"That's right! It's 7.8 million."
Ma Weiguo said with certainty:
"Of course, this is just the starting price. As for the final transaction price, it's hard to say."
At this time, a short and fat expert wearing glasses came out from beside Ma Weiguo and said:
"I've just looked at this brush. It's the best among the best."
Tang Dahai seemed to have discovered early on that the brush was not simple.
At this time, many other antique collectors had already gathered around.
Seeing this, Tang Dahai had an idea.
It's time to build momentum for this auction.
"Expert Huang, could you please give us an explanation?"
Huang Yuhua hummed, then picked up the brush and explained:
"I've just looked at the pen holder; it's made of rhinoceros horn.
This pen holder is carved from Hetian jade.
These two things alone are worth a lot of money.
However, the most valuable thing about this brush is the brush tip.
Do you see this color? Can you guess what kind of fur it is made of?"
Everyone came closer to take a look.
Meng Xuan also took a look.
Red hair?
What animal has red fur?
Or what part of the animal's fur is red?
It can also be made into a brush.
But in the end Meng Xuan gave up.
Zhuang Zhou certainly knew it well.
At this time, Huang Yuhua said word by word:
"Old Lou and I have just confirmed that this brush is made of red fox fur."
When everyone heard this, they were all amazed.
Brushes made of red fox hair are rare in the market.
There was curiosity and surprise in Meng Xuan's eyes.
She has loved calligraphy since she was young and knows the value of a high-quality brush.
The brush in front of her was obviously beyond her understanding.
Huang Yuhua continued to explain:
"Red fox hair is extremely tough and has long, slender tips, so the brushes made from it can express a high level of artistry when writing.
The tip of this brush is made of hair from the neck of a red fox.
This part of the hair is softer and can create a rich sense of layering when writing.
The tail of the pen is made of fur from the back of a red fox.
This part of the hair is very resilient, making it easy to control the force."
Everyone was fascinated by what they heard.
Tang Dahai also said excitedly:
"It seems that this brush is also a rare treasure."
Ma Weiguo smiled and said:
"Mr. Tang, this brush is indeed extremely precious, but it's also quite expensive.
Based on my understanding of the market, the starting price can be set directly at 1.5 million."
Oh my god!
Just a brush.
The price is actually 1.5 million.
Meng Xuan was completely shocked.
But other antique collectors clearly agree.
I just heard someone say:
"This kind of brush is no longer suitable for writing.
It is used by a family of scholars to pass on their family lineage."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was very appreciative.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up:
"My dear little brother, I really love this brush. I wonder if you can sell it to me. I want to keep it to pass on to my descendants."
When Zhuang Zhou heard the voice, he looked over and saw a white-haired old man.
He was also wearing a Tang suit.
Looks like an intellectual.
But when he said this, someone immediately refuted him:
"Hey, that won't do! I want to buy it to carry on the family line!"
"That's right. Mr. Tang has already set the rules for the auction. These things will be auctioned off, and the highest bidder will win."
"That's exactly what happened!"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a beer belly said, holding a cigarette:
"Although I am a rough man, I am also very interested in this set of four treasures of the study. If you buy the brush, how can I put together a set?"
It can be seen that the person who said this is determined to win.
I plan to buy this set of four treasures of the study at the auction tomorrow.
When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly:
"Okay! Since Boss Ma said so, I definitely don't have a chance."
The rest of the crowd started discussing again.
It is obvious that this person surnamed Ma should be a famous figure in the circle.
But Zhuang Zhou didn't recognize him.
I turned around and looked at him, making eye contact.
Tang Dahai then urged the other experts to start identification.
You know.
The auction will start tomorrow.
All items participating in the auction must be identified before midnight tonight.
All quality controls must pass.
If there is any mistake, the organizer Tang Dahai will have to pay for it in the end.
This is also the biggest pressure we bear as the organizer.
certainly.
The profits are also extremely high.
This time I was invited by Tang Dahai.
The number of collectors from all over the country attending the auction has reached the highest number in history.
There were more than a hundred people.
According to the number of reports, there are probably about ten more on the way.
Arrived before dinner.
So the seven experts still have a lot of work to do.
Then, Tang Dahai greeted him.
Seven experts began to work in groups to conduct identification.
Each collector this time has at least one collection.
The one with the most is probably Zhuang Zhou.
Except for bracelets and rosewood combs.
And the four treasures of the study that have been identified.
There are also paintings of ladies, century-old ginseng, natural bezoar, and purple gold beast incense burner.
As well as coiled dragon jade pendants and jadeite jade pendants.
Next.
Zhuang Zhou took out the painting of the lady and handed it to expert Huang Yuhua for identification.
