Endless Rebirth

It was a private auction, so there were not many rules. After the auctioneer came on stage to explain the rules, it started directly.

The staff placed the auction items on the table, projected the items, introduced them to the auctioneer, presented relevant materials and certificates, and then began to announce the bidding.

The first batch of items to be auctioned are not antiques, but a batch of limited edition luxury products, such as brand-name bags, watches, jewelry, jewelry, etc.

Ivan invited many wealthy people to gather in the name of a charity auction, so at the beginning, basically everyone took photos of a few items to show their support.

These items at the beginning were basically swept away.In addition to cheering for Ivan, these limited edition luxury goods also have collection value, so you won’t suffer any loss if you take them.

Li Shixun also took action several times. In addition to taking pictures of several limited edition brand-name bags for Sika, he also took pictures of a pocket watch with collectible value for himself.

The atmosphere at the opening was good. After all, those who came to the auction dinner would bring their female companions with them. The lots at the opening were very pleasing to them.

After the first batch of auctions ended, half an hour passed unknowingly. Ivan gave everyone a 10-minute break, and then the auction started immediately.

This time it was the antiques entrusted by Sotheby's. The auctioneer lifted the red cloth on the table and a set of porcelain appeared in front of everyone.

The first item that started the auction was antique porcelain from the Celestial Dynasty. This piqued Li Qingyuan's interest. He inadvertently sat up straight and listened carefully to the auctioneer's words.

What surprised him was the antique porcelain on the table.It turned out not to be the blue and white porcelain or teacups he thought, but three complete sets of kiln-building rabbit-hair lamps.

He was blind when it came to antiques and had no idea what the value of the three black bowls on the table was.This is the first time I heard the name Tuhaozhan.

Searching the Internet on his mobile phone, he realized that this rabbit hair lamp had a great origin and was also very famous.Rabbit-haired porcelain is a special kind of black-glazed porcelain, which is most famous for being fired at the Jian Kiln in Shuiji Town, Jianyang County.

Black-glazed porcelain was extremely popular in the Song Dynasty, which was related to the tea drinking culture at that time.

In the Song Dynasty, tea was made into semi-fermented paste cakes. Before drinking, the paste cakes were crushed into fine powder and put into a tea bowl.Then pour in boiling water, and a layer of white foam will boil on the water surface.

In the Song Dynasty, everyone from the emperor to the literati loved "tea fighting", which is to evaluate the quality of tea.

In recent years, with the popularity of collecting, Song porcelain has been sought after by many people, and rabbit hair lamps have gradually found a market.According to the introduction of the auctioneer on the stage.These are three [golden halo lamps] that are rare and similar in appearance. They have Sotheby's appraisal certificates, confirming that they are genuine.

The starting price for this set of black-glazed porcelain reached an astonishing US$100 million, which made Li Shixun speechless.I used to always hear how valuable antiques are, and I thought it was deliberately exaggerated, but now I am personally involved.Really a little surprised.

He knew nothing about antiques, but after all, this set was a fine piece of black-glazed porcelain from the Song Dynasty. It couldn't fall into the hands of outsiders and try to bid for it.

But, there was someone who was faster than him!

"150 million!" Mitsui Shunyi raised his hand and bid.

Li Shixun was moved. Mitsui Ayako said before that she came to the auction for antiques. Could this set of Song porcelain be one of her purposes?

"180 million!" Li Shixun raised his hand to bid. He wanted to see how determined the Mitsui family was.

"Damn it. It's this kid again!" Mitsui Junyi heard Li Shixun's price call and cursed in a low voice with an ugly face.

Mitsui Ayako looked at him with a slight frown, "Show some grace, Junyi, you must always remember that everything you say and do outside will affect outsiders' views of the family and represent the family's face. Don't lose it." Measured."

"Yes, I know!" Mitsui Shunyi said with a gloomy face, glanced at the expressionless Miki Kawashima next to him, and then bid again: "200 million!"

The auctioneer on the stage was extremely happy. The price of this set of porcelain was actually 100 million.The reason why I brought it out was to test everyone's reaction. After all, there are mostly Western rich people here, and items from the ancient Eastern countries are not very popular.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was taken out, there were people bidding, which made the auctioneer gradually become excited.

The reason why Sotheby's took out this batch of antiques was actually to build a reputation. After all, everyone here is a top-notch rich person. Even if one of them is auctioned, they will make a profit.

Now, the auctioneer is confident enough that the next auction will go smoothly.

Because every antique that follows is a rare masterpiece.

"230 million!" Li Shixun didn't care about this. He had recently received an unexpected fortune, and when he was proud, he didn't have to worry about making a move and directly added 30.

"230 million, this gentleman bids 230 million, is there anyone else..."

"250 million!" Mitsui Shunyi added another 20.

"Okay, the gentleman on the left bids 250 million, 250 million. Is there anyone who wants to increase the bid? I'm asking again, 250 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

"250 million, deal done! Congratulations to this gentleman!"

Congratulations!Mitsui Shunyi's face turned pale as he listened to the auctioneer's slobbering words on the stage.The moment Li Shixun didn't follow the price increase, he realized that he had been tricked and that the boy had done it on purpose.

Not only did he raise the price, he also made himself a figure of two hundred and fifty, which made people laugh.

Next to her, Miki Kawashima had a smile hidden in her eyes. Li Shixun looked so bad and bad, and she liked it.

After the first item was auctioned, the staff immediately took out the second item.

This is a purple clay teapot. The price of purple clay teapots is booming in the auction market. Even Westerners are interested in it. They all look at the items on the stage with keen eyes and listen to the auctioneer's introduction.

This purple clay pot has an exquisite shape, simple lines, and smooth and delicate walls.The most important thing is that there is a signature on the bottom of the purple clay teapot.

According to the auctioneer, this is one of Mansheng's eighteen styles of mirror tile pots.

Inscription on the pot: Jian Fetching Water, Wa Chengze, Spring Source, Moisturizing Infinitely. ?

Mansheng pots are simple and dignified in shape. The pots are mainly geometric in shape and can be divided into four categories:

One type is based on ancient bronzes and Han tiles, which are in the shape of pots, such as the "mirror tiles" that draw on the shape of bronze mirrors. The "Stone Peach Pot" which draws on copper and water hanging shapes, and the "Feihong Yannian" which draws on Han bricks and tiles Pot", "half-tile pot", "brick square pot", etc.

The second category refers to the pot shape borrowed from daily utensils, such as "Hedou Pot", "Zhuji Pot", "Jinglan Pot", "Ruo Li Pot", "Dianhe Pot", "Acacia Pot", etc.

The third category is the pot shape that imitates the shapes of animals and plants, such as "gourd pot", "gourd pot", "round bead pot", "Tianji pot", etc.

The fourth category is to design the shape of the pot according to its function, such as "Guchun Pot", "Jizhi Pot", "Chunsheng Pot", etc.

Emphasis on practical functions is a major feature of Mansheng teapots. Regardless of the shape of the teapot, it can be used to make tea. The teapot's capacity, height, and spout configuration are all very particular.

After Li Shixun checked the information on his mobile phone, he immediately made up his mind to get this purple clay pot.

One pot of Mansheng's Eighteen Styles is hard to find, but now there is a genuine product in front of him that he cannot miss. (To be continued.)
