I am doing well in the Siheyuan
Chapter 176: Hiding gold in troubled times, collection in prosperous times!
In the end, this Ming Xuande snowflake gold crown ear square furnace was successfully sold for 1.7 million Chinese yuan.
"Oh, Ye Ming, are you just going to give away this Xuande furnace just like that?" Seeing the copper furnace being auctioned off, Hou Polan was heartbroken. He didn't believe that Ye Ming would easily sell these treasures to others.
Ye Ming smiled calmly: "Don't worry, we are all family." This is just a game. Ye Ming would never easily give away the treasures he had collected with great effort, not to mention that he is not short of money now.
Gold is valuable in troubled times, and antiques are valuable in prosperous times. However, we cannot talk about a truly prosperous time today.
Of course, he did this because the auction house itself was his business.
If you participate in an international auction, you will need to pay a certain percentage of commission to the auction house after the transaction is completed. Now, of course, this is not necessary.
"Congratulations to guest No. 27 for successfully bidding on the Ming Xuande snowflake gold crown-ear square furnace. Next, please take a look at our second lot - the Qing Yongzheng powder green glaze embossed Ruyi ear garlic vase."
"Huh? Isn't this Chunming's bottle? Chunming is also involved?" When Uncle Guan heard the name, his eyes turned to Ye Ming.
Ye Ming explained: "Chun Ming was not involved. This bottle was a gift he gave me a few days ago for some trivial matters at home. Uncle Guan and Marquis Polan should also know about that matter."
After hearing this, the Broken Marquis regretted it deeply: "Alas, that kid has never been so generous to us before. We are really at a big loss this time!"
Han Chunming's family problems could have been solved with money, but Hou Pulan was just watching at the time.
"That boy is quite reasonable." Uncle Guan thought that Han Chunming's gift was a polite act.
Ye Ming continued, "Don't worry, I will buy this item, and I will give Chunming the difference in price."
Uncle Guan knew that Ye Ming would not treat his friends unfairly, so he did not worry too much about it.
.........
Sitting in the back row of the auction house, Su Meng was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. Hearing the bids of tens of thousands of yuan each time, she even suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"I seem to have seen that bottle somewhere!" Su Meng frowned when Han Chunming's bottle appeared.
When Uncle Liu heard this, he immediately became excited: "Mengmeng, think carefully, where did you see it?"
Su Meng recalled: "It seems that Han Chunming had a bottle of similar appearance in his hand. At that time, he was collecting old things outside and often brought some old things home."
Uncle Liu had an idea in his mind: "Han Chunming, your childhood sweetheart? According to what you said, he should have a lot of priceless antiques!"
After the auction, Uncle Liu decided to find Han Chunming to buy the antiques from him. Even if he was unwilling to sell them, he still had Su Meng as a clue!
He knew very well the young man's feelings for Su Meng.
“Congratulations to bidder No. 102 for successfully winning this Qing Dynasty Yongzheng period powder green glaze embossed Ruyi ear garlic vase. Next, we will display our third lot, the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng imperial five-color jade hall rich pattern teapot!”
While the two were talking, the garlic bottle was won by someone else at a high price of three hundred thousand.
"Three hundred thousand? Then Han Chunming is now..."
Su Meng felt a pang of sadness in her heart, as if she could no longer catch up with Han Chunming.
"That bottle should not belong to Han Chunming. He is just a bricklayer and has no right to enter this auction hall!"
Uncle Liu saw through Su Meng's thoughts and comforted her with gentle words.
"When the auction is over, we will go find him and buy all his collections."
Su Meng did not respond, but just stood there in silence.
Every item presented at this moment is a treasure that Uncle Guan, Hou Paolan and Ye Ming have painstakingly collected over the years.
Each one is a rare treasure in the world.
From porcelain to calligraphy and painting, from jade to stationery, the guests enjoyed a visual feast.
Many of them have participated in auction events in Hong Kong before, and the items in this auction are even more precious.
There were over a hundred lots, and none of them were left unsold, with the total transaction amount exceeding 10 million.
“The next lot to be presented is…”
On the stage, the auctioneer deliberately kept the audience in suspense and scanned all the guests with her beautiful eyes.
The auction has been going on for more than three hours, but the atmosphere is getting more and more heated.
Soon, some people realized that what was coming next was the highlight of the day, and they all held their breath and waited. After a while, the entire auction hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
“Please look forward to the Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln celadon glaze sunflower washbasin!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly became lively.
The eyes of the experts flashed with irrepressible joy, while the laymen pricked up their ears, eager to know who this person was and broaden their horizons.
After the etiquette lady carefully brought the sunflower into the venue, everyone involuntarily raised their eyes, wanting to see it more clearly.
"Ye Ming, I didn't expect you to have such a treasure hidden away. If it weren't for this auction, we would never have had the chance to see it!"
Hou Paolian couldn't help himself, for those who are keen on collecting antiques, Ru Kiln, like Ge Kiln, is a rare item that absolutely cannot be missed!
"Mr. Hou, what is so unique about this Ru kiln?"
The big boss had gained a lot today. No matter what type of collection it was, Hou Polang could explain it more thoroughly than the auctioneer on the stage, so he was used to asking him for advice.
“Among the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty – Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun and Ding – Ru Kiln ranks first.
Its shape is elegant and magnificent, and the glaze is made of precious agate, with a unique color that changes infinitely with the light. As an ancient poem says, "After the rain, the sky clears and the clouds break."
"The porcelain is delicate and smooth, and the body is as plump and round as a Dong woman. The glaze is thick and sounds like a chime when struck. It is bright but not dazzling. The surface is covered with tiny cracks like cicada wings. People praise it as 'like jade but not jade, but better than jade'. It is really beautiful!"
Hou Polan's narration was like singing, and people could not help but immerse themselves in it as he shook his head.
He has a special liking for an octagonal cup from the Ge kiln, and deep in his heart he has always longed to own a treasure from the Ru kiln, and his anticipation was revealed in his words.
Although the leader only partially understood what was said, the noble status of Ru Kiln was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Then, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Ye Ming.
"Hey, Ye Ming, I remember you said before that you collected three Ru kiln pieces in the countryside. Is this one of them?"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Guan became restless and stared at Ye Ming with wide eyes, looking extremely surprised.
Hou Polan was also full of doubts, but since these words came from the mouth of a big leader, they were highly credible.
The Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln was only produced for about twenty years. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been highly sought after and can be regarded as a national treasure that everyone dreams of obtaining.
If Ye Ming really had three Ru kiln pieces of such level in his hands now, it would be truly shocking!
"How could this be possible? You must have remembered it wrongly, sir! I was talking about the official kiln, and the broken porcelain!"
