After a more than 40-minute bid, the early morning of May 30, "Sketch of rare Birds" was finally Shanghai buyers Liu to 55.1 million yuan, plus commission, Huizong Zong's "sketch of rare Birds" actual transaction price as high as 61.712 million yuan. Tough auction May 29 night, Beijing Asia Hotel, Poly Auction Spring Auction, senior auctioneer Zoanping presided over a very physical auction.  The evening sale has taken nearly 4 hours. At this time, from the auctioneer's most recent bidders in the hands of the exquisite auction catalogue, revealing a quaint painting scroll.  The scroll is projected on the big screen on the left side of the auctioneer, and Huizong's "sketch of rare Birds" finally came out of the finale. 7 years ago, "sketch of rare Birds" for the first time from overseas to return to Beijing, the end of the price of 25.3 million yuan by the Belgian collectors Ullens, hit the time of the Chinese painting auction sold the world record.  7 years later, the national treasures that once caused a sensation once again appeared in Beijing. "The price is 38 million yuan." The auctioneer Zoanping's voice just fell, the scene bidders have to raise the card. In the next few minutes, the auction price of the painting was easily crossed over the 40 million yuan mark with a bidding ladder of 500,000 yuan. After a breakthrough of 41 million yuan, Zoanping announced the bidding ladder from 500,000 to 50,000.  Since then, the more than 40-minute bid "tug of a battle" only left two characters: one from the telephone commissioned the seat, one is the scene holding No. 572 brand bidders. At this time it is 11:30 night, "Do you still increase the price?" Zoanping to the right side of the telephone commissioned the seat asked. Each time he received an affirmative reply, he pointed to the vacant seat in the middle of the first row and stacked another 50,000 yuan.  The owner of this position, the number No. 572 bidder went out to smoke. May 30 around:02, when the price was called 44.6 million yuan, the door of the auction hall was pushed away. A slightly lazy middle-aged man walked slowly to the middle of the first row of the vacancy, he raised the No. 572 card from the newspaper to increase the price of 500,000 yuan. "55.1 million, you also increase the price?" Again, the auctioneer asked, "Are you still raising your charges?"  "Once, two times, three times, see the staff of the entrusted seat shook his head, Zoanping slowly fall hammer." With the Zoanping of a "deal", "bird painting" was "determined" to the halfway into the middle of the middle-aged, the scene sounded a long time applause.  Plus 12% of the auction commission, the more than 900-year-old "bird painting" actual transaction price of up to 61.712 million yuan.  A person's spring shot who bought a national treasure? In the early hours of the morning, the people huddled in the corridor outside the auction hall were curious to pick up the familiar. "Who bought it?" "FluffyChant。  Then there was a sigh. Fluffy is the new Liu Group chairman of the nickname, Shanghai's grassroots rich, has been known as the "corporate shares king." Liu's office is located in Shanghai Zhongshan South Second Road, through the window, Waitan contour clearly visible.  He wears a light-colored short-sleeved shirt, dark trousers, hair is not neat, as always lazy. Liu in front of the ashtray has more than 10 cigarette butts, he is a heavy smoker. He also smokes in the corridor outside the auction hall from 41 million to 55.1 million of the bid. "Every time he increases the price by 50,000 yuan, he is playing psychological warfare, trying to pass my will by this way of delaying time." Before I went out to smoke, I told the auctioneer that he would add one more time and help me to follow it up. I want to tell him that I will not give up at the scene. "There are five or six newspapers in front of the desk. A financial media disclosure, "corporate shares King" Liu Control of the Shanghai Connaught Saint Information technology company to spend 1.68 billion, subscribe to 700 million shares of BoE A, listed on the first day of the company book earnings nearly 3 billion, Liu personal date of about 2.4 billion yuan.  Another media reported that he took 61.712 million yuan to "sketch the rare birds of the map." More than 10 years ago, Liu began to buy art. In recent years, he has more than tens of millions of expensive works of art frequently in the bag. "In addition to the Imperial Palace, the Shanghai Museum and the Liaoning Provincial Museum, my ancient paintings are not comparable to other museums," he said.  Liu said this with a bullish, no trace of elegance. On the evening of May 29, he also photographed Yifei's huge oil painting "pacing", which was created in 1979. Eight o'clock that night, "pacing" starting at 10 million, the price rose to 25 million, the competition will be among two bidders. Both come from Shanghai and even live in the same neighborhood, but in the course of the competition, they don't know who the competitor is.  The Liu, who eventually held the No. 572 bid, took "pacing" at 40.432 million yuan.  On the second day of "painting a rare bird map", Liu a price of 58.24 million yuan, the song people "Rui Map" hand-rolled to buy. "The sketch of the Rare Bird" and the next day to buy another piece of ancient painting "Rui map" together to 120 million, "pacing" more than 40 million, gourd bottle (note: Qing Qianlong glaze Red Regiment Dragon pattern gourd bottle) More than 13 million, another piece of Yifei ("Girls playing the clarinet") more than 600 (million), ' Sentry duty ' (Note: Shen Jiawei "  "For our great Motherland") more than 700 (million) ... "Sitting on the couch at home, Liu whispered and slowly counted the artwork he had just bought. As with many previous media statistics, in the last two days of May, in order to buy these artworks, Liu used 200 million, someone exaggerated analogy this is his "a person's spring racket." [Page] and the fate of the loss of national treasures as early as a year ago, sensitive domestic auction house will sniff the "rare bird map" is expected to reproduce the Chinese auctionLine of breath. One day, at a dinner at the East Lake Hotel in Shanghai, the senior executive of China's Guardian International auction Company, which led the first return and auction of the rare bird plot, hinted to Liu that the work might be expected to be auctioned again and to test his intention to buy.  Liu immediately said, willing to buy a billion.  2002, the Guardian International auction company through nearly a year of effort, let this "sketch of rare Birds" from Japan back, and at the Beijing Kunlun Hotel for auction. Huizong Zongzhao was the 8th emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. As an emperor, Huizong's political career was gloomy and short, but as an artist, Huizong was one of the most talented emperors in China's more than 2000-year history.  In calligraphy, he created thin gold body, in painting, he is good at flowers and birds, landscapes and characters. Huizong Zong's works are very few, counted on the "sketch of rare Birds" is only 20 pieces, and most of the museum collection.  "Sketch of rare Birds" is known as the Huizong clan stroke One, volume 27.5 cm, 521.5 cm length. Spread out "sketch of rare Birds", one side of the seal tells the history of its thousands of years. "Sketch of rare Birds" after the song, Ming and Qing Palace collection, on a number of Emperor seal, in addition to the song Hui Zong himself, there are Qianlong and jiaqing seal.  In addition, the painting also famous collectors of Ming Dynasty Anyi Zhou, the Qing Dynasty famous collectors liangqing mark of the collection. No one knows when the sketch of rare birds is lost.  Some experts by painting in the recent party "Jiaqing Gongs Treasure" Collection Seal speculated that this work may be in the Qing Dynasty jiaqing years from the palace outflow, and moved to Japan. According to one expert recalls, 2002, the Palace Museum, Shanghai Museum has the purchase intention.  It is said that the imperial palace at that time the psychological price is 10 million yuan, when the bid rose to 23 million yuan, they intend to give up. Although in the "sketch of rare Birds" from overseas back to Beijing, the company immediately invited the ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy research experts Chang, gong, Fu and other joint textual study.  At that time, it was unanimously acknowledged that this was Huizong's later work and was recognized as a rare priceless treasure in hundreds of years. Even so, there was still controversy over the authenticity of the painting. Hesitation, a young man at the scene to 25.3 million yuan to buy it away, a record of Chinese painting and calligraphy auction of the world record. The young man is the agent of a famous Belgian collector, Ullens, who once again went overseas after a brief stopover in the first auction. [Page] The upset price is a billion auction, when Beijing Dong, general manager of the auction close to Liu sit. Dong told reporters such a detail: "After the hammer, he stood up and said," Ah? Knock it on me? I'm not prepared yet! ’。 "Liu's own argument is:" Because the site called Price is far from his psychological price, "I originally intended to use a billion to buy. Although the collection has still been controversial about the authenticity of the sketch of rare birds. Guo Qingxiang, the owner of Dalian Wanda, who has been involved in the collection earlier, believes that Ullens has no reason to put historical valueand art of great value, in the current economic crisis to sell, "This has to make people doubt its authenticity."  "The official response of the Trent Foundation is: first, they want to provide financial support for the art collection of the Trent Foundation and the development of the Ullens Center for Contemporary art by selling the collection, and secondly, to return the collection to the Chinese people." Liu has his own judgment. In fact, in the six months before the auction, Liu was prepared. He asked more than 10 experts from Hong Kong and the mainland to make an analysis. "I asked them not to tell me the truth, and I was asking them for reasons that they thought were true or false."  "After getting this information, Liu is judged by his common sense and logic." Before the auction, the auction company asked Liu whether it was still interested in the "rare Bird map" of national treasure, but did not receive a positive reply. The economic crisis and the "shooting" of people (to question the authenticity of paintings) are not good news.  A minute before the ancient painting was auctioned off, the head of the Poly Auction company always looked at Liu's seat: People were still there, at least to show that he was interested in bidding and that leaving was hopeless at all. At the end of the auction, the general manager of an auction company sent a message to Liu: "You are the man who wrote history and wrote the history of the New China collection." Great works of art is a history of a line, a long history, collectors are online beads, will be excavated after the discovery of posterity, affecting posterity, until the millennium, shuttle in the time tunnel. "This sensational and poetic words all speak of Liu's heart." "To sketch a rare bird map" refers to the people, in the process of historical and cultural inheritance is very small, the national treasure in the past thousand years is not so small people can decide, including myself. History will give it an umpire. I have them, like a punctuation mark in an article. How it evolves in the course of history, the future is known. "On the second day of the sketch," Liu at another auction house, where he met an insider who had been shouting fake pictures of a rare bird, "when he saw me, he said, ' Your sketch of rare birds is cheap '." "Speaking of which, Liu smiled. "If any of the ' false ' sounds are heard, there is no judgment of their own, like a child when my mother said there are many bad people outside, let me not run out the same." "Do I really not go out to play?" he asked.  At the end of June, Liu returned to Shanghai with a new trophy. Liu's home is a well-known villa area in Pudong, with the same magnificence as many of the tenants here. In addition to the famous car in the courtyard, there are many well-known sculptor's representative works, the high living room, in addition to Leonardo da Vinci furniture, painting and ornaments are also from the artists. In the corner of the living room is a group of contemporary artworks that have just arrived from Japan, and the statue of the North Chuanhong was temporarily placed on a table against the wall. Once home, Liu saw these freshFace, "My wife's shopping again!"  He went up and leaned over for a while and then pondered, "It's pretty good ..." Pointing to a wall on the right side of the couch, Liu said that Yifei's work was bought by him many years ago. In addition to the painting, Liu said, most of the artworks displayed at home were made by the wife's eyes. His own recent years of interest in ancient paintings and antiques, because of the family's overall style does not match, was "disorderly" at home, and did not put out. Even when someone comes to visit or take pictures, it's hard for him to find something.
