Chapter 34 There is no limit to hype

Hearing Tang Feng's shocked question, Zhu Biwei smiled and said to Tang Feng: "This idea was come up with the vice president of our company."

Talent, no wonder China still can’t win the Nobel Prize, and its mind is full of energy. Tang Feng was still muttering to himself, Lin Qianyu walked towards this side, and there was also a man in his thirties who was combed with the boss’s head. Chen Yan looked at the man and woman with his eyes, and whispered in Tang Feng’s ear: “Although the dynasty changes, there is no place to hold the horns.”

Tang Feng looked at the man and said, "I hope this guy is really rich." Since he is from the Peking Opera world, Lin Qianyu is of course coming for that tablet. The man next to her is a rich man at first glance, a beauty likes, and the hero is certainly determined to win.

Chen Yantie smiled and said, "If he had a rival in love, it would be even more exciting." It seems that Chen Yan is also a talented guy. Like Zhang Xzhong, there is nothing else in his head, and there is nothing left in his bloody plot.

When Lin Qianyu and the others sat in the front row of Tang Feng and others, Tang Feng began to pay attention to the first item, which was a straight scroll painting. Seeing Tang Feng looking at the item on the stage, Liu Yue gently touched him with her elbow, and said, "Mr. Tang, this is for you." As she said that, she handed Tang Feng a guide to the item. Tang Feng thanked him and took the guide to read it. This straight scroll painting was a painting by Bo Gu, a famous palace painter in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. The title of the item was "No drama in the country". Tang Feng looked at the introduction of this painting. In May of the 19th year of Daoguang (1839), the Qing government issued the most severe and most meticulous smoking ban order at that time, "Thirty Articles on the Prohibition of Opium Smoke". The following year, Emperor Daoguang issued an order to order Cheng Changgeng to enter the palace to sing opera.

Cheng Changgeng sang "The Descendant of the Ming Dynasty" at that time. In the play, he played the eunuch who was the most trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen, the general general of the Beijing Army when Beijing was besieged. The play was still singing. The minister hurriedly ran in and reported to Emperor Daoguang who was watching the play that the ban on smoking failed. In order to maintain the opium trade, the British launched an aggressive war against China and would soon enter Beijing. As soon as this news came, the stage and the audience were shocked. Cheng Changgeng, who was singing on the stage, covered his face and cried bitterly. A eunuch who wanted to retain the majesty of the Celestial Empire asked him why he didn't sing. Cheng Changgeng said in tears: "The country has suffered such a great humiliation, how can I continue to sing!" So Emperor Daoguang issued an edict on the spot, banning the operas across the country.

This painting "No Play in the Country" depicts the scene at that time. As a court painter, Bo Gu originally wanted to show that Emperor Daoguang "decisively orders" to terminate all entertainment activities in China when the country was in crisis. However, from the perspective of modern people, this is just a cold humor. Emperor Daoguang ordered Cheng Changgeng's Sanqing Ban to sing "The Descendant of the Late Ming Dynasty", which made some jokes about the Ming Dynasty, which was driven down by the Qing Dynasty, but unexpectedly, his Qing Dynasty was also useless.

All of these are not the key points. The most important thing is that Cheng Changgeng was holding a tablet in his hand at that time, and the shape of this tablet was similar to the tablet that Tang Feng was going to auction. Tang Feng was really convinced. Talents are really talented. Those who can come up with such ideas are really fucking talented.

Perhaps it was not sensational enough. The host of ceremonies on the stage then spit out sour water in a low voice. Since then, Cheng Changgeng stayed behind and never performed on stage again. Without singing, there would be no source of life. After the banned play, his friend advised Cheng Changgeng to "go out to the mountain to relieve his eyebrows." Cheng Changgeng replied in tears: "The country is in a strange shame, and the people are greatly humiliated. I would rather be poor than wealthy, so how can I bear to be a musical song venue."

"Oh," the host sighed and said: "Our Peking Opera masters expressed his noble sentiment of worrying about the country and the people with silent actions. The ancients set the first and later inherited it. It was the example set by these ancestors that our national qualities were carried forward. Peking Opera is different from popular songs!"

Chen Yan and Tang Feng looked at each other and immediately applauded. Soon, the applause was thunderous, and Zhu Biwei nodded knowingly. It seemed that the emcee's bonus this month could be moved up. When the audience was filled with applause, Chen Yan and Tang Feng stopped applauding. The ideological realm of these two people was really a problem.

"Sorry, I'm off topic." The emcee bowed deeply to the audience and began to get back to the topic. He said: "I need to give you an introduction here. The tablet in the hand of Mr. Cheng, who appears in this painting, is our No. 8 lot today - the Sanqingban Ivory Props Tablet. The base price of the No. 1 lot is 100,000 yuan, with the lowest increase of 10,000 yuan. The starting price is now."

Chen Yan whispered to Tang Feng: "No, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Tang Feng shook his head and said softly: "I didn't attend the preview. I don't know whether it is true or not, but I doubt it." This is indeed incredible.

Chen Yan looked around carefully, then pointed to the item guide and said to Tang Feng in a very low voice: "How could there be a fake? It says it is safe to protect the old and the authenticity, and if it is fake, it will be compensated ten times."

Tang Feng couldn't answer this question, and he had only a little understanding of the auction industry. He said, "What if he doesn't matter, as long as the tablets can be sold at a good price."

"Oh." Chen Yan looked at Liu Yue and pointed at him, and said to Tang Feng: "You go and ask her."

"Save it." Tang Feng whispered in Chen Yan's ear: "What do you think I have to do with her? Will she tell me their business secrets?" Tang Feng said this, but he was also curious. Lin Muyu had collected information about the Chinese auction industry online before, and there were indeed many dark stories in this industry. In early 2005, the first auction of Beijing Hongsun Auction Co., Ltd., which had just been established, broke two world records.

.At this auction, a painting called "Peach Bamboo Yellow Oriole Scroll" by Song Huizong was sold at a record high price of RMB 61.16 million. A few days later, the Beijing Morning Post published an article saying that a Shanghai collection agency that won the "Peach Bamboo Yellow Oriole Scroll" by Song Huizong only sent 15 million yuan bills to Hongyang. In addition, Hong Kong experts also analyzed several major cancers in the auction industry today, namely money laundering, bribery and bribery, defrauding banks of high loans, etc. ★After the article, it is described ★

"If you ask, you won't die, huh," Chen Yan looked at Tang Feng's expression and said, "Why do I think you dare not?"

"What does it mean to not dare?" Tang Feng immediately sneered.

People change with the change of environment. Lin Muyu's beauty plan taught Tang Feng to be a man, and Chen Yan's aggressive method made Tang Feng try to get close to women.

"Yeah." Tang Feng touched his nose. After stabilizing his emotions, he gently hit Liu Yue with his arm. Liu Yue looked at Tang Feng and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Tang?"

"Oh." Tang Feng whispered: "Can you ask you a question?"

Liu Yue smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's OK."

It’s not difficult to chat with girls, Tang Feng asked: “Is the No. 1 lot real or fake?”

"Of course it's true." Liu Yue said affirmatively.

"How is that possible?" Tang Feng glanced at Zhu Biwei first. The old woman is not as easy as a little woman to fool. He lowered his voice and asked Liu Yue: "How could you find this painting in such a short time and convince the owner of the painting to let him take it out for auction."

"Do you really want to know?" Liu Yue smiled and hooked her finger at Tang Feng, saying, "Get your ears over."

Tang Feng put his ears to Liu Yue's little mouth as he spoke softly in Tang Feng's ear, and then smiled and turned his face away.
