Chapter 223: The Auction Begins
The first point is to prevent someone from deliberately making false declarations and quoting a sky-high price at once, but they can't pay the money after the most unsuccessful auction, although those who can enter the auction have paid the deposit, but that is obviously not enough to make up for the loss of the auction, the more precious the auction item, the greater the loss.
The second point is to arouse the emotions of the bidders, for example, there are two people at the same time in a lot, and the two sides bid, this time and again, it is easy to cause hatred between the two parties, and the price is often auctioned much higher than the original price in mind for the sake of a breath.
In addition, this time and again also gave the auction company a buffer time, you can investigate the identity of the auctioneer, and those who can enter the auction are listed in the auction company.
"It seems that I still have less knowledge of the world. ”
Mo Yongxing's explanation made Qin Yu understand that there are many unwritten rules in the auction, such as if one party holds up a red sign, then the other party must also hold a red sign to increase the price, and not a white sign, let alone a minimum bid higher than the other party's price, as in the novel.
"If you look at this information again, this is the list of members I have collected who have participated in the auction held by this company in this hotel in the past five years, if this auction has nothing to do with the organization behind He Ping, then it is very likely that among the members of the auctioneers, there are people who have contacted He Ping. ”
"These are all that you thought of?" Qin Yu looked at Mo Yongxing in surprise, with Mo Yongxing's head, he could actually think of this, could it be that this guy had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before?
"This is what my sister told me, take a look, these people are also coming this time, and I also marked the seat number on it. Mo Yongxing's face turned red when Qin Yu looked at him, he naturally wouldn't have thought of this. These were all things that his sister called and asked him to check.
Qin Yu showed a sudden look in his eyes, if Mo Yongxin explained, it would be normal, Qin Yu lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand.
According to the results of Mo Yongxing's investigation, there are seven people who have participated in the auction in a row in the past five years, all of whom are bosses in different industries, and Qin Yu did not see anything suspicious about them for a while.
"What position does He Ping sit in every time he comes to the auction?" Mo Yongxing suddenly and mysteriously asked in a whisper beside Qin Yu.
"I don't know what to do. Qin Yu shook his head, he didn't know how to count, how could he know where Lu Daohe was sitting.
"That's where you are now, according to my investigation. Every time He Ping participates in this auction, he sits at 88, which has never changed, and I don't know if Lu Dao was requested by him on his own initiative and the organizer, or is it really such a coincidence?"
"It must not be a coincidence, haven't you asked this auction company? If it was He Ping's request, the person in charge of this auction company should have an impression. Qin Yu pondered for a while, he has come to participate in the auction for five consecutive years, and he sits on No. 88 every time, it is impossible for the auction company not to be impressed.
"Didn't ask. Isn't this afraid that the auction company has something to do with the mysterious organization behind He Ping, won't this question startle the snake?" Mo Yongxing shook his head and replied.
"The auction has begun, and my sister means that we should focus on these six people first. First determine whether these six people are related to the organization behind He Ping, and if not, then investigate the auction. ”
Mo Yongxing's gaze swept to a middle-aged man walking up to the auction table, and said a word to Qin Yu. Just set your sights on the auction table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in this large-scale jade auction organized by Fillier Auctions. I believe that many of the guests here have a detailed catalogue of the auction items in their hands, but this album only lists 36 auction items, and there are 56 jade artifacts actually participating in the auction this auction, and the rules are the same as in previous years......
On the auction table, the auctioneer kept talking about the rules of the auction, but many people on the scene were not listening, only a few people were listening carefully like Qin Yu, and it was estimated that these people were also the same as Qin Yu, and it was the first time to participate in this auction.
"Okay, I won't say much else, all of you are big bosses, busy with affairs, and I don't dare to waste everyone's time too much, so I announce that the 2014 Philip NC large-scale jade auction has officially begun. ”
"Smack!" the auctioneer's hammer struck on the table, and when he heard the sound, the crowd that had been whispering became quiet, quietly waiting for the auction to appear.
"This first auction item is a seal of ancient jade seal, you can see that this ancient jade seal is 8.2 centimeters high, the left and right bamboo belt original box, the whole body is pitch black, the color is old and glossy, the dwarf square column carved on it a dragon turtle, the shape is majestic and simple, according to the expert appraisal of our auction company, this is an official seal of the Han Dynasty. ”
The auctioneer finished the above paragraph in one breath, and when the auctioneer did this, the two LCD screens on the left and right also showed the multi-angle graphic carving of this ancient jade seal, which was not at all different from what the auctioneer said.
"Everyone knows that the official seal system of Lu Dao originated from the Six Seals system established by Qin Shi Huang, but the history of the Qin Dynasty is short, so it can only be traced back from the Han system. The official seal system of the Han Dynasty was further improved, and it was more strict and meticulous, and the Han Dynasty used button production as a symbol to distinguish official ranks. Ying Shao's "Han Guanyi" contains: princes and kings, golden seals, camel buttons. Liehou and even the prime minister, the captain and the three dukes, the front and back of the left and right generals, the gold seal turtle button, the middle two thousand stones, the silver seal turtle button, the bottom of the seal is engraved with the seal text "left and right to repair bamboo." ”
In the Han Dynasty, the rank of officials in the Lu level, in the meaning of full, in the two thousand stone that is the actual two thousand stone, where Taichang, Guangluxun, Weiwei, Taifu, Tingwei, Zongzheng, Shaofu. The chief of the central organization such as the executive Jinwu and others were all in the middle of the 2,000 stones. There is also a three-auxiliary setting among the magistrates. The so-called "three auxiliaries" refer to Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng, all of whom are ranked in 2,000 stones, and in today's terms, they are the ministers of various departments of the State Council.
"So this ancient jade is the official seal of the Han Dynasty that can only be used by the court officials who are full of 2,000 stones, and the jade quality and carving are very in line with the jade level of the Han Dynasty, this can be regarded as a rare good object, and I will announce the reserve price of this jade seal. The auctioneer, seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted to him, smiled on his face and shouted:
"The auction reserve price of this ancient jade seal of the Han Dynasty is 280,000 yuan, the yellow brand increases the price each time it increases by 10,000 yuan, and the red brand increases the price each time it increases 50,000 yuan. The auction begins below. ”
"The price of the 23rd guest increased by 10,000, and now it is 290,000. ”
"The price of the No. 36 guest increased by 10,000, and now it is 300,000. ”
……
"Guest No. 42 has increased the price by 10,000, and now it is 420,000, is there any bidding? 420,000 once, 420,000 twice, 430,000 three times, the transaction! Congratulations to the 42 guests for obtaining the first ancient jade seal of the Han Dynasty. ”
Qin Yu doesn't know much about jade, it's about the same as ordinary people, and he only knows some general names of jade species. Maybe Huang Longyu is the one that Qin Yu knows the most.
This Han Dynasty jade seal Qin Yu looks really good, the streamer is simple, but Qin Yu doesn't know much about the price of jade, so naturally he won't bid casually.
As for Mo Yongxing, he was not even as good as Qin Yu, he saw a lively scene, so many people kept bidding in order to compete for a piece of jade, and the lively atmosphere on the scene made him enjoy it very much.
With the successful auction of the first piece of jade, five more pieces of jade were auctioned off in the next half hour, and of course one more jade item was auctioned. However, the auctioneer was not affected by the unsold jade in the slightest, and was still in high spirits, continuing to introduce the next auction item to everyone.
"Qin Yu, look at these jade artifacts if they want to make a move. You now have a net worth of tens of millions, and you can also collect the entire high-grade jade. Mo Yongxing squinted at the jade on the stage and said to Qin Yu.
"If it's tens of thousands of dollars, I'm still interested. It's tens or millions of dollars, and I don't have the spare money to buy this thing. ”
Qin Yu shook his head, in fact, although Qin Yu made a lot of money. But the idea of a small farmer still exists, and he is still very reluctant to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of jade.
"Cut, what do you know, this buy ancient jade, play is called a culture, and when you mix into a certain circle layer in the future, you will know the Tao, there are no one or two antiques at home, people will treat you as a nouveau riche, know that the price of antiques in China has been high, it is fried by some nouveau riche, they need some antiques to show their culture, as for the price is expensive, it doesn't matter. ”
What Mo Yongxing said Qin Yu has also heard that this phenomenon has existed in the domestic antique market for a long time, and those who became rich in the eighties and nineties, many of them are not highly educated, and these people have heard that those who play antiques are cultural people, so they have joined the antique industry, hoping to buy one or two antiques to prove that they are also a cultural person, resulting in the price of antiques in China is soaring.
There used to be a coal boss in Shanxi, in order to support himself and show that he was educated, he spent a lot of money at an auction and spent hundreds of millions of yuan to buy more than a dozen antiques home, including calligraphy and painting, jade, and porcelain.
Of course, the coal boss's behavior not only failed to prove that he was a cultural person, but caused ridicule from many people in the circle, but the coal boss didn't care, according to what he said, he was like this in his life, but when his son and grandson inherited these antiques, his family can also be regarded as a literate family, and these antiques can be regarded as an orderly inheritance.
I have to say that what the coal boss thinks is still very reasonable, three generations later, who knows what your ancestors did, but these antiques gave him the capital that his descendants bragged about.
"This jade is the Han Dynasty green and white jade to ward off evil spirits, weighing 1662 grams, 11.5 cm high, 19.5 cm long, jade is green and white jade, delicate luster, round carving a evil beast, vivid shape, exquisite craftsmanship, the meaning of the evil beast does not need to say, I believe that the guests here all know that this green and white jade to ward off evil spirits, buy back whether it is placed on the desk or at home has an excellent meaning, the starting price is 20,000 yuan, the yellow card increases by 1,000 each time, the red card increases the price by 5,000 each time, and the bidding begins below. ”
Seeing this green and white jade in the auctioneer's hand to ward off evil spirits, Qin Yu's eyes flashed with a heart-warming light, the evil beast is one of the top ten feng shui ornaments, although this jade of the Han Dynasty is not a magic weapon, but it is still useful to use it in the town house, and the price is not expensive, Qin Yu pondered for a while and raised the yellow sign in his hand.
"Okay, guest No. 88 bid 20,000. ”
"Guest No. 63 bid 22,000. ”
"Qin Yu, what's the matter? What kind of jade do you dare to be interested in this evil spirit-warding jade?" Mo Yongxing saw Qin Yu holding up the sign, and looked at Qin Yu in some surprise.
"This thing is a good object in the eyes of our feng shui masters, and the price is not expensive, so you can take pictures of it. Qin Yu explained, and held up the yellow sign again.
"Okay, before the No. 88 guest increased the price, now it is 31,000 yuan. ”
At the moment when Qin Yu and Mo Yongxing explained, several more people made bids.
"Hold up the red sign, I estimate that you will have to be close to 50,000 yuan to get this jade. After Mo Yongxing saw that someone was bidding again, he gave Qin Yu a suggestion.
"The No. 88 guest bid 38,000, okay, now the price increase must not be less than 5,000 each time, is there anything higher than 38,000. ”
"Hurry up and drop the hammer. ”
Qin Yu glanced at the auctioneer, the first time he conducted an auction to shout the price, it would be fake to say that he was not nervous, although tens of thousands of yuan was nothing to him now, but when he heard the auctioneer repeatedly ask if there was a price increase, he was also very tired in his heart.
"Congratulations to the No. 88 guest, for obtaining this Han Dynasty blue and white jade to ward off evil spirits. (To be continued......)
