Chapter 97: Ming Dynasty Xuande Furnace.

Everyone is waiting for the price to be quoted. If it’s a treasure, speak up quickly!

Chen Tianhua raised his head and exhaled, then slowly said, "There was a famous person whose words were worth five cents when he was alive. After he passed away, each of his words was worth 190,000!"

"His calligraphy has its own style, integrating seal script and official script into one. His writing is simple but not rigid, free and unrestrained, yet well-regulated. It goes back to the Song and Tang dynasties and reaches the Wei and Jin dynasties. It is treasured by the world!"

"Who is it? So awesome."

"Old Wang must know."

"Is he talking about the person who wrote these words? Could it be that these pieces of paper are valuable?"

"Master Silly is always so suspenseful."

Wang Chen's heart moved, and he blurted out, "Is it Mr. Zhou Shuren?"

"Yes! It's this senior."

Chen Tianhua showed admiration on his face.

"I was once invited to the Beijing Museum to study Mr. Zhou's manuscripts. The literati spirit in the words was overwhelming, just like these pieces of paper."

"If I'm not mistaken, these are handwritten by Mr. Zhou himself!"

Liu Jin and others were dumbfounded.

"Is this paper from Brother Xun?"

"Oh my god, Lao Chen, please watch carefully and don't tease us."

The big guys who came were surprised.

If it was really written by that person himself, it would definitely cause a sensation in the literary world.

Chen Tianhua put down the paper and shook his head expressionlessly.

"I don't have time to joke. Look at the handwriting. It's from Mr. Zhou Shuren. No one else can imitate it."

"Moreover, these pieces of paper are the first draft of the Madman's Diary, which is the unrevised version. They are very valuable!"

"How much is it? I bought it!"

Liu Jin waved his hand.

Like a wild boar eating fine bran.

The others looked at him with contempt.

"If you understand it, buy it."

"Buy it to help you sleep?"

Wang Chen carefully put the paper back into the box.

I counted them and found three pieces of paper.

A box of paper has about two hundred words, floating around.

"We'll talk about the bidding later. Let's look at the next thing first."

No one present had any objection.

The stuff belongs to Lao Wang, so whatever he says is what it is.

……

Beijing.

Mr. Jin Kangde, chairman of the Chinese Literature Society, sits in the courtyard writing.

At this time, the daughter rushed in hurriedly.

"dad!!!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Xiaolan, as scholars, we should always pay attention to calming our minds and nourishing our hearts. Look at your rough appearance, which ruins the elegance of scholars."

He wrote the last word calmly.

Then he looked up at his anxious daughter and said, "Tell me what's the matter."

The daughter quickly took out her phone and said, "Look at this. These pieces of paper were just dug out by Lao Wang today!"

"Who is Lao Wang? What does it have to do with me?"

"Oh, I'm not talking about Lao Wang, the point is these pieces of paper!"

"Well, I'll enjoy the view."

Jin Kangde took the phone and enlarged it to take a look.

His eyes gradually widened, and his mouth followed suit.

"This, this is..."

He was shocked.

Isn't this Mr. Zhou's first draft of Diary of a Madman? !

Jin Kangde still remembers it.

The Beijing Museum has a damaged copy of the manuscript, which only has thirteen pages. It took hundreds of years to find it, but today he actually saw three pages...

……

"Hey, what the hell is this!?"

"It's a copper furnace."

"Isn't it a small item from the Ming Dynasty?"

Jolis said: "This copper furnace looks very familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere."

now.

The third tarp opens.

Inside was a palm-sized yellow-black copper stove with two ears and three legs.

To be precise, it was a small incense burner. Wang Chen turned it over and looked at the bottom.

It says on it: Ming Dynasty Xuande Furnace.

Netizens are puzzled.

"Why is it a stove? Is it an antique?"

"I don't know. I often see this kind of stove in TV dramas. It looks very familiar to me."

"Blind guess: eight million!"

"Eight million casually? Do you think money is just paper?"

Wang Chen showed it to Liu Guang.

"Looking at the style, it's a Xuande furnace. The copper luster is simple and restrained. It's a good treasure."

"Is it true, Expert Liu?"

Ren Fei asked the question that everyone present wanted to ask.

Liu Guang stroked it over and over and said, "This copper paste is round, its color is harmonious, its precious aura is restrained, and it smells fragrant..."

He talked about a lot of professional knowledge.

Finally, he affirmed, "It is real. I have experience with this kind of thing. I have appraised it many times before. Besides, the accompanying items are all valuable. It should not be fake."

"How much does this cost?" Ye Yuxuan asked.

Yue Baiwan, a tall middle-aged man in a suit, said, "Last time, there was a Xuande furnace exactly like this one, which was sold at Christie's overseas for 22 million."

"That Xuande furnace is not in very good condition, but this one is perfect, it's worth at least 25 million."

"Twenty-five million!?"

Netizens were shocked.

"Fuck! Old Wang, you are so rich that I am so jealous!!"

"Why don't you give it to your fans as a benefit, Lao Wang?"

"Yes, yes, it's just drizzle for you."

"I can't even eat watching the anchor's live broadcast. I feel so bad. I'm unfollowing him, unless you give me what you dug up today!"

……

One of the fair-skinned bosses saw the opportunity and made a direct offer: "Old Wang, I'll offer you 25 million. Please give it up."

Liu Jin jumped out at that time: "Twenty-six million!! Everyone listen to me!"

He suddenly looked sad: "To be honest, my mother doesn't have much time left. She once lost a Xuande furnace that she brought as a dowry from her hometown. My mother's lifelong wish is to see it again..."

As Liu Jin spoke, he choked up.

Everyone present was moved.

Wang Chen was a little confused. It was just buying something, but it was really a big deal. He even had to put on a show!
Ye Yuxuan snorted coldly and said, "I remember your mother passed away three years ago. How can you say she has not much time left?"

"stepmother!"

"?"

"?"

Netizens in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.

"I am dying of laughter."

"Look at Lao Wang's expression. Hahahaha, he didn't expect it, did he?"

"This big belly even sold out his mother to buy Lao Wang's stuff!"

"Lao Wang, please sell it to him. He is so pitiful."

finally.

As Liu Jin acted like a scoundrel, the Xuande furnace went into his pocket for 28 million yuan.

"Okay, Lao Jin, you just said that after buying the Xuande furnace, you won't buy any of the rest."

"I'll take a look."

Liu Jin winked at Kong Dashu secretly.

Kong Dashu immediately offered to buy it.

Less than ten minutes.

All 1610 Gansu coins with additional characters were sold for a total of million.

Including the Xuande furnace, the total is 4410 million!
Those who bought it there were all smiling.

This thing is rare, buy one less.

Wang Chen looked at the last items for sale in the box - three handwritten manuscripts by Mr. Zhou.

He estimated that this thing would cost at least 18 million.

"Master Chen, you have experience. How much is a manuscript like Mr. Zhou's worth?"

"It's hard to say."

Chen Tianhua stroked his chin.
"I remember a few years ago, a piece of calligraphy by Mr. Zhou was auctioned in China. It was called 'Put down the butcher knife, and you will become a Buddha right away; put down the Buddhist scriptures, and you will kill someone right away.' These sixteen characters were sold for a total of three million, or about 190,000 per character. But yours is small characters, not calligraphy..."

The fair-faced entrepreneur said directly: "Lao Wang, you name a price and I'll buy it!"

Wang Chen looked at him without any emotion.

I can make any price I want. How should I make the price?
