Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor

Magic City Meihu Conference Center, Jinyi Hall.

A high-level antique auction is underway.

The two hundred seats in the hall were packed. However, most of them were not here to buy anything.

The most people here are people who come to watch the fun and cultivate their artistic taste. Then there are some reporters and self-media practitioners. There are also some market investigators from the same industry. To put it bluntly, they are here to spy on information.

There were only a few dozen people who really came to participate in the auction with a purpose.

The first few collections were all warm-up, and they all started bidding at zero reserve price. Under the encouragement of the auctioneer, everyone raised their placards quite enthusiastically, but due to the limited increase in price, the final transaction price was not high, all in the tens of thousands.

to between hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Soon, a blue and white porcelain plate was put on the auction block.

The auctioneer said that this is a Qing Dynasty imitation of the Ming and Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern with ten edges. The imitation was made in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Although this is an imitation, it is indistinguishable from the real thing from the shape to the glaze color. The treasure you saw caused controversy among experts many times during the identification process. In the end, a variety of techniques had to be used

It was only through scientific and technological means that it was confirmed to be an imitation. Therefore, as an exquisite late Qing blue and white vessel, it still has a high collection value.

A Qing Dynasty imitation of the Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern with ten edges. The auction starts at zero reserve price. Please bid.

"30000."

"Well, 30,000 yuan for this gentleman, 50,000, 60,000, 80,000, 100,000, this gentleman will pay 100,000. Oh, 300,000, the old gentleman No. 3220 will pay 300,000 yuan directly."

The auctioneer looked around the audience and read everyone's bids.

"300,000, 350,000, 360,000, 380,000, is there anything higher? 500,000 is better, or 3,220. The old man seems to be sure to win. He paid 500,000 yuan."

"The Qing Dynasty imitation of the Ming and Xuande blue and white cloud dragon pattern with ten edges, the current bid is 500,000 yuan, okay, the gentleman in No. 6008 called out 1 million yuan, oh, 1.2 million, the gentleman in No. 3220 bid 1.2 million

Yuan, wow 2 million."

The experienced auctioneer was also a little surprised at this time. Although the Ming Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern ten-edge wash has once sold for a sky-high price of more than 60 million yuan, this is after all a late Qing imitation, and the price of 2 million is obviously

It's already quite an exaggeration.

"Is there anyone who wants to raise the price to 2 million yuan? 2.2 million yuan. Please show the pretty girl in the back row your number plate. Okay, No. 3390. This beauty bids 2.2 million yuan."

"2.2 million yuan for the first time and 2.2 million yuan for the second time."

The beautiful lady who bid 2.2 million yuan was Zhuang Zuqin. It was her first time to participate in the auction, so she was a little nervous. She was still far away from the target of 20 million yuan, but was the hammer about to fall at 2.2 million yuan? Did Gao Si miscalculate?

Already?

"I'll pay 5 million."

"Oh, the gentleman at No. 6008 bid 5 million yuan. Oh, 5.2 million. The beauty at No. 3390 bid 5.2 million yuan. The first time is 5.2 million yuan."

Everyone else has extinguished the fire. Only 6008, 3320 and Zhuang Zuqin are left holding license plate No. 3390. No. 6008 is a young man, and No. 3220 is an old man. It seems that there is more than one person fighting for this treasure.

.

The old man's expression was a little ugly. He hesitated and raised the number plate.

The auctioneer's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted: "8 million yuan, the old gentleman at No. 3320 bid 8 million yuan."

The 8 million yuan has broken the auction record for late Qing blue and white imitations, and the auctioneer seemed very excited.

"8.2 million." Zhuang Zuqin held up a sign.

"Beauty No. 3390 bids 8.2 million yuan. 8.2 million yuan. Is there any higher price? 10 million yuan. Mr. 6008 bids 10 million yuan. 10 million yuan is the first time."

The old man's expression became very ugly. He did not expect to meet two competitors on the same imitation. This is not normal. Does anyone else know about this besides him?

"15 million." The old man finally raised his sign angrily.

"15.2 million." Zhuang Zuqin added 200,000 yuan without hesitation.

The auctioneer immediately yelled: "15.2 million, is there any more to be added? 15.2 million, 20 million, 3320. This old gentleman, 20 million. Is there any increase in price to 20 million? 20 million, 20 million for the last time."

When the auctioneer called out the price, his eyes flickered back and forth between Zhuang Zuqin and the young man in the front row. When he saw that neither of them had the intention to raise the price, the auctioneer dropped the hammer and sealed the deal.

Afterwards, Zhuang Zuqin didn’t understand the collection, and he didn’t have the task of raising placards, so he completely became a melon-eater.

But the face of the old man who took the photo was uncertain at this time. He discovered that the Qing Dynasty imitation of the Ming and Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern ten-edge wash that he had just spent 20 million on, the appraisal certificate was actually issued by the Magic City Cultural Relics Protection Research Center.

of.

Shouldn't it be the appraisal certificate issued by my own Qianbao Pavilion? Is the porcelain plate in my hand really an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty?

I bought a genuine imitation for 20 million yuan, what the hell!

The old man felt as if he had eaten a fly.

He originally planned to leave after taking this treasure, but now it seems that he can only wait until the end. When the auction of the authentic product starts, he will make plans.

Time passed very quickly. Less than two hours after Zhuang Zuqin ate the melon, another item appeared.

The auctioneer said that this is a ten-edge wash with blue and white clouds and dragon patterns from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It has a certificate of authenticity issued by the Magic City Cultural Relics Protection and Research Center. The starting price is 30 million yuan. Please bid.

"30 million yuan. 31 million, 32 million, 35 million..."

The price kept soaring. Zhuang Zuqin stared at the price and did not make a move. Supported by the turnover of the previous auction, the price of this authentic piece of Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern with ten edges and washes today is not much lower.

"37 million, 38 million, is there anyone else bidding? Okay, 38.2 million yuan. This beautiful woman again, 40 million. This old gentleman with the number plate 3320 bids 40 million yuan. Is there any increase in price to 40.2 million yuan?"

This kind of competition among rich people often increases the price of each bid as the price of the auction item increases. The old man shouted a high price of 40 million yuan just to scare his opponents away. But no matter when Zhuang Zuqin bids,

A total of 200,000 yuan will be added to the previous price.

Zhuang Zuqin's bidding method was ungrateful and made the old man who made the bid as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"40.5 million." The old man also raised the price slightly.

"40.7 million." Zhuang Zuqin responded to all changes by remaining unchanged.

"42 million." The old man continued to bid.

"42.2 million yuan, are there any bids? 50 million yuan, 50 million yuan, 51 million yuan. This lady, please show me your number plate. Okay, the lady with No. 3650 offered 51 million yuan, 55 million yuan."

Yuan, is there a higher price of 56 million yuan..."

When the price exceeded the plan, Zhuang Zuqin stopped bidding and sat in the back row to concentrate on eating.

The price eventually soared to 60 million before finally stopping.

…

Huizhou private cuisine.

Zhao Mengge and Gao Si were overjoyed after hearing Zhuang Zuqin's description.

It turned out that Zhao Mengge followed Gao Si's plan and took the two treasures to the Magic City Cultural Relics Protection Research Center for a new appraisal of the highest standards. This appraisal was of course completely opposite to the appraisal report issued by Shi Qianbao's Qianbao Pavilion.

.

Therefore, Shi Qianbao, who participated in the auction, mistakenly thought that the first imitation was the genuine one that he had already identified, so he paid a large price to snatch it from others. Unexpectedly, only after he got the treasure, he realized that he had been cheated. Because of this

The treasure that was bought for a whopping price of 20 million is really just as described in the introduction. It is a replica from the late Qing Dynasty.

Since there was a big client behind Shi Qianbao, he had to get this treasure. He had to wait until the end to snap the real thing.

However, Shi Qianbao, who had already spent 20 million in unjust money, no longer had the strength to compete with others, so he finally gave up, broke his teeth and swallowed it.
