In the evening, Christie's hosts invited a party of celebrities to the Paris auction at this hotel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's hard to imagine what it's like.

The most peculiar thing is that Fang Hong entered the field with a live broadcast.

After entering, many people saw Fang Hong, but no one came up to talk.

For these people, people like Fang Hong can be described in one word, a green hook baby.

It's so tender that there's no room to communicate with them at all.

However, this is limited to men.

Women are different.

Everyone knows that there are only two people in the world who are now the richest young man under the age of twenty-five, who can compare with Fang Hong.

One is the seventeenth prince of Saudi Arabia, and the other is Zuckerberg, whose fortune is valued at $4 billion this year.

Even if you are relaxed to the age of 30, there are only four people in the world such as Fang Hongfu, the other two are Country Circle Yang Huiyan and Deutsche Post family Albert.

For these French-speaking courtesans, Fang Hong could only pretend to be a living person.

However, there is such a rich man, and the other party is extremely favored, and this person is Steven Christie's, the current owner of this auction house.

Steven Christie's stepped forward with a wine glass and shook hands: "Hello Adventurer from the Far East." ”

Fang Hong smiled: "It's not as far as expected, it flew in thirteen hours, hello, Mr. Steven." ”

Steven smiled: "This time, the eyes of the whole world are focused on Christie's auctions, and it is all thanks to your help." ”

He is talking about the so-called Western upper-class celebrities who are keen on collecting, and as for ordinary people, they don't have the time to care about what you do to break the auction.

Fang Hong pointed to the aircraft: "I'm live broadcasting, say hello to the audience?"

"Live prom? Steven: "I'm Steven Christie's, Chairman of Christie's Auctions, and I have the opportunity to visit Christie's auctions around the world. ”

In fact, no matter how dirty they are in private, how rude they are in the face of people of the same status, and how polite they are in the face of the general public, they are very polite and self-contained.

For example, when the Arsenal team went to the magic capital this summer, the manager Arsene Wenger and the general manager of the team personally sent business cards to many fans, and announced that they would contact them directly if they went to Interland to watch the game.

Of course, the phone number above is dialed, and it can't be the professor himself who answered the phone.

However, we still have to do enough face.

Fang Hong smiled: "Mr. Steven, there is one thing I want you to satisfy. ”

"Oh, you're interested in this lot and want to take it directly?"

Fang Hong shook his head: "I want to broadcast the auction live, how about it?"

In recent years, some small auctions have begun to be live-streamed on a large scale, but Christie's has not tried to do so.

Steven actually always wanted to go into China, but unfortunately he couldn't succeed, he thought for a while: "Yes, but you have to have someone to accompany you, once you can't broadcast live, you have to cut off the signal." ”

"No problem. ”

Shui You's elated: "This is interesting, it's more interesting than looking at the treasure." ”

In the treasure appreciation program, millions of things can be used as the treasure king of the current program, but in large auctions, most of the lots will exceed this value.

The biggest feature of the auction is that it releases the news in advance what it wants to auction, and the people who deserve it have to participate in it, which is convenient for the premium.

For example, if a Picasso painting is only worth $3 million, many artists will definitely want to buy a Picasso painting.

But once the auction arrives, people who have a mountain of collections in their homes and no Picasso drawings will bid like crazy, and the final price can be more than three times the value.

Therefore, ordinary artists and researchers do not care about auctions, they prefer to go and pick up leaks.

Of course, there are occasional missteps in this situation.

For example, if a certain artwork makes a noise to attract people who want it, and then the starting price is higher than its own value, and as a result, the target customer does not show up at the auction site, which will cause the auction to fail.

As expected, the tiger head and monkey head are worth $2 million, and the starting price may be tens of millions of dollars.

Because this time, many rich people who suddenly signed up came for them.

After Steven agreed to this matter, the assistant who had been following him left directly, presumably to arrange the live broadcast.

At this dance party, Fang Hong didn't have any enthusiasm to participate, but just took everyone to see the food and wine.

France is indeed famous for its wines, and this time the wine used for the banquet is Latour, first class Latour 1975.

Heavy wine, Fang Hong didn't touch it.

Alcohol, all kinds of heavy foods, can make a good chef lose his sensitivity to taste, and Fang Hong rarely touches these things.

On December 8, the auction officially began.

Due to the large number of lots that appeared on the occasion of this fame, the auction was scheduled to last up to nine hours.

It's easy to understand, if someone who is interested in sniping at Prince W suddenly sees the lot they have always wanted, will they still save a large amount of cash to clash with Prince W?

Among them, I am afraid that there are some lots arranged by Prince W himself to clear the obstacles.

There are three major attractions in the auction, the first is the first lot, which must quickly get everyone into the show.

The second is the finale, which is definitely a treasure.

The third is the finish, the last lot is usually a treasure with a legendary history, but with damage or flaws.

"Hello everyone, the auction is about to start, let me introduce you to the rules, each lot will have a starting price and a mark-up range, for example, the starting price is one million, and each bid will be at least 10,000 yuan, so as to prevent someone from disgusting people by one dollar more than others. ”

"Brother Gun, you're talking about the sun in the old boy. ”

"That's a crow, okay, they are all one of the Five Tigers of the Eastern Star. ”

"I remember being alone, huh?"

"It's all played by Zhang Yaoyang, but it's two roles. ”

"The lots here, such as cultural relics, are just like the domestic cultural relics market, and they are only said to be handicrafts, that is, there will be fakes among them. ”

"Brother Gun, what you said is not professional enough, in our cultural relics circle, there is no truth or falsehood, only the old and the new. ”

The reason is this, for example, the Coke bottle of '78 and the Coke bottle of '98, you say that the Coke bottle of '98 is a fake? It's also a Coke bottle, but it's just not enough.

"Golden Hammer Auctioneer Como!" Fang Hong smiled: "An auctioneer is very important for the auction, a good auctioneer can stimulate customers to bid in a very smooth situation, and the inferior auctioneer will ask if anyone has bid on the stage three times or twice." ”

"This Como is Christie's oldest gold hammer auctioneer, and it seems that this time, Christie's wants to make a big profit. ”

On the stage, the first lot has been put on the stage, supported by a special bracket and hung with a red cloth.

"Is this an oil painting?"

"It doesn't look like it, such a big oil painting, how precious it must be for the first time on stage!"

Cuomo smiled on stage: "This lot was finished in 1929. ”

Many of the wealthy in the audience immediately recalled in their minds what kind of big artwork was from 1929.

"Its creator was a great sculptor, painter, and founder of Fauvism!"

The answer is imminent.

Someone stood up directly, looking excited.

"He is the fourth and last piece of the back relief series created by the famous French painter Henri Matisse in 1929, representing the pinnacle of Matisse's life's creation, "Back 4"!"

With his voice, the red cloth slid down, revealing his true face.

Fang Hong: "Damn, back 4 is the first lot! This is to hit the top ten records of the year!"

"Henri Matisse is one of the two most important Western painters in the world in the last century, the other is Picasso! They lived in France for most of their lives, and the back 4 is the pinnacle of Matisse's image creation ability during his life.

The sailors were puzzled: "Matisse, why haven't you heard of it?" and Picasso are equally famous?"

"In terms of innovation and structural analysis of painting art, it is indeed famous, but the price gap between the works is a bit large. ”

"No, why is Picasso so famous?"

Fang Hong: "Because Picasso was a member of the Communist Party of China, he had a life of hard work, and he could not find a second place in the history of the West for the emotional color infusion of his paintings. In fact, there is another reason, that is, Matisse died early, and Picasso also integrated the techniques of Fauvism and achieved success in his later years, if it is Picasso's early works, it may not be more valuable than Matisse's works of the same period.

"The starting price is $10 million, with a minimum increase of $500,000 per bid. ”

An increase must be at least 500,000, and the sailors brushed wildly: "I'm Cao, the rotten capital ZY, we have 500,000 dollars to not use it to do this stupid thing!"

"Young man, you still have to have a reserve price to add this 500,000. ”
