Chapter 245 Auction 1
Chapter 245 Auction 1
Although Su Qingtong was a product of the interstellar, he was also a man, and men understood men very well, so he took a few steps forward silently, blocking Song Shiyan's view.
Su Ran held her face up, not worried at all. After all, Su Qingcun was watching next to her. After feeling the gaze away, Su Ran narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.
Su Qingzhen has done a good job, and her salary has been increased!
The auctioneer Luo Li in the audience also began to introduce the first auction product. Su Ran had no intention of listening. After all, the initial items had little value.
After looking at the items on the stand, a pair of jade Buddhas, and listening to the sweet words of the auctioneer Luo Li, he praised the auction items. A pair of two- to three-million-dollar items were just sold to the auction house on the first floor under Luo Li's rhetoric. He won it for 5.96 million.
No wonder many auctioneers like their bosses to come to on-site auctions, because this can better stimulate the emotions between bosses and better increase the value of an item.
It is more convenient than communicating via mobile phone.
Su Ran looked at Luo Li carefully. This mouth was really eloquent. Su Ran even wanted to poach Luo Li, but her thoughts were just thoughts after all.
After poaching someone else's signboard, they shouldn't jump in haste. At present, Su Ran doesn't want to develop a business in the auction house.
Because once interest turns into work, it becomes boring.
After the first item was sold, the second item was auctioned immediately, which was a necklace inlaid with gems. Su Ran raised her eyes. The gems were real, and the customized necklace was also quite beautiful, but Su Ran didn't like it.
Finally, the necklace was taken down by a lady on the first floor, followed by the third piece. The third piece was not very unusual. The earrings made of imperial green were also taken down by someone on the first floor.
Su Ran guessed that the people on the first floor were probably rich, and inviting them to the auction was probably to help sell the first round quickly. The people on the second and third floors must have come for the things behind.
Then came the fourth and fifth auction items, which were all taken by people on the first floor. The first floor was more lively at the moment. After all, they all got the items at the price they wanted, so they were naturally happy.
Su Ran felt a little sleepy looking at the auction items. After all, it was really boring. Su Ran could get these things without much effort, but what made Su Ran stay was for the auction items later.
She didn't believe that there was nothing good in this auction. After all, once the system was exported, there must be good things in it.
The auctioneer looked at the card in his hand and said with a mysterious smile, "The next sixth auction item is a bit interesting. I won't say any more nonsense. Please go to the stage and take a look."
Then she heard everyone gasping, and Su Ran raised her eyes and looked at the table. In just a moment, Su Ran sat up straight.
The auction items on the stage...
(Imaginary, imaginary, imaginary! Don’t bring it into reality!!)
Unless Su Ran was right, this auction item was the snake head among the twelve bronze heads that China had been losing.
Su Ran looked at the bronze statue and her eyes widened.
During the prosperous period of Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty's national power was strong and its craftsmanship was at its peak. This was particularly reflected in the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads in the Yuanmingyuan.
The bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads in Yuanmingyuan was originally part of the fountain outside Haiyan Hall of Yuanmingyuan. It was a red bronze statue made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
In 1860, the Ying Dynasty invaded China and burned the Old Summer Palace, and the bronze statues of animal heads began to be lost overseas.
The body of the bronze zodiac statue is a stone sculpture wearing a robe, and the head is a realistic style. The casting is fine, and the wrinkles, down, and other details on the animal head are clear and lifelike.
The material used to cast the animal head was red copper refined by the Qing Dynasty at that time. It has a deep color on the outside and a polished interior. It has lasted for hundreds of years without rusting, which is a unique feat. According to research, the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals were arranged in a figure-eight shape on both sides of a pool in front of the Haiyan Hall of the Yuanmingyuan. They were known as the "water clock" by the world.
Every day, the twelve zodiac bronze statues will spray water in turn, representing different times of the day. At noon, the twelve statues will spray water at the same time.
The bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads in Yuanmingyuan was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of Yuanmingyuan, a royal garden of the Qing Dynasty. It was cast from red copper during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
In 1860, Eagle Romance and others invaded China and caused the "Burning of the Old Summer Palace" incident. Since then, all the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads were lost. The whereabouts of the twelve bronze heads are unknown, and they began their journey to the ends of the world.
As of 2012, the bronze statues of cow heads, monkey heads, tiger heads, pig heads, and horse heads have returned to China and are collected in the Poly Art Museum.
On April 2013, 4, the Romantic Pinault family announced in BJ that they would donate to China free of charge the bronze rat heads and rabbit heads from the twelve major water paintings of the Yuanmingyuan that were lost overseas.
The rat heads and rabbit heads donated this time are two of the twelve zodiac bronze statues lost in the Old Summer Palace in Kyoto.
At present, eight of the twelve animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals among the twelve major water paintings in the Old Summer Palace have returned to China. Among them, the dragon head is currently well preserved in Taiwan Province, but the whereabouts of the snake, chicken, dog, and sheep heads are unknown.
(The above are all said by Du Niang, please understand if there are any mistakes! They are all fictitious, do not bring them into reality!!)
So Su Ran couldn't help but be surprised when she looked at the snake head on the stage, why it appeared here.
So the system specifically said this auction was because it knew the auction items?
Do you also know that the twelve bronze heads lost to China will be auctioned? Su Ran pursed her lips and said nothing, looking at the stage solemnly.
Then the auctioneer's voice sounded, "As you can see, the sixth auction item on the stage is a statue, which was found by a treasure hunter."
"Subsequently this statue was auctioned with another identical sculpture. All the treasures have been roughly appreciated, so the objects on the stage are most likely the lost snake heads."
"Dear guests, please start the auction. The starting price is 9 million, and each increase in price will not be less than 500,000."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there were calls for bids one after another. Su Ran looked indifferent and looked up at the two objects on the stage.
Pursing her lips, Su Ran said to Su Qingcoffin for a moment, "I won't participate in the auction, but if any foreigner likes it, I can raise the price from it."
Su Ran's eyes were slightly cold. There were people from various countries bidding, but she didn't say anything. Since they wanted fake ones, she would be kind and let the auction house make more money.
That's right.
The two statues on the stage are both fake.
It looked so realistic that even Su Ran was almost deceived. If the system hadn't made a sound in her ear, she would have been deceived. These two things were just fake and very realistic.
But it is not the original after all.
After Su Ran finished speaking, Su Qingcun remained silent. Su Ran completely ignored Song Shiyan who was trying to talk to him.
In the end, his vision was like that of a dog abandoned by its owner, pitiful.
I hope the treasures belonging to our country can be found! The twelve bronze heads are not only handicrafts, but also prove the glorious era at that time! The peak era of craftsmanship!
