Chapter 225 of Xin Zi Juan: Touched and Ambition (make up for yesterday’s)
Feng Ziying is a complete layman when it comes to ancient bronzes. The Xuande furnace can roughly estimate the price, but it is really difficult to estimate a two-thousand-year-old object like the Four Tigers and Dragon Pattern Bean. I like it.
Maybe it's a priceless treasure, and those who don't like it may not be willing to take thirty or fifty taels of silver.
However, King Zhonghui next to him was obviously an expert. Even though he was far away, he could get a general idea from Xu Hongjun's introduction, "These bronzes from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were considered the most fashionable in that era, because they were
We don’t have porcelain. Although we do have iron ware, it is not solemn and easy to rust. Therefore, the most popular ones are bronze ware, which is also the most prosperous era..." "Old Shi, I don’t understand this stuff very well. Do you think you can collect it?
Is it valuable? "King Zhongshun obviously doesn't understand this kind of thing." Ninth Brother, it depends on what you think. It is definitely valuable to collect, but the premise is that it is definitely good for your own use, but if you want to store it for a few years
If you sell it, I'm afraid there won't be much growth. If you put this kind of thing in an antique store for ten or eight years, you may not be able to find a buyer, but once someone is willing to buy it, you can definitely make a lot of money, so take this kind of thing out.
Pawns must be sold at a huge discount, as they are easier to sell than Xuande furnaces."
King Zhonghui's introduction is very straightforward. If you like it as a collection, it must be a good item, but if you think it will increase in value and be passed down to your family, that may not be the case.
We are still discussing here, but the bidding has started over there. The base price of this bean with four tigers and dragon pattern is only 1,600 taels, which is quite different from Xu Hongjun’s estimate. This may also be because there are not many fans of this kind of object.
However, there were still people raising placards soon, but compared to the time of Xuande Lu, the number of people was much smaller. There were only three people raising placards in total, and when the placards reached 1,800 taels, there were no more people.
I'm willing to raise my sign.
In the end, the four-tiger and dragon-patterned bean was sold for 1,800 taels, but Feng Ziying was still very satisfied. This kind of bronze from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a popular item, so it would be great if someone wanted it, and there was a slight increase, you know.
When several court officials made valuations, the lowest one only gave a base price of 1,000 taels. It was only thanks to Xu Hongjun's support that the base price of 1,600 taels was set. Now that it is sold at a premium, it can be considered that there is no loss of share.
Son.
"Ziying, these bronzes are not very popular. The Ministry of Finance is counting on you. If they are all these items, I think everyone will be disappointed in the future." King Zhongshun saw that he only paid a premium.
It was sold with only two hundred taels. The competition was far less fierce than the first Xuande stove, and I was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the front is just an appetizer, and the really valuable things must be placed at the back. Just watch, something good will come soon." Feng Ziying is confident, and today there are more than a hundred items in the collection, even if
A large part of the latter items may not be able to be auctioned so well, but he is confident that these items in the middle will fetch a good price.
"Oh? Then Gu should take a look. If there is really something good, I won't hesitate to support you." King Zhongshun said.
"Then the prince will wait and see." Feng Ziying smiled slightly.
Soon the third utensil was brought out. When this end came out, everyone's eyes immediately converged. The utensil was so bright and colorful under the light of several ram's horn lamps, it was really confusing.
"Hey, this looks a bit like a plum vase, but this color is really rare." King Zhonghui sat upright suddenly, his eyes blazing.
"Old Shi, this plum vase is blue in color. This is the first time I have seen it. I have two Jun kiln ones at home. I have never encountered one of this kind of blue." Prince Zhongxin continued.
"Well, it is indeed rare. I have only seen it once, but it is much different than this bottle and is a bit incomplete." King Zhonghui nodded, "Let's listen to their introduction and you will know the situation."
"Bulky shoulders, thin bottom, circle feet, short neck, small mouth, if plum blossoms are inserted, it will make you forget the vulgarity and complement each other." Feng Ziying also smiled and agreed: "Yes, it is a plum vase. In the former Song Dynasty, it was also called a sutra vase."
The people in the private room upstairs were talking, and Mo Houguang below also started to introduce, "Everyone, everyone in the know knows that this is a plum vase, also called a sutra vase. It has a blue glaze as the ground and is decorated with white dragon patterns. It is bright in color and the dragon is hidden.
It is in the clouds, but it has the potential to break the heavens and open the earth. You can take a look. This dragon is a characteristic of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. It has a high head, a curved belly and a snake tail, and fine scales. Look at the fire bead pattern and flow below.
The cloud pattern, the blue glaze is deep and simple, the blue and white glaze is fresh and bright, the contrast between the two glazes is sharp, the glaze is thick and shiny, it can be said to be a fine product of Meng Yuan plum vase..."
"Now, I would like to invite Cai Deqing from Cai Ji Pawn Shop to introduce us to such a porcelain treasure from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties..."
Cai Deqing coughed, and then started with his somewhat deep voice: "Everyone, I would like to introduce the plum vase of the Yuan Dynasty. The plum vase originated in the Tang Dynasty and was more popular in the Song and Liao dynasties. The Yuan Dynasty has actually entered the
In the middle period, the plum vase types were also divided into several craft techniques, such as single-color glaze, composite glaze, over-glaze painting, under-glaze painting, etc., each with its own characteristics..."
"The valuation of this plum vase given by the old man is 3,800 taels. Considering that it is well preserved and almost flawless, the price can be increased by one level, probably around 4,200 taels..."
Cai Deqing was much crisper and clearer than the first two, and gave the suggested price readily, which made Feng Ziying breathe a sigh of relief.
If we really follow the example of the first two people, who can sell hundreds of taels of silver items for two cups of tea, they probably won't be able to sell even 20 items that morning. If they want to successfully sell the more than 100 kinds of utensils today, then
Don't you have to work overtime to go to tomorrow morning?
The suggested price given by Cai Deqing still aroused discussion among many people in the private room and the lobby. After all, this price is much more expensive than the previous two items.
Three thousand taels is a big deal. Generally speaking, the guests in the lobby, even if they are interested in picking up and buying a few things, have to check whether they have enough money in their pockets. There are merchants who can easily afford more than three thousand taels.
There are not many people in the capital city, but there are still some prominent ones. The number of guests who applied for the auction is only one or two hundred, and many of them just come to join in the fun. They may not really dare to make a move and are truly capable.
The guests in these twenty-two private rooms must be the big ones.
However, there are always some customers who know the goods or want to show off. After Mo Houguang started to enter the bidding process, there were still five or six people in the audience raising placards. This surprised Feng Ziying. The starting price of three thousand taels is not a small amount.
, during the bidding process of five or six people, it was quickly raised to a high of 4,500 taels.
Goods exceeding 3,000 taels will no longer be bid at a 10% price increase, but will be bid in increments of 200 taels, while goods exceeding 10,000 taels will be bid in increments of 500 taels. This is also to avoid rising prices.
The range is too large, which is not conducive to bidding.
"Five thousand taels!" When the guest in room A, room 6, shouted out the price, the guests in the lobby were almost silent, but soon the guest in room C, room 3, joined the bidding and raised the price to five.
One thousand, two hundred taels, and finally the guest in Room No. 6 with the word A won out with 5,800 taels and got this Yuan Dynasty plum vase.
Feng Ziying silently calculated that the base price of three thousand taels was almost double the premium. Such a premium was something she had never thought of before. This was not an ordinary item of three to five hundred taels. Doubling the value was almost
A huge profit. It is true that the base price of three thousand is a bit low, but as Cai Deqing said, four thousand two hundred taels is a fair price, but the increase is still 40%. This shows that in this environment, through this method,
The effect of preliminary rendering preparation work is obvious.
In this way, the income from this sale may experience a growth that was previously unimaginable, and even far exceed the best previous assumptions.
Dad, Hu Bu and the Ministry of War were still arguing over how much silver they should take to the northwest. Hu Bu insisted that the profits from this sale might not be as good as expected, but Dad also dropped the ball with Hu Bu and the Ministry of War.
, if the income does not meet expectations, it will be resigned at the base price of 300,000 taels. But if it meets expectations, it will cost 500,000 taels. If it exceeds expectations, it will cost 600,000 or even 800,000 taels. The Ministry of Household Affairs and
The Ministry of War did not dare to bet against his father on this issue, but his tone was somewhat relaxed, that is, if the sales situation was really good, then the military expenditure for the northwest could indeed be appropriately increased.
Abai glanced at Netu and was shocked in his heart.
A so-called Yuan Dynasty plum vase can be sold for more than 5,000 taels of silver, and looking at this attitude, people don't seem to care too much, which makes Abai couldn't help but sigh.
Dazhou is so rich. With more than 5,800 taels of silver, how much grain and iron can it buy, and how much firecrackers and cloth can it sell?
Whether Jianzhou Jurchen can take it out, of course he can, even if his family just needs a little bit of money, it's not a big deal, but Jianzhou Jurchen has a problem with someone like me who can casually take out 5,800 taels of silver.
How many? Thirty or fifty? What about Dazhou? Three thousand or five thousand?
A hundred times stronger and richer than his own, it’s no wonder that Zhou Dynasty can fight against itself and Mongolia alone, and can even fight leisurely with Yang Yinglong’s rebellious troops in the southwest. If it were his own side, I’m afraid he would have been defeated several times.
Already.
Having been in Dazhou for so long, Abai was more and more shocked by the wealth and prosperity of Dazhou, but the more this happened, the more contradictory his mood became.
Not only were they afraid and worried about the power and wealth of the Zhou Dynasty, Jianzhou Jurchen was like an ant in front of it, but they were also greedy and ambitious. Such a prosperous and prosperous place was actually occupied by a group of Han people who only cared about greed and fighting for power.
Even though the Jianzhou Jurchens cannot be said to have gone south to the Central Plains, Liaodong should at least belong to the Jianzhou Jurchens. Abai is sure of this!
