Tang Feng was stunned for a moment, and the beautiful intern researcher of the National Museum only told him four words - trade secrets.

After a while, the auction for Lot 1 ended, and a buyer sitting in the commission seat bought the painting at a high price of 1.8 million. At auctions, there are many buyers who are reluctant to show up, and they usually bid over the phone through consignors.

The final price of this painting is eighteen times the reserve price, and the auction house will receive nearly 400,000 yuan. The ratio between the reserve price and the transaction price at an auction is difficult to quantify, and the key is to see how motivated buyers are to bid. In December 2007, at the autumn auction of Hanhai in Beijing, a Qing Yongzheng copper seawater dragon pattern bottle with a reserve price of only 500,000 yuan was auctioned for 15.7 million yuan, and the transaction price was more than 31 times higher than the low price.

At this moment, Tang Feng was still guessing the authenticity of this painting, if it was true, the auction house would not be so efficient. If it is fake, the auction house does not dare to make a promise of a penalty of ten for fake. There is also the possibility that the painting is just a means used by the auction house to hype up the wat board, and they can produce and sell it themselves for a fake auction, if so, the authenticity of the painting does not matter.

Tang Feng and Chen Yan were not interested in the next few lots, and the two of them were talking and laughing to kill time, and finally, it was Tang Feng's turn to be Lot 8.

The master of ceremonies first introduced the wat board, of course, the focus is on Cheng Changgeng, no way, this is the selling point of this wat board, and you have to rely on it. Tang Feng judged according to the time of this wat board, and the ivory wat board of the Sanqing class is worth a lot of money, so the boss uses it a lot. But the evidence on the part of the auction house is much more detailed than Tang Feng's, and they brought out the memoirs of Cheng Jixian, the master of Ye Shenglan, the founder of the Ye School of Peking Opera, the son of Cheng Changgeng's adopted son, who mentions an ivory wat board engraved with Daoguang Sanqing of the Great Qing Dynasty. Although all this hype does not seem to be direct evidence that Cheng Changgeng has used this wat board, it has finally made a plausible, and the rest is for those buyers to associate with.

The master of ceremonies finally said: "Lot 8 is old and true, and the fake one will be fined ten, the reserve price is 300,000 yuan, and the minimum increase is 10,000 yuan. ”

Tang Feng gently pulled Liu Yue's sleeve this time, and he asked her, "Are the people from the Peking Opera Ye School here?"

Liu Yue shook her head and said, "No, don't worry, we are very sure, maybe they are entrusted to bid?"

"600,000!" a buyer in the infield directly doubled the reserve price for the first time.

Tang Feng asked Liu Yue softly, "This is not the nursery you invited, right?"

"No!" Liu Yue said: "You don't understand, auction pricing is also a strategy, and the mentality of buyers when they see the reserve price at the preview is completely different from the mentality in the bidding. Besides, you're already in high demand, and because there are so many bidders, we set the reserve price so low. ”

"610,000, 620,000... 670,000... 790,000..."After the lowest increase in the continuous quotation, someone finally couldn't bear it, and the titan of the Tan faction quoted 1 million for the first time.

The bidding of the auction is also a science, the key is to figure out the psychological price of other competitors, from 600,000 to 790,000, the four buyers in the field did not give up, indicating that the psychological price of the bidder is very high, this Tan Pai Taidou simply raised the price to 1 million.

After that, there was a cold scene in the venue, no one continued to respond to the price, and the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "1 million once, is there any higher? 1 million twice......"

What Tang Feng was worried about still happened, Chen Yan's words about the light of peers did not come true to these big names in the Peking Opera industry, and both the Shang School and the Mei School withdrew from the competition. What's even more hell is that Lin Qianyu actually shook her head vigorously at the man who looked like the boss next to her at this time, after all, she is a junior, and it is normal that she is unwilling to rob her elders. It is estimated that the Tan faction master must be regretting it at this time, maybe no one will rob it if he calls 900,000?

The master of ceremonies continued to ask, "Is there anything more... Oh, the 088th of the entrusted seat is quoted at 1.1 million..."

"No. 088?" Chen Yan and Tang Feng glanced at each other, the person who uses this number must be a big name, there are two kinds of people in the world who are superstitious, one is stupid people, they need spiritual sustenance, and the other is rich and powerful people, they need a little hint in their hearts to deceive people if they do too much.

"1.1 million once... "This time, the Tan faction Taidou also gave up, and it seems that 1 million is his psychological price."

Everyone else in the Peking Opera industry has withdrawn from the competition, and Lin Qianyu, who seems to be the strongest, is also staying on the sidelines, and is about to make a deal.

"1.2 million!" a bidder with a cap in the venue held up the sign in his hand, and soon, another voice sounded - 1.5 million!

Seeing that the characters in the Peking Opera industry had withdrawn from the competition, the boss next to Lin Qianyu finally waited for the opportunity to pretend to be forced, but before that, he must have greeted the whole family of the guy No. 088, he didn't hold a grudge against the cap, because he hadn't had time yet.

This time, Tang Feng and Chen Yan were completely relieved, and it was time for the dragon to fight.

Then, the boss's head, the cap and the mysterious person stumbled all the way, and the offer was called from 1.5 million to 2.7 million, and when it reached 3.1 million, the cap that was preemptive finally gave up.

"3.3 million!" The offer of the entrusted seat No. 088 was aggressive.

At this time, Tang Feng was secretly scolding Lin Qianyu in his heart, I have a grudge against you? The young Peking Opera star gently pulled the head of the boss next to her again, signaling him not to make any more offers.

However, the advice of women at such times will instead become the spiritual strength of men who will never give up, the boss head keeps the heartache of turning money to himself, and the gentle smile let Lin Qianyu take it away, he proudly raised the sign and quoted: "3.5 million!" Hey, ask what is the situation in the world, heroes and heroes dig their own graves.

"3.5 million once... Quadratic... Is there anything more than 3.5 million..."After a long time of asking and not answering, the master of ceremonies, that is, the legendary auctioneer, made a final decision and made a deal!

Since the personal income tax in the auction industry is still only on the wall, after deducting 15% of the commission commission, Tang Feng's actual income is 2.975 million, which has greatly exceeded his expectations, fortunately, there is no live TV broadcast in this auction, otherwise our Yang Yaokui Yang Million would have vomited blood.

The auction was a great success, Tang Feng and Chen Yan high-fived each other, and their cooperation officially kicked off.
