Chapter 177: The Auction Begins
Chapter 177 starts the auction
At this time, everyone stood up and prepared to go to the auction hall, and Sima Liang had time to take a look at the lounge. The www.biquge.info found that there were almost 60 people coming, and it seemed that this was a large-scale auction. As the flow of people followed, they arrived at the auction hall in a short time.
In Sima Liang's imagination, the auction hall was an auction table, and then there were rows of hard chairs underneath. As a result, when he entered the auction hall, Sima Liang realized how wrong he was.
I saw that it was arranged like a conference room, and there was a notebook on the table for each seat. The place to sit is not a hard chair, but a sofa neatly arranged. Looking at the size of the space, it can accommodate about 100 people.
Seeing the sofas and notebooks in the hall, Sima Liang had to sigh that it was specially used to hold an auction. The facilities in this are in line with the identity of the rich man, like the hard chair on the TV, which can only be tolerated by the silk, and who will the rich show up on that occasion and lose their share.
Xia Linghan greeted Sima Liang and Dongfang Yuwei and came to the seats in the first row. After choosing a seat and sitting down in the aisle, Sima Liang quietly said to Dongfang Yuwei on the side.
"Baby, how to operate this, you teach me. I've never come across such a tall place. ”
Seeing Sima Liang's helpless appearance, Dongfang Yuwei covered her mouth and laughed. But after laughing for a while, she began to teach, and only then did Sima Liang know.
The notebook is a picture of all the lots this time, which can be checked in advance, and if you meet a favorite, you can observe it carefully. That way, when the lot is brought out, people don't have to go up to the stage to see it. Something bad was avoided, otherwise it would be a real thing to say if someone accidentally broke the lot.
Hearing this, Sima Liang hurriedly opened the notebook, and he made a decision before coming this time. That is to buy all the antiques this time, after all, with the fortune system, he knows the price of these antiques, and he can also know whether they are genuine.
The identification of the real and the fake is very simple, that is, the auction house gives a low price, and the system does not show it, then there are only two possibilities. The first is that the auction house's valuation is too high, and the second is that the auction house's master is eye-catching. So as long as the system doesn't show it, Sima Liang won't make a move.
And according to the rules of the system, it will only be displayed if there is more than 50% of the profit. Auction houses generally set the price of the lot very low, usually a fraction of the estimated price. Leaving room is for buyers to compete for, and if the offer is the market price, how can buyers make a move.
Sima Liang can use this rule to calculate the price of antiques given by the system. In this way, he has a foundation in his heart, and as long as the price is not too high, he is ready to shoot it all. After all, the antique market is in full swing now, and the price may rise after a while.
At this time, a man in a suit in his 40s walked up to the auction table, only to see him pick up the auction hammer on the table and knock it gently. A crisp sound of 'dong' reverberated through the auction hall, marking the official start of the auction. And at this time, the voices that were talking about it just now are also quiet.
The auctioneer did not immediately invite the lot, but talked about the main content of this time, and some precautions and other due meanings. In the process, the waiters came in and began to set up food such as fruits, snacks and mineral water in people's seats.
And, of course, the most important signs, and soon the waiters withdrew, and at this point the auctioneer ended his speech in time. It all seems to be in order, and it is worthy of being a place where auctions are often held.
'Knock knock'
The auctioneer knocked a few more times, only to see that his expression began to become serious, and then shouted loudly in a deep voice: "Please come to the first lot." ”
At this time, the small door next to it was pushed open from the outside, and a waitress held a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and cautiously walked to the auction table. Then he and the auctioneer cautiously opened the calligraphy and painting, displayed it for a while, and then cautiously put it away. Then the waiter stepped aside, and the auctioneer began to explain the origin of the calligraphy and painting.
This is a masterpiece of Mr. Zhang Daqian, imitating the frolicking picture of the spring garden painted by the Ming Dynasty painter Feng Tang. This is a typical picture of the Ming Dynasty, when the ladies were in the garden...... The low price of this lot is 20 million, and each price increase shall not be less than 1 million. ”
The auctioneer introduced the origin of the painting on it, of course, these Sima Liang already knew it through his notebook, but the auctioneer's words are also an indispensable part. It stands to reason that the first lot can also be used to suppress the market, how can a copy be produced.
This has to talk about the Tao inside, in people's perception, imitation is definitely not as valuable as the original. This is true for others, but there is one person who draws a copy that is worth more than the original. He is Zhang Daqian, a Chinese ink painter and calligrapher, who is praised by the Western art world as the "Oriental Brush".
When the auctioneer broke the low price, the buyers below raised their signs. began to scramble for offers, for fear that it would be too late to be preempted by others.
"21 million."
"25 million."
"28 million."
However, Sima Liang didn't make any moves, he knew that it was just a warm-up, and the real competition hadn't started yet. Anyway, when the price shouted to 35 million, the system was still displaying this painting.
But when someone shouted 40 million, this Zhang Daqian's frolicking painting of the Spring Garden disappeared from the system. According to the rules of the system, Sima Liang quickly calculated that the true value of this painting was about 60 million.
"52 million."
"53 million."
Now there are only two sellers on the field shouting, but it is also the lowest price of 1 million that is increasing. And judging from the time between them and the tone of their shouting, they were also obviously hesitant. It seems that everyone has a rough estimate of the true value of this painting in their hearts.
At this time, Sima Liang decided to make a move, he picked up the sign on the table, raised it high, and shouted out a maximum price at the same time.
"60 million."
As soon as this 60 million came out, the auction hall was silent. In particular, the two who were bidding were still hesitant to add more. Now it's okay, I didn't expect a local tyrant to come out halfway, and directly pushed the price to 60 million. exceeded their expectations too much, so what was there to fight for, so they simply put down the sign in their hands.
