Chapter 556: Sotheby's.
Sotheby's is known for its auction of art and artifacts and is the oldest auction house in the world. The next time I came to London, I really didn't have any mood to visit, and my sleepy eyes were blurred as soon as I got off the plane. Xue Zimo and Liang Xi disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"They're purely here to play. Ember took the initiative to take her luggage, "I have already booked the hotel, not far from here." ”
The itinerary is tight, and Yizhen also knows that Ember needs to deal with the company's affairs urgently, and his attitude is a little sorry, "I have already booked the return ticket, and it will definitely not affect you." ”
"It doesn't matter. He smiled and pulled her hair behind her ears, "It's only right to accompany my wife out, I don't worry about you alone, I'm afraid you'll lose it." ”
Yizhen took advantage of the situation to get cheap and sell well, "Actually, Liang Xi came out to accompany him, it's okay." ”
Nightash turned his eyes away in disgust, "Come on, that's also a monkey feeder named Hanako, and she has a big heart." ”
Yizhen has participated in several auctions, and the most nutritious part is in the preview. Every year, there are large-scale auctions with great fanfare, and there are even many tours, and there are no tickets and no thresholds. It's an opportunity to learn.
The foreigners who participate in the auction are more financially savvy and are most likely agents of the financiers. The rich man of country C went in person, supported himself with pomp, and spent a lot of money.
I really didn't care about resting, so I had to hurry up and take a good look. This season is a great time for previews and tours.
"I went with Johnson and I could learn something. Yizhen was dressed neatly and put on light makeup. Ember still has a video conference to be held, and he has never had any artistic feelings.
But he leaned back on the bed and looked at her, and although Johnson was her teacher, he was still unhappy that "I have to come back before dark." ”
"Got it, got it. Yizhen smiled and vouched.
"I'm going to check it out when I come back. "Dangerous little eyes.
"Check your size. Mr. Johnson has assistants. Yizhen laughed and scolded and punched him in the air.
It has to be said that as the oldest auction house in the world, the quality of the London show should not be underestimated. Yizhen also saw several sketches of Picasso.
"Isn't it possible to bid online now?" I really don't understand what rules are behind this. In fact, she was a little reluctant to fly to London, it was too hasty, and it seemed a little unworthwhile. Is it for the preview?
"There is also a distinction between domestic and international. "Johnson seems to be smiling" One of the famous auction houses in China is Poly and the other is Guardian. Looking at the world market, it is Sotheby's and Christie's. I think it's here to open your eyes. Another reason is reserve. ”
I really know that. Reserve is a reserve price negotiated between the seller and the auction house, and if the final price is lower than the reserve price, the seller has the right to refuse to sell.
"Sotheby's has a lot of regular customers and knows the host very well. During the auction, they use the host's hint to determine whether the product has reached the reserve price. If the highest bidder doesn't reach the reserve price, the host will sometimes say something like 'add a little more and it's yours', suggesting that the buyer will continue to increase the price. ”
"Our goal is not just to reach the reserve price, but to go above it. Your prestige is still in the country, so we need to make a trip. ”
Johnson explains. I really doubt that Johnson is so interested in her, is it because of Nan Jingfeng?
Sotheby's signboard still occupies a considerable place in Yizhen's heart. Among the more famous auctions held by Sotheby's are Napoleon's collection of books on St. Helena, the jewelry of the Duchess of Windsor, and Picasso's "Boy with a Tobacco" – which sold for $10.4 billion, the highest price ever paid for a work of art in the world.
The Rockefeller auction, which also included a Picasso work, "Girl with Blue," reached $11.5 billion, the highest price in a normal auction. No matter what you think, no one cares about you. Mr. Johnson actually wanted to go above the reserve price.
I really went back to the hotel. Her only skill is to be confused, maybe others think she is imbecile, and she doesn't have to do everything from beginning to end. In short, I came back in a daze.
"Is there anything you have gained?" Ember Nightshade had already taken a break and plunged into the game.
"Nope. Yizhen leaned on his back, "Do you think I will be unpopular tomorrow? How can my paintings be in the same auction as Monet Picasso?"
Nightash glanced at her, "I'm inferior again." Tell me your reserve price, and if no one cares, I'll buy it back and hang it. ”
"I hate it!" Yizhen pinched his waist, "You curse me and no one cares!"
He then hung around his neck and complained, "Mr. Johnson's goal is not to reach the reserve price, but to exceed, exceed! ”
He was serious, but in fact he was impatient, "It won't go unnoticed." If you can enter Sotheby's, someone must buy it. ”
"Who. ”
"Me. ”
"You're teasing me again!"
"What am I kidding you for? Ember dropped the console and patted her on the shoulder, "Sotheby's auctions aren't all Monet and Picasso. Although it's not cheap, don't be so unconfident. ”
"How much cheaper?"
"There are $4,000 to $6,000 bowls, and not all of them can't afford them. Actually, I think online auctions are more suitable. "The analogy stretches the front.
"I've heard that online auctions take a long time. Yizhen blinked, "Is it because there are too many viewers and the Internet is crowded?"
"Of course not. Ember laughed at her woman's opinion, "In the online auction, the highest bidder before the countdown is over. If someone places a bid in the last two minutes, the system will automatically extend it by one or two minutes, giving the overtaken person a chance to call it back. ”
"Therefore, the onle auction with a high level of attention may end a few hours later than the scheduled time, because someone is constantly increasing the price. There was a set of porcelain before, estimated at 10,000 yuan, and finally it was auctioned to 900,000 yuan on the Internet. ”
"But-" He looked at her with disgust, looking embarrassed but having to be loyal to her, "If you run into an unlucky person in an online auction, the attention may be greatly reduced, so you ruined a pot of porridge with a mouse dropping......"
"Shit! fuck off!" he picked up his fist desperately, and smashed it like a small octagonal copper hammer.
"It hurts!" the young master called out delicately.
"I usually kick and kick with others, why don't I see you screaming pain with your neck straight?"
"Then when others beat me, I still beat me with my hands. Why don't you say?"
Yizhen smiled and crooked in his arms, "You can fight back, I can't beat you." ”
"I can't help it. "Seriously.
