The first round of auction ended with perfect results.
The little guys gathered at the front of the stage had dispersed and happily ran back to their seats to show off their achievements to their parents and accept praise.
As for their parents, needless to say, they were all so happy that their mouths were split open to the back of their heads, their faces full of ecstasy, and they made no secret of it!
To them, today's wedding banquet was a great value and they could say they returned home with a full load.
The total value of the antique coins that I got before, plus the antique artwork that my baby bought, may be enough to pay for the various expenses that my baby needs from now until adulthood, and there may even be a surplus.
Everyone of them is grateful to Ye Tian.
They also knew very well that this was Ye Tian trying different ways to help him, and he did it very cleverly, taking everyone's face into consideration, which was heartwarming.
While they were praising and hugging their babies and kissing them non-stop, the top collectors, antique art appraisal experts, and other professionals in the banquet hall were all staring at them.
Especially the managers of several famous auction houses, their eyes were extremely hot and their eyes were almost red.
Obviously, these senior professionals in the industry are already thinking about their own ideas. To be more precise, they are thinking about those antique works of art that have just been auctioned and caused commotion again and again.
Although those antique artworks are not priceless, they are quite rare and valuable, and each has its own characteristics and has great collection value. How can these insiders miss it?
At this time, Ye Tian had returned to the center of the stage, standing behind the temporarily arranged auction table, and kicked off the second round of auction.
"Hello everyone, the second round of auction will be next, but before the second round of auction starts, I need to explain some things in advance to avoid some unexpected situations.
The people participating in this round of bidding are all non-professionals. They have probably never participated in an antique art auction before and are not familiar with the auction process, so I will still guide you.
When each piece of antique art is auctioned, everyone can only passively respond to the bid in the first four rounds of the auction. I will call out the quotation of the relevant antique artwork, and you decide whether to raise your hand to accept the bid.
In the last round, which is the fifth round of bidding, everyone is free to bid. The bid closest to the upper limit of the auction price I gave will be the winner. Any bid higher than the upper limit will be considered invalid.
I have given the upper limit of the transaction price of all the antique artworks auctioned in this round to the notary. Every time an item is auctioned, the notary will announce the upper limit of the transaction price of the corresponding antique artwork.
The reason for doing this is to be open and transparent, so that no one will say that your bid was higher and why you lost to your opponent with a lower bid. It was because your bid exceeded the upper limit.
From the first round until the end of the fifth round of bidding, in each round of bidding, everyone has only one chance to respond or take the initiative to bid, and cannot change it at will, otherwise it will be endless.
When the hammer finally falls, if two or more people bid the same, then the corresponding antique artwork will be jointly owned by them, which will be reflected in the auction contract.
Another point is that if anyone successfully bids for one of the antique works of art, then they should not bid on other antique works of art, and give others a chance.
That’s all I have to say. Everyone must think carefully when raising their hands to accept the bid, especially in the last round of free bidding. Everyone must be more cautious when bidding, because there is an unknown upper limit there.”
Hearing this, the banquet hall suddenly felt like a pot was boiling, and everyone started talking in whispers.
"I'll go! In the past, I only heard that there is a reserve price for auctions. If it is lower than the reserve price, the auction will be rejected. Who would have thought that this guy Xiaotian actually came up with a maximum transaction price, and bids higher than the upper limit will be considered invalid. ! What an eye-opener!"
"You must be careful when doing free bidding later. Who knows what the upper limit of the transaction price set by Xiaotian is? If you accidentally exceed this upper limit, it will be out of luck!"
While everyone was talking about it, many professionals who had missed the second round of auction and were in this luxurious banquet hall secretly gave Ye Tian a thumbs up.
Ye Tian is too thoughtful. His approach effectively avoided vicious competition and always kept the initiative in the auction in his own hands.
The non-professionals participating in this round of auctions will neither risk their lives in order to bid for a valuable antique artwork, nor will they go bankrupt and affect their lives and family harmony.
I don’t know how Ye Tian came up with this method. His brain structure must be different from ordinary people, and it’s hard not to admire him!
Amidst the noise, Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction table, signaled his two company employees to take out the first piece of antique art to be auctioned and display it in public.
Next, the two cultural and museum personnel from the Forbidden City's personal exhibition hall, following Ye Tian's instructions, took out a brocade box from the boxes piled next to the auction table and opened it gently.
What they took out from the brocade box was a scroll, which should be a Chinese painting. The size did not look large, the paper was not very old, and the history was not too old.
"Open this painting, please enjoy it and be a little careful"
Ye Tian said loudly with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation to the audience.
The two company personnel nodded slightly, and then untied the ribbon that tied the scroll. They cooperated and slowly displayed the painting in front of everyone.
This is an ink-and-wash freehand Chinese painting. The painting shows a beautiful scenery in the misty rainy south of the Yangtze River. An enchanting woman is holding an umbrella and walking in an alley with a slanting wind and drizzle. The painting style is light and agile. Elegant and meaningful.
While the two company employees were showing off the paintings, a series of close-ups of the ink and wash Chinese painting also appeared on the large-screen TV. The pictures were very clear.
With the appearance of these close-up shots, the area where many professionals were located instantly boiled.
"Master of Baoshizhai! Am I right? This is actually a painting by the master of traditional Chinese painting Fu Baoshi. I can recognize the seal on the painting. It has appeared in other paintings of master Fu Baoshi!"
"That's right! This is indeed a painting by Master Fu Baoshi. The seal and signature on the painting are fine. How could Ye Tian give it up? It's too exaggerated to put such a precious painting up for auction!"
Just when these professionals were shocked and talking a lot, Ye Tian's clear voice came from the stage and reached the ears of everyone present.
“The ink-and-wash freehand Chinese painting you are seeing now is the first antique artwork in the second round of auctions. I believe someone has already figured out that this painting was created by the famous Chinese painting master Baoshi.
The name of this Chinese ink painting is "Wo Yi Lane". The painting is the famous Crow Clothes Lane by the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. To be more precise, it is the Crow Clothes Lane in the rain, a beautiful scenery of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
According to my appraisal, this freehand Chinese painting with ink and wash should have been created in the mid-1930s, when Fu Baoshi had just returned from studying in Japan. It was the early stage of Fu Baoshi's artistic career.
This can be seen from the rice paper used in this Chinese ink painting, the seal and hall number of Master Fu Baoshi, etc. Due to time constraints, I will not go into detail here! ”
Hearing his explanation, the antique art appraisal experts and top collectors who had studied Fu Baoshi's calligraphy and painting art in the audience all nodded unanimously without any objection.
At the same time, these professionals all admired Ye Tian.
This guy really knows everything and knows everything! It seemed that there was no antique artwork that he didn't know or recognize. It was ten times more exaggerated than the legend!
Although the other guests at the scene did not know how to identify antique artworks and had little knowledge of appreciating ink and freehand Chinese paintings, they all understood what beauty is.
Especially this kind of freehand Chinese painting with ink and wash, which originates from traditional Chinese culture and has unique Chinese characteristics, is more likely to resonate with everyone's hearts!
There is no doubt that this painting "Wo Yi Yu Lane" is very beautiful. Looking from a distance, it gives people a wonderful feeling of being in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, walking in the slanting wind and drizzle.
The enchanting woman in the painting holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a long skirt seemed to be walking past her eyes, graceful and beautiful.
As for the authenticity of this Chinese ink painting, no one at the scene had any doubts.
There is no doubt that this must be a work from the early stage of the artistic career of the famous Chinese painting master Baoshi. It is worth a lot of money!
Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction table, was still introducing this Chinese ink painting. His voice kept coming from the stage and clearly reached the ears of everyone in the banquet hall.
“I collected this painting by Master Fu Baoshi at a flea market in lower Manhattan, New York. How the foreign stall owner obtained this painting is unknown.
You may have heard that I bought the famous collector Ellsworth's gorgeous mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York. After buying the house, I carefully researched the relevant information.
In a diary left by Ellsworth, he once mentioned the painting "Rainy Lane". From this, it can be seen that this painting probably passed through Ellsworth's hands and was lost for unknown reasons. .
Similar to the ten antique works of art auctioned before, I can also endorse this painting. You can bid with confidence and don’t have to worry about the authenticity of this freehand Chinese ink painting! ”
Before he finished speaking, the professionals in the audience were already exclaiming in low voices again.
"No! This is actually a Chinese painting that Ellsworth once collected. Needless to say, the market value of this painting will definitely increase because of this!"
"Although this is a work from the early stage of Master Fu Baoshi's artistic career, with the endorsement of two top appraisal experts, Ellsworth Ellsworth and Ye Tian, the value will definitely double!"
While these professionals were talking about it, the auction had already begun.
"That's it for the introduction of "Wo Yi Yu Xiang", the auction starts now, this early painting of Master Fu Baoshi's artistic career, "Wo Yi Yu Xiang", the starting price is one yuan, who Price should be paid,..."
In an instant, someone on the scene responded.
"Xiaotian, let me start this. I really like this Jiangnan water town scenery. Let's see if we can win this painting!"
The one who said these words was Dawei, who also raised his arms.
