109: Unspoken rules in the auction industry "No, this book is very familiar!"

After Lin Li regained his composure, he felt that the book "Medical Lin Gaicuo" was very familiar.But for a while, he couldn't think of its source, so he could only ask Bi Han for advice: "Brother Bi Han, take a look at this ancient Qianlong book of the Qing Dynasty called "Yilin Gaicuo", whether it is still circulated and recorded."

"wait!"

Bi Han was clearly well-prepared. He immediately took out a handheld computer, checked a lot of information, and got the answer: "The author of "Yilin Gaicuo" is the masterpiece of Wang Qingren, a famous doctor in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The Chinese doctor who put forward severe corrections in the medical system, and was praised by Dezhen, a western doctor in the late Qing Dynasty, as a modern Chinese anatomist."

"Anatomist! Ancient anatomist!"

Lin Li knew how "rebellious" it was to conduct anatomy in a feudal society. According to the strong ancient philosophy of "death is the greatest" and "entering the soil is safe", let alone conducting anatomical research, even if it was mentioned, it would be criticized by others. Protest slander, even beating abuse.

"I remember."

Reminded by the data, Bi Han also remembered a data story he had read before, and quickly said: ""Yilin Gaicuo" is a book that has caused endless debate in the medical field for hundreds of years. The book mainly expounds two aspects One is to 'correct mistakes'. Wang Qingren believes that the descriptions of the position, size and weight of the human viscera in ancient Chinese medical books are not accurate. He once observed more than 300 cases of unburied children's corpses in plague-stricken areas , dissected and observed one by one, and drew a large number of viscera diagrams. He believed that many medical books in his previous life were incorrect and needed to be corrected, so the title of the book was "Yi Lin Gaicuo"; the other main content mainly showed his understanding of the human body. A special understanding of qi and blood. He believes that both qi and blood are the source of human life, but at the same time they are also pathogenic factors. Regardless of external infection and internal injury, the damage to the human body is caused by qi and blood rather than viscera. Qi has deficiency and excess: excess It is evil and excess, deficiency is positive deficiency; blood has deficiency and stasis, loss is blood loss, and stasis is stagnation. He believes that blood stasis is caused by deficiency of righteousness and weakness in pushing, so blood stasis syndrome is all deficiency. Therefore, he Advocating the two principles of 'invigorating qi and activating blood' and 'removing blood stasis and activating blood', this is his famous 'blood stasis theory' theory."

"I see!"

Lin Li finally knew why Wang Qingren was able to conduct medical anatomy research smoothly. It turned out that there was such a story.

However, this man is indeed a benchmark in the medical era, and although this book "Yi Lin Gaicuo" embodies the innovative courage of Chinese medicine scientists, there are also some mistakes, but they are also due to the limitations of the times and cannot be changed by humans.

In this way, this book is indeed worth studying, and there may be unexpected discoveries.

Bi Han recalled Lin Li's previous performance, and reminded: "A Li, if it is pure collection, you can join the auction; but if it is for learning, there are a lot of photocopied versions in modern times, so there is no need to buy such expensive learning materials. After all, your money didn’t just come in floods.”

Mr. Xie didn't know the way, but he also joined in persuasion: "Yes, although this "Yilin Gaicuo" is a printed version of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, not the original original, but its value is not something that can be bought for a few thousand yuan. .It’s so well preserved, it’s definitely not a problem to sell it for 2 to 3.”

"Thank you for reminding me!"

If it wasn't for their reminders, Lin Li would really have gone down to the auction and wasted money.

"66! Bidder No. 102 has bid 66!"

The auctioneer was passionately promoting and showing off, intending to stir up the atmosphere of the scene.

Only then did Bi Han come to his senses, and murmured: "It's all 66, the current collectors are really rich!"

Just now they were only focused on searching for information and discussing, and forgot about the auction.But that's good too, this Qing Qianlong copper-bodied cloisonné enamel nine-peach celestial ball vase is not to their liking, and ignoring the past can save a lot of unnecessary thoughts.

Lin Li remembered what Mr. Xie said before, and asked curiously: "Mr. Xie, you said before that you were looking for a treasure that can be used as a fine art building. I don't know if you have someone you like?"

"Yes there is!"

Mr. Xie hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the illustration book, pointed to a dragon robe and said, "I have taken a fancy to it, but I know my own weight, and I'm afraid I won't be able to compete with others."

"Dragon Robe!"

Bi Han looked at Mr. Xie in surprise, he didn't expect his vision to be so unique.

Dragon robes, the status symbolized in Chinese history, are too lofty and detached, and people are amazed and admired when facing them.If a dragon robe suddenly appeared in Jingyi Building, the effect would definitely be sensational, at least it could become the first highlight of Antique Street.

Bi Han then showed his professional ability: "I remember that at an exhibition not long ago, a Qing Shunzhi dragon robe was exhibited. At that time, some experts estimated that its price was 1500 million yuan, because it was famous for its "one-inch kimono". It is the royal artistic feature of silk an inch of gold', and it is also the dragon robe of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, which is well preserved, very precious, and has extremely high historical value."

Mr. Xie originally thought that it would be about 4 or 5 million yuan. If he tried his best, he might be able to win it. At least after winning it, the reputation of Jingyi Building will rise, and the advertising effect will definitely be considerable , Maybe I can get my money back right away.

But if it was 1500 million, it would have completely exceeded Mr. Xie's tolerance.Unless Mr. Xie plans to sell Jingyi Building, he can't take it down.

Lin Li had read a little about dragon robes, and said briefly, "That's not necessarily the case. We have to see what level of dragon robe it is."

Bi Han nodded and said: "The dragon patterns embroidered on the dragon robes are different in each period, and the patterns and positions of the patterns on the dragon robes have fixed regulations."

Lin Li pondered for a while, and said boldly: "The promotional materials only said that it was a dragon robe from the Qing Dynasty, but they didn't say whether it was the emperor's dragon robe or someone else's. I think its weaving technology, pattern and color are a bit abnormal, and it seems that it is not from the Qing Dynasty. style, so I kind of beg to differ.”

Mr. Xie was taken aback.

What Lin Li said meant that Tianguang Auction House was playing sloppy and wanted to play tricks under the lights.

Without waiting for Mr. Xie to think about it, Bi Han said: "A Li read that right, the weaving technique, patterns and colors all have the characteristics of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the main patterns woven, it should be the one used by Baylor and Beizi." The quilt has a royal style, and judging from its weaving technology and pattern characteristics, it should be the product of the famous royal weaving "Jiangning Weaving" in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is one of the most representative varieties of Nanjing brocade."

"Baile, Beizi!"

Mr. Xie couldn't suppress his expression at all, showing a horrified expression.

Although Baylor and Beizi were also nobles in ancient times, they were far behind the emperor.Let alone Mr. Xie, an insider, even if an outsider hears about his true identity, he probably won't pay a high price.

Tianguang Auction House does not introduce the specific historical age and original owner of the auction item, so that those bidders who have not yet understood the mystery mistakenly think it is the dragon robe of the Qing emperor, which arouses fierce competition and greatly increases the price.

This kind of sales method is a common method in the circle. If you are deceived, the hidden benefits will be very objective, so you usually operate with the mentality that if you are deceived, you will count as one.

If it wasn't for Lin Li and Bi Han's words, Mr. Xie might really be tricked into it, and I feel scared after thinking about it.

Mr. Xie finally couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect that even the famous Tianguang Auction House is like this."

Bi Han was quite open to it: "After all, this is an unspoken rule in the industry. No matter how powerful the Tianguang Auction House is, it has to abide by it, unless they dare to challenge the entire auction industry."

Mr. Xie was silent, and Lin Li was also silent.

But because of such stimulation, they also lost their original enthusiasm.

I thought this would be a battle between dragons and tigers, and it would be a memorable prosperity.But the filth hidden under the brilliance defeated Bi Han and Mr. Xie.

Afterwards, Bi Han and Mr. Xie began to restrain themselves, hardly taking any actions, and they didn't even bother to carry out basic research and discussion. They just sat silently and waited for the end of the auction.

But Lin Li didn't waste such a rare opportunity.

As I was reminded in the gallery before, Lin Li lost the identification technique on every auction item while referring to the illustrated book, and naturally there were successes and failures in the result.

After the success, Lin Li has a deeper understanding of the auction items. Occasionally, he feels that the price is good, and he can make a move, and raise the card to embellish the atmosphere; as for the failure, it is even simpler. All the way up.

This kind of activity that can be advanced or retreated made Lin Li feel a little sad, so he didn't want to participate in a few more.

I don't know how long it took, and the auction probably came to an end.

The atmosphere of the scene became more and more heated, and the atmosphere of those collectors also became more and more violent, and some even confronted each other. The representative figure among them was Mr. Ma's business ally, Mr. Li, an overseas Chinese from the United States.

What's interesting is that Nina, who is next to Mr. Li, has actually offered a price several times, and each time the price is very interesting, not very high, but it always embarrasses some people.For example, a palace blue and white bowl from the early Qing Dynasty is worth about 20 yuan. At the end of the competition, there are only two old experts left. Originally, these two old experts had a tacit understanding, and the prices raised were very high. Reasonable, but Nina offered 20 yuan, neither high nor low, which made the two old connoisseurs extremely embarrassed when bidding. Very puzzled.

Naturally, everyone was not so rational. They all thought that Mr. Li and Nina were the gunmen hired by Tianguang Auction House to make things difficult for them.

As a result, the image of Tianguang Auction House has been splashed with ink, and they can't take effective measures, they can only eat Coptis chinensis in silence -- it's hard to tell.

The auctioneer, who tried his best to control the scene, was already sweating profusely and his mouth was dry, but out of professional ethics, he still tried his best to promote it: "The next auction item is a very meaningful antique, please watch it."

After speaking, the beautiful woman in ancient clothes came out holding a sword in both hands.

"Bronze sword?"

Lin Li was surprised to see this.

Because this item was not shown in the illustrated book, Lin Li was caught off guard.However, Lin Li also knew that this was a treasure that Tianguang Auction House planned to use as a gimmick, so he didn't think too much about it, and directly threw an identification technique:

Rusty ancient swordsman bronze sword...
