Chapter 87 Antique Black Market ([-])

Chu Chen's mood at this time was undoubtedly very nervous. In fact, according to his opinion, when Yu Guangjie raised the price to 390 million, it was already enough, but Zhao Qirui wanted to avenge the afternoon, so he paid 430 million.

What he is worried about now is, what if Yu Guangjie doesn't answer?If he doesn't accept it, the loss will be huge. The money is a trivial matter, but it will be a little embarrassing, and this matter is also his idea, and he must take some responsibility.

Yu Guangjie originally wanted to let it go, but when he saw Zhao Qirui's half-smile expression, his heart suddenly became angry.

In fact, he hated Zhao Qirui very much in his heart. At first, his parents were about to arrange a marriage for him, but it was ruined by Zhao Qirui. Whenever he thought of the beauty leaving him, he always felt a dull pain in his heart. Let him always worry about it.

But Yu Guangjie didn't dare to do anything to Zhao Qirui, who said that Zhao Qirui was strong and had a much bigger background than him?However, at the auction this afternoon, Zhao Qirui accidentally put one on for him, and that feeling made him feel that it was really wonderful.

"This gentleman bid 430 million. Is there anyone else who bid? If not, then..."

"Wait, I'll offer 440 million!"

Yu Guangjie still felt that he would lose face if he backed down at this critical moment, but he was still conflicted in his heart. He wanted Zhao Qirui to continue bidding so that he would not lose his ability to bid for a while, and he also wanted to be able to make the painting Buying it is also a bragging rights for Zhao Qirui.

In fact, Zhao Qirui wanted to increase the price, but this is a black market for antiques after all, if it was a formal auction, he really wanted to have fun.

The auctioneer asked a few questions according to the rules, and soon announced the deal.Seeing this situation, Chu Chen also heaved a sigh of relief. Only now did he realize that beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead.

"Bosses, pay attention. The items below are quite important. I hope you don't miss them." The auctioneer reminded with a smile on his face.

Having said that, the interest of the buyers at the scene was immediately raised again. It was a work by Shen Zhou just now, what treasures are there now?
This time the things should be a pair, I saw two hostesses, one of them walked to the stage holding a brocade box with elegant posture, put the brocade box on the table, and then both opened it, and the two carefully put the contents inside. Take it out and put it on the table, a pair of exquisite flower pattern bowls are displayed in front of everyone.

"A Pair of Enamel Flower Pattern Bowls, Yongzheng Period, Qing Dynasty!"

Looking at the picture projected on the wall, Zhao Qirui seemed to be attracted, and murmured: "It's really a good thing, this time it must be the real thing!"

"It's really a good thing. I think this pair of enamel paints should be the real thing now. It's impossible for the organizer to always bring wrong things, especially such expensive things." Chu Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Qirui also smiled slightly, and said: "These people really can't tell, but I still hope that they are genuine products. If they are genuine products, I will definitely take them down, and I will leave it to you, Xiao Chu."

Chu Chen nodded and walked onto the stage.

What Chu Chen looked at first was the inscription. He saw that the pair of bowls were made of "Yongzheng Year" blue material with double frames. In this respect, it should be the work of this dynasty.

Chu Chen seized the time to observe other features. These bowls are both open, with curved belly and rounded feet.The inner surface of the vessel is smooth, the foot end is round, the shape is regular, the fetal quality is fine, and the fetal body is well-proportioned.Transparent glaze is applied to the inside and bottom of the vessel, the glaze surface is moist and even, and the white is slightly greenish.The fetal glaze also conforms to the characteristics of the Yongzheng period.

The outer wall of the bowl is painted with enamel.One side is painted with rose, osmanthus, poppy, chrysanthemum, crabapple and other blooming flowers. The flowers are bright and dazzling, the branches and leaves are green and tender, the trees are vigorous, the stones are exquisite and clear, the patterns are exquisitely painted, and the lines are natural and smooth.

The other side is inscribed with five-character poems in ink and color, and engraved with three seal script Zhuwen Xianzhang, and the five-character poems and Xianzhang on the two bowls are also different.Because the pair of enamel color bowls are painted with skillful strokes, although the subject matter is the same, there are still some subtle differences. Of course, it can be seen from the brushwork that the pair of bowls should come from the same painter.

From the characteristics of color materials, painting skills, and decoration, Chu Chen can conclude that this pair of enamel colored flower bowls is indeed a work of the Yongzheng period.But after all, the pair of bowls are of relatively high value, so he still used the ability, and the ability also confirmed his judgment.

Enamel color was created in the late years of Kangxi and flourished in the years of Yongzheng and Qianlong.

During the Yongzheng period, the enamel colors were relatively mature, with breakthroughs in craftsmanship and richer color materials. Most of the enamel colors were painted on white ground. The painting styles of the pattern-shaped flowers with large leaves are very different.

And this pair of bowls is a famous piece of Yongzheng enamel colored porcelain that integrates poetry, calligraphy, and painting. Even if it is counted alone, it is much more precious than the enamel colored bowl from the Qianlong period that Chu Chen got back then.

Seeing such a beautiful enamel colored bowl, of course Chu Chen wanted to take a closer look, but the auctioneer next to him politely reminded: "Boss, it's time."

Chu Chen frowned. The black market for antiques has one bad thing, that is, the time for everyone to appraise is too short, only 3 minutes. Better identification, so that the organizers will be able to fish in troubled waters.

Like Shen Zhou's work just now, although Qian Changxing's character is not good, his eyesight is still very good after listening to Uncle Wu and the others. If it wasn't for the lack of time, he would be able to discover some of the problems in it.

"How about it?"

After Chu Chen returned to his seat, Zhao Qirui couldn't wait to ask.

"It's all genuine and in good condition."

Hearing this, Zhao Qirui said excitedly: "That's good, I finally got a real harvest today."

The time was almost up, and the auctioneer on the stage said, "Bosses, due to some special reasons, the starting price for this pair of bowls is 100 million. Now, please start bidding!"

Although the starting price of 100 million caused some uproar among the audience, it does not affect the people who like it, and in terms of appearance, 100 million is not enough for a genuine product.

"100 million!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone called out the price.

"150 million!" A fat man who looked wealthy added 50 directly.

As soon as the price came out, there was silence at the scene. After all, the appraisal time was too short, so it was hard to say whether it was true or not. If it was true, then the price would definitely be a profit, but what if it was fake?
"Brother Zhao, don't you want to make an offer?" Chu Chen asked a little strangely. Just now, Zhao Qirui clearly liked the pair of bowls, so why did he change his mind after a while?

Zhao Qirui smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, the bidding at the auction is the most impatient, and if there are too many bidders, it is easy to raise the price too high, and if the price does not reach a certain point, it will be a waste of words."

Chu Chen nodded after hearing the words. It is indeed reasonable to say that, when there are many people and the atmosphere is high, it is often easy to make people uneasy.

The price of 150 million made many people retreat. Afterwards, together with the fat man, only four of them bid there, and the price increase was not too high, only 190. When the fat man's price reached [-] million, The scene suddenly calmed down.

"190!" Zhao Qirui began to force himself.

This price made the fat man a little tangled up. Although it was only an increase of [-], it also made him wake up from the state of excitement just now.After all, the master he brought with him could not be [-]% sure of the authenticity of the pair of bowls. There were still risks involved, and they were not small.

However, he was not so willing to let him give up the bidding, so he quoted another price: "190 million!"

"190 million!" At this time, if you really want to take a picture of the bowl, you must not raise the price too high. This will greatly increase the possibility of others thinking it is genuine, and it will be self-defeating, so the best way Just be patient.

Sure enough, the fat man couldn't bear it any longer, and the cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "190 million!"

Zhao Qirui saw that the price increase of the fat man had also dropped, so he knew it was almost the same, but he still looked patient and said leisurely: "190 million!"

Fatty was defeated by this price, and he knew in his heart that if his state continued like this, he would not be able to withstand it, so he might as well give up his weapons and surrender as soon as possible.

After Zhao Qirui got the pair of enamel colored flower bowls, he immediately took them out to look at them carefully. Although the light was a bit dim, he still watched with great interest, and said happily, "This trip is a consummation of merit and virtue."

Next, Chu Chen originally thought there was something good, but unexpectedly, it was a bamboo pen holder, and it was the penultimate item in this auction, which was really disappointing.

But think about it, is it the first time you come to the black market, you can't buy nothing, and the last one is definitely not bad.That being the case, let's go up and have a look at this pen holder. If it's good, buy it as a souvenir on the black market.

So he greeted Zhao Qirui and came to the stage.

This pen holder looks pretty good. The mouth and the base are made of wood. The whole body uses the technique of sinking deep into the ground. The knife technique also has a certain skill. Judging from the characteristics of the patina, this should be a late Qing Dynasty. The value of his works is around two or three thousand.

But looking at it, Chu Chen suddenly discovered a detail, which made him have a guess. Unfortunately, the ability has been used up and cannot be verified, but anyway, the price of this item should not be high, so buy it first.
