Kapitel 470: Chapter 470: The Walking Federal Reserve
The auction started soon and five lots have been sold in a blink of an eye.
These lots include antiques, works of art and a modern handicraft, but none of them are of much value. Ye Tian can't be moved at all, making him even less interested in bidding!
The same is true for Matthew and Fermi. Under Ye Tian's precise analysis and introduction, they have never raised a placard to bid. They are all waiting for valuable targets to appear and that is the time to make a move.
Most of the other people on the scene don't have this kind of treatment. Those who have a little knowledge of antique art can hold back at this time and are not in a hurry to make a move!
Those who have a black eye for antique art and don't understand anything can only rely on passion and eye-friendliness.
At the beginning of the auction, everyone's enthusiasm was high again, so there were not many people bidding, one after another, and occasionally there were active bidding sounds. The scene was very lively and the atmosphere was quite good!
After the fifth lot was sold, a high school girl who assisted the auction immediately took the sixth lot and placed it on the display stand for everyone to appreciate and identify.
At the same time, detailed pictures of this lot started to be played on the big screen.
This is a green pastel vase from China, beautiful and elegant, pink and soft, with a traditional pattern painted on the bottle, which is very beautiful.
When this vase appeared on the display stand, it immediately caused a commotion at the scene.
"Hey! It's a piece of Chinese porcelain. It looks so beautiful! The collection of Chinese antique porcelain has always been very popular. The vase in front of us may be a good antique, worth buying!"
"I feel that the value of this vase will not be too high. If it is a very valuable antique, I believe no one will be willing to donate it for auction, anyway, I won't!"
Amidst the discussion, Ye Tian was also admiring the vase on the display stand. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes. This was the first time it appeared since the auction began.
Obviously, this lot made him a little bit moved!
It is worthy of being one of the most culturally-rich communities in Boston. The residents of the community still have some good products in their hands and it is not a waste of time!
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Steven, is this porcelain from China? It looks very beautiful, but I don't know how valuable it is? Can you explain it, is it collectible?"
This question comes from Matthew and he obviously fell in love with this vase.
Fermi looked a little moved, but he had nothing to do with Ye Tian after all, so he wasn't embarrassed to ask immediately.
Ye Tian turned to look at the two of them and then began to explain to them in a low voice.
"Okay! Let me talk about this vase. It is indeed a porcelain from China. Its full name is the green famille rose bamboo forest Qixian Cong bottle. It is a pretty good Chinese antique!
The green famille rose was created in the Ming Dynasty in China. It has a history of five to six hundred years, but the history of this Cong-style bottle is not so long, only about 100 years. This is the famille rose porcelain of the Republic of China period.
Although the history is not very long, this Cong-style bottle is a fine product of the Republic of China's famille rose. Whether it is tires, glazes, shapes and painting techniques, they all have master standards and should be made by a famous artist!"
In this answer, Ye Tian said very positively and very confidently!
The reason for this self-confidence, of course, stems from what he saw with his eyes. The dazzling white light emitted from this Cong-shaped bottle accurately reflects its age, from the early years of the Republic of China!
The more than a dozen layers of alluring and charming halos on the bottle clearly illustrate its artistic value. There is no doubt that this is a fine porcelain by a master and it is of great value!
While admiring this vase, he also quickly looked through this Cong-style bottle!
The vase is quite well preserved. Except for some slight scratches, there is no other damage. It is a very good collection.
"Awesome! Steven, worthy of being the top professional treasure hunter, has seen so much content in such a short period of time, it is admirable!"
Fermi low praised, his eyes have become extremely bright, and green light shines straight out!
Matthew couldn't get there any better and he looked very excited.
For their performance, Ye Tian had anticipated it and was not surprised. It was the same for the first collection. He was ecstatic and emotional when he saw every authentic product! It takes a long time to know how to converge!
He just smiled and then continued to whisper:
"The firing process of this kind of porcelain is different from others. First, green glaze is applied to the porcelain body sintered at high temperature and the pattern is painted on it and then it is baked at low temperature, which has its own unique beauty.
The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest are seven very famous literati in Chinese history. They lived in the Three Kingdoms period about 1800 years ago. They were called the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest because they often drank and sang together under the bamboo forest.
In traditional Chinese culture, the seven sages of the bamboo forest can refer to uninhibited banquets and entertainment, or refer to irreversible friendship. They can also be used as a metaphor for literati of different customs, which is the realm that many literati yearn for!
You can see the seven sages of the bamboo forest in many traditional Chinese porcelain, paintings and calligraphy works. Compared with other decorative patterns, the cultural taste of the seven sages of the bamboo forest is obviously much higher!
Let's go back to this Cong-style bottle. If you not want to collect it, you can now sell it. This is a pretty good collectible, with a market value of between 150,000 and 200,000 US dollars!"
After speaking, he smiled and looked at Matthew and Fermi to see how they decided to take down this rare collection.
The two old men had been completely stunned, their eyes were staring at the beautiful vase on the display stand, their eyes were extremely hot and the saliva was almost flowing down!
How could they expect to see such expensive antiques at this charity auction? They had never thought about it before! It's almost like dreaming!
However, this is a living reality, right in front of their eyes, within reach, even if they don't believe it!
Regarding Ye Tian's appraisal conclusion, neither Matthew nor Fermi had any doubts and they trusted him very much.
Steven is the top professional treasure hunter. He has made hundreds of millions of fortunes by his sharp eyesight and his skill in hand appraisal. If they doesn't believe him, who else can they trust?
After being sluggish for two or three seconds, the two old men woke up.
Then, Fermi said desperately:
"Matthew, this fascinating antique vase belongs to you. Come and make it. Who will let Steven be your son-in-law! I can only wait for the next opportunity. I hope there will be a good antique here.
I regret now that both of my childrens are sons. If I had daughters are so good, then I will let them take the initiative to attack and snatch Steven from Betty. This kid is a walking Federal Reserve!"
"Hahaha, you old fellow, don't even think about it! Besides, can your daughter be able to see it? Just look at your two sons who are big and rough, you can't even think about it!"
Matthew smiled and nodded, then joked about Fermi.
"Hahaha"
Ye Tian also laughed and at the same time turned his head to look at Fermi's plump body, a chill in his heart suddenly, your daughter? Forget it as soon as possible, I can't afford it!
The one-minute appreciation time passed quickly and the loud voice of the auctioneer rang in everyone's ears again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sixth lot today is a vase. It is an antique porcelain from China with seven old people painted on it. Each figure has a different shape and is lifelike!
This vase is colorful and unique. It is a very good collection. The starting price is still $1. Now we are bidding for $1, $1. Which lady or gentleman should ask for the price? "
Hearing this introduction, Ye Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling a little bit dumbfounded!
I don't know where the great auctioneer came from, he actually called the seven sages of the bamboo forest seven old men! Really uneducated foreigner!
The starting price of $1 did not give him any other ideas!
The starting price of all lots today is $1, which is also in line with the original intention of the charity auction, so that everyone has the opportunity to participate and bid what they can, there is no need to blindly compare!
Although the starting price is only $1, no one will actually bid $1, unless he can withstand the contempt of everyone and does not intend to mix in this piece!
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, Matthew immediately raised the bid number plate and quoted the price loudly.
"200 dollars, Richard!"
"OK! No. 116 is quoted at 200 US dollars from Mr. Matthew Walter, thank you for your support, the current price is 220 US dollars, 220 US dollars, who will answer the price?"
The auctioneer Richard reached out and gestured to Matthew and announced the new price loudly.
Soon someone in the audience raised a placard to ask for a price and began to compete with Matthew for this green famille rose Cong bottle.
Under Ye Tian's secret guidance, Matthew began to adopt a more aggressive bidding method. He always jumped on the quotation every time, constantly exerting pressure on the opponent, in order to repel the opponent as soon as possible and win the vase!
The opponents who joined afterwards, obviously did not have such a strong confidence and they all lost the battle one after another, saying goodbye to this valuable antique vase.
During the bidding process, Cook and Leo both moved a little bit. Several times they wanted to raise a placard to participate in the competition and win this Chinese antique, but they finally resisted it!
They knew in their hearts that this antique vase must be of great value, so bastard Steven wouldn't let people around him take action and prepare to take down the antique.
It's a pity that they have a more important goal today and they absolutely can't compete with this vase, they can only watch it slip past my eyes and fall into Steven's hands.
If they rush to participate in this competition, they will surely attract the crazy revenge of bastard Steven and maybe it will be a big trouble!
Steven that bastard has always been famous for being a trouble maker! It's better not to mess with it!
Without these top professional treasure hunters and collectors coming in and messing up, Matthew was naturally invincible in the competition and soon eliminated all competitors and won this valuable vase.
The final hammer price was $1,200, which was far below Ye Tian's estimate.
The reason why the transaction can be sold at such a low price also depends on the fact that this is a relatively closed auction and there are not many professionals participating, so the price cannot rise.
If there are a large number of professionals participating in the competition, don't even want to win this vase for less than $50,000!
But if there are a large number of professionals in the field of collection, this charity auction will not go on and it will soon come to an end. These are the two aspects of the contradiction!
This situation is very good now, Ye Tian can safely harvest antique artworks without worrying about being messed up for someone!
Of course, he has to stop in moderation, otherwise Matthew and Fermi may become targets of public criticism!
After the hammer fell, Fermi immediately whispered with envy:
"Congratulations, Matthew, for harvesting such a great piece of antique porcelain, I don't know if I have this opportunity today! I hope God bless!"
"Thank you, this is indeed a very good harvest, I believe you will also have the opportunity to harvest, don't worry, wait patiently! The time is still long!"
Matthew said excitedly, smiling very brightly!
As predicted!
After another six or seven rounds, two middle school students brought up an oil painting and placed it on the exhibition stand.
After taking a close look at this oil painting, Ye Tian turned his head and smiled and said:
"Fermi, your chance is here!"
