"No need to introduce, this must be Ms. Song from Weilan Group!"

Without waiting for Wilson to introduce, Chief Executive Dong Sheng, who was talking to Tang Wenyuan, walked over, and when he was several meters away, he stretched out his hand to Song Weilan.

Dong Sheng was born in a family of ship kings, but when he was young, he happened to encounter the global financial crisis and his family was in ruins, and later after his hard work, he returned to the ranks of the top richest people on Hong Kong Island.

However, most of his business is in the Hong Kong Island area, although he knows Song Weilan's name, but he has never had the opportunity to meet this strange woman in the Chinese business world.

So although he has a noble status today, after seeing Song Weilan, he did not show the appearance of the chief executive of Hong Kong Island, but greeted Song Weilan with the etiquette of the business world.

"Mr. Dong is polite, I have heard Mr. Dong's name for a long time, and I can only see it today."

Song Weilan shook hands with Dong Sheng reservedly and said, "Aren't we a little noisy?" Wilson should be the protagonist today! ”

"Yes, yes, Ms. Song said yes."

Dong Sheng laughed when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Wilson, on behalf of the Hong Kong Island government, I wish you a complete success in this special auction of Chinese art!" ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Wilson took the microphone from his hand, walked to the booth slightly above the seat in front of him, and said: "I am very pleased to have Mr. Dong from the Hong Kong Island Government to attend the special auction of Chinese art organized by Christie's today, and we are also honored to have Ms. Song from the International Velan Group, please applaud!" ”

"The Velan Group? I've never heard of it! ”

"yes. How is the name so feminine? ”

"It was an old company in the United States, which used to specialize in cosmetics, and later involved in various industries, with assets of tens of billions of dollars, and Mr. Tang was far worse than her, so of course he was qualified to sit there."

As soon as Wilson's words fell, all kinds of discussions rang out in the room. Most of Song Weilan's business is in North America and Europe, and she is low-key, and not many people know her.

Of course. There are not many people who know Song Weilan, it doesn't mean that these people don't know Weilan Group, and someone whispered at the moment. There was a burst of exclamations that lowered his throat.

It is very difficult for a woman to start a business, and it is even more difficult for Song Weilan to create such a large multinational group.

"And thank you for your continued support of Christie'......"

After some clichés, Wilson cut to the point, "In order to give back to you, the collections we have scooped up this time are all fine works that have never appeared before. Okay, let's leave it to the auctioneer, please bid! ”

"Vilan, who is this person? Familiar with you? After enduring it offstage for a long time, Ye Dongping finally asked.

The Englishman on the stage is not young anymore. But he is very handsome and has a gentlemanly taste, which makes Ye Dongping feel a great threat.

"I thought you could hold it."

Song Weilan glanced at her husband and said, "Wilson used to be the president of my British company, and he pursued me more than ten years ago, what's the matter. Jealous? ”

Song Weilan is in charge of such a large company alone, but she is very beautiful, and she has encountered the pursuit of some successful people over the years, and Wilson is one of them.

"My sons are so old, what kind of jealousy am I eating......" Ye Dongping's words were obviously a little insincere.

Although Ye Tian has no true qi, his ear power and induction of qi are still there, and after hearing the conversation between his parents, he couldn't help but say: "Dad, you have to watch it carefully, when I look at the foreigner looking at my mother, my eyes are very wrong." ”…,

"Son, do you see it that way?" Ye Dongping suddenly became nervous.

Seeing his father's appearance, Ye Tian couldn't bear to tease him, and said with a smile: "Dad, you are so funny, if Mom wants to find it, where will it be your turn, don't think about it here." ”

"Dead, why are you talking to your son?" Song Weilan angrily stretched out her hand to Ye Dongping's waist, and pinched him and gasped-

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure for you to participate in this special auction of Chinese art, I am Henry, the auctioneer, let us know Lot 1 first!"

When Song Weilan was teaching her husband, the auction had already begun, and an auctioneer in his thirties stood in front of the auction table, his face full of confidence.

Many people only think that the auctioneer is shouting and smashing the hammer, but in fact, an auctioneer with good quality can determine the best price route according to the situation on the field, coupled with its noise to the atmosphere of the scene, often make the bidding achieve unexpected results.

A good auctioneer, on the other hand, is able to predict which lots will be sought after before entering the auction and can roughly estimate the maximum value of each lot.

Top auctioneers even know who the potential buyers of each lot will be, can reasonably grasp the speed and pace of the entire auction, and can gain insight into the minds of potential buyers in the auction through observation.

As one of the world's top auctioneers, Henry has already set a record for a single sale, and he is confident that he will continue his record of no unsold auctions in Hong Kong.

"The first collection is a pair of official kiln plum vases from the Qing Dynasty in China, from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which is said to have been a favorite object of the Qing Dynasty emperors......"

With Henry's words, a pair of beautiful Qing Dynasty Ming Dynasty white-glazed plum vases appeared on the booth.

Through the lens on the big screen at the scene, everyone can clearly see that the mouth of this plum bottle is round and thick, there is no obvious line angle turn, the shoulders are raised upward, the lines are full and powerful, and under the abdomen, it is vertical, which is indeed the style of Ming Dynasty porcelain.

"The price of this plum vase is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and each increase is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, please make a bid!"

An auction like Christie's can guarantee 100% of the authenticity of the collection, and after introducing the relevant information about the plum vase, Henry gave the reserve price.

"I'll pay 520,000 Hong Kong dollars!" As soon as Henry's words ended, someone in the audience raised a number plate.

Ye Tian glanced back at the person holding the card, and said in a low voice, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Still afraid you won't be able to shoot it? ”

"Xiaotian, you don't understand this, they come to the auction house, basically they have already prepared what they want to auction in the mainland......"

After hearing his son's words, Ye Dongping laughed, he has been rolling in the antique shop for one or two decades, from this point of view, he can be described as an expert, and he explained to his son at the moment.

There are many categories of antique collections, which can be roughly divided into six categories, such as bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jewelry and jade, ancient furniture, and miscellaneous.

There is a difference between antiques and antiques, because antiques can also include ancient buildings, fossils, etc., for archaeological research history, culture, customs, academic and other purposes.

Therefore, it is impossible for an antique lover to cover all the categories of antiques, and generally collect objects according to classification, some people specialize in bronzes, and some people love ceramics.

When they collect, they often have a purpose, like the person who just quoted, is obviously a porcelain collector, and even the purpose of his visit is for the pair of plum vases.

"520,000 Hong Kong dollars, Mr. Zhang from Hong Kong bid 520,000 Hong Kong dollars, do you have any friends to bid, this is the emperor's supplies of China!" …,

Hearing that someone in the audience raised the price so quickly, Henry was also relieved in his heart, you know, the most feared thing about an auction is the cold at the beginning, so the possibility of unsuccessful items in the back is extremely high.

"550,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

Henry apparently underestimated the popularity of the Chinese art market in recent years, and just as he finished speaking, a new offer rang out.

"Mr. Zhao bid 550,000 Hong Kong dollars, and at the previous London auction, a pair of porcelain from the same age as this plum vase was sold for 680,000 pounds, which is equivalent to 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and I think they still have a lot of room for appreciation."

Henry had done a lot of homework before that, and he was able to name each plate, and in that respect he was a very good auctioneer.

"Six hundred and eighty thousand!"

"800,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

When the 800,000 yuan was shouted, there was a silence in the room, but with Henry's encouragement, the price began to rise again.

Ye Tian could see that every time Henry spoke, his gaze always corresponded to someone, which may be the information that the auctioneer had before, and he knew who needed this lot.

"One million and two million!"

"One million eight million!"

"I'll give two million!"

Under Henry's control, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became warmer, and the art market was so hot that even many people who were not in this business would take pictures of some antiques for collection.

Therefore, it is not only those antique collectors who are bidding, but also some business people who like to be vassal and elegant, such as Mr. Tang.

Of course, Tang Wenyuan likes bronze, and he has no interest in this porcelain, so he didn't raise a sign to join in the fun.

"Two million Hong Kong dollars, are there any friends who have bid? Two ,380,000 once, 2,380,000 twice, 2,380,000 three times, the transaction, congratulations to Mr. Zhang! ”

The few people who were interested in buying this pair of plum vases raised their cards again and again, and slowly raised the price, and the pair of Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain with a reserve price of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars was finally sold for 2.38 million Hong Kong dollars.

"The next is a set of ancient scrolls from China......"

After the first lot was sold, Henry's next words made the eyes of Ye Tian and the others light up-
