Chapter 3: Picture of the King giving away his son?
Although the things at the auction are good, they can be considered high-quality products outside.
However, there is no way to verify authenticity at auction.
A lot of fakes have been sold at auctions. After the fakes are sold, handing them over to the auction house will ruin your reputation.
Therefore, most businesses do not dare to put exhibits at auction whose authenticity is not confirmed.
If the reputation is bad, it will be difficult to sell things in the future.
However, there is still no stopping the rat turds who run away as soon as they make a fortune.
Just like what they have done before, but their purpose is to defraud foreigners' money, while those who defraud their own people's money are essentially different.
Lin Ran thought the good things at this auction were pretty good.
In fact, he didn't think those were fakes, but the purpose of his visit today was not for the auction, but to build a good relationship with Huaner.
Something must be said to get his attention.
Warner did not sell the items in the auction just now, mainly because he felt that there was nothing worth buying.
It’s not that I think the product is bad, it’s that the price is not right.
His mission is to buy as many cultural relics as possible to return to China to enrich the museum's collection.
Unless it is something particularly precious, it is a pity that such a national treasure collection cannot be handed over to a small auction house.
It’s normal for things at auction to be more expensive.
Attending auctions is mainly to obtain some exquisite products that cannot be bought outside. As times change and the economy improves, the premiums for collections will become higher.
But this is the logic of ordinary collectors. Warner is not particular about this aspect. They do not intend to take the things back and sell them. They just use them as national collections and as a symbol of comprehensive strength.
None of the things in front of him were worthy of his sale, so he never raised a price.
However, when he heard the kid next door saying it was a fake, he couldn't help but become interested.
He also looked carefully at the things he took before.
China's culture is very ancient, so he couldn't tell the truth from the false.
Warner smiled and whispered: "How come there are fakes in the auction house? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out by them?"
However, Warner's voice was obviously lowered.
In fact, before coming to the auction, the person who brought him in recognized Lin Ran.
The man told Warner that Lin Ran was known as Mr. Lin, a very high-level appraiser with a noble character!
Warner looked at Lin Ran and thought, isn't he just a young man?
But I just heard him introduce the exhibits to Yang Jianlong. Whether it is the source or the tasting results, they are almost the same as the auctioneer's copywriting, which can be called a textbook appraisal level.
However, the price he gave for the auction was cheap.
Warner thought to himself that he did know many teams of tomb robbers, but it was a pity that the education level of those tomb robbers was too low, and they were just like barbarians, full of swear words.
The level of appreciation of cultural relics is even more appalling.
What he needs is high-quality products, not just any cultural relics that can be bought on the street.
Therefore, I came up with the idea of finding a professional treasure appraiser.
Unfortunately, most people in the treasure appraisal industry do not like to see foreigners, fearing that they will steal their treasures.
He also understood, but as a missionary, he had already understood a truth.
There is no pure soul in the world. If you can't get it, it can only be because the price is not right.
As long as a sufficient price is paid, anyone can be sent by him.
After hearing about Lin Ran, he even came up with the idea of dragging this little master into trouble!
So when he entered the venue, he expressed goodwill to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran smiled and said: "It's too complicated to explain. This is not the right place for discussion. If you are interested, sir, we can talk later after the auction is over."
It was necessary to keep quiet at the auction, and Yang Jianlong sat next to him to speak in a low voice.
Otherwise, they would have been driven away by the staff maintaining order.
Warner also happened to want to talk to Lin Ran, so he readily agreed.
Seeing Lin Ran's appearance, Warner thought that Lin Ran was like everyone else, because he was a foreigner, so he had the idea of flattering him.
This is a common problem among most people in this era.
The auction is gradually coming to an end.
The auctioneer excitedly introduced on the stage: "Next will be our last exhibit this time. I noticed that some friends haven't bought anything yet, so you are in luck!"
She even tried to trick it out in a pretentious manner.
As the staff brought the last collection to the exhibition stand, the audience in the audience gasped.
Two staff members unrolled the scroll painting.
This calligraphy and painting is about five meters long. There are more than 20 characters in the picture, including ghosts, gods and auspicious animals.
The most majestic among them is the King of Heaven, who is solemnly dressed and intimidating.
Many ministers gathered around, looking extremely respectful.
Behind the scenes, ghosts and gods bared their teeth and claws, and auspicious beasts came to life.
It creates a sharp contrast between the images of heaven and earth, noble and humble.
Who else but Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty could have such a brushstroke!
"This picture is exactly Wu Daozi's "Picture of the King Sending His Son Off"!"
The auctioneer no longer needs other words to describe it. The three words Wu Daozi represent the value of this painting.
Everyone at the auction was moved.
Even small businessmen who couldn't afford the money couldn't help but crane their necks to take a look at this treasure passed down from generation to generation.
Warner's curiosity was also aroused. When he saw everyone's expressions, he knew that this must be a good treasure.
So he was sure to get it, and his heart moved.
After viewing the painting, two staff members rolled it up and rearranged it on the stand.
The auctioneer smiled slightly: "The reserve price of this painting is 2000 yuan, now you can start bidding!"
Warner was obviously moved. Looking at the pious expressions of the people around him, he immediately judged that this was a precious treasure.
Calligraphy and painting are traditional cultural relics of China.
Wu Daozi also sounded famous, and he wanted to win it.
As long as it is transported back to the Canadian Museum, it will definitely bring him great reputation, and maybe it can directly upgrade him by two levels.
After hearing Wu Daozi's name, the audience also caused a huge sensation.
As a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty and known as the Saint of Painting, he left less than a hundred works.
Moreover, since most of the paintings are about ghosts and gods, they are somewhat ironic.
This style is appreciated both at home and abroad, and many paintings have been exported overseas.
In China, every painting is highly sought after, and it is a hot collection in the literary and art world.
If you spend 2000 yuan to buy this painting, you will definitely not suffer a loss.
As long as you keep it in your hands and keep it, it will [-]% increase in value.
Even if it only relies on Wu Daozi, there is no fear that no one will take over his works in the future.
The audience in the venue were eager to take possession of this painting.
After the auction started, people offered high prices one after another!
