Chapter 634: Coming out on top
This kind of special auction rules that dominate the routine is indeed easy to arouse people's curiosity and even make people feel a special kind of excitement, but it also has great drawbacks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
What if, everybody saves their money for the last lot, and as a result, the first few lots are sold too low. Or, everyone wasted their funds on the first few auction items, and for the last auction item that appeared and was the most valuable, everyone had limited funds in their hands, but they couldn't get a high price.
There is another possibility, that is, because everyone does not know what is going to be auctioned, and the funds may not be very sufficient, so if there is really a favorable time, place and people, it is almost impossible for two local tycoons to bid at a high price for an auction item.
In fact, in Wang Yang's view, no matter how you look at it, you feel that this auction rule greatly restricts the final transaction price of each lot.
But in fact, this kind of small auction hidden under the big charity auction has been held for several times, and it is impossible for the organizers behind it not to be unaware of the problems involved.
The reason why they know that such auction rules will do more harm than good, but still adhere to such rules, is naturally their intention.
Wang Yang took a look at Zheng Shubao, he was clear about the rules here, obviously it was not the first time he came, could it be that the things auctioned here were really a little special?
Patient, Wang Yang waited for the auctioneer named Junichiro Qiandao to come up with the first auction item.
As soon as Junichiro Chishima knocked down the gavel and announced the start of the auction, several staff members came over with a stack of albums and distributed them to everyone present.
Junichiro Chishima waited quietly at the auction table. Wang Yang lowered his head and looked at the album that had just been sent to him.
After opening. The first page of the catalogue is the name and pattern of the first thing to be auctioned today.
Eighteen sets of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments.
As for the back. It is the result of each firm result of this total of eighteen Hetian jade fan ornaments and its introduction.
"Yo, that's a good thing."
Zheng Shubao next to him opened the album and took a look at it, and he was surprised.
Wang Yang didn't know much about this kind of jade ornament, so he turned to the back of the atlas and looked at it, and the back pages of the album were introduced in great detail.
Hetian jade is mainly divided into four kinds of white jade, jasper, black jade and topaz, the color of white jade is white, delicate, slightly transparent and like mutton fat, and there is a color of dark gray-green to blue-green among green jade and white jade. The opaque over-type jade species is called green and white jade.
These eighteen pieces of Hetian jade Shanzi ornaments are all made of the best mutton fat white jade in Hetian jade, and they are also the output of Qijiakeng.
Originally, in the jade carving industry, these white jade materials produced in the mountains were divided into types by mines. Such as Qijiakeng, Yangjiakeng, Kaqiangkeng...... Among them, the jade produced by Qijiakeng is white and moist, which is a well-known good material.
As for its engraver, it is not indicated in the catalogue, only on the last page, it is marked that its lowest starting price this time is 2.7 million.
Wang Yang had little interest in this jade carving ornament. But Zheng Shubao was more interested, and he came over to explain to Wang Yang: "Master Wang." The starting price of these eighteen Hetian Yushanzi ornaments is 2.7 million, on average, which is equal to only 200,000 pieces of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments. ā
"Why isn't it marked in this catalogue as the work of that famous artist?" Wang Yang didn't see the provenance of these eighteen Hetian Yushanzi ornaments, and thought that he hadn't found them, so he looked at the album again.
"Haha, Master Wang, that's where this auction comes in." Zheng Shubao threw the album he had finished reading on the table, and then explained to Wang Yang; "Although the auction only auctions a maximum of five items at a time, each item withholds a little bit of the most important information from the explanatory brochure that is sent out. In other words, you may pay a high price for a less-than-valuable inferior item, or you may spend very little money on a rare item. ā
Wang Yang frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "But isn't the auction afraid that you businessmen are reluctant to bid at a high price and cause the auction to fail?" ā
"Of course not, if you don't believe it, Master Wang, you will know when you look back."
Zheng Shubao didn't explain this to Wang Yang, but sold a pass to ask Wang Yang to wait patiently.
After about five or six minutes, the staff behind them held a glass display case to the auction table, through the glass display case, the eighteen Shanzi and Tian jade ornaments came to life, such as mutton fat white jade, carved a pair of cranes, under the feet of the two cranes, a carp jumped out of the water, and the tail of the fish even carried a series of water droplets.
Although Wang Yang is not interested in this jade carving ornament, he has to praise it when he sees it, it is really exquisite.
"Distinguished gentlemen, I believe that you already know about this Hetian Yushanzi ornament. And this is only one of the eighteen pieces on display, so you can think about the price point in your mind for a moment. After a brief introduction, Junichiro Chishima paused, and then said: "As with the previous rules, in five minutes, the display screens on both sides will light up, and then everyone will start bidding." ā
As soon as his words fell, the sound of small discussions immediately sounded in the living room.
"Good guy, looking at the quality, it seems to be the work of Mr. Song Shiyi, could it be that the remaining seventeen pieces of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments are all works of Mr. Song Shiyi?"
Zheng Shubao glanced at the jade carving ornaments on the platform, and couldn't take his eyes off.
"Is there anything special about this?" Wang Yang asked curiously.
Uncle Zheng didn't reply, his eyes kept staring at the Hetian Yushanzi ornament, and he replied after a long time; "Take this Hetian Yushanzi ornament as an example, if it is the work of Mr. Song Shiyi, a famous jade carver, it can be auctioned for a price of 300,000 yuan three years ago, and it is worth 450,000 yuan now. The most rare thing is that if the remaining seventeen sets of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments are all from the hands of Mr. Song Shiyi...... Then this set of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments, the price will only double up! But if they are not from the hands of Mr. Song Shiyi, but by some other unknown jade carving master, then the price will be much lower. ā
After speaking, he felt sorry for himself, shook his head and said: "Just this one thing, if you want to take it, I'm afraid you will have to consume all the reserve funds in your hand, and if there is any treasure left, I'm afraid you will miss it." ā
So that's the case, and now Wang Yang knows why Zheng Shubao wasn't worried about the unsuccessful auction just now.
There will always be people in the spirit of gambling to raise the price, if these eighteen pieces of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments from Mr. Song Shiyi or the same famous hand as Mr. Song Shiyi, it will only make a lot of money, but in other words, even if it is not from the hand of a famous artist, but eighteen sets of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments of this quality are also a lot of value.
After making trouble for a long time, the intention of this auction is here, Wang Yang couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he only felt that these rich people really knew how to play, and the auction point would be like gambling when they were collected.
After a short discussion, the large LCD screens on both sides of the auction table also lit up, and Junichiro Chishima also opened his mouth to announce the start of the auction.
At this time, no one spoke anymore, and many people picked up the remote control on the table and pressed it.
A set of numbers began to pop up on the screens on both sides, from 2.7 million to 3 million, 3.5 million, 3.7 million, but after a while, it was added to 5 million, and after 5 million, many of them shook their heads and put down the remote control in their hands, and the increasing numbers on the display screen slowed down.
The whole process was silent, and Wang Yang suddenly found that this auction was really very distinctive, and there was no tension at all in his impression of the non-stop bidding auction.
Seeing that Wang Yang didn't seem to be interested, Zheng Shubao said, "Master Wang, if you are not interested in this ornament, I will have to do it." ā
made a gesture of please, and Wang Yang, who was bored, swept towards Qi Xiangnan slightly.
That Qi Xiangnan was not interested in this jade carving ornament at all, and the atlas sent to his seat had not even opened it until now, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he was sitting there with his eyes closed.
However, a few people around him, similar to Zheng Shubao, looked at the album in his hand and showed great interest.
Ouyang Haoxin and the three of them reacted similarly to Wang Yang, on the surface, they were not interested in this Hetian Yushanzi ornament, but in fact they were still secretly monitoring Qi Xiangnan's every move.
The number on the LCD screen quickly increased to eight million, and by this point, basically the numbers on the screen had stopped moving.
Junichiro Qiandao has an ipad in his hand, which is obviously connected to the large screen, seeing that the numbers on it are no longer added, he smiled slightly, knocked on the table with the mallet in his hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that no one plans to increase the price anymore, so let me ask again, have you decided not to increase the price again?" ā
The numbers on the screen still haven't changed, and after Chishima Junichiro asked the three sides, the gavel in his hand fell for the third time, and he smiled and said: "Then I want to congratulate this buyer who won these eighteen Hetian Yushanzi ornaments with eight million, these eighteen Hetian Yushanzi ornaments are all from the hands of the famous jade carver Mr. Song Shiyi, and the market price of eighteen sets is currently about 10 million!" ā
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Shubao couldn't help but be happy, and said: "I really didn't guess wrong, it's really Mr. Song Shiyi's eighteen sets of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments, and I have earned it."
There is no doubt that it was Zheng Shubao who bid 8 million to buy the eighteen sets of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments.
In this silent auction, he pulled out a good head.
