Chapter 918: To Each His Own
The Northern Song Dynasty official kiln Cong bottle was successfully auctioned, and the transaction price was 342 million yuan, while the reserve price set by Ye Tian was 268 million, a lot of premium, which is a big profit!
After a thunderous round of applause, the next lot was quickly unveiled in front of everyone's eyes.
The pictures on several big screens changed again, and Ye Tianqing's voice followed, reaching the ears of everyone at the scene and in the lounge.
"Look, this is the second lot this afternoon, from Shen Zhou, a master of Ming Dynasty painting, one of the four Ming Dynasty painters, and the founder of the Wumen School, "Cai Ling Tu", created when Shen Zhou was forty years old.
For decades, this painting had been in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum in Japan, and I got it through exchange, and then brought it back to China and displayed it in front of everyone's eyes!
This is one of Shen Zhouzhong's early representative works, the painting style is elegant and delicate, which is very different from his vigorous painting style in his later years, and the artistic value is extraordinary, and it is definitely a rare top work of art, which is worth collecting!
Moreover, this painting is in good condition, with an orderly and clear context, and there is almost no doubt about it, and the seals and inscriptions of those famous people of the past dynasties on the painting can greatly enhance its value,......"
At the same time as Ye Tian introduced, the scene of the exhibition hall was boiling again, and every corner was full of discussions.
"It's finally here! This is my food! Dude is here for this painting, what are you waiting for? Roll up your sleeves, who else can I be!
If the highest price of this painting is more than 100 million yuan, we will stop eating completely, and there will be no drama at all!"
"Probably not, the highest transaction record for Shen Zhou's paintings is 150 million yuan, this is his early middle and early works, although it is also a rare top artwork, but it is very difficult to exceed 100 million!
In other words, we can still participate in this bidding! Maybe we can win this treasure, unlike the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln Cong bottle just now, which can only be watched!
After a few whispers, many interested buyers of the painting have begun to bow their heads and work hard, filling in the quotation and bidding numbers, ready to enter the battle.
Without exception, each of them is full of confidence and looks determined to win.
Unfortunately, there was only one winning bidder, and all the other buyers who participated in the bidding were doomed to be disappointed.
Next, they can only set their sights on other top-notch antique artworks that have not yet been auctioned, choose new targets from them, and fight again!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had finished his introduction.
More than a dozen attendants then walked into the auditorium and began to collect the white envelopes filled out with the offers, and then threw them all into the bidding box!
Soon, several notaries came to the bidding box and began to publicize the offers of many bidders and open the bids.
As the quotations were presented on the big screen, the exhibition hall suddenly became more lively.
A few minutes later, the auction hammer in Ye Tian's right hand was gently raised and quickly fell.
"Bang!"
The sound of the auction hammer resounded throughout the exhibition hall, and another top-notch artwork was successfully auctioned.
Immediately after, Ye Tian's passionate voice came into everyone's ears.
The winning bidder is the No. 215 buyer, Mr. Dong, a famous collector from Suzhou, congratulations on winning this Shen Zhou's "Cai Ling Tu".
Shen Zhou is the founder of the Wumen School, which originated in Suzhou, and the content of this painting is the beautiful and charming scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as the words fell, the winning bidder in the audience immediately responded, and his voice sounded very excited.
"You're right, Xiao Ye, Shen Zhou is from Suzhou, I like his paintings very much, especially those that reflect the scenery of our hometown, and they are my favorite!
In the past, when I encountered this kind of painting, as long as the price was reasonable, I would usually shoot it and bring it back to Suzhou for collection.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The applause burst out and was very warm.
Everyone at the scene applauded, for this top famous painting that returned to China, and for Shen Zhou's beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town!
When the applause fell, the next lot immediately appeared on several large screens, and appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a very beautiful antique porcelain!
Ye Tian's explanation came immediately, concise and to the point, very professional.
"Everyone, please look at the big screen, this is a shadow green holding pot, from the Southern Song Dynasty Hutian kiln, in good condition, glaze color, fresh and beautiful, elegant and refined,......"
In the following time, professional explanations like this have been coming to everyone's ears.
With these explanations, a piece of top antique artwork appeared on the big screen one after another, appearing in front of everyone's eyes, each of which was intoxicating, and I was extremely eager to take it for myself!
Through Ye Tian's hands, these top antique artworks that returned to China from overseas were all successfully auctioned, and each found a new owner.
After the completion of the delivery procedures, they will fly to various places, in this land where they should exist most, shine dazzlingly, show charming charm, and bring people the enjoyment of beauty.
The atmosphere in the exhibition hall is getting hotter and hotter, and it is gradually approaching the boiling point!
Ye Tianqing's voice, the sound of the auction hammer falling, people's discussions, cheers and applause one after another, complemented each other, and together performed a moving colorful movement.

With these two national treasures, in the field of Mi Fu calligraphy and painting art research in the Northern Song Dynasty, I believe that Rong Bao Zhai will become the most authoritative unit in the industry, and the Forbidden City is far from it!"
The new owner of this Kangxi pastel figure lid jar is the No. 308 buyer, Mr. Zhao, a famous collector from Jinan!"
