Chapter 251: The auction begins

At this time, Jiahao caught two eyes full of pride.

It's Chen Fei and his apprentice Li Qianzhou.

The two of them looked very proud. Chen Fei had more of a sinister smile on his face, but his apprentice Li Qianzhou looked like a typical villain who succeeds.

Damn it, you pair of top masters and disciples must never get into my hands, I will definitely make your life worse than death!!!

Jiahao said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Mr. Deng leaned close to Jiahao's ear, smiled "hehe" and said: "I will give them a hard time if I get the chance."

The tone was very light, and seemed to be full of smiles, but it was these unclear words that made Jiahao feel a deep chill.

"Um!"

Jiahao nodded solemnly after hearing this.

The war between the older generation has now officially extended to the next generation.

Fight until death!

At this time, the auctioneer on the podium continued: "You are all noble people who often participate in auctions, but in order to ensure the fairness of the auction, I still want to introduce some of the procedures and regulations of the auction."

"The person who participates in the auction is called the bidder, and the person who auctions the items is called the client..."

What follows is another long introduction, which makes people around me feel sleepy. I don’t know how many times I have heard this paragraph. I listen to it every time I attend an auction, and my ears are filled with gizzards.

But Jiahao listened with great interest. He didn't understand these things, so he just listened to them and laid some foundation for participating in other auctions in the future. He didn't understand anything at all.

After the auctioneer finished his introduction, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. Now I announce that the first season of the Degas Summer Auction has officially begun!"

The scene immediately burst into applause, and people who had just been drowsy also became interested.

"The first auction item is a work by the master of traditional Chinese painting Cheng Zhenguo, an ink landscape figure painting. Please take a look."

Following the direction of the auctioneer's finger, two people carefully walked up holding a scroll, walked to the booth, and slowly unfolded it. An ink landscape painting of figures immediately appeared in front of people's eyes.

A huge LCD screen in front of the venue also began to display pictures of landscape paintings.

Along with the beautiful music, the pictures on the LCD screen constantly change, allowing people to appreciate every detail.

Along with the animation on the LCD screen, the auctioneer's explanation also began: "Master Cheng Zhenguo, a native of Linqu, Shandong, nicknamed Ruochi, is good at Chinese painting. He studied under Liang Shunian, Guo Beiluan, and Mr. Bai Xueshi specializing in landscape painting. Now he is a Chinese

Director of the Artists Association, member of the Art Committee of the Beijing Artists Association, and vice president of the Beijing Haidian Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. This landscape painting was created by Mr. Cheng Zhenguo for a year. Every stroke in the painting shows Mr. Cheng Zhenguo’s

Mr. Shanshui's background in landscape painting. The characters in the painting have a calm and lifelike expression, like a master's posture of a hermit in the mountains. The flying clothes and belts give the characters a fairy-like look. The surrounding mountains and rivers seem to have just been washed by the autumn rain, and they are hazy.

The hazy color adds a touch of artistic conception, and the string of mountain red behind the figure shows the vitality of all things. This painting is definitely a rare treasure, and the price of Mr. Cheng Zhenguo’s landscape paintings has been rising in recent years. This painting is absolutely

It has collection value. Of course, the most important thing is that this painting is authentic. Now that the introduction is over, the bidding begins. The lowest price is five thousand, and each increase must not be less than five hundred. The bidding begins!"

Is this painting authentic?

This sentence aroused everyone's interest. Very few auction houses talk about authenticity. Once they say authenticity, if you buy a fake, all the responsibility will be borne by the auction house. If you dare to say this, it means that the painting must be real.

Although Cheng Zhenguo is not a great master, and he is still alive, his paintings are indeed worth collecting now. All the works of great masters only increase in value crazily after their death. I guarantee that this painting will double several times in a few decades.

It’s not needed now, so it’s good to leave it to future generations.

"Six thousand!"

After the auctioneer's voice fell, the next voice rang out.

"Okay, this gentleman bids six thousand..."

Before the auctioneer finished shouting, another person raised his hand again and said: "Seven thousand."

"Nine thousand!"

…

The first auction item in the auction was a battle between dragons and tigers. Although everyone was willing to bid up one thousand to one thousand without any pain, they couldn't stand the crowd. After one round, the price had risen to twenty thousand, and it was still.

It continues to rise.

Jiahao sat below and quietly felt the atmosphere of the song. Although there were few people talking and the scene was in order, he could feel the depressive atmosphere of the scene. Suppression is for better explosion. The entire auction

It will be like a calm sea, but there are violent undercurrents below.

A few more people raised the price, and the price for a painting suddenly rose to thirty-five thousand.

There are still many people who did not bid because such a painting is not worth their money. This is just an appetizer, and the rest is the main event.

Soon the price of the painting reached fifty-seven thousand.

"Is there anyone who wants to increase the price? Fifty-seven thousand for the first time... Fifty-seven thousand for the second time." As he spoke, the auctioneer scanned the audience with his eyes, and after confirming that no one was raising the price, he shouted

: "Fifty-seven thousand third time!"

"boom!"

The hammer fell and the deal was done.

The auctioneer put on a smile and said: "Congratulations to Mr. No. 96 for bidding 57,000 on this collection. I wish you good luck in your future collections!"

The man No. 96 was elated after what the auctioneer said, with a thick smile on his face. When the hammer fell just now, he breathed a sigh of relief. If someone increases the price again, he will definitely not follow it. Fifty-seven thousand has already reached the highest price.

The price, luckily no one raised the price.

The first auction item, Cheng Zhenguo's ink landscape painting, was taken down, and then the second auction item was brought up.

"The second auction item is an early Qing Dynasty animal ear incense burner."

The picture of the incense burner was played again on the LCD screen, and the auctioneer continued to explain according to the picture: "This early Qing Dynasty animal ear incense burner is 8.3 cm high, 10.2 cm in diameter, and has a three-legged cylinder shape, which is similar to our common round bowl.

The shape of the incense burner is different. Manchu craftsmanship, the whole body is cast with exquisite patterns, large work is combined with small work, the lines are smooth, very simple. The refined brass is covered with green patina, and the rust color is beautiful..."

"The base price is 10,000, each increase must not be less than 1,000, start bidding!"

After the auctioneer's introduction, there were immediately people bidding.

"twelve thousand."

"Fifteen thousand."

"Ten thousand and seventeen."

…

Although it is not a Han product, this incense burner is indeed a good thing, and it is more pious to use an ancient incense burner to burn incense and worship Buddha. Whether you collect it or take it back to continue burning incense and worshiping Buddha, this incense burner is worth buying. And the auctioneer also said that it is true.

, so people who did not participate in the auction for the first collection also raised their hands to participate in the auction.

Although I have no research on bronzes, the simple green rust color can still attract the attention of Jiahao. These are all good things, and I have learned a lot today.

In the past, it was good to come across an authentic item in the antique street, but all I encountered at the auction were genuine. After being used to seeing fakes and then looking at the authentic ones, it really gave me a heart-pounding feeling.

Mr. Deng’s purpose of bringing Jiahao here is to let him gain experience. Practicing a stall is just a small business, and in the end he can only become a treasure hunter who makes a living for a small profit, and Jiahao performed very well during his trip to the Shanghai stock market.

His ordinary ability, especially his experience in appraising Zhu Fang, can be called a master, but in other aspects, he cannot be complimented. And auctions are the place where priceless things are displayed. If you want to become a real collector, you must

You have to go through the baptism of the auction, and it can’t be just once, you have to come often.

However, Jiahao's current knowledge structure is not perfect enough, so it is still necessary to practice stalls. This time it is just to let him gain experience.

Finally, this early Qing Dynasty animal ear incense burner was purchased by the wealthy businessman No. 56 for a high price of 90,000. It can be seen from his expression that he must be a believer in Buddhism, but has he done anything untoward?

It is unclear if he wants Buddha to forgive him.

As the auction progressed, pieces of the collection were put up for auction.

While Jiahao was looking at the collection, he also paid attention to the performance of his nine opponents. He found that each of their faces was very indifferent, as if they were familiar with the auction process, and they did not seem to be very interested in the auction items. Only the first

When I brought up the four auction items and a porcelain vase from the early Qing Dynasty, my expression became more focused.

When looking at the expressions of the nine people, Jiahao automatically excluded Li Qianzhou and Zhuang Mengdie.

Because Li Qianzhou didn't pay attention to the auction at all, he turned his head and threw an electric eye at Zhuang Mengdie who was far away from him. Zhuang Mengdie was quite cooperative, looking like a nymphomaniac who was stunned.

What a perfect couple!

Jiahao felt contempt in his heart, but he had a feeling in his heart that Zhuang Mengdie's behavior was done deliberately, because how could an arrogant and conceited woman like Zhuang Mengdie fall in love with a self-proclaimed romantic guy like Li Qianzhou?

It's just a straw bag.

Maybe there is some conspiracy here.

Jiahao made a guess in his mind, but he didn't see a trace of affectation on Zhuang Mengdie's face at all. If he was really acting deliberately, then Zhuang Mengdie must be at the level of an Oscar-winning actress. She was already obsessed with her.

Maybe they really have similar odors!

Jiahao simply stopped observing them, out of sight and out of mind, and continued to watch the auction.

Soon, the sixth auction item was brought up by the auction staff with a plate covered with red cloth in both hands.

The auction items are on the red cloth.

Because the auction items were too small, many people craned their necks and looked forward to see clearly what was on them, and they could vaguely see two jade pendants.

Seeing the curious eyes of the people at the scene, the auctioneer gave a slight "Oh", but did not introduce it. Instead, he allowed the staff to open the LCD screen again.

When the photos of the auction items appeared on the LCD screen, everyone couldn't help but take a breath and their eyes lit up.
To be continued...
