Chapter 332 (2/2)
And if he remembered correctly, the old man had something similar to this. It just looks more precious than this.
Hearing Qiu Yun's introduction to Tang Yueqi, the old man sitting next to Qiu Yun suddenly smelled the speech and turned his head: ”young man, do you say you have seen this kind of plate?”
Qiu Yun looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard, a few years older than the second head, looking at himself seriously, nodding and saying, ”yes, but not at the auction. A while ago, the news seemed to have reported that a man donated such a plate to the Forbidden City. ”
The old man nodded when he heard the speech: ”you're probably talking about the Zhao family. Over the years, they have contributed a lot to the return of national treasures. Unfortunately, even if there are so many enthusiastic people, they still can't help some people's calculations! ”
The old man said here, humed coldly, and his temperament couldn't help being fierce.
”What do you mean, uncle?”
”Now too many people are blinded by money, do everything for their own interests, and even risk their lives to resell cultural relics, so these treasures will fall into the hands of foreigners.”
At this time, the host on the stage also began to introduce the origin of the plate. It turned out to be the spring ploughing round ear plate of the Ming Dynasty.
Tang Yueqi looked at the exquisite exhibit, but frowned suspiciously.
”But I heard that Ming Dynasty porcelain is not rare. Can such a small plate be called a national treasure?”
Tang Yueqi is not very good at antiques, but she also knows some knowledge at dusk. At the moment, seeing Qiu Yun's two people attach so much importance to a plate less than the height of their forearms, they couldn't help wondering.
The old man looked at Tang Yueqi and shook his head silently.
”You are right. Although there are not many porcelains in the Ming Dynasty, there will always be some under the search. The plate on the stage now is not a product of the Ming Dynasty, but an imitation of the Qing Dynasty. ”
At this time, the auctioneer began to introduce the blue and white porcelain vase on the stage. It was just as the old man said.
”It's amazing. How can I know so clearly. But isn't porcelain more common in the Qing Dynasty? ”
Tang Yueqi opened her eyes in surprise. The auctioneer on the stage was like repeating what the old man said.
The old man touched his snow-white beard and said with a slight smile, ”you don't understand. During the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese blue and white porcelain technique was well-known all over the world, but with the change of dynasties, blue and white porcelain also developed differently. This also has something to do with the materials used for blue and white. ” On the other side of the old man sat a young man in a suit and shoes with a straight spirit. At the moment, seeing that the old man actually talked with Qiu Yun and Tang Yueqi, his face was still ruddy and excited. For a moment, he showed a slightly surprised expression. He looked at Qiu Yun and Tang Yueqi, but did not disturb the old man
。 Because it can be seen that the old man's mood at this time is very rare.
”Young man, people all over the world know that blue and white porcelain is beautiful and gentle, but they don't know the origin of it. When Zheng He went to the West for seven times, he brought back the unique Su Ma Liqing in the West. This imported dye is a kind of blue and white almost gem blue under appropriate heat. ”
When they looked at the stage, the bottle was really bright and magnificent, with a faint purple in it.
”During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, a number of official kilns were dyed with some variegated colors during firing, so there was a difference in the precious blue. Everyone said that those official kilns were inferior, and even the doctors at that time were almost killed by the whole family. Only one prince preferred this color at that time.
In the end, only a few of those official kilns were begged by the prince. He enjoyed them day and night and couldn't put it down. Later, the prince became the emperor, but he didn't want to be buried with people when he died, except for ordering this plate. ”
”I didn't expect that there was a big reason for a small porcelain plate.”
”I lived at this age, but I didn't expect to see it for the second time.”
”The second time? Could it be that the old man has something to do with this plate? ” Tang Yueqi was immediately attracted by the old man's words.
This sentence aroused a burst of emotion from the old man.
”Twenty years ago, this plate was sold at a high price of 22 million yuan and finally obtained by a foreign collector. It's really a misfortune for the country that such national treasure level items wander outside! ”
The old man shook his head as he spoke. Today's auction brings together people from all walks of life, including some foreign collectors who are deeply interested in Chinese culture. If this plate is photographed by foreigners again, it is even less likely to spread back.
The host on the stage has made a series of detailed introductions to the plate, and then quoted the base price - 30 million, with a minimum increase of 500000 each time. At the same time, more than ten people raised their cards one after another. It can be seen that this is indeed a very popular item. The price soon soared to $50 million. When a rich foreign businessman showed an elegant smile in front of the crowd, the old man sitting next to Qiu Yun suddenly opened his mouth and sat opposite
The man on the other side said, ”take a picture.”
The young man on one side nodded respectfully. He began to raise his cards to compete with the rich foreign businessman.
”Six thousand three hundred and one thousand times,”
”63 million twice,”
”63 million three times.”
”Deal!”
The old man's face did not have any happy expression. Just sighed heavily“ Alas, what was originally our Chinese stuff has to be bought back at a high price so that it does not flow into the hands of outsiders. ”
This sentence not only makes people feel sad, but also makes Qiu Yun doubt the identity of the old man. Originally thought that the other party might be an old professor of Chinese education, but the strength shown by the other party is really amazing. Afterwards, the old man directly disturbed the whole auction venue. In this auction, the old man sold three things. One is the white jade Pisces jade pendant of the Tang Dynasty, one is a round ear plate, and the other is also a well deserved Chinese treasure - the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha.
