Chapter 31 Relevant Departments
Wang Tengfei was annoyed in his heart, snorted coldly, stopped talking to Li Hui, found a seat to sit down, and waited for the auction to start. __ bar w·w-w-.'
The days in Africa, really not people's lives, let him this rich boy suffer, this time back to China is to fight, I heard that the big man is addicted to alcohol, his father **** inquired in many ways, and finally learned that Baoyi Auction House has a century-old wine auction today, this news made him see hope at once, his father may promise, no matter how much money is spent, this wine must be auctioned.
"Everyone, welcome to our Baoyi auction, I am today's auctioneer Liu Changyuan, don't talk nonsense, the auction has officially begun!"
"The first auction item, Tang Dynasty Jingdezhen official kiln listening to the wind bottle, this bottle design is ingenious, the bottom is round, the principle is the same as the current tumbler, there is a wind blowing, it will shake and not fall, so the name of the wind bottle, in the Tang Dynasty is owned by the princes and nobles, identified by our experts as genuine, the starting price is eight million, each increase is not less than 300,000, now the auction is open!" The auctioneer pointed to a round-bottomed vase on the large screen behind him.
As soon as the words fell, someone who liked porcelain among the crowd immediately raised a sign, "The thirteenth bid is 8.3 million, the eighth is 8.6 million, and the fifteenth is 8.9 million," and as soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, someone directly raised the sign and shouted, "Fifteen million!" ”
Everyone looked for prestige, it turned out to be an old man, about sixty years old, he raised his card, everyone shook their heads, and no longer increased the price.
"Liu Lao seems to really value this listening bottle, worthy of being a famous collector, I think this listening bottle is worth 13 million at most, and it is boring if it is high," everyone is an expert, and they all know that the old man surnamed Liu is the CEO of a well-known domestic company, and he also loves to collect porcelain, almost to the point of falling into the enchantment, and fifteen million is already the limit of the wind bottle. ﹎8_﹎>w=w`w·.
"Number Five bids fifteen million once, fifteen million twice, fifteen million three times, good! Deal. The auctioneer shouted three times in a row according to the rules, and after no one raised the price, he made a final decision and announced the final result.
Everyone here knows that this is just the beginning, the real good things are behind, and there is no need to fight for a wind bottle.
"The second auction item, Song Huizong Zhao Ji's sketch of rare birds, the starting price is 10 million, and the price increase is not less than 1 million each time, and the auction is now open!"
Everyone's emotions rose instantly, in the past, Song Huizong's calligraphy or calligraphy and painting were the final finale, but now they were taken out early, does this mean that there are better things than Song Huizong's works in the future?
"Twelve million!"
"Sixteen million!"
"Twenty million!!"
Everyone present was very excited, and no longer increased the price as the auctioneer said, but directly shouted the price themselves, and the price increase came and went, and finally it was auctioned off for 28 million.
Feng Fei was also dumbfounded when he watched it in the private room, and kept patting his chest and muttering, "Crazy, all crazy, 28 million paintings, my God, no, I have to drink some wine to suppress the shock." >> bar__w·w'w'.-y-a-w·e·n=8=.=c=o=m"
The auction downstairs is in full swing, everyone shouts at the top of their voices, completely without their usual demeanor, this Baoyi's auction is the most grand in the past ten years, the auction items are more precious and rare, no wonder these people are so crazy, treasures for collectors, no less than the thirty-year-old virgin - the first time a man sees a woman's naked body.
The auction was held for more than an hour, and Feng Fei's wine still did not appear, and at this time, the price of the auction item had reached a sky-high price of more than 80 million.
It's a pity that Zhao Jiafeng left after bringing Feng Fei to the private room, otherwise you could ask him, until the last collection was finished, Feng Fei's wine still did not appear.
Not only Feng Fei wondered, but there were also some people present who were not antique collectors, but people who loved wine collection, and came to admire the century-old wine, who knew that it had not appeared, it stands to reason that it is impossible for such a large company as Baoyi Auction House to make mistakes.
Just as the auctioneer was about to announce the end, some people finally couldn't help it, Li Hui stood up first and shouted loudly, "Wait a minute, why is it over?" Don't you know that there's one less auction item? ”
The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, glanced at the list of auction items in his hand, and said with a smile, "This gentleman is really joking, there are a total of twenty-four collections in this auction, and they have all been auctioned just now, how can there be one left?"
"What twenty-four pieces, twenty-five pieces are clearly written on this."
"That's right, twenty-five pieces, why didn't you take out the wine that has been stored in the jar for a hundred years?"
"That's right, how could Baoyi make such a low-level mistake this time?"
"It's not like you're bluffing, there's no hundred-year-old wine at all."
The auctioneer took the auction lot sign sent by one of them and looked at it, and was dumbfounded, "What's going on?" The auction list for me is obviously twenty-four, why did you give you twenty-five?? ”
When everyone heard this, it was really a mistake in Baoyi Auction House, and they accused Baoyi of being irresponsible to customers, and asked the boss to come out and give an explanation.
The auctioneer hurriedly calmed everyone, and then asked the staff to ask what was going on, and a few minutes later the man came back and whispered to the auctioneer, and the people below were puzzled, and the discussion became more and more intense.
"Everyone, just now we went to ask the company's executives, and got a surprising news, this is the first time since the establishment of Baoyi Auction House, there is indeed a jar of twenty catties of century-old wine, and it is indeed as advertised, brewed in 1915, because I don't know what chemical reaction occurred during the preservation process, resulting in a special substance, according to our expert testing, has an anti-aging effect,"
The auctioneer paused and continued, "But this jar of century-old wine, which originally had a starting price of 5 million, was directly bought at a high price ten minutes before the auction began. ”
As soon as these words came out, the pot immediately exploded below.
"What?? Bought in advance? What is this called?"
"That's right, the auction item was bought in advance, how can you Baoyi do such a thing? Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation? ”
"If the auction item can be bought directly, what else do you want to do at auction?"
The auctioneer struck the hammer hard and shouted "Quiet! Everyone, be quiet! We are also helpless at Baoyi Auction House, because it is not a private person or an enterprise that buys it, but the relevant departments of the state, and we are inconvenient to disclose the specific details."
"And the price offered by the other party is 80 million, I think everyone here will definitely not bid 80 million to buy a jar of self-brewed sorghum shochu, even if it has a hundred years of history and anti-aging effects, it is definitely not worth a piece of calligraphy and painting of the Song Dynasty, and anti-aging is not immortality, long-term use can have some effect, twenty catties is far from having any anti-aging effect,"
Everyone thought about it, it was really like this, if not, there would be no it, since it was bought by the mysterious relevant departments, what else could they say, they were just speculating, could there really be anything special about this wine, which was worthy of the state to come forward to buy.
The most depressed is Li Hui and Wang Tengfei, from the very beginning the two were waiting for the appearance of the century-old wine, so that the previous auction items did not participate in the bidding.
