Chapter 6 Chenghua Doucai

Wang Dongrui looked proud, and Liu Yuqing continued to praise, "Mr. Wang's collection is indeed rich, and even treasures like Chenghua Doucai are collected."

Wang Dongrui did not hand the chicken cup directly to them, but carefully placed it on the table and then invited them to appreciate it. This is what the antique collection industry calls hand-hand, porcelain, jade and other fragile items, when handing over, are usually placed on a flat fixed table and then handed over to others. If you hand it directly to others, once there is a problem, you will easily quarrel and shirke the responsibility.

Liu Yuqing naturally appreciates it first, and Zhou Xia can see clearly without getting started.

This Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup is indeed quite good, and it looks pleasing to the eye just by looking at it.

The cup is small and exquisite, with flexible outlines, hidden in the straight line, and straight in the curve, presenting a dignified and graceful charm. The outer wall of the cup is decorated with two groups of hens, with lake stones, roses and orchids, a scene of early spring.

Liu Yuqing looks very serious and meticulous. She carefully appreciates the chicken jar cup from all angles and aspects.

Finally, I saw the bottom. The bottom side of the chicken jar cup was unglazed around the foot, and the blue and white columns in the bottom center were six characters in regular script: "Made in the Chenghua Year of the Ming Dynasty" in regular script.

"It's a rare fine work of Chenghua Doucai! Zhou Xia, you can take a look, this is a rare opportunity." After Liu Yuqing put the chicken jar cup, she asked him to watch it.

Of course, Wang Dongrui would not care. In fact, he liked this feeling of sharing happiness, which is the meaning of collection.

Zhou Xia politely thanked them before he started watching.

He had only seen Chenghua Doucai in museums before. Although he had heard a lot of theoretical knowledge on books and from others, and had some understanding of the characteristics of Chenghua Doucai, he was far less shocking than the close contact he had now.

After getting started, he found that the surface of the chicken jar cup was quite delicate and smooth, with a full texture, just like the skin of a lover, and it was easy to rub the emotions. Then he made detailed arguments from the rolling, design, texture drawing, pattern and color. This chicken jar cup was performed quite perfectly, all of which were exquisite. This is a true artistic beauty that makes people intoxicated.

Of course, he did not forget to use the archaeological identification system for identification.

"This artifact was made in 1478 AD!"

Zhou Xia thought it was during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that Wang Dongrui, a little-known collector, did not have a false reputation, and the collections in his hands still have genuine products.

While he was doing appreciation, Liu Yuqing was already talking to Wang Dongrui about the participation of the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup in the auction.

"Mr. Wang is sure to entrust this Chenghua Doucai to our auction company for auction?"

Wang Dongrui replied with a smile, "Of course, it still catches your eyes."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "The more high-quality products like this, the better. I believe Mr. Wang has not taken out a lot."

Wang Dongrui immediately said, "I don't have that many good things."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is not willing to bear it!"

Wang Dongrui laughed but said nothing.

Seeing Zhou Xia reluctantly putting the chicken cup back on the coffee table, Liu Yuqing asked him, "Zhou Xia, what do you think?"

Zhou Xia nodded and replied with a little excitement, "Absolute masterpiece, I have gained some knowledge this time. I never thought that Chenghua Doucai would be so beautiful and shocking. Thank you Mr. Wang for giving me this opportunity to appreciate such artistic treasures."

"This is the joy of collecting. In addition to feeling the artistic beauty, we can also experience the rich historical connotation contained in it. This cannot be measured by money." Wang Dongrui added next to him, with a kind smile on his face.

Zhou Xia nodded and said, "I've been taught!"

Liu Yuqing sighed lightly, "It's a pity that people are in the world and can't help but talk about mundane things in the end. Our estimated price of this porcelain is 1.2 million. When the real auction is auctioned, there will definitely be no fewer competitors for such high-quality products, and the price will often rise a lot. I estimate that the transaction price will be about 2 million by then. What do you think, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Dongrui nodded. He was also very clear about the market and knew that Liu Yuqing's judgment was quite pertinent. "The price is very suitable. Although this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cowl Cup is exquisite, it is a small item after all. It's a pity to have the previous Hongwu underglaze red lotus pattern bowl that was genuine...

He still felt a little regretful, but that's all.

In addition to encouraging him to participate in the auction of collections, Liu Yuqing also encouraged him to consume. "What type of collection Mr. Wang needs, please tell us, and we will collect more fine products to appear at the auction."

Wang Dongrui laughed, "I have a wide range of hobbies. As long as it is a fine product, I will definitely go to the scene to observe it."

Subsequently, Liu Yuqing signed a commissioned auction agreement with Wang Dongrui for this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. Now there is a relatively mature plan that can be done without Zhou Xia's help.

Zhou Xia still knew very well that although the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Garland Cup was good, it could not be promoted as the finale like the previous Hongwu underglaze red. There was still a big difference between the big bowl and the small cup, whether it was value or publicity.

This means that there are still no finale products at the autumn auction of Tiandi Auction Company. It is obviously unrealistic to want to get good things from Wang Dongrui to auction. He is willing to hand over the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup to them for auction, which has given them great face. As a human being, you cannot be insatiable.

Zhou Xia felt that he had the responsibility to help Tiandi Auction Company get out of the current dilemma. After all, he was the cause of this incident.

From the time he broke the porcelain to the present, he has been busy all the time and has no time to sort out his ideas.

He is not like Liu Yuqing, with many connections and channels. Despite this, the number of auction items she can collect is still very limited. If Zhou Xia really wants to help, there is only one way to go, that is, go to Taobao by herself.

Of course, he faces great difficulties. Today, when fakes are rampant, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a bargain, and he doesn’t have much capital. After one year of graduation, he only saved 10,000 yuan, and it is impossible to buy too good things.

Without letting him think too much, after signing the contract, Liu Yuqing and Wang Dongrui chatted for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.

Zhou Xia, the follower, was also responsible for keeping Wang Dongrui's Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. The chicken cup was packaged in a special brocade box as usual. With the lessons of the past, he would have to be more careful this time. If he let Liu Yuqing down, he would have to make things happen before. He would just wipe his neck without others taking action, so as not to be embarrassed.

When Liu Yuqing drove back to the company, she also said to Zhou Xia, "Mr. Wang is also a good person. She is willing to hand over the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup to us for auction. But we have to collect a few more fine items. Otherwise, these items will compete with other auction companies now, and there will be no advantage. Zhou Xia will have to work harder these days, so it's okay!"

Zhou Xia immediately replied, "No problem, I think it will be more rewarding to visit customers when I visit them. It is unrealistic to wait for the items to come."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "This is natural. I will call more than two days to contact us. It is best to charge your phone at any time."

Zhou Xia said it was OK and also made suggestions, "In fact, it is good to go to the antique market to see it. Maybe you can choose one or two fine products. At that time, you only need to convince the owner of the antique shop."

Liu Yuqing hehe, "This is not an easy task. Nowadays, antique shop owners are as smart as monkeys. If they are not familiar, they will definitely hand over the things to us for auction. Unless we buy them ourselves... Hehe, so we should not waste time on this."

Zhou Xia nodded and said yes. According to common sense, she made a lot of sense. Because auction houses collect other people's collections instead of buying them for auction. Auction houses do not need to take such risks, because regardless of whether the collection is authentic or not, the auction houses auction other people's collections are guaranteed for purchases. As long as the commission agreement is reached, the auction house will charge fees. Of course, the auction house will generally try its best to promote transactions, because once the goods are sold, the auction house can earn more commissions from both the auctioneer and the bidder.

He soon returned to the Tiandi Auction Company, and Zhou Xia brought this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup into the company.

Xu Zhendong, the company's chief appraiser, got the moon first. He was the first to get started. After focusing on his energy and carefully appreciated it, he could not help but exclaim sincerely, "Mr. Wang is really generous. Not only did he not blame us, he was willing to hand over such a fine Chenghua Doucai to us for operation. Such Chenghua Doucai has good quality and taste, and is deeply rooted in the essence of Chenghua Doucai. What's more rare is that it has no flaws and can be regarded as a treasure in the artwork. It is difficult for ordinary people to meet each other, let alone like now, you can start appraising yourself. After the auction is on, more people can see its beauty. I dare to assert that the competition for this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup will definitely be quite fierce at this autumn auction."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "I was overjoyed at the time. By the way, Master Xu, the estimated price of this Chenghua Doucai is 1.2 million, which is not too low!"

Xu Zhen, Dongzhe, smiled kindly and said, "No, one and two million are just right. Although the chicken jar cup is exquisite, it is a small item after all, and it is not as easy to increase in price. However, once the competition starts, no one can say it. It is not impossible to buy two or three million. Yuqing, you are good at your current level. How great would it be for those kids in my family to make your progress."

Liu Yuqing said a little sadly, "They all have their own careers, not like me, thanks to the family's family, just a gangster's life."

"Can their random things be called career? It's good to not ruin your family. Forget it, let's not talk about these things, someone will send them to you later, but I don't think there is a big show." Xu Zhendong didn't want to mention Liu Yuqing's family affairs. After all, every family has a difficult sutra. Even if she has the ability, she cannot occupy a core position. Otherwise, the general manager of the company would not be Liu Suifeng.

Zhou Xia heard the helplessness in her words, and thought that these grievances of wealthy families were really more exciting than the eight o'clock TV series.
