Volume 2 Chapter 302 One More Piece
"There is also this Zhao Mengfu's "Persuasion Post" You have set a 25 million, which is equivalent to the value of Zhao Mengfu's other works, but this "Persuasion Post" is a recorded work in history, and there has been no authentic work, and the occasional appearance on the market has long been confirmed to be a fake, this one has been confirmed to be a genuine work, then its value will be higher than the market price, set to 28 million. ”
"Yes, twenty-eight million, written down. "Manager Qian was sweating, and said in his heart that I am a figure estimated at a premium, are you too little?
"Alright, everything else is pretty much there, so be it. He Wenyuan saw that Manager Qian was sweating, so he was no longer embarrassed for him, anyway, he also felt that these calligraphy and painting works were treasures that had never appeared on the market, as long as he knew a little bit about the goods, he would not let them go easily.
"Fourth brother, it's almost time, let's go down. "Durin was also tired of sitting and wanted to go down and see the auction soon.
"Yes, Director He, it's time to open soon, let's enter. Manager Qian also hurriedly proposed.
"Okay, let's go down. He Wenyuan patted the armrest of the sofa and got up to leave his seat.
Manager Qian hurriedly opened the office door first, and then the three of them went downstairs together.
Manager Qian called a staff member and explained the "psychological reserve price" of the five lots, needless to say, the staff naturally knew what to do.
Arriving at the door of the box, Du Lin stopped, "Fourth brother, you go and sit in the box, I want to see how these people are auctioned up close in the hall, and see, there is no such feeling in the box." ”
"Okay, then you go, I won't go, today is not just to auction your few objects, if you see other good things, you can hold up the card and auction it, don't worry about the money, don't forget, you are also an out-and-out billionaire now, have fun." He Wenyuan patted Du Lin on the shoulder and smiled.
"Well, if there's something I'm interested in, I'll do it. ”
The auction hall of the auction house is not small, there are three or four hundred square meters, the decoration is brilliant, even the seats are painted gold, very luxurious, one side of the hall is a big high platform, one side is placed a high table, on which a golden mallet is placed.
There are dozens of people sitting at a table in the hall, Duhrin found an empty table in the back position and sat down, there are a few plates of pastries and fruits on the table, and two bottles of red wine, the label is all French, Duhrin has no research on red wine, let alone French, but the degree will still be seen, the alcohol content marked on the wine bottle is 22 degrees, this degree is not low.
Du Lin thought about it, and then understood why the auction house put a bottle of red wine with such a high degree on the table, after people drank wine, under the stimulation of alcohol, the blood flow rate will be accelerated, and the brain activity will be more excited, at this time people often can't think calmly, in the auction house This kind of occasion, it is precisely the most important thing to be calm, once people are not calm, they will raise the price crazy when someone grabs a certain lot with him, and the auction house certainly hopes that the more such wrongdoers, the better.
But Duhrin thought very evilly, if it were me, I would change to a 60-degree two-pot head......
There is a beautifully bound auction manual on the table, on which are the items to be auctioned tonight, Du Lin took it in his hand, and found that this thick manual was printed in full color on coated paper, and the cost of this auction manual alone was nearly 100 yuan, and when I looked at it, there were more than 30 tables, and two books were placed on each table, plus pastries, fruits, and red wine, just the things on this table, the auction house was afraid that it would cost more than 100,000 yuan, and it seemed that this auction house was really rich.
That's right, according to the industry rules, the auction house has to take a 4% handling fee from the turnover for each auction category, imagine that the auction price of 10 million can be 400,000 yuan, which is enough for the cost of this auction, and the rest of the auction is pure profit, which shows how profitable the auction house should be.
The people who came to participate in the auction were all collectors from Dongjiang Province or several surrounding provinces, including many big entrepreneurs with a net worth of billions or even tens of billions, which was also a good opportunity for them to make friends and negotiate business. So, although the auction hasn't started yet, the scene is still very lively, and from time to time there are pot-bellied bosses looking around for someone to chat with a wine glass.
In addition to the boss, there are also a few old people wearing placket Tang costumes are also chatting, but they are not holding wine glasses in their hands, but holding small objects such as purple sand teapots, jade, beeswax, etc., and exchanging collecting experiences while playing.
There is also a small circle, all of whom are people who look like boys, these people are drinking red wine, while hugging the beauties around them and talking and laughing loudly, and they are all talking about some scandals and lace, and they can't be on the big stage.
Durin looked very out of place in this, but he was not alone, and there was another person who sat alone at the back of the table like him, this person was ordinary, not tall, and mediocre in appearance, and belonged to the kind of person who would never be found in the pile, but his biggest characteristic was that he was white!
This person's whiteness is not inherently white, but the kind of sickly whiteness that does not see sunlight all year round. And in this person, Durin felt a familiar aura.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked briskly to the auction table, picked up the mallet and knocked it lightly a few times.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to the autumn auction of the Dongjiang branch of Shanhe Auction House, I am Gao Tianyu, the auctioneer today. ”
The chatter was quiet, and everyone returned to their seats.
The auctioneer was dressed in a black tuxedo, a pair of shiny black leather shoes, a meticulous shiny back, and a mustache, which looked quite careless and even funny.
"There are a total of eight lots today, the specific situation of the lots has been mailed to all the VIPs in advance, and the auction brochure on the table is also very clearly described. Gao Tianyu's voice was very loud, he didn't hold a microphone, even if Du Lin sat in the back row, every word he said was very clear in Du Lin's ear.
Du Lin flipped through the auction brochure in his hand again, he remembered that the leaflet and brochure just now said that there were seven lots, why did the auctioneer say that there were eight lots?
"The following is the first lot of today, this lot was added temporarily, so it is not in the auction brochure, if you are interested, you can come to the stage and palm your eyes. ”
