    Among these twenty or thirty items, Zhao Qirui was interested in a multicolored dragon and phoenix pattern pen from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and bought it for 120,000 yuan.  This made Chu Chen feel a little envious. Based on the quality of this pen, if calculated based on the normal market price, if it was less than 200,000 yuan, others would not sell it at all. It would definitely be more expensive at auction.  However, among these things, the highest auction price was only 300,000 yuan, which was probably not a good thing, and there were several bosses who were indifferent to these things, so Chu Chen felt that there should be good things behind.  As soon as he thought of this, the auctioneer said with a smile on his face: "Bosses, the following items for auction will definitely make you feel that your trip is worthwhile." While speaking, I saw an etiquette lady, carefully holding a calligraphy and painting brocade.  The box came in and was carefully placed on the table.  The auctioneer put on white gloves, carefully took out the paintings and calligraphy from the brocade box, and then carefully opened the paintings, and then smiled and said to everyone: "Please take a look!" At the same time, the projector came on  The photo of this work was also displayed in front of everyone.  Chu Chen saw from a distance that this was a landscape painting.  In the painting, we can see overlapping mountains, looping streams, scattered trees, and thatched pavilions and houses on both sides of the stream.  The whole work looks quite spectacular from a distance.  "It's Shen Zhou's landscape painting in the rain!" The person sitting in front suddenly exclaimed.  This cry made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly rise, especially the bosses who had been indifferent before, and they all became excited.  Shen Zhou was an outstanding calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty.  The courtesy name is Qinan, the names are Shitian, Baishiweng, Yutiansheng, Youjuzhuju master, etc., and they are from Cheung Chau.  He should not take the imperial examination and specialized in poetry, calligraphy and painting. He was the founder of the "Wu School" of literati painting in the mid-Ming Dynasty. Together with Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin and Qiu Ying, he was known as the "Four Ming Schools".  Chu Chen did not expect that the first bombshell would be Shen Zhou's works. Among other things, Shen Zhou's authentic works were sold at high prices at auctions. For example, at last year's Christie's auction, Shen Zhou's Spring Grass and Autumn Autumn  The flower picture alone fetched a high price of more than 9 million yuan.  Judging from the size of the current work and the theme of the work, if it is an authentic work, its value will not be much lower even on the black market.  However, judging from the expressions of buyers after they came on stage to watch, the vast majority of them held a positive attitude, and only a few shook their heads and sighed. However, this may also be an expression used to confuse others.  Fortunately, according to the regulations, not many people can go up to the stage to watch. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know how long it will take for Chu Chen to come. It is worth mentioning that Zhao Qirui, who has always been sitting in the audience, is not calm when seeing such a work. He and Chu Chen  Chen and Chen came to the stage together.  This landscape painting in the rain is quite large, Chu Chen estimated it to be about nine square feet.  From the perspective of the painting method, the rocks are lightly chapped and dyed, the brush is vigorous and thick, and then thick ink is applied to the moss. The painting method should be derived from Huang Gongwang, and the painting style is clear and green.  The self-inscription on the painting: "Autumn is coming, it's good to be on the stream tower, and the pen and ink are hard at work. Reading with old eyes is like fog, and only the blurry words are raining in the mountains." The seal under the name is Ishida.  Judging from the handwriting on the inscription and the inscription, the lines of the characters are sharp and sharp, the structure is ups and downs, the middle palace is tightened and the four dimensions are opened, the so-called "long and big strokes", the strong and powerful rise, which is in line with Shen Zhou's style in his later years.  The seal also conforms to the characteristics of the genuine product.  So if we look at these two points alone, this work should be Shen Zhou¡¯s authentic work.  But these two points alone are not enough to judge the authenticity of a work. And for some reason, Chu Chen doesn't feel very good about this work. He always feels that there is something lacking in the style of painting.  Shen Zhou is good at painting landscapes, flowers and birds, and is especially famous for landscapes, which have two aspects: thick and thin.  In his early years, Wang Meng, his master, followed Dong and Ju and focused on fine brushwork. After he was forty years old, he won over other painters and focused on Huang Gongwang, and his style gradually became thicker, forming a thick brushwork style. After he was sixty years old, he absorbed Wu Zhen's painting techniques and  The pen and ink are sparse and vigorous, and the style is vigorous and grand.  The landscape paintings of his mature period not only absorbed the hardness and power of the Song Dynasty style and the Ming and Zhejiang styles, but also retained the subtle brushwork of the Yuan people, showing beauty in the blue and softness in the hardness.  In terms of composition and scenery, whether complex or simple, he emphasizes the "power" of the majestic mountains and rivers, changing the empty and lonely state of the Yuan people. He also focuses on the simple "quality" and hides skill in clumsiness.  Judging from the style of the painting, it should be that Shen Zhou was in his seventies, and his painting style should have matured during this period.  Judging from the style of the painting, it is strong but lacks a bit of softness. The mountains and rivers do look majestic at first glance, but they lack a bit of momentum upon closer inspection. This is completely inconsistent with Shen Zhou's style of this period.  And Chu Chen also thought of a detail. This work is almost identical to the "Mountains in the Rain" included in a catalog of ancient calligraphy and painting published by the Cultural Relics Publishing House.? For a painter, his creations are mostly accidental. Two works may have the same subject matter, but they cannot even have similar details. This situation is simply impossible.  "Could it be?" At this time, Chu Chen thought of a word, and then he immediately used his supernatural power, and the result indeed confirmed his guess. The year of this work was indeed about five hundred years, but the real  Compared with the real thing, the value is simply incomparable.  Combining the results of the superpower, and judging from the inscription, inscription and seal, this should be a ghostwritten work by Shen Zhou.  After Chu Chen came to this conclusion, and then thought about the performance of so many people at the scene, he couldn't help but wonder, who is the unlucky guy?  Suddenly, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Yu Guangjie and Qian Changxing happily discussing something there, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust in his heart.  When Chu Chen met Yu Guangjie for the first time, he didn't like him very much, and there was a trace of contempt in Yu Guangjie's eyes. This made Chu Chen particularly disgusted. Then he thought of Qian Changxing.  , Chu Chen had a hunch that sooner or later there would be a conflict between the two.  Thinking of this, he had a flash of inspiration, maybe this work would be an opportunity.  After Zhao Qirui returned to his seat, he couldn't wait to ask Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, how do you like this painting? If it is good, I will buy it as a birthday gift." Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said softly: "Brother Zhao  "There is something wrong with this painting. If you believe me, it's best not to buy it." After hearing this, Zhao Qirui was slightly stunned. This painting looked very good, and he asked a little strangely: "That's not right, I am."  Having seen Shen Zhou's calligraphy works, there is no doubt that this calligraphy was written by him. ""The calligraphy is right, but the painting is wrong." After all, it is not appropriate to say too much at an auction. Chu Chen's words were shocking.  Zhao Qirui thought that Chu Chen would not be innocent. After hearing this explanation, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.  Seeing this, Chu Chen gave him a look at him at the right time, and then pointed slightly towards Yu Guangjie.  Zhao Qirui understood what he meant as soon as he saw it, so he smiled and nodded.  When the last person on the stage returned to his seat, the auctioneer said with a smile: "I won't introduce the painting much. I believe everyone understands it. Now we start bidding without reserve price. Please bid." As soon as the words fell, the scene  There was silence as everyone lowered their heads and thought about the valuation of this work.  Almost half a minute later, one of the first people said: "Three hundred thousand!" "Fifty thousand, boss Meng, you don't mind offering this price?" The person who quoted the price sarcastically said, this person is probably the same as Meng.  The boss doesn't deal with it.  "Six hundred thousand!" Others ignored them and quoted prices again.  "Eight hundred thousand!" The price climbed quickly, breaking through one million, 1.5 million, two million in the blink of an eye When it reached 2.3 million, the number of bidders began to sparse, and when  After one million, the people who made the offer were those who had just started to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.  In fact, black market auctions do have a drawback, that is, everyone must use cash to trade, which results in the final price not being too high.  If you think about it, you will know that 5 million yuan alone weighs more than 100 kilograms. Not to mention whether it is safe or not, it is very troublesome to install and carry, let alone 10 million yuan.  "Two million and four hundred thousand!" "Two million and a half million!" At this time, Yu Guangjie also quoted a price, which made Chu Chen and others feel refreshed.  After a long while, another boss offered a price: "Two million eight hundred thousand!" After all, no one is stupid. The collecting world is becoming more and more popular. As the saying goes, "Antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times."  Even now, you may not be able to buy a Shen Zhou work like this for 4 million at auction, and since it is now a prosperous age, such a work will definitely appreciate in value, which is more cost-effective than keeping gold and other jewelry at home.  "Two million and nine hundred thousand!" Yu Guangjie was not far behind.  "Three million and two hundred thousand!" The boss just now seemed to be sure to win, so he directly added 300,000.  Then the two took turns to quote, and the price rose to 3.9 million in an instant. The man hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed. He brought 3.5 million in cash this time, including the premium.  However, 3.8 million was too much, so I could only shake my head in disappointment.  Seeing this, Yu Guangjie looked around triumphantly, looking like a villain with a triumphant look, and the people around him frowned.  "Four million and three hundred thousand!" Zhao Qirui quoted a price with a smile.  ¡°Gah!¡±   When Yu Guangjie heard the price, he felt as if he had eaten a fly. In fact, Zhao Qirui did not quote the price randomly. Ah Chao had a very sophisticated eye. From the walking posture of the bodyguard who helped Yu Guangjie raise the money, he estimated that this time Yu Guangjie brought the price.  The money should be around 4.5 million.  ¡°Yu Guangjie had not participated in the bidding before, so Zhao Qirui felt that his offer of 4.3 million was just right.  At this time, Yu Guangjie was very entangled. He did not have the right to pay a premium. If he bought this work, he would not be able to do anything when he encounters something he likes later.
