Related news buyers regret the Emperor Qianlong porcelain bottle sky-high bubble or burst China's current value of the highest art, is a Qing Qianlong produced in the years of the enamel hollow porcelain vase? For now, this conclusion is questionable. April 4, the British owner of the porcelain vase has not received a Chinese buyer 53 million pounds (about 550 million RMB) payment.　　The buyer reneged. If the money is still not in place this week, the porcelain will be auctioned off and the record of Chinese art will be rewritten.　　The integrity of the art auction industry has once again aroused strong concern. Event: No payment, buyer back off. Mr. Johnson, a 54-Year-old, met a Shanghai entrepreneur a few days ago. The latter last November in the United Kingdom to 550 million yuan sky-high, photographed the Johnson family hid a Qianlong enamel hollow porcelain vase. However, despite nearly half a year before the auction time, Johnson still did not bring back the money.　　According to the Shanghai entrepreneur, he has no intention of paying now. The buyer reneged, refusing to pay, which made Johnson deeply helpless. Last November, at the Bainbridge auction house in the UK, Johnson felt he was really going to be rich when the price of the pastel-carved porcelain vase soared in the hands of several Chinese buyers and eventually hit a record for Chinese art. Now it seems that everything is onlyIt's a dream. "I haven't got a penny so far." "Angry Johnson sent an ultimatum to Chinese buyers:" If the arrears are not accounted for next week, the porcelain vase will be auctioned again. "Once the porcelain is patted, it means that 550 million of the Chinese art record will be canceled," he said.　　Last year, the 430 million Tingjian, Pillar Ming, will be replaced by the most expensive Chinese art. Reason: Overestimate value?　　Making trouble? Although Chinese buyers have yet to give an exact reason for refusing to pay, according to industry insiders, the buyer's remorse is mostly due to the fact that he found himself taking too much money afterwards. It is understood that the production in the Qing Qianlong 30 (1740) about the imperial kiln Pastel Hollow porcelain vases, the use of complex double wall design, through the outer large bottle can see the inner layer of small bottles, oval-shaped bottle body has four sets of spiral decoration, each group are painted fish paddle patterns.　　At present, in addition to the Taipei Palace Museum has a similar collection, only this one, so called gem, good Price is also reasonable. But after the auction results were announced, China's domestic collection of the bottle "not high, too gaudy", "in addition to polished or polished, in addition to elaborate or elaborate" of the discussion will be one after another. Jiangsu Provincial Arts and Crafts Art Museum Committee members Wang Dongwei Blunt 550 million yuan price is too expensive, "30 million or 40 million". There are even experts who question the authenticity of the bottle--Mr. Johnson said that the porcelain vase was found in the attic of the deceased parents ' home, and that it was unclear how the bottle came to Britain from China and then to their house.　　And a piece of art is not clear inheritance sequence, it is the taboo of collection. Amid skepticism, Chinese buyers have been shaken to the point of refusing to pay. The matter in the international cause uproar, in addition to "overvalued value" and the back of the speculation, some voices also think that this is the buyer deliberately disruptive, for is not let others take this vase.　　But people familiar with the matter said the odds were slim because the auction participants had deposited a margin, and the breach meant that the margin could not be taken back and the credibility was sweeping, and no one was willing to do so. Behind: "Fake buyers" more and more common 4th news, the Chinese buyer back to the critics for a time. A lot of netizens puzzled, buy things are to see after only buy, which have bought after the truth? In the final analysis is a question of integrity. At present, the art market is mostly "false experts", "false identification" and "false cultural relics" of "three false problems." People are used to pointing fingers at the so-called collectors and fake auction houses that provide fake artifacts, but ignoring the buyer's honesty is also a problem.　　According to reporters, such as the purchase and refused to pay the situation, in the Chinese art auction industry is very common, so that some auction houses never think that the hammer is a racket, the money in the heart will settle down. According to the Youth Daily News, China Art auction turnover last year the world's first French professional website, "Art Price Net" (Artprice) released data show that 2010 Chinese artAuction turnover amounted to 3.1 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 33% of global market share, become the world's first.

Foreign media exclaimed that "China is buying the world" some Chinese are trying to provoke the nerves of the world in their own way. The huge amount of money they throw at overseas markets makes foreigners stare again and again. In recent years, the extravagantly of Chinese people have not been very fresh, and with the expansion of China's foreign investment, some overseas media have even issued a "China is buying the world" exclaimed. According to the BBC, a survey of 28000 people in 27 countries shows that public concern about China's economic power is increasing.　　These concerns are mainly among some of China's key trading partners, especially in rich countries. The 2010 Global Art market: Crisis and recovery reported that prices in the art market soared as the number of wealthy Chinese buyers surged last year.　　The report also noted that in many countries the market for luxury goods shrank in 2009, but signs of recovery began in 2010, driven by Chinese consumers. The soaring speed of Chinese art prices has made foreigners speechless, and China's rich people have also attracted attention at home and abroad. The Financial Times reporter Fu Wensen, wrote that the price of the vase behind the price of Chinese "porcelain patriotism." In his view, some rich people in China are eager to buy back their cultural heritage with patriotism complex. Tom Friedman, The New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Laureate, points out: "There is no doubt that the rise of China coincides with the stagnation and paralysis of the leading Western countries, which brings psychological unease to Westerners." "In Europe, rich Chinese in London and PakistanThe powerful purchasing power of the place, such as Lebanon, is even frightening. France has media commentary, rich Chinese "from enterprises, land to port, debt, all do not buy."　　The British economist also published a cover article on "China buys the world completely". Chinese experts say that China's "ultimate collectors" in the "2010 China Art Market Summit Forum", some experts pointed out that with China's strong economy, the rise of private entrepreneurs, the growing demand for Chinese culture, the domestic art market into the "billion era", Chinese collectors in the international art auction market began to enjoy full discourse right,　　Our country has already appeared "The Ultimate hiding House" that does not take the investment profit as the goal.
