Chapter 2049: Jiangnan Misty Rain
The first round of auction ended, and the result was perfect.
The little guys gathered in the front of the stage have dispersed, happily ran back to their seats, showed off their results to their parents, and accepted compliments.
As for their parents, needless to say, all of them are so happy that their forks are cracked to the back of their heads, their faces are full of ecstasy, without concealing them!
For them, today’s wedding banquet is really great value, and it can be described as a rewarding experience.
The sum of the value of the antique coins obtained before and the antique artworks photographed by the baby may be enough to cover the various expenses that the baby needs from now until adulthood, and there is even a surplus.
For Ye Tian, each of them is grateful.
They are also very clear in their hearts that this is Ye Tian who is changing his way to help himself, and he has done it very cleverly. It has taken care of everyone's face and made people feel warm.
Just as they praised and kept kissing their baby, the top collectors, antique art appraisal experts, and other professionals in the banquet hall were watching them closely.
Especially the managers of several famous auction houses, their eyes are extremely hot, and their eyes are almost red.
Obviously, these senior professionals in the industry are already thinking about their ideas. To be precise, they are thinking about antique artworks that have just been photographed and have caused a commotion again and again.
Although those antique works of art are not priceless, they are also quite rare and valuable, and they have their own characteristics and are very collectable. How can these people in the industry be willing to miss it!
At this time, Ye Tian had returned to the center of the stage, standing on the temporarily arranged auction table, and kicked off the second round of auction.
"Hello everyone, the next round will be the second round of auctions, but before the second round of auctions, I need to explain some things in advance to avoid some unexpected situations.
Those who participated in this round of auctions are all non-professionals. It is possible that they have not participated in the auction of antique art before and are not familiar with the auction process, so I will still guide you.
When each antique art is auctioned, everyone can only passively bid for the price in the first four rounds of auction. I will call out the relevant antique art quotation, and you can decide whether to raise your hand or not.
In the last round, that is, the fifth round of bidding, everyone is free to bid. The bid closest to the upper limit of the auction transaction price given by me is the winner, and the bid higher than the upper limit is deemed invalid.
The upper limit of the transaction price of all the antique artworks sold in this round has been handed over to the notary. For each auction, the notary will announce the upper limit of the transaction price of the corresponding antique art.
The reason for doing this is to be open and transparent, so that no one will say that his bid is higher, and why you lose to the opponent with the lower bid is because your bid exceeds the upper limit.
From the first round to the end of the fifth round of bidding, each person has only one opportunity to respond to the price or take the initiative to make a bid in each round of bidding.
When the hammer is finally sold, if two or more people bid the same, then the corresponding antique works of art will belong to them. This will be reflected in the auction contract.
There is another point. If anyone succeeds in the bidding and successfully takes one of the antique works of art, then stop bidding for other antique works of art, and give others a chance.
That’s all there is to say, everyone must consider carefully when raising their hands to respond to the price, especially the last round of free bidding, everyone must be more cautious when bidding, because there is an unknown upper limit there."
Hearing this, the banquet hall scene suddenly seemed to be boiling, and everyone whispered.
"Let me go! I only heard that there was an auction reserve price. If the reserve price is lower than the reserve price, the auction will pass. Who Cheng Xiang Xiaotian actually came up with an upper limit for the transaction price, and bids higher than the upper limit will be considered invalid! Up!"
"When the free bidding will be held, you must be careful. Who knows what the upper limit of the transaction price set by Xiaotian is, if you accidentally exceed this upper limit, it will be no show!"
While everyone was talking about it, the many professionals who missed the second round of auction and were in this luxurious banquet hall gave Ye Tian a secret thumbs up.
Ye Tian, this kid is too careful in his mind. His approach has effectively avoided the appearance of vicious competition, and he always holds the initiative of auction in his own hands.
Those non-professionals who participated in this round of auctions will neither smash their skins for bidding for a valuable antique artwork, nor will they lose their fortunes, thereby affecting life and family harmony.
I don’t know how Ye Tian this kid came up with this method. His brain structure is definitely different from ordinary people, so it won’t work if you don’t admire it!
Amidst the noise, Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction table, motioned to his two company employees to take out the first antique artwork for auction and display it in public.
Next, the two cultural and museum personnel from the personal exhibition hall of the Forbidden City, according to Ye Tian's instructions, took out a brocade box from the boxes stacked next to the auction table, and gently opened it.
What they took out of the brocade box was a scroll. It should be a Chinese painting. The size did not look big, the paper was not very old, and the history was not too long.
"Open this painting, please enjoy it, and be a little careful"
Ye Tian smiled and said loudly, and gestured to the audience, making a please gesture.
The two company personnel nodded lightly, and then untied the ribbon that tied the scroll, and the two of them cooperated to slowly show the painting before everyone's eyes.
This is a freehand Chinese painting with ink and wash. In the painting is a beautiful scenery in the south of the misty and rainy Jiangnan. A woman with an enchanting figure walks in the alleys with slanting wind and drizzle under an umbrella. The style is light and elegant. Timeless.
At the same time the two company employees showed their paintings, a series of close-up shots of this ink and wash Chinese painting appeared on the large-screen TV at the scene, and the pictures were very clear.
With the appearance of these close-ups, the area where many professionals are located instantly boiled.
"Master of Baoshizhai! I read that right? This is actually a painting by the master of Chinese painting, Fu Baoshi. I can recognize the seal on the painting. It has appeared in other paintings by Master Fu Baoshi!"
"That's right! This is indeed a painting by Master Fu Baoshi. The seal and signature on the painting are all right. Why is Ye Tian this kid willing? It's an exaggeration to bring up such a precious painting for auction!"
Just as these professionals were shocked and discussed, Ye Tianqinglang’s voice was uploaded from the stage and reached everyone's ears.
"The freehand ink painting Chinese painting you see now is the first antique artwork in the second round of auction. I believe someone has already seen it. This painting was made by the famous Chinese painter Fu Baoshi.
The name of this Chinese ink painting is "Wuyi Rain Alley". It is the famous Wuyi Alley along the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. To be precise, it is Wuyi Alley in the rain, a beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
According to my assessment, this freehand Chinese ink painting should be created in the mid-1930s, just a few years after Fu Baoshi returned from studying in Japan, which was the early stage of Fu Baoshi's artistic career.
About this, it can be seen from the rice paper used in this Chinese ink painting, Master Fu Baoshi’s seal and hall number, etc., for reasons of time, I won’t elaborate here! "
Hearing his explanation, the antique art appraisal experts and top collectors who have studied Fu Baoshi's calligraphy and calligraphy all nodded in unison without any objection.
At the same time, these professionals also admired Ye Tian.
This guy is really omnipotent and omnipotent! It seems that there is no antique art that he does not know or does not know, which is ten times more exaggerated than the legend!
Other guests at the scene, although they did not know how to identify antique works of art, and they knew little about the appreciation of ink and wash Chinese painting, but everyone knew what beauty is.
Especially this kind of ink and wash Chinese painting with unique Chinese characteristics originating from Chinese traditional culture, it is more likely to arouse the resonance of everyone's soul!
Undoubtedly, this "Wuyi Rain Alley" is very beautiful, and when seen from a distance, it gives people a beautiful feeling of being in a Jiangnan water village, walking in slanting wind and drizzle.
The enchanting woman in the painting with an oiled paper umbrella and a long skirt seems to be walking past her, curvy and beautiful.
As for the authenticity of this Chinese ink painting, no one at the scene doubted it.
There is no doubt that this must be an early work of the famous Chinese painting master Fu Baoshi, which is very valuable!
Ye Tian, who stood behind the auction booth, was still introducing this ink and wash Chinese painting. His voice was continuously uploaded from the stage and clearly reached everyone in the banquet hall.
"This painting by Master Fu Baoshi was collected by me at a flea market in Lower Manhattan, New York. As for how the foreigner got this painting, it is not known.
You may have heard that I bought the magnificent mansion of the famous collector An Siyuan on Fifth Avenue in New York ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ After buying that mansion, I have carefully studied the relevant information.
In a diary left by An Siyuan, this painting "Wuyi Rain Alley" was mentioned. From this, it can be seen that this painting was probably passed by An Siyuan, but it was lost for some reason.
Like the ten antique works of art that I have photographed before, I can also endorse this painting. You can rest assured to bid and don’t worry about the authenticity of this freehand ink painting! "
His words have not been finished yet, the professionals in the industry in the audience have once again whispered in exclamation.
"No! This turned out to be a Chinese painting that An Siyuan once collected. Needless to say, the market value of this painting will definitely increase!"
"Although this is an early work of Master Fu Baoshi's artistic career, with the endorsements of two top appraisal experts, An Siyuan and Ye Tian, it will definitely be worth more!"
Just as these professionals were talking about it, the auction had already begun.
"This is the end of the introduction to this "Wuyi Rain Alley". The auction is now starting. This painting from the early stage of his artistic career, "Wuyi Rain Alley", has a starting price of one yuan. ..."
In an instant, someone on the scene responded.
"Xiaotian, let me start the game, buddies really like this Jiangnan water village scenery, see if you can get this painting!"
It was Dawei that said these things, and he also raised his arm.
