The actual scene of the Zhou Fair is not very similar to what many people see in film and television works: "Zhuren is not a lively hall, a sensational auctioneer, an impulsive card bearer, and there are restrictions on the reserve price and transaction price of the lot." [No pop-up novel network]

For example, if someone wants to send an item to an auction house for auction, it needs to be appraised and evaluated, and the auction house will give a suggested reserve price if they are willing to accept the commission. Of course, this reserve price must be agreed by the client, and some clients will quote the reserve price themselves, but this reserve price is not arbitrary. A certain percentage of the basic auction fee is required to be paid according to the reserve price. The purpose of this is to prevent some people's speculation from deliberately opening the reserve price very high, and if it can be traded, it will be closed, and if it is unsuccessful, it will be pulled down. If the object is sent to the auction house for auction, if the auction fails, the consignor will also have to bear a certain loss, the higher the reserve price, the greater the loss, and the auction house will not advertise and carry out auction activities in vain.

On the other hand, in addition to the reserve price, there is also a maximum price, not all lots can be arbitrarily and infinitely increased, and there is generally a limit to how many times a maximum price can be within the reserve price. The purpose of this regulation is to prevent some people from deliberately speculating through auctions, using selfies to buy and artificially make the transaction price of a work of art very high, so as to inflate the value of the author or achieve other purposes.

The details of the rules vary among the major auction houses in this regard, but the terms are similar.

There are a lot of tricks in the auction, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it in a few days, to give the simplest example, you can bribe through the auction. For example, Zhang San entrusted the auction house to auction a work of art, and Li Si deliberately bought it at a high price.

The auction house itself also has a lot of tricks, for example, there are many works of art that are acquired by the auction house, and they can hype up the ladder on their own and wait to catch big fish, such as the auction of the Qing Dynasty series of Yuwang.

In this auction held by the Salty Pond Auction House, there is one item that has no price limit, and that is the crown, because its origin is very "small and innocent." It is something that the famous Hong Kong tycoon Xiao often offers, and the reserve price is 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

The crown was the main lot of the sale, but it was not the finale, it was placed in the penultimate lot.

Of course, the purpose of this is also exquisite, the crown auction must be the first of the whole auction, which will stimulate the buyer's expected price. After a **, other carefully arranged important lots are more likely to arouse the interest of buyers under a large price difference, especially those who have not won the crown, and the object is easy to fetch a higher price than usual.

The auction attracted many local collectors and powerful buyers in Hong Kong, such as Mr. Zhang Wang, the new chairman of the Yuanchen Group and chairman of the Yuanchen Charity Foundation, as well as industrialists from the mainland, such as Mr. Yang Yicheng, chairman of Nanlu Real Estate Development Company, and collectors from overseas, most of whom had a wait-and-see mentality, and more interestingly, a group of Arabs.

Inviting Mr. Niu Ranmiao to come to the town, there are pros and cons, the average two hundred and five can't have the kind of financial resources that Niu Lao has, and those who really have the financial resources to fight with Niu Lao are not fools, who will fight with his old man for things?

After the crown hammer, the auction price soared, when the price exceeded 15 million Hong Kong dollars, fewer and fewer people raised the card, at this time Niu Lao began to raise the card, everyone was very interested in stopping the bidding, but at this time there was a woman also raised a card and Niu Lao to compete for the crown, which was very surprising.

This mysterious woman has been taking turns holding up signs with Niu Lao. The transaction price of the crown was pushed from 15 million Hong Kong dollars to 28 million Hong Kong dollars, and in the end, it was Mr. Niu Ranmiao who auctioned it. Where did this come from, everyone can see that Niu Lao just wants this thing, and this person is stunned that Niu Lao spent more than 10 million yuan, this

Isn't it a feud?

This seems to be a lot of things on film and television, but it's rarely seen at actual auctions. Bidding at the auction is not indiscriminate, and each buyer who enters the auction to get a number generally has to pay a certain percentage of the deposit, and the total amount of the card cannot be more than a certain multiple of the deposit. If you bid in bad faith and do not pay afterwards, you need to deduct the corresponding proportion from the deposit as a fine.

Of course, each auction house will give some powerful and reputable buyers to the status of a mouthful member, this kind of member does not need to pay a deposit, identity is a credibility guarantee, as long as people like Niu Lao are willing to come, they do not need to apply for postal status, and the auction house will automatically send it.

This woman dared to bid with Niu Lao, and the transaction price of the crown was so high, which shows that the financial resources are also quite strong, and her identity is even more mysterious. It's a pity that this kind of auction site is not allowed to take pictures without permission, and the major media do not have photos of this woman, but they only heard from the people who participated in the auction on the spot that she was a very beautiful young woman, bright and bright.

Of course, this woman is Xiang Yinghua, You Fang has long considered that no one may be embarrassed to bid with Niu Lao, so he asked Xiang Yinghua to come to this show, anyway, Niu Ranmiao will shoot it anyway. The final transaction price of You Fang and Chi Zhongwu is between 20 million and 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

This auction is not only a focus event in the collection and entertainment world, but also a hot social news. The crown came from Xiao Chang's hand and was bought by Niu Ranmiao, and the ins and outs are very clear. It is also difficult for the average person to raise more questions. However, there are still people in the world who will not take care of the face of these two people, the most striking is the current British royal family.

The British royal family made a brief statement in private: on February 23 this year, a so-called British crown was auctioned in Hong Kong, and the British royal family has never lost such a crown in its history, and condemned this irresponsible hype. Although this was said in private, it was circulated through various channels.

The "main owner" has made a statement, and in the eyes of some people, this auction is likely to become a laughing stock in the industry, waiting to see the joke. When Chi Zhongwu heard the news, he closed the door and almost burst his stomach with laughter. They were not sure in advance that the British royal family would make a statement, and now it is the best outcome in the plan.

The purpose of You Fang to do this bureau, on the one hand, is to earn money for himself, on the other hand, to praise Chi Zhongwu in the Chi family, and at the same time, by the way, he sucked some people's faces to relieve his anger, I didn't expect someone to really take the initiative to come up and ask for a step, this is too cooperative, right?

A small auction house in Hong Kong became famous overnight, and it actually had the opportunity to sing against each other. Chi Zhongwu immediately expressed his voice

The Crown of King Richard of England auctioned by the auction house on February 23, 2012 was purchased by Mr. Siu Chang, a Hong Kong industrialist, and was purchased by Mr. Niu Ranmiao, an industrialist from Macau.

Since the crown has been collected by Mr. Niu Ranmiao, the auction house has no right to make any further disposal decisions. However, the auction house will auction another British crown in three months, and openly display it, welcome the British royal family to send someone to appraise it, but do not slander the auction house's business reputation on any occasion without any basis.

At the end of the statement, a deliberate sentence was added: If the British royal family's finances are in a tight situation, the auction house is willing to bear all the costs of appointing experts to come to Hong Kong to appraise the crown.

The crown that Niu Ranmiao bought is naturally gone, but there is still a crown for everyone to see. This is the backhand of the chain of games arranged by the tour party. Now it is lively, there are constantly professionals to appreciate this crown, and major media continue to track and report. It really can't be fake, there are many masters in this world, and some people even see that this crown has been damaged and repaired, and they are full of praise for the skills of the restorer.

The British royal family really sent someone here, and it was also in a private way, and the expert experts from the British Museum came in a private capacity, not nominally accepting the royal family's commission. After they studied it, they went back without saying a word, and their faces were as blue as ghosts.

When it comes to history, I am afraid that apart from China, there is no other place in the world where there is such a detailed and clear historical data for verification, and most of them are just looking for clues in physical research and excavation of relics. The European Middle Ages experienced a long period of theocratic rule, and the things we know such as book burning and Confucianism, literary prisons, and ethnic wars lasted there for hundreds of years, and there are not many historical materials that should be burned or destroyed in modern times.

Even many important classics in ancient Europe were later re-translated from Arabic documents, and many European kings in history did not even have their full names, and the names in history books are still nicknames passed down by word of mouth.

Eight hundred years ago, the Plantagenet dynasty had no authority even for the Windsor royal family in England today.

So You Fang dared to take out his father's forged crown for public auction, and also made up a story of its origin, and then used a real crown to show the public. The auction house statement and the public display of the second auction crown pushed the game to a higher level.

On the third day after the auction, Xiang Yinghua also arrived in Guangzhou, and You Fang was waiting for her in Baiyun Villa, where they had lived together for a long time, and the day of the moon dance and sword practice in the mountains seemed to be yesterday. Xiang Yinghua has been out for a long time this time, but she still wants to stay in the mountains for a while longer, and accompany you to practice the secret method of "Outer Mountain" proficiently.

But when Xiang Muhua went to Baiyun Villa, Chi Zhongwu from Hong Kong called, and things went unexpectedly. Niu Ranmiao didn't do what You Fang had arranged, he really paid afterwards, and 28 million Hong Kong dollars were transferred to the account of Xianchi Auction House, and the crown was not sent back.

Chi Zhongwu came to the door in person, but Niu Lao pretended to be confused, and said that he wanted to go to the auction, and he also auctioned the crown by himself. Chi Zhongwu was confused and couldn't say anything else, he had never had direct contact with Niu Lao from beginning to end, so he had to ask You Fang what was going on? He would never dare to sell a quality crown to Niu Lao at a sky-high price of 28 million, and the thing was taken by You Fang, and You Fang couldn't accept this money.

After You Fang received the call, he explained to Xiang Yinghua that he wanted to go back to Hong Kong to do something. As a result, Xiang Yinghua asked bluntly: "Rand, is it still about that auction?" ”

You Fang simply admitted: "For the sake of the auction, I asked you to raise a sign to bid, and told you that between 20 million and 30 million, someone will definitely buy it at a higher price, and you will definitely be able to guess that this is a game I made with Mr. Niu Ranmiao." "I can't hide it, that crown is a quality, and it came from my hand. Niu Lao gave me a favor and came forward to buy it at a high price, but now something is wrong, he really paid and didn't return the crown. ”

Xiang Yinghua smiled: "You asked me to go to the auction, I know that's the case, I really didn't expect that someone like Niu Ranmiao would cooperate with you, if I'm not mistaken, the Hengming Group where Miss Qi works is the company of the Niu Group." You've known Niu Ranmiao for a long time? ”

You Fang nodded and said, "Yes, I have known him for a long time, and the first time we met him was in this mountain villa." People are a little childish when they get old, and it seems that this old man has not had enough fun and is waiting for me to come to the door to retrieve the crown himself. ”

Xiang Yinghua reminded: "Since this kind of person has paid the money, I'm afraid he doesn't plan to take it back, of course, he has other intentions." Since you know him, I think Miss Qi must also know it, it is better to let Qi Tiaoxue accompany you, if it involves financial or investment matters, she can handle it better than you. ”

You Fang was slightly stunned: "Raising snow? Do you want me to take her to Macau to visit Niu Lao? ”

Xiang Yinghua said quietly: "Of course, isn't Qi Xiaoxue the most suitable person?" She is indeed a talent, in fact, we Songhe Mining Group is also in urgent need of such senior management talents, can you ask her opinion, you can consider going to Songhe Mining Group to work, all the conditions are negotiable. "Although I own a lot of shares in my name, you also know that I don't want to take care of these things at all, and I am not good at it."

Xiang Yinghua wanted to get Qi Tiaoxue to Songhe Mining Group, but she didn't know how she could come up with such an idea in her head? You Fang was stunned for a moment. Xiang Yinghua saw that he didn't answer, and added in a quiet tone: "Actually, I'm thinking about you, someone knows about your relationship with Qi Caixue, I'm afraid they will use her to blackmail you, if you are in Songhe Mining Group, I can guarantee that she is absolutely safe." ”

You Fang smiled: "Thank you, thank you very much!" But this matter depends on her own opinion, in fact, Guangzhou is not bad now. ”

This is the truth, the inner hall of the Xunluan faction moved north, and the sand elimination faction and the Xunluan faction still cooperated, not only a large number of masters of the two factions are here, but this is also their sphere of influence, and the sect dojo built by Zhang Wang is at the other end of Baiyun Mountain, if someone comes here to make small moves, I am afraid it is not enough trouble.
