Chapter 1056 Under the Xuande Furnace
Since the emergence of the Xuande furnace, the imitations of all dynasties have been the most, but so far, no Xuande furnace has been identified as authentic in the academic circle, which is very controversial. Therefore, although the price of Xuande furnace is generally not low, it has not reached the level of top works of art.
In this auction, this Xuande furnace was only auctioned as an imitation of the middle of the Ming Dynasty, because even Bonadet's huge professional appraisal agency could not confirm the authenticity of the wrong Jin Xuande furnace, so the price of 200,000 US dollars was opened.
"Mr. Zhuang from China offered $200,000. Gentlemen, do you have any bids?"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's offer, William was finally relieved and was inexplicably grateful to Zhuang Rui. With his position in the auction house, if he really auctioned an object on such an occasion, it would definitely be a breaking news in the circle.
Of course, because of his career, William asked routinely that as an auctioneer, he maximized the value of the items he auctioned, which is the basic element they need to have.
"$300,000..."
Just as William's words fell, Mao Watanabe's voice rang, smiling and raised the number plate of his right hand.
"Damn it, don't you believe in the Eightfold God in Japan? Why did this thing also come to rob with buddies?
Zhuang Rui originally had a good impression of Watanabe Zhenyang, but at this moment, after hearing his quotation, he immediately felt that his face was abominable. He finally caught a foreigner and could pick up the leak, but he was hit by Watabe Zhenyang again.
"$1 million..."
Zhuang Rui is too lazy to talk nonsense with each other. Dude, just make a local steamed bun today and take the money to suppress people. Even if you have more money than me, you may not be willing to spend more than me. Zhuang Rui's seven or eight hundred million dollars are blown by the wind, indicating that there is no pressure.
"Are the Chinese so rich now?"
"Yes, where can there be such an auction? It's just an upstart..."
"Oh, he is so handsome. I like people like this..."
"Palris, you sent it again, I'm sure that the Chinese must not be interested in you..."
"You look at your buttocks. It's so upturned. Oh, Chinese men also feel the same way. I think... I'm moved..."
Zhuang Rui's bid attracted everyone in the audience to talk about it. Some disdained his behavior, and some had bright eyes, especially those Hollywood nv stars. When they looked at Zhuang Rui, their eyes were as tender as water, and some Hao directly discussed Zhuang Rui's figure.
Zhuang Rui has aura power in his eyes, but his ears are not so sensitive. Otherwise, if he hears the dialogue of those nv people, he will probably have to run away immediately.
"Mr. Mao Watanabe, Mr. Zhuang bid $1 million. Do you want to continue to bid?"
William controlled the process of the auction and attracted everyone's attention to Mao Watanabe.
"I think... Mr. Zhuang wants to take all the Chinese antiques back, and I gave up..."
Mao Watanabe smiled bitterly. The Japanese have always hated Chinese culture. On the one hand, they envied the profound historical origin of Chinese culture. On the other hand, they were jealous of Chinese civilization for their own reasons, so more than 100 years ago, they have changed their ways to plunder all kinds of articles from China. Even today, some people in the Japanese upper class will often compare with their collection of Chinese antiques.
So as long as Mao Watanabe has the opportunity, he will spare no effort to acquire antiques from China, but today he is stunned and does not consider the value of these objects themselves at all. Even Shino Watanabe is unwilling to compete with Zhuang Rui.
After all, if you buy something of considerable value, it's called Taobao. If you buy something of great value for money, it's called picking up leaks, but if you buy something whose market value is far lower than its bid price, it's stupid.
"If no one bids, this metal instrument from China will belong to Mr. Zhuang. Let's thank Mr. Zhuang again for his contribution to charity..."
After William asked a few more times, it was obvious that no one present wanted to be a fool. Finally, in the sound of the auction hammer, this Xuande furnace was pocketed by Zhuang Rui. However, when Zhuang Rui patted this thing, the whole audience looked at him and became a little strange.
The collection of works of art has developed into a kind of commercial investment. These super-rich people present often spend a lot of money to buy all kinds of precious works of art, but they all have a premise that the appreciation potential of this thing is huge. Behavior like Zhuang Rui is simply stupid in their eyes. Stupid.
"Mr. William, I don't know if you can give me this thing now?"
After photographing the Xuande furnace, Zhuang Rui put forward a request. As the first real Xuande furnace found by Zhuang Rui, he really wanted to rub the Xuande furnace that had lasted for six or seven hundred years at the first time.
"This..."
William is a little embarrassed. According to the auction procedure, all the auctions will be at the end of the auction. After receiving the payment, the auction will be given to the other party. Now Zhuang Rui's request is obviously beyond his authority. After being a little stunned, William couldn't help looking up for Bonadette in the crowd.
After seeing Bonadette's slight head, William smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Zhuang is our distinguished guest. I think this request is reasonable..."
All the showcases for antiques or jewelry are made of bulletproof glass. After getting Bonadet's signature, a supervisor in a suit opened the cabinet with a Xuande stove and took out the Xuande stove with only a palm.
"Good things..."
As soon as he got the Xuande furnace, Zhuang Rui felt a sudden sinking in his hand. The incense burner was no more than 20 centimeters high, but Zhuang Rui weighed it, weighing at least more than ten catties. Obviously, this was not only red copper, but also many other metals.
Zhuang Rui held the whole Xuande furnace in his hand, which seemed to have a trace of elegance in the rich atmosphere. It melted inside and glowed strangely from the dimness, which was also in line with the great connoisseur, collector and painter Xiang Yuan Bian (Zijing) of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The pearl light, the appearance of "Sandan Mumu" is said.
Rubing the wrong gold process of Xuande furnace, Zhuang Rui's face showed a happy smile. He can already conclude that this is one of the 3,000 Xuande furnaces built by Xuande in three years, and because of this special process and weight, its value is more than several times more valuable than that of the same kind of Xuande furnace.
Standing next to Zhuang Rui, Bonadette couldn't help but be a little strange when he saw Zhuang Rui's expression. He asked, "Zhuang, as far as I know, the auction price of this kind of craft is only about 300,000 US dollars in the international market. Why are you so happy?"
Bonadet himself is an internationally renowned collector, especially the works of art of China and ancient Greece, and has a lot of research on the culture and history of these two countries. He is no stranger to Xuande Furnace. He is very puzzled when he sees Zhuang Rui picking up a treasure. He is very puzzled. Hasn't he happy to have
"Mr. Bonadet, the real Xuande furnace was made in the Xuande period, and the price you mentioned is just an imitation of later generations..."
Zhuang Rui did not make it clear that this object was the Xuande furnace made during the Xuande period. It was a little unkind to pick up leaks from others and then hit people.
"Oh...no, Zhuang, I heard that so far, no Xuande furnace has been rated as authentic, so..."
Bonadette obviously knew the allusions of the Xuande furnace. Similarly, he did not think that the Xuande furnace he collected was produced in China during that special period, otherwise he would never have auctioned it.
After hearing Bonadet's words, Zhuang Rui smiled confidently and said, "Ha ha, Mr. Bonadet, I am first an appraiser, and secondly an art collector. Since my debut, I have never made a mistake in identifying antiques. This Xuande furnace, both in terms of type and material, is with the real The Xuande furnace is consistent, I think... I should not mistake it..."
"Zhuang...you, are you telling the truth?"
The confident smile on Zhuang Rui's face made Bonadette seem to believe Zhuang Rui's words. The old man patted his thigh and said regretfully, "God, how can I sell a real Xuande furnace? Well, I will be laughed to death by my old friends. Zhuang, according to your opinion, how much should this Xuande furnace be worth?
Bonadette's frankness made Zhuang Rui very good to him. After thinking about it, he said, "The controversy about the authenticity of the Zhende furnace is too great, but even if it is a later imitation of jīng products, the price is about 500,000 US dollars. The price of this Xuande furnace made by Xuande in three years should "
After Zhuang Rui was ready to return to China, he immediately invited domestic gold, silver and bronzeware identification experts, and through modern instruments to cut off the Xuande furnace treasure. He had enough reasons to believe that the price of the first Xuande three-year-old Xuande furnace, which was identified, was definitely worth more than 50 million RB.
After listening to Zhuang Rui's words, Bonadette joked with a smile: "Oh, I lost money. I lost a lot this time. No, Zhuang, you should still do more for charity..."
"Of course, I'd love to..."
Zhuang Rui felt very happy to flow with this foreign old man, and Bonadette's mind also made him heartbroken. He lost tens of millions of dollars of things, and the other party did not even frown. This is the demeanor of the super-rich.
Just as Zhuang Rui and Bonadette were chatting, a waiter came to Zhuang Rui and said, "Mr. Zhuang, there is a nv who wants to invite you to go..." RA
