Chapter 179: A Skinny Camel Is Bigger Than a Horse?
Li Dacheng looked at the silent Zijin Hall, and his heart suddenly became happy, are these more than 200 people here to be funny? The one by one talked about it before was called a lively one, why did they all stop eating when it came time to get serious? Those collectors, guests, investors, big money, and local tyrants, when they came, they were all full of momentum, hugging each other, carrying the wind and rain, why are they all dumb now? Could it be ...... Could it be that in addition to him, there is someone else who has super WeChat and has taken a photo at this moment?
Li Dacheng hurriedly stretched his neck and looked around, and found that there were really a lot of people like him, turning their heads and looking around, Li Dacheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he was thinking too much, after all, if everyone has it, then the world is not chaotic?
But here's where it gets interesting.
If time doesn't stop, why is the auction venue so quiet? Why didn't anyone shout? Shouldn't the auction be one after another with signs raised, one after another shouting, and the fierceness is like the battlefield? But now, are they really all here to see the excitement of soy sauce? Participation?
Is it possible that if you don't make the first lot, you will not be able to sell it? Then the joke is a bit of a big deal.
Even if Li Dacheng is a layman, he is also very clear that under normal circumstances, at the beginning of the auction, some lots with a reserve price that is strictly lower than the value of the baby itself will be taken out for auction, one is to mediate the atmosphere of the scene, and the other is to have a good start. But in such a situation, this blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern bowl made in the year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty is lower than the actual value, no one cares, isn't this a big joke? If this atmosphere cannot be broken and continued, then Jiade Auction House will definitely become a big joke in the auction world all over the world.
Porcelain should be Jiade's forte, if even this can't beat nostalgia, then this auction is still a fart?
Looking at Dina, who took out the lot and was now standing on the stage with an embarrassed face, Li Dacheng's heart blossomed, if it weren't for the environment. He has a heart for beating gongs and drums, of course, in order not to be seen, his face pretends to be gloomy. The whole body is trembling, in fact, it is suffocated, and those who don't know will definitely think that it is angry.
Wu Changyuan, the general manager of Jiade Auction House, who was standing behind the auction table, had already begun to sweat at this time, although he knew that Huaigu Auction Company had many treasures. Today's auction will not be easy to open, but I didn't expect to encounter such a big trouble on the first lot, because this blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern bowl of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty is his own private collection, the market price is at least 600,000 yuan, and the auction is opened at a reserve price of 100,000 yuan, just to make a personal reputation, I didn't expect that even in this case, no one shouted the price. Could it be that these collectors of the dojo today are blind? The start is not good, it is really a bad start.
"This blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern bowl uses the Ming Dynasty blue and white painting method in the dot dyeing technique, the painting is smooth and delicate, the glaze is evenly moist, it is really a fine product in the Qianlong official kiln, the reserve price of 100,000 yuan, it is definitely low and low, all the guests present, all the collectors, don't you think so?" Wu Changyuan pointed to the huge picture displayed on the big screen. I made another introduction to the many people in the Zijin Hall, hoping to stimulate the bidders in the audience.
"One hundred and twenty thousand."
As soon as Wu Changyuan's words fell, someone in the audience held the sign high and shouted loudly.
Li Dacheng looked over. His eyes fell on a middle-aged man in the middle, who did not have anything unusual in himself, but Li Dacheng noticed that this person had made eye contact with Dina on the stage.
Childcare?
Is there childcare at auction too?
Li Dacheng is not stupid, although it is the first time to participate in the auction, he does not understand the rules of the auction. But the eye contact between Dina and the middle-aged man holding the sign was immediately apparent. Even if this middle-aged man is not a nursery, he is definitely Dina's bedside guest, and in short, there must be some unknown relationship with Dina.
"One hundred thousand."
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
Sure enough, after someone shouted the price, the scene immediately became active, and the price shouting continued to sound.
There's a set!
Li Dacheng thought in his heart after seeing it, it seems that in order to deal with the all-treasure lineup of nostalgia, Jiade has also made a lot of preparations, think about it, Jiade is also one of the largest auction houses in the country, and he has rich auction experience, what scene has he not experienced? You must be fully prepared.
Originally, Li Dacheng was still waiting to see the joke that the first lot was unsold, but now it seems that he is innocent. Sure enough, there are ghosts in every line.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
"400,000 ......"
After countless bids, the dragon and phoenix pattern bowl, which originally had a reserve price of 100,000 yuan, soon rose to 400,000 yuan, and finally stopped at the price of 400,000 yuan.
"400,000, Mr. 088 pays 400,000, does anyone pay a higher price?" After Wu Changyuan watched the audience for a while, he saw that no one raised a sign again, and had to say, "400,000 for the first time, 400,000 for the second ......time" Wu Changyuan was distressed at this time, someone spent 600,000 yuan to buy his dragon and phoenix bowl, he refused to sell it, but he didn't expect to shout 400,000 today, and no one would shout the price anymore, which was enough to accompany 200,000, and his heart was bleeding. "400,000 for the third time, deal."
While!
The hammer fell heavily on the hammer pad, and although Wu Changyuan's face was smiling, his heart was bleeding. What the hell is going on today? Could it be that these more than 200 people are here to smash the field and pick up leaks? Have a local stall here?
"Congratulations to Mr. No. 88 for taking this blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern bowl made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty." Wu Changyuan raised his hands and took the lead in applauding.
Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang ......
The applause from the audience was pouring, not only was it not enthusiastic, but it even felt a little bleak. This face is dug up, and the roots are dug up, which is too faceless. However, the first lot was finally auctioned out, and if it was unsold, it would be a shame.
The corners of Wu Changyuan's mouth trembled, and after sorting out his mood, he continued, "Now let's take a look at the second lot...... The blue and white cloud dragon sea pattern bottle of the Qianlong period. ”
Li Dacheng looked at the huge photo released on the screen, no wonder Ye Jin told him that Jiade Auction House has a lot of fine porcelain, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, it was such a fine product from the beginning.
"Blue and white cloud dragon sea pattern bottle, the drum belly is painted with a cloud dragon map, the dragon's eyes are angry, the dragon's hair rises, the five claws are sharp, the dragon scales are neat, the demeanor is realistic, and it is about to come out, there is a sea water wave pattern decoration, the sea water rolls, one after another, the bottom of the blue and white seal book 'Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty' six-character paragraph, the bottom tire is solid, the shape is regular, and it is a fine ...... in the blue and white vase category."
While described, Dina pushed the second lot onto the stage.
"Reserve price, 500,000 ......"
The reserve price of the first piece is 100,000, and the reserve price of the second piece is 500,000? Shouldn't the auction be gradual, incremental, and the higher the price will be? That's too much of a difference, isn't it?
Li Dacheng hurriedly opened the album he received before coming to the venue today, because he had seen the auction album sent by Jiade Auction House before, so he didn't care, and now when he looked at the scene, he immediately felt that although Jiade's lots did not increase much, it seemed that he had put a lot of thought into the process of the auction, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Li Dacheng looked at the order of the lots, and all the ones in front were porcelain, it seems that Jiade knows very well that in terms of calligraphy, painting and jewelry, he can't fight nostalgia, so he puts the porcelain with obvious advantages in the front, and uses this way to attract the attention of these bidders present.
I have to say that Jiade's wishful thinking is good, although there is a certain risk in doing so, the overall price of porcelain may be dragged down because of the unclear situation at the beginning, but from the overall situation of the whole auction, this risk is definitely worth taking, otherwise in the competition with Huaigu, it will definitely lose. Once the plan is successful, at least it will be able to save some face and not lose too badly.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Five hundred and eighty thousand!"
After the first round of silence, the second round of auctions gradually began to formalize, and some bidders who had been prepared before began to bid on the interested lots.
Since both Jiade and Huaigu auction houses have previewed the lots before the auction, everyone has a certain understanding of the lots of the two auction houses, so that they can choose their favorite lots to bid. Everyone knows that nostalgia has treasures in calligraphy, painting and jewelry, so those who are interested in porcelain will focus all their attention on the Jiade auction, where porcelain is more brilliant.
"800,000, Ms. 34 is out to 800,000, 800,000 for the first time, 800,000 for the second time, 800,000 for the third time, deal."
While!
"Congratulations to Ms. Thirty-Four."
As the old oilman on the auction floor, Wu Changyuan kept talking to adjust the atmosphere of the scene, and soon, the auction returned to normal, no longer in a deserted situation, and the transaction of porcelain one after another made the atmosphere of the entire auction site warm.
"Now, let's look at Collection No. 31, Wu Changshuo's Flowers, Trees, Narcissus, Peony, Vertical Scroll."
Wu Changshuo?
Li Dacheng was slightly stunned when he heard it, he couldn't be more familiar with this name, because among the treasures he entrusted to Ye Jin, there was a pair of calligraphy couplets by Wu Changshuo, and according to Ye Jin's assessment, the painting was at least a few million or more, and the auction reserve price was five million. A few words, it's worth millions, and now there's a painting, so what's it?
Damn, Jiade really didn't give it for nothing, he was able to get Wu Changshuo's painting, which was not in the previous lot album.
Could it be that Jiade is going to fight back? (To be continued.) )
