Enamel was a royal ceramic used by the imperial court in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. It has a very important position in both art and humanistic history, and its collection value is also very high. Like this Qianlong swallow-plum pattern inscribed vase donated by Run Run Shaw
It is a treasure in the palace, and its value is even higher.
The auctioneer named Kang Chuandeng on the stage introduced in a loud voice: "The next thing to be auctioned is the Qianlong Qianlong Yanmei pattern inscribed vase donated by Sir Run Run Shaw for free. This is a palace treasure of the Qing Dynasty. The pattern depicts
It was a sunny spring day, and a pair of swallows danced gracefully over the blooming plum blossoms.
Between the flowers and the willows, there is an atmosphere of love and peace. On the back, there is a poem written according to the scene, "Jade cuts pass through the flowers, and the neon clothes return with the moon". The bottom of the bottle has a blue regular script framed inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year". The color of this bottle is soft.
, the painting is exquisite and the shape is beautiful. It is a superb work from the Qianlong period and is extremely precious."
Perhaps in order to increase the gimmick of the auction, or perhaps to highlight the extraordinary nature of the items he donated, Run Run Shaw also specially invited many master-level antique cultural relic appraisers at home and abroad, especially experts with profound knowledge of cultural relics from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
For many.
When several old experts specializing in the study of Qing Dynasty enamels saw the plum blossom-patterned vase placed in the glass cabinet on the stage, their eyes widened immediately, they held the glasses on their faces vigorously, and marveled excitedly.
Among these people were veteran experts from the Palace Museum in Beijing. They were all deeply attracted by the vase with plum blossom pattern on the stage. They couldn't help but say: "National treasure, it is really a national treasure!"
Several cameras immediately focused on those masters, allowing their expressions to appear in front of the TV audience, further strengthening the preciousness of the vase with plum blossom pattern.
Kang Chuandeng also said in a timely manner: "According to the evaluation and pricing by our experts at Christie's, the starting price of this Qianlong enamel vase with plum blossom pattern is HK$120 million, with an additional price of HK$10 million for each raising of the plaque."
The rich people in the venue were not surprised, but the audience in front of the TV was already very excited, because they had never seen an antique vase worth over 100 million yuan. Once this vase with plum blossom pattern was released, the so-called treasures in front of it were
It immediately became eclipsed.
Before he announced the start of the bidding, someone in the audience held up a sign.
Everyone looked at the person holding the sign over there, and saw that it was a woman in her twenties with delicate features. She was Yang Huiyan, the daughter of Country Garden Chairman Yang Guoqiang.
"She's here too?" Zhou Hao was a little curious. He didn't notice that Yang Huiyan, the future richest woman in China, was also at the party just now. He only noticed her now when he saw her bidding.
In terms of financial resources, Country Garden Group is not inferior to Shaw Wireless.
Sure enough, Run Run Shaw also obviously recognized Yang Huiyan, knowing the strength of the Country Garden Group behind her, so he frowned.
And just after Kang Chuandeng called his cards for the first time, another man in his forties immediately raised his cards.
Glancing at the man, Zhou Hao sneered in his heart, because that man should be the gunman arranged by Run Run Shaw.
In addition to Yang Huiyan and Run Run Shaw's shooter, there were many wealthy people with strong financial resources in the venue. Many people were also interested in the vase with plum blossom pattern. Even Xu Jianming raised his card twice, so the competition was very fierce.
The bidding was fierce, and within a short while, the bidding soared to 190 million.
When Run Run Shaw's shooter raised the sign again, the price had exceeded 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Run Run Run Shaw's face was a little ugly, because he originally wanted to buy the vase back by himself, but the price was a bit high.
At the final stage, the price of the bottle with Yanmei pattern had reached 250 million. Many people present knew the identity of the gunman and understood that Shao Run Run was determined to get it. In order not to offend Shao Run Run too much,
Then they all stopped. Judging from the situation, Run Run Shaw should have bought his vase back.
Kang Chuandeng also called the card twice, and one more call would make it a foregone conclusion. Run Run Shaw also breathed a sigh of relief.
But just when Kang Chuandeng was about to shout for the third time and hammer down, a crisp voice sounded from the audience: "Three hundred million!"
Almost everyone gasped, and the cameras focused on the source of the sound, only to see that the person was Su Lin, who was sitting at the table with Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua!
Facing the camera, Su Lin looked noble and had a smile. She looked like everyone else, and she raised the price by 50 million as soon as she left the house. She really did not lose her "TV Queen" attitude.
Opposite him, Run Run Shaw squinted at Su Lin and Zhou Hao. Sensing his gaze, Su Lin smiled and said, "Actually, we also like this kind of artwork."
Run Run Shaw also smiled back: "One export is 300 million, Miss Su is such a big deal!"
"It's hard to buy a piece of gold." Su Lin's smile remained unchanged, as if he was truly an art lover.
The gunman over there looked anxiously at Run Run Shaw. Shao Run Run's face changed. He gritted his teeth and nodded to the gunman. The gunman understood and immediately raised the card in his hand and raised the price to 310 million.
Yuan.
"Oh? The gentleman over there seems to be very interested in the bottle with the plum blossom pattern." Su Lin smiled deliberately, then raised the card without hesitation and said: "Three hundred and fifty million
Ten thousand."
This time, even Liu Luanhong, Xu Jianming and Li Jiajie looked at Zhou Hao with slightly different eyes. Although it was Su Lin who came forward to bid, they all knew that it was Zhou Hao who made the decision later. And Zhou Hao was not right at all.
I was interested in the enamel vase, but I wanted to disgrace Shaw.
In the eyes of wealthy people like Liu Luanhong and Xu Jianming, even one billion or eighty billion would not be taken seriously, but the overt and covert fighting between Zhou Hao and Run Run Shaw has attracted people's attention. Li Jiajie even had a hint of admiration for Zhou Hao, because they
Although the Li family is much stronger than Run Run Shaw, few people in Hong Kong can compare to Run Run Run Shaw's status. Even Lee Shau Kee regards Run Run Run Shaw as a junior, and Li Jiajie is even more cautious and treads on thin ice.
However, Zhou Hao was able to fight against Run Run Shaw without any scruples. This courage alone impressed Li Jiajie.
Xu Jinsheng over there also sneered at He Xueyun next to him: "Hey, your adulterer is so good at offending people. That old fox, Run Run Shaw, is not a good man or woman."
He Xueyun didn't take Xu Jinsheng's gloating mockery to heart. He only felt that Zhou Hao was so cool and calm in front of Run Run Shaw, and he was even more comfortable with wealthy tycoons such as Xu Jianming and Liu Luanhong. He was really more cowardly and incompetent than Xu Jinsheng.
The man is too strong.
At the end of the auction, Run Run Shaw failed. After raising the price to 400 million, Run Run Shaw determined that Zhou Hao was not deliberately raising the price but was determined to go against himself, so he decisively gave up the auction.
Tug of war.
Su Lin, who represented ATV, won the enamel vase donated by Run Run Shaw in front of the entire Hong Kong audience, which made people feel that ATV had once again overwhelmed TVB in terms of momentum. Moreover, Su Lin paid a sky-high price of 400 million Hong Kong dollars to buy this vase.
The vase has become a hot topic in the city.
"Thanks to Sir Shao for donating this vase with plum blossom pattern, we have the opportunity to obtain such a treasure. Thank you very much Sir Shao." Su Lin said to Sir Shao with a slight smile.
Run Run Shaw's slack facial muscles twitched slightly, and he forced a smile and said: "Miss Su, you have done so much for charity. I should be the one thanking you on behalf of the vast number of people who have benefited."
This vase with plum blossom pattern was originally the finale treasure of the auction, so after completing its auction, the auction should have ended. However, before Kang Chuandeng was about to prepare his concluding remarks, the above message came from the earphones.
information.
Then he said to everyone: "I just received news from the company that our company has just registered the jade unicorn donated by Asia Television for free, and will soon conduct a public auction. At the same time, in order to price this jade unicorn more fairly and reasonably,
Our auction would like to invite the jade research experts from the Palace Museum in Beijing to work with our company’s appraisers to price this jade unicorn.”
As soon as he said this, he attracted the guests of the party and the outside audience. Originally, they were wondering why ATV did not make any donation. Although ATV and TVB are rivals, there should be no separation in this charity.
Each other, and now, after hearing that ATV donated a jade unicorn, especially after Su Lin bought Run Run Shaw's enamel at a sky-high price of 400 million, everyone became even more curious about the jade unicorn that represented ATV.
In order to increase the gimmick, Christie's auction house simply moved the pricing process to the stage and made it public in front of everyone after getting the consent of Wireless.
I saw a few Christie's security personnel carefully moving a brocade box the size of an ordinary rice cooker to the stage. Christie's appraisers and several old experts from the National Palace Museum also immediately surrounded it.
After opening the brocade box, these experts were all stunned, and their stunned looks immediately appeared on the camera.
Therefore, the guests and the audience who could not see what was inside the brocade box were anxiously waiting for them to take out the jade unicorn and have a look.
After Kang Chuandeng's reminder, the appraisers wearing white gloves nervously took out the contents of the brocade box and put them on a special table. The cameras from several directions were also aimed there early, focusing on the picture.
Sent out immediately.
Everyone saw a piece of crystal green appearing in front of their eyes, and the whole hall was suddenly filled with splendor.
On the stand is a unicorn, twenty-five centimeters long and twenty centimeters high, galloping above the auspicious clouds, with lifelike appearance and spirit.
The most eye-catching thing is that this jade unicorn is carved from a whole piece of jade. Just by looking at the brilliant color, you can know that this jade is extraordinary!
