The auctioneer or registered auctioneer is the title of the host of the main hammer auction. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A good quality auctioneer, after the optimal combination of the items to be auctioned, can determine the best bidding route, coupled with the noise of the atmosphere of the scene, they often make the bidding achieve unexpected results.
In fact, the auctioneer you see presiding over the bidding at the auction is only the final stage of the entire auction process, and in fact, the auctioneer's work is much more than that.
First of all, the auctioneer should participate in the collection of the object, the signing of the entrustment contract, and at the same time have a detailed understanding of the situation of the lot, so that he can know in his heart, and when presiding over the bidding, the buyers can fully understand the lot, and at the same time with the monk. Next, the auctioneer has to participate in the investment promotion, which is one of the more complex tasks in the auction process. Usually, the auction company distributes information through various channels such as media announcements, and the more buyers the better, but the more "right" the better.
Therefore, a good auctioneer should have a good grasp of the lots, and before entering the auction, he should be able to predict which lots will be sought after, be able to roughly estimate the maximum value of each lot, and even know who the potential buyers of each lot will be.
The income of an auctioneer depends mainly on the auction house he or she serves. Of course, the auctioneer's income is also related to his own reputation, so the auctioneer will often increase his value through multiple successful live auctions to attract the attention of auction customers.
In China, the highest income of an auctioneer is about 10,000 yuan, and the income of a general auctioneer is between 40,000 and 70,000 yuan.
There are also some well-known auctioneers who are not fixed in which auction house, but are free to preside over some top auctions.
And Jefferson is a top auctioneer in the international auction industry, when the average auctioneer can only get 8,000 euros per auction to make ends meet, Jefferson has to extract a large commission from the auction house, of course, this is also inseparable from his excellent auction skills.
The highest honor in the profession of auctioneer is to receive the "white glove", and being awarded the white glove is the highest honor of the auctioneer, which marks the 1oo% sell-through rate of an auction special.
White gloves represent a high level of recognition of you, so if you get "white gloves". Identity is like the Owiska Movie Emperor in the auction industry, at that time, your income will be very objective.
Jefferson is the winner of the three-time white glove, and in today's international auction world, no one can beat it, so the auction organizers specially invited Jefferson to preside over the auction when the transaction volume was very low yesterday.
Yesterday's auction was a very failure, 6 of the 24 items were unauctioned, and the remaining 18 were also auctioned off by some owners themselves or entrusted by the auctioneer.
"Chinese art occupies an important position in the international art market, and its value has appreciated rapidly in recent years, if I didn't have money in my pocket, I would definitely sit in the audience today and grab business with Mr. and Mrs. Rear-end ......."
Jefferson is worthy of being the world's top auctioneer, after the opening, he did not rush into the topic, but stood on the stage and chatted, humorous words caused the audience to laugh from time to time, and the tense atmosphere before the auction was suddenly diluted a lot.
"Okay, friends must have been waiting for a while, you must be scolding me in your heart for delaying everyone's time, let's enter this special auction of Chinese art!"
Jefferson's words suddenly changed and drew everyone's attention to the auction room, and the first lot of the day, also by a white-gloved staff, was taken to the table in front of the auction table, from the old rosewood shaft rod and the yellowed rolled paper, everyone could tell that it was an ancient painting.
"Our first lot today is an oil painting, the work of Lang Shining, a Chinese court painter from 300 years ago, from the Frey family's collection.
This is a portrait of an imperial concubine in ancient China, which combines the femininity and grace of oriental women, and it is "Bust of Chunhui Guifei".
After the appraisal of many experts in France and China, it is indeed made by Lang Shining, there is no falsehood, and it is also one of the three works of Lang Shining that can be proved by the world!"
Jefferson's words caused a commotion in the venue, and those who came to the auction did not expect that Jefferson would actually take out the lot that was originally arranged in fifth place in advance, which made those who wanted to take the painting feel a little unprepared.
In a general auction, color pages are made to promote the lot and the auction order, and many buyers pay attention to the lot they want based on these color pages, but Jefferson broke the convention and confused the order, which made some people interested in the painting immediately nervous.
"I heard that Emperor Qianlong did not allow anyone to watch this picture of the concubine after he painted it, and he only saw it three times in his life.
This oil painting of the ancient emperor's concubine, the starting price is 1o thousand euros, and the price increase is 20,000 euros each time, maybe you only need to bid once, you can have the rights that the emperor can enjoy, and you can take this concubine picture into your private pocket......"
It seems that Jefferson put a lot of effort into this painting, turning out the past of Emperor Qianlong, with a strong incitement in his words, and everyone in the audience whispered about it.
Jefferson was very satisfied with this effect, the reason why he asked this painting to be auctioned in advance was to consider the Chinese's fanatical pursuit of ancient emperor supplies, although this is only a portrait, but it can't stand the painting of the emperor's woman, maybe some people with special hobbies, just like to paint yy?
"Okay, now the auction starts, 1o million euros, the starting price is 1o million euros, if any friend is interested, please bid ......"
In Jefferson's words, the second day of the special auction of Chinese art in Paris officially began.
Like the first day, for nearly a minute after Jefferson shouted the price, it was cold, and no one took the lead in bidding, and the Chinese who could come to participate in the auction were all extremely intelligent, and after being reminded by Huangfuyun, they became much more sensible.
Seeing this scene, Jefferson still had a smile on his face, but the little finger of his left hand, invisibly tilted upward, just fell into the eyes of a white man sitting in the front row of the auction hall.
"I'll pay 1o million euros ......"
When the white man saw Jefferson's prompt, he immediately raised the number plate in his hand.
"Okay, Mr. 12 bid 1o million euros, oh, I didn't expect the charm of Chinese art to be so great, this should be a friend of the British, and he loves Chinese art so much.
There are still many bids for today, and if there are none, then I would like to congratulate this English friend, you will get the concubine of the Emperor of China, well, for the first time......"
As Jefferson spoke, he actually cocked the hammer once, and the three hammers were settled, no one thought that Jefferson would not look at the reaction of the audience, so he would hit the hammer so rashly.
Jefferson said that in the eyes of everyone, it is very different from other auctions, which are deliberately extending the auction time of a work indefinitely in order to fetch a higher price, but Jefferson is the opposite, he seems to be in a hurry to carry out the following auction, leaving not a lot of time for everyone.
And Jefferson's last sentence seems to have omitted the fact that this is a painting, intentionally or unintentionally, and directly shouted that if you shoot this work, you will get the emperor's concubine, which made the Chinese in the audience also a little excited.
"120,000 euros, I'll pay 120,000 euros......"
Looking at Jefferson's wielding hammer, it seemed that it was about to fall for the second time, and someone in the audience finally made an offer, although it was only 20,000 yuan, but it made Jefferson, who was calm on the stage, almost mentioned the heart of his throat, and finally fell back.
"I think it's really great to be able to buy a work by Lang Shining more than 300 years ago for 120,000 euros, and do you have any friends to bid?"
Jefferson reminded everyone in the audience that the price of this painting is far more than 120,000 euros, although everyone knows his intentions, but their hearts are ready to move, and even Zhuang Rui has a ** to raise a card.
You must know that there are very few authentic works of Lang Shining, and before this one, there were only two works, which were collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Dolle Art Museum in France.
And the price of Lang Shining's works should be between 1ooo and 2ooo million, 120,000 euros, but about 120,000 RMB, in the eyes of everyone, it is really the price of cabbage.
"140,000 euros!"
A young man sitting in the front row of Zhuang Rui held up a sign, but his price increase was not high, and he still restrained himself.
"€160,000 ......"
"€180,000 ......"
"I'll pay 220,000 euros ......"
"280,000, I'll pay 280,000 euros......"
With a person's price increase, the Chinese's crowd psychology finally broke out, in the first two offers, only 20,000 euros were added, but in the back, it was 40,000 and 80,000 upward prices.
"280,000, buyer 21 bid 280,000, oh, this price is outdated, buyer 78 bid 360,000, the current price is 360,000, who else is bidding?"
Jefferson felt that the situation was under his control, and stood on the stage with ease, although he didn't talk as much as he had just now, but the price of this lot kept rising.
