Chapter 174

Chapter 174. To Yun Zhai

One flower, one month, one person, implying good flowers, full moon, and longevity. It sounds elegant and generous, and people can't help but be fascinated by the aspirations and strength of the ancients.

Everyone already recognized the quality and craftsmanship of this porcelain painting fan, so how can there be any doubts about Ren Ping pointing out Wang Qi's unique symbol of the full moon?
"Is this really what you just bought?"

Some merchants were still a bit unconvinced and looked at Ren Ping. When they saw him nodding affirmatively, they all had strange expressions and mixed emotions in their hearts.

You must know that this Wang Qi porcelain plate painting is different from the previous bionic porcelain and Zhuge bowls.

Ren Ping was able to find this item in just two hours, there is no doubt that he picked up a big leak!

Moreover, this thing is on Tiangong Street. They have been doing business here for half their lives, and they don't even know it!
There were sighs that could not be concealed. It was obvious that some merchants were feeling sorry for themselves. They admired Ren Ping's vision but also complained that they were short-sighted.

If this matter spreads out, the face of the entire Tiangong Street will be darkened.

Others reacted faster, and couldn't help asking Ren Ping:
"Mr. Ren, where did you find this item? Can you tell me? I don't have any other intentions, I just want to try my luck,"

"Yes, yes, or do you have the intention to sell this thing? I have a lot of connection with porcelain plate paintings. If you are willing to part with it, I am willing to bid 500 million, how about it?"

"Five million? Mr. Jiang, your price is too exquisite. You are worthy of being a famous miser. Now the starting price of Wang Qi's porcelain paintings on the market is 500 million. This porcelain painting fan is not only unique in style, but also has excellent painting skills." Well, it’s Wang Qi’s mature work in his later years, what is 500 million enough for?”

"That's right, I've bought everything. Do you think I'm an outsider? Apart from other things, the vision alone is more than 500 million. Mr. Ren, I won't bore you. How about 600 million?"

"I'll pay 650 million."

"680 million!"

After one person placed a bid, subsequent bids immediately followed, as if this place was an auction.

When the chaos was overwhelming, Wang Pei raised his hand:
"Wait a minute, everyone, now is not the time to discuss this. Everyone has a heart for treasure, but it depends on the situation. Besides, Mr. Ren didn't say he would make a move, did he?"

I thought she would say something to preside over the overall situation, but I didn't want to change the tone:
"In my opinion, it's better to finish the game first. As for the future, I might as well put my words here. This porcelain plate painting fan is definitely more than 500 million. 700 million is reasonable, and the maximum is 750 million. Anyway, if this price , I definitely won’t hesitate.”

Everyone felt more and more uncomfortable when they heard it, and thought to themselves, isn't this equivalent to asking for a price?And put on a posture that has nothing to do with me, it's really insidious.

Right now, many people are discussing, saying what qualifications do you have to set the price here, and you, a young girl, will not be able to bid.

Wang Pei was not angry when he heard that, but smiled slightly:
"Why can't I ask for this thing? Compared to all of you present, I am much more qualified."

"Why?"

"My surname is Wang, and Mr. Wang Qi is also surnamed Wang. Aren't our two families related? Is there anyone here who is also surnamed Wang? Why don't you come forward and bid with me?"

With a puff, before the words fell, Ping'er on the side laughed first, thinking that Miss is really good, this can all be related to the surname, and the nearly 1 million surnames in China are all from your family?

But it was a coincidence that among the dozens of people present, including those bodyguards and craftsmen, none of them was surnamed Wang.

Seeing that Wang Pei was so triumphant, he unconsciously took the atmosphere away again, and Qu Zhinong frowned:

"Mr. You, just now you have won three rounds in a row. Out of the five pieces of Daya Zhai porcelain, three pieces are left, and there are two pieces left. Which one do you think will be used for this round?"

As he spoke, he looked at You Zhengxing.

You Zhengxing still wanted to struggle for a while, seeing that the porcelain plate and painting fan attracted people to rob him, he knew he could not change it, so he ordered people to push away three of the five pieces of Dayazhai porcelain, leaving only the two most expensive pieces.

One is the double-round narcissus basin. Although the latest transaction price was only 490 million, it was already nine years ago, and now it can at least increase by [-]-[-]%.

The other one is the round cylinder of immortal Zhishou peaches in yellow ground ink color that was not mentioned just now, worth about 800 million.

Both were things he was sure he could win.

Sure enough, when the double-round narcissus basin was pushed out, Qu Zhinong and others showed hesitant expressions on their faces, as if they were not sure whether it was stronger than the Wang Qi porcelain painting fan.

You Zhengxing sneered:
"How are you guys? One is the Daya Zhai porcelain used by the Empress Dowager Cixi. It is grand and royal, and the other is at best a rural work by a folk artist. Isn't it clear whether the value of the two is high?"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Pei laughed again:

"That's not what I said. The value of porcelain has nothing to do with its origin. First look at the historical age, second look at the appearance and craftsmanship, and third look at the number of surviving. There is really no distinction between royal and rural,"

"Otherwise, according to your statement, royal porcelain must be better than folk porcelain, and official kiln porcelain must be better than folk kiln porcelain. Then it depends on the age and appearance, and it will be settled just by looking at the kiln mouth?"

You Zhengxing glared at her:
"Even if you look at the historical period, my Dayazhai porcelain is from the Guangxu period in the late Qing Dynasty, which is earlier than the period of the Republic of China. There is nothing to say about the appearance and craftsmanship. As for the number of extant pieces, as you just said, there are only [-] pieces in existence. , isn't it rare?"

"Mr. You was wrong again. When I said looking at the historical age, I didn't mean that the earlier the age must be more precious, but the special works of a special historical period. Is the porcelain of the Song Dynasty necessarily more precious than the porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties?"

"It's not bad that there are two hundred and nine pieces of Daya Zhai porcelain, but do you know how many genuine Wang Qi porcelain paintings are left?"

You Zhengxing really wanted to say a specific number to slap the other person in the face, but he didn't have the reserve in his mind at all, so he made up one casually, and was afraid of making a mistake, so he shook his head stiffly:
"I don't know, you know?"

"I do not know either."

You Zhengxing was furious: "Then what you said seems to be true!"

"I don't know. It doesn't mean that this thing is not rare. Regarding Wang Qi's porcelain plate paintings, it is difficult to collect data from private collections. Needless to say, the official auction records of major auction houses are not complete, but there are records so far. I remember no more than ten pieces, do you think Jane is precious?"

"Isn't that because Wang Qi doesn't do much? How can he compare to JDZ Kiln alone!"

"Isn't this the end? So it's said that rare things are more expensive?"

Seeing that several rounds left You Zhengxing speechless, everyone felt amused.

The key point is that Wang Pei's words sound eloquent, but in fact they are not unreasonable. Rare things are more expensive. This is an eternal iron rule in the collection industry.

There are not many surviving works of Zhushan Bayou. Wang Qi is one of the best. Every genuine piece will attract countless people in the industry.

It's just to judge the value in detail, but that's not what one family can say.

"President Qu, everyone, what do you mean?"

Seeing that Wang Pei was messing around, looking like he was trying to make trouble, You Zhengxing stopped talking to her.

Qu Zhinong and the others thought about it again, then shook their heads:
"To tell you the truth, Mr. You, the current market price of your double-round narcissus basin is certainly more than 490 million. In my opinion, there are always around 700 million, but the same is true of Mr. Ren's Wang Qi porcelain painting fan. "

"The two are so close in value that we can't make up our minds about which one is higher."

"Hmph, what should we do? There has to be a winner, right?"

"It's not easy, isn't it just a draw?"

Wang Pei interjected again.

You Zhengxing couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed angrily:

"Stinky girl! What are you, dare to make irresponsible remarks here? Do you mean a draw if you say it's a draw? Come on! Get her out of here!"

With a hula, as soon as the words fell, all the bodyguards rushed up behind him, and they were about to invite Wang Pei out of Yongrongzhai.

Wang Pei giggled, and before he could answer, Ping'er next to him strode forward:
"I see who dares!"

She is younger than Wang Pei, only less than 20 years old, but she is not weak, standing in front of Wang Pei, as if standing up to protect the lord.

You Zhengxing laughed angrily. He couldn't really attack two girls in front of everyone. He looked coldly at Ren Ping who had not spoken for a long time:
"Mr. Ren, are you mute? Do you really want a girl to stand up for you in this bet between us men?"

Ren Ping smiled slightly: "Someone speaks for me, I am happy to be at leisure, why don't I want to?"

"Hmph, no matter, I heard that you and Mr. Tian of Taihetian's family have always been unclear. It seems that you are used to eating soft food. Who are these two chicks, rich wife or mistress?"

"Bastard! What are you talking about!"

Ping'er was furious when she heard the words, thinking that it was related to Miss's reputation, and she must not let her go.

But when he turned his head and looked, Wang Pei looked dazed and distracted, his eyes were flooded with light, as if he was really thinking about who he wanted to be Ren Ping, and he couldn't help crying out in despair:
"Miss! What time has it been and you are still having sex!"

"Huh? What?"

Wang Peixing turned around, his face flushed, and he slapped Ping'er pretending to be coquettish: "Stinky girl, what are you talking about, how can I feel hot?"

"Not yet!"

Ping'er was about to take pictures with her mobile phone to record evidence for her, when suddenly, Ren Ping let out a sneer with a strong sense of irony, as if mocking You Zhengxing's blindness:
"Mr. You, I advise you to speak carefully, what about rich women and mistresses, be careful that if you don't pay attention, you will offend the nobleman."

"Noble? You mean the two of them?"

You Zhengxing also sneered again and again, implying that he didn't take these two young girls of unknown origin into his eyes at all.

Ren Ping shook his head: "Do you know who they are?"

"Zuo are just two guests of my Yongrong Zhai, what's the matter?"

"Wrong, they are walking with you and me, and have a deeper relationship with your Yongrongzhai, Zhiyunzhai, have you heard of it?"

"What? To Yunzhai!"

You Zhengxing's face changed when he heard the words, obviously he knew the origin of these three words, and he carefully sized up Wang Pei's master and servant, as if he couldn't believe it.

On the side, Qu Zhinong and the others were all bewildered, not only did they not know, they had never even heard of it, so they couldn't help but look at Ren Ping:

"Which high school is Zhiyunzhai? It seems that there is no such name in the industry in Nanling?"

"They are not from Nanling, they are from the capital."

"Capital Zhiyun Zhai? I haven't heard of it either,"

Qu Zhinong shook his head: "Just now you said that you are related to Mr. You's Yongrong Zhai, what do you mean?"

Ren Ping smiled:
"It means that they also make Daya Zhai's antique porcelain, and Yong Rong Zhai can be said to be colleagues in the same industry. President Qu said, does this count as a deep relationship?"
