Chapter 1653: Mr. Zhu takes the stage in person
It's okay if it falls into the hands of collectors in China. At least they still have a chance to see the prototype.
But once sold abroad, the original body will never be seen again for almost a lifetime.
After hearing what Miss Lu said, the three judges all seemed very excited and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it is indeed a collection of the Ming Dynasty royal family."
When Boss Huang heard this, he immediately asked how much they would charge for the dragon-patterned bronze mirror.
In the end, the three people combined and gave a rating of one thousand.
At first, Lu Zhaorong seemed a little proud.
But after seeing the final price, I instantly lost my composure.
The collection that he proudly brought out was not even as good as the uneducated Mr. Chen just now.
Boss Huang also looked unhappy. After all, he was the guest he invited. How could he give such a low evaluation?
He said to the three judges: "Is the estimate you gave too low?"
The judges looked at each other, and finally an older judge stood up.
"The price of 1000 yuan is actually not low." The judge said, "The historical research value of the dragon pattern bronze mirror is actually much greater than the collection value. When it loses its historical research value, it is actually just a pile of scrap metal."
He bluntly said: "Museums may be interested in bronze mirrors, but to most collectors, it is just an extremely ordinary mirror, and even the function of a mirror has been lost."
They actually meant what they said.
Not all collectibles have auction value.
This is reflected in many collections.
Such as stamps.
For ordinary people, stamps are tools for writing letters. After receiving letters, they usually collect envelopes and stamps together. However, they are mainly used for commemoration, not for collecting stamps.
When they are no longer in this world, these letters and stamps will be burned in a fire, as if they had never been taken seriously.
The same goes for bronze mirrors.
In ancient times, bronze mirrors were essential items for women to use for makeup.
Because they are personal belongings, they are usually buried with them after death.
Therefore, a large number of bronze mirrors were excavated from tombs.
It is also called a clear weapon.
Few people are willing to put funerary objects in their own collection rooms, except for some people with special hobbies.
There are only a small number of dragon-patterned bronze mirrors in existence, but the number of buyers is even smaller, so the price has not been rising.
Hearing this, Lu Zhaorong frowned.
Although she was very conceited about her treasure appraisal skills, she thought she could win the first prize this time by bringing in a bronze mirror from the Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, everyone was not interested and instead pointed out the shortcomings of her collection.
"I've learned a lesson." Lu Zhaorong was not an ignorant person.
"Ms. Lu, please don't be discouraged. The treasure fight has just begun. Maybe your price is relatively high." Boss Huang comforted, and then pointed to the seat next to him: "Ms. Lu, please take a seat and taste what I have brought you. Come back to Maozhufeng and look at the works of other contestants."
"Yes." Lu Zhaorong nodded and sat down directly. His face was a little ugly, but overall he was a sensible person and did not stalk him.
Mr. Chen, who had taken his seat early, had his legs crossed and looked triumphant.
The value of the Bodhisattva statue he brought was more than twenty times higher than his.
After arranging Miss Lu to take a seat, Boss Huang continued to say to everyone: "Everyone has seen the treasure of the first contestant, and everyone has also seen the level of our judges. They are absolutely fair and impartial, and there will be no favoritism."
"Indeed, not bad."
The audience in the audience also responded in full.
At first, they thought that the jury would deliberately give a high price because the Lu Group was rich, but they did not expect that they would not give any face at all.
In fact, they ignored one thing.
Even in the audience present, most people will not make 1000 yuan in five years.
Unfortunately, after being influenced by previous auctions, one thousand is no longer considered money in their eyes.
Boss Huang winked at the judges before the second round of treasure fighting began.
"The people who come to the treasure fight are all rich, please restrain yourself."
They had obviously agreed before, but they actually gave Miss Lu such a low score. Where would Miss Lu put her face in the future?
At this time, Mr. Zhu stood up and said with a smile: "I asked them to do this."
"Mr. Zhu, what are you..." Boss Huang can get angry at the other judges, but for Mr. Zhu, given his qualifications and strength, he can only hold it in.
"Since it is a treasure fighting event, it should be an upright competition. Otherwise, you can just have a family competition, and whoever has the money will win directly. What do you think?" Mr. Zhu joked.
Although it is a joke, the truth is obvious.
"Hehe, didn't I take their face into consideration?" Boss Huang naturally did not dare to offend Mr. Zhu and said with a smile: "Everyone is here to participate in the event, so I try to give the highest praise within a controllable range. "
The judges all nodded. In fact, they didn't want to be the first. Chinese culture emphasizes the golden mean.
"Haha, let me do it!" Mr. Zhu said.
Boss Huang was also stunned when he learned that Mr. Zhu would personally serve as a judge. Originally, he was just invited to be a special guest. To put it bluntly, he was the mascot and used his fame to promote the show.
Unexpectedly, he would be the judge, and the standard of their treasure fighting meeting immediately went up to the next level.
"Okay." With Mr. Zhu in charge, Boss Huang doesn't have to worry about other people's opinions. As a person in the collection industry, he can't doubt the vision of the special researcher of the Palace Museum.
At this time, Boss Huang once again served as the master of ceremonies and invited the second contestant.
I saw a fat middle-aged man standing out from the crowd.
It is Zhang Weifeng, a well-known collector in Beijing, who runs his own antique shop in Liuyunbao City and Panjiayuan.
I saw a valuable white jade Guanyin statue in his hand.
There was still a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Because compared with the Bodhisattva statue that Mr. Chen took out before, it really pales into insignificance.
"Haha, the collection I brought is really cheap compared to the gilded Bodhisattva statue in your hands, Mr. Zhu."
Zhang Weifeng is very direct. Unlike others, he comes to the competition to win.
For him, the treasure fight is just an experience.
The emphasis is on participation.
The treasure he brought was not the most precious in his collection, so he said humorously that he might lose.
Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "The treasures of each era have their historical value. The Qing Dynasty can replace the Ming and Yuan Dynasties, so it is naturally powerful."
"What Mr. Zhu said is absolutely true!" Zhang Weifeng clasped his hands and handed the White Jade Guanyin into his hands.
