Chapter 176: Learning at the Auction
"Simple? I think you're the real pure. ”
Yu Feibai shook his head and said, "You must know that Zheng Yaxuan's auction is only publicized in Shudi. Fang Mingsheng was far away in Longhu Mountain, how did he know about this? I don't believe it, it's a coincidence. ”
"Perhaps, it's because you're thinking too much." Wang Guan hesitated. In fact, he also felt that this Fang Mingsheng was very likely to be directed at himself, to be precise, for his own purple sandalwood gloomy wood beads.
"Isn't it, wait until the auction is over, you'll know." Yu Feibai said, comforting at the same time, "However, you don't have to worry too much. In Longhu Mountain, we gave him three points. But here, he dares to mess around, and he is definitely looking for fun. ”
"Of course I'm not worried, I'm just afraid that he will be stalked and ghosted." Wang Guan reluctantly said about the knowledge at the auction in Chapter 176: "After all, I can't stay in Shudu for a long time, and I will have to go back sooner or later." ”
"This is also ......" Yu Feibai frowned, and pondered: "It's a pity, this kind of thing, Fang Mingsheng can't do too much, and the old man can't come forward to interfere and warn." ”
"There's no need to bother General Yu." Wang Guan hurriedly waved his hand, but he was very curious, and asked softly: "By the way, what is the background of this Fang Mingsheng, you and Uncle De seem to be very afraid of him." ”
"Not for him, but for the people behind him. His eldest brother is ......" Yu Feibai hesitated, stretched out his finger and pointed to it, and whispered his position and name.
"What, it's actually ......" Wang Guan was surprised, although he hadn't heard much of this person, it didn't prevent him from understanding how much authority this person had.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much."
However. Yu Feibai said calmly: "He is him, and his brother is his brother, so they can't be confused." If he makes too much trouble, provokes the crowd, and commits public anger, his brother will not be able to protect him. ”
Wang Guan didn't doubt this.
After all. There is still a clear difference between the nouveau riche and the children of the family. Take Wu You as an example, once he got his will. But he was arrogant, and naturally he was unlucky enough. However, in Chapter 176 of the auction, Wang Guan has known Yu Feibai for so long. Although I think his character is a little funny, his behavior is very restrained and does not make people feel annoying.
According to Yu Feibai, the Fang family is also a very well-established person, and Wang Guan has also been in contact with Fang Mingsheng, and he also feels that he is not the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals, but has a bit of grace.
Therefore, Wang Guan just felt that Fang Mingsheng was entangled and very troublesome. It's not that I'm afraid of persecution.
Just as the two were whispering, the seats in the auction hall were gradually filled. All of a sudden, the entire hall was full of people. It's very lively.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Suddenly, surrounded by several people, Zhao Qian walked onto the rostrum, patted the microphone, his face was full of smiles, and he said with a little excitement: "Hello everyone! I represent Zheng Yaxuan. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for coming......"
The people who participated in the auction also gave Zhao Qian face, and when he spoke, they slowly quieted down.
Of course, as a businessman, Zhao Qian will never make the mistake of being verbose and long-winded, and in a simple three or five sentences, he announced the start of the auction.
In the crowd of "pop, pop, pop......", I don't know who applauded first, and the others also clapped their hands. This is the so-called herd mentality, to put it bluntly, it is trust.
There is a trust in the auction, just like the leader has a sycophant speech, it is not an uncommon thing, everyone knows it. As for whether you can stay calm and not be fooled, it depends on your personal judgment.
After Zhao Qian left the stage, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with meticulously combed hair, holding a small mallet, appeared on the rostrum, facing everyone, with a faint smile on his face.
This person is the auctioneer who is in charge of this auction, and he is very experienced.
A qualified auctioneer will never be like the host of a TV commercial, with an exaggerated tone and a fierce range of movements, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is putting on a show.
A real auctioneer should be calm, with a very calm tone, only at critical moments, can he know how to master the rhythm of the auction, and he knows how to mobilize everyone's atmosphere when it is cold.
Therefore, after getting on the podium, the auctioneer did not talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "When the auction starts, first of all, please ask for the first lot." During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the blue and white entwined branches and lotus pattern porcelain plates. ”
In the auctioneer's introduction, the screen behind him began to cut into the high-definition image of the porcelain plate, including the foot, edge, inner wall, and outer wall of the porcelain plate, as well as the appraisal certificate of the authoritative organization, which were also displayed on the screen one by one.
All kinds of complete procedures have proved that this blue and white lotus pattern porcelain plate must be genuine.
After the introduction, the auctioneer looked around the audience, and his voice, which had been flat, suddenly increased: "The starting price is 100,000 yuan, and each bid shall not be less than 1,000 yuan, please bid!" ”
In an instant, many people exchanged heads and whispered to each other. The buzzing sound is like a swarm of flies flying.
The auctioneer didn't stop or urge, just waited quietly. After a minute or so, the electric sound of Didi Di Di appeared, and on the electronic display at the top of the screen, the first quotation appeared.
"One hundred and eleven thousand dollars."
On the rostrum, there was also a smaller display screen, and the auctioneer looked down and saw the price, and immediately reported it, and at the same time said in a calm tone: "The first soft offer, 101,000 yuan, is there a higher price......
"Tick!"
A few seconds later, a new price appeared on the large electronic display.
"105,000 yuan, 105,000 yuan ......"
"One hundred and eight thousand dollars, one hundred thousand ...... 110,000, 112,000 yuan......"
"130,000, 130,000, is there a higher price, now it's 130,000 yuan, 130,000 yuan for the first time...... 135,000 yuan, and now another 5,000 yuan has been added......"
In just a few minutes, the numbers on the display are constantly changing. Although the climb is not very large, it is indeed slowly increasing, and the display time of the digital amount is getting shorter and shorter.
Sometimes, the auctioneer is only about to quote a new price, and the other price squeezes out the previous amount. At the same time, the auctioneer's voice also changed from flat to rapid and high-pitched, which fully mobilized the bidding emotions of some people.
Wang Guan sat in the VIP seat, not very far away, so he also felt the same way. Inexplicably, I felt that there was a wonderful impulse, and I wanted to pick up the quotation instrument and enter a string of numbers.
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
Suddenly, the auctioneer smiled brightly and shouted loudly: "The latest price is 180,000, 180,000, is there a higher price than 180,000, 180,000, 180,000 for the first time, 180,000 for the first time, and there is no one to offer, 180,000 for the second time, 180,000 for the second time...... Two hundred thousand! ”
"The latest offer, 200,000 ...... Two hundred thousand! ”
The auctioneer's voice became more and more excited, but the number change on the display screen became slow. It seems that the price of 200,000 has reached the bottom line for most people.
Of course, there are two or three people, and they are still fighting. Between each other, a psychological tug-of-war was launched. In the end, when the price rose to 238,000 yuan, the auctioneer repeated repeatedly, and after shouting for half a minute, he saw that no one else had increased the price, so he made a final decision very simply.
"During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the blue and white entwined branch lotus pattern porcelain plate, 238,000 yuan, was sold."
The auctioneer's voice regained softening, smiled and clapped his hands, "Please congratulate this friend with applause." ”
"Pap, papa......"
Wang Guan applauded and said to Yu Feibai with a smile: "I feel that the bidding is very interesting, I am thinking about whether to try to participate in it later." ”
"Whatever, there are a lot of people who make soy sauce anyway." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "When the bidding is at its most intense, there will definitely be no danger if you quote a number that is not much different." But be sure to keep your mind clear and don't get addicted to playing. Lest you habitually enter a high price at the end and shoot something you don't want to shoot. ”
"Don't worry, I won't make such a low-level mistake." Wang Guan said with a smile.
In the next hour or so, more than 20 items were auctioned, and Wang Guan also participated in the bidding with great interest. However, I also pay great attention to proportion, and I quote in the first few minutes of the starting shooting, and when a few people compete in the back, I dare not participate.
After a long time, Wang Guan also has some enlightenment. Many people who participate in the offer may not just like this thing, but just think it is just fun like him. Therefore, invisibly, it also served as a support and pushed the price up.
It's no wonder that at auctions, they like to invite a large group of people to participate. It doesn't matter if you end up buying something or not, but having such an atmosphere will definitely drive up the price of many things.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the auctions have repeatedly set eye-popping sky-high prices.
"It's all knowledge." Wang Guan sighed.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed. Wang Guan doesn't remember the specific number of things he auctioned, anyway, he just knew that the price of the auction was getting higher and higher, and finally exceeded one million.
"Qing Kangxi Colorful Guanyinzun, 1.21 million yuan, deal!"
At this time, the auctioneer struck the gavel hard, took a breath, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Then, Zhao Qian walked up and said with a smile: "Everyone, the upper unit of the auction is temporarily over, and we will rest for two hours." At two o'clock in the afternoon, the next unit of the auction started on time. ”
"In the afternoon, there are four unique ink paintings: Qi Baishi's shrimp, Xu Beihong's horse, Li Keran's cow and Huang Zhou's donkey. In addition, there are Zhang Daqian's landscape paintings, and the last big axis, the original ink and bamboo drawings of Wen Tong, a generation of bamboo painting masters. Zhao Qian talked eloquently, his tone was full of demagogy, and he almost didn't shout directly, passing by, don't miss it.
"Is there such a saying about the four uniques of ink and wash?" Wang Guan was surprised.
"The latter two, presumably, are used to make up the number for the sake of foiling the hype." Yu Feibai said casually: "At halftime, let's go too." After eating, take a nap and come back, there is enough time. ”
"Okay."
Wang nodded, followed the flow of people with Yu Feibai, and slowly went outside. Unexpectedly, when he was in the corridor, he actually directly met Fang Mingsheng and his party. (To be continued)RQ!!
