Unparalleled Treasures

Zhong Yishan picked up the Erlong Xizhu carefully, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Everyone, this work of Erlong Xizhu is the first piece that Boss Zhang will exhibit. I can do it for you." Let me give you a little explanation..."

"I don't need to say the meaning of the two dragons playing with the pearl. Everyone knows this. What I want to tell you is that the material used by these two dragons is extremely precious red coral..."

Butterfly is the secretion of coral polyp, which constitutes the supporting structure of the butterfly. It is divided into calcareous coral and horny coral. 【.

Calcareous corals are mainly composed of inorganic components, organic components and water, mainly including red corals, white corals and blue corals, while horny corals are almost entirely composed of organic matter, including golden corals and black corals. The chemical components of corals are mainly Calcium carbonate, which exists in the form of microcrystalline calcite aggregates, has a certain amount of organic matter in its composition, and its shape is mostly dendritic.

Historically, red coral has a close relationship with Buddhism. Buddhists often regard red coral as the incarnation of Buddha. They use red coral as a mascot for offering sacrifices to Buddha, and they are mostly used to make beads or decorate statues. Jewelry gemstones rank fourth among the seven treasures of Buddhism: gold, silver, amber, coral, gemstones, glass, and agate, which shows how precious they are.

"It's just..." Zhong Yishan paused, and then said: "This coral red dragon is from modern times, but the carving is from the masterpieces of modern masters, Mr. Zhou Hannian..."

As soon as Zhong Yishan finished speaking, there was a lot of whispering in the audience. Not many people knew about Zhou Han's name. This had something to do with Zhou Han's usual aloofness.

The people in the back didn't really understand it, but Ye Dongyang, who was sitting in the front, really felt that this Erlong Xizhu was very different from Zhou Han's previous statue of Chang'e Flying to the Moon.

In terms of shape, these two red dragons do not have the strangeness, danger, beauty and softness of the jade carvings of Chang'e flying to the moon, but are more rough, vigorous and unrestrained.

The head of the dragon is high, the eyes are wide open, the beard and beard stand beside the mouth, the reverse scales are like knives, the strength of the five claws can crack stones, and the body of the dragon is winding, straight and flexible, full of vitality.

The vivid red dragon and the crystal-clear luminous pearl form an extremely strong vision, but it is this visual contrast that makes it impossible not to pay attention to the luminous pearl.

Not to mention the exquisite knife skills, Zhou Han's idea is a must.

However, except for Ye Dongyang and others who know the details of Zhang Can, those who know the reputation of Mr. Zhou at this moment all think, who is Zhou Han? The owner of the Zhang's antique shop actually got such a precious thing without making a sound. This Zhang Can really has some background.

Those who didn't know were thinking that when Zhong Yishan mentioned "Zhou Han", he had an incomparable admiration on his face, which seemed to be a bit of hype.

How much is a modern red coral worth?It’s not that everyone doesn’t understand, even if the carving is a little more meticulous, in terms of modern technology, there is a saying, “There is no best, only better” is, even if the red coral is precious, the carving is good. On the previous point, can it compare with the value of that malachite green-glazed blue-and-white plate?

At this time, Zhang Can picked up the teacup and only cared about tasting the tea. Of course, he didn't say a word about what he wanted to show.

Zhong Yishan coughed lightly, and continued: "Maybe some friends don't know much about the works of Mr. Zhou, so let me tell you something..."

Zhong Yishan said to Ye Dongyang, and smiled slightly: "A few days ago, this Mr. Zhang also got a white jade sculpture of Chang'e flying to the moon from Mr. Zhou. A boss had an intention on the spot. You can give it to me." Guess what the boss is willing to pay for it?"

Zhang Can sold Ye Dongyang a pearl, and received 8000 million from Ye Dongyang. When Ye Dongyang saw the statue of Chang'e flying to the moon, he was willing to somersault on the price immediately, although there were also factors of luminous pearls, But Zhou Han's Chang'e flying to the moon is also one of the factors.

This is enough to prove that Mr. Zhou Han's works are by no means comparable to a simple "modern craftsmanship".

Ye Dongyang stood up, stopped everyone's guessing, and said without hesitation: "You don't have to be suspicious, what Mr. Zhong said, I'm here. Here, I still want to ask a question, Brother Zhang, what about your second dragon?" Xizhu, are you also willing to let go?"

Ye Dongyang asked Zhang Can so directly, Zhang Can smiled, put down his teacup, and replied: "Boss Ye, although I am showing off, if someone must get on it, I can't hide my secrets, but today's first one , that is, this Erlong Xizhu, no matter how much money I got from the auction, I will donate every penny to charity..."

"So, what I hope to get is the result of your fair competition..."

When Zhang Can said this, he was very straightforward. He didn't care how much the Erlong Xizhu was worth, anyway, he wouldn't want a penny. 80, it can only be said that the side that accepts the donation has only this luck, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Can.

Ye Dongyang wanted to say a few more words to tie Zhang Can even tighter, so that Zhang Can could no longer say anything unfavorable to him. Unexpectedly, Huang Mo said: "The works of Luminous Pearl and Mr. Zhou Hanzhou are perfectly combined. This is currently the rarest toy, and its artistic value and collection value are almost priceless..."

"In terms of the price, we really dare not just say so casually... However, now is the market economy period, and the Luminous Pearl will still have a free price, but this price can only be determined by the buyer and the seller. Everyone should be very clear about this. clear."

Originally, to measure the price of a luminous pearl, it is not only its size and volume, but also the cultural value contained in it, such as who has used it, or what historical events have been witnessed, and what people have given it. Special meaning, that is to say, there is no exact price for the night pearl.

However, the Ye Mingzhu in Zhang Can's hand is perfectly combined with the works of the famous artist Zhou Han. This price has at least a minimum bottom line. When it comes to the exact transaction price, it really depends on the wishes of both parties.

Seeing this, Ye Dongyang said with a smile, "In this case, please ask brother Zhang to make a reserve price. I believe the big guys will be a little anxious to wait."

The people in the audience were indeed waiting anxiously. Although the antique business is all about slow rewards, it would be a waste, a waste of time, to go slowly on an occasion like today.

Zhang Can smiled, and said to Zhong Yishan: "Mr. Zhong, let me tell you about the base price. It will be more authoritative. How about it?"

Zhong Yishan gave Zhang Can a very grateful look. Zhang Can's words showed Zhang Can's absolute trust in Zhong Yishan. The original value of Erlong Xizhu is a kind of contempt for Zhang Can and others.

Zhong Yishan naturally wouldn't do such a thing, "Well, let me just say a reserve price of 5000 million. As for the starting price of each auction, it's 200 million, how about it?"

Zhang Can smiled. Although the reserve price of 5000 million yuan is not the real value of this Erlong Xizhu, it will make some money if someone else takes it. If it is of such a huge value, if it is used for collection, those who are present, I'm afraid there are not many people.

Even if Ye Dongyang and others took photos of these things, it was not just for their own collection hobby, they held them in their hands, still just for two words: to make money!

Call the price to the top all of a sudden, and others will lose interest if they lose money.

Now that the reserve price is set, when someone raises their hand, "200 million!"

Most of the people present passed by the auction house and had also bid for items at the auction, so there is no need for others to say, plus the six sculpture-like economic police standing beside Zhang Can, Zhong Yishan and others, people Although there are many, no one dares to mess around.

In this case, the one who raises his hand first may not necessarily be able to successfully bid for the item he wants, but at least he will make it difficult for the people behind him, not to mention his own face.

The mall, that is!

When a good item is auctioned off, blood will flow like a river every now and then!

However, what flowed out was invisible blood.

Ye Dongyang raised his hand, "[-] million..."

A sudden price increase of 800 million, proud!However, this is not because Ye Dongyang is really so generous. Hearing Zhang Can say that he would donate the money, he was moved with compassion.

Ye Dongyang did this in order to overwhelm the others in terms of momentum, so that others would not dare to open their bids easily. It was a foregone conclusion that Zhang Can refused to make a move on the Chang'e flying to the moon earlier. , Ye Dongyang is determined to win.

Sure enough, the other people were in an uproar. Those who wanted 200 million to 200 million slowly stopped talking. After all, although the people at the scene were indeed somewhat unknown, they could get three to five million at every turn. Compared with Ye Dongyang, the rich people who come out are somewhat different. There are not many who can withstand the price increase of tens of millions.

Besides, this is just the beginning, maybe later, what can be photographed is more valuable than these Erlong Xizhu, and that is a good deal, like Ye Dongyang who fights fiercely as soon as he enters the stage, if there is no With strong financial support, you will regret it later when you see something good.

At this moment, there was a brief pause in the auction. According to the rules, if no one raised the bid, they had to announce the hammer to finalize the deal.

Zhong Yishan was a little disappointed. For such a good thing, the base price was only 5000 million, and the asking price was only two times. Although it reached [-] million, it was still a bit unsatisfactory.

Zhang Can, however, sat on the sidelines and smiled, as if this Erlongxizhu could fetch a price of [-] million. how much.

"[-] million, the first time... [-] million, the second time..." Although Zhong Yishan was a little disappointed, he still had to follow the rules. After three bids, no one bids again. This rare item must be returned to Ye All Toyo.

"Three hundred million...

ulltult.
