Chapter 203: Harvest
The people in this auction hall are actually many familiar faces to Song Shan.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.
The people who can play the collection are basically some people with good net worth, either have the right or have money, ordinary people can't afford to play antiques at all, and it just so happens that this small group of people are all people who will dominate the northwest in the future.
For example, the middle-aged man sitting in the first row, named Hou Yongliang, may be just an ordinary multimillionaire now, but in the future, he can enter the top ten richest people in the northwest, Song Shan remembers that he was on the list of the richest people in China in 2016.
Also, sitting in the third row, a beautiful woman who is less than thirty years old, is now just relying on the money in her family to be a rich second generation, but twenty years later, who would have thought that she would become the first richest woman in Qinchuan.
There are several others, all of whom are people with good faces that Song Shan looks at.
Song Shan is not a person who specializes in collecting the rich and powerful, and the faces that can be remembered by him are either the best in the agricultural system or a frequent visitor to the magazine news.
Song Shan sometimes thinks that God has given him twenty more years, if he is ill-intentioned, will those rich people and those powerful people in the future appear, you know, the incitement ability of a little butterfly is not only for the people around him, but even for the storm.
"Now, our first auction is a Tang Sancai!"
On the stage, the cheongsam woman released the first auction item.
It was a statue of Tang Sancai.
"Tang Sancai?"
"This is a rare treasure!"
"But looking at this glaze, it's not a national treasure, it should just be a remnant of history, but it's also a treasure!"
"It looks like this auction is not wrong!"
Tang Sancai was a treasure, which instantly caused the whole hall to be shocked.
"The starting price, 200,000 yuan, each bidding price, at least 10,000!"
The cheongsam woman said with a smile.
"Two hundred thousand?"
Song Shan was a little puzzled, and asked Fang Nanyi next to him: "How can a national treasure of Tang Sancai's level be so cheap?"
"Tang Sancai also has a different grade, glaze, quality tire, origin, are very particular, this Tang Sancai does look genuine, but it is not a national treasure Tang Sancai, and the ears are damaged, it should be careless when handling, and the price is reduced, 200,000 starting shots, it is not bad!"
Fang Nanyi said.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" The good start is still of interest to many people, and someone immediately spoke, this is a middle-aged man in his early fifties, wearing a Mao suit, and his voice is loud.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand!"
Someone else continued to bid.
In the end, a middle-aged man sitting in the sixth row was taken down at a price of 320,000 yuan.
Then the cheongsam woman took out the second lot.
This is a piece of jade.
Gu Yu, how to say the full name, Song Shan didn't hear it very clearly, but he didn't like it very much, because it was a funeral item, and it was finally taken down by a female collector, at a price of 170,000.
Next, contact six or seven lots, each of which costs more than 100,000 yuan.
Song Shan gradually also figured out the market, the current antique market, in fact, is only gradually in the start, can be auctioned for 100,000 antiques, are not many, like the original Song Shan sold the lotus warm bowl, such a national treasure level antiques, put in twenty or thirty years later, thirty or fifty million is normal, but this year, it is good to be able to sell one or two million, he can sell more than three million, that is to burn high incense, meet a person outside the industry, and very like, so there is such a high price, if Fang Nanyi accepts, at most will not exceed two million。
The cooperation of many auction houses in this auction house shows strong strength, and each piece is worth more than 100,000 yuan.
Ten lots were sold in one go, and the first session was closed, and the second session was held ten minutes later, giving the guests plenty of time to rest and discuss financial issues.
At the beginning of the second auction, it was an absolute boutique, a painting, Zheng Banqiao's authentic handiwork, after more than the appraiser's identification, it is absolutely genuine, and now there are too few Zheng Banqiao's paintings circulating on the market, and the rarity is expensive, especially antiques, the less the more valuable.
After many aspects of competition, the price exceeded one million, and finally it was won by a private collector surnamed Tong for one million and seven thousand.
"You don't seem to have any intention of making a move?"
Song Shan looked at Fang Nanyi very strangely.
"I didn't even think about making a move!" Fang Nanyi said with a smile: "I am an auction house, buy low and sell high, this is the way I face to make money, we are not collectors, this kind of auction, the price will generally be very high, so basically rarely participate, just to socialize, establish our interpersonal relationships, and then collect some antique information, know whose hand that antique is, this is the most important thing!"
"So, the people who are selling now are basically private collectors?" Song Shan asked.
"Most of them!"
Fang Nanyi said: "However, some antique shops, auction houses, occasionally make a move, and when they encounter some treasures in the town, they will naturally not let go!"
She poked Song Shan and said: "If you want to make a move, you can do it, but you have to be careful, although this auction, there are at least six or seven auction houses as a guarantee, but this line of business, the water is very deep, even if the whole bank is guaranteed, fakes will still appear, don't blame others if you hit the eye, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky!"
"Not interested!"
Song Shan shook his head: "Collecting antiques is not my interest, I am only interested in bronze tripods, and the rest, no matter how good it is, it is none of my business!"
He is not an archaeology major, and he doesn't like antiques, at most it's just a decoration, not to mention hobbies, and he won't spend a lot of money on this, unless it's a bronze ancient tripod, he still cares more.
The main reason is that there are some unsolved mysteries in myself, which are involved in this aspect.
The next auction became more and more intense, and more and more treasures were revealed, which amazed countless people present, and it was definitely the most valuable auction in Northwest China in the past ten years.
Song Shan and Fang Nanyi didn't make a move from beginning to end, they have always been like spectators, Fang Nanyi is very interested, she has no opinion on the auctioned antiques, she can't help but popularize it with Song Shan, Song Shan is the most loyal listener.
Until the twenty-seventh lot, Song Shan was in good spirits.
"What is being auctioned now is a bronze tripod from the Shang and Zhou dynasties!" The cheongsam woman Qianqian jade hand, lifted the red cloth, revealing a palm-sized bronze tripod under the tray, with three legs and two ears, simple and dull, stained with patina, and it looked obviously a little old.
When this bronze tripod appeared, Song Shan obviously felt that his palms jumped inexplicably.
The little stone tripod hanging around his neck also trembled.
Hidden in the palm of the hand is the alchemy tripod, the pendant hanging on the neck is the baicao tripod, and the two tripods have movement, which shows that the bronze tripod above is related.
"The starting price, 100,000, each bid, not less than 10,000!"
"One hundred thousand!"
Song Shan raised his card for the first time.
"You want?" Fang Nanyi frowned.
"Hmm!"
Song Shan nodded.
"120,000!" someone argued with Song Shan.
"One hundred and thirty thousand!"
Song Shan continued to bid.
The price of the bronze tripod is not high now, but this bronze tripod obviously has a collection value, so at the auction, it will be raised, and it is difficult to say how far the final price will be.
As the saying goes, it's hard to buy a favorite.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!" a tall man raised.
"One hundred and sixty thousand!" Song Shan chased after him.
"Two hundred thousand!"
A calm old man slowly raised his card.
"Two hundred and one thousand!" Song Shan gritted his teeth and continued to bid.
"It's too much!"
"This bronze tripod looks at the shape and texture, more than 180,000, and after 200,000, it is not worth it!"
Many collectors are measuring, so they bid indiscriminately.
"Two hundred and one thousand!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"
In the end, this bronze ancient tripod was still won by Song Shan.
Song Shan breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't return empty-handed, this time the auction house, to get this Gu Ding, it was already worth returning the ticket price, after all, there were too few things that could cause the Baicao Ding and the Medicine Refining Ding.
