Chapter 311: Mentality

Although antiques claim to be regardless of nationality and region, this is just an empty word, and the cultural relics of the East are certainly not as popular as the cultural relics of the West in the West, and vice versa. The Chinese tycoons on the scene sharpened their knives one by one, but there were few who really wanted to collect this set of tableware.

What they want to do is very simple, to raise the price as much as possible, so that those Westerners can also taste their own plight overseas. Thanks to their efforts, the price of this set of silver tableware has exceeded the 20 million mark.

In a normal auction, it would be impossible for this set of silver tableware to be auctioned at this price, and fifteen million would definitely be capped. But this package has a different background, treasure hunting. Therefore, no one will feel abnormal at this price, but take it for granted.

Since it is taken for granted, it can't end like this, at least that's what the Chinese tycoons on the scene think. If the Germans are allowed to shoot it away for 20 million, it is better for them to take it and put it for two years, and they will definitely be able to make a small profit.

There were at least a dozen German tycoons present, but these people were not the strongest in Germany. The strongest are the two young men, Aoye and Xue Lì. They were not rich themselves, but they were the spokesmen of two German tycoons, representing Karl Brown. Albachet and Michael. Otto. The former is the richest man in Germany and the last of the world's top ten richest people; The latter ranks third in Germany in terms of total assets.

When the price was shouted to two thousand, Aoye suddenly opened his mouth and directly raised the price by five million. Before coming here, the richest man in France had already told him to bring things back at all costs. France's richest man is not short of money and is not a collector, but this time he desperately wants to get it back.

Because of the treasure hunt, this set of silver tableware has a high reputation, and if it is lost overseas, it will definitely be a major blow to the national pride of the Germans. It's like the Huaxia people are frantically trying to retrieve the twelve beast heads.

"Thirty million!" Xue lì immediately followed the quotation and also raised the price by five million. She didn't want to fight Aoife, in fact any of them brought the set back to Germany.

What she wants to do is to turn this auction into a play between two Germans, suppressing all competitors with absolute superiority, so that everyone can see the strength of the Germans clearly.

It's a sick idea, but a lot of people think that it's needed when faced with certain problems and things. Otherwise, how could Huaxia have the famous saying that her daughter would come back after being scattered.

There are not a few people who have such sick thoughts, and there is no shortage of sick people in China. Some people think that the auction in the capital of China will have two Germans singing the leading role, how can they be embarrassed?

"Thirty-five million!"

The rich people of China shouted a sick to crazy price, you Germans want to sing the leading role in the land of China, and you have to ask us if we agree.

"This brother is crazy enough!" Qin Xuebing couldn't help but glance back, using 35 million to buy a collection that was only half worth it, this is not the courage that everyone has.

Qin Xuebing also quickly understood the other party's hard work, and couldn't help but be anxious for him: "If you shout so high, isn't he afraid that the Germans won't buy it?" ”

Will the Germans not buy it? Qin Xuebing was a little worried just now, but was quickly dispelled by a voice: "Thirty-six million." "It's Aofe, this time he didn't raise the price crazily, he knows very well that if he raises the price crazily, the other party will also increase the price crazily, but he can't get it.

"Damn, these Chinese people are clearly obstructing it." Xue Lì saw it, his eyes became a little gloomy, and he simply stopped shouting and waited to see the development of the situation.

"Thirty-seven million!" The Chinese tycoon immediately followed the bidding, it was another tycoon, and he also saw the determination of the two Germans, and did not mind setting a fire at this time.

Spectators outside the venue found themselves increasingly unable to understand the auction and why these people were so crazy and didn't take money for money every time.

…,

"Thirty-eight million!" Another wealthy man in Germany followed suit, and he didn't mind buying it at a high price, because the set of cutlery would bring him more than the value of the cutlery itself.

"Thirty-nine million!" The rich man of Huaxia immediately shouted.

"Damn, these people are clearly shouting nonsense." Aoife clenched his fists, simply closed his mouth, and slowly gathered momentum.

The corners of Zhang Jiming's mouth curled, there are so many people bidding, which means that there are many people staring at this auction item, and the price will continue to climb. In fact, the price quickly climbed to 43 million, and it was shouted by a wealthy Chinese man.

As soon as this voice appeared, the scene was silent, and no one followed the bidding. Zhang Jiming pinched a cold sweat for this rich man, if he really wanted 43 million, then this rich man would be wronged enough.

This rich man also has sweat in his hands, he just wants to raise the price, if he raises the price and buys it himself, it will be too wrong, and it will be embarrassing. He vowed to give up as soon as anyone shouted again.

If you play again, you may lose a lot, and the price is far from the value of the auction itself. What made him vomit blood was that the auctioneer had already begun to shout the count, but still no one had made an offer.

"Forty-three million for the first time, forty-three million for the second time."

Zhang Jiming shouted slowly, sighing for the benevolent brother in his heart: "Forty-three million third ......"

"Forty-four million!" Xue Lì finally raised her hand, she swore that this was the last time she would shout the price, and if the Huaxia man dared to shout again, then let the Huaxia person collect it himself. After all, you can't be fooled because of a piece of collectibles.

44 million, sold! This has made many people feel incredible, the auction is already so crazy in the middle of the auction, and when the final finale comes out, it will not be even more crazy. A lot of people are thinking about how much money they can spend here at most.

Crazy auctions fetch crazy prices. But that's not the end of it, Zhang Jiming said: "The next auction item is a gold bracelet from the United Kingdom. ”

Gold was a valuable item in those days, and bracelets could be made out of gold, especially hundreds of years ago, when they were not nobles or rich. And the style of this bracelet is so good that it won't look tacky even today.

It's not the 80's either, and when you get this kind of antique jewelry in the 80s, a lot of people will melt it back down and create a new one. But now it's different, people buy antique jewelry, with an antique flavor.

The gold bracelet weighs twelve grams, and if it is a modern product, it is worth five or six thousand yuan. But this is a centuries-old antique, and the reserve price of the auction is 200,000, and the price is not less than 10,000 each time.

Seeing this gold item, Anna felt that it could be photographed and played, and the price was not expensive anyway, and maybe it would bring design inspiration, so she shouted: "Two hundred and fifty thousand." ”

"A million!" Viglia is still haunted by the failure to take the wolf's skin, and wants to take the bracelet as compensation. She is a woman with a strong sense of vanity, and she is embarrassed to take jewelry worth less than one million out of the house, so even if this bracelet is not worth a million, she has to carry it to a million, so that she can save face when she takes it out.

What she brought was never jewelry, but money and face. Dilis also had the same idea, so at this time she unconsciously quoted a price of one and a half million.

"Crazy, are these women crazy?" Qin Xuebing didn't know what to evaluate, he really wanted to say that money is not like this, if he really feels that the money can't be burned, it is better to donate it to the children in the poor mountainous areas.

"That's life!" The eyes of the money-worshipping girls outside the venue lit up, so that huā money is called life, and they only hate that the sky does not favor them, and they have not been able to find a rich husband.

In the end, the bracelet was bought by Vilia for a high price of four million, and the woman looked around the audience with a smug face, as if to say, you poor ghosts can't rob the old lady.

…,

"It's hard!" Gu Yaqian sighed, these ladies are crazy, a gold bracelet can be fried for four million, what about gems? She was skeptical that the money her boss had prepared was enough.

Then he took a silver wine jug, and like the set of silver tableware, it was taken away by Aofei at a price of 21 million under the coaxing of the rich people in China.

From an antique point of view, the next cross is even less valuable than the previous lot. In Western countries, there are too many silver crosses, even those that are hundreds of years old.

The amount is overflowing, and the antique is certainly not worth much. It's like Yuanqing huā, the craftsmanship is not as good as Mingqing huā, but because it is scarce, it can be sold at a sky-high price. But if there are more Yuanqing huā than Mingqing huā, can it be sold for a sky-high price?

So this cross doesn't have any selling points. If I had to say that there is, then its selling point is the treasure hunt story, which can be a good souvenir.

The reason why Wanbao Auction Company put this cross on auction at this time is to adjust the atmosphere and avoid the VIPs participating in the auction from being overwhelmed by excessive competition.

The auction needs to be hot, but this heat needs to have a degree, if it exceeds this degree, it will make people feel depressed, so that they do not have hope for the auction items and dare not bid.

In fact, many people are not optimistic about this auction item, including Qin Xuebing. A cross like this can be ordered for two or three for a thousand yuan, and even if it is an antique, the price will not exceed 100,000. Unless its origin can be investigated, it is a personal item worn by a famous person in history.

But unfortunately, Wanbao Auction Company invited a top Western expert to identify this cross, but the result was not satisfactory, just a very ordinary cross produced more than 300 years ago.

For this collection, Zhang Jiming adopted another method, auctioning without a reserve price, and each bid was not less than one yuan. In other words, even if someone only shouts one dollar and no one participates in the auction, he can still win it with one dollar.

At auctions, it is not uncommon to auction an antique in this way. So soon someone shouted with the mentality of playing a hand: "One dollar." ”
