- Then, Liu Yuqing sent the electronic catalog that was almost verified to the printing factory that she had been cooperating with, and asked them to work overtime overnight to print several copies of the catalog.
¡°For old people like Liu Yuanshan and others, printed auction catalogs are far more convenient than electronic catalogs, and they don¡¯t feel tiring to read. As for what needs to be modified, they can also point it out.
And Zhou Xia is sure that some modifications are needed. These old experts are rich in experience, and they think more comprehensively than the two young people whether they look at the problem or use wording.
But the subsequent things basically had nothing to do with Zhou Xia. When Liu Yuqing finished these things, she realized that it was too late.
She said she would treat Zhou Xia to dinner, but Zhou Xia said forget it, just go home and deal with it. Liu Yuqing didn't force it, but she added, "I'll drive you home. It's not easy to fight at this point. And So many auction catalogs. Why didn¡¯t I put it in the car this morning? I have to move it out again this time.¡±
Zhou Xia replied, "This catalog is nothing. I have moved my family to the nearby Mingzhu Community today, and it will be much more convenient to do things in the future."
Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "That's just right, I'll almost go back there. I said, you moved so close to the ghost market better!"
"Go shopping when you have time. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the morning, so I should exercise." Zhou Xia replied. He was very pressed for time now, so he had to take some rest time and go to the ghost market to buy some things.
"You should also pay attention to rest, don't work too hard, and don't rush for the moment." Liu Yuqing advised him.
Zhou Xia nodded and said yes, indicating that she had listened, but Liu Yuqing knew that he would not just listen to her. Anyway, she would try her best to help him. The details depended on him.
Liu Yuqing has a lot of auction catalogs from several auction companies. They all hold autumn auctions in October, including many leading figures in the industry. Every auction company publishes several large auction catalogs. Many senior buyers receive auction catalogs that can fill a room every year. There is absolutely no exaggeration.
Fortunately, Zhou Xia is very strong and can walk very steadily while holding a high stack of auction catalogs.
Liu Yuqing drove him to the downstairs of Mingzhu Community and asked him to rest early. Zhou Xia thanked her and said the same thing to her. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then went back to their homes.
After getting the auction catalog into the house, Zhou Xia went to the community supermarket to buy instant noodles, dumplings, glutinous rice balls and other things and went back, intending to fill her stomach first.
While waiting for the water to boil, Zhou Xia flipped through the catalog he brought back.
Nowadays, all auction catalogs are similar. In Liu Yuqing¡¯s words, they learn from each other. If you have any good ideas and ideas, just use them directly. There is serious homogeneity, and in the end everyone looks the same. .
But the appearance of the catalog does not matter. The most important thing is to have high-quality products that can overwhelm the market and attract buyers.
Zhou Xia flipped through the catalogs of one of the top auction companies in the country and had a rough understanding of the overall situation.
In this autumn auction, there are not many "raw goods", that is, high-quality products that appear infrequently in the market. Many of the lots are faces that have frequently appeared at auctions in recent years. Generally speaking, more than half of the "cooked goods" will rise as the tide rises, and both buyers and sellers expect it to appreciate in value. Of course, there are also some auctions that are in a downward trend, and those who buy them will lose their investment. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in the Chinese calligraphy and painting section.
Gein¡¯s calligraphy and painting sector has a very good mass base. Due to the large number of existing paintings and calligraphy works, there are many participating collectors, and the number of frequent exchanges and sales is relatively high, so they account for a considerable proportion of the overall transaction volume of the antique collection market.
Zhou Xia's current goal is to also take into account the painting and calligraphy sector. Even if there is an archaeological identification system that can accurately identify the age, if you don't know whose painting it is and what the style characteristics of his painting are, it's still quite difficult. A shameful thing. There is no quick way to do this. He can only read more and memorize more. Fortunately, the system has hidden benefits for him and his memory has improved a lot. Otherwise, not to mention identifying authenticity, just memorizing so many famous people would be enough for him.
Su Xiaoru wants to develop in this area, Zhou Xia can make progress together with her, and have someone to keep her company, so learning will not be so boring.
Of course, what Zhou Xia pays most attention to is porcelain, which is his favorite and the field in which he is best at.
But what makes him feel regretful is that even if it is one of the country's leading auction houses, the quality of the porcelain collected in this autumn auction is still not ideal. This reflects the serious reluctance of collectors to sell and their reluctance to put the good things in their hands on such a market.
As usual, there are very few high-quality products that cost tens of millions or even over 100 million. The highest estimate is the Qianlong pastel Buddha statue, which is worth about five million. But Zhou Xia estimated that given the current enthusiasm for Qianlong's imperial power and the enthusiasm for Buddhist statues, it would not be a problem to fetch a price that is more than double the estimated price, that is, more than 10 million.
Relatively speaking, the Yongxuan blue and white porcelain launched by Tiandi Auction Company is definitely one of the best porcelain products in the entire autumn auction.
After filling his stomach, Zhou Xia continued to fight with the auction catalogue.
He focuses on the miscellaneous aspects of porcelain. These are things that he can get started with at the auction preview, which can greatly help and improve his appraisal level.
Zhou Xia doesn't think these are genuine. Many high-quality imitations produced in Jingdezhen have been sent to large-scale auctions organized by major international auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. At these domestic auctions, such high-quality imitations The number of products will only increase. You can't tell the difference just by looking at the photos in the catalog. You have to do it yourself and carefully identify the authenticity.
Of course, there are some things that Zhou Xia can tell through photos, and they are definitely imitations. To paraphrase teacher Zhou Xia, if you see a lot of porcelain, it will be very easy to identify ordinary imitations. You can tell them apart at a glance without looking too much. Just like when a person walks across from you, no matter how bad your eyesight is, you should still be able to tell clearly whether he is a boy or a girl! If you can't tell the difference, I suggest you just change your career and don't go out and embarrass yourself.
Among the porcelain collected by large auction companies, Zhou Xia can tell at a glance that they are imitations, and there are a lot of them. Zhou Xia believes that if you see the real thing at the scene, the characteristics of the imitation will be more obvious, and those items will naturally not require special attention.
Zhou Xia marked some of the lots that needed special attention in detail, and recorded the numbers and names of the lots in a small notebook he carried with him to avoid forgetting them when he arrived.
Studying such auction catalogs is a very interesting thing for Zhou Xia, and he enjoys it because he can learn a lot of new things from it. Even if he is not clear about it, he can also look up relevant information and deepen his knowledge. awareness of them.
He himself has just made an auction catalog for Tiandi Auction Company. He naturally has a deep understanding of the meaning of such an auction catalog.
By early morning, Zhou Xia felt a little sleepy, so he cleaned up and washed up. He planned to sleep for a few hours before going to the ghost market to try his luck.
The alarm clock on the mobile phone that was set rang on time. Zhou Xia quickly got up, cleaned up, and rushed to the ghost market.
When he arrived, there were not many people there, but not long after, the entire ghost market became very popular.
But Zhou Xia looked around the ghost market carefully and found nothing worth selling.
He did see something that was barely worth buying, an ivory pen holder from the late Qing Dynasty. But when Zhou Xia asked the stall owner, he seemed to know that it was a good thing. The price was 50,000 yuan, and he would not lower it any lower.
Zhou Xia didn¡¯t bother with him much. In his opinion, the ivory pen holder was of average carving and not made by a famous artist. He might not buy it if it sold for 20,000 yuan. Because if you buy it, it will be difficult to transfer it out. The guy asked for 50,000 yuan, which is a sky-high price. Unless Zhou Xia is crazy, he will never buy it at such a high price. If he has that spare money, he might as well Save it for hunting for other things.
In the ghost market, Zhou Xia also met Zhao Xiangbo face to face, and he had to go up to say hello honestly.
Zhao Xiangbo is the type who comes for a stroll when there is nothing to do. He shows that he is not interested in false courtesy, but if Zhou Xia dares to turn a blind eye to him, he will definitely be reprimanded.
Zhao Xiangbo asked Zhou Xia with great interest, "Have you received anything good this morning? Take it out for me to see, but don't hide it. Your secret color porcelain water purification cup is still in my hand." "
Zhou Xia was quite speechless towards him. This Zhao Xiangbo was really a complete old gangster, and he could even utter threats like this. Besides, he didn¡¯t have that unlucky luck. He always came across good things and got them at low prices. He only said, ¡°I only fancy an ivory pen holder, but it¡¯s a pity that the price is so expensive. I think , I¡¯d better learn from Professor Zhao and read more and buy less.¡±
Zhao Xiangbo didn¡¯t think Zhou Xia was lying. If it hadn¡¯t been like yesterday, Zhou Xia wouldn¡¯t have concealed the newly unearthed things. This kid must have been even more jealous and wouldn¡¯t have had time to show off. In addition, he has also seen the ivory pen holder. The carving is crude and the painting style is gaudy. It does not have the style that a collection of cultural toys should have. It is a waste of ivory raw materials. It can be said that apart from being a slightly older ivory, it has no collection value at all.
Zhou Xia returned home empty-handed, Zhao Xiangbo felt very happy in his heart, of course??He did not show it directly, but praised him and said, "Zhou Xia, I always thought you just had good eyesight. Unexpectedly, you also have good eyesight!"
Zhou Xia replied, "Professor Zhao has won the prize! In fact, it has nothing to do with vision. The real situation is that I don't have enough capital and dare not squander it. If I have money that I can't spend, I will definitely buy it. After all, it will be a good one." It¡¯s the ivory of the past!¡±
Zhao Xiangbo chuckled, thinking that this kid was really interesting, and his judgment was exactly the same.
The fastest update, please.
