Chapter Seventy-Six: The Birth of Big Money
White gloves refer to super auctioneers who have achieved a 100% sell-through rate in a certain special auction activity.
The salary of auctioneers is still very high, small cities can easily exceed 3,000, and big cities can easily exceed 10,000, and white gloves in addition to the appearance fee, many times there will be an auction commission after a certain price.
Of course, white gloves are also graded, for example, some special auctions in Xiangjiang with a total auction amount of only tens of millions of yuan will also issue white gloves, but it is not the same grade as the white gloves where hundreds of millions of US dollars of auction items often appear in Europe and the United States.
The reason why Tang Hai participated in the 'Xiangjiang Asia-Pacific Spring Auction' was held in May was actually to avoid those super-large auction companies, which was a very far-sighted move.
The auctioneer was the white glove of the 'Asia-Pacific 4th Anniversary Auction' held in Xiangjiang in 2013, and the total transaction amount reached 1.1 billion yuan, which was a sensation in Xiangjiang.
The reason why 4 pieces were not sold before today's spring auction is mainly because this is Seattle, and there are relatively few wealthy Chinese people who come.
With each item, the auctioneer can already tell who is roughly interested in it and how much it will cost to buy it.
He is very attentive to this porcelain, and the English meaning of China is 'porcelain'!
Chinese understand that porcelain is a good thing, and Americans will also want to buy a word to take home something from China! Of course, made_in_China exception......
According to the introduction, the originator, pioneer, template, and initial number of Chenghua folk kiln are also the change kiln, that is, the unexpected variant when the kiln is fired, which is absolutely unique.
Although it is a folk kiln, this is a pioneer of a skill after all, and the phenomenon of kiln change makes the boy fly a kite vividly.
The auctioneer demonstrated the GIF of 'flying a kite', and then Tang Hai clearly felt that something was wrong with the people around him!
', what's going on, isn't it an ordinary folk kiln? ’
"Now that everyone has seen the preciousness of this antique, it may be difficult to find a second 'moving' piece of ancient porcelain in the world! The starting price is $200,000, and each price increase must not be less than $20,000! "The auctioneer was a little pressured, and the whole group agreed that this thing should start at 80,000 yuan, but he thought of the gold-painted pastel pot that was identified as 'a broken and suspected imitation of the Republic of China period worth only 800 US dollars', and finally sold for 18 million US dollars, and he felt that this bottle had similar potential.
"300,000!" Big Brother is really powerful, the first to make a move, and he is worthy of being the person who donated hundreds of millions of donations!
"320,000!" Li Lianjie also followed the offer! He also specially studied that to assess everyone's mentality, as long as it exceeds the price of things a little bit, it will be cost-effective.
"500,000!" Tang Hai felt that the familiar person had gone into battle!
Li Lianjie suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, he might as well not study it! Everyone adds hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands, will he be laughed at if he adds 20,000?
Forget it, abstain, it's not a Buddha bead, there's no need to scramble......
"1 million!" Brother Long then directly raised 500,000!
Tang Hai was stunned, what the hell is going on, isn't this bottle a folk kiln!
Several Americans also followed the offer, but after the price exceeded 3 million, they all shook their heads and retreated.
Tang Hai already feels that his worldview has collapsed, don't these people treat money as money! It's just a thin bottle! It's not thick enough to smash people!
In fact, this is not the first time this has happened, in 2011, there was a statue that was identified as 'suspected to be made in the Republic of China, There are many cracks and later made up for the amphora, at Sotheby's Spring Auction in New York, at a price tag of 800 US dollars, because this thing in the Forbidden City and the Treasure Island Forbidden City have similar things, so many Chinese billionaires who don't care about money have a hard time, the British and American billionaires stopped at the price of hundreds of thousands, and then watched in amazement as the thing was sold for $16 million, and buyers in the United States need to increase their own taxes, and finally a total of 18 million......
This time it's obviously the same!
The on-site commissioned auction hotline is busy!
The price has reached 6 million!
Everyone was so welcoming!
"6.66 million!" The man in the first row broke out an auspicious number, and according to the habits of Chinese, if he made a deal with this number, he would definitely be very happy.
After all, there is no similar thing in the Forbidden City for Tang Hai, and the pattern is relatively simple, and this is not New York, and now only Cheng Long is still competing with him.
"8.88 million!" Brother Long is still continuing, it's really an attacking Brother Long!
Tang Hai was already trembling with excitement!
Cheng Long is a man, if it is a woman, we will also make a promise at the age of fifty!
Wait, isn't there a little dragon girl......
The mysterious man glanced back at Cheng Long who was directly behind him, and Cheng Long was very resolute.
Of course, resolute, how can a person who is not resolute add more than 2 million in one go.
With the habits of the Chinese, it is difficult to increase the price to get the auspicious number, and I don't know what Cheng Long's bottom line is, think that Cheng Long will participate in various auctions if he has nothing to do, and he is keen to collect national treasures, and he does not have this kind of paranoia, so he gave up.
"8.88 million for the first time!" The auctioneer also stared at the man like Tang Hai, as long as the auction price of this thing exceeded 3 million, he would have a commission, and he also wanted to ask for more money!
After waiting for half a minute, he continued: "8.88 million for the second time!" The tone was very frustrating.
Then, his tone became cheerful again: "8.88 million for the third time, deal!" Congratulations, Chen, you brought porcelain back to China! ”
Because he spoke English, it sounded like 'bring China back to China', Tang Hai felt a little strange, but many people showed smiling faces, and the laughter was really low.
Cheng Long duang, his hair swayed in general, and he hugged his fists with a bit of a river and lake atmosphere.
Tang Hai is what the book says, his chest is thunderous and his face is like a peaceful lake, if he only sells three or five hundred thousand, he may be happy to get a report, but after selling more than eight million, his face calmed down.
Marlena just thought he was stupid with joy, and her little hand shook in front of him.
"How?"
"Are you overjoyed?"
"Just kidding! I've seen the world! By the way, aren't you going to see the stars, do you want to ask who wants to take a group photo? ”
"I just want to see how ugly they are if they don't Ps."
“……”
In the next three finale auctions, there are actually two bottles that sell at prices that are not as good as Tang Hai!
However, with the urine nature of my country's media, the price of things will definitely be converted into RMB in the end, so that the transaction volume of only 20 million or 30 million yuan will become a good start of more than 100 million......
When the auction was over, after all kinds of handovers and taxes, he went out and saw Cheng Long again, the latter was now in high spirits, and Tang Hai greeted him when he passed by, and he actually took the initiative to find a topic to chat.
"Little brother, why don't you buy something? Doesn't you seem to have shouted the price once? ”
"Heh, little brother, I'm here to sell things, Brother Long, the Chenghua kiln you bought is mine."
"Ah, that's really, fate! This is my business card, brother, do you have any good things next time, call me directly, and save taxes, right? ”
Cheng Long gave the business card, this Tang Hai is really not surprised, how much is 888 US dollars converted into RMB? Isn't it worth a business card?
However, Tang Hai didn't think he would have much communication with Cheng Long, after all, everyone's circle was different, he made movies and raised fish by himself.
How to say that he is also a favorite star, Tang Hai asked if he could take a group photo and sign an autograph, of course this little thing is no problem, Ma Lena took Polaroid and helped take a photo, Cheng Long asked Tang Hai some information, and wrote casually: "I wish my friend Tang Hai will one day become the greatest fisherman." ”
Tang Hai accepted it with a smile.
"By the way, why do I feel that little brother you are a little familiar?" When it was time to separate, Cheng Long finally couldn't help but ask this question.
"Hehe, many people say that I look like Gu Tianle."
When he was far away, Cheng Longcai's face suddenly changed: "Ouch,! ”
