Chapter 431 Someone Stands Up
Although the weather in mid-March has begun to warm up, the temperature at night is still very low.

Late at night, many people have already fallen asleep, students, workers, office workers, and the elderly. Of course, for night owls, the wonderful day has just begun.

However, there are obviously more night owls tonight than usual. They either stay at home or in Internet cafes, in short, they are in places with computers, mobile phones, and the Internet. Refreshing the page, the eagerness and anticipation in his eyes was like waiting for the lover of his dreams that he hadn't seen for many years.

The antique circle is doomed to be restless tonight, not only in province A, but also all over the country, whether it is antique experts, collectors, lovers or Tibetan friends, so people can't sleep, excitedly waiting for the arrival of zero, just like Just like waiting for the New Year's Eve, it seems to have become a grand festival for antique fans.

The official website of Nostalgic Art Auction Company is the gathering place for these antique fans.

One thousand... two thousand... three thousand...

Ten thousand... twenty thousand... thirty thousand...

Soon, the number of online users on the website has exceeded 3, and this number is still increasing. Everyone has left messages in the message area below the page of the second custom-made antique, although the page is still blank and there is no custom-made antique. The picture appeared, but this will not hinder the enthusiasm of many antique lovers. They used the message area below as a chat room, and Tiannan Haibi chatted with each other.

"What do you think will be the second custom-made antique announced by Huaigu tonight?"

"Huaigu's new boss is unpredictable, who knows what the second custom-made antique will be announced?"

"Yes, if I had known, I wouldn't have waited here. But judging from Castiglione's portrait of Emperor Qianlong last night, the one that will be unveiled tonight must be a priceless treasure."

"Nonsense, I want to know this matter with my ass. The key is whether the custom-made antiques he exhibited tonight will cause as much controversy as the portrait last night."

"I don't think so. With the identification expert team from the Capital Museum, the antiques on display will definitely not be fakes."

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't Huaigu say it in the previous announcement on the official website? The custom-made antiques will be unveiled at midnight every day, and then the expert team will be open for appraisal. Therefore, whether it is genuine or fake, it is estimated that even Huaigu himself doesn't even know."

"Huaigu doesn't know? I don't think so. I think Huaigu is confident that his custom-made antiques are genuine, so he uses this method of first showing and then appraising, just like the portrait of Emperor Qianlong by Castiglione yesterday. The Beijing Museum even sent a Weibo post to explain it, but there is no movement in people's nostalgia, as if they didn't care about this matter at all."

"I've heard about Huaigu Art Auction Company. Their original chairman, Zhou Dazhong, was arrested for antique fraud. I don't know who the new boss is. There are really not many such awesome people in the antique circle. "

"Why isn't it twelve o'clock yet? My family is urging me to sleep, hurry up."

"There's still half an hour left, I'm really anxious."

Compared with the restless people, Li Dacheng was very calm at this time. He was sitting in the study, looking at the antiques on the floor, and he was thinking about which one to upload a photo of tonight.

Although it was less than half an hour before twelve o'clock, he still hadn't made a decision, because in his opinion, all the custom-made antiques in front of him were the same, especially those porcelains, and there was no difference between sending them first and then later.

Seeing that the time left for him was getting less and less, Li Dacheng stood up from the chair, walked to the front of the antique, took out a coin from his pocket, closed his eyes, turned around on the spot, and then threw the coin out.

"Boom!"

A dull voice sounded, Li Dacheng immediately opened his eyes, looked for the coin, and finally found the coin in front of a stone.

Just you!
Li Dacheng looked at the momentum and thought.

Under the expectation of thousands of people, the time finally came to 24 o'clock, which is zero o'clock. That is to say, from this moment on, the time has come from March 11th to March NO.[-]. The second custom-made antique will be Will appear.

Refresh, refresh, keep refreshing, finally, a few colorful pictures appeared on the blank page, with a series of words in front of it.

Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi used Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight.

Seeing the name, the person who had been paying attention to the second custom-made antique was stunned again.

The first custom-made antique is the portrait of Emperor Qianlong by the court painter Castiglione, and the second custom-made antique is the Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight used by Emperor Kangxi. Is this a special order for the royal family?

Tianhuang is known as a unique soft gemstone in China. It is only produced in Shoushan, Fuzhou, which is less than one square kilometer in the world. Because the color is generally yellow and it is produced in the fields, it is called Tianhuangshi.Since the Ming Dynasty, Tian Huangshi has been presented to the imperial palace as an offering, and has been carved into imperial seals and ornaments. Therefore, Tian Huangshi is also known as the king of stones, the Emperor of Stone, so its worth is unparalleled. In terms of price alone, it is Several times that of gold, it can reach tens of thousands to tens of thousands of yuan per gram. If it is a carved art antique, its value can even reach more than one hundred thousand per gram.

Just looking at the Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight in the picture, although its size and weight are not known yet, from the appearance, stone skin, red veins, and radish silk patterns are the three major criteria for identifying Tianhuang. Accounted for, the color is fresh and tender, warm and dense, and it is a rare treasure among Tianhuang stones.

What's more, apart from Tianhuang itself, it also has a very long history, the paperweight used by Emperor Kangxi, which is not only a royal property, but also a thing used by Emperor Kangxi, which adds a bit of nobleness to this piece of Tianhuang. Color is indeed the king of stones.

Objects used by the emperor have always been popular in the antique market, especially those ancient emperors who have left a strong mark in history, and they are even more sought after by antique collectors.

And Kangxi, as the emperor with the longest reign in Chinese history, was not only the foundation of the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, but also created the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong. The Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight is definitely priceless.

Those who are familiar with antique auctions should still remember that ten years ago, a Tianhuangshi Ruishi paperweight from the Ming Dynasty was sold at a high price of nearly 4000 million. It was a long time ago, but in terms of shape and craftsmanship, it is much better than the Tianhuang paperweight of the Ming Dynasty, and its value will naturally increase exponentially.

If the portrait of Emperor Qianlong by Castiglione that appeared yesterday is not easy to distinguish between real and fake, then today's Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight for Emperor Kangxi is much easier to recognize, and it can be distinguished through a few photos.First of all, Tian Huang, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyone with a little common sense of antiques can tell that this is definitely a treasure among Tian Huang stones. Secondly, it was used by Emperor Kangxi, and the paperweight has a mark on it, which is easier to recognize.

If you have to pick the bones in the egg, the only fly in the ointment is that you can only see a few photos, not the real thing. It would be great if you can play with it yourself.

But think about it, how can anyone play with such a precious antique?It was an object used by Emperor Kangxi, and he often played with it. Wouldn't that be Emperor Kangxi?

"Wow, that's amazing, even Emperor Kangxi's imperial paperweights can be collected."

"Tian Huang appeared in the form of seals in ancient times. An auction house auctioned a set of seals used by Emperor Kangxi earlier, but compared with this paperweight, it is obviously more ordinary."

"Tian Huang has been a popular collection in recent years, while paperweights have been a popular collection of antiques. The combination of the two is extremely rare. In addition, it was used by the Emperor Kangxi, and it is a priceless treasure."

"What surprised me was that someone ordered Tianhuang paperweights. I think the orderer should be a special and elegant person. However, this is also in line with the characteristics of the custom-made antiques business, that is, there are not many in the market. It is undoubtedly a happy event for collectors to obtain rare items that are rarely seen or even not available by order.”

"..."

Not long after the second custom-made antique was sent out, a lot of comments below have appeared. Compared with last night's comments full of doubts, today's comments are more consistent. The town's admiration.

Li Dacheng is very satisfied with this result. In fact, someone in the comments about this custom-made antique is indeed right. The person who ordered this antique is a well-known domestic scholar and a calligrapher. The custom-made request is for an imperial paperweight, that is, the paperweight used by the emperor. It does not specify that it must be Tianhuang, nor does it specify that it must be a certain emperor, and this paperweight is also Nalan Mingzhu. offered for him.

Before the release, Li Dacheng got in touch with the university student. When he said that he had found a Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight used by Emperor Kangxi, the other party's voice was full of surprises. Although a large deposit was required, the other party was still very happy. He readily agreed and thanked Li Dacheng.

Before you know it, a network has been formed.

This is the effect Li Dacheng wanted.

Not long after, he mailed some unpublished photos to Zhang Ye, and then went to sleep. As for the outside world, it seemed to have nothing to do with him.

In the morning of the next day, the Beijing Museum posted a Weibo: After the appraisal of the expert group, the Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight used by Emperor Kangxi was genuine.

If there are still people in the antique circle who have doubts about the paperweight, then this Weibo post from the Capital Museum once again dispels all doubts.The Beijing Museum says it is genuine, so there is absolutely no fake.

At the same time, the appearance of another Weibo also attracted the attention of many people.

Zhang Zhilin, a famous scholar, national scholar, historian, and calligrapher, forwarded this Weibo of the Capital Museum, and posted an emoticon showing a thumbs up.

It seems to be very simple, but those who are familiar with Zhang Zhilin don't think so, because Zhang Zhilin has another identity besides the famous names before, that is, a lover of antiques, but what he collects is not Calligraphy and painting, but inkstones and paperweights, so after someone saw him forwarding this Weibo from the Capital Museum, they immediately linked it to the paperweight used by Emperor Kangxi.

"Master Zhang, the Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight used by Emperor Kangxi was not ordered by you, right?" Someone began to ask Zhang Zhilin in the message area.

In the hands of some people, Weibo can be used for advertising, to show affection, and even to complain, but for such masters, Weibo is not a place to talk casually. Every Weibo, every forwarding, They all have his meaning, which can be seen from Zhang Zhilin's previous Weibo records.

"Master Zhang, I heard that you like to collect inkstones and paperweights. This time you reposted another Weibo post. It must be you, right?"

"Don't keep it up, tell me quickly, you want to kill us in a hurry."

"Even if you don't say it now, don't you have to reveal it during the spring auction?"

Messages quickly reached hundreds.

Zhang Zhilin, who is usually very low-key, may be so happy that he rarely replied to this, "Yes, when I applied for custom-made antiques to Huaigu Art Auction Company, what I asked for was a I didn’t expect Huaigu to fulfill my dream. I found a Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight used by Emperor Kangxi. In fact, I only found out last night. Huaigu’s confidentiality work is really good. Here I am. I want to thank Huaigu, and I also hope that when the spring auction comes, the local tyrants will be merciful and make my wish come true."

The reason why Zhang Zhilin responded like this was because he was too happy, and at the same time, he hoped to use his influence to let people who were also interested in this treasure be proud of him. After all, in the antique circle, he cannot be regarded as a rich person, and at most he will fight for it. Ximin took out tens of millions, and it would be difficult to get more.

However, Zhang Zhilin's simple reply caused a stir in the circle. After all, some people thought that nostalgia was a self-promotion of Wang Po selling melons, and she used some rare antiques to pretend to order antiques to promote the company. But as soon as Zhang Zhilin's reply came out, the conspiracy theory was instantly shattered.

How big is Zhang Zhilin, how could he be connected with an auction house?If the Weibo published by the Capital Museum needs to be explained, then Zhang Zhilin’s Weibo needs no further explanation.

Moreover, from Zhang Zhilin's reply, people saw another thing.

Just found out last night?But wasn't the Emperor Kangxi's paperweight announced just last night?In other words, in order to keep it secret, Huaigu would not get in touch with the orderer until the ordered antique was released?
In other words, those who did not receive Huaigu's reply did not mean that they failed the review, but that they did not arrive at the time?
Thinking of this, those who have applied for custom-made antiques from Huaigu once again ignited hope in their hearts.

There is still play!
