Chapter 34: Fierce Competition
Feng walked to Lin Muyu and Liu Yue's side, and he said with a smile: "The two beauties standing at the door are easy to cause traffic jams. ”
Lin Muyu said: "Tang Feng, you came just in time, we just wanted to find you." ”
Liu Yue said: "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk about it." ”
The four of them entered the hall of Zhu Ji Auction House together, and Liu Yue took the bidding card from the front desk staff and handed it to Tang Feng, and the number of the bidding card was 189. The numbering of the bidding cards is naturally arranged in the order of paying the auction deposit, and Tang Feng is one of the last few buyers to pay the auction deposit, so his number is very low, and it is not difficult to see from his number that there will be at least more than 150 buyers participating in this auction, because all the numbers are avoided.
Tang Feng looked at the bidding card in his hand, I am afraid that he will not have a chance to raise it tonight.
The auction was about to start, and he walked into the auction hall and sat in the infield bidding seat, Tang Feng had a serious problem after sitting down, and he sat in the middle of Lin Muyu and Liu Yue. Compared with Tang Feng's lack of thief, Liu Yue's performance was much more natural, she handed the folder in her hand to Tang Feng, and said, "The important customers are all on it, you can see for yourself." ”
Zhu Kee Auction House has a complete customer profile, including the family background of important customers, what kind of collections they have, what types of antiques they like, and what kind of auctions they have participated in publicly. Tang Feng asked Liu Yue, "If you give me these, your mother won't blame you, right?"
Liu Yue smiled and said, "These are all what my mother asked me to give you, don't forget, you are also our big customer, besides, these are not secrets, they can be found on the Internet." ”
"That's fine, thank you. After Tang Feng finished speaking, he began to look through the information, and of course the auction house would not disclose all the customer information, and their information was provided according to the lot. The theme of the first page is the market estimation of Zhang Daqian's antique landscape painting "Autumn Landscape Map" and the analysis of potential bidders.
The buyer who was sold as the number one bidder was not an individual but an enterprise, this is the Zhang Daqian Memorial Hall in Neijiang, SichuanNeijiang is Zhang Daqian's hometown, Tang Feng does not have the determination of Zhang Daqian Memorial Hall to participate in the bidding, he is only worried about their economic strength. The No. 2 and No. 3 bids are Dong Minquan and Ren Wangzu, respectively, and the Dong family and the Ren family both have the authentic works of Zhang Daqian, the Dong family has three, and the Ren family has two. For a large collector of this level, the more top-quality artworks the better, and while increasing the depth of the collection, they will also spare no effort to expand the breadth of the collection, and the Zhang Daqian Memorial Museum is the opposite, they all have money depends on their determination to bid.
After reading these. Tang Feng's heart was more or less lit with hope. If Dong Minquan and Ren Wangzu can spark a little. This "Autumn Landscape" is sure to fetch a high price. My luck is getting worse these days. It's time to bottom out.
Tang Feng is in the information here. The auction show over there has already begun. The quality of the first few paintings and calligraphy works can only be said to be generally cold in the market. The big customers are not interested. voluntarily withdrew from the competition. There is also no fierce competition among small customers. After a few rounds of lowest increase bidding, the hammer was hastily traded.
Finally, the wind and land "Autumn Landscape Map" appeared. The painting doesn't need to be rendered too much after the auctioneer has made a short introduction. said: "Lot No. 7 imitates Shi Tao's landscape painting "Autumn Landscape Map". Zhu Ji Auction House preserves the old and the fidelity with the painting, and comes with a local appraisal certificate issued by the national authoritative calligraphy and painting artwork appraisal unit. The reserve price is RMB 10,000. There is no minimum increase. Let's start shooting!"
It should be said. The floor price of this painting is positioned as a low land. Tang Feng predicts that the final transaction price of this painting should be more than 20 million. This is not a random prediction. Rather, it is a judgment made in combination with market conditions. The market price of domestic top calligraphy and painting works has been high. 20C5 year. At the spring auction of China Trade Shengjiadi. Ren Bonian's "Hua Zhu Sanduo Picture" was sold at a price of up to 10,000 yuan. Same. Beijing Jiuge Calligraphy and Painting Art Autumn Auction. Wu Guanzhong's 1988 painting "Parrot Paradise" was sold for more than 3 million yuan.
Chu Kee Auction House operates in this way to attract more buyers to participate in the competition. There are more athletes. The competition will be fierce. Wave on the spot. It is not ruled out that there may be an upset. As the second lot in this auction. Everyone on the scene knows it. This painting is sure to be in a lot of competition. But none of them could have imagined it. The first bidding for this painting pushed the atmosphere of the entire auction venue to the ground.
The auctioneer's voice did not fall. There was a clear offer of 15 million from the auction seat!
The first offer raised the reserve price by one-third, and there was immediately a buzz from the crowd, and the competition was more fierce than expected, Chen Yan bent down and waved his fist at Tang Feng, he said, "How is it?"
Tang Feng looked at Ren Wangzu and said to Chen Yan, "I hope someone will stand up and take the call." ”
The auctioneer said in his professional voice: The first bid of the buyer reached 15 million, and there are no more 5 million."
Starting to count down so soon, Tang Feng was inevitably a little worried, he turned his head and asked Liu Yue, "Why didn't you see Dong Minquan?"
"Don't worry, he is willing to work such an important painting and calligraphy
Will miss it. Liu Yue said: "But after all, Mr. Dong appeared on such an occasion in Hong Kong, and he would definitely entrust others to bid." ”
At this time, a middle-aged man beside Ren Wangzu raised the C58 bidding card in his hand, which said 16 million.
There was finally a response here, and the ball was kicked back: the buyer, everyone's eyes immediately turned to their side, and the buyer also raised the bidding card in his hand, 17 million.
Before the auctioneer had time to record the price, Ren Wangzu raised his card again, 18 million, and the C22 buyer did not show weakness, and immediately returned the price of 10,000, and the transaction price exceeded Tang Feng's estimate is a foregone conclusion.
Buyers frequently skip the report, but the buyers are as stable as Mount Tai, they immediately added 1C million, the competition seems to be fierce, but the prospects are not optimistic, Zhang Daqian Memorial Hall directly jumped newspaper is a lack of confidence in the performance, if there are no other buyers to participate in the competition, the reserve price is not much room to rise.
Sure enough, when Ren Wangzu quoted 21 million, the C22 buyer gave up the competition, which is a business that relies on donations and ticket revenue, and 20 million is their upper limit.
The auctioneer's talisman-like talisman sounded again, 100,000 once, 100,000 twice, Tang Feng secretly felt helpless, and the final transaction price of this painting was 2.11 million, and he was not qualified to participate in the competition of Su Dongpo's manuscript at all, and even the reserve price was not enough.
"Oh Xi's 1 buyer participated in the competition, they offered 25 million, 25 million, is there anything higher than 25 million!" The good news came from the auctioneer's mouth, Tang Feng knew that Dong Minquan's client had appeared, and he was the only one.
Someone suddenly killed, and Ren Wangzu was still unhurried, and they added another 10,000.
At the same time, the entrusted seat shouted a higher offer, 29 million! It is worthy of Dong Minquan, the offer is ruthless enough, they have already seen the clue from Ren Wangzu's quotation attitude, and went straight to the opponent's psychological price, and Ren Wangzu's side did not give an inch, and they quickly raised their cards to 10,000.
The No. 1 buyer was prepared, they immediately raised the reserve price to 330,000, such a vicious offer made the people on Ren Wangzu's side unable to sit still, they began to talk to each other, it is obvious that 10,000 exceeded their psychological price, as the buyers who are determined to win have to consider another factor, whether the auction house will raise its own price is not a problem, the problem is that it cannot be wasted. Ren Wangzu's entourage handed the mobile phone to Ren Wangzu's ear, Wangzu immediately smiled after hearing the sound, and he immediately made a continuation gesture to the middle-aged man beside him, and then, the middle-aged man raised the bidding card, 33.1 million.
Chen Yan asked Tang Feng: "Do you think he will call Dong Minquan?"
Tang Feng let out a sigh of relief, he was really worried that the No. 1 buyer was the nursery of Zhu Ji Auction House, if Ren Wangzu did not continue to offer, Zhu Ji Auction House would be miserable, but it turned out that the C01 buyer was not a nursery, but a bidder with the same strength as Ren Wangzu, and Ren Wangzu still knew this person. Tang Feng said: "It is very likely that it is impossible for people of this level not to know. It can be seen that Dong Minquan's status seems to be a little higher than Ren Wangzu's, he does not consider his opponents, but only considers his own offer.
"That's great!" Chen Yan said happily, "This painting will definitely fetch a high price." ”
Tang Feng shook his head and said, "You are wrong, the competition is about to end." Tang Feng guessed that the phone call just now would not only determine the transaction price of this lot, but also the transaction price of Su Dongpo's manuscript, and everyone would give in.
Ren Wangzu's phone was not long after hanging up, and the buyer of C011 immediately received the call, he answered the phone while nodding, and after hanging up the phone, he waved his hand to Ren Wangzu's side and said, "331.66 million!"
Ren Wangzu nodded to the man, they gave up the competition, and in the end, the painting was sold for 331.66 million, plus Tang Feng's own 10,000, Tang Feng finally got the opportunity to raise his card, however, the hope is still very slim, Dong Minquan may not participate in the competition of Su Dongpo's manuscript, but Ren Wangzu's competitor is even more terrifying.
After an hour, Su Dongpo's manuscript officially appeared, and the auctioneer made an introduction as usual, and finally, he said: "Lot 15, Song Sushi's manuscript of "Nian Nu Jiaobi Nostalgia", has no appraisal certificate, no genuine guarantee, and the reserve price is 10,000 yuan, and the auction will start now. "In the end, the expert group of the Ministry of Culture still failed to reach a consensus, otherwise there would be an appraisal certificate, and I would rather not do it than make a mistake, social philosophy.
Soon, the sound of quotation came, and when the auctioneer was busy singing the price, Tang Feng raised the quotation card in his hand, which read: 160,000!
Tang Feng couldn't control it so much, and directly quoted the highest price he could afford, just this hammer deal, okay, if it doesn't work, pull it down, Lin Muyu gently took Tang Feng's hand and asked him: "If the competition fails, will you be sad?"
Tang Feng laughed and said, "What's so sad about this, my mentality has always been very correct." ”
