be competing for the same item. That was a Bronze Horn Elder, and the final price was 580 million. Although there were only two VIP rooms competing for the incense burner today, the price wasn't low at all.
In private room six, Ni Fei saw the numbers on the glass in the private room diagonally across from him. His expression immediately became gloomy, "Hmph, blind trash. How dare you compete with me! Your brain is being squeezed by a door! Uncle Yu, can you find out who that person is? "
"There's no need to check, it's someone from Eastsea City's family, the Jiang family. Judging from this, if there's no surprise, it should be old lady Jiang!" Before he came here, he already knew that Eastsea City was made up of almost all the powerful families and individuals.
Among them, the most eye-catching one in the literary and entertainment business was Dong Qianxing of the Dong Clan, while the Jiang Clan was the only one left. The auction was held at the Dong Clan Auction House, so according to the rules, Dong Qixing naturally could not participate in the bidding. Otherwise, it would be possible for him to raise the price on purpose.
If he was excluded, then only the Jiang family was left with the possibility, and the power distribution within the Jiang family's structure was relatively simple. The only one who had the right to fork out so much money at once was naturally the Sect Leader, Old Lady Jiang. Yu Qing analyzed the situation quickly and confidently.
Hearing Yu Qing's words, Ni Fei coldly cursed, "That old woman, she's already quite old and doesn't know anything. Don't tell me that she doesn't know that I've taken a fancy to her?"
"Young master, the only people we've talked to since we've arrived in Eastsea City, other than the two families that belong to our own branch family, are the Du Family and Dong Qi. "The Jiang Clan still doesn't know we're here." Yu Qing reminded Ni Fei from the side.
"Then go and tell that old woman who is in private room six. I don't believe that she would dare to argue with me!" Ni Fei narrowed his eyes and said with a domineering and vicious expression.
If it wasn't for Old Lady Jiang arguing with him, he would have taken 140 million. If they continued to fight, it was very likely that the cost would exceed two hundred million.
Although he, Ni Fei, did not lack these two hundred million, he was extremely disgusted by the thought of someone daring to fight him for it. In his eyes, anything that he took a fancy to was his. No one could stand on equal footing with him. As for private room number four, not only did they have to fight with him for it, they had to be on equal footing!
"Young master, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Dong Qianxing was also a member of the square and was also a representative of Eastsea City. "If we are in his auction house and affect the progress of the auction, then the assessment at the end of the year will have an impact on us." Yu Qing did not agree with Ni Fei's suggestion and said indifferently.
"Moreover, we already had a slight gap with him the last time we went to look for Dong Qianxing. If we do this again at the auction, he will have a better opinion of us. This is the East Sea after all, not our home ground. If the old master were to hear that the Ni family did not dare to openly bid against others and was relying on their power to bully others, he would probably be unhappy as well. "
