The Book of Appreciation

The Zhengtong, Jingtai, and Tianshun dynasties in the Ming Dynasty lasted more than 30 years. During this period, the political situation was turbulent, which greatly affected economic production.Judging from the literature records, both official and private kilns were fired during this period.However, there is no official kiln porcelain handed down from generation to generation so far, so it is called "blank period" and "three black generations" in the academic circle.

According to the level of decoration on this piece of porcelain, the person who imitated it is definitely a master among the masters, but since he imitated it, why would he make such a low-level mistake, adding non-existing inscriptions on the bottom and feet?Is it disdain to cheat, or is there another reason?

Wu Di thought about it, and decided to get started and have a look.The crowd near the big blue and white pot slowly dispersed after the old man came to a conclusion, and only a few people stayed when they saw Wu Di wanted to see it.

As soon as he got the big blue and white pot, Wu Di had a feeling that this blue and white pot might be real or fake!Of course, this "false" is for the dynasty marked by its inscription.Because it is neither a modern imitation, nor a product from the Tianshun period as marked on the inscription, but a real big pot of blue and white characters in Yuan Dynasty!

After carefully confirming some details, Wu Di was full of confusion, why is this so?Could it be that someone deliberately changed the inscription, and then returned it to the furnace and refired it?He didn't know if there was anyone who could have such exquisite skills, and he could reburn a finished blue and white piece without any loss, but the current situation is extremely favorable to him. For the price of cabbage, you can have a piece of Yuan blue and white that everyone covets!As for after owning it, whether others think it is true or not, what is he doing?

Thinking of this, he resolutely activated the ability of the Heavenly Book, and sure enough, the reminder from the Heavenly Book verified his judgment,

"Yuan blue and white Eight Immortals Birthday Jar, authentic."

Wu Di deliberately raised the bottle high to reveal the inscription on the bottom of the bottle, then shook his head, and pretended to sigh:

"Fortunately, if it wasn't superfluous to add this kind of consciousness, I don't know how many people would be fooled if it was really used to pretend to be Yuan Qinghua!"

While shaking his head, he returned the big pot, but his heart was full of joy, let's talk, let's pass it on, it's best for everyone in the audience to know that this is a poor imitation, so that they can easily receive it later Got it!

At seven o'clock, the auction officially started, and only a very small number of people were still lingering around the lot. These people either couldn't afford to buy it and seized all the time to appreciate it, or they came here for a certain collection and used the last time to appraise it.Judging from the grade of this auction, I'm afraid most of them are the latter.

The hall gradually became quiet. An old man in a long robe and mandarin jacket walked onto the stage calmly and made a four-way bow to the audience, which aroused warm applause.The old man lowered his hands slightly, and when the scene returned to quiet, he said with a smile:

"Everyone knows the rules, no nonsense, just start."

Shen Ziqi whispered in Wu Di's ear:

"The price will be called later and the price will be raised directly. If there is no special explanation, each price increase will be in units of 1 yuan. There are some auctions with no reserve price, which may be sold at a very low price. You should pay attention to it later. Take a moment. Also, try not to conflict with them on tables [-] and [-], of course, unless they dare to provoke!"

Wu Di nodded his thanks.

At this time, the first mysterious lot had been carried onto the stage by two staff members, and it turned out to be a portable freezer!The old man smiled and said:

"You don't think I'm going to auction this freezer, do you?"

"Won't……"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The old man touched his nose speechlessly and said with a smile:

"Actually, I really want to auction this freezer..."

The crowd was in an uproar, but no one dared to question it, which shows that the old man or the forces behind him have a high prestige in everyone's hearts.

"Okay, let's stop joking with everyone. Now, you can try to guess what is inside here? You guessed right... Even if you guessed right!"

This old man is definitely a master at creating atmosphere, a few small jokes will warm up the venue.For a while, the audience was in chaos, guessing everything, and even shouted "biochemical weapons"!

For a moment, the small hammer in the old man's hand fell heavily,

"Okay, the quiz is over, and the result is that no one guessed it right, now I will reveal the answer!"

The atmosphere in the audience has been fully mobilized, but the old man is still able to control it with ease, which shows his high skill.Su Qifeng saw that Wu Di was in a questioning posture, and said with a smile:

"That's Zhen Zifan, the chief auctioneer of Yincui Building, and he is a master appraiser."

Wu Di nodded. This person has a very strong aura, and he must be a person who is always a promise, so it is no problem to control this small situation.

The staff next to him wore gloves and took out a large lump of ice from the freezer. A white bear's paw was actually frozen in the transparent ice!

There was an exclamation from the audience, white bear paws!

"Four wild polar bear paws, the base price is 20 yuan, the auction starts now!"

"30 million!"

"35 million!"

"38 million!"

In a short while, the price rushed to 70!Almost every table has raised their cards, and even Liu Zhenyue didn't stop until he reached 60.Wu Di shook his head. From this point, we can see the identities of the people participating in the auction. I'm afraid that everyone is either rich or expensive. I'm afraid they are not purely competing for bear's paws, but mostly to satisfy their curiosity.

In the end, the bear's paw was won by a chubby middle-aged man at a sky-high price of 120 million. When the dust settled, the guy jumped up excitedly, ignoring the oily shine on Yuanyuan's face, and rushed to the hall All the people bowed in groups and said:

"My lord Liu Mingchao, the Buddha's Laughter Building is my property. This bear's paw will be available for pre-order from the end of the auction tonight. First come, first served, 32 pieces. I will never increase the price!"

The old man on the stage pointed at the middle-aged man and cursed:

"Little fat man, I will call your old lady later, and dare to use my place to advertise. It's no wonder you won't be punished when you go back later!"

"Haha, the old lady is traveling abroad with her grandson, I'm not afraid of you old man!"

The audience laughed. Zhen Zifan, who presided over the auction, seemed to have nothing to do with such tired guys, so he stopped talking and took advantage of the excitement in the hall to launch the second mysterious collection.

It was really pushed out, I saw the curtain flickering on the stage, a young guy was standing on the desk, holding a big ball in his hands, and was pushed out by a small cart.

"Big sale of living people!"

Someone in the audience shouted loudly, causing everyone to burst into laughter again.

There was a crisp hammer strike,

"Wild white tiger skin from Bangladesh, undamaged, with a base price of 80 yuan, the auction starts now!"

In line with Zhen Zifan's words, the young man raised his hands high, shook lightly, and "brushed" the white tiger skin with a length of more than three meters including the tail, and presented it in front of everyone.The audience was silent, and everyone was stunned by the complete tiger skin.Even if everyone is either rich or expensive, in this era, how many people have seen a real wild tiger skin, let alone the white tiger skin that has only been heard in legends?

After the silence, it was crazy bidding. In just 2 minutes, the price of the white tiger skin was pushed up to 180 million, and the speed of increase slowly slowed down. Wu Di noticed that amidst the continuous bidding, the old man was always able to catch The highest bid, which made Wu Di's guess a little off. I'm afraid that the old man is not a simple cameo, and his auctioneer's level should not be low.

In the end, the white tiger skin was sold at 310 million.Zhen Zifan tapped the hammer lightly and quickly, as if the opening gongs and drums, and when the venue quieted down, he announced loudly:

"The appetizer was eaten by gluttons! Be careful that your stomach can't hold the dinner! Now, I announce that tonight's auction has officially started! The first lot, a blue-glazed plum vase with a white dragon pattern! The reserve price is 100 million!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience.As the exquisite plum vase was placed on the stage, there were noisy discussions in the hall.There is a lot of controversy about this lot, but when it comes to authenticity,

Out of 100 people, only 99 people will think it is fake, and the remaining one will never buy it.

In fact, a lot of information can be seen from the reserve price of a lot. Not to mention that Zhen Zifan did not add a dynasty in front of the plum vase, but the reserve price of 100 million prevents most people from actually participating in the auction.

"100 million!"

Amidst the discussions in the room, Wu Di took the lead in quoting and sparking the flames of war.The price of plum bottles rose rapidly, 200 million, 300 million, and temporarily stopped at 500 million.

Wu Di looked around and raised the sign again, 510 million!

At this time, an old voice came from the back row,

"1000 million!"

"100 million!"

Wu Di followed closely.

"500 million!"

The old man jumped up the price every time.

"600 million!"

"2000 million!"

When the two were fighting for 3000 million, table No. [-] suddenly raised a card,

"5000 million!"
