Chapter 815 Fang Xiang
Lin Wanqiu said: "Mr. Wang Shixiang's "Ming Dynasty Furniture Appreciation" book, whether classical furniture is in our personal collection or not, must be a must-have in our study room. The decoration...ah no, a reference book?”
Not all collectors at the meeting know about cultural relic appraisal, but there must be a lot of similar books at home. Lin Wanqiu's words were playful, which also triggered a knowing smile from everyone in the venue, and the slightly tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Following this, Lin Wanqiu dropped an even more shocking news: "All the Ming Dynasty furniture in that book has now been attributed to Mr. Xiao Zhou. Mr. Wang Shixiang paid for one million US dollars. , and transferred all his collection of Ming and Qing furniture to Mr. Xiao Zhou.”
“Wow——” The sensation caused by these words was even more shocking than all the exciting auctions tonight. .
Every piece of furniture is a treasure, and every piece of it can be called "the look of the era."
The meaning of age appearance means that they are not only precious cultural relics, but also textbooks. The way for experts to determine the age of other furniture is to see whether the characteristics of those furniture are consistent with this book. The furniture above is consistent in terms of materials, standards, and craftsmanship!
This is equivalent to the difference between original coins and recast coins in copper coin collection!
And now, these things all belong to this boy!
Lin Wanqiu smiled and said: "So we believe that Mr. Xiao Zhou is fully qualified to sit in the VIP seat of this auction."
Anzhai Yingyi smiled and said: "Thank you Ms. Lin for your answer. Then there is one last question. "Dainikkei" has now received 26 million Hong Kong dollars. Looking at Mr. Hou's situation, this has reached Mr. An's level." The maximum authorization limit given to him.”
“I heard that Mr. Xiao Zhou is from the Mainland. We all know the financial strength of the company quite well. If Mr. Xiao Zhou successfully bids for the "Dainikkei", can he complete the normal delivery with the auction? "
This is very rude. This is There are doubts about Zhou Zhi's financial strength, and there are even suspicions that Zhou Zhi is Lin Wanqiu's supporter.
Lin Wanqiu still showed no emotion and said with a smile: "I think if Mr. Zhou is a despicable person, then he doesn't need to bother so much at all."
"As long as he is in front of the gilded Guanyin statue, The blue-and-white Kuilong jar and the fragmentary scroll of the Mahavairocana slightly reserve the appraisal opinion, but the value of these three items will be greatly reduced today.”
"However, he did not do this. Instead, he faithfully completed our appraisal commission and confirmed the true value of the three important items. Then he sat here and participated in the auction with us. The highest bidder will win."
< br>"What does this mean? This just shows that Mr. Xiao Zhou is open and magnanimous!"
The venue suddenly burst into warm applause, and everyone realized that this was indeed the case.
For example, the Xuande blue and white Kuilong jar has been difficult to date, and its value is only 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars at best. It is difficult to sell even 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars, because many people even think that it is a fabrication of later generations. Counterfeit.
If Zhou Zhi had taken it at that time, he would have made millions by changing hands.
The same is true for the gilt-bronze Buddha. This thing had been on display in Fucheng Hang for so long, and Lao Yang's price was less than one-third of the current transaction price. If the young man hadn't reminded him, who would have known that there was something hidden inside. A relic!
At this moment, a man in the back row of the auction stood up: "As for Mr. Zhou's financial strength, I don't think you need to worry. We, Hongsheng Accounting Firm, can vouch for him." "For reasons Privacy protection cannot provide the name of the client, but I can tell you that Hongsheng Accounting Firm has previously received After receiving an entrustment, a special authorization fund can be provided for Mr. Zhou's use, with an upper limit of 12.8 million US dollars."
Although this person is sitting in the back row, That's just because he doesn't like collecting, but he is the same person as Li Qiyan who makes Hong Kong tremble when he stomps his feet.
Feng Hongsheng! He is a super boss who has just obtained an investment banking license and is recognized to be able to prepare for celebrity mainland charity performances together with Li Qiyan!
Everyone feels that their oxygen is a little low. Such a big boss is actually willing to endorse this kid? !
Unexpectedly, An Zhaiying glanced at the door and continued to pester: "As far as I know, the inflow channels for mainland funds are limited, and it is also very difficult to review the legality of funds. Mr. Zhou is really too young. His ability to make money..."
This statement seems a bit ulterior, meaning that Zhou Zhi may just be a white glove pushed to the stage by some forces in the mainland, and may even use auctions to transfer assets overseas. suspicion.
Since Feng Hongsheng will not name the client, such malicious speculation cannot be confirmed. According to the mentality of spectators, when things appear too magical, they are willing to explain the situation to the outside world. Guessing in a malicious direction.
This is also an important reason why Internet rumors became so popular in later generations.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wanqiu said: "It is the easiest thing to prove Mr. Zhou's ability to make money."
After speaking, he smiled at Zhou Zhi and said: "Mr. Zhou, you won the auction at this auction. Two things, one is a hanging scroll of Wen Zhengming’s poetry, calligraphy and painting, and the other is a small jade figure.”
After that, he looked through the auction records. , smiled meaningfully and said: "Especially this little beauty, which almost failed to be auctioned. You bought it for two thousand Hong Kong dollars. Can you tell us why you wanted to take the photo of this artifact?"
Zhou Zhi Smiling slightly: "Because you have made a wrong identification. I know this thing, and it is not from the Ming Dynasty."
There was an uproar in the venue.
Lin Wanqiu signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said to another person in the audience: "Uncle Huang, if it is convenient, can you tell me the origin and the reason for the appraisal of this little jade?"
Huang Yinghao is the main consignor of this auction. He was the one who provided most of the auction items. Now he stood up and said: "This item was collected together with many miscellaneous items from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When sorting it, I found that its jade quality is quite good, but the craftsmanship is really too much. rough, I couldn’t identify the specific subject matter.”
“Our final opinion is that this thing is probably related to northern shaman customs, and it should be a product of ethnic minority wizards, because it came in together with miscellaneous items from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It’s probably something from the Tatar or Jurchen tribe. It’s a little jade god from the Ming Dynasty.”
“Mr. Zhou, what’s your opinion?” Lin Wanqiu put the photo of the little jade man on the big screen. superior.
Zhou Zhi said: "This thing is indeed related to witchcraft, but it is not handed down by ethnic minorities, and it is much earlier than Mr. Huang estimated. It is closely related to important legends and customs of the Chinese nation in ancient times. Related, to be precise, it is a half-god and half-human image named - Fang Xiang.”
