The time of the auction is sometimes extremely boring. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you can't see what you want to shoot, you have to watch people perform and compete.

From the beginning to the present, more than an hour has passed, and nearly 20 items have been auctioned, in addition to wild ginseng, necklaces, Buddha statues, jade jue, precious calligraphy and paintings, bronze utensils, and even a golden silk dress from the queen of the Ming Dynasty.

During this period, Gao Wentao shot twice, failed once, succeeded once, and got a limited edition Patek Philippe, with a starting price of 1 million and a hammer price of 2.3 million!

As for Zhang Duanwei and Liang Yongyan, they have been sitting on wax and have never made a move, Su Cheng heard Zhang Duanwei say that he wanted to make a good thing before, but he didn't know what he said, what it was.

Of course, not every item at the auction was sold, and there was a diamond ring that was priced at 2 million, and it was unsold.

"Okay, the auction has come to an end now, and at the same time, the climax of today's auction is coming!"

The auctioneer said, "Let's start auctioning the third-to-last item of this auction, which is a beautiful and dazzling ...... Golden Flying Eagle. ”

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the staff of the three venues, carrying a statue of an eagle with wings outstretched, slowly ascended to the high platform, and finally carefully placed it on the auction table.

This eagle statue is full of eagle posture, the whole body is cast in gold, and a gold plate half a centimeter back is embedded at the bottom, supporting the entire statue.

I heard the auctioneer say again: "This gold flying carving is a Dutch artist in the 19th century, spent seven years of painstaking efforts, forged with pure gold, the total weight of the flying carving is 115 kilograms, and the gold quality is ......."

When the auctioneer introduced the golden flying carving, the originally scattered atmosphere in the hall became compact in an instant.

Some people, their eyes were burning on the golden flying eagle, especially Zhang Duanwei, who was short of breath and almost stood up to look.

Su Cheng asked, "The good thing you said is this thing?"

Zhang Duanwei's eyes were burning, and he nodded: "That's right, that's it!"

Gao Wentao explained: "Xiaowei's grandfather will be 80 years old in two months, and he has been looking forward to having a golden statue of his own. Ten years ago, a golden lion statue appeared at the Hongchang auction, but at that time it was auctioned by a mysterious guy, and Xiaowei's grandfather has always regretted it. ”

"Xiaowei's family is a gold shop, and he is very obsessed and sensitive to gold, especially this kind of artistic statue, the old man loves Xiaowei very much, so Xiaowei has long had the idea of taking this gold flying eagle and giving it to the old man as a birthday gift. ”

Hearing this, Su Cheng had a general understanding, "However, this thing is both gold and an excellent work of art, I'm afraid it will cost a lot, right?"

Liang Yongyan said: "It's not just a lot of money, Brother Su, do you know how much the golden lion statue was photographed ten years ago?"

"How much?"

"108 kilograms, 43 million!"

Forty-three million? Su Cheng smacked his tongue secretly.

Ten years ago, the price of gold was much worse than now, when gold jewelry was only 221 grams, but the gold worth more than 20 million yuan could be auctioned for 43 million, which seemed to be a bit of a doorway.

However, not to mention, the current golden flying eagle is really vividly carved, as if a flying eagle swooping from the sky to hunt for food was crossed with a layer of gold, left at that moment, very domineering and shocking.

For rich people, forty or fifty million is not enough, just as Wang Jianlin, the richest man in China, said, 100 million is just a small goal.

After the introduction, the auctioneer cleared his throat and said loudly: "Don't talk much, Golden Flying Eagle, the starting price is 35 million, start bidding!"

"Thirty-six million!"

"I'll give 37 million!"

"I'll give 37.5 million!"

The price skyrocketed, and soon, the price of the golden eagle rose to 45 million.

At this time, Zhang Duanwei couldn't sit still, held up the sign and began to shout: "50 million!"

As soon as his words fell, the voice of shouting in the venue suddenly became much less.

For collectors, this gold flying sculpture is definitely one of the top collectibles, because it does not deteriorate and may increase in value as it ages.

But for those who simply want to buy gold, the price is too high.

Now the top thousand-foot gold jewelry on the market is only 340 grams, and the gold below pure gold is not even 260, but this flying gold is called nearly 501 grams, which is really a bit outrageous.

As a result, many people watched the play with their arms in their arms, did not bid, and only whispered.

When the auctioneer heard the higher price, his eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted: "Fifty million, are there any higher prices for the friends here, this is the only remaining gold flying eagle in the world, the collection value and the significance of the item are undoubtedly huge, I dare to guarantee that there will be no more such items in recent years, and the friends who want it have to hurry." ”

"Fifty-one million!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

“……”

The auctioneer's voice, and then some people thought about it, and felt that they were bound to have to compete, so they simply began to bid.

"Sixty million!" Zhang Duanwei shouted, holding a sign to suppress everyone's voices.

Sixty million, maybe there is no shortage of people here, but more than sixty million, I'm afraid there is really no need to compete.

But there are always some people who are not afraid of being pitted, and a man in a gray suit shouted: "Sixty-three million!"

"Huh?" Zhang Duanwei's pupils shrank, and his fists began to clench.

Gao Wentao whispered: "Xiaowei, the collection value of this golden eagle is at most 60 million, don't be entrusted to it." ”

"I know it in my heart, Brother Tao. After speaking, Zhang Duanwei immediately shouted: "Sixty-five million!"

Immediately afterwards, the man directly raised the price by another five million: "Seventy million!"

"Grass, who is this?" Zhang Duanwei scolded angrily in a low voice, 70 million has exceeded his estimated price, and it has also exceeded the collection value of this golden flying eagle, in short: it is really expensive.

Liang Yongyan frowned and said, "It's not a rich man in the province, I haven't seen it, what about you, Brother Tao?"

Gao Wentao shook his head, "I don't know, but it should be a rich guy, Xiaowei forget it, you want a golden flying eagle, I will go back and ask my French friends to help you manually process one, and there will be some processing fees, and the price is half cheaper than this, don't fight." ”

Nowadays, science and technology are developed, and there is indeed a process that can polish and carve gold in many ways.

However, to carve as perfectly as the golden flying carving in front of you, it requires not only modern high-tech craftsmanship, but most importantly, the craftsmanship of the master carver.

Obviously, at present, there are not many people in the world who have attainments in gold carving, and the people who have pushed this attainment to the peak only exist in the last century.

Therefore, this golden flying sculpture may be a unique work of art in the coming decades.

Zhang Duanwei glanced at the golden flying eagle unwillingly, and said dejectedly: "I made an investment some time ago, and I will buy it in a few days, and I don't have that much money now, and sixty-five million is already my limit." ”

Helpless, he had to choose to give up.

On Su Cheng's side, his eyes flashed, and he divided part of his mind into the system.

He asked, "System, isn't the gold digger able to process gold? Can you make a statue like a golden flying eagle?"

Simple underground gold is excavated, and without invoices, I am afraid that it will be sold cheaply.

But if gold is made into a work of art, it may be possible to fool around and sell for a higher price.
