Meng Zitao felt that the exchange just now was a bit strange. It might be due to the conspiracies he often encountered. He made some preparations. If something happened, the other party would definitely shoot him in the foot, so he put it aside. aside.
Next, everyone found a restaurant to eat and chat. When the time was almost up, they said goodbye to Mr. Jiang and returned to the hotel. ¡
Soon, it was the day of the auction that Zhang Jingqiang mentioned.
The auction started at ten o'clock in the morning. Everyone took the car to the service center where the auction was held after nine o'clock. After registering, they entered the auction site.
Today¡¯s auction items include only some confiscated imitation porcelain. Other items that were confiscated due to involvement in the case will not participate in the bidding today due to some special reasons.
This made some people who learned about it in advance feel very disappointed, including Meng Zitao and others. In addition, some people heard about such changes and were not prepared to participate.
" However, Meng Zitao and the others' main goal is those imitation cultural relics, and by the way, they can experience the atmosphere of this kind of auction. It doesn't matter much now.
Since there were only thirty pieces of imitation porcelain in total, the organizer of the auction did not hold any preview. They just arranged the lots in rows for everyone to appreciate. They are all imitations anyway, so there is no need to check whether they are genuine or not. Just look at the quality. In addition, As long as you are not satisfied with it, the participants will watch it very quickly.
Because of time constraints, Meng Zitao and the others took a cursory glance at each piece and found that the quality of these imitations was indeed relatively high. Some of them could even be as fake as real ones, so their collection value was still good.
"Hey, there is actually a Xuande five-color goblet." Shu Ze laughed while holding a five-color goblet.
Speaking of Xuande five colors, it was once a mystery in the history of ceramics. According to the "Museum Essentials": "Xuande's five colors are piled up deeply". In the fourth volume of "Guang Zhi Yi" written by Wang Shixing of the Ming Dynasty, there is a record: "The Xuande five colors are stacked deeply, and the kilns are made with light colors." It is also recorded in Gao Lian's "Yan Xianqing Appreciation Notes": "The Xuande five colors "The beauty of the seat is like a hollow flower filled with five colors. The flower is like a cloud brocade filled with five colors, which is gorgeous and pleasing to the eye."
It can be seen that there are many records of Xuande colorful porcelain in the notes of the Ming Dynasty. However, the long-standing dispute over Xuande's colorful paintings has remained unresolved due to the lack of physical objects. As for whether Xuande Dynasty had five colors, no one can convince anyone.
It wasn't until 1984 that a photographer accidentally took photos of two Xuande five-color official kiln bowls. They were finally identified as Xuande official kiln wares by Mr. Geng Baochang. In 1988, at the ruins of the imperial kiln factory in Zhushan, the porcelain capital, Another plate with a mandarin duck and lotus pond pattern "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" was unearthed, making the Xuande colorful dispute more clear. The mystery was finally solved.
"However, Xuande five-color porcelain is very rare in the world, so most people have never seen it. There are four pairs here, and they are well-made. Shu Ze feels it is a bit novel.
Everyone was also very curious and picked up the goblets and looked at it.
These goblets are all of the same style, with a wide mouth, a curved belly, a trumpet-shaped foot, and a convex edge in the middle. The outer belly of the bowl is painted with dragons and phoenixes in five colors, flying gracefully among the clouds. The convex edges are decorated with a circle pattern, and the foot wall is decorated with sea water patterns in blue and green colors. The waves are rolling and powerful. The six-character regular script inscription "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" is written in the double circle at the bottom of the goblet.
Although the decorations on these goblets are the same, and the artist¡¯s painting skills are quite high, they still look a little different in glaze color and other aspects due to factors such as glaze materials and kiln temperature.
But no matter what, these pairs of colorful goblets are still worth ordering, even comparable to the official kilns.
While everyone was observing and discussing these pairs of goblets, the staff nearby reminded everyone that the auction was about to begin.
These pairs of colorful goblets were placed in the last position, so everyone had already seen the other lots. Seeing that the auction was about to begin, everyone put down what they were holding and found a row with a better view.
After all, what was being auctioned was only some imitation antiques, and there were not many people participating in the auction. The hall, which can accommodate four to five hundred people, was sparsely populated, and there were basically no people who were unfamiliar with it sitting next to each other.
Just as Meng Zitao was about to sit down, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of him on his left who looked familiar.
Meng Zitao immediately remembered who this person was, because he looked so conspicuous, middle-aged, with a big black mole on the upper corner of his mouth, and a few hairs growing on it. He looked like the villain butlers in the TV series. The character is clearly the one he met with Yang Ruifeng in Suzhou. According to the investigation, this person is named Yuan Yanfeng.
Regarding Yuan Yanfeng¡¯s appearance here,?Meng Zitao is not too strange. The strange thing is that he has lost a lot of weight compared to when we first met him. He seems to have lost twenty or thirty pounds. If it weren't for this man's unique appearance, Meng Zitao would have lost a lot of weight. It would definitely take some time to recognize him.
Speaking of Yuan Yanfeng, we have to talk about Yang Ruifeng. After previous investigation, Yang Ruifeng was very mysterious. On the surface, he was engaged in a serious antique business, but he did not have a physical store. The most unusual thing is that, He actually doesn't do business with the antique dealers in Ling City at all.
¡° Moreover, on the surface, the origins of the antiques in Yang Ruifeng¡¯s hands are normal, but in fact, they are not consistent with his financial transactions.
And investigators found that three months ago, Yang Ruifeng's account had a large amount of money, but it immediately returned to normal.
In this way, after a period of careful investigation, it has been basically determined that Yang Ruifeng should be engaged in cultural relic smuggling, smuggling antiques he obtained from various channels to foreign countries to obtain huge profits.
The reason why Yang Ruifeng was not arrested is, on the one hand, because there is not much evidence against Yang Ruifeng. In addition, Yang Ruifeng should have other accomplices, and he may even be a member of an organization. However, due to the same evidence, he has not been arrested for the time being. no result.
Therefore, the treatment of Yang Ruifeng is to take a long-term view for the time being.
Therefore, now that Yuan Yanfeng appears here, Meng Zitao can't help but feel strange. After all, why is Yuan Yanfeng interested in the imitation auction?
Shu Ze noticed Meng Zitao's gaze, turned around and saw Yuan Yanfeng, and asked, "What, do you know this person?"
Meng Zitao sat down and said, "I'll tell you later."
Seeing what Meng Zitao said, Shu Ze didn't ask any more questions.
At ten o'clock sharp, the auction officially started. The auctioneer first briefly introduced the situation, and then said loudly: "Imitation cultural relic No. 1, a blue-glazed plum vase with white dragon pattern from the Yuan Dynasty, the starting price is 10,000"
This auction item is shaped like a plum vase from the Song Dynasty. It is beautiful and tall, with a dark blue glaze as the ground, and a vigorous green and white glaze dragon circling the belly of the vase. The contrast between blue and white is very vivid. The authenticity of this artifact is now hidden in the Yangcheng Museum.
The starting price of the plum vase is not high, but because it is a replica, the transaction price is not high. It is usually sold when it reaches 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Some of the better quality ones may reach 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and basically nothing exceeds this price. of.
The auction was proceeding in an orderly manner, and since there was basically no fierce competition, it seemed calm.
"It's really boring. I told you a long time ago that this kind of auction is no different from a regular auction. What can be gained from such worthless things? If you ask me, you shouldn't come here." Shu Ze yawned out of boredom. .
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Not necessarily, maybe there will be a big harvest?"
"Didn't you just take pictures of two pieces of blue and white porcelain? What's the big gain?" Zhang Jingqiang next to him became curious.
Meng Zitao chuckled and was about to speak when he heard the auctioneer speak: "Lot No. 28, a pair of Ming Xuande multicolored dragon and phoenix pattern goblets, starting price is 20,000."
"Thirty thousand." As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone placed a bid.
"Let's talk about it after I take a picture of this pair of goblets." Meng Zitao said with a smile.
Within the time Meng Zitao said a word, the price kept rising, reaching the highest price in the auction in an instant, 80,000, and the person bidding was none other than Yuan Yanfeng, who Meng Zitao found strange.
Seeing that everyone else thought the price was too high, Meng Zitao made his first offer: "Eighty-five thousand."
Yuan Yanfeng turned back and looked at where Meng Zitao was sitting. However, due to the high back of the chair and the angle, he could not see clearly Meng Zitao's appearance unless he stood up.
Seeing that the person who couldn¡¯t see the quotation, Yuan Yanfeng turned around again and calmly raised the sign to quote: ¡°90,000.¡±
"Ninety-five thousand." Meng Zitao immediately followed up with another quote.
"One hundred thousand"
Next, the price increased alternately, and it soon reached more than 190,000.
"Two hundred thousand!" At this time, Yuan Yanfeng's face began to darken, and he hated Meng Zitao who was competing with him so much that he really wanted to eat him alive. At the same time, he was also very confused in his heart. Did the other party see something?
Not to mention the doubts in Yuan Yanfeng's heart, as soon as the price of 200,000 was announced, the entire audience fell silent, and then a "buzzing" discussion broke out.
"What's going on? Someone actually offered two hundred thousand for such a pair of colorful goblets. Isn't that crazy?"
"Is this man insane? There are four pairs in total, and this is only the second pair. If this continues, will the prices of the remaining two pairs go up?"
At this time, Meng Zitao followed the price again.
"Twenty-one thousand, these two people are not fighting, right?"
"There is really nothing to spend the money on. To spend so much money on just such a pair of cups, there must be something wrong with your brain."
"Hey, the price has increased again. Isn't there something special about this pair of goblets?"
"What's so special? I've seen that cup just now. Everything about the glaze color doesn't feel right. It's obviously an imitation. Even if there's something special about it, how much is a pair of modern imitations worth?"
Amid the discussion, Meng Zitao and Yuan Yanfeng remained unmoved. They kept going back and forth, raising prices, not knowing when it would end (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)sp; At this time, Meng Zitao followed the price again.
