Most of the viewers in front of the TV are ordinary people, but even if they are not good at jade and jade, they can still see that the emerald green unicorn on TV is extraordinary.
Many of the guests at the party are billionaires, and they have more opportunities to come into contact with high-end jewelry and jade than the general public. The value of the emerald unicorn.
Xu Jianming stared blankly at the jade unicorn on the stage, even his eyes were green, he muttered to himself, "Couldn't it be the jade from Laokeng glass?"
Kang Chuandeng on the stage has presided over various auctions, has very rich experience, and has a good grasp of the psychology of the bidders, so he took the initiative to approach those few with a microphone and concentrated on observing and studying the emerald unicorn without realizing it. The expert at feeling like you're being photogenic.
He brought the microphone to one of Christie's, the most experienced and highest-ranked jade appraisal expert, and asked, "What's so special about this jade unicorn? Everyone saw how dumbfounded you were when you saw this jade unicorn just now."
The appraisal expert was an Englishman who looked to be in his fifties. Hear Kang Chuandeng's question.
He explained in fluent Chinese: "I have been in the industry for 40 years, and I have seen countless emeralds. I was even lucky enough to see the emerald flower basket, which is known as one of China's four national treasures of emeralds—"Quanfang Range Rover '.
However, all the jadeites are inferior to this one. This is the oldest and most watery old pit glass among all the jadeites!
It is such a big piece of jadeite, I have never seen such a big old pit glass jadeite! "
Although he was answering Kang Chuandeng's question, the appraisal expert's eyes never left the emerald unicorn.
And Kang Chuandeng also introduced to everyone in a timely manner: "Everyone, the so-called Laokeng glass species is the rarest and most precious of all types of jadeite. Even the original stone of Laokeng glass species is very valuable. treasure.
After a series of processing and polishing, a finger-sized Laokeng glass jade ring surface can have a transaction price of tens of millions of yuan. The 'species' and 'water' mentioned by the appraisal expert just now are both industry terms to describe jadeite, indicating the transparency of jadeite. "
Then he moved the microphone to the oldest of the experts from the Palace Museum.
And said to everyone: "Everyone, this is Master Wu Zhongchao, who has the most research on jade in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Master Wu, just now our Christie's appraisal expert made this emerald unicorn, do you agree? "
This Wu Zhongchao is an old man in his seventies with a long white beard and a pair of black-rimmed reading glasses. He adjusted his glasses, and his eyes never left Yu Qilin.
Slowly said: "I very much agree, I have been a researcher in the Forbidden City for more than 30 years, so
Many of the emeralds in the palace are treasures handed down from ancient courts.
But what I want to say is that if the cultural and historical significance is excluded, in terms of the grade of jadeite itself, there is no jadeite in the Forbidden City that can compare with this jadeite unicorn.
This is the largest piece of old pit glass that I know of, and it is no exaggeration to call it a 'peerless jadeite'! "
Wu Zhongchao's evaluation of the word "peerless jadeite" on this jade unicorn immediately shocked everyone. The so-called "peerless" means the best in the world, and this jade unicorn is the best in the world. Emerald!
Another jade expert from the Palace Museum also said: "We have carefully observed this emerald unicorn, and we can confirm that it is not a cultural relic handed down from ancient times.
It is the product of modern technology, so in the sense of history and culture, it is not the same as those court treasures in the Forbidden City. Even so, the workmanship of this emerald unicorn is worthy of being handed down from generation to generation, and every stroke shows its profound skills.
The 'Quanfang Range Rover' emerald flower basket mentioned by the Christie's expert just now was completed by gathering more than 40 top jade carving masters in China at that time, and it took six years to complete. In my opinion, the workmanship of this emerald unicorn is It is not inferior to the four national treasures such as 'Quanfang Range Rover' and other emeralds! "
Wu Zhongchao nodded, and said deeply, "I also participated in the production of the four national treasures of jadeite.
Since they are not ancient cultural relics, in terms of cultural status, this emerald unicorn is not inferior to the four major national treasures, and I am not as good as the author who made this emerald unicorn.
Moreover, the germplasm of this emerald unicorn is fine and smooth, the color is bright and gorgeous, the emerald green is thick and uniform, without any impurities, the seed, water, and color are completely consistent, the quality is so good that I have only seen in my life, it is the best among the best.
I can boldly say that as soon as this item came out, all the four national treasures of jade had lost their color, and this jade unicorn can be called the number one national treasure of jade! "
Whether it was the experts from the Palace Museum or Christie's appraisal experts, they all agreed with Wu Zhongchao's evaluation and nodded in unison. This scene also fell into everyone's eyes.
The titles of "Peerless Jadeite" and "No. 1 National Treasure Jadeite" fell on the jadeite unicorn at the same time, and the discussions it triggered were like a thousand waves, not to mention the ordinary people, even the rich people in the venue were talking about it. They were very curious.
No one expected that ATV could produce such a treasure. Run Run Shaw's enamel vase was already eye-catching.
But now that the emerald unicorn comes out, even the four national treasures of emerald that were originally protected by the state have to give way, not to mention Run Run Shaw's enamel vase?
Run Run Shaw's complexion was very ugly, this charity evening
Although the meeting was held by TVB, and the establishment of the "Shaw Prize" was announced before, but now because of this emerald unicorn, the
For a while, ATV became the most dazzling protagonist.
When the discussion in the audience was intense enough, Kang Chuandeng asked Wu Zhongchao and the others: "Since Master Wu said that this is the peerless jadeite and the number one national treasure jadeite, how much is the value of this jadeite unicorn?" Woolen cloth?"
Wu Zhongchao did not answer right away, but took the microphone and said: "Before answering this question, I would like to ask the person in charge of Asia Television, who made this emerald unicorn?
This level of craftsmanship can definitely be called uncanny workmanship, I think, this master is no longer just a master of jade carving, but a master of jade carving. "
He has been pursuing the ultimate in jade art all his life, and now that he has met such a master, he can't help asking.
The camera aimed at Su Lin, the person in charge of ATV, and a staff member immediately sent the microphone to Su Lin.
Then Su Lin said calmly: "The boss of our company accidentally discovered this rough jadeite from Mount Tai, and the master in charge of carving and processing is just a little-known old man among the people.
As for his name, since he asked us to keep it a secret for him, I can't say it out, please don't take offense, Master Wu. "
Wu Zhongchao on the stage sighed deeply, and then said with a smile: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is among the people, it's true, and today we old people are eye-opening."
After a pause, he said to Kang Chuandeng: "For those of us who love jade, this jade unicorn is actually a priceless treasure. If we insist on setting a price, we have discussed it just now."
After that, he stretched out three fingers.
Kang Chuandeng tentatively asked, "300 million?"
Wu Zhongchao nodded, and the appraisal expert from Christie's just now added to Kang Chuandeng: "I want to emphasize here that the 300 million yuan Mr. Wu said just now is in pounds, not Hong Kong dollars."
"British pound? Then, isn't that equivalent to more than three billion Hong Kong dollars?"
Hearing this price, even Kang Chuandeng, who is experienced in hosting, couldn't help losing his composure, because he was the best auctioneer in Christie's auction house.
The tycoons in the audience also gasped. After all, three billion Hong Kong dollars in jadeite was too shocking. As for ATV who donated this emerald unicorn, they are even more impressed, because the value of this emerald unicorn alone has far exceeded the original purchase price of ATV.
Run Run Shaw, Xu Jianming, and Liu Luanhong looked at Zhou Hao as if they were looking at a monster. They donated three billion at one time. Donations to the cause add up to more than two billion yuan.
After a while of commotion, the auction was finally about to start. Kang Chuandeng stood on the auction stage again, but his expression was much more cautious than before.
he said seriously
: "The auction of this emerald unicorn is now started. After evaluation by our Christie's auction house and jade experts from the Palace Museum, the starting price of this emerald unicorn is set at 300 million pounds, and each bid will increase by 10 million Hong Kong dollars."
Compared with the previous auction, the reaction of those buyers in the audience was much quieter. It was three billion Hong Kong dollars, and no one could make a decision in such a short period of time, especially not many of them were real jade lovers.
Run Run Shaw originally planned to buy the ATV auction item to express his anger just now, but now, the starting price of three billion Hong Kong dollars is already enough to make him flinch.
Just when the scene was about to fall into embarrassment, a sign was held up high. It was a middle-aged man sitting in the very back seat.
"One hundred and eight bids! One hundred and eight bids!" Kang Chuandeng shouted excitedly.
At the same time, I will introduce the background of "No. 108" to everyone: "According to our company's registration, the bidder for No. 108 is China Polaris Media and Entertainment Group, and Mr. Wang Zhongjun, CEO of Polaris Group, is present!"
