Chapter 308 Auction

Chu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "I can't help you with this matter, but if you have anything within my power in the future, I will definitely help."

"Brother Chen, with your words, I feel relieved." 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 seniors. If they also participated in the bidding, Then other people can't let go.

Seeing the two people coming in, the elders greeted them warmly. After the performance in the morning, as well as the picture of the river bank, Chu Chen also got the recognition of these old seniors, and he was regarded as standing in the circle. Weighing his heels can be said to be Chu Chen's biggest achievement today.

"Xiao Chu, I don't know about your picture of the bank of the river. Do you have any plans to sell it?" In fact, Mr. Ou also knew that Chu Chen probably wouldn't sell it, but he was still a little bit unwilling, so he tried to ask. one sentence,
Chu Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but seeing Elder Ou's expression, he knew what was going on, so he politely replied: "Old Ou, I'm so sorry, I intend to keep this painting as a family heirloom."

Although he had guessed Chu Chen's answer in advance, Elder Ou's expression was still slightly disappointed.

"I said that Xiao Chu would definitely not agree. How about it, let's give up now!" Qian Lao said with a smile.

Niu Lao laughed and said, "Come on, we've known each other for so many years, Lao Qian, you still don't know his temper, it's no wonder he gives up."

Elder Ou glanced at him when he heard the words, 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.

Qian Lao couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and said, "Okay, let's go, don't delay Xiao Chu and the others from participating in the auction."

"Okay, let's go!..."

Watching the old people go away, Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "Brother Chu, if they know that you still have so many good things, you will probably be annoyed in the future."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "I have good things, but they also have them. As long as they don't want something like a river bank map, they can exchange it for something I'm interested in..."

Although we have already reached the part of the auction, the layout of the second floor is still the same as before, except that there is an extra rostrum at the front. At this time, a middle-aged man is standing behind the rostrum and talking to the staff. Chu Chen also knew this person, and it was Chen Dayou, the organizer of each exchange meeting.

Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe returned to their seats in the morning chatting and laughing. All the people present were those from the morning, but Zhu Dafu and the boss Chai were missing. Zhu Dafu went back without eating because of something. Boss Chai sat in another seat because he didn't want to see Chu Chen.

After the two greeted the others, everyone chatted while waiting for the auction to start.

Chen Dayou didn't keep everyone waiting too long, he raised his hand to look at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, so he said:
"In this audience, there are old friends and new friends. The rules of our auction are the same as other auctions. The highest bidder wins. Of course, there is one thing to explain in advance. You can buy as much as you have. We don’t talk about arrears here, if there is any violation, then I’m sorry, the association can only expel you. Well, let’s get down to business, the auction will start now.”

As soon as the words fell, a young man put the first item on the table.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention to the stage, Chen Dayou introduced: "There is a Jinboshan Furnace in Tongcuo in the Han Dynasty. Boshan Furnace must be familiar to everyone. It was quite popular in the Han and Jin Dynasties. This furnace has a distinctive era. feature."

"This furnace is 28 centimeters high. It is composed 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 thin ones are like hair. The pillars are carved with three-dimensional dragons and dragon claws. Layers are opened, and the bottom of the plate is formed by open carving. It has the momentum of a dragon's body, soaring through the clouds and driving the fog. The dragon's head is high, and its mouth is holding the bottom of the furnace.

"The cover is hollowed out and carved, showing the scene of undulating mountains and clouds and mist, monsters appear in the clouds and mountains, and immortals appear. A phoenix bird stands on the top of the cover, with its head held high and its tail feathers raised high. The furnace is exquisitely carved, lively and graceful in shape, and even more rare in perfect condition, it is a rather rare art treasure."

The so-called Boshan furnace is also called Boshan incense burner, Boshan aromatherapy, Boshan incense burner, etc. It is a common utensil for burning incense in the Han and Jin Dynasties of our country.Bronze ware and ceramic ware are common.The body of the furnace 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, and the shapes of the mountains overlap.

When spices are burned in Boshan Furnace, the smoke comes out from the hollowed-out mountain shape, which is like fairy air, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland.This furnace is a commonly used incense device in the Western Han Dynasty. It can be used to smoke clothes and quilts to deodorize and avoid pollution.Boshan Furnace was originally made of plain copper, and later with the development of technology, the surface was gilded, or mixed with gold and silver.

Chen Dayou spoke in great detail, but there was no emotion on the faces of the audience. This is because any expression on the face during the auction may be used by the opponent. It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields. The sword light and sword shadow of the time are not much better.

When it came to the end, Chen Dayou paused, and looked around: "The first lot, a Jinbo Mountain Furnace of Tongcuo in the Han Dynasty, has a starting price of [-] yuan! Please come to the stage to appraise it!"

It should be said that in the auction, the selection of the first lot is very particular. It must be able to play a warm-up role, but it must not cover the light of the next lot. Auctions with above-average value will be auctioned.

This Han Dynasty copper-stitched Jin Boshan furnace is complete in appearance, and its workmanship is quite fine. It can be said to be a treasure among Boshan furnaces, so it has a high collection value. It can be used as the opening auction. Chu Chen is also looking forward to the subsequent auctions. stand up.

Both Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were somewhat interested in this Boshan furnace, so they also lined up to take a look on stage.Because the time to come forward for the appraisal was very short, it was soon Chu Chen's turn. However, the door was relatively open, and Chu Chen used his supernatural power again, so he just took a few glances and walked back to his seat.

When Liu Sizhe saw Chu Chen coming back, he looked at him questioningly. Chu Chen smiled at Liu Sizhe in a subtle way, and Liu Sizhe immediately understood what was going on.

Generally speaking, most of the first lot is unlikely to be an imitation. Therefore, when Chen Dayou started bidding, the atmosphere on the scene was mobilized instantly.

"12 million!"

"15 million!"

"20 million!"

"22 million!"

Bidding sounds came and went, and after a while, the price of this Boshan furnace was pushed up to 30 yuan, and the bidding sounds on the scene gradually became thinner.

"Brother Chu, what do you think the estimated price of this Boshan furnace should be?" Liu Sizhe asked in a low voice.

"According to the appearance, it should be between 45 and 50. If you really like it, it should not exceed 55 at most, otherwise you will lose a bit. But don't forget, our final purchase price here is [-]% Three discounts." Chu Chen replied softly.

As Chu Chen said, it is one of the benefits of the association, and it is also a means of cohesive life. Don’t think that 50% is too little. Like a lot with a market value of [-], you can earn [-] by reselling it. How much money can you earn so easily?

As for whether the members of the association will push up the price of the auction because of this, you have to worry too much. You must know that these people at the scene are either the owners of antique shops or senior collectors. Do things that hurt others and benefit yourself.

Therefore, after so many years, unless it is impulsive or really likes the lot, the final quotation will never exceed the market price.Otherwise, if someone deliberately breaks this rule, nine times out of ten they will be mobbed and attacked.

"45!" Hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Sizhe directly added 15, showing his determination to win.

Hearing this offer, everyone turned their heads to look at Liu Sizhe, and saw that it was Mr. Liu's grandson. Many people retreated, but Liu Sizhe was very polite and did not appear aggressive. People think he is bullying others.

Of course, Liu Sizhe definitely wouldn't think that he would scare away others by making such an offer, and in fact, there were two other people who followed suit. In the end, Liu Sizhe got this Han Dynasty palace at a price of 49. Copper wrong Jinboshan furnace.

Next, Liu Sizhe followed the staff directly to transfer money, and after a while he came back happily holding the Boshan furnace.After returning to his seat, there was another burst of words of congratulations, which made Liu Sizhe very elated.

At the same time, the bidding for the second item has also started. The second item is a pen holder from the mid-Qing Dynasty. The quality is not high. Arrived.

Soon, the third item was put on the table, which was a Qing Dynasty sapphire carved landscape figure Ruyi.

This ruyi is made of sapphire, which is fine in texture, moist and oily, with a slightly curved pole and smooth lines. The front of the vessel wall is carved with deep carving and intaglio techniques to engrave landscape figures, with undulating mountains, luxuriant pines, and flowing clouds in the sky. linger.

The whole device is exquisite and clear, with soft connotations, exquisite composition, vivid decoration, fine carving, and the carved landscape figures are lifelike and artistic.According to the carving work and other characteristics, Chu Chen judged that this jade ruyi should have been made by the court building office in the mid-Qing Dynasty, and the result given by the supernatural power was indeed the case.
