Chapter 451: A crowded exhibition
Before the exhibition began, Li Dacheng entered the museum in advance as the organizer, and the staff of Huaigu were making final preparations for the preview, and the security personnel were already in place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Generally, only a part of the lots will be displayed in the preview, especially those valuable antiques, which are usually kept until the auction is held, but this time Huaigu took out all the 66 lots for display, Li Dacheng's purpose in doing this, in addition to reflecting the strength of Huaigu, is also to let people know more about these 66 lots, and dispel some people's doubts about these lots, so that they can bid more confidently to compete, and raise the price of the fart to a new height, and Li Dacheng can also take advantage of the fishermanγ
It is used to describe beautiful women, and for antiques, the more they are exposed, the more people are interested in it, and the more they know, the greater their interest.
"Dacheng, everything is ready, just wait for the museum to open. Ye Jin came to report in front of Li Dacheng.
Gao Mingde also walked over, but he obviously had never encountered such a big battle, with a little worry on his face, and he was even more nervous in his heart. No way, in the past, he was in charge of the auction, and the total number of lots exceeded 100 million was pitiful, but now, the value of a lot can reach hundreds of millions, which is absolutely impossible to eat and walk around if there is any accident during the preview. Although these antiques are insured by insurance companies for a huge amount of money, their existence is unique and irreproducible, even if the insurance company accompanies the money, the damage to the national treasure is a loss to all mankind.
Just like the portrait of Emperor Qianlong of Lang Shining, why should it be hung up? Wouldn't it be better for the bungalow to be inside the counter? What if it fell off the wall?
And the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, why is it placed in the counter? What if there is an earthquake?
Worried, so fucking worried.
"There are ten minutes left, I don't know what will happen in the next three hours, I hope everything goes well. Li Dacheng said that when he was a visitor before, he didn't feel anything, but now as the organizer, the pressure is like an invisible mountain pressing on him.
As the chairman of the company, he doesn't want to put too much pressure on the company's employees, because the pressure is too great, it is easy for people to make mistakes, and the preview is not to be wrong, it is directly related to the subsequent auction.
"Chairman Li, please rest assured that our AXA Security Company will definitely do a good job in the security work inside and outside the preview and will not let you down. At this time, a middle-aged man with a tall height appeared in front of Li Dacheng, a black suit could not cover his strong body, his muscles seemed to be torn out of his clothes, with short hair, dark and rough skin, which was caused by the wind and sun, and a headset pinned to his ear.
"Are you ......?" Li Dacheng looked at this man suspiciously, feeling that the other party was like a black iron tower, full of oppression, at first glance, he had practiced, and when he stood there, it made people feel that his combat effectiveness was explosive.
"I am Wang Hu, the captain of the first-level security team of AXA Security Company. Dahan stretched out his hand as he spoke.
"Hello, Captain Wang. Li Dacheng also stretched out his hand, and the other party's hand tightly held together, don't touch I don't know, under the touch, scared Li Dacheng, the other party's hand is big and rough, covered with a layer of calluses, hard and powerful, like a vice, if this slaps down, isn't it the same as being slapped by moving bricks?
"Captain Wang is a retired officer of the special forces, very powerful, and has a lot of experience in large-scale event security. Gao Mingde added, "Our nostalgic art auction company has been cooperating with AXA Security Company, but the previous previews were all petty fights, and the second-level security team was invited, but this time there were too many national treasures, so we hired a team and handed it over to Captain Wang." β
Li Dacheng nodded, the level of antiques in this exhibition is different, and the level of the hired security team will naturally go up to a higher level, money is a trivial matter, the key is to ensure the smooth operation of the event and the safety of antiques, which is the most important thing.
"Captain Wang, since you are an expert, then it would be a bit superfluous for me to say anything, the preview is about to start, let me see how professional you are. Li Dacheng said lightly.
Wang Hu was slightly stunned, and looked at the young man in front of him with some strange eyes, he has been in this industry for some years, and this is the boss with the least nonsense he has ever encountered. "Definitely. Wang Hu only replied with two words, but it was extremely sonorous and powerful.
Soon, when it was time for the preview to begin, as soon as the doors of the museum opened, the people who were already waiting outside began to pour inside, and the scene was like a train crowded during the Spring Festival.
But in fact, the people who received the invitation letter are all successful people with a certain identity and status, and they are all gentlemen, but now they seem to be a different person, obviously the antiques are quietly placed in it, and none of them can run, but they still look like a 'promotion rush to buy', for fear that the things will be sold out and they will not have their share.
As for it?
However, if you want to enter the exhibition hall inside, you must pass through two passes, the first pass is to show the invitation, only have the invitation, or the companion of the owner of the invitation letter, can be released, the second pass needs to pass the security check, it is forbidden to carry flammable and explosive dangerous goods are prohibited from entering, only through these two passes, can you enter the exhibition hall and see the dream baby.
If someone wants to break in, then the security personnel behind the two gates will take people out of the museum, and if they still want to make trouble, then the criminal police outside are not decorations.
After more than ten minutes, more than 300 invitations have been received at the first gate, but the number of people entering the exhibition hall has exceeded 700, and more than 100 invitations have not been received.
1,000 people is not much for an art museum that can accommodate 5,000 people, but the exhibition only rents one of the floors, less than 1,000 square meters, excluding the display cabinet and so on, 1,000 people is seriously beyond the scope of accommodation.
"There seem to be a lot more people than expected. Li Dacheng looked at the people in Wuyang and Wuyang in the station hall, and said to Ye Jin beside him, it felt like a shopping mall a year ago, crowded with people, and from a distance, they were all black spots.
"It's because I didn't do a good job, if I had written the name of the inviter on the invitation letter and only allowed the inviter to use it, I wouldn't have so many people here today. Ye Jin said reproachfully, the scene was indeed a little chaotic.
The winter auction organized by Huaigu at the end of last year was entirely in charge of Gao Mingde, and at that time, Huaigu's fame was too small, and there were not many treasures on display, even if the name of the inviter was not written on the invitation, not many people went.
But today is different, all the exhibits are national treasures, and each invitee basically comes with several people, and only a few come to the exhibition alone, which is indeed her negligence.
"It's not your fault. After hearing this, Li Dacheng said, if only the name of the inviter is written on the invitation letter, and the inviter is not allowed to bring people, this is not only impersonal, but also impractical, because the invited people are not all experts in the antique circle, there are many rich businessmen and magnates, these people have a very limited understanding of antiques, they usually bring their own experts when they attend this kind of occasion, if they don't bring it, then they come here to be black-eyed, so this has nothing to do with Ye Jin.
Li Dacheng and Ye Jin came from Area A to Area B, and from Area B to Area C, I don't know why, I obviously saw a lot of people coming in, but there were not as many people in these three areas as I imagined, and there were only a few people standing in front of the lots, and there was no crowded scene as imagined.
It's just that when the two of them came to Area D, they were stunned by everything in front of them, because they had just come to the junction of Area C and Area D, which was actually a corner, but the road in front was blocked, and it could really be described as a sea of peopleDancing in the show.
"Here it is...... Customize the exhibition location of antiques!" Ye Jin said after a glance.
Li Dacheng nodded, the only thing that can cause such a big sensation is the custom antiques, and among the people present today, the vast majority of them are here for these twenty custom antiques, even those who look at the other forty-six lots, in fact, they are also for the twenty custom antiques, but they really can't squeeze in, they can only visit other lots.
"Wow, this is the portrait of Emperor Qianlong of Lang Shining?"
"Authentic, it's genuine. β
"This Mi Fu's practice is amazing. β
"If you want to say that this pastel hollow vase from the Qianlong period is good-looking"
"I still think that the Yongzheng Imperial Enamel amphora is better, this silhouette, this shape, this color, tsk. β
"It's still this Wuyi big red robe and Pu'er tea bricks, I can smell it through the glass. β
Hundreds of people crowded in a small space, on the exhibition of twenty pieces of custom antiques, no one is not amazed by the twenty pieces of custom antiques, usually see a very rare, now good, all of a sudden appeared twenty pieces, this is simply the grand event of the antique circle, such an antique lineup, all over China, but also only the Beijing Museum has such strength, others, not worth mentioning at all, even those provincial museums, in front of these custom antiques, will be overshadowed.
Crazy is crazy, excitement is excited, after all, they are all insiders, and their love for antiques allows them to keep a certain distance from antiques even in this crowded situation, so as not to crash into the antiques in the showcase, of course, this also has a lot to do with the cordon and security personnel pulled in front of the showcase.
This situation lasted for two hours before it got better, and some people who were still in the heart of the custom antique exhibition area began to set their sights on the other forty-six antiques, after all, twenty pieces of custom antiques are the bidding of a small number of people, and these forty-six antiques are the purpose of the majority.
Of course, because the charm of these 20 custom-made antiques is so great that no one can beat it, there are still many people who stay here, looking at it with their eyes wide open and swallowing their saliva at the same time.
Hungry, look at the plum to quench your thirst.
"Ming Chenghua's Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup? "Suddenly, a voice rang out from the D area, and even to the C area next door, and even the B area could be heard.
His voice was loud, and at first glance it was deliberate.
Li Dacheng was standing between the D exhibition area and the C exhibition area, after hearing the voice, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes fell on the D area, in front of the display cabinet where the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was placed, a middle-aged man with a satchel on his back stood there, his eyes looked at the expensive chicken bowl cup, and his face showed a disdainful sneer.
It's finally here!
Before the start of the exhibition, Li Dacheng predicted that there would definitely be people smashing the field in the preview, after all, he has been too high-profile in recent months, especially as soon as the custom antiques appeared, Li Dacheng listened to Jiade's He Jianming said that the auction circle was in a hurry, and several major auction houses as competitors actually gathered together to close their doors to drink tea, discussing countermeasures to deal with custom antiques, of course, in the end, the tea party ended with nothing to do, but this does not mean that several major auction houses will not take action.
It's just that Li Dacheng felt strange that the person who smashed the field was not aiming at one of the 46 lots, but at the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup? You must know that the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup is a treasure among the treasures, and it has also been appraised by the Beijing Museum's appraisal expert group, so it is really an unwise choice to find fault with this antique.
Wouldn't it be just a random fool to smash the scene? Couldn't you just find someone who was a little more professional and an insider? Damn, this is too much to look down on us and be nostalgic, right? Li Dacheng thought to himself.
"Look, someone's smashing the field. β
"But that's the case? Ming Chenghua's Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup is nothing more than that? This person is really talking in a dream, right?"
"It's not just talking in a dream, I think it's a mental illness, talking nonsense here, that chicken bowl cup has the strength of breaking 100 million, he really thinks he is the richest man in the world, just shoot it?"
"Who is this? It's too much of a stretch to smash the scene without inquiring about today's preview. β
"Perhaps, that Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup is a fake?"
"Fakes, are you vegetarians when you are the old researchers of the Beijing Museum?"
"yes, I almost forgot about it. (To be continued.) )
