Chapter 515 Auction
"Li, Mr. Li?"
In fact, during the laning between experts and Li Yan, some people have gradually thought about this direction.
In fact, there are many young people who are rich to come to this auction, most of them are rich young men coming to play and open their eyes.
But young people who are knowledgeable enough and able to openly compete with the auctioneer and have enough assets to participate can never avoid thinking about "Li Yan".
Although collectors are rich, today is not a great place. The people who come are basically the previous generation of entrepreneurs, industrialists, or simply completely transform into collectors.
They usually have no contact with Li Yan - Li Yan has never been in the collection circle, or he has not spent much money at all, and seems to have no idea of turning the astronomical numbers in his hand into other things Interest-so it’s normal not to recognize it. "This is the president of Future Technology, Mr. Li Yan." Manager Zhao took advantage of everyone's dazed and immediately added.
The audience was in an uproar again. Li Yan saw the hammer that was halfway through the auctioneer's hand and was moving again. He saw the expressions of people around him changing rapidly. He saw the king who was strolling with him. The teacher immediately lost his aggressiveness.
Don't... It was exposed so quickly, everyone changed their faces too quickly.
Li Yan hasn't felt the joy of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger yet. The three falls and three rises have not ended yet, so why did he reach the finish line directly?
Although most of the people present only heard of Li Yan, his legendary story and amazing value have turned all the "heard" into "long-term reputation".
The center of the auction was inexplicably transferred to him, and no one discussed the funny incident of the person in charge of the auctioneer admitting in front of the bidder that the information of the goods was wrong. "Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to have a lot of research on treasure appraisal." The white-haired old man smiled and called.
Looking for the steps is old.
However, judging from the fact that everyone at the scene ignored the fraud of the goods, the bottle probably bears some special responsibilities.
Li Yan didn't want to get into this muddy water, so she replied: "A little research."
"Be humble, be humble." The expert also saw Li Yan. After giving the steps, he immediately smiled, "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, I just didn't recognize Mount Tai. You are right, we really need to re-evaluate this porcelain."
I'm also thick-skinned. Li Yan thought he would at least stick to the character of an "old scholar".
It seems that he is a tool man who relies on changing his position with the wind.
Manager Zhao even jumped off the stage, "Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to come here in person. Are you interested in our exhibits this time? Show you this gilded clock with the blood of the French royal family in the 19th century. This is a treasure Ah..."
When I said this, I had moved the blue and white vase to the backstage quietly.
Li Yan frowned at a glance.
At this time, many collectors had already stood up and surrounded Li Yan, with their postures very... modest.
It's like students surround the teacher.
However, their curious eyes that they glanced from time to time made Wei Yunzhi a little difficult to resist, so they could only try to stand close to Li Yan. "I have seen this thing similar. During the Qianlong period, the bronze gilded painting enamel ornament imitation gem music movable doll clock made in the New Taipei workshop was about 1790 years."
Speaking of this, Li Yan stared at Manager Zhao.
Manager Zhao's sideburns were already sweating. He looked back at the three experts who stood up to discuss, and the experts pretended not to see it. "I know the situation of this auction." Li Yan said, "Today I'm just here to buy some interesting goods. If you want to play your own tricks, just play with it. Don't involve me." br>
"That's not, Mr. Li, this gilded clock is really good, although it's not as good as you said..."
"What a bad thing." Li Yan sneered, "The bronze dolls of this thing are rusted It's obvious that the rust mark is artificially used, but the materials are solid, which is worthy of its starting price, but it is unnecessary if you insist on having a history of more than a hundred years."
Manager Zhao was speechless He stood there at a loss. "Do you need my explanation?" "No, no, no!" Manager Zhao quickly waved his hand, and the thing was moved to the backstage again.
"Why?" Wei Yunzhi asked in a low voice.
"Look at those rust, even and round, do you look like the eggs you fried this morning?"
"..."
"Mr. Li," onlookers hid Someone at home couldn't help but talk, "I'll introduce myself. My surname is He. I'm particularly interested in collecting clocks. I happened to pay attention to the doll clock you mentioned. It seems that it was exhibited at Sotheby's, Hong Kong Island half a year ago. It was you who bought it. Have you? "
"I didn't buy it."
"Do you know which collector is in the hands of now?"
"It's still at Sotheby's." Li Yan smiled, "They kept it for me, saying it was from the New Taipei Workshop to be a souvenir. But I was really not interested and was unwilling to accept such a gift."
The scene suddenly became silent. "Old He, how much is that thing estimated?" asked the woman next to her.
"Six million starts."
Everyone has a specific imagination about Li Yan's wealth and influence.
On the other side, the appraisal expert who knew the inside story was no longer calm.
Li Yan's eyes are too vicious. If you say it correctly, you'll just have a fucking glance.
What level of observation ability? "Mr. Li," the fat man sitting next to Teacher Wang, who was white-haired, walked up with an inkstone, "I would like to ask you, what era is this inkstone? How valuable is it?"
Li Yan smiled and waved his hand, "Didn't you just say that you can't see it in close proximity if you are not a VIP? I remember that Article 35 of your company stipulates."
Manager Zhao's face was as white as earth.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li," a senior executive from the Jiade Auction outside broke into the venue directly, which was regarded as relieving the embarrassing situation. "You don't say hello if you come here, Mr. Liang has something to do. No, I'll ask me to see you on his behalf."
"This is Mr. Zhou Yunlin and Mr. Zhou from our South China region." After saying this, Manager Zhao immediately hid aside. He knew his subsequent positioning very well. "Hello, Mr. Zhou, today is just a temporary show." Li Yan shook hands with Zhou Yunlin.
Then he was taken into the backstage by the tall and thin Zhou Yunlin.
Oh, I saved the situation like this.
Forget it, give Liang Chongyuan a face.
The auction outside also suddenly changed its constitution, and the items that did not need to go through the auction process were taken out again. "This is Ms. Wei, right?" Zhou Yunlin had a very business-oriented smile, and he was obviously a master of dealing with people.
"Yes, take her to the auction today."
"College master!"
The three words scared Wei Yunyi so much that he shivered. No one had called her that before.
Although there is nothing wrong with it.
"Oh, Mr. Li," Zhou Yunlin looked completely familiar, "It's also a blaming us for not reviewing clearly..."
"No need to say this, I know the situation, Mr. Liang told me."
"Oh..." Zhou Yunlin thought for a while, "This, the people in this room are carefully selected It's a good product. If you want to pick some, just take a look at these."
Wei Yunzhi suddenly poked Li Yan's waist. "What's wrong?" "I just saw that the staff behind you are changing labels..." The little beauty laughed, "changed the era of Xuande Fu from Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty to Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. ”
"That's honest." Li Yan smiled.
Zhou Yunlin maintained a very professional smile, and could not see any embarrassment, "Yeah, Mr. Li, you are too powerful, it's not too late to fix the dead. See if you are interested in the things here. Yes, I'll ask Mr. Liang, I'll give you a price."
"Don't you have a jade hairpin from the Tang Dynasty?"
As soon as this was said, even Zhou Yunlin couldn't hide it. The face was embarrassed. "It's auctioning outside," Manager Zhao said quickly, "Would you like to see?"
The hairpin that was originally placed on the table to prepare for the next auction was suddenly handed to Li Yan with a velvet cloth. The hairpin's head was carved with lotus patterns, and the hairpin's body was curved like a crescent moon, and the spider web was faintly exposed under the light. Like emerald silk thread.
Li Yan waved her hand and walked out with everyone.
The auction outside was suspended, and everyone also showed strong curiosity about Li Yan's curiosity about the hairpin.
Is it really a good product in the Tang Dynasty?
Li Yan came out and wanted to deny the background story made up above. Who knew that when he walked around the stage, he saw that the introduction of the jade hairpin had been replaced by the "Qing Guangxu Jade Hair", and the background story was simply "Zeng Gui". Owned by Mrs. Feng, Dingyang County, Luocheng, I obtained it in an old house in the 1980s”.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Uh... The descendants of Feng's family moved their family in the 1970s and left an old house. When the old house was taken back to the village, they found that the hairpin also contained a Feng's handwritten copy, which records the record With the inheritance of everything in the old house, this hairpin was recorded as Mrs. Feng, Guangxu, Qing Dynasty. "
Good guy, isn't this understanding very clear?
A jade hairpin from Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty is not worth much money - especially after temporarily erasing the background of the legendary relics of the Tang Dynasty imperial concubine, is it not obvious that they will buy it?
Li Yan and Wei Yunzhi both laughed, and the others just smiled awkwardly.
"Are you still taking photos?" Li Yan asked.
"Photograph...? Do you want it?" As soon as Manager Zhao asked, he was immediately stunned by Zhou Yunlin's murderous gaze.
You dare to ask Li Yan if she wants this thing, are you looking for death?
"Start ten thousand? It's too low." Li Yan shook his head, "Don't say I'm greedy for everyone's advantage. Although this thing was not from the Tang Dynasty, it was not only from the Qing Dynasty."
< br>Everyone present had wide eyes, especially several "experts".
Li Yan took out her mobile phone and took a photo, and quickly connected it to the on-site screen. She directly cast the photo onto the screen and kept enlarging until she could see the details of the edge of the pattern on it.
"The curly cloud pattern on the tail of the hairpin is very similar to the style of the Tang Dynasty, which may be the reason why the organizer is willing to believe the relics of the Tang Dynasty. However, the jadeware of the Tang Dynasty mostly uses Western Regions Hetian jade, and the jade material of this hairpin is obviously Xiuyan Laoyu."
As he said, Li Yan tilted the hairpin 45 degrees and looked at the dazzling spotlight, "Xiuyan Laoyu Mine is often accompanied by chromite veins, and the jade material is in the process of forming Chromium is permeable to the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the jade-colored silky distribution can be seen under strong light, commonly known as 'Tianhe Sand'. This feature is particularly common in jade artifacts in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. A typical case is the jade belt plate unearthed from the tomb of Zhu Yichang, the king of Mingyixuan in 1978. "
The people below were already fascinated by the audience, and the people on the stage were also stunned.
"The Ming Dynasty craftsmen became old-fashioned. During the Zhengde period, there was a craze of "imitation of Tang jade". However, the end of the cloud pattern of real Tang jade would have forked, like willow leaves; the end of the cloud pattern of this hairpin was round. Dull, is a typical Jiajing antique engineer. "
Eh?
Li Yan smiled, "This is really an object from the Jiajing period."
The crowd obviously had questions, but no one dared to say it.
Wei Yunzhi asked directly, "Why aren't it from the Qing Dynasty? The information over there is very complete?"
Everyone was also very curious.
"The marks left by jade carving craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty with lathes, and the imitations of Qing Dynasty will be polished and smoothed with jade sand." Li Yan pointed the tail of the hairpin at the spotlight, and a fine grid suddenly appeared in the incisive lines of the curling cloud pattern. , "Look at these parallel and equidistant scratches - when the lathe speed is unstable, the head of the emery grind will periodically tremble, just like the jumping needle of an old phonograph."
The images on the large screen are very clear, Many people nodded as if they suddenly realized it.
"The lathe washer was driven by horizontal shaft, and the speed of the head was about 200 rpm; in the Qing Dynasty, it was changed to foot-pedal connecting rod transmission, and the speed was increased to more than 300 rpm. The difference in work mark density can be seen from the naked eye."< br>
What a "visible to the naked eye", the experts in the audience said that their hearts were almost broken. "Hey," Wei Yunzhi looked at the picture on the screen, pointed to the hairpin's head and exclaimed: "There is a small pit here in Lianxin!"
"Very good, with a full observation." Li Yan enlarged the picture again, "Look at these radial scratches - these are traces left by wooden fixtures that fix jade. In the Qing Dynasty, there would be no spiral beds made of iron in the form of iron. This wood fiber was indented."
The scene was silent.
But Li Yan's pretentiousness is far from over.
If the previous content is within the scope of everyone's acceptance, the following words will change from a state of praise and admiration to awe and even fear.
"I really have some stories to tell about the owner of the jade hairpin. The county annals of Dingyang County, Luocheng once recorded that in the eighth year of Jiajing, the county magistrate's wife donated all her property to provide disaster relief, including a jade hairpin, the so-called jade hairpin. The color is warm and can shine with people'. There are also illustrations on the county annals. Anyone who is interested may wish to find it. In the sixth volume of "The Complete Works of Luocheng County Annals" published by Luocheng Cultural Research Institute in 2005, Volume 6 of "Dingyang" Volume 3, "Dingyang", published by Luocheng Cultural Research Institute in 2005, Sixteen pages. ”
It took a long time for everyone to find the pictures. The first person to find them exclaimed, "It's exactly the same!"
The others came up one after another, and then they got goosebumps. "This county magistrate is named Feng." Everyone has goosebumps again. "The story behind is my imagination. When I donated my hairpin, I naturally went to the pawn shop to exchange money, and exchanged money for food to help the victims of Dingyang County. Perhaps later, the descendants of the Feng family spent it again. The money redeems the hairpin and it has been passed down until the 1970s. However, because the family moved and forgot the hairpin, we will only see it in the auction today. "
Li Yan looked at Zhou Yunlin, "This is the story that this jade hairpin should be praised. It is related to historical changes, inheritance, and a heart of loving the people."
Everyone was stunned. "Is it strange... monster?" The experts in the audience even thought that Li Yan had cooperated with the organizer to act.
Who can even remember the county annals of Dingyang County, Luocheng?
He is crazy!
This is the damn poet holding it! (It's a joke, "I'll eat it if it's a person." It's a joke to describe the other party not a person, which makes people laugh)
"So, is the starting price still 10,000?"
Zhou Yunlin took the lead in reacting, "Yes, Don’t change, don’t change."
"I will pay 500,000." Li Yan said.
The audience gradually came to their senses, and there were a small discussion, but none of them dared to bid.
The auctioneer there also reacted and quickly completed the procedure and sold the hairpin to Li Yan for 500,000 yuan.
Li Yan took out the card and brushed it on the spot, held the hairpin in one hand and pulled Wei Yunzhi in the other hand, and said goodbye to everyone in the auction hall.
Does of people who were shocked were left behind.
In fact, Wei Yunzhi was also shocked.
"Yan," she didn't realize until she walked out of the revolving door. Just now, Li Yan bought an auction item like a jewelry, and it was a jade hairpin from the Ming Dynasty. "You bought this hairpin, are you interested in it? Is it a story? ”
"Today, I have given this hairpin a new historical value." Li Yan said, and simply tied Wei Yunzhi's hair up and tied the hairpin in. "On December 15, 2013, Li Yan will The hairpin was given to Wei Yunzhi. "
"Excellent historical significance, which should be written into the history books." The girl was proud and raised her head. "Is it fun to show off like this?" "It's so good! It's so good!" "When a craftsman carved the last knife more than four hundred years ago, I should hope that someone can understand his compliment."
The girl nodded in a vague way, her eyes were particularly bright. "It's just that at this moment."
The girl was hit by something in her heart.
