Riding the wind of rebirth

The inscriptions on the stele were cut and framed in the form of an album, and there were also inscriptions from Bao Xi and Yuan.

Baoxi was a famous master calligrapher and collector in the Qing Dynasty, and Yuan was Yuan Keding.

This rubbing has been passed down from the Ming Dynasty to today. It has been passed down in an orderly and clear manner. Its value is no less than the original stele itself. It is a precious cultural relic.

The fourth cousin now specializes in Wei Bei. With such a gift, you can imagine how happy the old man will be, so Zhou Zhi is bound to get it.

The funny thing is that Qi Lao is sitting next to Zhou Zhi now. Seeing Zhou Zhi taking pictures so enthusiastically, he can't help but laugh: "If I had known, I would have given it to you, and I will look for another lot to deal with Wanqiu."

Fortunately, the value of the inscription is not yet widely known in China. Many people think of it as a "copy" and the original inscription is still there, so they don't think it is very important.

But in ancient times and modern times, the top collectors were the collectors of inscriptions and inscriptions. As long as the collection of inscriptions and inscriptions was mentioned, everyone would be in awe.

Because people who play with inscriptions are all people of very high status and with great knowledge. At the very least, they are masters of calligraphy and literature and history. Among the older generation, all collectors of inscriptions have great admiration for them.

Among modern collectors, there are An Siyuan overseas, Qi Gong, Zhu Jiajin, and Shi Shuqing domestically.

This situation was not changed until modern photocopying and printing became popular. Think about it, even primary school students now have the "Mysterious Tower Stele" for copying. In the eyes of ordinary people, only in terms of functionality, the five How different is the photocopy of Yuan Yiyi's "Mysterious Tower Stele" from the original?
Having said that, there were still many knowledgeable people in the crowd. In the end, everyone had been competing for 75 yuan for the book "Ming Tuo Zhang Raptor Monument" before Zhou Zhi won it.

After Lin Wanqiu finally dropped the hammer to congratulate Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhi realized that there was a slight sweat on his forehead.

It was only then that he smiled at Qi Lao and said, "This is also your favorite thing. If it weren't for supporting the Three Gorges cultural protection cause, I wouldn't have made such a big sacrifice."

"Rules are rules, of course I can't ask for them."

75 is already the highest price ever paid for a monument or inscription in China, but Zhou Zhi still feels it is on the low side: "If it were to be auctioned overseas and the price was not set at this price, Mingzhu would have secretly made a bargain for me."

Qi Lao was a little nervous just now, but now he couldn't help but smile: "When I donated it, I promised not to take it any more. But when you took part in the photo, I thought that this post might still be in the hands of my people in the future, and I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Get up, I’m afraid you can’t take the photo.”

"In terms of my state of mind, I'm still not as free and easy as your cheap master. He just gave girl Wanqiu a check and didn't even come to the auction."

When Zhou Zhi thought about how he was worried about gains and losses when he was selecting the donations for this auction at home, he felt even more ashamed than Qi Lao: "You are all admirable. If you want to say I am ashamed, I am really ashamed."

"Before going out, I spent the whole night selecting at home. I couldn't bear to take out the things with history. In the end, I ended up using things from the Republic of China to the present to deal with Sister Wanqiu."

Qi Lao couldn't help being happy: "You don't have to be so humble. I also participated in the appraisal. Except for the set of twelve zodiac signs from the Li family, you donated the most for this auction."

The next few important items, the dragon and phoenix robes of the Qing Dynasty emperors donated by Feng Cang and Pan Shiya were sold for 70 and 50 respectively; the Qianlong Imperial Doucai Dark Eight Immortals vase donated by the Feng family was sold for 260 million; The three-color zodiac figurines of the Tang Dynasty donated by the family even fetched a price of 600 million.The two pieces of Zhushan Bayou porcelain donated by Zhou Zhi were nothing compared to these important items. The two items together only fetched 8 yuan, which Zhou Zhi exclaimed was a pity.

The only advantage is that this auction has set a "current highest market price" for Zhushan Bayou's porcelain. Next, he can start a special collection of Bayou porcelain at a price lower than the "industry price" of this auction. "Collecting them from cultural relics stores in various places can be regarded as making up for the losses within the embankment.

An important auction often has an important reminder function for industry trends and fashion trends. For example, right now, I heard Lin Wanqiu say in the midst of everyone's excitement: "Everyone here may know what happened in the past two years. A major event in the collecting world is the discovery of the value of 'Jianguo Porcelain'."

"Among the Jianguo porcelains that are likened to 'modern official kilns,' the top ones are a batch of specially produced high-quality porcelains called snow-dot plum blossom porcelain and dot-water peach blossom porcelain, which are known as 'mao porcelain.'"

"However, most of these porcelains are now collected by a mysterious collector, and only a handful of them can be seen on the market."

"Last year, a five-piece set of water-dotted peach blossom porcelain was auctioned on Hong Kong Island for more than 500 million yuan and was collected by the Feng family."

"We are very fortunate to have received a generous donation from a player for this auction, and it was also identified by Mr. Qi and Mr. Wang as the 'most important lot' of this auction. The snow-dot plum blossom with the leader's poems written on it A large soup basin with a lid.”

"This is the only 'mao porcelain' that can be seen on the market with poetry and prose, and it is also the largest one known so far."

"The starting price set by the two elders is 80, so we will start from 80. Now everyone is invited to start bidding."

Feng Cang raised his hand first.

"85, the first-hand price of important auction items increased by 85, now it is 90, 90, Mr. Shi 95, 95, Chairman Lin 100, 100 million! Mr. Jesse's bid made Mao Ci snow on the plum blossom basin The auction price exceeded [-] million..."

After a night of speculation, the market was going crazy. Zhou Zhi discovered that the general premium for the auction items was between 20.00% and [-]%, which was approved by Qi Lao.

But this piece of Mao porcelain is an exception. The reason is that there are no domestic auction records of the same type of porcelain as a reference. The only five-piece set was auctioned on Hong Kong Island, so it cannot be used as a reference for prices in the Mainland.

For relatively precious ancient ceramic works of art, the difference between the current auction prices in Hong Kong Island and the auction prices in the Mainland can be more than ten times. However, due to the special background of this porcelain, as soon as it appeared in the Mainland, there was a higher price difference than in Hong Kong Island. There will be fierce competition.

And Zhou Zhi also discovered a characteristic, that is, the people participating in the auction have changed from traditional collectors to agents of wealthy businessmen.

The financial resources of traditional collectors can only be defeated by the strong strength of these people.

In the blink of an eye, this big pot with a lid hit 200 million or 300 million. Feng Cang looked determined when he raised the sign, without any hesitation.

As the bidding exceeded 400 million, the number of people raising their hands in the venue became noticeably rarer, but every time they raised their hands, it attracted cheers and cheers from the entire venue. (End of chapter)
