Chapter 152 Competition for Tang Dynasty Murals
Everyone was wrapped up thickly, so he wore a coat.
"It's not cold, I can't be considered an ordinary person." Wen Zhi smiled.
Shen You subconsciously looked at the other two people, but they were already far away.
He didn't hear it, but Gu Shaoyu still admired him a little. In order to maintain his demeanor instead of warmth, he originally wanted to do this, and he would be honest after a few blows.
Why is Mr. Wen in such good health?
In the evening they ate at a local gourmet restaurant. The traditional pickled fish couldn't stand a bite. Sausage and reindeer meat, salmon and Viking beer were not bad, but they felt average according to their taste.
That night, I followed the guide to find a good place to watch the Aurora. I went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, seasonings, charcoal, and set up a grill.
Kebab beer, paired with the beautiful scenery in front of you, is comfortable.
"I remembered, this is how it is played in horror movies. Several young men and women come to a house for vacation, and then all kinds of terrorist incidents happen. The house seems to have no defense measures." Gu Shaoyu suddenly spoke, quite worried say.
Shen You, who was masturbating, said calmly and in the tone of telling a horror story, "That's right, it's easy to climb up in your room on the second floor!"
Gu Shaoyu was stunned and quickly took out his mobile phone to check how the public security was here.
"There's an aurora!" Shen You exclaimed and stood up suddenly.
A trace of beating green light emerged under the stars in the sky. The light that can be seen by the naked eye is limited. The aurora is not particularly strong and looks a bit dim, but it is beautiful when photographed with a mobile phone.
After this trip, Shen You's dream came true. He saw the aurora as soon as he arrived. It was worth the money!
In the following time, they did not go shopping around. This kind of place was suitable for a quiet life. They could watch the scenery and cook in a house decorated with a lot of wood.
Shen You added a real estate sales here from Gu Shaoyu. He is a foreigner but from the same hometown, so there is no language barrier.
This place is perfect for someone like her who likes to stay at home. She really likes it.
I want to buy a second-hand vacation villa that is fully equipped with everything. Otherwise, I would have to buy it myself. The transportation and labor costs in this place are quite expensive.
This kind of good holiday villas are usually bought by foreigners, and they are not short of money. There is no suitable one to sell yet, and Shen You is not in a hurry.
When she has time, she also wants to visit other places, so she has to choose her favorite scenery to buy a vacation house.
Soon, it was the day of the antique auction.
The previous show was just for fun, so Shen You and the others didn't go and went directly to the evening show.
She changed into a cheongsam made of brocade with inverted sleeves and a shawl. The hairpin on her head was a real old thing. It was the simplest hairpin in the set of phoenix crowns that Wen Zhi took out from the Daqi Palace.
It's not eye-catching, but it's very useful in situations like this.
Gu Shaoyu's carefully prepared outfit finally came in handy. When preparing, Wen Zhi asked Shen You to choose, and she directly chose a light brown suit with a full sense of looseness.
I often see him wearing dark colors, and people wearing this color look much brighter.
The people who came to take the photo were basically from the same hometown. They were wearing suits with walnuts and Buddhist beads in their hands. There were also people who walked into the elegant room above wearing Tang suits of the same style as the Park Tai Chi team but with different textures.
Shen You is also one of the middle ones. She has a plate of agarwood and a cheongsam with eighteen pieces of brooch pinned to its buttons. She is also sitting in a private room.
Originally, she would not be given a seat in the private room above, but on the day of the preview, after meeting Huo Huanbu, the organizer took the initiative to contact Huo Huanbu to arrange it.
Because of this, she was the youngest person sitting in the private room at this auction.
"Everyone has left, are you still watching?" Qiu Linlin gritted her teeth.
Qin Ping didn't have the heart to explain. What he saw was that they all got the invitation letter in the name of their family and boarded the ship, while Shen You, who had no family background behind him, sat as a distinguished guest.
You know, the seats there are reserved for people who can wave and take pictures of hundreds of millions of objects.
With a background like hers, she can join the antique circle. No matter what means she uses, if she has the ability to get here, that is her strength.
The auction has begun.
Everyone was more cautious about the previous items, and two questionable items were not auctioned. A Qing Dynasty pastel porcelain plate fetched more than 40 million yuan, and a white porcelain from Ding kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty fetched more than 9 million yuan.
There are also cases where things are missed at auctions.
Shen You waited until the Ji-blue glazed cloud-dragon pattern bowl came up for auction, and the starting price was only one million.
Soon it was two million.
Two million and four hundred thousand, after this price, you have to hesitate to compete.
Shen You raised his sign at this time, and after several rounds of chasing, he finally bought it for 2.8 million.
Currently, there are relatively few Ji-blue glazes that can command high prices, usually in the millions.
The Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty were of high value. A mackerel bowl from the Xuande period was once sold for more than 40 million yuan.
When this object was on display, it was only said to be from the Qing Dynasty, but the year was not mentioned. The shape of the object was the most common, and people who were unsure would not take pictures anymore.
Shen You looked at it as something from the Yongzheng period, but even if he misjudged it, he wouldn't lose much.
Next comes the bronzes and murals.
The Western Zhou Dynasty bronze ritual vessel initially went for RMB 80 million, then RMB 120 million, and is still being auctioned.
"Damn, these big guys are too scary." Gu Shaoyu whispered, "It's the same bronze, how can the price be so different? There are hundreds of thousands cheaper in front."
"The meaning is different." Shen You said, "This is a ritual vessel that has been treasured by royal families of all dynasties. It has not been damaged or lost in so many wars. Not many bronze vessels can fetch such a high price."
In the end, only two foreign collectors and a domestic hidden rich man were left to auction, which was converted into a transaction of 150 million.
There is no doubt that this is the highest price in the game, and the beautiful girl above hammering it is very excited.
Shen You was also a little shocked, so much money, at this moment, seemed to be just a string of numbers.
For the truly rich, one or two billion is just a drop in the bucket.
She can afford to take pictures, but she won't spend so much money on them. If she really wants to collect them, she will choose to trade them in other dimensions.
No one took pictures of the mural on the back. It was too badly damaged. In the old days, the wealthy businessman there was competing with Shen You.
More than one million, and more than two million were taken.
It is said that such items are easier to take pictures, but now the price is obviously higher than expected.
She really suspected that the other party did it on purpose, and no one on their side would fix it if she took it back.
Shen You also learned from Wen Zhi and went straight to the difficulty level, which cost more than 3.4 million yuan and 490,000 US dollars.
It depends on whether the other party dares to spend such money to buy a mural that may not be repaired.
The first hammer fell, and then the second hammer. The competitor below hesitated for a long time, watching the auctioneer's actions, wanting to press but unable to make up his mind.
He patted again and again, and Shen You ran away.
If this mural was in good condition, he could get it for ten million, but it was so broken that he really didn't know if it could be repaired.
Being rich doesn't mean you are willing to spend so much money to buy a piece of adobe.
Without the painting above, it would just be a piece of adobe made of sand mixed with grass and mud from the Tang Dynasty.
After hesitating, he decided to raise his sign, but just one second later, the third hammer fell, and the deal was done!
