Chapter 82 [Falling Short? 】
There were about twelve rows of seats, and there were not many people in the first and last rows, so after a little observation, I walked slowly to the back end, sat down firmly in the sponge-cushioned red chair at the corner of the last row, and when I looked up, my eyes met the eyes of a few acquaintances. First of all, the fat boss of Juxingzhai in the front row, he may have arrived with me before and after, but because I had some unpleasant things with him, I looked at each other, and they separated again without saying hello, and then the red-haired woman and her boyfriend who stepped on my foot at the door of the hotel that day, I saw that she seemed to snort softly, glanced at me, and twisted her neck back. The last acquaintance was Yan Wanru, who sat diagonally across from me in the row, not too far away.
"You're here too?" Yan Wanru glanced at me strangely, and then looked at my hand: "Hey, where is the auction card?" ”
As a general rule, it is impossible to enter the main venue without an auction card," ...... Uh, I asked someone to come in. ”
Yan Wanru sighed, didn't talk to me more, but turned her head to talk about the lot with Mr. Liu, a cultural relics appraisal expert I had met in Yanjing Antique City on the day of my rebirth. Most of the audience's attention was focused on the large LCD screen scrolling through the auction screen, and only a few people secretly looked at Yan Wanru. Most of the people who can come in here are people with status, so naturally they won't rush to get an autograph when they see Yan Wanru like other ordinary people, otherwise it will be too low.
"Mr. Yan, how about that Ming Hongzhi yellow glaze straight mouth plate? How many do you think you can get? ”
"Miss Yan, please ask, is the Qing Kangxi underglaze three-color landscape pen holder right?"
Perhaps, compared to the think tank they brought, several big bosses who were closer to Yan Wanru were more willing to believe in her eyesight.
Yan Wanru smiled gently: "What you two said, I saw it during the preview, it was very open, it was very rare, but if you want me to predict the price, I'm sorry, I can't help it, the antique thing fluctuates too much, if you meet someone who likes it, the amount is several times higher than the market price can also be auctioned." ”
The atmosphere of the on-site exchange was very good, and probably I was the only one whose mind was not in the room.
At this time, a woman with perm in a short-sleeved black suit walked slowly onto the stage and held the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, leaders, guests, good evening, welcome to the summer porcelain special auction held by Hanhai Auction Company, I am honored that today's auction will be hammered by me for everyone, I am Li Na, a national registered auctioneer, my qualification certificate number is 17009920, this is my auctioneer qualification certificate, please supervise." As she spoke, she took out a small blue book from the cloth bag on the stage that was similar to the medical insurance book, and shook it at everyone, "Next, I will count the number plates, and at the same time as I count the name, please raise the card to thank you for your cooperation, well, No. 239." ”
A man in casual clothes held up a sign.
The auctioneer said, "Okay, thank you, number 133." ”
After confirming the number plates of everyone present, the auctioneer briefly described the auction rules with the big screen, and then rushed to the topic: "...... Today's first lot, is the Song Yaozhou kiln sauce glaze pot, it is fine, well-preserved, is a rare boutique in the kiln, there is a certificate issued by the Chinese family cultural relics appraisal committee, certificate number Beijing A109077, the starting price, 110,000 yuan. "The auction rules are that each time you raise a card, you will increase the price by 10,000, if you want to jump below the fixed price increase value, then you must shout the price with your mouth while raising the card.
The auction begins.
"120,000...... 130,000 ...... Over there, 140,000 ...... Okay, is there anything higher...... 140,000 once, 140,000 taels...... One hundred and fifty thousand, and the number 131 gives one hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand...... Oh, 160,000...... Here, 170,000, No. 266 bid 170,000...... 170,000 once, 170,000 twice...... Are there no competitors...... 170,000 ...... 170,000 three times, deal! As the auctioneer dropped the hammer, there were bursts of applause in the venue, and everyone politely congratulated No. 266.
I thought that auctioning things was a very slow thing, but who would have thought that after a few crackling words, it would be over?
Five minutes is useless!
Of course, I hope that the slower the auction of these lots, the better, so that there may be a few more minutes to restore the Yuan blue and white jar. Please, everyone, can the competition be a little more fierce?
The image of the large LCD screen was changed, "...... Well, the following is the second lot, Qing Kangxi underglaze three-color landscape pen holder, this product is 15.5 cm high, it is a scholar's utensils, cylindrical, straight wall, the bottom is glazed without a paragraph, the abdomen underglaze three-color full painted landscape map, the landscape and the characters are integrated, and it adds to the literati interest of the picture, with a strong artistic conception of beauty, well, the starting price, 280,000 yuan. ”
Time passed little by little, and the lots were taken away one by one at a speed that caught me off guard, without even hitting them. From beginning to end, among the few people I know, except for the woman who raised the card twice on the underglaze three-color landscape pen holder, Yan Wanru and the fat boss have never touched the number plate in their hands, and it seems that their favorite things have not yet appeared.
At a quarter past eight, there were only forty-five minutes left until the auction ended.
Waiting is a very torturous thing, in this air-conditioned banquet hall with a lot of cold air, I kept wiping the sweat on my neck, like sitting on pins and needles to exchange the cocked legs, I couldn't hide the impatience in my heart. This twist and turn is indeed too heavy and depressing for me who is not yet 22 years old, but I think that this is not a test and tempering for me?
People always grow up in making mistakes.
Papapa, blabla, applause, "...... Let's congratulate No. 167, okay, the next one is Ming Hongzhi yellow glaze straight mouth plate ......"
At 8:25, my heart rate gradually increased a little uncontrollably.
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, I took out my phone to look at my watch, hesitated for a while, and still dialed Mr. Peng.
"There is more than half an hour left, Uncle Peng, how is the situation on your side?"
"Well, it's not good." There was an indescribable frustration in his voice.
"Haven't you spliced and glued yet?"
"I just went in with the chairman to take a look, not to mention the gluing, the separation of the bottom foot and the imitation jar has not been completed, and asked Ma Lao, but he just kept shaking his head, maybe ...... Alas...... It may really not be in time. ”
I chuckled in my heart, finally, or did I fall short?
The starting price of Yuan Qinghua agreed in the contract is 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent to my cost, if it is too late today, even if I change to another auction house and get a high price of 500,000 yuan the next day, I still owe Hanhai a lot of money.
Bah! Think of that unlucky thing! Isn't there still half an hour left?
I leaned back in my chair, hoping for a miracle.
