1109. Auction

When he took the car back to the hotel, Nie Wei was still thinking about Huang Jiazhu in his mind.

In Nie Wei's opinion, this collector is completely looking for the wrong object to show off.

Perhaps his approach is a very common behavior in the collecting world, everyone exchanges their collections with each other, and satisfies the idea of showing off in their hearts, after all, 'wealth does not return to their hometown, such as brocade clothes at night'.

But he found Teacher Wang Jin, which was wrong.

Although Wang Jin is the top watch expert in China, his life is not at all in the same circle as these collectors.

Mr. Wang's lifelong career is to repair clocks and watches in the Bauhinia Museum, study the craftsmanship of clocks, he represents the 'work' in Shinong industry and commerce, he is the representative of the inheritance of the spirit of Chinese craftsmen, and the Bauhinia Museum behind him is the inheritance of Chinese history and civilization.

Huang Jiazhu is the 'businessman' in 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', he is just a businessman, his collection is to satisfy his own desires, and the other is a business.

The two are incompatible, how can they be compared?

I have something that the Bauhinia Museum doesn't have, I'm very happy, Nie Wei thinks about it now, and thinks how ridiculous this old gentleman is.

There will be a total of three days of watch and clock factories, there will be hundreds of watch factories and collectors, come up with nearly 1,000 exhibits for the exhibition exchange, Nie Wei with the film crew followed behind Mr. Wang Jin, watched the exhibition for three days, and felt that his knowledge of clocks and watches had greatly increased.

Many young men secretly have an idea, and decided to go back to Kyoto to meet their girlfriends, colleagues, etc., and they must take the opportunity to show off.

There is also a small auction on the last day of the fair.

Wang Jin did not participate, although this auction is mainly based on clocks and watches, but this is not a circle that Mr. Wang Jin is familiar with, but Nie Wei easily got the pass, and was arranged by the organizer to the best position in the auction venue.

Because this is a game of rich people, and Nie Wei is the richest among the participants.

At the scene, Nie Wei also saw Huang Jiazhu again, but the other party didn't come over this time, but just nodded to Nie Wei from a distance, and Nie Wei also nodded politely, even if he said hello.

After all, the exchange in the past few days was not very pleasant, and there was really nothing to talk about when we met at this time.

The auction began soon, and the auction in the clocks and watches was naturally all about clocks, mostly pocket watches and watches, and there was no large clock, but Nie Wei saw two small and medium-sized table clocks in the auction manual.

Among these auction items, there are two things that Nie Wei has paid some attention to.

One is a Cartier diamond women's watch, Nie Wei was going to take it as a gift for Shu Chang, and even Nie Wei thought about what he said when giving the gift.

"I want to share each other's time with you. Nie Wei thought numbly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The other is a pocket watch, which is also the treasure of this auction, and interestingly, it has a great relationship with the golden pocket watch that Huang Jiazhu showed them before.

Huang Jiazhu's piece was given to her daughter by the queen, and the piece in the live auction was given to her son by the queen.

And the appearance of this pocket watch is also very similar to Huang Jiazhu's piece, that is, it is slightly larger, compared with Huang Jiazhu's small and exquisite, this one is more atmospheric.

"Does the queen like to give her children pocket watches?" Nie Wei asked with a smile at Wu Nan, who was accompanying him to participate, with the auction brochure in hand.

Wu Nan, as an expert officially hired by the Scientific Research Institute of the Bauhinia Museum, although he is not as experienced as Wang Jin, is more than enough to answer Nie Wei's questions.

Indeed, pocket watches were one of the favorite gifts of the British royal family, just as our previous emperors were always fond of rewarding silk cloth and silk. ”

Nie Wei nodded in understanding.

The women's watch that Nie Wei wanted to give to Shu Chang was auctioned in the fifth order, the starting price was 500,000 Huaxia coins, and when the price rose to 800,000, Nie Wei raised his card for the first time, but directly raised the price of this watch to 990,000.

Among them, the two grandfather clocks that Nie Wei paid attention to were also auctioned at prices of 750,000 and 1,090,000 respectively.

Most of the rest of the watches were sold for tens of thousands to two or three hundred thousand.

Before I knew it, almost two hours had passed, and fifteen items had been sold, and the last one was the golden pocket watch that the queen had given to her son.

The starting price is 1.8 million, and it is also the only clock with a starting price of more than one million today.

However, this starting price, in the scene of many people, is not very expensive, when the auctioneer announced the start, immediately someone raised a sign to increase the price, less than 30 seconds, the price of this pocket watch exceeded 2 million, and the organizers are still up and down, one after another, there is no trend of suspending bidding.

Nie Wei was not in a hurry, according to Huang Jiazhu's original introduction, his gold watch that the queen gave to his daughter took him for nearly 500,000 US dollars, and it was still in 2005, and now this watch is not worth much cheaper than Huang Jiazhu's pocket watch.

Five minutes later, the price of the watch had exceeded three million.

Ten minutes later, the rate of alternating price increases finally began to slow down, but the value of the watch had exceeded four million Huaxia coins, which was already slightly more than the price of the watch that Huang Jiazhu collected.

Nie Wei saw that it was almost time, and finally raised the bidding card in his hand for the second time.

"Mr. Nie is a monk of 4.5 million, is there any price increase?" Seeing the offer card in Nie Wei's hand, the auctioneer asked excitedly.

I thought that it was really a huge rich, and the people who had raised the price before were all 350,000 plus, and the most time was only 200,000, but Nie Wei didn't make a move, and once he made a move, it was 500,000, which was completely unreasonable.

In the eyes of the auctioneer, Nie Wei is a rookie who belongs to the auction industry, the most dish-eaten, but for the auctioneer, his favorite is also a super rich rookie like Nie Wei, because often such people usually create amazing results for him.

It's just that in the next second, his whole person is not good.

Because after Nie Wei raised the card, no one at the scene raised the card, and for a while, the scene that was a little noisy because of the fierce bidding turned out to be very quiet.

In 05, Mr. Huang bought a pocket watch of roughly the same style at a price of 497,000 US dollars, and this year, Sotheby's stock price has exceeded one million US dollars. When the auctioneer said this, sweat was on his forehead.

You must know that in the expectation of their auction, this gold pocket watch from the British royal family will be sold for about six million to complete the task.

But since Nie Wei shouted out the price of 4.5 million, no one on the scene made a bid, which was a full difference of 1.5 million yuan from the price they expected.

Thinking of this, the auctioneer couldn't help but look at Huang Jiazhu, in his opinion, it was not Nie Wei who had the greatest desire to buy this gold pocket watch on the spot, but this old Mr. Huang.

In fact, in the auction forecast today, the final buyer of this collection will also be this old Mr. Huang.

Because this old Mr. Huang is very fond of his gold pocket watch, he has to bring it with him every time he participates in the watch exhibition, and he has to show off to the people around him every time.

It was because they were targeting Huang Jiazhu that they dared to estimate the price of six million.

But what the auctioneer didn't expect was that Huang Jiazhu didn't even seem to bother to move his shoulders after making eye contact with him, so he just sat there and glanced at him before shifting his gaze and talking with a smile with the people on the side.

"Four and a half million once. ”

"Four and a half million...... Twice. ”

"Ask again, didn't you increase the price again?" the auctioneer asked through gritted teeth, but unfortunately although there were a lot of rustling exchanges at the scene, no one raised a sign.

And Nie Weizhi stared at him with deep eyes, which also made his psychological pressure extremely great.

"Four and a half million, three times, congratulations to Mr. Nie Wei. Although he was deliberately dragging it out, after the auctioneer met Nie Wei's gaze, the whole person shuddered, and immediately dropped the auction hammer.

He was also afraid that he would offend Nie Wei by dragging it out.

With the final word, the people sitting around Nie Wei also said hello to Nie Wei, Nie Wei responded politely to everyone, he knew very well that he could win this gold pocket watch at a price of four and a half million, which was completely the face given to him by everyone at the scene.

In fact, everyone here also has their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, but most of them have the same thoughts, Nie Wei has the posture of being determined to win, and there is no one present who can compete with Nie Wei with financial resources, and the richest person among them is not worth more than one-tenth of Nie Wei.

Since it is obviously impossible to fight financially, it is better to sell Nie Wei directly to save face and make a good fate, it is better than raising the price, and if the auction house is cheaper but offends Nie Wei, then the gain outweighs the loss.

The pocket watch that Nie Wei bought was the last piece, and the auction was basically over, although the final ending was not too perfect, but the volume and price of the entire auction still satisfied the person in charge of the auction.

When everyone left the auction venue, the person in charge of the auction also deliberately found Nie Wei and gave him his famous brand, thinking that if Nie Wei had anything to auction in the future, he could hand it over to them to deal with, so as to ensure that the highest value of the items could be auctioned.

The person in charge swore that Nie Wei didn't believe it, this auction house is not the top in China, and those top auction houses in the world dare not make such a guarantee, why should he.

Of course, Nie Wei would not poke the cowhide of the person in charge in person, and politely took his business card, which made the person in charge think that Nie Wei was moved, and turned around and was excited for a long time.

When he was at the gate, Nie Wei saw Huang Jiazhu again, and Huang Jiazhu, who was standing at the door, took the initiative to say hello when he saw him and walked over, obviously waiting for Nie Wei here.

"Mr. Nie, I like the pocket watch you bought at the end, and you also know that I have a piece that the queen gave to her daughter, and the piece you bought that the queen gave to her son can just make a set with the piece in my hand, so I take the liberty of transferring this pocket watch, I am willing to pay 50% more than your bid, in order to express my sincerity. ”

"Sorry, no, I'm ready to donate this pocket watch to the Bauhinia Museum. Nie Wei refused cleanly, and then the explanation made Huang Jiazhu dumbfounded, and even Nie Wei forgot to say goodbye.

When Nie Weidu was about to disappear around the corner of the corridor, Huang Jiazhu came back to his senses, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

"This young man really holds a grudge. ”

If Nie Wei heard his words, he would definitely laugh, he really wasn't targeting this old gentleman, although there was also a little bit of him, but when he saw the pocket watch, Nie Wei really just wanted to take a picture of it and give it to the Bauhinia Museum.

Not long after Nie Wei returned to the hotel, the escort team of the auction sent the gold pocket watch to Nie Wei's room, and Nie Wei directly gave the gold pocket watch to Wang Jin after confirming it.

"Mr. Wang, I have this piece in my hand from my wife, and it is difficult to donate it to you, so I took a picture of this pocket watch. ”

"Nie Wei, I'm joking, you don't need to ......"

"Take it, Mr. Wang, as a gift from me to your museum. Nie Wei didn't allow Wang Jin to refuse, and directly asked him to accept it, Wang Jin nodded at Nie Wei with satisfaction, and didn't refuse again.

That night, Wang Jin reported to the museum that Nie Wei donated a gold watch given by Queen Victoria to her son, and the reaction was fast enough, and in less than an hour, the official blog of the Bauhinia Museum issued a letter of thanks thanking Nie Wei for donating the gold pocket watch, which really caused a heated discussion among netizens.

The vast majority of netizens expressed their support for this, and of course, a very small number of people thought that Nie Weiren was stupid and had a lot of money, but such people were basically drowned in the saliva of netizens, and they didn't even splash a wave.

In the praise of the media and netizens, the shares of Nie Wei's listed companies have also risen a little, and the value of the harvest far exceeds the 4.5 million Huaxia coins paid by Nie Wei.

Nie Wei had already returned to Kyoto at noon the next day, but Shu Chang was still on a business trip, and Nie Wei couldn't give this gift for a while.

However, Nie Wei received an invitation from his alma mater, Jingdian, on the day he returned to Beijing.

The content of the invitation has a lot to do with Nie Wei, before Nie Wei funded to help Jingdian build a comprehensive laboratory building, and the construction will start tomorrow, the school will naturally not forget to pay Nie Wei, after learning that Nie Wei is also in Kyoto, he immediately sent out an invitation.

After receiving the invitation letter, Nie Wei first asked Luo Kai about his itinerary for tomorrow, and only after confirming that he was free did he reply to the school.

For this new building donated to the school, Nie Wei is also quite looking forward to it.
