Chapter 130: No One Knows the Goods
Chapter 130
The brothers and sisters of the Xu family and Su Ze exchanged pleasantries for a while, left each other's phone calls, and returned to their positions.
Su Ze and the others all found their places and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin.
More and more people came in, and soon the entire international conference was overcrowded, but the order was not chaotic at all, and those who could enter were all people with status and dignity, and everyone would not make loud noises.
Before entering the auction venue, everyone will be given a catalogue of the Spring Auction collection and a bidding number plate.
There is still half an hour left before the auction starts.
Su Ze opened the catalogue and looked at it, he has been doing a lot of research on antiques recently, so he is also quite interested in the collection of these spring auctions.
Sotheby's spring auction is really rich, among which most of them are works of art, which include paintings by the old man Baishi, Dong Qichang, Huang Zhou, Li Keran, and Xu Beihong's words, Su Ze knows that Xu Beihong's paintings are very famous, but his words are very rare, in addition to calligraphy and paintings, Buddhist artifacts, and jade also have a large proportion.
Just looking at the introduction is a rarity.
Everything is worth more than one million, in contrast, although Su Ze has bought a lot of things in Panjiayuan, it is also genuine, but the price is very different, the same is Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, and the price difference between the official kiln and the private kiln is hundreds of times.
However, Su Ze did not expect to find a collection of this level in Panjiayuan that could be sold at Sotheby's Spring Auction.
Su Ze turned to page thirty-five, and an introduction to his wine appeared.
His wine was placed in the thirty-fifth lot, and there are about a hundred items in this auction, which happens to be in the position of not going up or down, which is also normal. Although Baicao Group is a first-class pharmaceutical group in China. But being able to put the medicinal wine on Sotheby's spring auction is already the limit. This is not an antique treasure, nor is it diamond gold, even if you say it is a treasure, but you have no reputation, who will buy it, so it is impossible to get any finale position for his wine.
The clock was two o'clock.
The auction is finally about to begin, and a personable auctioneer in a tuxedo walks onto the stage.
"Dear ladies. Gentlemen, Sotheby's Yenching 20XX Spring Auction ......"
The auctioneer gave a speech first, explaining the rules and precautions of the auction.
Then, the auction begins.
A beautiful woman in a cheongsam pushes up a lot wrapped in a red cloth.
"The first lot is Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, white jade Daji gourd bottle......" The auctioneer uncovered the red cloth, revealing a milky white jade gourd bottle inside.
"The gourd is a symbol of auspicious meaning in traditional Chinese culture, so it is a very important mascot since ancient times...... The reserve price is 300,000 yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan. ”
After the auctioneer's introduction. Then quote the reserve price.
As his words fell, there were soon bids. The venue was not very lively, the price rose steadily, and finally sold for 880,000 yuan.
The auction obviously doesn't start with an important lot.
Most of the first dozen or so lots sold for between a few hundred thousand and one million.
Just when the atmosphere was a little dull, a painting of Dong Qichang set off a small climax, and the price was 3.2 million, and the atmosphere of the auction was slightly warmer, and then all kinds of lots were sent up one after another.
Prices are also gradually climbing, basically above the millions.
Although Su Ze was holding the number plate, he didn't mean to shoot at all, these things were very attractive to others, but they were not attractive to him at all, just to see how much his wine could shoot.
The Su family made a few shots and auctioned two collections worth more than one million.
Time goes by.
After more than an hour, it was finally Su Ze's turn to drink.
When the beautiful woman in the cheongsam pushed Su Ze's wine up, the auctioneer began to introduce: "The next lot is a little unique, it is five bottles of top medicinal wine "drunk and forgetful", this wine is made of dozens of precious medicinal materials with special skills, unique on the market, the effect of prolonging life, dispelling illness and strengthening the body, but also has a very wonderful taste, the base price of each bottle of wine is 100,000, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan each time. ”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the guests attending the auction were a little cold.
This lot is really unprecedented, take the medicinal wine to auction, and I have never heard of the medicinal wine, and I don't explain the origin, nor the year, I just opened a hundred thousand bottles, although the effect is amazing, but go to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of medicinal wine for dozens of yuan The effect is not less than this, and how much effect is left to fate.
Although no one who can enter the venue will be short of 100,000 yuan, no one's money will be blown by the wind.
"One hundred and twenty thousand." A deep voice broke the cold, and Xu Xiaolong raised his card.
Xu Xiaolong got the death order of the old man of the Xu family, and he had to clap the wine for any amount of money, so he didn't look at other things at all, and he was not interested in seeing any antiques and artworks, he came for one purpose, to shoot wine.
I thought that this wine could enter the eyes of the old man, and the old man gave a death order, which shows that this wine must be very good, otherwise with the status of the old man, there is no wine to get, and he has to buy it at the auction in person.
But he didn't expect that after the wine was brought up, it would fall into a cold scene.
This left him a little confused.
The old man didn't buy the things he liked, he originally wanted to wait for others to compete until the last moment before he killed it, but after waiting for a long time no one bought it, he was afraid of the auction, so he immediately made a bid, but it didn't come out more, so he added 20,000 yuan to see the situation.
"120,000, once."
"120,000, twice."
The auctioneer waited for a long time, but no one really made another move, so he picked up the hammer and struck it heavily: "120,000, three times, the deal, congratulations to this gentleman." ”
Xu Xiaolong clapped his hands, and he didn't react a little, he originally planned to kill the Quartet and spend eighteen million, but he didn't expect to get it so easily, it felt like he was fully armed on the battlefield, and the opponent turned out to be a cripple.
Su Ze was also a little speechless when he saw that his wine had only been photographed for 120,000, just now everything was 1.8 million, and the most expensive one had reached seven or eight million, and his wine had only been photographed for 120,000.
Although 120,000 yuan seemed like a lot for a bottle of wine, he felt that his spirit wine should not be worth this amount of money.
Not to mention his unique brewing technique, the medicinal materials in it are all selected from the top, and when it is evenly distributed, the cost of this bottle of spirit wine alone is tens of thousands.
Old Man Su also frowned, he was embarrassed to bid just now, after all, it was the wine that was put up for auction in the name of Baicao Group, and his bidding was a little unruly, and Xu Shan had stated several times before the auction that he wanted this wine, so that he should not rob it, he was naturally embarrassed to grab it again, but the price of 120,000 yuan was too low, he had drunk it personally, and it was too worth selling this wine for 1.2 million, and there was no second wine on the market that could make him ten years younger.
This time it's cheaper for the Xu family.
The auctioneer took out a second bottle of medicinal wine.
This time it was a bottle auction, so after the second bottle was auctioned, Xu Xiaolong immediately added another 20,000 yuan, and still quoted 120,000 yuan.
If the first bottle of Xu Xiaolong was taken away, everyone didn't think it was unusual, after all, the Xu family threw 120,000 yuan to buy a bottle of unknown medicinal wine to play with, then the second bottle, Xu Xiaolong immediately bid again, which attracted the attention of some people, Xu Xiaolong is not nameless in Yanjing.
At least half of the celebrities present knew the Xu family brothers and sisters.
There are many people who want to understand Xu Xiaolong's character, Xu Xiaolong is definitely not a gentleman who likes to throw money casually.
However, although everyone felt that Xu Xiaolong's behavior was a little strange, they still did not bid for an unknown bottle of medicinal wine.
I don't think it's worth it, and there's no need to grab wine with the Xu family.
After the auctioneer reported twice in a row, seeing that the second bottle of wine was going to be bought by Xu Xiaolong at the price of 120,000 cabbage, Su Ze was a little helpless, he was not reluctant to drink, but this price really had the feeling of a pearl secretly invested, and he got it to Sotheby's spring auction with great fanfare, and only then did he auction this money, and he would not have taken it out for auction if he knew it.
If these wines were just taken away by Old Man Xu, then the old man would definitely not spread the effect of the wine, and his medicinal wine would not be able to sell for a price even if it was precious.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Just as the auctioneer was about to ring the hammer, a sound suddenly broke the silence of the venue, and also broke Xu Xiaolong's offer. (To be continued......)
