After the financial crisis this year, more and more domestic entrepreneurs began to enter the field of collection, Wenzhou consortium, private enterprise bosses, financial predators, real estate businessmen, and repeatedly became the "high-end players" of various auctions.

And Huang Zhongjun, an entertainment tycoon who is the chairman of Huayi, has long been a veteran driver in the collecting industry.

Even when Boss Ma saw it, he had to call Liu Chuanzhi, the president of Liu, and he once asked Huang Zhongjun for the knowledge of collecting.

On the way to the auction by car, Huang Zhongjun answered a phone call and told his friend about his idea of buying a painting, and the friend also expressed interest and joked to him: "After the auction, it will be hung in our house for a year." ”

Huang Zhongjun couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Haha, you think beautifully, Master Van Gogh's works, which can be photographed casually, to tell you the truth, I don't have much confidence in coming this time, the key is to focus on participation." ”

“……”

"Okay, okay, that's the way first, see you later. ”

After a few words of greeting with the friend on the other end of the phone, Huang Zhongjun hung up the phone with a smile.

Lin Xiaoguang asked curiously, "Big brother, who is it?"

Looking at Lin Xiaoguang's expectant look, Huang Zhongjun said angrily and funny: "Xiaoguang, it shouldn't be, you have been sitting in other people's cars for so long, why do you still have such doubts?"

Lin Xiaoguang smiled embarrassedly: "Big brother, I thought that the owner of this car was Boss Ma at first, but I looked at the license plate number of this car, and I didn't think it was like it." ”

Huang Zhongjun quipped: "The more such a license plate number, the more it seems that Ma Yun is low-key, who stipulates that the big guy must have a high-profile license plate number?"

Lin Xiaoguang nodded knowingly: "Also, no matter what Boss Ma's license plate number is, he can't hide his own status." ”

Thinking about it, the average rich man likes to use the license plate number to show his identity and status, but Boss Ma is China's super rich, not an ordinary rich man, he has such a Maybach 62S, but the license plate number is not so conspicuous, it can really be described in one sentence: high-end atmosphere on the grade, low-key luxury has connotation.

The scene of the Hangzhou auction was in the top floor conference room of the Hangzhou Crown Hotel, the scene was splendid, the scene was grand, and many celebrities and business owners had already begun to line up to enter.

When Lin Xiaoguang and Huang Zhongjun came out of the elevator one after the other, the welcome lady asked with a smile, "Is it Huang Dong?"

Huang Zhongjun nodded, and Miss Welcome also recognized Lin Xiaoguang, so she said, "This Mr. Lin Xiaoguang, is he also here with Huang Dong?"

Huang Zhongjun nodded again.

The young lady said, "Huang Dong, Mr. Lin, please come with me and take a seat in the VIP room." ”

It feels really good to be treated as a guest, Lin Xiaoguang thought to himself, it seems that Huang Zhongjun's face is still quite big, he should be a frequent visitor here, maybe he is familiar with the boss here, otherwise where would he have such good treatment.

Subsequently, Huang Zhongjun asked Miss Yingbin to go to the conference preparation office for him to hand over copies of his and Lin Xiaoguang's ID cards and a certain amount of security deposit.

In fact, it is normal to pay such a deposit, because an industry is concerned by more and more people, and it will soon develop and soon become chaotic.

What's more, there have been many economic disputes in recent years, and in most cases, banks have been asked to deal with them through auctions when banks clean up non-performing assets and state-owned enterprises are restructured.

The auction house can receive up to 5% from the buyer and the seller.

Think about it, take a look, in addition to auctions, what other legitimate business does not require any capital, but can make you tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions at once?

Therefore, in order to avoid people fishing in troubled waters, and to conduct auction activities in a more standardized and safe manner, the auction organizer stipulates that every buyer entering the auction must pay a certain amount of deposit.

Although Huang Zhongjun is not the owner of the auction, he is in it, and of course he knows that it is not so simple to run an auction company.

However, because the normal operating cost is relatively low and the output is considerable, the temptation to people is still very large, and it is easy to have big risks.

When the welcome lady returned, she got two number plates in her hand.

Like Huang Zhongjun, Lin Xiaoguang also has a number plate in his hand.

Before the auction began, Lin Xiaoguang and Huang Zhongjun, who have always been low-key, sat in the last row.

The first time to participate in such a tall auction, Lin Xiaoguang was a little excited in his heart, although he did not plan to participate in the auction, but it was very exciting to compete with so many bigwigs on the same stage.

The scene was orderly.

Then, the lights around the auction room slowly dimmed, and a bright light was projected from the ceiling of the auction room, illuminating the auction table clearly.

A six-meter-long, three-meter-high screen appeared on the wall behind the auctioneer.

It can display the image and attributes of the auction item, and can show the situation when everyone is bidding, even if people are sitting at the back of the hall, they can carefully see the situation of the auction item.

The auctioneer looked around with a smile for a moment, then struck the auction table with a hammer, and with a bang, the auction officially began.

Now let's look at the first lot: "The phoenix crown customized by Emperor Kangxi for the empress has appeared." ”

When the host asked the staff to hold out the queen's phoenix crown, it immediately detonated the boos of the audience.

Undoubtedly, this is a beautiful luxury, graceful and luxurious, decorated with green dragons and nine golden phoenixes, a dragon in the middle of a large pearl, a green cover, drooping beads, and the rest of the mouth title pearls, showing the royal style, noble, atmosphere.

After hundreds of years of changes, it is still golden and eye-catching.

After the host's introduction, he said with emotion: "If any gentleman auctions this phoenix crown, our auction organizing committee will also have a bottle of French wine that has been treasured for a hundred years as a gift." ”

Lin Xiaoguang saw that the phoenix crown was so exquisite, and he also began to be moved.

Although her daughter Lin Jinyu is more than a year old, Lin Xiaoguang always feels that she still owes Li Xiaoran a wedding.

If Li Xiaoran could let Li Xiaoran wear it to marry him on the day he married him, he would definitely be amazed and peerless.

Lin Xiaoguang estimated in his heart that if the price was within two million, he was willing to pay for it.

But if the price exceeds 2 million, Lin Xiaoguang doesn't want to mess with it anymore.

It's not that Lin Xiaoguang has no money to continue bidding, but he really feels distressed, after all, he has never considered making money by investing in art.

Seeing Lin Xiaoguang's eager look, Huang Zhongjun patted him on the shoulder and quipped, "Xiaoguang, which beauty do you want to take a picture of?"

Lin Xiaoguang smiled awkwardly: "I don't know yet, I'll talk about it when I get it." ”

Huang Zhongjun cheered Lin Xiaoguang and said: "Xiaoguang, big brother will give you a word, it is difficult to buy a good heart if you have money, if you really like it, you can shoot it at will, I will help you, according to my prediction, the transaction price of this phoenix crown should not exceed 10 million." ”

Lin Xiaoguang said calmly: "Big brother, don't talk about 10 million, as long as this phoenix crown exceeds 2 million, I don't plan to play." ”

Subsequently, the host quoted: "The reserve price of this phoenix crown is 500,000 yuan." ”

As soon as the offer came out, Lin Xiaoguang was immediately dumbfounded, the reserve price was 500,000, and if there was any more competition, it would be difficult to win one or two million.

The auctioneer began to shout: "Is there any bidding? Our collection is the best, it has been identified by the authoritative appraisal experts of the museum, it is genuine, and there is a genuine guarantee signed by eight well-known domestic experts, which is extremely suitable for giving to the girl you like as an engagement gift, so a sign is 100,000 yuan." ”

Immediately, a socialite held up a number plate.

The host shouted: "That gentleman has already bid 600,000, and there is no higher than 600,000?"

As soon as the host's voice fell, a young talent raised the number plate and bid 700,000.

Lin Xiaoguang's heart immediately sank, it seems that if this trend continues, there will definitely be no four or five million.

As for the Van Gogh painting favored by Huang Zhongjun, let alone four or five million, it is estimated that one hundred million may not be able to be taken.

Just when Lin Xiaoguang was hesitating, another business owner bid 800,000 yuan.

A chubby lady stood up and shouted, "I'm bidding 1 million!"

There was an immediate burst of boos from the audience.

Lin Xiaoguang decided that he couldn't bear it, he thought to himself, even if he couldn't shoot it, at least he had to enjoy it.

So, Lin Xiaoguang took a deep breath, took a breath, and then pretended to smile calmly, raised the number plate in his hand and said, "I'll bid two million!"
