The best ring

The auction continues.

Antiques were put up for auction one after another, with different prices. The lowest one could be sold for 100,000 yuan, and the highest transaction price had reached more than 3 million yuan. Wu Fan really saw these people again. of madness.

Wu Fan felt a little hard to accept when he thought that he was still worrying about money, but these people were spending millions on something that he couldn't eat or drink.

Occasionally, Wang Ziming will bid for something he thinks is good. However, he is relatively rational. Once the price exceeds his estimated range, he will not bid again, so that he has not bought anything yet. However, Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to care.

"Today is just a small auction. It's just a warm-up for the summer auction in three days. There are very few good things." Wang Ziming explained to Wu Fan: "Of course, if you have something you like, I can help You buy it."

"I don't have anything in mind." Wu Fan shook his head and said, "But what do you mean by the summer auction you just mentioned?"

"Jiahua Auction holds four major auctions every year, held in spring, summer, autumn and winter. These four auctions are relatively large in scale, with many good items and many people participating. They are grand events in the auction world." Wang Ziming explained: "Of course, several other major auction houses will also have similar auctions. Therefore, if you really want to buy good things, you still have to participate in such a large auction. You see, the highest transaction price so far tonight is More than 3 million yuan. If it is a large-scale auction, the highest transaction price will definitely be over 10 million. Even sometimes, rare treasures appear and the price exceeds 100 million, which is not impossible. "

Wu Fan was speechless secretly.

The transaction price of more than three million yuan at the scene seemed crazy to Wu Fan. However, now that Wang Ziming said it, it seemed that the more than three million yuan was nothing. In such a large-scale auction, , is simply not qualified to be the standard king.

Antique collecting is crazy.

Wu Fan sighed again in his heart.

At this time, the beautiful etiquette lady brought something up again, this time it was a calligraphy and painting. At the host's instruction, the etiquette lady unfolded the calligraphy and painting and showed it to everyone present.

"The calligraphy and painting that is being auctioned now." The host said: "The author of this calligraphy and painting is a well-known poet in the late Qing Dynasty, named Jin Fei. This calligraphy and painting is his work in his later years. Quite collectible. ”

Although what the host said was passionate, the reaction of the people below was not that intense.

The late Qing Dynasty is not too far away now. Generally speaking, the calligraphy and paintings of the Qing Dynasty, except for a few, do not have much collection value. As for this man named Jin Fei, no one has ever heard of him before. How good can the work be?

This is obviously not a popular item.

The host seemed to feel the cold reception this object received, and his face was slightly embarrassed. However, the object has been brought up, so the auction must continue.

"Although the owner of this work is not too famous, his calligraphy and painting are quite stylish and have considerable collection value." The host was still trying hard to arouse everyone's interest in bidding, "Now, I announce that this The bidding for the calligraphy and painting has officially begun, with a starting price of 150,000 yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than 10,000 yuan.”

Different from the previous situation, every time the host finished speaking, someone would bid. However, this time no one spoke, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Wang Ziming looked at the calligraphy and painting on the booth, shook his head slightly, and said: "It's not a famous work, and it has no collection value. The starting price is 150,000, and it is probably going to fail."

At this time, the host next to the booth was also as worried as Wang Ziming.

He has some experience in this industry, but he has not seen how much collection value this work has. If the starting price is only 20,000 to 30,000, someone might buy it back for fun. However, the starting price is 150,000, which is lower than the first. If the price of an item is high, who will buy it?

"I don't know what the people who set the price think. To set such a high starting price for something like this, isn't it because they are so determined to make it fail?" the host thought complaining in his heart.

You know, if the auction fails, it will also have an impact on him as the host. If the auction is sold, he will also get a commission. The higher the transaction price, the more commission he will get. Of course, he does not want the auction to happen.

Wu Fan also looked at the calligraphy and painting and subconsciously threw an identification technique at it.

In fact, when every auction item was brought up before, Wu Fan would use appraisal skills to identify it. He didn’t have any other ideas. He just wanted to know the information about this auction item. Let’s see what the host said. It's just right or wrong.

This is just a boring thing he does when he is bored.

But this time, he had an unexpected gain.

"Flower and Bird Pictures (pseudo): The late Qing Dynasty poet Jin Fei made it in his later years. The painting skills are average, the poetry level is average, and the production is rough. Jin Fei: The late Qing Dynasty poet, his representative work "Spring Breeze", he was born in..."

"Farewell (True): Written by Li Suzhi, an early calligrapher in the Sui Dynasty. This work has a high level of calligraphy and excellent lyrics. It is Li Suzhi's peak work. This work was created when Li Suzhi bid farewell to his friend. It is full of reluctance to part with his friend and his concern for his friend's future. Because of its high level, it is sought after by calligraphy enthusiasts of all generations. Li Suzhi: An early calligrapher in the Sui Dynasty, known as the "Li Shusheng", created many works in his life, but only a few have been passed down. Each work has great collection value..."

What's going on?

Wu Fan stared at the calligraphy and painting in a daze. It's just one work, how can it get two appraisal results? Moreover, one is true and the other is false.

Wu Fan was not surprised that Jin Fei's calligraphy and painting appeared in the appraisal results, but what about this Li Suzhi? Who is he? And what about his "Farewell"? Where is it?

Many doubts appeared in Wu Fan's mind.

The result of the appraisal this time puzzled Wu Fan greatly, especially the introduction about Li Suzhi, which was very detailed. However, Wu Fan did not find where Li Suzhi's "Seeing Off a Guest" was.

"Could it be that this calligraphy and painting has other secrets?" Wu Fan thought to himself.

Wu Fan had great trust in the appraisal technique, and there had never been any mistakes before. This time, since the appraisal technique showed that there was the so-called "Seeing Off a Guest" in the calligraphy and painting, then it must exist, but he had not discovered it yet.
