golden escape

The high price of 2000 million did not scare off the group of islanders. They frowned and thought, not hesitating, but thinking about what rare antiques they could get.

If this three-legged Golden Crow jade pendant was just average, then they would never be so fanatical, but the key point is that the three-legged Golden Crow formed by this piece of Loulan desert jade is lifelike, and the translucent jade is as red as red. The color is as beautiful as flames, and there is also the naturally formed auspicious cloud back pattern with a mysterious atmosphere.

All of these make this three-legged Golden Crow Jade Pendant no longer ordinary, but a majestic, mysterious existence that people can look up to.

As the auctioneer above said, this is no longer a jade pendant, but an honor, which can only belong to one person.

They don't lack Chinese antiques, they can be said to be dispensable, and these antiques will not bring them a strong reputation. This jade pendant is different. The three-legged Golden Crow, which appears like an envoy from Amaterasu, will definitely be able to The fame of the person who got this jade pendant was promoted to a terrifying status.

Regardless of honor, the quality of this piece of Loulan desert jade is enough to reach the current price, but if it is about honor, they no longer care about the gain or loss of the price, they just want to get it.

Immediately afterwards, two bamboo paintings by Zheng Banqiao were appraised at 800 million yuan each, and the islander brought out other antiques with a total value of 500 million yuan. **.

The appearance of many Chinese antiques has also feasted the eyes of these small island country experts. They may not be very proficient in some aspects of their own country's cultural relics, but they are very familiar with Chinese cultural relics.

There is such a sentence that fully explains the current situation. If you want to study Chinese history, please go to a small island country, just because the small island country preserves a large number of ancient Chinese buildings, as well as cultural relics and ancient books. The number is so large that it is difficult to count.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China experienced several wars of losing power and humiliating the country. The impression of the outside world is that the main places where Chinese cultural relics were lost were in Europe and the United States.

In fact, this is not the case in reality. The largest loss of Chinese cultural relics overseas is in a small island country far away from China.

During the war of aggression against China, the small island country specially organized a huge cultural relic search team to bring all the precious cultural relics found back to the small island country, and smashed them on the spot if they could not be brought back.

There are more than 200 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics in the museums of the small island country, among which the number lost in the hands of the people of the small island country is probably no less than this number.

Gradually, the value of the antiques that these small islanders participated in the auction reached as high as 3000 million. Buying a jade pendant for 3000 million is simply unthinkable for ordinary people.

Even if you go to buy the top grade jadeite, glass jadeite, you can still buy several times the size of this jade pendant.

Up to now, all the people of the small island nation are hesitating, and the price increase has become slow. It seems that they are thinking whether it is worthwhile to exchange such a valuable antique for an honor.

The islanders are the most psychologically complex and changeable people in the world. After they make a decision, they will change their decision regardless of the ridicule of others. Look at the island disputes with China over the years. , they will immediately soften down.

It will not be such a difficult decision for them to abandon this auction.

"Xiao You, what price do you think this jade pendant will reach in the end? The estimated value of these antiques is far lower than the real price." Dong Qilin said with a peaceful smile, his admiration for Fang You in his heart cannot be expressed in words , He is very grateful for his original decision, and only by following Fang You can he realize his dream and see so many precious antiques and various miracles.

Fang You, who was closing his eyes and resting his mind, smiled slightly, and slowly opened his eyes, "Brother Dong, I don't know what price will be reached, but now, this price will not be final, nor will it satisfy me. I will not soften my heart at all for the things that belong to us in the hands of the islanders.”

"Brother Dong, tell the auctioneer that I am not satisfied with the current price. If so, I will only bring the jade pendant back to Huaxia for auction." Then, Fang You said calmly.

Dong Qilin nodded, and told the auctioneer what Fang You said just now through the headset. After seeing so many exquisite Chinese cultural relics, they had no scruples to bid for them. His heart was also very heavy. Naturally, these The small islanders didn't like it.

As Tong Fangyou said, how can you be soft-hearted when you take back what belongs to you from these people. The current situation is that they are not afraid that these people from the small island nation will not participate in the auction. Travel auction house, as the treasure of town shop, can still cause a sensation.

The auctioneer nodded slightly towards Dong Qilin's position, and then said solemnly: "Everyone, your current price cannot satisfy the owner of the jade pendant. When no one bids, he will announce that the transaction has failed, and this jade pendant will also be sold." It will be brought back to China. Perhaps at the auction in China, the transaction price of this divine bird, which symbolizes the messenger of Amaterasu, the small island country, may far exceed the price you offered. Okay, my friend The three pieces of antiques are estimated at 3000 million, and there are friends who have not bid, if not..."

The words of the auctioneer can't help but plunge the scene into commotion. The people of the small island nation are undoubtedly a race with strong self-esteem. They worship the spirit of bushido. After making irreversible mistakes, they will choose to commit seppuku Save the last bit of dignity for yourself.

Now, if this jade pendant, which most people call the messenger of Amaterasu, is brought back to China in front of people like myself, then how will these incompetent people face the many people of the small island country in the future? If someone found out about it and participated in the auction by himself, but failed to keep the envoy of Amaterasu in the small island country, what awaited them would be a wordless ridicule.

"I'm offering a piece of calligraphy by Mi Fu, one of the four Chinese and Song masters." Before the auctioneer finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a small island wearing a simple robe held up his number plate, His face was full of anger, he must take a photo of this jade pendant, and let that Chinese person see that the honor of their small island nation is inviolable.

Immediately, several experts were shocked to study the materials and pictures brought up by the middle-aged man. Mi Fu was one of the four great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, and the other three were Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, and Cai Xiang.

Mi Fu's calligraphy is listed after Su and Huang, the four masters of the Song Dynasty, but regardless of Su Dongpo's status as the Wenzong of the generation and Huang Tingjian's influence as the leader of the Jiangxi Poetry School, as far as calligraphy is concerned, Mi Fu's traditional skills are the most profound.

Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty said, "I commented on Mi characters, and thought that the Song Dynasty was the first, after all, it came from Dongpo." This shows the profound power of Mi Fu's calligraphy.

He has a weird personality, crazy behavior, loves mountains and rocks, and often calls him "brother" when he encounters rocks, so he has another name, Mi Dian.

Fang You came quietly behind President Yamada, leaned over to look at the table, he had a good impression of Mi Fu, his eclectic character, he didn't care about other people's eyes, and he worshiped Shi as his brother, which really made him There is the feeling of meeting a confidant.

The first time I met Mi Fu was when he discovered the Jinxing Long inkstone. There were characters on this side of the Jinxing Long inkstone. In addition to Mi Fu’s name and even the name of Su Dongpo, the rest of the writing showed that this Jinxing Long inkstone was their two They named it together, not to mention the magic of Venus shaking when the Jinxing Long inkstone was grinding ink, but the handwriting left by Mi Fu can also make this inkstone an invaluable treasure.

Mi Fu often calls his works Jiguzi, which means that he has a deep understanding of the brushwork, composition and charm of ancient calligraphy masters. His characters are formed by the collection of ancient calligraphy masters.

Although some people take this as a joke, Mi Fu finally established himself as a calligrapher by collecting ancient characters, which can prove his mastery of collecting ancient characters. His characters have many special and special strokes. Imitation of Ouyang Xun... It can be said that before him, the handwriting of several calligraphers in ancient times can be felt from his pen.

Although it is just a picture, Fang You can vaguely feel the extraordinaryness of these fonts from the handwriting. Compared with the cursive script works of one of the three traces of the small island country, it can make people have a sense of beauty. The ups and downs of the handwriting , Jun Kuai flying air, are breathtaking.

In the end, this piece of calligraphy by Mi Fu was priced at 100 million. After the auctioneer's continuous teasing, the second after the price of this calligraphy was announced, it was surpassed by others.

In China's splendid history and culture, there are too many antiques whose value can reach more than tens of millions. All of these antiques are exquisite works, representing the elements of great success in all aspects of China.

The schadenfreude smile on the face of Wubu Secretary Ren deepened a little, 3000 million, continue to add, let you also know that the things bought for tens of millions are fake when you go back, and that kind of feeling can make people go crazy with pain.

"I have a Chinese Song Dynasty..."

"I am out..."

What the auctioneer said just now made them almost crazy. On the one hand, they wanted to get this jade pendant. More importantly, they couldn't let this jade pendant be brought back to China by that Chinese man. A shame, a hundred people, even a jade pendant, can't they keep it?

The price has been rising rapidly from the 3000 million just now, and no one knows where the Huaxia man's satisfactory price is. Even if they know, they can't stop, because they have completely fallen into a dispute at this time. In the battle to grab this jade pendant.

For the honor of the small island nation, they have no scruples.

Takebu Siren smiled. If he used money, he might not be able to mobilize so much money in an instant, but for antiques, their Takebu family could lead the war faction during World War II, and has always supported the emperor and various supplies of the army. Otherwise, after the war, their family would not have owned such a huge enterprise.

During the war, apart from the government of the small island country at that time and several other big families, the Takebu family could be regarded as the one that robbed the most cultural relics. For this reason, they did not hesitate to build several large ships to transport these precious cultural relics.

There is nothing wrong with taking out a few antiques and exchanging them for things, but he won’t be fooled by the above. This is obviously a scam. Although the jade pendant on the top looks real now, the result will be different later on. Well, the woolen stuff I bought didn't all look like they were soaring, but when I bought them back, they were so collapsed that even my own mother almost couldn't recognize them.

The price has reached 5000 million. At this time, some people can no longer take out an antique to participate in the auction. An antique worth 5000 million is undoubtedly an extremely precious object. It can be said that there are not many in the whole world, and it is already a national treasure. level cultural relics.

Most of them took out two to three antiques, and the one person with the most has added ten antiques from the beginning to the present, each worth about 500 million.

This antique is always the focus of attention in any auction, but in this auction, it keeps becoming a stepping stone for others, and even a jade pendant cannot be exchanged for it.

"500 million, does anyone have a higher bid? If no one bids, then I will ask whether the price and the items you offer can satisfy the owner of the jade pendant. If he is not satisfied, this piece The auction item will end in a transaction failure, and this jade pendant will also leave the small island country and return to China..." After reaching 5000 million, everyone's bids slowed down, plus the time it took to appraise the item, The interval between bids reached almost 10 minutes, making the atmosphere at the scene extremely dignified.

The middle-aged man from the small island country who used Mi Fu's calligraphy to bid for the jade pendant had closed his eyes and thought about something. When he heard the auctioneer's words, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in a loud voice: "Except for Mi Fu's calligraphy and Qiu Ying's paintings , I will add a landscape painting of Bada Shanren."

Mi Fu's calligraphy is estimated at 100 million yuan. Qiu Ying's painting is not perfectly preserved, and its estimated value is 800 million. He is determined to fight and must get this jade pendant, the only honor. It belonged to him, Kitano Qinshou.

Fang You turned towards the middle-aged man and took a deep look. From these three precious and rare calligraphy and painting works, it can be seen that this middle-aged man probably mainly collects calligraphy and painting. Objects are difficult to preserve, so it is even more difficult to preserve paper antiques such as calligraphy and painting, let alone these three calligraphy and painting works, which are all extremely precious works.

Mi Fu didn’t say much. Qiu Ying, Tang Bohu, Shen Zhou, and Wen Zhengming are also known as the four masters of the Ming Dynasty. They have profound painting skills and are good at painting figures and landscapes. A few years ago, a fine painting by Qiu Ying, "Red Cliff Map" was auctioned At the meeting, it was sold for 7952 million yuan, setting a world record for the auction of Huaxia paintings at that time.

Bada Shanren, whose real character is Zhu Da, is the descendant of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. When the Ming Dynasty fell, his father died soon after. He was extremely sad and depressed, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb. On his scrolls, one can often see a strange lottery, which looks like a crane-shaped symbol. In fact, this symbol is composed of the four characters "March [-]", and this day is when the Ming Dynasty perished. He used this to express Nostalgia for the homeland.

In painting, he is famous for his large-scale ink and ink freehand brushstrokes, and is good at splashing ink. He is especially famous for his flower-and-bird paintings. Some weird things often appear in his works. He painted birds and fish with a few strokes, or drawn Long body, or curled up, especially the pair of eyes, sometimes oval, not the eyes of fish and birds we see in life, the eyes of fish and birds in life are round, with the eyeball in the center Also won't spin.

Bada Shanren's fish and bird eyeballs can move, and sometimes they will roll their eyes and stare at people. It's just because of his special and complicated life experience that he can't express his feelings directly like ordinary painters. to express his pain.

Bada Shanren's paintings are famous for their small number of objects, and the use of few pens and inks, but every fish, bird, chick, tree, flower, and fruit is not even drawn at all. , and only one seal can form a complete picture, which can be said to be so small that it is indispensable.

The predecessors once said that ink is like gold, and it is said that less is better than more, but only Bada Shanren has really achieved this. His calligraphy and painting works have always been the focus of competition at auctions, but many of them are in the auction. It is treasured in major museums, but rarely in the market.

After careful identification by several experts, the estimated value of this painting of the Eight Great Landscapes is 300 million.

Together with Mi Fu's calligraphy and Qiu Ying's paintings, the total estimated price of these three calligraphy works is 200 million.

"Dear friends, the overall valuation of the three calligraphy and painting works of the gentleman on the 35th is 200 million. Does anyone have a higher bid? The Loulan Moyu, which forms a three-legged golden crow, is definitely unique in the world... 200 million for the first time...sold." Seeing that everyone was just shocked and did not make any moves, the auctioneer seemed to understand that the price had reached the end, and quickly called out the usual three bids, and then directly made a final decision.

In exchange for the three paintings and calligraphy works for a jade pendant with a three-legged golden crow, there is no question of whether it is worth it or not, because this jade pendant represents the honor of their small island country.

"Please wait for a moment, everyone. I will ask the owner of the jade pendant for his opinion to see if he is satisfied with the price and the price of the antique. If he is not satisfied, I will come up and announce the failure of the transaction. Please be mentally prepared." The auctioneer said with a very solemn expression, and then looked in Dong Qilin's direction.

Dong Qilin couldn't help looking at Fang You, "Xiao You, what do you think?"

"Hehe, a piece of jade pendant was exchanged for three precious calligraphy and painting works, that is, the three-legged golden crow appeared on this jade pendant to have such an effect. If it is replaced by a phoenix, I am afraid that it will never be able to reach the current price, just like us Chinese. If you can take pictures for the animal heads of the zodiac without regard to your personal reputation, but refuse to pay, it will satisfy their wishes, I agree, and I really look forward to seeing these three works in real life." Fang You smiled slightly. , nodded.

After getting the exact news, the auctioneer didn't show any emotion on his face, and he still had the extremely dignified look, "Everyone, unfortunately, I want to tell you some news..."

Hearing this sentence, all the people of the small island country couldn't help but clenched their fists. Are they still unable to invite all of Amaterasu to come back, or will they be brought back to their country by the Chinese people, and the things that their small island country regards as honors will be made public? Show it, the middle-aged man sighed and tried his best.

But then, the auctioneer changed his solemnity before, and said with excitement and excitement on his face: "Unfortunately, this three-legged golden crow jade pendant cannot be returned to China. The owner of the jade pendant is very sorry for those three paintings and calligraphy works." I am satisfied, and decided to agree to this transaction, I would like to congratulate Mr. No. 35, who exchanged three paintings and calligraphy for the envoy of Amaterasu, a small island country."

Immediately, unspeakable joy appeared on the faces of all the people on the small island, and they roared and shouted excitedly to vent their suppressed emotions.

Fang You shook his head and smiled, no matter how much he had a sense of honor, he couldn't get rid of the fact that these islanders were bandits.
