This is the second time Tang Feng has seen Doucai porcelain on the market. He has seen a fake Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cowl in Fujian before. Understanding the relationship between body, glaze and color, it is easy to distinguish the varieties of color porcelain. Doucai is a color porcelain variety composed of underglaze and overglaze colors.

Doucai is generally painted with underglaze blue and white or underglaze red, and then fired in a kiln, and then painted and fryed on the glaze. Because the underglaze color and the overglaze color are combined to compete with each other for beauty, it is called Doucai.

What Tang Feng saw was actually one of a pair of Doucai goblets. The goblet was an ancient drinking utensil, which was equivalent to a modern wine glass. In ancient times, the goblet was not a wine glass used by ordinary people, but a ritual wine glass used by the upper class. Drinking was a very elegant thing. Drinking alone under the cold moon was of course not as good as drinking alone under the moon before and under the flowers. Therefore, in ancient times, when cooking porcelain wine utensils, they mostly fired a pair, and burning a single piece would be considered unlucky.

The characteristics of the goblet are thin neck, flare mouth, slender waist, round belly, and outward feet, which are popular during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The business model of Hong Kong antique shops is roughly the same. The boss of "Longxingchang" only says hello and does not introduce the product. Tang Feng pointed to the pair of Doucai Gu in the glass cabinet and asked him: "Boss, can you take this thing out and take a look?"

"Of course there is no problem." When he heard that Tang Feng was about to see something, the boss came over and opened the cabinet for him. While handing the Doucai goblet to Tang Feng, he said, "The cabinet is not locked, it's just that he is afraid of breaking it."

The treatment is different, and the importance is naturally different. Tang Feng understood that the price of this Doucai goblet is probably not too low. Since it is a wine vessel, the shape of the utensil will not be too large. This goblet is dignified and elegant, with graceful lines and delicate and round touch. The pattern frame of this goblet is expressed in different painting methods. The layout is dense but not messy and the layers are clear; the overglaze color is painted with flowers and birds, which are elegant and delicate, and the bright and beautiful colors are more elegant and pleasant in the contrast of the underglaze blue and white blue. Looking at the color, the color is the most attractive thing about this Doucai goblet. Its color is simple from a distance, soft and pleasing to the eye when looking at it, and not as ostentatious as the luster of fake porcelain.

The more Tang Feng looked at this Doucai, the more he liked it. He liked it. Regardless of the authenticity and age, just in terms of the quality of Doucai itself, this Doucai is undoubtedly a fine product among Doucai. Of course, compared to its artistic value, its economic value is obviously more shocking.

The market of Doucai is different from other porcelains. If you want to talk about quality, Mingcheng. The Doucai in Huanian is definitely the best. A small Chenghua Doucai chicken jar is worth HK$29.17 million. However, the market of Doucai in later generations is also very high. At the Sotheby's Spring Auction in April 2007, the transaction price of a Doucai water waves and stone ball patterned celestial ball bottle from Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty was RMB 30,000. At the Sotheby's autumn auction in the same year, the transaction price of a pair of Qianlong Qing Dynasty Doucai hook lotus pattern double dragon ear spherical ball flower-shaped flat pot was RMB 210,000. In short, as long as it is a genuine Doucai, the finished products of all eras are above tens of millions.

Chenghua Doucai is expensive, and the leaves only paint the front of the leaf flower - this is the unique feature of the Ming Chenghua Dou. Compared with other eras Doucai, Tang Feng had already judged that this was a Chenghua Doucai when he did not look at the bottom. Moreover, this Doucai goblet was fine and crystal clear, with exquisite and unique shapes, with pure color materials, soft and quiet color, elegant and gentle picture, and has the typical characteristics of the official kiln porcelain of Ming Chenghua. If there are no or only other eras, the value of this Doucai will be greatly reduced.

All the features are pointing in the same direction. As long as the pattern is correct, the store owner's price is not high, which is a big leak. Such an important porcelain, even people like Tang Feng are a little nervous when looking through the bottom. He looked over the bottom of the instrument and saw that the blue and white six-character regular script base - made in the Chenghua year of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is Chenghua style, it depends on the real style or the fake style. All official kiln styles in the Ming Dynasty Chenghua year are almost the same, just like they were written by one person. This regular script style uses a natural brush, with bones in the flesh, hard in the softness, and strongness. It is both straight and thin and strong, and the strokes are round, which conforms to the key of "the big characters have a sharp round head but not high, the Ming characters have a narrow flat year, and the Cheng characters have a hard stroke until the waist, and the Hua characters have a seven-sized micro-head."

When Tang Feng put down this Doucai goblet and picked up the other one, the problem arises. This is a pair of Doucai goblets. The latter one is no different from the previous one, but it is different when you look closely. This difference is very subtle and is only in terms of charm. It should be a imitation from the late Qing Dynasty. Only imitations from the late Qing Dynasty will be so realistic. imitations from the Republic of China are not worth much. This is strange. A pair of Doucai one real one and imitation. Should the boss treat the imitation as the authentic or the authentic one as the imitation? Tang Feng asked the boss: "What is the price of this pair?"

The Hong Kong boss spoke pure Mandarin and said, "This thing is a imitation Chenghua version of Daoguang Nian, worth 680,000 yuan."

When a certain porcelain peaks appear in a certain era that are difficult to reproduce in later generations, there will be many imitations in later generations. This imitation is often an official kiln imitation of official kilns, which is enough to make fakes and real. While increasing the difficulty of identification, it also increases the chance of picking up bargains. The offer price of 680,000 yuan means that the boss regards the authentic product as a imitation. Tang Feng didn't want to be too excited. He said: "It's too high, just open a selling price."

Tang Feng’s statement is very common. The antique market is not a market, and the price is very watery. The boss is all taking the bait on Jiang Taigong’s fishing volunteers, which is typical opportunism. The boss smiled and said, “If you sincerely want it, 660,000 yuan will be fine.”

"Haha." Tang Feng said with a loud laugh: "360,000, how about it?" This matter was very difficult in front of Tang Feng. He actually only wanted one, and the other was just a cover.

The Hong Kong boss said: "Your price is too outrageous. I will lose to you if I sell it to you. The last price is 50,000!"

"Trade!" Tang Feng would be very happy. He doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. The night is long and dreams are too long. If the Hong Kong boss changes his mind, he will lose a lot.

No matter what it is, it is abnormal to react too quickly. The boss felt a little regretful when he saw Tang Feng so happy. Of course, what he regretted was not what Tang Feng was worried about. After all, people have fixed mindsets, and they couldn't take them back after they had already said it. The boss of Hong Kong nodded and said, "Okay!"

The economic ties between the mainland and Hong Kong are extremely close, and there is no currency obstacle at all. Tang Feng quickly paid the bill and walked out of the antique shop with a pair of Ming Chenghua Doucai flower and bird pattern wine goblets. There were too many accidental factors to take out cultural relics. If you are lucky, you can run into the street, and you can get it without any effort. If you are not lucky, it is useless to go back and forth, and you can search for it without any effort. After a few days, Tang Feng visited thousands of antique shops and finally got two good things. The result was good, which was worth the trip.

The show is coming. Christie's, which lasted seven days, ushered in the next night. The estimated price of the items tonight was above tens of millions, including Tang Feng's jade seal and Shi Kefa's Shangfang sword.

As soon as Tang Feng walked into the International Convention and Exhibition Center, he met an acquaintance. Not far away from him was a graceful lady he was familiar with. She was Fan Ziyun. After all, he was a farmer. Tang Feng lacked some of the education of a big family. He patted Fan Ziyun on the shoulder from behind. Fan Ziyun turned around without any disgust. When she saw that it was Tang Feng, the disgust on her face immediately disappeared. The impression this man left on her was pretty good, and the score was considered high.

When Tang Feng saw her initial unhappiness, he said a little embarrassedly: "Miss Fan, am I a little presumptuous?"

Fan Ziyun smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, you should look at people even if you are not aware of it. You can be an exception."

Fan Ziyun's answer made Tang Feng feel vain. Although he was not handsome enough, he was still very popular. He asked, "Is Miss Fan the only one?"

"Well, I came to Hong Kong as a private person." Fan Ziyun certainly knew what Tang Feng meant, and she said, "Please sit down."

Tang Feng and Fan Ziyun's current state is enough to become a model for dating men and women, and they are so pure. Tang Feng sat down and asked her, "What? I'm in a bad mood?"

"How could it be good?" Fan Ziyun said: "Our follow-up report on Shi Kefa Shangfang's sword will be stopped halfway."

Tang Feng was not surprised. He said: "You are engaged in media work and you should know the normal supervision of TV programs by the relevant departments, right?"

"Normal?" Fan Ziyun said: "We are treasure appraisal programs, how can it be normal? This shows that there have been new changes in the relevant policies."

Tang Feng didn't want to understand that this time there was no one who made a big repurchase, and the relevant departments would certainly not allow the media to give enough attention. What would happen if the result was too bad? Living in China feels like living on a campus, enjoying the meticulous and omnipresent care of faculty and staff. Tang Feng said: "This is a good thing, which means that the official no longer emphasizes the repurchase of lost cultural relics, at least it will no longer rise to patriotic heights."

Fan Ziyun said, "I can only think so."

Tang Feng glanced at the bidding sign in Fan Ziyun's hand, and he asked, "Does Miss Fan want to bid for Shi Kefa's Shangfang Sword?"

Fan Ziyun nodded and said, "I want to try it, but I don't give me too much hope."

Tang Feng said: "It's best if you can think so." At this time, Aoyama Toshishu and the others had already entered the market. Needless to say, they would definitely make a big hype.

"Miss Fan." It was Liu Yue who said hello. She and Zhu Biwei also came. Zhu Biwei nodded to Tang Feng slightly, saying that Fan Ziyun said enthusiastically: "I didn't expect to meet you here, let's sit together."

Liu Yue turned her head and looked at Zhu Biwei. Zhu Biwei nodded and said, "Well, let's have fun together." Zhu Biwei's next moves explained something. He sat next to Tang Feng. This was an unintentional attitude. She refused to let her daughter sit with Tang Feng.

Tang Feng looked at the VIP seat. Dong Minquan was still in his old position. Next to him was an old man younger than him. Fan Ziyun looked in the direction Tang Feng looked at her. She said: "All the well-known Hong Kong collectors are here. That is Zhai Jianming. I just saw Huang Jichang."

Not long after, the originally sparse bidding seats were already full, and the commission seats were the same as VIP seats. The auction soon came to the main point. Today's first item was the Tang-style jade seal "Treasure of Debate the Sin of the People" in the Qing Dynasty. The auctioneer made a statement and said that this jade seal was so exaggerated. Having an ancient emperor used a jade seal is undoubtedly a very obvious identity and face. This is also the reason why the jade seal market has always remained high.

As soon as the auctioneer finished his speech, a quotation sound came from the commissioning seat, 1.60,000 yuan. Then, the auctioneer's singing sound rang out like a cannon, and Tang Feng's jade seal was sought after by the market.

Fan Ziyun asked Tang Feng in a low voice: "Mr. Tang, don't you find it strange?"

Tang Feng asked Fan Ziyun: "Why am I strange?"

Fan Ziyun said: "There is also a treasure for the Forbidden City to punish the people. At least it means that the authenticity of this jade seal is controversial, but the market quotation did not respond to it at all."

Tang Feng said: "The reason is very simple, and the authority of relevant departments has been challenged unprecedentedly." After the country opened the Internet, the ways for ordinary people to obtain information have been greatly enhanced, and it is an indisputable fact that the credibility of relevant departments has declined. Under this background, it is not surprising that the controversial jade seal has been recognized by the market.

As a leader in the domestic auction industry, Zhu Biwei, who is beside Tang Feng, is in deep thought. This is the brand effect. Putting aside ideology, Christie's's operation is undoubtedly successful, at least it has won the market recognition.

As the bidding deepened, the auction of the jade seal gradually evolved into a competition between Toshiki Aoyama, Dong Minquan and a buyer with the commissioned seat number 781o.

"The buyer of No. 8888 bid 280,000!" After the auctioneer's singing voice fell, Tang Feng looked at Dong Minquan in the VIP seat, and Dong Minquan also saw him. The old man smiled slightly at Tang Feng, as if he was determined to win.

The buyer of the No. 911 bid 290,000 yuan. Tang Feng was a little surprised by the reluctance of Aoyama Toshishu. This thing belongs to Tang Feng and has nothing to do with Aoyama Toshishu. This only means that they really want to bid. From this perspective, Tang Feng also has to thank Aoyama Toshishu. Only through competition can the transaction price be increased.

At this time, the buyer No. 681o, who was entrustment seat, raised the bidding sign in his hand. The competition was stalemate, so the backend of the buyer No. 781o could no longer hold back. His quotation was 360,000!

The quotes at the auction are a big story. Skipping reports is not just a slogan, but an effective way to reduce bidders. Sure enough, Toshiki Aoyama then gave up on competition, and 3.6oo million had exceeded his expectations.

Dong Minquan did not give up. The new quotation was 390,000 yuan. The buyer of No. 781o immediately quoted 400,000 yuan. After that, the two sides went back and forth, and the quotation rose all the way to 480,000 yuan.

After all, Fan Ziyun is engaged in media work. She said: "If this continues, it will definitely create a new world record. Who is the sacred buyer of No. 781o?"

Tang Feng said: "It may be someone from the Aisin Gioro family." If this is true, it would be interesting. The authenticity of this jade seal is undoubtedly.

When the buyer of No. 781o raised the quotation to 530,000, Dong Minquan gave up the competition. Tang Feng immediately looked at him and saw Dong Minquan making a "V"-shaped gesture to Tang Feng with one hand. Tang Feng should thank him. It was his participation that made the transaction price reach its current height.
