My Wealth is like a Deep Sea
Episode 302
"Lao Zhao, I remember that the copy of Song Dynasty's copy of "Luo Shen Fu Tu" had only four posts, and they were all collected in major museums. How could it appear in the Sotheby's auction?"
Yang Long was a little puzzled.
He remembers that there are only four posts in the Lin Dynasty copy of the Song Dynasty, two in the Royal Museum, one in the Liaonan Provincial Museum, and one in the Freer Museum of Art in the United States.
Whether it is the Imperial Palace Museum, the Liaoning Provincial Museum, or the Freer Museum of Art in the United States are national museums.
It is logically impossible to take out the auction for money.
Could it be that another copy of the Song Dynasty was born?
Zhao Wenbo turned the auction album that he handed down to the page of "Luo Shen Fu Picture" and put it up to Yang Long.
Shaking his head straight, his voice trembled, 21 "It is not a copy of the Song Dynasty but a copy of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The Tang Dynasty copied the copy!"
Yang Long took a deep breath and quickly turned the album in his hand to the page of "Luo Shen Fu".See "Luo Shen Fu Tu" in English, Chinese, German, French and other mainstream languages in the world.
When I saw the distinctive lot of the Tang Dynasty, I even kept my eyes wide open.
The copybook of the Tang Dynasty is still the only copybook of the Tang Dynasty, which is far more valuable than the copybook of the Song Dynasty!
No wonder the guo family wants to buy back.
Yang Long thought a little, and perceptively said:
"In this way, this "Luo Shen Fu Tu" was copied at the same time as that of Gu Kaizhi's "Pictures of Female History"."
He remembers Gu Kaizhi's "Pictures of Women's History", and the earliest preserved copy is the copy of the Tang Dynasty.
The copy style on this picture is similar to that of "Picture of Female History".
"If it is really a copy of the Tang Dynasty, it should be copied in the same period."
Zhao Wenbo nodded affirmatively.
Soon, the auction is about to begin.
The middle-aged man who had left before returned and led several people from the VIP lounge to the auction venue.
At the moment, the auction was crowded, and the venue was very noisy, with people of all colors and accents.
After all, it is Sotheby's auction that their customers come from all over the world.
After entering the venue, several people separated.
Lin Qing and Zhao Wenbo and others went to their reserved seats.
The middle-aged man continued to guide them to the VIP auction room.
However, when I saw Yang Long and Cat in the VIP auction room under the leadership of a middle-aged man, I was panicked.
"Who are those people? They were able to be personally received by Manager Brown and invited to the VIP room!"
Asked a surprised Arab rich man with a turban on his head and a hand full of gold jewelry.
"That's not Mr. Yang, I didn't expect to see Mr. Yang here!"
A local lady from the United States said excitedly.
"Mr. Yang and Carter don't know, you are still in New York!"
A man glanced triumphantly at the ignorance of the people around him, but he was really panicked.
I really hope that what they want tonight is not what I want to shoot!
But in the crowd, there was another person with red eyes, staring fiercely at Yang Long's back.
Entering the VIP area, Katie went to the VIP room that was ready for the auction.
Yang Long chose to go with Mary to the VIP room prepared for her at the auction, and Katie also understood this.
The VIP room has an excellent view. Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows in front of you, you can not only look directly at the auction stand without covering it, but you can also watch the whole venue.
Soon, the auction began.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome everyone to the site of our Sotheby's autumn auction. I am the auctioneer Jim Bruce who presided over this auction!
"In this auction, we photographed a total of forty precious artworks, including nine major species...
"Finally, I wish you all the distinguished guests can buy their favorite collections, and wish this auction a complete success!"
A white auctioneer walked to the auction stand, and he proficiently used the six major languages in the world to make a simple opening speech.
In applause, today's auction began.
"Here we start auctioning our first auction item today, this is a great collection from the Gallic Chicken Country!
"Because he has a great emperor master-Napoleon Bonaparte!"
"Yes, this artwork is Napoleon Bonaparte's commanding sword!"
Jim Bruce excitedly announced that at the same time, a beautiful master of ceremonies walked to the center of the stage with a sword.
Magnificent sword figures are also displayed on the screens around the venue.
It was a spiral hat-shaped commanding sword, and the golden shiny blade of Zhaoshan refracted the dazzling cold light.
Even more striking are the seven sparkling diamonds on the sharkskin scabbard.
At the same time, Jim Bruce's voice also followed the sword into everyone's eyes, and there was a loud noise.
"This sword is a steel sword with gorgeous water lines and patterns on it. It is very rich in the Gallic chickens' passionate romantic feelings even on the battlefield."
"The handle is gold-plated, and the embossed pattern on the back of the sword handle is the Gaul chicken guo emblem. The handle is wrapped in shark skin and wrapped with gold-plated strands."
"It is well known that Napoleon I was the emperor who loved diamonds. Almost all his swords were set with diamonds, and this sword was no exception."
"The scabbard is also made of shark skin. The outer layer is nickel-plated. Seven diamonds are lined up in a row and are neatly embedded in the center of the scabbard.
"Spiral cap-shaped sword head is also inlaid with seven broken diamonds, with the Napoleon family logo below...
"Napoleon once held this sword, crossed the Alps, and achieved the famous victory of the Battle of Marenco. This victory laid the first authority of Napoleon and opened his invincible mythical road!"
"What does Napoleon's command sword mean? Needless to say, the starting price of this artwork is three million US dollars, and each price increase must be at least 100,000 US dollars."
"The auction starts!"
Is a great king famous in Europe!
The sword of such a famous figure in history has a very high historical significance in itself!
Moreover, his identity is a king!
For these rich people, to some extent, they are not a'king'!
As a king, shouldn't there be a king's sword to reflect the strength and dignity of men!
And this sword has its own craftsmanship and value. It was built by the highest Gaul master of Gaul chicken country and decorated with gold and diamonds!
Although many of Napoleon's command swords are still alive, they are all collected in major museums, and few can be reduced to rich collections. This command sword is even more precious!
"$5 million!"
"5.3 million dollars!"
"5.5 million dollars!
The price of this sword is still rising all the way.
"US$5.8 million! VIP No. 55 has shouted a high price of US$5.8 million! Does anyone want to increase the price?"
The exclamation of Jim's worship, "If no one raises the price, this distinguished guest will hold this sword like the Emperor Napoleon and smile proudly in the world!"
But in fact, where is this worship!
He is reminding other customers that if there is no bid, the auction will be gone!
You can only watch others enjoy emperor-like treatment!
As an experienced auctioneer, how to talk and mobilize the scene and atmosphere is very important, and how to inspire other buyers to bid for price increases is also very important.
This is his career and his job, and the price of the auction is directly related to his income!
