The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Seeing the man's tight lips and unsuspecting expression, Yun Zhou felt dreamy and blinked lightly. Is the emperor jealous?

He really wanted to ask, but the other party didn't seem to have much experience, didn't he even know that he was jealous?It's so innocent.

"Xu Ze and I are just friends, don't be jealous."

Yun Zhou's clear eyes were bent into beautiful arcs, and the corners of his lips were raised accordingly. Two small dimples were looming on his cheeks, and his whole body exuded a clean and warm smell.

Bei Ji's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and his eyes fell on the young man's light-colored lips involuntarily, thinking of the soft touch when the other party kissed the little Yulong, the roots of his ears were slightly red, but he really wanted to try it himself.

The distance between the two shortened bit by bit, the man's jade crown hanging down the broken hair lightly brushed the young man's reddish ear tips, Yun Zhou's eyes widened slightly, watching the handsome face of the man approaching gradually, fingers slowly Holding each other together, I feel a little nervous, and I also have a little bit of anticipation.

As Beiji approached, a strong evil spirit was about to move under Yunzhou's feet, and a wisp of black mist on his ankles gradually climbed up his slender, white legs, bringing an itchy and cold feeling.

"Hmm... what?"

The young man lowered his head subconsciously, but before he saw it, the dark yin energy had already shrunk back to around the Emperor Fengdu, concealed under the black robe.

Yun Zhou picked up the corner of his trousers and looked at it, but found nothing unusual, and his expression was slightly puzzled, because this was not the first time.

He returned his gaze to the man in front of him.

Bei Ji's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his expression was stiff. He really hated the strong Yin Qi on his body now.If it weren't for it, he could have gotten close to the boy, and got the tender kiss from the other party just like the little Yulong.

But now-

"What's wrong?" Emperor Fengdu asked calmly, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Well, just now, a cold air has been drilled into the bottom of the trousers, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"..." Beiji was silent for a moment, and then hid the strong Yin Qi in his robe again, "It may be an illusion."

"Oh." Yun Zhou was thoughtful.

Facing the probing eyes of the other party, Emperor Fengdu felt that he couldn't stay any longer, and said in a low voice: "I have something to go back to deal with first."

It disappeared before the young man's eyes in a blink of an eye, and this time it felt more like running away.

After the emperor left, Yun Zhou felt that the room was still icy cold, and had a certain guess in his heart.He stood on the spot and felt it again, then opened the door to go out and come in again, the temperature was indeed a little lower than other rooms.

The boy recalled the dream he had before, the feeling of entanglement with the black mist was exactly the same as the touch on his ankle today, and the coldness of the room after waking up every time was not an illusion.

So, in those few nights, it was the emperor who entered his dream?

Yun Zhou's face suddenly became hot, so he was in a dream with the other party——

After a while, he patted his hot face with cold water, looked at the wet face in the mirror, his ears were red and hot.

Heh, innocent love is indeed a lie.

本次嘉禾秋拍将于12月10日晚19点开始，一直持续到12月18日中午12点，持续九天，分为不同的场次进行。

The calligraphy and painting auction is divided into two special sessions, "Modern and Modern Paintings and Calligraphy of Huaguo" and "Impressionism and Modern Art", which are held in the evening of the first day and the whole day of the second day.

Porcelain is on the third day, jewelry on the fourth day, famous wines and exquisite watches will start on the fifth day, and other miscellaneous items such as furniture, handbags, strange stones, ancient coins, etc. will be auctioned on the next four days.

This order is basically arranged according to the estimated transaction price, the highest price is in the front, the lowest price is in the back, and calligraphy, painting and porcelain are in the forefront in most cases.

And there are different themes and special sessions in each category, which is convenient for collectors, rich people, celebrities, etc. to choose.

Golden Harvest Autumn Auctions is divided into day and night shows according to the time, and the highlight is the night show.

Night auctions generally last for two hours, starting at 7:9 p.m. and ending around [-]:[-] p.m. Large transactions are basically concentrated during this period.

The matinee session is divided into two sessions at 10:2 am and 5:6 pm, and the duration is about [-]-[-] hours.If the number of lots is insufficient, there will only be a morning session on that day.

On the evening of December 12th is the special session of "Super Night Auction" - "Treasures of Huaguo Modern Painting and Calligraphy". The opening part is the highlight.

In the morning of that day, Yunzhou and Mr. Du got on the plane together, and when they arrived in Kyoto, they checked into the best hotel near the auction venue.

The hotels here must be reserved at least one month in advance, because of the auction, all the nearby hotels are full, and many merchants and rich people gather here, trying to get their favorite items at this auction.

As a VIP customer of Golden Harvest Auction House, Mr. Du had already greeted the hotel, and the two quickly checked in.

At around 6:[-] in the evening, Yunzhou and Mr. Du came to the auction venue - Golden Harvest Art Center.

The LED display above the art center building loops the promotional introduction of this auction, and there is a giant stand erected at the door, marking the auction session and time.

A team of tall security guards stood at the door, holding walkie-talkies and wearing black suits. After careful inspection, the receptionist politely ushered them in.

At this time, the auction had not yet started. Seeing the figure of Mr. Du appearing at the door, many people in the industry, wealthy businessmen and entrepreneurs who had heard of Mr. Du's name rushed over one after another.

"Old Du, you're here."

"You actually came to the scene in person, you must have a fancy treasure, can you disclose it?"

"Mr. Du, I wonder if I can have your hands on the calligraphy and painting that I took later."

"Old Du..."

As a well-known cultural relic appraisal expert and collector in S City, and a gold-lettered signboard in the antique circle of S City, Mr. Du has a certain reputation in the circle. Although he is not as famous as Master Feng, he has attracted many people to come forward to greet him and ask for advice.

Mr. Du nodded at them, turned a deaf ear to the requests for appreciating calligraphy, painting and porcelain, and walked to the auction hall with Yunzhou.

"Mr. Du, who is this next to you?" Someone asked in surprise when they saw Yun Zhou beside him.

Who is this young man?It seems that he has never seen it before, nor has he seen anyone around Mr. Du.

Mr. Du stopped, and introduced to everyone with a smile: "This is my new closed disciple, Yun Zhou. The young man has just entered the industry not long ago, and I hope everyone will take care of him, haha."

"No problem, Master Du's disciple, that's natural."

"So young?"

"Looking at her age, she is probably seventeen or eighteen years old. She looks really good, clean and handsome."

"I don't know if Mr. Du still accepts disciples? My kid is also obsessed with antiques."

"It is said that he is a closed disciple. Mr. Du never accepts disciples easily. This young man is really not easy."

Under the introduction of Mr. Du, Yunzhou greeted several well-known collectors and entrepreneurs, and then came to the auction hall on the second floor amidst everyone's surprised eyes and whispers.

In principle, anyone can enter the auction hall, but if you want to bid, you must go to the service desk to apply for a license plate and pay a certain deposit. The specific amount varies according to the value of a single auction.

If you do not participate in the auction, the deposit will be returned to the original account within one month.

The two sat in the middle row away from others.

After Yun Zhou sat down, he looked around.

The auction hall of the night show is very large, and the rows of seats are enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people. Many people have already entered the venue.

At the forefront is the auction platform where the auctioneer stands. The platform is very high, ensuring that the auctioneer has a wide field of vision and can see everyone below raising their cards.

On the right side of the auction table is a huge LED display, above which is a picture of the first lot, and below are the currency units of different countries.

When the auction starts, those numbers will continue to change with the asking price, and finally set at the highest price.

Yun Zhou moved his gaze to the back of the auction hall, and found that there was also a display screen there, which was used to display the bids of online buyers.In addition, there is a row of telephone entrustment seats on the left and right sides of the auction hall, which are responsible for answering entrustments from telephone buyers.

That is to say, at present, there are three parties bidding on site, online, and telephone buyers, and the highest bidder wins.

I have to say that with the development of technology, many things have become much easier.

Some customers who don't want to show up or are busy with business don't need to come to the on-site auction in person, and they can also take pictures of their favorite treasures by telephone and Internet.

Of course, the buyers who came to the site mainly wanted to feel the hot atmosphere of the auction, which was very exciting.

"Is there anything you want to photograph today?"

Although Mr. Du did not come to the preview, the corresponding auction catalog and invitation letter had already been mailed to his home to show his importance to the old customers, so he had already made plans for the auctioned items.

"Not yet."

Yun Zhou shook his head lightly. He didn't know much about calligraphy and painting at the moment, and his focus was all on the porcelain special session the day after tomorrow. "Is there anything Grandpa Du wants to shoot?"

Mr. Du smiled and looked at the number plate '1028' sent by the manager at hand, "It depends on the situation, if you like it, just raise it. What I am most interested in this time is the Fenglaiyi made by the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Turning the heart bottle, but I am afraid it will be difficult to photograph."

Having experienced such things many times, Mr. Du took it very seriously, and reminded Yunzhou: "In the auction house, you must not hold the idea that you will be able to get a good shot. You are easy to be impulsive, especially for young people like you. The superiors are not allowed to call out any price.

You must know that the hammer dropped by the auctioneer is legally binding. Once the hammer is dropped, it is useless to regret it. "

Mr. Du talked about his own experience: "Let me tell you a way, set the expected price of the lot in advance, give up immediately if it exceeds it, and stop asking the price. You should feel the atmosphere of this game first, maybe when the price is called tomorrow Don't be nervous."

"Okay, Grandpa Du."

"Cloud boat."

Just as the young man was concentrating on listening to Mr. Du's teaching skills, Xu Ze's tall figure appeared beside him, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Du with his indifferent face.

So it was this 'family', he thought——

"Old Du, I heard that you have taken in a young apprentice. This person...is Yun Zhou?"

Shock flashed in Mr. Xu's eyes. This young man's bet on two rare high-end jadeites had already made him deeply moved. He never expected that he was still Lao Du's treasured apprentice.

Lao Du never took in apprentices easily. He hadn't seen him take in an apprentice in the past few decades. He never expected to accept Yunzhou and bring him to the auction site in person. It can be said that he took great pains.

It seems that this young man not only has luck, but also strength.

"Yes, you know each other?"

Mr. Du gave him a surprised look, then turned his gaze to Xu Ze, sized him up slightly, "This is your grandson, right?"

"Yes, this is Aze, he and Yun Zhou are classmates."

"Oh... no wonder I know you." Mr. Du took a look at Xu Ze. The young man was very handsome, but he had a cold face. Last time, he broke Lao Xu's jade pot and spring bottle. .

It's better to be his little apprentice, well-behaved and sensible, and quick to get started. Mr. Du secretly compared the two in his heart, and immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally.

The auction is about to start.

Mr. Xu and Xu Ze sat next to them, with a few seats in between, maintaining proper etiquette.

"The auction is about to start, please take your seat as soon as possible."

The auctioneer in suits and leather shoes stepped onto the auction stage, "Guests who are already seated, please read the auction instructions carefully first, and I will introduce the auction rules to you later."

Yun Zhou saw that one of the auction rules is that "the bidder has understood and accepted the current situation of the lot (including defects), and shall not return the goods or refuse to pay the transaction price for any reason after a successful bid", which shows the importance of the preview.

Next, we will introduce the price increase rules for night auctions.

举牌的规则有很多种，最常见的是258模式和250模式。假设起拍价3000元，‘258模式’的加价则为，3000-3200-3500-3800-4000；‘250模式’就是3000-3200-3400-3600-3800-4000，依次加价。①

However, many mature auctioneers have their own auction characteristics. They usually use various methods alternately, but the ultimate goal is to achieve a higher transaction price, which is related to their commission after all.

"Dear guests entrusted on site, online, or by phone, the following is the 'Night Show of Treasures of Modern and Contemporary Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy in Huaguo'. This time, 26 precious items will be presented.

Next, the auction of Lot No. 1, Zhang Daqian's "The First Melt of the Spring Snow", starts at 1000 million. "

"1000 million, 1100 million, 1200 million, 1300 million! Is there any price increase?

Well, network customers bid 1400 million. 1400 million, 1400 million - 1500 million for telephone entrustment, is there any more? The customer entrusted by telephone bids 1500 million - 1600 million!

The front row price in the arena is 1600 million, and the current bid is 1600 million. Is there any price increase? "

The voice of the auctioneer is very magnetic, and the speed of speech can mobilize people's emotions.

Yunzhou felt the strong atmosphere at the scene, and every price increase was a kind of stimulation. Looking at the rising numbers on the screen and the rapid changes of various currencies such as the US dollar, Hong Kong dollar, and British pound at the same time, he felt his heart warm up.

The auctioneer on the stage kept calling out the price, even if no one bid, they would keep repeating it, which brought a kind of psychological pressure.

If he was the party concerned, he would be very anxious and eager to bid.

When the time passed 8 minutes, the price of this lot was also close to the critical point, and there were no bids for a full 2 ​​minutes.

Auctioneer: "On-site and telephone commissioned guests, online guests, the current bid for this piece of "Spring Snow Melting" is 2200 million, which is Zhang Daqian's representative work of splashing colors in his later years. This sub-work was once exhibited at the Baodao History Museum. The source is detailed. Beautifully composed.

The current bid is 2200 million, 2200 million once - how much? 2250 million, yes!The customers in the middle row bid 2250 million. Is there any price increase?

2260 million, 2260 million bid by telephone entrustment, is there any price increase? "

Yun Zhou really admired this auctioneer. He thought that 2200 million had already reached the peak, but it turned out to be able to continue to increase, which is really amazing.

"The last time - 2260 million, deal!"

There was only a 'bang' sound, and the sound of the falling hammer rang out, hitting everyone's hearts, "Congratulations to the guest number 1362 in the venue, congratulations!"

The auction was successful.

Yun Zhou felt a little excited, maybe this is the charm of the auction site.

Mr. Du asked Yun Zhou: "How do you feel?"

Yun Zhou thought for a while: "It's still quite exciting."

Mr. Du laughed: "You won't feel it after going through it a few times. You will only get excited when you raise your sign. Let's experience it slowly."

During the subsequent auction, Mr. Du raised his sign twice when he auctioned Qi Baishi's "Hero Independence".This painting depicts an eagle standing proudly on a boulder. It is magnificent, dark in color, and strong in lines. It is a rare work.

However, when the price reached more than 9000 million, he stopped bidding. After all, this is not the point.

On the first day, the special sale of "Modern Modern Paintings and Calligraphy of Huaguo" ended successfully with a transaction price of 3.12 million yuan. In just two hours, the transaction volume was 3.12 million yuan. There were no top-notch auctions for 26 lots. It is indeed a super night show.

After returning to the hotel, Mr. Du briefly explained to Yun Zhou the steps of calligraphy and painting appraisal: "Let's take Zhang Daqian's works as an example. First, we need to understand his life and artistic style. His style mainly has three stages. The early The landscape paintings are copied from the works of Shi Tao and Bada Shanren...

The second is the inscriptions and postscripts on calligraphy and painting works, which is also the easiest place to fake.

The next thing to look at is the seal.Zhang Daqian has more than 50 seals, but each seal was cut at a different time, which can be distinguished by this aspect. "

With the help of this evening auction, Mr. Du told his apprentices about the twelve modern Chinese artists who appeared this time. The life and style of any one can be easily grasped without any effort.

Yunzhou benefited a lot, and it was already past 11 o'clock when he returned to his room.

He went through the porcelain auction catalog again, and marked the prices of the eight pieces of porcelain and Ru kiln fragments he planned to bid on. Once the price exceeded this price, he would no longer bid.

Looking at the last pieces of azure-glazed Ru kiln porcelain pieces in the catalogue, Yun Zhou highlighted them with a pen. His psychological price was within 500 million, and he hoped that there would not be too many bids the day after tomorrow.

On the second night, Claude Monet's "Water Lily Pond and Roses" created the highest auction record of calligraphy and painting, 1.34 million!

The famous painting worth more than [-] million yuan attracted a lot of media coverage, but the buyer was entrusted by phone, and it was not known who it was.

On the third day, it was time for the porcelain auction.

Porcelain auctions are divided into a matinee auction and an evening auction, and the matinee auction is divided into two special sessions in the morning and afternoon.

The night session is called "Huaguo Royal Kiln Treasures". At first glance, it seems that only official kiln boutiques can enter the session, and it will definitely create a new auction record.

The porcelain that Yunzhou fancy is basically in the afternoon, and the auction of Ru kiln fragments is relatively late in the afternoon.

In the morning, Mr. Du went to take a seat first, and Yun Zhou went to the service area to apply for a license plate.

"Excuse me, is it a daytime show or a nighttime show?"

"Daytime."

"New customers need to pay a deposit of 100 million."

"Ok."

Yunzhou signed the bidding agreement and paid a deposit of 100 million. If he wants to participate in the porcelain night show, he has to pay a deposit of 500 million. The gap is still quite large.

After completing the formalities, Yunzhou got his own number plate, number 1430.

He entered the auction area with Mr. Du.

"Chen Appreciation-Private Treasure Porcelain is about to start. This auction will auction 106 lots. The first lot is a Qing Yongzheng red-glazed high-legged bowl No. 275. The starting price is 10."

Yun Zhou has seen this piece of porcelain, the sacrificial red glaze on the outer wall is very beautiful, not the brightest red, but slightly dark red, the inside of the bowl and the inside of the ring foot are white glaze, the glaze is smooth and delicate, the brilliance is restrained, as much as possible. It shows the elegant aesthetics of Emperor Yongzheng.

In the Qing Dynasty, the firing of sacrificial red glaze was the most popular in the Yongzheng Dynasty, and it was the favorite color of Emperor Yongzheng.

"23, is there anyone still bidding? Are there still bids from the customers in the venue or the customers entrusted by phone?

At present, the highest bid for this Qing Yongzheng red-glazed stem bowl is 23. 23 for the last time - 'boom', congratulations to the buyer of 1390, congratulations! "

"No. 301, Qing Qianlong kiln variable-glazed pierced ear bottle, the starting price is 30."

Hearing this voice, Yunzhou sat up straight all of a sudden, holding the number plate tightly in his hand, and his expression became tense.

This is one of the eight pieces of porcelain that he wants to photograph. This piece of porcelain is not worn and is in perfect condition. The reason why he wants to photograph it is because it is a kiln-transformed porcelain.

Kiln change refers to the uncertain natural change of glaze color on the surface of porcelain due to the change of temperature in the kiln during the firing process. ②

Because it is uncontrollable, it is unique and precious, and any kiln-changed glazed porcelain is unique.

This kiln-changed glaze pierced-ear vase has a dignified and simple shape, with pierced ears on both sides of the neck, and a sharp outline. The edge of the mouth and the part close to the outline are white, and the belly is red and blue, with no obvious boundaries in color. , with a bright smudge effect, giving people a sense of surprise.

The psychological price of Yunzhou is 60-70, and now it has sold 50.

"50, 52, 55! The guests in the back row bid 55, and the current highest bid is 55."

Yun Zhou took a deep breath and held up his number plate.

"58!" The auctioneer's gaze immediately turned to Yunzhou, "The customers in the middle row in the venue bid 58, do you have any more bids - 60, and the customers entrusted by phone bid 60!"

The auctioneer's eyes swept across the auditorium one by one, "Currently the highest bid is 60 yuan, is there any customer in the venue who wants to bid?"
