Text Chapter 100: A lot of "leakage"

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    However, Zhou Xia then thought again. If this painting was really the masterpiece of Ni Zan, even Su Xiaoru, a fledgling rookie, could find it in the auction catalog, as would all the experienced veterans!

    Especially those old experts who specialize in ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting, they can also discover this work.

    In today¡¯s era of big auctions, everyone¡¯s information situation is actually similar. It¡¯s impossible to say who is better than anyone else. What you can see can be seen by everyone else.

    Of course, in this case, it would be inconvenient for Zhou Xia to tell Su Xiaoru, for fear of damaging her confidence. It was not easy for him to build up her confidence.

    Su Xiaoru was naturally very happy when she discovered such a calligraphy and painting work that might be a "leak".

    Without waiting for Zhou Xia to say more, she turned on the computer and looked up the detailed information about Ni Zan's painting.

    But this check didn't matter. The more she looked, the more confused she became. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and turned to ask Zhou Xia, "Brother, I found a very strange question! Like this, at Poly's previous auction  It has also been auctioned! And the price is not low, with an estimate of two million, and the final price was more than six million. Do you think this painting may be a fake? "

    Zhou Xia replied, "I can't say for sure now. I'm not that capable. I can make an accurate identification just by looking at photos like this. Only after I go to the site and see the real thing can I know  Real results."

    Such an answer obviously did not satisfy Su Xiaoru. She also whispered, "I think, Poly, no matter what, it is more reputable than this unknown auction company. If the paintings in these two paintings are real,  If a painting is fake, I would prefer the one that has been auctioned before to be authentic.¡±

    Zhou Xia nodded, he felt the same way.

    Su Xiaoru¡¯s mood became increasingly depressed, and the previous excitement no longer existed. ¡°Moreover, this painting is being auctioned with no reserve price. Are there really so many good things in this world? I think it¡¯s quite suspenseful!¡±

    Zhou Xia said, "It's pointless to think so much now. Before seeing the real thing, all possibilities exist. What we need to do now is to check all the information as much as possible. For example, this  How many pictures are there? It is possible that there are two pictures that are both true."

    Su Xiaoru hurriedly flipped through the information. After a while, she became happy and said to Zhou Xia, "Brother, there really is yours. According to records, there are six frames in total! It is really possible that both paintings are Ni Zan's."  An absolutely authentic work."

    Zhou Xia really wanted her not to be happy too early, but in the end she couldn't say it out loud.  He still felt that it would be better to give her some hope and hope.

    At that moment, he followed her words and said with a smile, "Hey, hey, just say it! Xiaoru, please record its number. When the preview comes, we will pay special attention to it. If it is indeed authentic, then  Let¡¯s invest together to take it down.¡±

    Su Xiaoru nodded and said yes, and she was looking forward to it in her heart. If she could really buy it at a low price, not to mention making a huge profit by flipping it, it would be a pleasant thing to just keep it for herself and appreciate it!

    In addition, without Zhou Xia's need to say more, Su Xiaoru became more and more concerned about these auction items without reserve prices.

    She also found that among the items auctioned at high reserve prices, there was still a high chance of quality products being produced.  Moreover, there are many interesting things, such as dragon robes, memorials, letters from famous people, etc., etc., etc., all kinds of things.

    This was a big test for her when she was looking through the auction catalogues, and it would be even more of a test when she came to the site in person.

    She even fantasizes about picking up items at low prices at auctions.

    Unlike her, Zhou Xia still puts more energy into those auction items with estimated prices.

    To be honest, it is not easy to find something missing at an auction.

    But as long as you have good eyesight and a unique vision, you can still get good things at low prices.

    This puts even higher demands on bidders. First of all, it is only the most basic skill to judge whether something is genuine or not.  There are a lot of fakes and imitations at auctions. If you buy them at a high price, go home and find a corner to cry!

    Secondly, you must have a clear understanding and judgment of the future price trend of the auction items. Maybe at the next auction, the item you bought for one million this time will increase to three or four million.  If you have bad vision and get mad, you raise your sign to take pictures at a high price, and if the price plummets in the future, you will suffer terrible losses.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are a lot of offers of all kinds and if you don¡¯t pay attention, you have greed in your heart, or you can¡¯t stand other people¡¯s stimulation, you willIt may lead to a situation where you can't put down the sign while holding it up, and the road ends in darkness.  This kind of scene is undoubtedly what the auction company is most happy to see, and it is also the seller's favorite scene.  Zhou Xia also hopes that the few things he sent for auction will arouse everyone's pursuit and sell them at a good price.  But in other auctions, he plays the role of a bidder. Naturally, he hopes that there will be as few people competing with him and the price will be as low as possible.

    This is human nature, and Zhou Xia doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

    At the moment, he, like Su Xiaoru, is studying ancient Chinese paintings, and he himself has taken a fancy to several undervalued works.

    For example, the pre-auction estimate of a mirror by Shi Tao was only 100,000 to 150,000.

    But judging from the photos in the catalogue, the style of this painting is very similar to that of Shi Tao, and the size is not small. If it is authentic, its value should be far more than this.  If Jiu Wan could be auctioned at the highest estimate, Zhou Xia would definitely take action without hesitation.

    Therefore, he marked it in advance and went to the scene to join in the fun and see if he could buy it.

    ¡°In addition, there is a painting of crabgrass, which is estimated to cost only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

    But Zhou Xia felt that no matter what, such a painting would cost over 100,000 yuan.

    He is an auctioneer himself, and he also knows that there may be a strategy similar to that of their Tiandi Auction Company.  The price was deliberately lowered to attract people.

    Although this trick is not new, it is indeed very effective.

    There are many people who want to take advantage, and Zhou Xia himself is like this, let alone those who have less self-control than him.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of the house, everyone went to join in the fun, and they all held the idea in their hearts that they might be able to buy it at a low price, and it didn't matter if they couldn't buy it.

    In addition, Zhou Xia also likes several undervalued works, such as Luo Pin's, which is estimated to be only between 250,000 and 350,000.

    As the youngest player among the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou, Luo Pin¡¯s strength cannot be ignored.

    But judging from the photos in the auction catalog, his painting shows his extraordinary skills.  He is good at figure painting, especially the figures of immortals and Buddhas.

    The Avalokitesvara in this work is kind-hearted, dignified and elegant, and is so lifelike that it is easy for people to connect it with the legendary Avalokitesvara.

    The most rare thing is that the inscription on this painting is written in regular script. The handwriting is clear and smooth, and it is very dignified.

    Works like this are particularly popular in the market, especially those business owners who believe in Buddhism.

    Zhou Xia thought about it, if this painting is authentic, even if it is one million, not to mention 350,000, it will be worth it.

    For such a painting, Zhou Xia's own strength feels a little inadequate.  If there were a few more competitors, it wouldn't be difficult to easily raise the price to two million.

    He thought about it and thought that he could bring Xu Yaohui in together. He knew many big bosses, and these rich bosses didn't care how much money they spent as long as they liked something they liked.  In particular, this is the work of a professional painter with the most comprehensive skills among the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, and has the widest audience in the East China Sea area.

    He naturally wants to remember it on the small book. As long as he can take it down, it is absolutely not a problem.

    Zhou Xia is also thinking about discussing with Xu Yaohui first, and even finding the financial backers in advance. As long as they are sure that it is genuine, they can still take pictures of it even if the price is high. Anyway, they won't have to pay the bill then, and they will make a profit.  Just pay for the intermediate fee.

    There is also an antique landscape volume by Cai Songyuan, which is estimated to be worth just over 10,000 yuan. Even from Zhou Xia's layman's perspective, the true value of this work should not be so low.

    There are many reasons for this. It may be the strategy of the auction house, or it may be that the auction house is not optimistic about this painting and thinks it may be a high imitation, so the valuation is not high.

    But no matter what, Zhou Xia marked these possibly "missed" lots in advance, went to the preview site, and made an accurate appraisal before considering whether they were worth selling.  If the competition is not fierce, he can consider it. Otherwise, he still plans to invest his limited budget in porcelain.

    Zhou Xia will definitely not be able to handle these matters by himself. His main focus is still on getting hold of fine porcelain.

    Fortunately, he had helpers. Su Xiaoru was the most enthusiastic about his notes. Seeing how many "leaks" Zhou Xia had marked, she was very happy. AnqianMa Houdi looked up the information involved in each work.  She wants to learn appraisal anyway, and if she can make some money while learning, she will definitely not object.

    In this way, both of them are very motivated. Su Xiaoru is looking forward to the recent autumn shooting starting soon so that she can go to the scene in person to feel the atmosphere and touch the real products. It would be best if she can pick up a few "missed" items.  But no!  (To be continued
