Chapter 70 I Won Over Thirty Million

"The 15th item, Mr. Gu wrote, is a white porcelain Guanyin seated statue from Zongdehua Kiln in the Ming Dynasty, priced at 60 million.

Mr. Gao wrote about the clear porcelain seated Guanyin statue, 6 million.

The price difference between the two gentlemen is tenfold."

One thing that sticks in my mind is that Dehua white porcelain is famous all over the world for its sound like a chime and as white as jade.

Not only did he see that it was Dehua porcelain, but he also saw that it belonged to He Chaozong?

Why don't I believe it?

He Chaozong was a porcelain sculptor in the Ming Dynasty. He placed great emphasis on the depiction of characters' expressions and often placed characters in specific environments to express themes. Most of his works featured Buddhist figures such as Bodhidharma, Guanyin, and Arhat.

The various ancient Buddhas and gods he created take full advantage of the expressive and freehand advantages of traditional sculptures, subtly expressing the inner world of the characters and full of charm.

At the same time, pay attention to the appearance of the clothing lines. The lines are clear, concise, chic, changeable, soft and smooth, natural turning, round and powerful.

The images created have both common characteristics and different personalities, with both form and spirit, and are full of artistic charm.

The same thing he fired was more realistic than others.

In recent years, the auction prices of He Chaozong's things have been getting higher and higher. Five years ago, things were worth 10 million, but they have risen to 60 million in these years.

"Okay, now let's see the correct answer." Dong Shu said.

The correct answer appeared on the big screen: On the left is a picture of a seated Guanyin, and on the right is written: Ming Dynasty Zongdehua kiln white porcelain Guanyin seated statue, 60 million.

"According to the rules, Mr. Gu wins this game and Mr. Gao loses. Mr. Gao needs to pay 54 million to Mr. Gu."

I smiled coldly: The part I saw was the chest, and I couldn't see He Chaozong's style. I would definitely be able to tell it if I looked at the whole thing, or I could just look at one more part.

"Let's ask Mr. Ma to comment."

Gu Nanhai glanced at Ma Zhice, and Ma Zhice also looked at Gu Nanhai.

A proud smile appeared on Gu Nanhai's face.

Ma Zhice picked up the microphone: "Mr. Gu has very good eyesight. He can tell that it belongs to He Chaozong by just looking at a part of it. It's really rare.

Dehua ceramics have always been famous in the world along with silk and tea, and are known as "treasures of oriental art". The Guanyin statue is one of the common themes of Dehua kilns. He Chaozong is a representative figure of Dehua porcelain. I can't recognize his stuff.

It really shouldn’t be.”

Gu Nanhai laughed again, a sinister smile.

hehe!

Two people who joined forces to cheat said that my level was not high.

What should I say?

I smiled coldly in my heart, I guess it was because Qin Huairuo praised me just now, and all the horses wanted to help Gu Nanhai to slap me in the face.

It's like, if someone says Xi Shi is ugly, Xi Shi must go in one ear and out the other, and someone says Dong Shi is ugly, so there is an allusion that Dong Shi imitates the ugly.

"Next, let's take a look at the 16th item. This item is very special. When Mr. Gu was looking at it, he stayed there for a long time.

Mr. Gao also stayed on this item for a relatively long time.

So, let’s skip this item first. Let’s continue to look at the remaining items 17 to 20. I wonder if the two will be similar again?

Work No. 17, this time, we ask Mr. Gu to reveal the answer at the same time."

Gu Nanhai looked embarrassed, the joy of victory just now was completely gone.

how?

I quickly calculated the wins and losses in my mind. I won once for 24.98 million and lost twice, once for 1.1 million and the other for 54 million.

You just won over 30 million from me and are you not happy?

Do you want to win more?

"Mr. Gu, please show me your answer." Dong Shu said again.

Gu Nanhai opened the answer board and found it was blank.

The audience at the scene exclaimed.

I was immediately shocked. What did he mean?

Do you think it’s too much money to win from me?

No, he probably hasn't written this before.

Dong Shu was also surprised: "Mr. Gu, what does this mean? Is it too late to write the answer?"

Gu Nanhai picked up the phone: "The two places I saw were blank."

When I heard this, I laughed secretly in my heart. Is it because my rules are too harsh, or is it because of your bad luck.

Dong Shu was also a little embarrassed: "Now let's ask Mr. Gao to show his answer."

I revealed the answer: "The Lone Bird" by Bada Shanren of the Ming Dynasty, 62 million.

"Solitary Bird" is 103.5 x 44 centimeters. The entire painting only depicts a waterfowl in the middle and lower part. The bird's eyes are circled a little, and the eyeballs are on top of the eye circles, with an expression of white eyes pointing to the sky. The bird stands on one foot.

He was lying on the ground, with one foot in the air, his neck hunched, his back arched, and his eyes rolled, showing an attitude of being bullied yet unyielding, arrogant and unconventional.

All other places are blank, and the signature is also at the border.

Everywhere he saw was indeed blank.

When Gu Nanhai saw me showing 62 million, his expression twitched unnaturally. I felt that his heart must have been lifted.

"Let's see the correct answer."

The large screen displays: a picture of waterfowl. The waterfowl is at the lower right side of the picture. Most of the upper right corner and the lower left corner of the entire picture are blank.

"Lone Bird Picture", 62 million.

"Congratulations to Mr. Gao. In this round, Mr. Gao won and Mr. Gao received 62 million."

Ah! I won more than 30 million.

Although Gu Nanhai didn't say anything, his face changed from red to green, and from green to black.

"Next, let's look at the 18th item and ask both of you to show your answer at the same time."

"Item No. 18: Jun kiln azure glaze purple-spotted rim plate from Song Dynasty, 30 million yuan."

"Item No. 19: Northern Wei Dynasty gilt bronze Guanyin statue, 1.5 million"

"Items 18 and 19, both of you have the same answer. Next, let's look at the last item and ask you to show your answers."

The last item is revealed, and only item 16 is left.

I showed my answer, and at the same time, I saw Gu Nanhai's answer saying: Modern Oracle Bone Inscription Collection, 100 yuan.

And what I wrote is: Yin Shang oracle bone inscription fragments, 50 million.

"The answers given by Mr. Gu and Mr. Gao are very different. Are Mr. Gu and Mr. Gao adding excitement to our program?

For the first 10 items, the two people's answers were basically the same, but starting from the 15th item, the two people's answers were completely different."

Gu Nanhai said: "Mr. Gao must have answered wrong this time, although I didn't see the answer. Because real Oracle fragments cannot be auctioned. Mr. Gao doesn't even know this bit of common sense. Isn't it too embarrassing?"

I smiled lightly: "Mr. Gu, don't worry, the answer hasn't been revealed yet, let's see and then talk."

"Please look at the big screen."

The large screen displays: On the left: a fragment of oracle bone inscriptions with many inscriptions on it; on the right it reads: A fragment of Yin Shang oracle bone inscriptions, with an auction price of 52 million.

I laughed again: "I underestimated it by 2 million."

Gu Nanhai: "Impossible! China clearly stipulates that it cannot be auctioned, so there is no price. Such things should be priceless."

Gu Nanhai was right.

The price of antiques is sometimes based on the auction price at auction. The more precious the item, the less likely it is to be traded privately unless you can prove that the item is your ancestral property.

In addition, sometimes some auction companies will go to the private sector to collect items, which will also raise the market price. However, most people still accept the auction price.

"Mr. Gu is right. Do you know the origin of this piece of oracle bone? If I guess correctly, it should have been collected from an auction by a patriot at a high price."
