Meng Zitao was a little speechless because the staff only lifted half of the cloth on the table. This was obviously an artificial way to create a scene of fighting for everyone.
Some people went to the host to complain, but they were blocked by the host with a smile and the reasons he had prepared.
Seeing that there were a lot of various antiques on display, and many of them seemed to be high-quality products, everyone didn't care about getting emotional, or it was useless to get emotional, and they all found their favorite objects and started looking at them.
Meng Zitao also joined the team, and his reaction was faster. After scanning the things on the table, he went straight to the target.
What Meng Zitao was interested in was a wine pourer. A wine pourer is a kind of wine utensil. This kind of wine set is used to warm wine. The wine pourer is placed in a bowl, and hot water is poured into the bowl. It can easily heat the wine pourer. The wine is in.
This kind of elegant drinking utensil appeared in the Song Dynasty. The reason for its appearance was that at that time, the entire social atmosphere was permeated with the aesthetic taste of literati and was controlled by the aesthetic standards of literati. Even when drinking, they would not Just like people in ancient times used huge bronze vessels to drink heavily, but more importantly, they slowly savored the mellow aroma of the wine in a quiet and warm atmosphere.
Therefore, whether it is daily utensils or ornamental furnishings, they all pursue a gentle and peaceful charm, and pursue that leisurely and comfortable demeanor. It is only normal to have wine bottles with beautiful shapes.
The wine pourer that Meng Zitao likes is extremely luxurious and exquisitely made. It has a straight mouth, a thick neck, a square belly, a cylindrical high ring foot, an ear-shaped handle, and a slender flow. The whole body is made of golden sand, and the cover, neck, belly, handles, and flowing high circle feet are full of chiseled Ruyi cloud patterns, two dragons playing with beads patterns, sea water river cliff patterns, etc. The raspberry-shaped cover is inlaid with jade and precious stones, and is connected to the handle by a gold chain. Both sides of the abdomen are inlaid with white jade carved dragons. The inner and outer walls of the circular holder are engraved with patterns of Ganoderma lucidum and peony flowers.
Judging from the craftsmanship, decoration, and shape of the wine pourer, this gold wine pourer should be a work from the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, and it was also made for the palace, which is quite extraordinary.
Meng Zitao liked the wine very much and immediately asked the staff standing next to the table. He offered a price of 450,000. If Meng Zitao agreed, the deal would be completed as long as no one raised the price within one minute.
Meng Zitao looked around. Everyone else was concentrating on looking at the things in their hands, and no one noticed him at all.
Just like that, it was almost one minute. Just when Meng Zitao thought there would be no changes, unexpected changes suddenly appeared. A man came over, directly increased the price by 10,000, and said: "I'll see for three minutes."
The rules here are like this. If the person who increases the price has not seen it, they can have up to three minutes for identification, but this is the only chance.
Meng Zitao frowned slightly, does this person have a grudge against him? Intervening at a critical moment is like trying to cut off someone's financial path. No wonder he thinks so.
Meng Zitao looked at this man. Judging from his body shape and other characteristics, he should be a middle-aged man. There is no identical figure in his memory. It is unlikely that they are enemies. Of course, there is no guarantee that no one is instigating it. .
This person didn¡¯t waste any time. He said he would watch for three minutes, not even a second less.
"Sir, do you want to increase the price?" the staff asked Meng Zitao.
"Add ten thousand." Meng Zitao replied calmly.
"500000!"
"510,000"
No matter how the other party increases the price, Meng Zitao always adds 10,000, which makes this person a little angry, so he simply increases it to 700,000. This quotation is already far higher than the market price of wine notes.
Meng Zitao is not a stickman. Although he likes this wine, he will not waste money on it and will not follow the quotation.
"Huh!" The man snorted coldly, and it seemed that he was still dissatisfied with Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao was very happy. Even if there are no usual rules here, they are still based on their own strength. You grabbed the things and paid the price yourself. It seems that you are still the victim. It is really unreasonable!
At this time, I heard the staff say to the middle-aged man: "Sir, please be more restrained and don't violate the rules here."
The middle-aged man was obviously used to being domineering. After hearing the warning from the staff, he started to breathe a little harder. But thinking that this was not his territory after all, and there were security guards nearby who were watching eagerly, he had no choice but to calm down. But looking at Xiang Meng Zitao's eyes became even more unhappy.
Meng Zitao didn't bother to pay attention to him and looked at other objects.
Next, although there were bids, but they were as unreasonable as the middle-aged man, Meng Zitao never encountered them again. In addition to buying two pieces for himself, he also helped Jun Kaisheng appraise them.?A few pieces.
Seeing that there were only three or five antiques left on the table that no one was interested in, the host asked the staff to remove the cloth from the remaining half of the table. When everyone saw the various antiques on the table, their breathing became rapid. , even before some people could react, someone came forward to compete for bids.
Even Meng Zitao, who is used to seeing countless exquisite products, is very surprised at this moment, because the things on the table are so outstanding. If they are all genuine, each one can be regarded as a national treasure-level cultural relic. Meng Zitao can hardly imagine that, How did the organizers obtain so many treasures and launch them all at once? If spread, it would probably cause an uproar in the domestic antique industry.
Meng Zitao thought to himself, are these treasures really owned by Tiepi? That's too exaggerated. It was just that he couldn't think too much at this time and immediately walked quickly towards the item he wanted to get most.
This is a bronze sheep gong. It is an ancient Chinese wine vessel. The real name of the gong is still unknown. The gong is a conventional name and was popular from the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty. It is generally an oval or square body with a circle or four legs.
The cups are all covered with a cover, which is shaped like a horned animal head or an elephant head with a long nose rolled up. Some drinking vessels are made into an animal shape, with the head and back as the cover, the body as the abdomen, and the four legs as the feet. Moreover, the decorative pattern of the gong is similar to that of a sacrifice statue and a bird-and-animal-shaped statue, so some people mistake it for a beast-shaped statue. However, the gong is different from the animal-shaped statue. The cover of the gong is made in the shape of an animal head connected to the animal's back. The flowing part of the gong is an animal-shaped neck, which can be used to pour wine.
The cup in front of you is in the shape of a sheep, standing on all fours, with a cover on the back, and the mouth and abdomen are fastened together. The head of the sheep is forward, and the large and thick horns are curved and rolled up. A pair of small ears protrudes from behind the eyes to both sides. The cover is bulging, with a piece of Kui dragon climbing on the ridge, and the two sides are decorated with reverse Kui patterns. The cover ridge and tail are decorated with a piece of standing bird, and the tail hangs down to connect with the cover. The tail of the cover is decorated with a Taotie pattern, which unfolds symmetrically from left to right like a standing bird. On both sides of the abdomen and chest are bas-relief tiger patterns with the head pointing upward, and the abdomen is decorated with large phoenix and bird patterns, both of which are lined with fine cloud and thunder patterns.
Judging from the various characteristics of the artifact, Meng Zitao believes that it is an artifact from the Shang Dynasty, and the unearthed traces are obvious, so it is not a handed down artifact.
Round-shaped animal-shaped vessels are the rarest category of Shang and Zhou bronzes, and have always been regarded as rare gems by connoisseurs. There are only fourteen pieces of this kind of quadruped-shaped artifact from the Shang Dynasty that Meng Zitao remembered, and they are all collected in major museums and collectors.
The only complete Shang Dynasty bronze animal-shaped vessel in past auction records is a mid-Shang Dynasty bronze bull statue auctioned by Christie's in New York in 1988. It set a world record for Asian art auctions at that auction.
Precisely because it is so rare and valuable, this sheep cup is worth at least tens of millions based on the current market value. If it is sold at a regular auction, it is not impossible for the transaction price to exceed 100 million.
Since Meng Zitao has seen this treasure, of course he cannot miss it. Not to mention that it can prevent it from spreading abroad, and his own museum can also have one more treasure.
It may be that most of the people present are not clear about the value of this sheep gong. Therefore, there are not many people appreciating it. Even Meng Zitao can only be interested in four people, but this includes those who had previously competed with Meng Zitao for the wine. Attention middle-aged people.
The middle-aged man was the first to ask the staff: "What's the base price of this thing?"
The staff member smiled and replied: "Thirty million."
The price quoted by the staff made everyone around them look askance. What exactly is it? The base price is actually 30 million. This is too exaggerated.
" However, the middle-aged people obviously didn't think it was expensive, and they directly increased the price by five million, probably because they wanted to scare people away with the high price.
???????????????? But without mentioning the other two, it was impossible for Meng Zitao to let him get his wish, and he also added five million.
Seeing the middle-aged man staring at him, Meng Zitao said calmly: "What are you looking at? If you have the strength, just keep going. I will accompany you to the end."
"Okay, okay!" The middle-aged man sneered again and again, then stared at Meng Zitao and said, "I will add another five million, if you have the ability, you can also add!"
"That's as you wish." Meng Zitao chuckled.
"Hiss!"
Some people around took a breath of cold air. Price increases like this were really rare.
The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised. He originally just wanted to stimulate Meng Zitao, and it was best to let Meng Zitao retreat when he saw the difficulties, but he didn't expect that Meng Zitao would fight against him.
But in this way, he was in a bit of a dilemma. The price of 50 million was almost breaking through his psychological bottom line. It would definitely be unrealistic to add another 5 million. But under the current situation, it would not be feasible for him to reduce the increase in price. Make people laugh?
Thinking about it, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and lowered the speed. Anyway, no one around him knew him.
However, just as he was about to speak, a clear voice suddenly sounded, and immediately after, he felt his eyes go dark and his mind fell into darkness.
Going back to the few seconds before the gunfire rang out, Meng Zitao suddenly felt a violent heart palpitations, and a feeling that could threaten his life enveloped him. He realized something was wrong, ignored other things, and squatted down.
The moment Meng Zitao squatted down, a gunshot rang out, and then the gunshot sounded like fried beans, resounding throughout the hall. Various screams and calls for help came from all around, and the hall became a mess.
Meng Zitao did not panic. Besides, panic was of no use at this time. He quickly looked around, looking for a place to hide. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Suddenly a crisp sound sounded, and immediately after, he felt his eyes go dark and his mind fell into darkness.
