Chapter Ninety-Seven: Selling for a High Price

After the staff showed the costumes, Du Chengyu knocked on the auction hammer and introduced: "Although this cultural relic is a coarse cotton coat of the Qing Dynasty, it perfectly reproduces the life of ordinary people in the Qing Dynasty." Purely hand-sewn, every stitch and thread can reflect the hard work of working people. This cultural relic is well preserved and in excellent condition, and it is a rare treasure house of civilian cultural knowledge in the Qing Dynasty. The starting price is 5,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 500 yuan each time, and the bidding starts now. ”

One of the auctioneers held up a number plate.

"Okay, 5500, is there anyone else bidding?" Du Chengyu pointed at the person holding the number plate with his hand and continued to ask.

"Okay, this gentleman here has a number plate, 6000. ”

"Okay, this No. 351 plate has increased the price again, 6500. ”

。。。

"Well, the No. 287 plate finally added another price of 168,000. There is no friend who is higher than this gentleman?" Du Chengyu glanced at the bidders in the audience with an auction hammer, "168,000 times, is there any price increase?"

"168,000 twice. There is no more price increase, and this Qing Dynasty coarse cloth cotton coat is owned by this bidder with No. 287 plate?"

"168,003 times. The auction hammer was heavily knocked on the chassis by Du Chengyu, and there was a muffled sound.

"Deal. Congratulations to Mr. Zhang, a private collector of No. 287, for bidding for this Qing Dynasty female civilian coarse cotton coat. Please ask this Mr. Zhang to go to the staff to complete the rest of the procedures after the bidding. ”

"Let's continue to bid for the tenth collection, which is a cold jade bracelet... ”

Zhuo Feng sat in the audience and was stunned, he couldn't imagine that such an inconspicuous Qing Dynasty coarse cloth cotton coat could be auctioned for such a high price of 160,000 yuan, and the superb concubine dress in the back of the line didn't have to be auctioned at a more ungodly high price?

I can't believe that the world has reached such a high level of pursuit of these antiques.

Fortunately, he is not a person who moves for money, otherwise the two vases that he donated to the city museum can casually make himself a multimillionaire, a billionaire.

Hehe, it's good that I donated it, otherwise I would have to cause a lot of trouble for myself.

Zhuo Feng bowed his head and was silent.

The two also occasionally participated in the bidding process, although they did not find any collections, but they also felt the enthusiasm of these people.

When they slowly photographed the album of Master Qi Baishi, the six of them competed fiercely, and they won 16.5 million at once, and the price was increased by 100,000 yuan every time they raised the number plate.

These 6 people who hold the number plate, you don't let me, I won't lose you, and they raise their cards one after another.

The album soared to 22 million.

At this time, three more people have already withdrawn, and there are still No. 7 plates, No. 13 plates, and No. 399 plates still competing.

Du Chengyu was not idle, praising Master Qi Baishi's works while praising the competitors for their vision, and also cited that similar works of Master Qi Baishi were sold at a higher value in other auctions.

Number 399 raised the number plate again.

The No. 7 plate was directly raised three times, and the price rose to 22.5 million at once, and the bidder of No. 399 gave up.

"Master Qi Baishi's works are about to be auctioned to a new level. 22.5 million for the first time, are there any friends who want to increase the price?"

Du Chengyu looked around.

"22.5 million for the second time, and more. The No. 13 friend here is holding up the number plate again, not bad. 23 million for the first time. ”

The number 13 raised five times in a row.

This time, the audience fell silent. Everyone looked at the number 13 plate. A beauty.

"This No. 13 beauty has pushed the master's album to 23 million, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"

"23 million for the first time ... 23 million for the second time... Du Chengyu waited for another minute, and saw that no one came to compete for this album, so the auction gavel rang, "23 million for the third time, sold." Congratulations to the No. 13 client from Ms. Cheng in Hong Kong. After the auction, please come to our staff to complete the final formalities. ”

Wow, what an eye-opener.

Zhuo Feng participated in the auction for the first time, and it was the first time to see this kind of master-level album being auctioned at such a high price, which was quite shocking.

And Chen Xiaoyan is more stable, after all, she is the daughter of the president of a large group and the assistant to the president, and she has seen the world.

Chen Xiaoyan was silent, just secretly observing Zhuo Feng's series of expressions on the side, and saw that Zhuo Feng was nervous, excited, and incredible, which was very interesting.

After another auction like this for a while, Zhuo Feng's second ancient costume was about to arrive.

As soon as the picture on the big screen switched, it showed that Zhuo Feng collected the concubine of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

The ancient costume that was taken into a photo is more elegant and charming, every stitch is more delicate, the embroidery on it is more incomparable, and the patterns on it are scattered, making people forget to return.

"Okay, the next thing we are going to auction is the regular dress of the concubine during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the workmanship is perfect, and it can be seen that every embroidery is carefully needled out by the embroidery girls of the harem. The large inlaid and rolled craft trim on the top is even more unusual, so there are higher requirements for cutting and sewing technology. The ornamentation is even more exquisite, and it can be seen that each embroidery flower will be priceless. ”

"Okay, now the auction for this collection numbered No. 32 has officially begun, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan and an additional price of 50,000 yuan each time. ”

As soon as Du Chengyu waved the auction hammer, Zhuo Feng's dress officially began to be auctioned.

After several rounds of competition, this ancient costume was auctioned at a high price of 3.2 million.

Zhuo Feng sat there nervously, Chen Xiaoyan saw this, and gently held Zhuo Feng's hand with his hand, and Zhuo Feng, who was still trembling just now, slowly quieted down, and his eyes were motionless as he watched the auctioneer's bids on the rostrum again and again.

"4.2 million for the first time, this cultural relic seems to be really in my words, a flower is worth a fortune. ”

The bidders in the audience burst into laughter.

The No. 13 plate of Master Qi Baishi's album that had been auctioned just now was raised again.

"Wow, this beauty is really extraordinary. 4.25 million. There are also friends who have no price increases. ”

As soon as No. 13, who had not participated in the competition, joined in, several more people raised their number plates.

“430,435,440,.... 530。 Ah, what a fierce auction. ”

Du Chengyu took a sip of tea and continued: "5.3 million, the first time, there is no price increase?"

Number 13 raised the number plate again.

At this point, No. 13 and No. 418 are left to compete.

Number 418 also held up the number plate.

The competition between the two here is fierce, and Zhuo Feng's heart is beating loudly over there, this is really more exciting than the result.

In the end, No. 418 also gave up, and the auction price was fixed at 5.65 million.

An ancient costume that was found out of the pile of messy clothes was auctioned for a shocking price of 5.65 million.

Zhuo Feng was a little dumbfounded.

didn't know that Chen Xiaoyan's hand had been holding his hand. The sweat of his palms soaked through the tissues in Chen Xiaoyan's palms.

"Congratulations again to the No. 13 Hong Kong Ms. Zheng entrusted to bid for this Qing Dynasty Kangxi concubine regular clothes, and asked this lady to go through the final closing procedures with our relevant staff after the auction. ”

A hammer of auction hammers, Du Chengyu said.

Zhuo Feng saw that his two ancient costumes had been auctioned off, and he couldn't calm down when he was excited, so he got up and walked to the bathroom.

Rinsing his face with the cold water from the sink, and then wiping the water droplets with a tissue, Zhuo Feng came out of the bathroom, thinking that Chen Xiaoyan was at the door, with a concerned face.

"What's the matter, it's okay, isn't it very nervous, it's exciting? Hehe, next time you encounter something like this, take a few deep breaths, and then spit it out hard, and it's fine. Hehehe. ”

You come and give me a few mouthfuls to try.

Zhuo Feng was a little surprised to see the girl so calm, but when he thought about what a big scene the girl was, what a big world he hadn't seen, he had gone abroad to study for four or five years, compared to his own frog at the bottom of the well, he was already very face-saving without laughing at himself.

The two antiquities were auctioned off, and Zhuo Feng didn't have the heart to stay in this auction venue anymore, but fortunately, there was a small celebration party on the edge of the venue, so he walked out of the venue, came to the bar, and drank a glass of champagne.

At this time, the auction was also coming to an end, a beautiful woman walked out of the venue, also came to the bar, asked the waiter to make a cocktail, put a small slice of lemon, took a sip, and turned back to Zhuo Feng and smiled mysteriously.

Zhuo Feng recognized this beauty as the No. 13 bidder who had just auctioned off his concubine's regular clothes.

This beauty just smiled mysteriously at Zhuo Feng, and then re-entered the venue, which made Zhuo Feng confused.

At this time, Chen Xiaoyan just came out of the venue and took in all the scenes just now.

"What is that person smiling at you?" Chen Xiaoyan stepped forward and asked.

"How do I know why she's smiling at me like that? Because I'm handsome?"

Zhuo Feng replied mischievously.

"Just you?" Chen Xiaoyan looked disdainful.

"Well, I was wrong. It's that I'm thinking too much. That person seemed to be the beautiful woman holding the No. 13 plate, and she took away my concubine dress, which attracted a lot of attention in the venue. Zhuo Feng bowed his head and apologized.

Chen Xiaoyan was about to say something, when the auction ended, and the auction master beckoned the waiter to serve everyone wine and celebrate the success of today's auction.

"Today's auction has come to a successful conclusion, and the total turnover of today's auction has exceeded 200 million yuan, so today is worth celebrating. Cheers!"

Du Chengyu excitedly raised his glass and invited everyone to raise a glass together.
