Chapter 1111 Zhang Yi in the auctioneer
The Chinese or Chinese who can participate in this kind of auction in London, England, are not stupid, and even these people may have known each other, and in many auctions, I am afraid that a certain tacit understanding and relationship have been formed, and the competition should never be so fierce.
Mr. Wang Zhengjun is also one of these people, although he joined these loose auction clubs not early, but because of his special identity and ability, his status among these people is quite not low, even some rich people, are willing to listen to him a word or two, especially when buying Chinese antiques.
The original purpose of the establishment of this auction club was actually to avoid mutual harm between Tibetan friends, and those foreign devils took advantage of it, after all, everyone knows very well in their hearts that if no one manipulates behind their backs, the price of Chinese cultural relics in the international auction market will definitely not be high.
Before the start of this auction, they got together once, and also discussed the basic process of the auction, and they all said that they should not let the price competition of antiques be too fierce, otherwise it will definitely be the big ones who will suffer in the end.
As for how to form a tacit understanding, they have already thought of a code.
But people are not as good as heaven, no one thought that after the previous three hours of auction, this person named Jason Ben saw their intentions, and then adopted a special method, so that this so-called alliance, which was not rigorous, collapsed instantly, and the price of the guide rose rapidly.
The auctioneer is this kind of creature, especially the excellent auctioneer, who is really able to turn decay into a magical being.
Zhang Tianyuan has also met many auctioneers. But like Jason Benn, he's never seen before.
Many auctioneers in the country are too strict. It seems that from the very beginning, he and his customers are enemies, but Jason Ben is different. He really seems to be a family member to the client, as if he is here to be a helper to the client, and it is difficult to think that he is an enemy, a helper of the owner of the lot.
"£30 million ......"
"36 Million ......"
"40 million pounds! I'll give 40 million pounds......"
In the venue, the fierce price battle is still in full swing, although this matter has little to do with Zhang Tianyuan, but he still feels that it is not a taste, it is like a robber robbing your house. And then you have to put it there for your family to pay for the auction, and the most speechless thing is that the bidders are all so excited, as if they want to give all the money they have to this robber.
He admits that there are many people here who are as patriotic as he is, and that the purpose of photographing such things is to bring them back home and prevent Chinese cultural relics from wandering abroad, but if the price is too high, it will be completely meaningless.
The reserve price of this "Roselle Futu" was only 10 million pounds at the beginning. But now it has risen to 40 million pounds, a fourfold increase, and it is estimated that it will be 60 million pounds before looking at the feelings of these people. Will bid desperately, he couldn't help but sigh, something. I really can't help it.
"Boss, this Jason really has a good idea. It's a madman who has taken white gloves twenty-five times, so shouldn't this guy want to take white gloves this time?"
Lancelot trembled and looked at Zhang Tianyuan, who was not very good-looking. Said cautiously.
"Take it, the point of white gloves is to shoot everything, which doesn't contradict my purpose, I just don't want these things to be too expensive. This "Luo Shen Futu" is definitely one of the best in China this time, and if I can set the tone for it, then the next lot will not go crazy in price......"
Zhang Tianyuan hoped that Jason Ben could have taken the white glove, he had planned to recruit this person before, as long as the auction of Tong Guò made the Brotherhood auction house stink, then Jason Ben would definitely have to find another job, and when he came forward again, this matter would become much simpler.
"I'm very glad that the people who came here today are all people with vision and patriotism, if I were Chinese, I would also bring this national treasure back to China, this will be the pride of the nation, the pride of China! I believe you should all know, such a painting, the lowest estimate should be more than 100 million pounds, now it is 40 million pounds, I really hope you can take this thing back......
Because at this time, the price is still rising, so Jason Ben is just a little bit of a stimulating person to push the boat, his words, as long as he is a little bit patriotic, it is estimated that he will be stimulated, not to mention that when he is excited, hormones are still accelerated, so he is not a hot brain, and he even forgot what his name is?
I've forgotten all about the previous budget estimates.
Childcare?
Jason Ben disdains to use childcare, which is the lowest way to bid, only the most incompetent auctioneer will rely on the help of childcare, he doesn't need it at all, he believes that with his own ability, he can make this auction end perfectly.
What he said, true and false, false and true, but the valuation of "Luo Shen Futu" is very real, 100 million pounds is really not high, such a national treasure-level work, there has never been a precedent for auction, just like Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper", if it really has to be auctioned, it can definitely be auctioned for a sky-high price.
And the significance of "Luoshen Futu" is only greater than the significance of these two paintings, because it also involves the self-esteem of Chinese.
"Fifty Million Pounds ......"
Sure enough, Jason Ben's words worked, and although he didn't say much about the painting, his impassioned remarks, which were as impassioned as speeches, made many people hot-headed, and they couldn't help but add 10 million pounds at once!
You know, the initial minimum price increase was only 100,000 pounds, 10 million pounds at once, this customer is not stupid, but he is a little hot-headed, he also knows that such a painting may not be able to get his hands on 40 or 50 million pounds, so a little increase is too boring, will add 10 million pounds at once, he thinks that if this can scare others, it will be good.
At this time, Wang Zhengjun, who was sitting below, shook his head helplessly, it was all messy, all the things he said at the club's internal meeting were all gone.
Originally, everyone was friends, a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, but now, after a few words, they have become enemies who watch out for each other, and this auctioneer is really terrible.
He suddenly thought of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, didn't this Jason Mo know Zhang Yi after watching "Warring States Policy"?
On the basis of the Shang Dynasty's reforms, Zhang Yi "fought the princes with the balance of the outside", cooperated with the Qin State's farming and warfare policies, used eloquence and crisp strategy, lobbied the princes, and made many achievements, becoming a pivotal figure in the political, diplomatic and military affairs of the Qin State.
In the sinister environment of the turbulent situation, he mainly relied on diplomatic means and adopted the strategy of connecting and horizontally to "disperse the subordinates of the six countries and make them deal with Qin in the west", which greatly expanded the national prestige of the Qin state and produced a huge deterrent effect among the vassal states.
Mencius's disciple Jing Chun praised and said: "Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi, aren't they honest husbands? When they are angry, the princes are afraid, and they live in peace and the world is extinguished." Zhang Yi used military and diplomatic means to make Qin "pull out the land of Sanchuan in the east, merge Ba and Shu in the west, collect Shangjun in the north, and take Hanzhong in the south", which played a positive role in Qin's hegemony and future unification.
And today, in Wang Zhengjun's view, this Jason Ben is simply like Zhang Yi in the auctioneer, easily disintegrating the union of buyers, which is really terrible.
Who can stand up to stop this guy, otherwise, today's auction is only afraid that it will be out of control, especially the auction of Chinese cultural relics, which will lead to heavy losses for Chinese and Chinese collectors.
"Fifty million pounds, sir, your courage is truly commendable, and your patriotism is absolutely admirable, and I believe that if anyone in the country knew that you had made such a great effort to return to this national treasure, it would be very, very excited. ”
Ben still had a nonchalant smile on his face, and he looked at the man who had bid £50 million, and encouraged him with a sincere and full Yangon-filled smile, encouraging him to complete the deal and take the painting.
Of course, 50 million pounds will not work, and in Jason Ben's plan, the painting will be sold for at least 70 million pounds, at least to meet the boss's expectations, otherwise the task will not be completed.
Naturally, if things were better, he wouldn't mind playing with some language and letting the price continue to climb above £100 million.
At this time, those who used to think that Jason Ben was an idiot were also amazed, originally Jason Ben set a starting price of 10 million US dollars, which was completely inconsistent with their ideas, in their opinion, at least 50 million pounds, in this case, even if 60 million pounds were won, it would be considered a profit, and they were afraid that the price would not be 60 million pounds.
But judging from the current trend, as long as there are no accidents, the price of this painting is not to mention 60 million, and it is estimated that 70 million may not be able to stop it.
All of them are under Jason Ben's control, as long as anyone who understands them, they can see it, but unfortunately most of the buyers here are hot-headed, and they don't even think that they have fallen into Jason Ben's language magic, and all of them are going according to the rhythm that Jason Ben wants.
Jason Benn was also relieved that he didn't think there was anything wrong with him.
And people like Wang Zhengjun, who can't afford such a high price, are more calm, they just hope that someone can stop this farce and let this farce end quickly. (To be continued......)
