Chapter 46 High Price Transaction
Cheng Qiheng and others were very shocked that the finale lot was actually a fake, and at first they even thought that Meng Zitao had made a mistake. However, based on Meng Zitao's consistent cautious performance in front of everyone, since he said so, he must have found some clues.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't wait to ask Meng Zitao what was wrong with this Wen Wang Ding. It's just that considering that the current environment is not suitable, I pressed it down.
At this time, the auctioneer saw that no one came to the stage to appraise it, so he said: "I think everyone has seen the performance of this lot, and the auction will be held without a reserve price below, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan each time, and the auction will start now!"
"1 million!" was silent for a while, and someone immediately quoted the price, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a million.
"1.01 million, I said Lao Cao, can you not be so ruthless in your offer, it will be one million as soon as it comes up, and you want to scare people to death!"
"1.1 million! Lao Zhou, don't come out and be embarrassed if you don't have money, is 1 million expensive for such a baby?"
This person is right, judging from the auction records that began in the eighties of the last century, it is not uncommon to see all kinds of tripods made by cloisonne technology during the Qianlong period, and the prices are also low and high, but as long as the height is more than 50 centimeters, the final transaction price is not cheap.
It is said that in 06 years, Xiangjiang Fubi once auctioned a Qing Qianlong copper tire cloisonné enamel (cloisonne) back pattern three-legged cover tripod, the transaction price was as high as more than 7 million, and the height of the tripod was only 65.5 cm.
From this, even if the price of the lot is lower than that of the antique market in this auction now, the transaction price of this cloisonne Wenwangding is conservatively estimated to be more than 7 million.
But then again, the new 100 yuan banknote is 1.15 grams each, and 7 million will cost more than 80 kilograms, and many people did not know in advance that such a heavy weapon would appear here, and no one must have brought so much cash. In that case, who can buy this lot?
Of course, the solution is thought up by people, and if one person does not have enough money, then borrow it, or two or several people buy it in partnership, and many people here know each other, and this is still very easy to do. Moreover, before the auction just now, several people had already discussed it.
The price is rising, and soon, it will be over 3 million, and at this time, there are many fewer voices shouting prices, only three or four.
However, Meng Zitao also found that some heavyweights have not yet made offers, such as the previous billionaire and Ding Zhiguo. I don't know if they think it's time yet, or if they also see something wrong with this lot.
"3.1 million!"
"3.18 million!"
"3.22 million!"
"3.25 million!"
The price rises alternately, and the two who shouted the price are still the two at the beginning, but the range of their price increase is not high, and it is estimated that this price is about to reach the bottom line in their hearts.
"4 million!" Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a big belly directly raised the price to 4 million.
Seeing this, Meng Zitao and Cheng Qiheng glanced at each other, and both showed meaningful smiles on their faces. Because this person who seems to be a big boss is actually asked by the organizers.
This point, not to mention Mencius Tao and them, the auction has reached now, and the basic people present have seen it.
Speaking of which, this phenomenon is indeed somewhat hateful, and if you do too much, it will also affect the credibility of the auction.
However, businessmen are all profit-seeking, as the famous saying goes, if there is a profit of 50 percent, they will take risks, if they have a profit of 100 percent, they will violate all kinds of laws, and if they have a profit of 300 percent, they will even risk being hanged.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for this kind of thing to be trusted, not to mention here, even in a formal auction venue. Therefore, as long as it is not excessive, everyone is out of sight.
Seeing that the auction asked for Tuo suddenly raised the price to four million, the two who shouted the price turned their heads and glared, but they actually knew in their hearts that this thing was not high to say four million, not to mention five million.
Some people may have said, since this is the case, why should the two of them fight so much? First, everyone has a fluke mentality, and on the other hand, the main thing is that there is some grudge between the two of them, and they will be fighting each other. As a result, they fought for a long time, but no one won anyone, do you think they can not be angry?
The performance of the two made everyone think it was funny, but immediately, everyone began to get serious. There are very few people who can raise 4 million on the spot, and it can be said that 4 million is a watershed.
For a while, everyone fell silent, and everyone didn't open their mouths to make an offer, which made cold sweat begin to break out on the forehead of the auctioner, thinking to himself, won't the last thing be smashed in his hands.
The auctioneer said: "Mr. Zhang bid 4 million! This is the cloisonne Wenwang Ding made by the Qianlong Palace Office, the production process is exquisite, it can be called the representative work of cloisonne in the Qianlong period, and the shape of the vessel is so huge, it is even rare! I missed this time, and I don't know when I want to meet it again!"
Speaking of which, he looked around and continued, "Four million once...... 4,000,000 twice...... 4”
"5 million!" The rich man from before finally spoke, and one plus is one million, and his courage is amazing.
Seeing that someone finally made an offer, the auctioneer and Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, it was too exciting just now, their hearts were still beating at the moment, and their emotions couldn't calm down for a while.
With the offer of the rich man, the auction is on the right track again, and the shouts come and go, but the bidders are very cautious every time they open their mouths, and they also observe the expressions of their competitors from time to time, wanting to see something from them.
At this point, it is much more advantageous for those who sit in the front, because as soon as they turn around, they can see the expressions of the people behind them. It's just that the seats in front of them can only be sat by big customers, and Meng Zitao can't sit even if they want to, as for Zhang Jingqiang, although he also has that qualification, he came too late.
Over time, the price broke through six million, and at this time, Zhu Dachang began to quote for the first time:
"6.28 million!"
"Can you swipe the card later?" said someone in the front row.
The auctioneer smiled and shook his head, indicating no.
Wang Menghan said: "It's really brainless, you can't make any money." ”
Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "There are rules, since this is the kind of rule formulated here, of course it can't be easily broken, otherwise if there is the first time, there will be two and three, and the rules will be broken in this way." Besides, it is somewhat dangerous for them to do this kind of business, and they make a lot of money, but it is not in vain that they don't have the life to spend it. It's normal to be careful. ”
While Cheng Qiheng was speaking, Zhu Dachang and the rich man shouted one after another, and soon reached 6.5 million.
"6.8 million!"
Zhu Dachang spoke again, he looked at the corner of the rich man's mouth twitched, it seems that this price should be about to reach the limit of the cash in the rich man's hands.
This made him very proud in his heart, thinking, fortunately he had a reliable insider, and told himself in advance that there would be such a heavy weapon today, otherwise how could he bring so much money over?
"7 million!"
When Zhu Dachang thought that this treasure was about to be included in his bag, the sudden offer made him choke, and when he looked at the voice, it was Zhang Jingqiang, which made him very angry.
He was bound to get this thing, and he was well prepared, and he had just talked to a few acquaintances about borrowing money, and he believed that no one on the scene had more cash than him. In this case, Zhang Jingqiang's joining is equivalent to cutting his flesh, which makes him resentful of Zhang Jingqiang in his heart.
"7.1 million!"
"7.8 million!"
Zhang Jingqiang's mind Meng Zitao guessed, but the price increase was so ruthless that he couldn't help but sweat in his hands, in case Zhu Dachang didn't have enough money, or didn't follow, it would be a big trouble.
"7.85 million!" Zhu Dachang's face was gloomy, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"8 million!" Zhang Jingqiang's face was as pale as ever, as if what he said was not money.
Seeing that after a moment of effort, the price actually doubled, and the auctioneer was happy in his heart, and when he saw Zhu Dachang groaning, he began to report the number again.
At this time, Zhang Jingqiang was still calm, but Meng Zitao was a little calm, looking at Zhang Jingqiang's expression, he smiled bitterly in his heart, this may be called the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, he is still too tender in this regard.
Just as the auctioneer shouted "twice", Zhu Dachang turned his head, looked at Zhang Jingqiang and said: "8.5 million, if Mr. Zhang is higher than this price, then this thing will be given to you!"
Zhang Jingqiang smiled and said: "Since Mr. Zhu is so inevitable, then I will carry forward my style." ”
Zhu Dachang snorted coldly, turned his head back, and roared in his heart: "you Made, why didn't you know to carry forward the style just now!"
The auctioneer didn't expect that it would rise by another 500,000 yuan, and his heart blossomed, this is all his performance! Then, he looked around and found that no one had raised the price anymore, so he reported the number of times according to the regulations and announced the transaction.
Seeing that Zhu Dachang actually photographed Wen Wangding at a price of 8.5 million, Meng Zitao was also happy in his heart, although he and Zhu Dachang had no grudges, but as long as it could make Xue Wenguang unlucky, he was very happy to see it. Besides, Zhu Dachang also supported Xue Wenguang's price increase just now, and now he is even happier with this ending.
With the sale of the finale lot, the auction also ended, Meng Zitao and the others stood up, took the things they had just auctioned, and walked towards the door with a smile, during which they also greeted acquaintances.
Because Meng Zitao had been in the limelight because of the pen holder before, he also gained a lot of business cards, which is also because he is relatively young, and now he can have such a level, so in a few years, he is likely to become an expert. Therefore, everyone is happy to get married now.
