Chu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said: "I can't help you with this matter, but if you have anything I can do in the future, I will definitely help." "Brother Chen, with your words, I can rest assured. Yes." Liu Sizhe said with a smile. "You guy" The two returned to the second floor of the tea house. At this time, several seniors also left one after another. As for the reason why they did not participate in the auction, it was also very simple, because these seniors were all highly respected. Senior, if you also participate in the bidding, then others will not be able to let go. Seeing the two people coming in, the elders greeted them warmly. After his performance in the morning and the picture of the creek bank, Chu Chen was also recognized by these seniors, and he was regarded as standing in the circle. Weighing his heels, this can be said to be Chu Chen's biggest gain today. "Xiao Chu, I wonder if you have any thoughts on changing hands with your picture of the creek bank?" In fact, Mr. Ou also knew that Chu Chen would probably not transfer it, but he still felt unwilling to give up, so he tried to ask In one sentence, Chu Chen was slightly startled when he heard this, but when he saw Mr. Ou's expression, he knew what was going on, so he politely replied: "Ou Mr., I'm really sorry. I plan to keep this painting as a family heirloom. "Although he had guessed Chu Chen's answer in advance, Mr. Ou still looked slightly disappointed. "I just said that Xiao Chu will definitely not agree. How about giving up now!" Mr. Qian said with a smile. Mr. Niu chuckled and said, "Come on, we've known each other for so many years. You still don't know his temper, Lao Qian. It's strange that he would give up." Hearing this, Mr. Qu glanced at him and said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, If you want to change hands in the future, you must inform me first!" He also gave Chu Chen his home phone number. Mr. Qian couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, and said: "Okay, let's go, don't delay Xiao Chu and the others from attending the auction." "Okay. Let's go then!" Watching the old people go away, Liu Sizhe smiled and said: "Chu Brother, if they know that you have so many good things, you will probably be annoyed in the future." Chu Chen said with a smile: "I have good things, so do they, as long as it's not something like the River Bank Picture. , They want it. Just exchange it for something I¡¯m interested in. ¡¡± Although it¡¯s already the auction, the layout on the second floor is still the same as before, except that there is an extra podium at the front. A middle-aged man was standing behind the podium talking to the staff. Chu Chen also knew this man. He was Chen Dayou, the organizer of each exchange meeting. Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe returned to their morning seats while talking and laughing. Those present were all the same people from the morning, but Zhu Dafu and Boss Chai were missing. Zhu Dafu went back without eating because he had something to do, while Boss Chai sat somewhere else because he didn't want to see Chu Chen. Location. After the two said hello to others, everyone chatted. While waiting for the auction to begin. Chen Dayou did not keep everyone waiting. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. He felt that the time was almost up, so he said: "There are old friends and new friends here. The rules of our auction are no different from others. Of course, one thing to note beforehand is that you can buy whatever you have, and there is no such thing as default here. If there are any violations, I'm sorry, the association can only expel you. . Okay. Let¡¯s get back to business, the auction will begin now.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a young man put the first item for sale on the table. Chen Dayou saw that everyone was paying attention to the stage, so he introduced: "A Boshan furnace with copper and gold in the Han Dynasty. Everyone should be familiar with the Boshan furnace. It was quite popular in the Han and Jin Dynasties. This furnace has a distinct era Features. " "This furnace is 28 centimeters high and consists of a furnace body, a furnace cover and a base. The whole body is decorated with smooth and delicate gold wires. The gold wires are thick and thin, and the columns are carved with three-dimensional dragons. The dragon's claws are layered and openworked to form the bottom of the plate. It has a powerful body, soaring into the clouds and mist, with its head held high and holding the bottom of the furnace. The furnace body is slightly bulging, and the cover and the mouth of the furnace are hollow and openwork. It shows a scene of undulating mountains and shrouded clouds, with monsters appearing in the clouds and immortals appearing. There is a phoenix bird standing on the top of the cover, with its head held high and its tail feathers raised high, as if it is raising its neck and crying. The sculpture is elegant and flexible. The shape is lively and beautiful, and even more rare is that it is in perfect condition. It is a rare art treasure. "The so-called Boshan incense burner, also known as Boshan incense burner, Boshan incense burner, Boshan incense burner and other names, was common in my country during the Han and Jin Dynasties. Utensils for burning incense. Common ones are bronze and ceramics. The furnace body is in the shape of a bean in bronze, with a cover on it. The cover is high and pointed, hollowed out, in the shape of a mountain, with overlapping mountain shapes. There are birds and animals carved in the middle, symbolizing the legendary fairy mountain on the sea, which spreads across the mountain.Got its name. When the incense is burned in the Boshan furnace, the smoke comes out from the hollow mountain shape, like a fairy spirit, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland. This furnace was a commonly used incense burner in the Western Han Dynasty. It could be used to smoke clothes and quilts to deodorize and avoid filth. The Boshan furnace was initially made of plain copper. Later, with the development of craftsmanship, the surface was gilded, or embellished with gold or silver. Chen Dayou spoke in great detail, but there was no emotion shown on the faces of everyone in the audience. This is because any expression on their faces during the auction may be exploited by opponents. Youdao is that shopping malls are like battlefields. In fact, auctions The light and shadow of swords and swords at that time were not much better. At the end of the sentence, Chen Dayou paused and looked around: "The first item to be auctioned is a Han Dynasty copper-wrapped gold Boshan furnace. The starting price is one hundred thousand! Please come to the stage to appraise it!" It should be said that in the auction, the first item The selection of lots is very particular. It must be able to warm up and not obscure the light of the lots behind it. Therefore, generally auctions will put up a lot with a medium-to-high value compared to the lots in the entire auction. . This Han Dynasty copper-wrapped gold Boshan furnace is in complete condition and has very fine workmanship. It can be said to be a treasure among Boshan furnaces, so it has high collection value. Being able to use this object as the opening item for the auction, Chu Chen is also looking forward to the subsequent auction items. stand up. Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were both interested in the Boshan stove, so they also lined up to go on stage to have a look. Because the time to come forward for appraisal was short, it was Chu Chen's turn soon. However, the door was relatively open, and Chu Chen used his superpower again, so he only took a few glances and walked back to his seat. When Liu Sizhe saw Chu Chen coming back, he looked at him inquiringly. Chu Chen gave Liu Sizhe an imperceptible smile, and Liu Sizhe immediately understood what was going on. Generally speaking, most of the first auction items are unlikely to be imitations. Therefore, when Chen Dayou started bidding, the atmosphere at the scene was instantly mobilized. "One hundred and twenty thousand!" "One hundred and fifty thousand!" "Two hundred thousand!" "Two hundred and twenty thousand!" The bidding on the scene continued one after another. After a while, the price of this Boshan stove was pushed to 300,000. The bidding on the scene gradually became sparse. "Brother Chu, what do you think the valuation of this Boshan furnace should be?" Liu Sizhe asked in a low voice. "Based on the quality, it should be between 450,000 and 500,000 yuan. If you really like it, it should not exceed 550,000 yuan at most, otherwise it will be a bit of a loss. But don't forget, our final purchase here is The price can be discounted by 3%," Chu Chen replied softly. What Chu Chen said is one of the benefits of the association and a means to unite people in life. Don¡¯t think that three percent is very small. Like an auction item with a market value of five hundred thousand, you can make fifteen thousand if you resell it. The world How many people in the Internet can earn so easily? As for whether the members of the association will push up the price of the auction because of this, you are worrying too much. You must know that these people at the scene are either antique shop owners or senior collectors. Who is not a sophisticated person, how could it be possible? Doing things that harm others but not yourself. Therefore, after so many years, unless you are motivated or you really like the item, the final offer will never exceed the market price. Otherwise, if someone deliberately breaks this rule, they will most likely be attacked by a group. "Four hundred and fifty thousand!" After hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Sizhe directly added an additional hundred and fifty thousand, showing his determination to win. After hearing this quotation, everyone looked back at Liu Sizhe and saw that it was Mr. Liu's grandson. Many people backed down, but Liu Sizhe was very polite and did not appear aggressive, which did not dissuade others. People think he is bullying others. Of course, Liu Sizhe certainly wouldn't think that he would scare others away by quoting a price like this. In fact, two more people followed up and quoted prices. In the end, Liu Sizhe got this building for 495,000. Copper and gold Boshan furnace from the Han Dynasty. Next, Liu Sizhe followed the staff directly to the side to transfer money. After a while, he came back happily holding the Boshan stove. After returning to his seat, there was another burst of congratulations and other words, which made Liu Sizhe very happy. At the same time, the bidding for the second lot has also begun. The second lot is a pen holder from the mid-Qing Dynasty. The quality is not of high quality. The starting price is only one thousand yuan. In the end, it was sold for 3,600 yuan. Bought it. Soon, the third item was put on the table, which was a Qing Dynasty green jade landscape figure Ruyi. This Ruyi is made of sapphire, with a fine, warm and oily texture. The curve of the handle is slightly curved, and the lines are graceful and smooth. The front of the wall is carved with deep carving and intaglio techniques to create a landscape with figures, undulating mountains, lush pines, and flowing clouds in the sky. linger. The whole vessel is exquisitely decorated?, with soft connotation, exquisite composition, vivid decoration and fine carving, the carved landscape figures are lifelike and full of artistic conception. Based on the carving and other characteristics, Chu Chen judged that this jade Ruyi should be made by the palace manufacturing office in the mid-Qing Dynasty, and the result given by Yi Neng was indeed the same.
