Chapter XVIII Auctions
It is common sense that an auction will make an announcement at least a week before the auction and then display the auction objects, and it is rare for the auction to add items on an ad hoc basis, which is inconsistent with the country's auction law.
Before the auction, the consignment auction contract must be signed, and after the appraisal of the expert group, the most authoritative appraisal experts of some large auction companies are often researchers invited from the Forbidden City, because generally speaking, the appraisal level of the research institute of the Forbidden City has reached a very high level.
Of course, these Forbidden City researchers cannot be said to be the top, the top is the appraiser, but the current appraiser often appears in the crowd of collectors, even the Forbidden City researcher is far worse than the appraiser.
Generally speaking, the display of auction objects should take about two days, and Liu Yi's Yuan Qinghua reserve price is directly set at 80 million, if someone wants to buy this thing, then his deposit must be 8 million to 16 million, and it must be handed over to the auction house before it is possible to enter the auction hall for auction.
The reserve price of the snuff bottle painted by Lang Shining was set at 60 million, which is in line with the market price of Lang Shining's paintings, but this snuff bottle is made of copper, which is a palace article at that time, and it is very likely that it was used by the emperor, so there is a lot of room for appreciation at this price.
As for the remaining sky blue glazed celestial ball bottle, the floor price is about 500,000.
The price of the Chenghua Doucai seawater swimming dragon jade pot spring bottle is about four million, the chicken bowl cup is set at about five million, and the price of Mao porcelain is eight million, because it is a single teapot. So the reserve price is set for some land.
In addition to a few things from Lewi, there are also some treasures. Auctions with a total value of more than 500 million and a price of more than 500 million. It is already a very large-scale auction in China, and there have been no works of Yuan Qinghua, Mao Porcelain, and Lang Shining for several years, so the repercussions caused by this auction are relatively large.
Liu Yi is actually the seller, according to the rules, Liu Yi is not qualified to enter the auction hall for auction, and generally regular large-scale auction houses do not allow the seller to enter, so there is a suspicion of deliberately raising the price.
However, Liu Yi was not worried at all, he let Ye Tian auction it. He directly paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan and went in, this deposit was to shoot an ancient organ box, there were things in the box, Liu Yi was a little familiar, so he planned to shoot it, the starting price of the organ box was 500,000, and Liu Yi directly paid 20% of the deposit.
"Isn't this Teacher Xiao Liu? You're also coming to the auction? ”
Leo Yi was wearing sunglasses, he didn't want to be too famous, but he was recognized by others. Someone greeted him directly from afar.
Liu Yi was shouted like this, and many people recognized Liu Yi and stepped forward to say hello, Liu Yi was a little embarrassed. If you knew this, it would be better to see people as they are, maybe no one knows them as they are, right? Leo was very unsure about this. It is estimated that his photo has already been doxxed, and it doesn't matter if he has eyes or not.
Take off your eyes. Liu Yi nodded politely: "Hello everyone, hehe." You don't have to worry about me, I'll just see if there's anything worth my shot! ”
The auction house that Ye Tianyou cooperated with is still very powerful, there are basically no fakes or high imitations of the things they sell, and people who want to raise the price for themselves basically can't appear here, this is a very regular auction house.
After greeting for a while and saying hello to many people, Liu Yi's shoulder was patted: "Liu Yi, I didn't expect you to be so famous now, Brother Chang is jealous!" ”
Liu Yi turned around and saw that it was Mr. Chang in the black market, shook hands with Mr. Chang with a smile, and said: "I am a collector, the more famous I am, the worse it is, I am very difficult to buy things, and as soon as I bid, someone will rob me, and it is very bad to be famous!" ”
Mr. Chang knew that Liu Yi was telling the truth, and he said twice, he didn't like to be famous, but he was already a frequent visitor to the auction house, and even Mr. Chang came in directly without paying the auction deposit, he didn't need to pay, because he was a regular customer, he knew that he was capable, if someone recognized Liu Yi when paying the deposit, then Liu Yi didn't need to pay the deposit, because he was a celebrity, and there was no one in the circle of Tianyuan Province who didn't know him.
"How are you interested in coming to the auction house? I've never heard of you having this hobby before! ”
Mr. Chang and Mr. Liu Yi did it together, and the number plates of the two of them were basically connected, and it seemed that Mr. Liu Yi didn't come in for long, and Mr. Chang followed.
"There's a few of my stuff in there!"
Liu Yi is very frank, he just came over to take a look and feel the atmosphere of the auction site, he doesn't have any money now, Ye Tian's box of gold and a box of pearls haven't been disposed of yet, he only has a few million in his hand, not a lot.
"Hehe, which ones are yours, do you want me to help raise the price when the time comes?" Chang always has the suspicion of currying favor with Liu Yi, Liu Yi's connections are not wide, but the Xiao family's connections are too wide, on the day of Liu Yi's engagement, Mr. Chang also went, and was severely shocked by many officials and business elites.
"No, maybe if I don't say it, Brother Chang will raise the price for me!"
Liu Yi smiled and said nothing, the auction time was set at about two o'clock in the afternoon, after a week of publicity and two days of displaying the auction bids, the time to come is also here.
Before the official start of filming, many people in the hall were greeting each other, pulling relationships, etc., and Liu Yi was also greeted by many people and exchanged business cards, even if this kind of thing is hidden, it can't be avoided.
"Celebrities, I'll get used to it after a few more experiences, hehe!"
Chang always teased, and Liu Yi was very helpless: "If it's possible, I really don't want to be famous!" ”
"Just now a lot of people asked you if you will participate in TV shows, I estimate that if you still participate in TV shows in the future, those people will definitely take their treasures to you for identification, they sometimes don't know whether the collection is true or fake, many people are mallets."
The word mallet may be a bit insulting when used on others, but Chang always said that it is true, some rich people are mallets, and they often buy them if they don't know anything, but most of those mallets go to auction houses to buy things, and many auction houses auction fakes or high imitations, all because of them, because they are mallets.
The first item in the auction is bronze, or Liu Yi's, but the value of these bronzes is not high, they are all daily necessities, which were brought out by Liu Yi from the mountain, for the sake of Ye Tian is big seller, they were temporarily added to the auction, the most expensive is a bronze jue, the price is about 500,000 to 700,000, and the price of some remaining small bronze pieces is not high, in that place, Liu Yi originally thought that there would be some relatively large bronzes and the like, but there were no, and there were no exquisite things, At that time, it may be that Yan Le's descendants did not bring large utensils when they ran away, and after living there for a long time, some of the remaining valuable things may have been replaced with food or other things.
