Chapter 180 It's All Fake

The little old man then smiled and said: "I believe many friends are guessing how many antiques we will auction tonight. I can tell you right now that there are more antiques auctioned in this auction than in the past. We have prepared a total of 120 pieces for auction." It is also the most auctioned item in our history, and I believe that everyone who comes tonight will not be disappointed."

"Okay, I won't take up everyone's time, and the next time will be handed over to our auctioneer, Mr. Hoff."

After the little old man finished speaking, he went down. Just as he went down, another blond foreigner in his 50s came up. This man was the auctioneer Hof.

After Hof took the stage, he nodded slightly and said, "It's a great honor for us to come to China for the auction. To express our gratitude, let's officially launch tonight's auction with China's famous porcelain."

While Hof was talking, two young and beautiful women pushed a small trolley to Hof's side, and then carefully lifted the red silk covering the items on the trolley.

"Yuan blue and white!"

Looking at a large porcelain jar on the small cart, Fang Mutian's eyes widened instantly. As for antiques, he is no less than anyone else, even those real old experts, and even worse. .

Hearing Fang Mutian's cry, Lei Yaoyang asked in surprise, "Mutian, do you still know porcelain?"

Although Lei Yaoyang is the boss of the Green Bamboo Gang, with a high position and authority, he is in charge of half of the underground forces in Jingyang City, but no matter what, he is still a gangster after all, but he is more successful than other gangsters .

If you let Lei Yaoyang kill people, he can do it easily, but if you ask him to give some opinions on antiques, then you might as well kill him. In terms of antiques, he is nothing but a smear Understand.

The business of antiques requires long-term accumulation and precipitation. It doesn't mean that you have a few antiques in your hand, which means you understand antiques.

In this regard, Lei Yaoyang has never been involved before, so he doesn't understand these things, and he came here tonight because he was curious about the 'Century Auction House' and wanted to see it, and he didn't intend to bid for things.

"I learned about this when I was fine, and I understand a little bit." Fang Mutian nodded modestly.

He was shocked, he didn't expect that the first thing to be auctioned at the auction was Yuan blue and white.Lei Yaoyang didn't know about Yuan Qinghua, but he knew it very well.

Yuan blue and white is of great significance to Chinese porcelain, opening up a new era of transition from plain porcelain to colored porcelain. A wonderful flower in the sky.

According to research and investigation, there are only about [-] pieces of Yuan blue and white, and almost half of the Yuan blue and white are either in foreign museums or in the hands of private collectors.

Yuan blue and white was not valued by collectors before, and it slowly entered the field of vision of collectors in the 50s of the last century, especially on July 2005, 7, the "Huaxia Ceramics Exhibition" held by Christie's in London , Handicrafts, and Exported Handicrafts” auction, the Yuan blue-and-white “Guiguzi Down the Mountain” pot that appeared was finally sold at a sky-high price of 12 million pounds. The highest auction record in the world.

Since then, Yuan Qinghua has instantly become the darling in the eyes of everyone, and also a symbol of wealth and status.

Among the Yuan blue and white, the most precious is the porcelain painted with figures. It can be said that each piece is a top national treasure and a genuine product among treasures.However, the first piece of Yuan blue and white to be auctioned at the auction house today is such a large porcelain jar.

The pot is 29.5cm high, 23cm in diameter, and 19.5cm in bottom diameter. It has a lotus leaf cover, fine porcelain body, white and even glaze color, and very pure blue and white pigments. Like a snake, the dragon head is long and flat, with double horns, mouth open and teeth bared, slender neck, four thin legs, concave and convex tendons, claws with five fingers, powerfully divided, elbow hair and tail mane in flame shape, majestic and noble .

On the ground, a group of people were kneeling, respectfully and with a trace of fear, they worshiped the golden dragon in Yun Cong.The flowers, plants and trees, the golden dragon in the clouds, and the characters on the ground all appear lifelike and extremely vivid.

It can be seen from the decoration on the blue and white porcelain that the superb skills of the painters in the Yuan Dynasty, both in shape and decoration, are very exquisite. The simple and generous charm of the blue and white of the later generations does not have it.

"No, why do I feel weird about this Yuan blue and white? Although it looks like the real thing, there is nothing wrong with it, but why does it always give me the feeling that it is a fake?" Fang Mutian stared at the Yuan blue and white on the stage, his brows frowning. Congealed together.

At this time, Hoff, the auctioneer on the stage, said: "I believe that everyone is familiar with it. Yes, it is Yuan blue and white, beautiful and noble Yuan blue and white. The first auction item we auction today is this Yuan blue and white." The base price of this jar is 800 million US dollars, and the price increase should not be less than 20 US dollars each time, and the bidding starts now!"

Those who came to participate in the auction were laymen like Lei Yaoyang, and they were basically experts. When they saw the Yuan blue and white flowers on the stage, they all had hot faces.There are not many Yuan blue and white flowers, and such a large pot of figure pictures is even rarer. Everyone is eager to include it in their collections.

Since the 'Century Auction' was held for the first time, among the items auctioned, there has not been a single imitation, and all of them are genuine, so no one doubts that the auction is an imitation, and there are many people who come here Experts, from all aspects of observation, they also recognize that this is a genuine product.

As soon as Hof's words fell, someone made a bid. Instead of adding 20 yuan, he directly added 100 million yuan, raising the price to 900 million US dollars.

The people who came to participate in the auction were basically rich people. Faced with such a good thing, no one was willing to let it go. After the first person started bidding, the people behind him shouted out their prices one after another.

"500 million!"

On a screen behind Hough, room 23 was displayed, with an offer of 500 million.

And just after 500 million appeared, another 600 million appeared immediately. 600 million is US dollars, not Huaxia currency. If converted into Huaxia currency, it would be more than 1 million, but although the price has risen It reached [-] million, but the rate of price increase not only did not slow down, but continued to increase.

"Twenty-six and a half million!"

"600 million, customer No. 51 bid 600 million, is there anyone with a higher bid?" Hough shouted.

"Twenty-six and a half million!"

"Twenty-six and a half million!"

Soon, several people began to bid, and after a while, the price exceeded 3000 million, reaching the sky-high price of 700 million.

This price has completely surpassed the "Guiguzi Down the Mountain" yuan blue and white large jar auctioned in 2005, and has almost become the highest auction record for Huaxia artworks in the world.

And when everyone was bidding for the auction, Fang Mutian frowned, looking at the blue and white pot on the stage, he always felt something was wrong.

You must know that Fang Mutian's ability to appraise treasures is a master level. In this world, if his ability to appreciate treasures is said to be second, then no one dares to be number one. He can identify things that others can't see. If it comes out, then others will definitely not be able to identify it.

Fang Mutian looked at the large Yuan blue and white pot on the stage carefully over and over again. Whether it was the Yuan blue and white shape or the decoration, they were all lifelike, extremely vivid, and very exquisite. This must be a fine product. Judging from the above, it also belongs to that era.

"Is it really the real thing? I feel wrong?" Fang Mutian was a little unsure, and immediately used a perspective to observe the Yuan blue and white jar on the stage.

When his eyes fell on the Yuan blue and white pot, his pupils shrank suddenly. There was actually a small piece of copper hidden inside the porcelain wall, and on the copper piece, there was a string of English words, which translates to "Lorraine imitation". three words.

"It's really a fake!"

Fang Mutian looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. He couldn't believe that there was such a person with such a strong imitation ability, who made an imitation so realistic. If it wasn't for the words "Lorraine imitation" in it, he would have thought it was an imitation. A genuine piece.

"Damn it, this is really an event that only rich people can participate in. Just such a piece of porcelain has been sold for 100 million. This is US dollars, not Huaxia coins." Lei Yaoyang sighed from the side.

Fang Mutian was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect to add several million more in such a short period of time, and at the same time he couldn't help shaking his head, he really wanted to see what kind of expressions these people would have if they knew it was a fake.

"100 million, 35 million on the 100th, is there anyone who has a higher bid? Oh, 12 and 4000 million on the 12th, 4000 and 24 million on the [-]th, hey, [-] million on the [-]th!" Looking at the prices refreshed again and again on the screen behind him, Hof kept shouting on stage.

[-] U.S. dollars, which is already close to [-] million Huaxia coins. This is definitely a sky-high price, and what makes Fang Mutian even more speechless is that this is still an imitation. If it is genuine, it is acceptable, but it is this A fake.

However, apart from Fang Mutian himself, no one else knew that they were kept in the dark.

In the end, the price of this fake Yuan blue and white piece was set at 600 million, which successfully broke the world's highest auction record for Chinese artwork.

After the Yuan blue and white auction ended, the second auction item was pushed up immediately. This is an oil painting, a Spanish painter, sculptor, and Picasso's painting. If it is real, it is also extremely precious.

After seeing it, Fang Mutian shook his head. This painting is fake again, and there is also the phrase "Lorraine imitation" in this painting. It is a place that people can't see at all, and it is very secretive.

One by one, the auction items were launched and bought by these wealthy collectors at a terrifying price. Soon, all 120 auction items were auctioned off.

Looking at the 120 auction items, Fang Mutian was extremely shocked, because he found that these 120 auction items were all fake, none of them were real, and all of them were imitations, and each item had hidden "Lorraine" imitate" a word.

"Imitation by Lorraine? Could it be that these things were copied by a person named Lorraine? If he is really the only one, then this person is too scary, right? It involves such a wide range, and the imitation is so real." Fang Mutian I was so shocked, I felt that this was too unbelievable.
