Chapter 5 The Han Dynasty Bronze Sword

Qidian's backstage was in a mess again, just came in. △w.

———

What is a little different from other auction houses is that Sato Auction House was established relatively late and was established in 1990. The scope of auction items covers a considerable number of types. This method undoubtedly attracted customers of different purposes and avoided the occurrence of a single taste.

Each VIP room has a beautifully printed auction item introduction manual. The seemingly thin brochures have been designed. Some pictures that are easily attractive to buy are specially enlarged. Even Zhang Yang, who is not planning to buy anything, was moved when he saw the thing.

After the works of a Japanese carving master were auctioned, the auctions seemed a bit boring, including watches, porcelain, ancient paintings, etc., mostly modern artworks. However, Japan is different from China, with such a rich cultural collection. The cultural differences between the two countries determine the size of the market. For example, you cannot expect to buy domestic famous paintings at any time in Japan. At least some small auction houses do not have the funds and purchase channels.

After a little bored ten minutes, a very substantial auction item was finally delivered, a Song Dynasty landscape painting with a minimum auction price of 120,000 US dollars.

Compared with the appetizing snacks in front, this painting has attracted many people's interest. In the painting, there is a landscape picture. In the ink landscape, a boat is ferrying on the boat, looking very calm outside the house, and the style of the painting looks very careful. After flipping through the introduction, I found that there were several red seals on the lower right side of the painting, one of which was Jiaqing Yulan.

"Is this a painting by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Ji?"

This does not mean that Zhang Yang knows antiques very well, but that it is a accompanying introduction to this painting. It is specifically noted that this is an imperial painting written by Song Huizong... with the inscription.

It is said that Song Huizong's paintings were divided into two types, one was an imperial pen and the other was an imperial inscription. The former was a manuscript by Huizong. The latter was a manuscript by Huizong and wrote the manuscript himself. This painting was specially marked as an imperial inscription, which was said to be a manuscript by a court painter. Although it was not a manuscript by Huizong, this painting was better in the fact that it was preserved in a very complete place without serious damage.

Of course, Zhang Yang also knows very well that the so-called authentic works are just one-sided words of the auction house. Whether they are authentic works must be determined by the buyer himself. This requires the eyesight of the school buyer. If it is an authentic works, then everyone will naturally be happy. If it is a fake, it can only be a slap and spend money to buy a lesson.

In the past, Zhang Yang has heard a lot of people who were cheated when they entered the antique industry. Some were in the game, while others were simply because they didn’t know anything, so they took the initiative to deliver it to others to kill them.

"Why, are you interested?"

Zixia saw Zhang Yang staring at the painting. She thought Zhang Yang had the intention to take it. Although Ziguang was not a big company, the company's turnover was so high and the profit was so high. At least after signing the agreement with Blizzard, Blizzard had paid 60% of the agreement. The remaining 40% will be paid after the work inspection is satisfied.

Although it is only 60%, it is enough to splurge here.

"No, I'm just a little curious. I just remembered something."

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said that he was not interested. What interested him was another auction item that was the third last item on stage. A bronze sword from the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Yang also had some impression of Song Huizong. This king of the Song Dynasty, who was a loser, was arrogant and extravagant, plundered money and used treacherous ministers such as Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan. During his reign, the Fang La and Song Jiang Uprising broke out. After being captured by the Jin Kingdom, the king of the country could not end up with a good end. He was tortured with the queen and committed suicide by being humiliated. There were rumors that after his death, the Jin Kingdom burned the body into lamp oil and lit the sky lantern.

This kind of foolish monarch has achieved certain achievements in magic and created the famous "Slim Gold Body". Although this landscape painting is not written by Huizong today, if it is an original work by a court painter, it can be regarded as a real cultural relic. It is still possible to slowly appreciate it as a collection.

Zhang Yang was watching the excitement here, but the crowd on the field set off a small craze, and some people had already raised their signs to 230,000.

Sato Auction House uses US dollars as units. If you accidentally enter the yen number... the buyer will definitely have to refund the money with a sad face, and a certain handling fee and violation fees will be deducted.

In the end, the price of this painting was at a price of 340,000 yuan. The auctioneer repeatedly showed it out, but no one raised his sign. Everyone knew that good things were behind, so the painting was taken into account by a Japanese businessman. During most of the auction, Zhang Yang talked about problems with Zixia, and occasionally looked at the situation in the scene. Among most of the items afterwards, a Tang San colored horse terracotta warrior was sold at a high price of 500,000 US dollars, announcing the end of most of the auction items.

Although three items failed to be sold, most of the items sold were enough to make the auction house make some money back. Therefore, after slightly wiping the sweat beads on the forehead, the auctioneer started the auction of the third to last item, a bronze sword of the Han Dynasty. It is also the only item that Zhang Yang is interested in today.

"The one to be auctioned below is an ancient Chinese and Han dynasty sword. The sword is 76 cm long and 15 cm wide, and the patina is thick..."

The auctioneer is Japanese and proficient in three foreign languages: Chinese, English, French, etc., so after introducing it in Japanese and English, he repeated it in Chinese.

"The starting price of this sword is 100,000 US dollars, and each increase is no less than three thousand US dollars."

As the third-last selling item, this Han Dynasty bronze sword can be regarded as the finale, but the starting price is lower than the previous Huizong imperial paintings. The reason is very simple. Experts will naturally not miss the truly valuable things, but because of caution, they will not speak easily.

Like this ancient sword, although the base price is only 100,000 US dollars, Zhang Yang and Zixia can guess that the final transaction price will definitely not be lower than the previous Huizong landscape painting.

For auctions, things like people bidding for each other and raising prices. In auction houses, there are usually several "child caregivers". If no one shouts for the price, they will take the initiative to raise the price. Of course, this is also limited. If they shout too high all of a sudden and maliciously raise the price, all of them will be old foxes present, and they will be very bright in their hearts. No one will be willing to be slaughtered for nothing. Instead, they will often keep silent, letting the items fail because of no one bidding, or simply return to the auction house to make them suffer.

The most fundamental reason why Zhang Yang cares about this ancient sword so much and is sure that the other party has certain value is that the system sent him a message. As Zhang Yang expected, this so-called ancient sword of the Han Dynasty was actually an ancient sword from the movie world.
