This miniature jade Buddha from Dunhuang is extremely exquisite and has very fine craftsmanship. It is only fifteen centimeters in height. This jade Buddha has kind eyebrows and kind eyes and a plump and round body.
As soon as the bidding started, a tall-nosed bald foreigner immediately bid 720,000 yuan.
Fan Jianqiang was not in a hurry to increase the price, he was just observing secretly. After a while, another guest who was also a foreigner bid 750,000. Then, after a few rounds of bidding, the price reached 850,000. At this price
, I calmed down at the scene. The jade quality of this pocket jade Buddha is not too precious. It is far inferior to the top-quality Hetian jade binaural vase from the Ming Dynasty. Its preciousness is because it is a Buddha statue.
When the auctioneer shouted 850,000 for the first time, a man with an oriental face shouted the price of one million!
One million euros is equivalent to more than eight million Chinese coins. For this miniature jade Buddha, the price was too high, so several bidders gave up.
Fan Jianqiang was not sure whether the man was Chinese or Japanese and Korean, so he immediately shouted for 1.5 million!
OnePlus added as much as half a million euros, and there was a sensational discussion at the scene.
In order to show his identity, Fan Jianqiang first shouted the price in Chinese. Then he pretended that he made a mistake and shouted again in English. He did this to remind all the people with oriental faces present today that he is Chinese.
Don’t argue with me when buying Chinese cultural relics.
Sure enough, after Fan Jianqiang called out the price, no one continued to increase the price. After three inquiries, the auctioneer made a final decision.
Fan Jianqiang successfully purchased this miniature Dunhuang Jade Buddha.
Fan Jianqiang looked at the Oriental-faced guest from the corner of his eyes, and when they met each other, he saw the Oriental man showing a polite smile and nodding slightly. Fan Jianqiang also gave a friendly smile in return to express his gratitude.
…
Generally speaking, at an auction, if someone is determined to get a certain auction item, they will often quote a very high price in one breath. This is to remind other bidders that I want to buy this item!
This price will almost always be much higher than the auction price, which will prompt others to give up. But if there are still people bidding at this time, they either have a strong desire to get the auction item, or they are maliciously raising the price, or they may even be bidding.
The person arranged by the auction house to avoid unsold auctions or failure to achieve the expected price.
Of course, Mosby Auction House is internationally known for its integrity, so it is unlikely that such a situation will occur.
The second auction item is a top-quality Hetian jade double-eared vase from the late Ming Dynasty. The starting price is one million euros. This starting price is relatively low. Four years ago, there was a vase from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is here.
It was sold by Mosby Auction House for a record price of 57.5 million euros.
In the second round of bidding, Fan Jianqiang once again noticed something fishy. This Hetian jade vase quickly fetched 10 million euros. Fan Qianqiang discovered that whenever he bid, there were several people who had originally bid.
Those who scream frequently will stop shouting.
Fan Qiangqiang could feel that someone was trying to show favor to him, or maybe it was because he was Chinese.
When the price reached 11 million euros, Fan Jianqiang himself was about to give up. The Oriental who smiled kindly at him before raised the price to 11.5 million euros.
Fan Jianqiang sensed that the man's eyes were on him, and subconsciously turned his head to look over. Sure enough, the man smiled at him.
After a slight hesitation, Fan Jianqiang asked for 12 million euros.
Many bidders stopped bidding when they saw that Fan Jianqiang had bid a price far exceeding the going price this time.
Fan Jianqiang took pictures of this cultural relic again!
When the bidding for the third leading inkstone from the Qianlong period began, Fan Jianqiang was too lazy to bid slowly. As soon as the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, Fan Jianqiang stood up directly and said with great enthusiasm: "Ten million
EUR!"
The whole place was silent.
The starting price of the leading inkstone was 1.5 million, and the bidding price was 10 million! This domineering momentum immediately shocked the entire audience!
Even the auctioneer was stunned for several seconds, unable to react.
Is this square inkstone worth so much money?
Could it be that this person has too much money and no place to spend it?
But Fan Jianqiang then shouted: "Together with the next Chinese Han Dynasty pottery pot, I will pay a total of 50 million euros! I want all the cultural relics and national treasures of China!"
At first, the Oriental man who competed with Fan Jianqiang for the Dunhuang Jade Buddha became excited. He looked at the heroic Fan Jianqiang with burning eyes, and his eyes gradually turned red.
The auctioneer was stunned. He did not expect such a situation to occur, but he also knew that the young man who was with the princess and the crown princess had a purple gold card!
He could only remind Fan Jianqiang tactfully that this was against the rules and he still had to abide by the rules when bidding.
Fan Jianqiang was not impulsive, but he had been checking information on the Internet for the past two days and saw too many things about China being bullied and plundered in the late Qing Dynasty. The British and French allied forces plundered the Old Summer Palace, and then the Eight-Power Allied Forces plundered and burned it again, and then took advantage of China
The warlord regime was reduced to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial chaotic period, and China was plundering and plundering. China lost millions of cultural relics and wealth overseas. If it were returned through normal purchasing methods, it would not be able to be purchased in a hundred or even a thousand years.
return!
Why are Chinese cultural relics so popular in the international cultural relics market? It’s not because our Chinese cultural relics are valuable, but because foreigners see China’s enthusiasm for the return of cultural relics and are blackmailing them!
Back then, they stole our cultural relics through war, but now they are asking us to pay exorbitant prices to buy them back! Is this fair?!
Just like the four Chinese cultural relics auctioned today, are they really worth so much money? It's impossible! Any fool can imagine that Chinese cultural products are more expensive than those foreign cultural relics, why don't you gringos
Come to learn Chinese culture?
This is actually robbery and plunder, but in those days, we used strong ships and cannons to rob, but today we use suits and leather shoes, and they are polite and elegant. They look different, but they are essentially the same!
It's not that Fan Jianqiang doesn't care about money, but he just can't swallow the feeling deep in his heart.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless. I respect the rules of the auction house, so just follow them."
Fan Jianqiang calmed down a bit and apologized to the auctioneer.
The auctioneer said politely: "It's understandable."
His just one sentence had a profound meaning. Fan Jianqiang could understand it, and so could the wealthy Chinese people present.
The auctioneer looked around and said loudly: "This gentleman has bid 10 million. Is there anyone else who bids higher than this gentleman? If not... 10 million for the first time! 10 million for the second time..."
At this moment, a person in the distance suddenly said loudly: "Fifteen million!"
The entire audience gasped, and all eyes turned to the person bidding.
But when people saw this person clearly, everyone was shocked. It turned out that this person was Richard! The future successor of the Stevenson family!
A sharp light flashed across Fan Jianqiang's eyes, and he looked straight at Richard.
Is this bastard out of his mind? Isn't he afraid that he will make public the video of his last ugly act towards the princess?
"Sixteen million!" Fan Jianqiang frowned and was about to call out the price. Suddenly, the oriental face quoted a higher price.
Richard smiled and said casually: "As long as it's not you, Mr. Fan, I don't care about anyone else."
Fan Jianqiang turned to look at the Eastern man, and suddenly saw the man shaking his head slowly and imperceptibly. Fan Jianqiang was moved in his heart and stopped bidding.
He smiled coldly at Richard: "Mr. Richard, are you not convinced that you lost 120 million euros to me last time?"
Richard chuckled and said, "I'm really a bit unconvinced."
Fan Jianqiang said: "It doesn't matter, I specialize in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction. Next time you want to bet with me, I will accept it. Next time, let's not play so small. Next time, I will bet 10 billion euros. Do you dare?"
?”
At the auction house, everyone was dumbfounded by the conversation between the two of them. Almost everyone knew who Richard was, but only a few people knew Fan Qianqiang. Seeing Fan Qianqiang and Richard
There was a dispute between Germany and Germany, and everyone speculated about the identity of this Chinese young man who dared to compete with Richard.
…
With a "bang" sound, the auctioneer made the final decision and announced the owner of this leading inkstone.
When the Oriental man won the inkstone, naturally some staff came over to go through the formalities with his subordinates. Just after the next round of auction ended, the Oriental man personally came to Fan Jianqiang holding the dragon head inkstone.
The auctioneer was originally planning to announce the next round of auction, but seeing this scene, he did not announce it immediately. For a while, everyone in the venue was watching.
Richard seemed to realize something and his face turned ugly.
Dongfangren was a middle-aged man in his forties. He walked up to Fan Jianqiang and presented the dragon-head inkstone in his hands with both hands, with a solemn expression: "Mr. Fan, my name is Duan Jinyan. On behalf of my brother Duan Jinyang, I donate this dragon-head inkstone to
Mr. Fan, please accept Mr. Fan."
The scene once again stirred up excitement. No one expected that this man would actually give away something he bought for 16 million euros to others! Sixteen million euros, equivalent to more than 130 million Chinese coins! Just like that
Send it out?
Fan Jianqiang was also stunned and said in surprise: "So you are Uncle Jin Yang's younger brother!"
Fan Jianqiang's Mizong Shou, Mizong Tiger Step and Yin Yang Shuangsha Fist were all taught by Duan Jinyang!
Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man turned out to be the younger brother of an old acquaintance!
"Yes, my brother often talks about you to me, saying that you are extremely talented and a rare talent. James also admires you very much. The reason why I recognized you, Mr. Fan, is because I have watched the videos of your fighting competitions many times.
.”
Fan Qiangqiang smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Jin Yan, James and I are friends of the same generation, so I don't dare to be called Mr. Fan. Uncle Jin Yan, just call me Qiang. In addition, I can't ask for this dragon head inkstone. This is not
Small money! I can’t afford it.”
Duan Jinyan said seriously: "No, if you say 'I want all the Chinese cultural relics and national treasures', I will give it to you! I can see the awe-inspiring righteousness in you, I won't
Wrong person!"
Fan Jianqiang said solemnly: "I really can't accept such a heavy gift! This is inappropriate..."
Duan Jinyan smiled and said: "I can't give you more than that. I only have enough financial resources to buy it, even if it means making a friend!"
At this time, the sensational effect had passed, people were whispering, and on the auction stage, the auctioneer was maintaining order and introducing the next auction item.
Because of this episode, the auctioneer cleverly moved up the auction order for the Han Dynasty pottery pots.
Fan Jianqiang smiled and said: "Uncle Jin Yan, when I buy this cultural relic, we can find a place to have a drink and talk in detail!"
