Chapter Forty-Nine: Asakusa Can Have No Horseshoe

"420,000, the 18th buyer bid 420,000!

A look of disappointment flashed in Chen Yueqing's eyes, no one bid higher means that the commission is small and the income is not high.

"420,000 for the first time, if you don't bid again, you will miss out on the Chanel Limited Edition Gardenia Perfume, 420,000 for the second time! Okay, no one will increase the price, 420,000 for the third time! Congratulations to the 18th buyer, you will receive 10 bottles of Chanel Limited Edition Gardenia Perfume. After the auction, please bring your invitation to our staff backstage to collect your lot. ”

Next, let's talk about Mark 3. No. 3 mark is a phoenix plum bottle in Jizhou kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, the plum bottle is a kind of bottle type in the Northern Song Dynasty, because the mouth is small, only the plum branch is named, it is used as a wine storage vessel at the beginning of the generation, and it is mostly used for furnishings after the Yuan Dynasty. ”

"The decoration of this bottle is simple and generous, the painting is heroic, simple and refined, and the black glaze contrasts with the light-colored carcass, which has a unique charm. No matter from the shape, glaze color, or decoration techniques, it shows the typical characteristics of Jizhou kiln, with a unique style and a very strong local color. ”

Through the sound of the megaphone, Yan Xiwen's heart was not wavering. This is not his dish, he has seen the introduction on the color page, this plum bottle has a small mouth and round lips, a short straight neck, full shoulders, curved walls, and a gradually circled foot below the abdomen. The whole body is glazed with black glaze, and the body is painted with a phoenix flying up and down, and the ornamental part exposes the true color of the carcass, forming a black and white visual effect.

But in Yan Xiwen's eyes, this is just a "small jar" with a dark body and two white striped strange birds painted on it, and he really can't be more interested. Besides, Yan Xiwen doesn't believe much in the appraisal level of this auction company, modern luxury goods are fine, and he must find that kind of large auction company to buy a real antique collection, such as Sotheby's and Christie's reputation Yan Xiwen has also heard of it.

"The starting price is 320,000 yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 5,000 yuan!"

The third lot has already begun to be auctioned, and Yan Xiwen carefully flipped through the promotional color page in his hand. This promotional color page is printed thickly, and each page introduces one or more lots, of course, from the brochure you can only see the brilliance of the lot, but you can't see the defects. But Yan Xiwen has his own plans, he only looks at modern luxury goods and antique jade, and he doesn't plan to shoot anything else. As for the choice of luxury goods and ancient jade, he looked at the edge of his eyes, looked at what he liked at first glance, and then looked at the price, and then gave up if the price exceeded his psychological expectations.

As for what psychological expectations are, this is more idealistic.

For example, a jade bracelet, Yan Xiwen doesn't look at the jadeite variety, only looks at its brilliance, like the color of the snow-capped mountains and white clouds and green grass, he thinks it is normal to be worth millions. And if a pendant the size of a thumb is an emerald or ice jadeite, but looking at the size of Yan Xiwen, he feels that it is more than 1 million, and he will definitely not start. Of course, there are many factors involved in this, for example, the latter has many people who are crazy about robbing, and the people they care about are particularly fond of it, so he may greatly increase the psychological expectation price of such things.

rummaging all the way, Yan Xiwen really found several eye-catching items, a Maitreya Buddha jade pendant, an ice Guanyin pendant, and a string of Hetian jade seed bracelets.

The most attractive thing about the two jade pendants is not their crystal clear appearance, but the introduction of the jade pendant, "Wearing a jade pendant for a long time also has the effect of absorbing the turbidity of the body." Jadeite contains more than 30 kinds of trace elements that are beneficial to the human body, such as selenium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, manganese, magnesium, calcium, etc., which are beneficial to the human body. ”

There were two jade pendants at an auction, a Maitreya Buddha and a Guanyin pendant, as the saying goes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, which has to be said to be a kind of coincidence and fate. Yan Xiwen was going to take a picture and take it back to his parents, remembering that his parents were still working hard to build a new house in his hometown, Yan Xiwen couldn't wait to fly back now to take his parents to live. But unfortunately, my current life is difficult to explain, which requires a process to adapt myself and gradually let the people around me adapt to this change.

And the Hetian seed jade bracelet is purely because Yan Xiwen was amazed by the photos in the brochure and wanted to buy it for Bao Yujing to wear. This Hetian seed jade bracelet is yellow and white, with a total of 38 seeds, which can be spread out as a necklace or rolled into two circles to make a bracelet. On the brochure, a fair-skinned wrist wearing a yellow and white Hetian seed bracelet is really beautiful, Yan Xiwen felt very happy when he saw it, and wanted to buy it and wear it to the bag.

Time seems to pass slowly, but it actually flies by.

A lot plus the introduction time of the bidding maximum of 3-4 minutes, a total of 47 lots, including the unsold and short bidding time, each lot takes an average of 3 minutes, and can be completed in 2 and a half hours. The auction started at 7:15 a.m. and is now in the early 8 p.m., with the auctioneer on stage introducing the 17th lot.

"~~~, the collection-grade seed material chain, the whiteness, fineness and skin color are perfect, and the weight is 218 grams, which is beautiful. The starting price of Hetian seed bracelet is 650,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000 yuan each time!"

"Okay, buyer 18 bid 700,000, did anyone increase the price? Buyer 176 bid 710,000, did anyone increase the price? Buyer 18 bid 750,000!750,000!Buyer 18 bid 750,000, is there anything higher?"

"Buyer No. 5 bids 800,000, 800,000! Does anyone else bid? Buyer No. 18 bids 850,000, is there more than 850,000? Buyer No. 5 bids 860,000, is there more than 860,000?"

"860,000 for the first time, is there a higher price? 860,000, the 18th buyer bids 880,000, the 18th buyer bids 880,000!

In the end, this Hetian seed bracelet fell into the hands of Yan Xiwen as he wished, and the transaction price was 880,000, and the previous price increase of 55,000 yuan really scared off some people. In the end, it is to see who has a higher psychological price, Yan Xiwen has no concept of money at present, money is a string of numbers in his bank card, as long as he can buy what he wants to buy, he doesn't care much about how much it costs.

Followed by two jade pendants, a high ice species floating green Maitreya Buddha, with a little green flowers floating on the round belly, it looks crystal clear and translucent against the dark background, warm and kind. A piece of old pit ice Guanyin pendant, you can also see the flesh color of the back hand through the Guanyin pendant in your hand, which is also translucent and amazing, and the weight looks not small. Both jadeite pendants come with certificates certifying that they are Class A jadeite, i.e., natural jadeite.

The Maitreya Buddha pendant is the No. 21 lot, with a starting price of 400,000 yuan, Yan Xiwen added 50,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan all the way, so angry that I don't know how many people scolded in secret, and finally 700,000 yuan got the pendant in hand.

The Guanyin pendant is the No. 23 lot, with a starting price of 390,000 yuan, and finally the price soared all the way to 650,000 yuan, and finally no one came to compete with Yan Xiwen anymore.

There may be some people in the field who are already familiar with the No. 18 buyer, and the bid likes to increase by 55,000 yuan, and in the end, there are not many people who come to compete with Yan Xiwen again. Yan Xiwen felt a burst of regret, he also thought that his bidding would attract the attention of some people, and then he frantically raised the price with himself, and finally cheated himself.

The reality is obviously not like this, no one will use their own money as a strong wind to risk harming others. Not to mention whether you can trap others, if it falls into your own hands, it will be a huge loss. Those who don't really want these two pendants will not desperately raise the price, and those who want these two pendants will also bid rationally. After all, jadeite is not very rare, and in addition to its excellent material, it is more brilliant to be able to go to auction. If you really want to buy jade pendants, some specialty stores can also meet their needs, and Yan Xiwen obviously doesn't want to run to any specialty stores, so he can do simple things as simply as possible.

At 9:50 a.m., the auction ended successfully.

Of course, it's just the end of the ordinary mid-year auction, and there is a special auction waiting for Yan Xiwen to participate.

"Bag, you take this card to pay the bill, just say pay the account of the 18th buyer. The password is XXXXXX, do you remember it?"

"Well, okay. The password is XXXXXX, and there's nothing wrong with it. ”

"Yes, you pay the bill, let them send someone to carry the things to the car, you go to the car and wait for me. About half an hour out. ”

After speaking, Yan Xiwen, President Zhang, and Cao Jian said hello and motioned for them to go back first. As for how Cao Jian will go back, of course, Yan Xiwen doesn't have to worry about it, whether he takes a taxi back or calls someone to pick him up, it has nothing to do with Yan Xiwen.

"Mr. Yan, let's go together. I, as a guarantor, can go in with you. Cao Jian had just finished greeting Yan Xiwen and went out, and Zhang Tianxiang immediately said to Yan Xiwen.

Yan Xiwen frowned slightly: "Okay, let's go." ”
