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

Yun Zhou raised the sign again, and the auctioneer immediately gestured in his direction after seeing it: "62, the middle row customers in the venue bid 62, anyone else want to add?"

No one continued to bid for a full minute, and the boy let out a sigh of relief.

However, this tone has not been completely relaxed, and the auctioneer's magnetic and high voice suddenly sounded on the stage, "65! The customer entrusted by phone bid 65, does the customer in the venue still want to increase the price?

Yun Zhou's heart skipped a beat, the price was getting closer and closer to his psychological price, he took a deep breath, and held up the sign for the third time——

"68 million!"

The auctioneer's voice was full of excitement. Perhaps the price has exceeded the estimated price. "The customer in the middle row of the venue bid 68 yuan, which is the highest price so far. For the customer who commissioned by phone, do you want to add more?"

No one responded.

About half a minute later, the auctioneer began to make the final finishing touches: "Qianlong Kiln Changing Glaze Piercing Ear Vase, exquisite workmanship and gorgeous colors, once collected by a private collector, the current highest price is 68. The last time——"

The auctioneer picked up the auction mallet, as if it was about to drop, or maybe he was trying to stimulate the buyer. The consignee who was answering the phone at this time made a gesture to the opposite stage.

The auctioneer nodded and signaled: "Yes, the phone entrusts the customer to increase the price by 69, and the current highest price is [-]."

His gaze pierced through the crowd and shot straight at Yunzhou, "The guests in the middle row in the arena, do you want to join?"

Would you like to add more?Would you like to add more?

Yun Zhou felt the auctioneer's urging voice ringing in his ears like a curse, beating his heart non-stop. His heartbeat gradually became more and more intense, and sweat oozes from his palms. He raised his hand for the last number plate.

This is already the highest price in his mind. If it exceeds this price... Yun Zhou doesn't know whether to take the auction, because he really likes this piece of porcelain.

"Have you taken a fancy to this pierced ear bottle?"

Mr. Du smiled kindly at him, "In my opinion, this kiln-glazed porcelain can be bought within 80 yuan, so it's not a loss."

The young man held the number plate tightly with his slender fingers, shook his head slightly after a while, and whispered to Mr. Du: "If it doesn't work this time, I won't continue to take pictures."

Although he currently has sufficient funds, since he has set a psychological price, he must follow this principle.For things that violate the principle, there will be a second time after the first time. He cannot set this precedent.

Mr. Du took a deep look at him, and it was really rare among young people to be able to be so strict with himself.

"70, the last time—"

The auctioneer raised the gavel high, and Yun Zhou looked nervously at the stage. At that moment, he couldn't help holding his breath, only to hear a crisp bang, and everything was settled, "Congratulations! Guest of Guest 1430! Congratulations!"

call--

It was only then that Yun Zhou let go of the breath in his chest. The feeling just now was like a string stretched in his head, constantly urging and stimulating.

Fortunately, this piece of porcelain was finally photographed by him.

The young man's smile was exceptionally bright at this moment, and his whole body exuded joy. There seemed to be stars twinkling in his clear eyes, which were astonishingly beautiful.

Xu Ze happened to see this scene when he turned his head. He looked at the other party in a daze, his ears were red, and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.

When the other party looked over, he coughed in a low disguise, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

The morning session of "Chen Appreciation-Private Treasure Porcelain" lasted until nearly one o'clock in the afternoon. Out of 106 pieces of porcelain, 7 pieces were unsold, with a turnover rate of 93.4%. The total turnover was 3752.6 million yuan, which was quite fruitful.

However, compared with the night market with a turnover of over [-] million, it is obviously inferior.

At two o'clock, the afternoon session "Chen Appreciation - Collection of Antique Porcelain" is about to start, and this is the session that Yun Zhou pays most attention to.However, after approaching the auction hall, he found that there were not many participants, and many seats were empty.

This is understandable.

There are three special auctions for porcelain in this autumn auction. Needless to say, "Imperial Kiln Treasures" are all high-quality products of official kilns; "Private Treasures" are also collected by private collectors.

The porcelain auction in the afternoon was obviously not as good as the other two.As can be seen from the name, the lots of 'Antique Porcelain Collection' are relatively mixed, and the overall style is not high.

Mr. Du didn't come with Yunzhou.

The time at noon is relatively tight, and the old man usually has to take a nap, not to mention that there is the most important night show in the evening, and he wants to include the items in the auction, so naturally he has to keep his spirits up.

Yun Zhou still sat in the middle row, Xu Ze hesitated for a while, and sat next to him.Mr. Xu didn't come this time either, there were only the two of them in the whole row.

The boy glanced at the handsome and indifferent young man beside him, and suddenly thought of the jealous look of the emperor, his eyes slightly curved.

But this jealousy is unreasonable, Young Master Xu must not like him, the two of them are good friends.

'Remember that in the previous life, the other party seemed to be married to a jeweler's daughter. 'Yun Zhou recalled carefully, anyway, no matter whether the news is true or not, it is impossible.

Well, the emperor is really jealous.

He stroked the jade pendant around his neck with his fair fingers, and the smile on his face became brighter again.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the auctioneer came to the stage, "Chen Appreciation-Antique Porcelain Collection is about to start. There are 157 lots in this auction. The first lot is No. 461 Qing Dynasty Guangxu multicolored dragon and phoenix bowl. The starting price is 5."

“5万，5万2，5万5，5万8——6万！目前场内前排的客人出价6万，还有要加价的吗？

The current price is 6, OK, online customers bid 6, is there anything else to add?Do you still join the front row? "

Yun Zhou saw the middle-aged man in front of him wave his hand.

"6, the current highest bid for this five-color dragon and phoenix pattern bowl from the Guangxu Period of the Qing Dynasty is 2, the last time of 6 - 'Boom', congratulations to the guests of the network 2, congratulations!"

Yunzhou found that the speed of the afternoon session was much faster than before. Basically, one piece was sold within one to two minutes. The auctioneer would not rush or wait very hard, and the hammer would drop when the expected price was reached.

One piece after another was quickly sold out, and soon the porcelain he was looking for arrived.

"No. 523, the mid-Qing Dynasty blue-glazed vase, the starting price is 7000.

7000, 7200, 7500, 7800—how much, ten thousand!The current telephone entrustment bid is [-], is there anything else to add? "

Yun Zhou held up a sign.

“1万2，场内中排出价1万2，1万2——什么价格，1万3，也可以！场内前排的客人出价1万3，还有要加价的吗？”

Yun Zhou raised his placard for the second time.

“1万5，场内出价1万5，网络、电话委托以及场内的客人还有加么？目前最高价1万5……”

The teenager who was a few rows away vaguely heard the discussion of the person in front of him. There were words like 'mouth edge' and 'wear', and that person stopped bidding.

Auctioneer: "The current highest bid for a blue-glazed appreciation bottle in the mid-Qing Dynasty is 1430. The last time—'Boom', congratulations to customer No. [-] in the venue!"

Yun Zhou's eyes were stained with joy. The price of this lot with a little glaze missing on the rim was lower than he expected. He originally thought it would cost about [-] yuan, but now it only cost [-] yuan, which is still a good deal. of.

Normally speaking, such a piece of porcelain with perfect appearance would cost at least [-] yuan, and it really felt like I had earned it.

Next, several pieces of porcelain that Yunzhou was interested in were sold at lower prices, and one of them was sold at the starting price, and no one competed with him.

When the time went to 4:157 pm, only 8 of the 8 items were not auctioned, and these [-] items were severely damaged artifacts and broken porcelain pieces from famous kilns.

The auctioneer cleared his throat after drinking a glass of water, "The next auction is the remnant Qing Yongzheng blue and white alum red cloud dragon pattern jade pot spring bottle No. 552. The starting price is 100 million."

The large screen in front clearly showed the picture of this remnant vessel. About three to four centimeters of the porcelain bottle mouth was missing as a whole. It was called 'decapitated' porcelain, and it was very flawed.

I saw this piece of porcelain during the preview of Yunzhou. It is an authentic fine piece of Yongzheng official kiln.

The blue and white hair color of the bottle body is natural, and the alum red cloud dragon in the blue and white is like taking off in the clouds and mist. The dragon pattern is fierce and powerful, quite imposing.The fetal quality is fine and smooth, the production is exquisite, and it is rare in the world.

The "cloud and dragon pattern" as the decorative pattern of utensils has always been a major feature of court objects in the Qing Dynasty, reflecting the symbol of royal nobility.A jade pot spring vase with similar patterns was once sold for a high price of nearly 2000 million yuan, but it is not clear how much this remnant will be sold for.

If no one raises the price, even though it is not the most desired piece of Ru kiln porcelain, Yun Zhou feels that he can also 'take a leak'.

"The starting price is 100 million, is there anyone bidding?

100 million, online bid 100 million, 100 million—the customer entrusted by phone bid 150 million!The current highest price is 150 million, is there anyone else? "

Yun Zhou raised the sign once.

"180 million. The current highest price is 180 million. Anyone else want to add it? 200 million! The price at the back of the venue is 200 million—"

He didn't continue to increase the price, and finally this "decapitated" remnant was sold at a price of 320 million, which was one-seventh of the complete relic. It can be seen that damage is indeed fatal to porcelain.

"No. 553 Ming Xuande blue and white dragon pattern plate (remnant), the starting price is 70."

Yun Zhou looked at the displayed picture, the porcelain was completely broken into four pieces, only bonded with adhesive, and large cracks could be seen.

"70, anyone bid? The starting price is 70—"

The auctioneer yelled several times with no response.

The Xuande blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is a masterpiece. It was fired with the imported cobalt material 'Su Ma Li Qing', and the blue and white hair is rich and colorful. Unfortunately, no one bought this broken piece of porcelain.If no one bids, this remnant weapon will pass the auction.

After hesitating for a moment, the boy raised his hand and held up the sign.

"The price of the middle row in the venue is 70! The last time of 70-'Boom', congratulations to the guest of No. 1430!"

Yun Zhou put down the sign, thinking that this was almost the fastest time for the auctioneer to drop the hammer.

"No. 554, a box of Ru kiln porcelain pieces in the Northern Song Dynasty, a total of 78 pieces, the starting price is 60."

It finally came to today's highlight, Yun Zhou was nervous, and couldn't help but clenched the number plate in his hand.

"60, 70, 80, 100 million! The bid is 100 million, is there any price increase?"

Yun Zhou turned his head and saw that it was Xu Ze who made the bid.

Xu Ze's stern eyebrows softened a little: "I'll help you take a picture of this, and that's what grandpa meant."

There are many things that don't need to be explained too clearly. Yunzhou instantly understood the meaning of the other party. It was because the sales of the high-ice floating flower jadeite last time greatly exceeded expectations, so the other party reciprocated and wanted to help him take pictures of this porcelain.

"...Then thank you and Grandpa Xu." Yun Zhou said with a slight smile.

He didn't refuse, otherwise the two people asking the price at the same time would only make the price higher and higher, so wait until the auction is over to pay back the money, although he thinks that the other party will probably not accept it.

"The telephone entrusted bid is 250 million - 280 million! This customer in the middle row bid 280 million, do you still add the customer entrusted by telephone?"

The person on the telephone seat shook his head slightly after communicating for half a minute.

"280 million for the last time—"

When the auction hammer fell, Yun Zhou's high-hanging heart also let go, followed by endless excitement, and even his chest became hot.

The long-awaited Ru kiln porcelain piece finally belongs to him this time!

The sense of satisfaction of capturing something he loved instantly filled his heart, and the young man wished he could run up to the rooftop and shout loudly to vent his inner excitement and satisfaction.

What made him even happier was that the final transaction price was much lower than he expected, and he bought it for only 500 million at an estimated price of 280 million, which felt like a great bargain.

When Yunzhou walked out of the auction hall, he was smiling all the time, his eyebrows and eyes were curved into beautiful arcs, and those brown eyes, which were as clear as water, were full of stars, even passers-by could feel his joy.

Yun Zhou went to the service desk to pay, and the price of the nine pieces of porcelain he photographed was 158 million, plus a 15% commission, totaling about 182 million.

Auction houses charge both buyers and sellers, and charge storage fees, publicity fees, catalog production fees, etc. for sellers who send auctions. The commission is about 5%-12%.According to the price of the lot, the higher the price, the lower the commission.

Corresponding commissions are also charged for buyers, and they are not low, most of which are above 15%, which can be said to be a very good business.

After checking the number plate, the staff handed the bill of lading to the young man with a clean and bright smile. When handing it out, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and his mood improved accordingly.

"Thank you." Yun Zhou bowed his eyes and thanked.

Now he has a total of nine bills of lading in his hand, together with Xu Ze's one, he has taken a total of ten lots, which has yielded a lot.

The auction house can pick up the goods on the spot, or deliver the goods to the designated place.This time the porcelain Yunzhou has already seen the real product, so it is going to be shipped away directly, except for the box of Ru kiln fragments.

After picking up the goods, Yunzhou opened the box.

Picking out the folk kiln porcelain pieces facing the Ru kiln inside, the remaining 20 pieces of broken porcelain pieces have a thick glaze and a jade-like luster. No matter how many times he sees these azure glazes like the blue sky after the rain, he Can feel a kind of excitement from the heart.

Zhou Hui's "Qingbo Magazine" once recorded: "It is forbidden to burn in the Ru kiln palace, and there are agates in the glaze, which are only allowed to be sold for the emperor's selection and retreat, which is especially rare."

Looking at the lustrous luster, Yun Zhou thought that it was indeed as precious as the description, and ordinary people couldn't see it at all.

**

'Hua Guo Yu Kiln Treasures' night show.

The number of people in this event has increased significantly, and some wealthy people, entrepreneurs, and collectors who have not appeared before have appeared one after another, and they seem to be gearing up to take pictures of their favorite items.

The four of Yunzhou were still sitting in the middle row, and Mr. Du kept flipping through the auction catalogue, with a rare and serious expression.

The young man's expression was much more relaxed. He had already completed the task of this auction, and all ten pieces of porcelain were in his bag. As for the porcelain with a price of tens of millions or even higher, let these big guys fight for it.

"Yun Zhou, is it really... you?"

Just as he was discussing the wonders of the Heart-Turning Vase with Mr. Du, Fu Yan's figure appeared a few steps away.

Ever since Fu Yan saw Yun Zhou at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, he began to frantically collect all kinds of treasures.He thought that the young man must like these, otherwise he would not come to Zhenbao Pavilion.

It's a pity that all the collections of the Fu family's private museum are on display and cannot be taken at will, and he has searched the antique market all over but can't find suitable items, either the grade is too low or the quality is not good, how can he be worthy of a clean and sunny boy Woolen cloth?

Fortunately, the Golden Harvest Autumn Auction gave him an excellent opportunity. Fu Yan believed that he would definitely find a suitable item in this evening auction, and then give it to the other party.

It's just that he didn't expect Yunzhou to be there.

Fu Yan's gaze slowly swept across the people sitting around the young man.

Mr. Du and Mr. Xu are both well-known figures in the circle. One is a master in the antique industry, and the other is the leader of the top ten jewelers in Huaguo. Fu Yan once met them at a famous banquet. Not easily offended.

The young man who once couldn't even afford a set of formal clothes to go to high-end places is now surrounded by two big men, one on the left and one on the right. The familiarity in their words is enough to show that their relationship is very good.

Fu Yan had a faint feeling that the other party was no longer the young man he remembered. He had become more confident and dazzling, which made him feel very terrified.

why?It shouldn't be like this!It is enough for him alone to see Yunzhou's goodness, and there is no need for more people to know about it.

He felt that things were gradually getting out of control, completely different from the direction of his previous life.

Fu Yan gritted his back molars secretly, his gloomy eyes fell on the handsome boy beside Yun Zhou, his expression flustered.

Even he had to admit that the other party's appearance and temperament were extremely outstanding, and the sense of crisis in his heart became more and more intense, and he growled, "Who are you? What does it have to do with Yunzhou?"

Young Master Xu frowned irritably, ignored the question in front of him, and said in a cold voice, "None of your business. The auction is about to start, and you're blocking my sight."

Fuck, the eyeballs of this evil pen are about to stick to Yun Zhou's body, isn't it disgusting?

Grandpa Du also frowned. This young man looked familiar, he seemed to be a boy from the Fu family.It is said that it is like being possessed by an evil spirit recently, and now it seems that the behavior is indeed a bit abnormal.

Seeing the other party's eyes looking straight at Yun Zhou, Xu Ze's face turned black, and he stood up suddenly to block the other party's sight. His tall figure was slightly taller than Fu Yan, and the disgust in his eyes almost solidified, "Aren't you Can't understand people's language?"

Two handsome and tall men stood abruptly in the center of the auction hall, with uneasy expressions and indifferent eyes, as if a fierce battle was about to break out in the next moment.

The people around cast curious eyes towards this side, and the security guards behind also began to gather here.

The young man was a bit embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to tug on Xu Ze's sleeve, "Well, young master, you should sit down first."

Unexpectedly, this action completely detonated Fu Yan's tense nerves. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Xu Ze full of jealousy and hatred. Under everyone's shocked eyes, he suddenly swung his fist at the boy. !

Xu Ze's body that has been exercising all year round reacted spontaneously, turned his head slightly to avoid the attack, and then punched the opponent not to be outdone——

"My God—"

"bleeding!"

"Where's the security?!"

There were exclamations from the crowd, and the security guards arrived quickly, dragged Fu Yan who was lying on the ground bleeding from his nose, and hurriedly sent him to the infirmary.

When Fu Yan left, no one noticed a wisp of black air wrapping around his body, only he shivered from the cold, and vaguely thought of something bad.

"The people around me saw it. I was acting in self-defense. It was that mad dog who punched me first."

Xu Ze said indifferently to the regional manager who came over, his eyebrows and eyes proud.

The two old men also nodded.

Old Man Du sighed softly, "The young man's behavior was not normal just now. I think he may have some mental problems. I suggest you give him a proper examination."

The manager immediately came over to apologize, looking quite helpless.After verification, the identity of that person just now is not simple. He is the son of Mr. Fu, a top collector. Mr. Fu is already on his way, and he doesn't know how it will end.

Alas, this is the first time that Golden Harvest has held an auction for decades, and it is at a high-end night market.

It is necessary to strengthen prevention in the future.

And so the farce passed.

Xu Ze looked down at the back of his reddish hand, and sneered in his heart.Heh, when he swung his fist just now, he used [-]% of his strength, which is enough for that evil pen to drink a pot.

The phenomenon of people whispering didn't stop until the auction started, and they put all their minds on the auction items.

"Dear guests entrusted on-site, online, or by telephone, the following is a special session of 'Hua Guo Imperial Kiln Treasures'. This time, 39 precious items will be presented."

……

"No. 619, Qing Emperor Qianlong's Fenglaiyi Heart Turning Vase, the starting price is 8000 million!"

“8200万，8500万，8800、9000、9500万！还有叫价的吗？

The customer entrusted by phone bid [-] million, thank you, the current highest price is [-] million——

One hundred and ten million!The front row price in the arena is 1000 million, is there a price increase? "

In less than 2 minutes after the opening, the bidding price exceeded [-] million, pushing the atmosphere of the audience to a climax.

Mr. Du held up his sign.

"2000 million, the middle row customers in the venue are currently bidding 2000 million! 2000 million, is there any price increase?"

The auctioneer's voice was much louder and higher than usual, which showed that he was very satisfied with the current bidding price.

"How much, are you sure? OK, [-] million! The client who entrusted by phone bid directly for [-] million!"

When this price appeared, bursts of applause and exclamations erupted in the venue. Such a price is rarely seen in any auction house.

"[-] million, thank you. The current highest bid is [-] million. Is there any price increase?"

Yunzhou heard Mr. Du sighed, and it seemed that he didn't plan to continue bidding.

The auction of this lot lasted for three to ten minutes. In the end, only two people kept increasing the price. The auctioneer tentatively dropped the hammer five times, each time with a feint, which brought great pressure to the buyer. .

In the end, the 'Feng Lai Yi Changing Heart Vase Made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty' was sold for 2.65 million yuan, with a commission of nearly 3 million yuan, creating a new auction record for porcelain!
