The auction house has exposure channels. Although it is not fidelity, it will still be somewhat guaranteed.

If you trade privately, it is even more difficult to guarantee the authenticity, and it depends entirely on your own identification level.

This means that if Xia Yu bought bronzes from an auction house, he would have a lot more money than if he bought them from the antique market.

In addition to the premium at the auction, there is also the commission he gives to the auction house, and the commission given by the seller is actually counted as it is all paid by the buyer in the end.

But there is nothing we can do about this. It has been difficult for Bai Gaoze to receive real bronzes on the market for a long time recently. If he identified it as fake, he did not need to notify Xia Yu at all and asked him to identify it in person, because there are too many.

Auction houses provide channels and do work hard. For example, persuading collectors who have worked with them before to take out their collections, basically saying that they will appreciate the value. They will communicate with other collectors, and then collect their favorite collections, and continue to cycle.

This type of auction house generally does not have too many collections collected by the public.

First of all, the quality is uneven, and it is time-consuming and troublesome to identify.

Secondly, many of the collections in the hands of the public are said to be family-born, but in fact they do not have a legal background. Many times, if they are exposed, they will easily cause legal trouble.

The situation in Hong Kong City is even more relaxed. In China, it is really difficult to get bronze ware on auction and is easy to be reported.

For example, the two domestic auction houses that Xia Yu went to today, the bronze ware they collected was definitely not allowed to be auctioned in China.

It's fine in the port city, but the popularity is definitely not as high as those bronzes that are circulated in an orderly manner.

Some of these bronze ware were seen by Bai Gaoze in the industry.

There is only one source, in China.

The key is to see the age of the unearthed land. There are many things that have been traced back a long time ago.

Speaking of these, Xia Yu and Bai Gaoze are full of topics, old and young, and there is endless things to talk about.

After Bai Hanfei and his wife returned home, they called them out of the study for supper.

"Ayu is still so polite, and brings seafood here again." Bai Hanfei said to him with a smile.

"I'm embarrassed to always eat free food." Xia Yu replied.

Bai Gaoze said, "Just treat this place as your own home, there is no way to be embarrassed to be embarrassed."

Xia Yu laughed and said, "I just took this place as my own home and brought seafood here. You can tell if you ask Xiaojiao."

Both Bai Gaoze and his son laughed. They both knew this. Bai Gaorui and Bai Yujiao often said that Xia Yu often brought good things over and kept them foolish.

The two of them didn't say that much. Xia Yu had the ability to get seafood and could afford it. They could just enjoy it.

During the meal, Bai Hanfei's wife Liang Ying also said almost the same thing.

Xia Yu still said the same thing, just let everyone eat with confidence.

The atmosphere at the dining table was quite good, relaxed and pleasant.

Although the others are elders, Bai Haoxuan, a peer, has been slutty again, but Xia Yu is thick-skinned and is not restrained at all. He should eat and drink.

After the meal, he and Bai Gaoze continued the unfinished topic and then made an appointment to go to the auction site together tomorrow to experience it.

Then Xia Yu went back to his residence to rest. The auctions of several major auction houses tomorrow will start at 10 o'clock in the morning. Those who like to sleep in can sleep for a while.

Bai Yujiao, who loves clingy girlfriend, still has to video with him for a while before going to bed before she can rest with peace of mind. The two of them have no worries about the topics they talk about.

Then Xia Yu continued to toss about the things in his space, and he also had fun. Anyway, as long as it doesn't really treat it as a boring task.

When sorting out the wrecked shipwreck cultural relics, it was also a process of witnessing history and restoring history. For him who studied history, this was a kind of spiritual food.

Moreover, he also has material cultural relics in his hands, so he is happy with it.

The next day after he got up, he made breakfast and went to meet Bai Gaoze. His apprentice Lin Xiangyang met with the two directly at the auction site. These days, it was a feast for collecting antique cultural relics.

But after Bai Gaoze arrived at the scene, he looked at it and said, "There are still many fewer buyers than in the past few years. It used to be crowded. Now there are many fewer tourists here, and the chaotic situation still has a great impact on this."

Xia Yu had nothing to say. There was a cause and a result. There was a mess that harmed the whole world. These were inevitable.

Shengdou Xiaomin is also quite helpless about this, so he should live his own life first!

They are not interested in modern and contemporary artworks, nor do they have the ability to participate.

They are still more concerned with antiques and cultural relics, especially porcelain. As for ancient calligraphy and painting, just look at it, because they are not in stock.

There are also special events for jewelry and jade, all of which are the best diamonds, jade, red and sapphire and other leading roles.

It was still quite lively when I went to the auction site, but because there were more items to be auctioned, the auction speed was relatively fast. Many items ended in a few rounds.

Unless it is a particularly popular lot, the auction is not that intense.

The auction of Yuan blue and white porcelain that Xia Yu and Bai Gaoze are most concerned about was in the afternoon. Bai Gaoze had visited and identified the actual items before.

To be honest, it is a bit far worse than the Yuan blue and white porcelain made by Xia Yu, and the number is only a few.

The market response does not seem to be particularly good, otherwise the few pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain he handled before would not have been sold so quickly.

Because there is such a comparison.

As for the Yuan blue and white porcelain sold at many other small auction companies, many bigwigs in the collection industry will not pay attention to it at all.

Do you think there is a possibility of genuine products?

It is also possible, but it is slim and the probability is even lower than winning the lottery.

Under such circumstances, they are more willing to believe that old antique dealers like Bai Gaoze have a reputation and a store, and have been in business for decades.

After having lunch nearby, I continued to watch the fun.

At this time, some battle reports in the morning had already been revealed.

Modern art works with transaction prices of more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars have been released, and other calligraphy and painting works exceeding 10 million.

But this is just an appetizer. Everyone knows that the evening auction should set a new record. This time, heavyweight modern and modern art works are all placed in the evening auction.

Xia Yu and Bai Gaoze and Lin Xiangyang could only laugh it off, and both said, "I can't afford to play!"

The special porcelain auction is also a focus of attention for many people.

After all, there are still many buyers like Bai Gaoze and others who prefer this type of antique cultural relics with less and less number.

Porcelain in the Ming Dynasty still had a place, and a blue and white bowl from the Chenghua period was unanimously sought after by many buyers.

The price increase on site was endless, from the starting price of HK$30 million to the final price of hammer was 48 million.

With the commission, the transaction price is HK$57.6 million, and the auction house commission is 20%.

But another pomegranate flower-shaped plate with blue and white flowers in the Xuandeji blue field was sold, and no one bids for it, and finally failed to sell it.

The porcelain from the official kilns of the Third Qing Dynasty was also particularly popular among buyers.

A piece of Qing Qianlong material yellow enamel phoenix dance was finally sold for more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in competition with many parties.

Xia Yu was very difficult to get such porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The main porcelain in the shipwreck was very few. The porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties was basically sent to the palace.

Unless that kind of official ship is given to overseas vassal states.

The competition among the Yuan blue and white porcelain they are concerned about is average.

There is a small Yuan blue and white high-foot cup with a very average appearance and finally it was sold for only more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

This is quite consistent with Bai Gaoze and his friends' expectations, which also shows that the buyers are still quite rational.

Among them, the highest-valued Yuan blue and white porcelain is a bowl with Yuan blue and white fish and algae patterns. It is also circulated in an orderly manner. It has been collected by many famous artists and has appeared in auctions many times. It is considered a particularly familiar face.

The color of blue and white hair is not particularly bright, the one is very light, and the appearance is a bit incomplete.

Xia Yu and the others did not participate in the auction, and the final price was HK$7.6 million, and the transaction price was RMB9.12 million.

But compared to the last time this Yuan blue and white porcelain attended the auction, the price is much higher.

In the evening, I continued to go to another internationally renowned auction company. A Yuan blue and white plum vase with an estimated price of more than 10 million yuan failed to sell it, and no one raised the sign at all.

Xia Yu understood what this means a little.

The buyers are not stupid, and Bai Gaoze also told him that this Yuan blue and white porcelain is very unstable. Even if it has appeared at auctions abroad before and no one has raised the sign, it means that everyone does not agree with it.

There is not even a person who wants to find a bargain.

In sharp contrast, buyers were very interested in the other small bowl of Yuan blue and white at the same auction.

But they all stopped at the right time and finally sold for less than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

It seems that these buyers have maintained enough rationality.

The entire porcelain auction special session maintained such a calm state, and there was no particularly different from the estimated prices of the people in the industry.

But at the auction they did not attend, modern and contemporary art created a "miracle".

A modern and contemporary artwork by the painter who was recently recommended is a few fruit girls who were painted. They were frantically sought after by buyers on site, and the final transaction price reached more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Other modern and modern artworks have also risen, with the transaction prices of two acrylic paintings exceeding 100 million.

Xia Yu and Bai Gaoze who received the news were both stunned. To be honest, if they were particularly precious porcelain or other cultural relics, they would not be surprised to find such a price.

But modern artworks?

Well, I can only say they can't understand.

Xia Yu also smiled and said, "Anyway, we won't spend money to buy it, just watch the fun."
