Chapter 74: Antique Black Market

Then, someone began to bid, and the bidding sounded one after another. Obviously, most people were optimistic about this pair of cloisonné enamel flasks. Even if they were not sure whether it was genuine, but such a low price, it was still worth a gamble of.

After the price reached 100 million, everyone seemed to have made an appointment, and each price increase was [-].

"115 million!"

"120 million!"

"125 million!"

"130 million!"

……

It seems that the people participating in this black market are indeed rich, and the bidding is still fierce, and the price quickly rose to 150 million.

After reaching 150 million, three people stopped bidding. Obviously, these three people were not sure about the pair of flat pots, and 150 million was beyond their acceptable risk range.

Slowly, the price of the pair of flat pots soared to 200 million. After reaching this price, many people withdrew from the bidding. .

Now there are only 5 people still bidding, and the asking price of the flask has reached 250 million.

In this black market auction, 250 million is a very high price. After all, only cash transactions are supported here. When these bosses come to participate in the black market, they only bring a few million cash at most. If they spend all the money at the beginning , They can only stare blankly when they see good things later, so they have to make choices carefully, and they can't put all their eggs in one basket.

Three more people withdrew from the bidding, and the price of the flask has now reached 320 million.

The last two remaining are big-bellied bosses. These two seem to be fighting each other, and neither agrees with the other. The price quickly rises to 360 million.

At this price, the two bosses couldn't bear it anymore. Although they had a lot of money, they didn't have much cash with them. One of the fat bosses asked anxiously: "Can I use a check? Or credit card?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, why did they laugh at him, because all the people here are rich people, if they can use checks or credit cards, there must be someone who can make a round, and it is not his turn to call the price.

Eagle smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Only cash transactions are supported. If you want, you can continue to bid."

The fat boss obviously didn't have enough money, so he said depressedly: "I give up."

Eagle heard this and said, "Now the highest bidder is boss No. 8, and his price is 360 million. Is there anyone else who bid higher?"

The court was quiet, and the Eagles started counting down: "One time for 360 million, two times for 360 million, three times for 360 million, deal!"

Eagle said: "Boss No. 8, please take your money to the next room to make a transaction."

The fat boss No. 8 stood up, dragged the suitcase and walked to the door of the room. The two strong men also carried a flat pot each, and walked in with him.

Generally speaking, such a large amount of cash transactions is very slow, because it needs to check the banknotes, but I don’t know how the next room does it, the speed is very fast, only 5 minutes, the fat boss No. 8 came out, still dragging The suitcase, back to his seat, guessed that the pair of flasks had already been packed into the suitcase.

Lao Ying waited for fat boss No. 8 to sit down, and said, "Okay, next, let's look at the second treasure!"

It was still the two strong men who carried a wooden box into the room, went to the stage to open the wooden box, and took out a lifelike jade tiger from inside and put it on the table.

The eagle said: "This is a white tiger carved from Hetian jade in the Han Dynasty. The carving is exquisite and the quality of the jade is high-quality. As usual, the first row comes to the stage first to watch closely. You can only look at it, but you can't touch it."

People in the first row came to the stage one after another after hearing the words, and watched the jade tiger carefully.

When it was Pei Miao's turn to take the stage, Pei Miao saw at a glance that the jade tiger was indeed an artifact from the Han Dynasty, so he used his right hand's ability to check it carefully, confirmed that it was the real thing, and then returned to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, Wang Huijun asked, "Is it true?"

Pei Miao nodded. Wang Huijun didn't look happy. It could be seen that he didn't like this jade tiger. As for jade carvings, he liked jade carvings after Ming Dynasty even more.

After everyone took turns to take a look at the jade tiger, they began to bid. The base price of this jade tiger was 10 yuan, and the price increase could not be less than [-] yuan each time.

Not many bidders participated in this jade tiger, only a dozen or so. After the price rose to 50, only half of the people remained. When the price rose to 70, there were only three people left. The price was sold, and it was bought by customer No. 88.

Customer No. 52 carried a large suitcase to the next door to trade. After 3 minutes, he returned to the auction house and sat back in his seat.

Jin Dawei sighed softly: "The fake ones are so expensive, but the real ones only sell for 88 yuan. These people have eye problems."

Pei Miao replied in a low voice, "That's how antique shops are. Regardless of whether it's true or false, this piece of Hanyu white tiger is indeed inferior to the cloisonne flat pot in terms of appearance."

Next, start to shoot the third treasure, which is a pair of Tang Sancai ceramics, namely Tang Sancai Horse and Tang Sancai Camel.

Everyone knows that the earliest blue-and-white porcelain appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and before the blue-and-white porcelain, the three-color porcelain of the Tang Dynasty really shined.

The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of national power in the history of our country. In terms of military power, what the soldiers pointed at, all nations knelt down, and in terms of culture, poets and poets emerged in endlessly. In the splendid prosperous Tang Dynasty, at that time, the whole world was learning the language of the Tang Dynasty, worshiping the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and it was an honor for foreign women to marry a Tang person.

Under such a historical and cultural background, Tang Sancai came into being. The brilliance of Tang Sancai perfectly showed the world the splendor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and even today, countless antique lovers can't put it down.

When Pei Miao saw this pair of Tang Sancai pottery, he was a little taken aback, because he could see through Taixu Eye's ability that the Sancai Camel had many layers of light circles. Counting them, it happened to be in the Tang Dynasty, while the Sancai Horse had many circles of light. There is no layer of aperture, it is actually a fake, and the porcelain that appears in pairs is actually one real and the other fake, which is rare.

Everyone went to look at the pair of Tang Sancai pottery in batches. It was Pei Miao's turn to go up and inspect it. After Pei Miao approached, she showed her right hand ability. First, she inspected the tricolor camels. No matter from the quality of the fetus or the craftsmanship of the glaze color, They are all high-quality goods, worthy of Tang Sancai.

He didn't intend to investigate the internal situation of the tri-colored horse, but he accidentally discovered that the glaze color of this tri-colored horse was similar to that of this tri-colored camel. If he didn't rely on any special abilities, he would definitely think that this tri-colored horse It's also true.

Out of curiosity, he also used the power of his right hand to check the internal situation of the Tang tri-colored horse. He was stunned when he checked, and it was hidden inside again, but this time it was a bit different, because the Tang tri-colored horse was hidden inside. It is not an antique or a rare jade, but a piece of paper rolled into a small scroll, which is in the tail of the three-color horse.

Then he was surprised to find that the craftsmanship of this Tang tri-colored horse was so superb that even with the power of his right hand, he could not distinguish it from the real one. In other words, this is the Tang tri-colored horse of the Tang Dynasty.

Just when he was astonished, he found a secret note in the mouth of Tang Sancai Horse, and the secret note was two characters—Zhu Fang.

Laymen may not know Zhu Fang, but almost all professional antique lovers know it, because Zhu Fang once shocked the porcelain and antique circles all over the country. The first time Pei Miao saw Zhu Fang was at the home of Mr. Huang in Jinling, who appraised antiques. The technology is definitely one of the best in Jinling. Even so, it is also eye-catching on Zhu Fang. It can be seen that Zhu Fang has already reached the superb skill of confusing the real.

The maker of Zhu imitation porcelain is Zhu Changshun, a native of Guanzhong, born in 1970. He started working as an apprentice in a state-owned porcelain handicraft factory at the age of 16. With his outstanding talent, he gradually grew into the best porcelain master in the factory. He is best at The first is to fire three-color ceramics.

He has applied to the factory manager many times, asking for the title of a senior technician. After all, with his level, it is not too much to get the title of a senior technician, but the factory manager has never approved it. The position of senior technician was given to Zhu Changshun's apprentice who had just graduated from the teacher, and this apprentice also had another identity, that is, the nephew of the factory director.

Zhu Changshun got angry because of this incident, so he resigned directly. Just as the reform and opening up, Zhu Changshun opened his own kiln to make porcelain. Later, Zhu Changshun met a man who came from Kyoto to collect antiques. The man was amazed. Because of Zhu Changshun's ability to make porcelain, he took him to the capital for a stroll, specifically visiting Panjiayuan and Liulichang, so that he could see all kinds of antique porcelain.

Later, at the instigation of this person, Zhu Changshun began to secretly imitate antique porcelain. He made these fake porcelain not to make money, but to prove his ability to the world, so he left a mark on every piece of his porcelain. The hidden money is the word "Zhu Fang". When those who buy antiques find these hidden money, they will naturally know that Zhu Changshun is very good.

At first, Zhu Changshun only made fakes of Tang Sancai, and later he began to make fake blue and white porcelain and other kinds of porcelain. Every fake he fired reached the bottom of the fake one, and countless antique masters punched eyes on his fakes , Zhu Fang's name resounded throughout the antique world for a while.

During those few years, the porcelain trade in the domestic antique shops reached an unprecedented low point, and the major auction houses could not see porcelain antiques, and the antique market was even more discolored.

Later, an expert from the Palace Museum also punched eyes on the Zhu imitation. Now the Palace Museum couldn't sit still, and was beaten in the face. Who could sit still? They launched operations across the country, and finally they caught Zhu Changshun himself, Zhu Changshun was sentenced to life imprisonment and put in prison.

Later, the Palace Museum used high-tech instruments to clean up the entire antique porcelain industry. It took two full years to find out the vermilion imitation porcelain and deal with it in a unified way. Not much of an impact.

It is said that because of Zhu Changshun's incident, the director of the porcelain factory where Zhu Changshun worked was also pulled down and severely punished.

The last time Pei Miao saw Zhu Fang was at Huang Lao's house, it was a blue and white porcelain bowl, unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to see it again today, comparing this Tang Sancai horse with the blue and white porcelain bowl last time, Pei Miao found that , Among the porcelain made by Zhu imitation, Tang Sancai is indeed the most exquisite. If Zhu Changsheng was born in the Tang Dynasty, then what he made would be Tang Sancai.

After all, this is the only fake so far that Pei Miao can't see any flaws with his right hand ability.
