Chapter 331: Special Hobbies! (Alliance Leader 4/6)
The main venue of the auction was located in a certain palace in Jieji Palace, and when Su Yiyang and the three of them entered the venue, the scene was basically full.
After presenting the invitation letter, the waiter at the scene will lead the three people to the designated seats on the invitation letter and sit down. The location is not very front, nor particularly back, it belongs to the middle position.
Although they are all well-known stars in China, in a foreign country, their fame is far from being as good as that in China, and they can sit in the middle position, which is probably due to He Zhengxiang's relationship.
The area of the venue is very large, and the seating at the site is roughly estimated, and it can accommodate about two or three hundred people. Each seat is not too close to each other, the distance between the front and back is moderate, and the seats are very comfortable.
At eight o'clock, the auction officially began.
The lights on the scene changed, the lights under the stage were dimmed, the lights on the auction table were brighter, and the originally slightly noisy sounds in the venue gradually quieted down.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked briskly to the auction table. The middle-aged man was a blonde and blue-eyed white man, standing on the auction table, facing many upper-class people below, he did not look timid at all, and his aura was very full.
"Hello everyone, I am Richards, Chief Auctioneer of Christie's Auction House, and I am honored to be the auctioneer of this auction, which is jointly organized by the Thai Royal Family and Christie's, and now I announce that this auction has officially begun!"
Richards, the auctioneer, spoke standard English in a loud voice, and his aura was full of power, exuding a strong sense of confidence.
When the auction began, many people around opened their seatside pockets, took out the headphones in their pockets, and put them on their ears. Many of the guests came from all over the world, and many did not understand English.
The headphones can be FM, and there are people on site doing simultaneous interpretation, Chinese, Thai, Russian, French and other mainstream languages in the world to ensure that all guests have no barriers in language communication.
Fang Hanyu and Wu Jin, who were on the left and right sides of Su Yiyang, had already put on the headphones, Su Yiyang did not wear the headphones, because his English level was not bad, not very good, but it was still very easy to understand Richards' words.
"Now for the first collection, three bottles of 1968 wine from Potus Winery, starting at $100,000!"
With Richards' voice, the bottom of the auction table slowly cracked, and a glass cover rose from under the table, and three well-preserved bottles of wine were placed in the glass cover, which looked particularly noble under the light.
At the same time, a projection suddenly appeared behind Richards, with an introduction to the Potus winery, which was extremely detailed.
Château Bertus is one of the oldest and most famous wineries in France, with a very long history, and its red wines have always been the guests of major auctions and are loved by many wine lovers.
Despite this, Su Yiyang was still a little shocked when he heard Charlize say that the starting price of three bottles of wine was $100,000.
Three bottles of wine, the starting price is 100,000 US dollars, which is converted into Chinese dollars, that is, 600,000 Chinese dollars, which is equivalent to 200,000 Chinese dollars for a bottle of wine.
Just when Su Yiyang was secretly smacking his tongue, the first group of collections had already begun to be auctioned in full swing.
"150,000 dollars!"
"170,000 dollars!"
"180,000 dollars!"
……
The bidding was first dense and then scarce, and finally this group of red wine treasures from Petus Winery was successfully acquired by a wealthy British man for 220,000 US dollars.
The successful bidding of the first group of items made a good start to the auction, and the next group of collections were pushed up one after another, and the starting price was gradually increasing.
Chinese ceramic calligraphy and painting, Western oil painting and sculpture, Thai jadeite gemstones, and precious luxury goods are the main forces of the auction.
The atmosphere is getting higher and higher, and almost every collection has exceeded one million Chinese dollars, and now it is marching towards ten million Chinese dollars.
"Six hundred and seventy thousand dollars!"
……
"Seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars!"
……
Su Yiyang looked at Fang Hanyu, who was frequently bidding on the left, with some surprise on his face, and asked Wu Jin on the right: "Brother Yu likes antique calligraphy and painting?
Wu Jin smiled and said: "You guessed well, Brother Yu usually likes to collect some antique calligraphy and paintings, or he likes to tease birds, one day you have the opportunity to go to Brother Yu's house, you will know, Brother Yu's house has a special collection room, all of which are the collections accumulated by Brother Yu over the years, many of which are difficult to find." ”
"Haha, Brother Yu's hobby is good, Brother Yu's children will be happy in the future, these antique calligraphy and paintings will only become more and more expensive in the future, it is not only an opportunity for investment, but also to satisfy his hobby, killing two birds with one stone!" Su Yiyang said with a smile.
Compared with Fang Hanyu, Su Yiyang and Wu Jin did not participate in the auction, not that they couldn't afford to shoot, but they really didn't have anything to shoot, and they didn't have the slightest interest in those precious calligraphy and painting antiques.
"$800,000!"
"Okay, the Chinese friend on this side paid $800,000, is there a higher bid?"
Charlize used a highly inflammatory voice and actively worked hard to mobilize the nature of the guests.
The calligraphy and paintings now auctioned are the works of Liu Chuanyuan, a famous landscape painter in the Tang Dynasty of China, Liu Chuanyuan's works that are still alive today are very rare, and such a complete work preserved on the table is even more rare, which can be described as extremely precious, otherwise it would not have climbed to such a high price.
Now there is only one person competing with Fang Hanyu in the audience, a collector from Japan, and in the face of Charlize's incitement, he bows his head and ponders, as if considering whether the current price is worth it.
After a few seconds, he shook his head slightly, did not bid again, and gave up continuing to compete with Fang Hanyu for this calligraphy and painting.
Charlize saw this scene and knew it, quickly read the three numbers, and then swung the wooden hammer in his hand heavily, and the crisp sound reverberated throughout the auction room.
"Congratulations to this Mr. of Huaguo for successfully photographing the works of Liu Qingyuan, a famous landscape painter in the Tang Dynasty of Huaguo!"
The transaction price of 800,000 US dollars is converted into Chinese dollars, which is about 5 million Chinese dollars, which is already a very high price when those famous people in the past and today cannot write and paint.
There was a sparse applause at the scene, symbolically congratulating the successful bidding of the collection.
Fang Hanyu, who won the auction, looked extremely excited with a red face.
"Congratulations, Brother Yu!"
"Brother Yu, please eat another day!"
Su Yiyang and Wu Jin smiled and said hello to each other.
"Hahaha, it's easy to say, what do you want to eat, don't change the day, when the auction is over, let's go directly!" Fang Hanyu waved his hand, very interested.
Seeing Fang Hanyu's appearance, Su Yiyang and Wu Jin were immediately happy.
Well, the supper has arrived!
