This collection that was taken out for auction by Mr. Chen is the small regular script hand-scroll "The Great Compassion and Great Compassion" by Liu Chunlin, the last top scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. The scriptures include a hand-painted Guanyin statue of Mr. Cixi and a big red seal of Mr. Cixi.

Before this, Lin Yi had already estimated the price of this collection. Unlike the popular porcelain and jadeite, this calligraphy and painting item is not very popular. It is estimated to be 2 million yuan, while the price of Mr. Chen is only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Sure enough, when they saw that it was this collection, many of the photographers who thought they had unique eyes were interested, but they just randomly quoted a price of 170,000, 300,000 to 400,000, and the highest was Christie's, where Huang Kun and his appraiser Mike Lee quoted a price of 800,000.

According to the auction price of such collections on the market today, 800,000 yuan is already a very good price. You should know that the most famous "Peony Picture of Rich and Rich" by Empress Dowager Cixi has only sold for about 600,000 yuan.

Haitang knew Lin Yi’s thoughts, so he finally offered 810,000 yuan. He thought no one would bid again at this point, but Huang Kun bit her like a mad dog and added 820,000 yuan. Haitang directly had 850,000 yuan, Huang Kun had 860,000 yuan, and Haitang finally offered 900,000 yuan.

Huang Kun discussed with Mike Li, as if considering whether to continue chasing. Mike Li even took out the laptop he carried with him, checked a lot of the prices of calligraphy and paintings of Liu Chunlin and Empress Dowager Cixi, and pointed it out to Huang Kun on the spot.

Finally, Huang Kun shook his head, expressed his gratitude, and said, "I like it very much, so I will give this collection to you."

In the end, New Century Company won the hand-roll for 900,000 yuan, which was more than 1 million yuan less than Lin Yi's expected maximum price of 2 million yuan.

The New Century Company finally took action and took a photo of a collection, which also made the two employees who followed him feel relieved. After all, Lin Yi and Haitang kept holding on, which made them very anxious.

Other photographers don’t take this seriously. There is nothing great about 900,000 gadgets. Look, we have taken millions and millions of things.

Lin Yi was immune to those disdainful and contemptuous eyes. For him, this time he came to find a bargain, not to be angry, nor to compare who spent more money or who was even more prodigal.

...

Seeing that New Century Company had won a collection, Chen Tianlang, who had long regarded Lin Yi as his benefactor, was also happy. After all, he regarded Lin Yi as his good friend.

The auction continued, and two other collections of "Ink Grapes" by Xu Wei of the Ming Dynasty, which Lin Yi was more concerned about, and "Wenmushanfang Poetry" engraved by Wu Jingziqing were also taken out for auction.

As Lin Yi expected, except for the slightly more fierce competition in the painting "Ink Grapes", there was basically no one who valued "Wenmu Shanfang Poetry". What does this mean, and these bidders do not have a clear understanding of this version, just consider it an ordinary Qing Dynasty ancient book. Even Mr. Chen doesn't quite understand this version. Therefore, Lin Yi easily captured this rare engraving book for 230,000 yuan. It is estimated that when these people know that this ancient book is actually a lost engraving book, it is called a lost engraving book. As Wu Jingzi's representative work, it has great historical value in the ancient book industry, he will definitely regret it.

To put it bluntly, it is still like a mountain. Although the scene is full of people from large auction companies and all of them bring appraisers to serve as military advisors, ancient books are very different from porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting and other antiques. It is not enough to distinguish between dynasties, authenticity, and texture. Compared with these antiques, ancient books are more storytelling and academic. Therefore, great appraisers like Mike Lee didn't even know that this "Wenmushanfang Poetry" is a rare book, which was easily picked up by Lin Yi.

But one drink and one peck.

Although Lin Yi was lucky enough to get this ancient book, the Ming Dynasty Xu Wei's "Ink Grape" was still bought by Huang Kun.

It's funny to say that Xu Wei's calligraphy is particularly prominent in contrast to the dull atmosphere in the calligraphy world in the early Ming Dynasty. He is best at majestic cursive script, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand it. He uses a mess of pens. He likes his calligraphy very much. He thinks "calligraphy first, poetry second, literature third, and painting fourth". But often in previous auctions, his paintings are sold at a higher price than his cursive script. What does this mean? It shows that few people can appreciate his cursive script so far, but his paintings are known as "masterpieces".

Regarding Xu Wei's "masterpiece" with a high controversy over the authenticity of the fake, Mike Li gave the suggestion that although Xu Wei's "Ink Grapes" is very well-known and has collections in the Palace Museum and other museums in the mainland, this painting can be concluded from the painting, the idea, and the age of paper, it can be concluded that it was written by famous artists in the Ming Dynasty, so it can be auctioned at a high price. In the end, Huang Kun bid 4.8 million, directly defeating other competitors and winning.

Lin Yi could only sigh in response to this. It seems that there are still many masters in these ancient paintings. There is nothing to regret if he wants to pick up the bargain but he doesn't want to pick it up.

...

Old Master Chen took out a total of thirteen collections, including gold, stone, jade, and ancient calligraphy and painting books. Among them, gold, stone, and jade were basically sold at high prices. Among the ancient calligraphy and painting books, only Xu Wei's "Ink Grape" was sold at high prices.

As representatives of the New Century Company, Lin Yi and Haitang won a total of two collections, one was the "Sutra of Great Compassion and Compassion" and the other was the "Wenmu Shanfang Poetry", which had the lowest overall price, and cost 1.13 million yuan.

Several other companies also made their own achievements, among which the most were Huang Kun and Mike Lee from Christie’s, who had obtained four collections in total, spent 23 million yuan; Zhongding Quan, the three major auction companies in Taiwan, received three collections, spent 13.8 million yuan. Top obtained two collections, spent 9.8 million yuan; Bijiabo obtained two collections, spent 6.9 million yuan.

For Christie's, represented by Huang Kun, and the three major auction companies in Taiwan, the New Century represented by Lin Yi and Haitang this time is like a beggar who picks up bones. Although they have also bought two collections, they are too shabby. They only spent 1.13 million yuan, not even a fraction of Christie's and Ding Quan, so they can't help but ridicule and ridicule.

I originally thought that the battle would end, but I never thought that Old Master Chen suddenly called his grandson Chen Tianlang and whispered something to him.

Then I saw the young master of the Chen family go out for a while.

Just when everyone didn't understand what he was going to do, Old Master Chen said, "It's rare that everyone came from afar. Thirteen collections have been taken, but I still have one good thing to share with you... Well, my baby grandson has already gone to pick it up. Everyone will be able to help identify it later."

Seeing that Old Master Chen was cautious, everyone didn't understand what strange treasures he had to take out, so they all waited and looked forward to it... Friends reading books, you can search for "" and find this site as soon as possible.
