Chapter 1764: Bronze Theme Charity Fair
Before, he might have had to greet these people one by one.
But today, his target was only Chen Cheng, so he wanted to hide his identity as much as possible, so he wore a peaked cap and stood relatively far back in the crowd to prevent others from recognizing him.
Jiang Li glanced at the time and said, "Uncle Zheng, it's almost time to start the auction."
Zheng Xueming smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then there is Lao Jiang's niece."
Before he finished speaking, fireworks were set off on the stage outside.
Although the fireworks were not obvious during the day, they still ignited the atmosphere of the venue.
Then, in the center of the stage, a giant lantern exploded.
A large number of plastic fragments scattered from inside, like fireworks exploding, followed by a hanging banner.
From top to bottom, the banner reads "Baoyuan Charity Sale" in four large gilt characters.
The entire audience was excited. After all, there were no entertainment activities now, so they were still very excited to see such a lively scene.
The grand opening ceremony of the auction ended quickly. Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs.
After the brief ceremony, Jiang Li, who was dressed in red, walked to the stage, bowed to the audience and said: "Dear customers, thank you very much for coming to participate in this charity bazaar. This charity bazaar is hosted by Tianle Co-organized by Xingxing and Liulicang.”
"All the money from this auction will be donated directly to the Hope Primary School in the mountainous area. The donation certificate will be hung in the two auction houses. I hope everyone can supervise it."
Jiang Li explained the purpose of the auction simply and clearly, and then she put the microphone in her hand next to the auctioneer.
This auctioneer was the auctioneer from the previous black market auction.
The auctioneer has become famous since the last auction of five items worth more than [-] yuan. This time he was also invited by Tianlexing to organize this event.
He smiled and said: "Thank you all very much for coming to the auction. Although the theme of this auction is bronzes, I just took a look backstage and there are quite a lot of types..."
He said this with a long pronunciation, as if to whet everyone's appetite.
The auctioneer said: "Okay, without further ado, let's get to the point!"
There was a sound of a hammer hitting the table, and the auction officially began.
But it is a charity sale after all, and there is no threshold for participation, so the auction items at the beginning will appear to be relatively casual, and someone will soon reach a deal.
"A chicken-blood stone seal from the Qianlong period, anonymous, 300 yuan!"
"Five Kangxi Tianbao copper coins, 20 yuan!"
"Qing Dynasty bench made of red rosewood, 600 yuan!"
"Porcelain plate with branches from a private kiln in the Qing Dynasty, 50 yuan!"
The auction has only started for 5 minutes, and already more than ten treasures have been auctioned. Although the transaction prices are not high, as an appetizer, it only needs to make people feel the atmosphere.
These auction items were sponsored by two antique shops. They were not too expensive. They were usually piled up in the store and almost no one cared about them. We just took this opportunity to clear them out.
None of the real big guys have made a bid yet. Their goal is to get the last few items.
The sun seemed to be watching the fun, but at the bazaar, no one left the venue even though people were sweating like rain, but most people kept their distance from each other.
The auction at the charity fair is very simple. Everyone can call directly and no capital verification is required. After bidding the items, they can directly follow the staff to the backstage to inspect the goods, pay the money and leave.
If the money cannot be paid, the staff will put the auction items back on the stand and enter the next round of auctions, but this has not happened yet.
For most people, being able to buy antiques with a little money is something worth showing off when they take them home.
Therefore, this auction, like Liuyunbao City, attracted a large number of newcomers who did not understand antiques at all, and the bids were also all kinds of strange.
As long as it can make money, these are not valuable cultural relics anyway. Just like the theme of this charity sale, treasure fate, whoever has a fate with the treasure will sell the things.
There are quite a few collectors, but the atmosphere at the auction has always been lively.
After all, these things are extremely rare in ordinary times. Whether you buy them for your own collection or to wait for the appreciation in value and resell them, it is a good choice.
At this time, the real big guys haven't taken action yet, and are waiting for the auction items to appear as publicity stunts.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost integrated, the auctioneer smiled knowingly. He had tried his best to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene. Next, it was time to enter the theme of this auction.
Putting the other auction items aside, I concentrated my mind a little and made myself look less nervous. If I were nervous now, I would be prone to making mistakes.
In the eyes of the audience, this is a very interesting phenomenon.
After concentrating, the auctioneer said loudly: "The next item to be auctioned is the bronze ware from the Ming Dynasty. Please be patient."
The staff member was holding a small tray with an object similar to a bronze can placed on it.
"The name of this bronze is 'Mingyi Bronze Tripod'. The maker is unknown, but the three characters Zhao Zhongcheng are engraved on the bottom.
There are no big screens in current auctions, so people in the stands craned their necks to look forward, wanting to see what was going on.
Immediately afterwards, at the back of the auction hall, a huge poster fell vertically, which was an enlarged photo of this bronze.
Although there are some mosaics, this is the best alternative Lin Ran can think of.
Through the poster, everyone can clearly see the whole picture of the 'Mingyi Bronze Tripod'.
It has a majestic appearance and adopts the square tripod shape inherited from the Warring States Period. At the same time, some of its characteristics are highlighted on the poster, such as the overall patina is natural, the surface is exquisitely carved, and there are lion and algae patterns on both sides, which is three-dimensional and full. , the carving lines are smooth, perfectly reflecting the majestic spirit of the Ming Dynasty in its heyday.
The auctioneer continued: "There are multiple inscriptions on this bronze tripod, depicting scenes of nobles drinking. Through the appraisal of the two auction houses' masters, this piece is definitely authentic, so you can rest assured!"
Bronze ware with inscriptions is undoubtedly the most popular collection among collectors, because the inscriptions usually record the social style and scene of the production era and have research value, which also increases the artistic value of the bronze ware!
"The material is made of high-quality bronze. Even after hundreds of years, the copper color on the surface is still clear and slightly yellowed, but it is extremely light in the hand and has a solid texture. It is obvious that exquisite craftsmanship was used in the production of this bronze. Using advanced casting techniques, the shell pattern and deer head pattern on the copper body are very delicate, concave and convex, and full of texture."
