Chapter 154: The Road is High!
Lin Dong did not go to the conference hall. With the current size of the Changying Group www.biquge.info he is actually not suitable for a president to show up often. Not only him, but even He Dongcheng, Ji Yao, Zheng Hong and others are not suitable to preside over the auction on such an occasion - according to the usual parlance, it will seem very low.
However, Lin Dong has naturally been paying attention to the trends here. He was in a monitoring room in the Changying Mansion at this time. There are several cameras that frame and show the entire auction hall and reception rooms from all angles.
Some unusual behaviors of the guests in the living room naturally fell into Lin Dong's eyes, but he was only slightly surprised, but he didn't do anything.
After a while, He Dongcheng came up again, and when he saw Lin Dong looking at the surveillance, he reported: "The experts agree with our opinion very much, and they also believe that the archaeological and research value is higher than the commercial value in the current market. That's fine. β
"That's good." Lin Dong nodded, "Look at the few left at the door." The auction will begin immediately. I guess it might be a bit of a hassle, or maybe a little bit of excitement, so you bring your headset. I'll get back to you if necessary...... Remember, the quota is in our hands, and we must not let those guys grasp the initiative, and when necessary, we would rather put this situation on hold indefinitely than let those guys' conspiracy succeed! β
He Dongcheng's expression was grim and he asked, "What's the situation?" Someone is ready to do something? β
"Let's prepare!" Lin Dong was not completely sure, after all, what he saw just now was only the appearance, and he didn't hear the actual content, and those people were very careful, and it was not easy to find evidence, "Didn't He Chong at the door report that someone was trying to bring a bomb into the venue?" Since there is such a suspicion of hard conflict, it is inevitable that there will be a soft conspiracy. Since we are preparing for such a big auction, we have to be prepared to deal with all kinds of challenges. If necessary, you can simply interrupt the bidding! The initiative is in our hands, and no one else is allowed to do things! β
This was the second time that Lin Dong emphasized that He Dongcheng had already felt the meaning, he nodded, went out to bring a headset, and then walked to the venue.
At this time, the identification of those experts had completely ended, and Lin Dong saw several professors with excited and incredulous looks on their faces from the monitoring screen, and was a little curious, what made them so moved?
When the time came, under the prompting of the staff, the participants in the auction entered the venue.
The presiding officer of the auction was a middle-level manager of the external propaganda department of Changying Group, who had served as the director of the external relations department of a large state-owned enterprise, but because he did not like the dull life of state-owned enterprises, he directly jumped to Changying Group.
I have work experience, although it is the first time to host such an auction, and I am also very excited, but the manager surnamed Zhang has done a lot of preparations, looked at the people who are talking to each other, coughed lightly, and then picked up the small wooden hammer on the table and tapped it, and said loudly: "Now the auction conference begins, please invite experts to sit down!" β
The setting of the hall is very simple, the host is on the side of the rostrum in front of the left, and in the middle of the rostrum is the expert seat, which is the kind of seat that separates one seat, so that the experts can get up and identify the cultural relics. The expert bench is facing the bidders, and in the middle of the two is a small platform, which is very large, and each bidder will put their cultural relics here for the experts to see.
Behind the expert is a huge screen, and the things displayed on the stage and the expert's explanation will be played to everyone through this big screen.
In fact, there were more than 100 bidders and reporters present, and the hall seemed a little empty, but the Changying Group obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After the experts sat down one by one, Manager Zhang continued: "Today, through the preliminary selection of experts, there are currently 56 bidders who have met the basic criteria and can participate in today's auction. Now the auction begins, the first spot, please bid! β
Not everyone in the auction puts their stuff out for the experts to appraise and get the highest value. These people who come to bid are not stupid, they will also hope to get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, such as taking five cultural relics, if they can exchange four cultural relics for a quota, who will be stupid to hand over the rest?
That's why we put up bids.
And among these bidders, some people who often go around in the upper circles are naturally accustomed to bidding and are very familiar with the routines, while others are civilians, in general, the ratio of civilians and non-civilians is about one to two, and those civilians have only watched the auction in film and television programs, so this occasion naturally feels very fresh.
Therefore, as soon as Manager Zhang's words fell, someone raised his hand: "I'll make three porcelain plates!" Blue and white porcelain plate! β
Everyone present, including the reporters, wore universal synchronous translation headphones produced by Changying Group, so the host's words did not need to be translated at all, and these bidders and those in charge of the interview understood it.
Manager Zhang looked at the number plate held up by the person, and said with a smile: "There are three blue and white porcelain plates on the 27th, okay, is there a higher price?" β
"I took out two blue and white porcelain vases and a bronze incense burner!" The other man held up the number plate and said triumphantly, "That bronze incense burner is very nice - I thought it was a special bowl for eating!" β
"Hahahaha!"
This guy's words caused many people present to laugh. Foreigners are more extroverted, not as introverted as Chinese, and regard modesty as a virtue, which is a humanistic characteristic. These two people made a good start to the auction, and immediately many people participated in the auction, and the things they bid on were also sent to the small platform one by one, and the experts began to concentrate on appraising them at this time.
Seeing that from time to time someone held up a sign and sent the cultural relics they brought to the platform, the original few white people in tandem were a little displeased, but the tall white man quickly calmed down, and he could see that the people participating in the auction were civilians, not those they had just lobbied. And these people are already small in number, and they have already raised one-third of their hands in this moment, and it is estimated that it will not be long before this excitement will pass.
And judging from the experts' explanations, although the collections taken out by these people are large and varied, the real value is not very high.
At present, the most valuable is just a landscape painting by Huizong of the Song Dynasty - although this is already very rare and famous and valuable, but this is an example after all, most of the others are porcelain in folk kilns and cultural relics in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which are not very valuable.
However, the experts were already very excitedβit was worth it anyway to be able to see Song Huizong's words here!
Lin Dong also smiled when he saw the enthusiasm of these civilians participating in the auction in the surveillance, sure enough, not everyone can be controlled by those people!
