Chapter 552: Heavenly Treasure (I)
After the second auction was also decided, the auction of other antiques was followed, although there were no heavy weapons like Wang Mang's golden knife and Chenghua Doucai jar in the remaining collections, but the transaction price together was nearly 100 million, counting the previous transaction price, a total of 300 million.
The competition at the auction was very fierce, and it didn't end until two o'clock in the afternoon, and none of the antiques that Yi Yang took out for auction were unsold, and they all sold for a good price, which was quite satisfying.
After the auction ended, Yiyang set up a banquet, not only to celebrate, but also to thank Li Lao and the Wang family father and son and other friends who vigorously supported the auction.
After the banquet was over, when everyone was resting, Luo Jianing and Mr. Luo walked in front of Yi Yang, and the expressions of the two of them were a little complicated at this moment.
"Jianing, Mr. Luo, I'm sorry, that golden wrong knife ......"
Yi Yang looked at Luo Jianing and the two of them with some apologies, the Wang Mang Jin Wrong Knife was snatched away by Li Lao from Mr. Luo for more than 80 million, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, because he knew that Mr. Luo liked the knife coin very much, and tried every means to get it, but now he passed by him and went to the hands of other collectors, so there was no hope of collecting it.
Mr. Luo smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "What are you doing with guilt?" I don't blame you, I can't blame you at all, I have to thank you, after all, you fulfilled my wish and sent the golden knife to the auction, so that I could have the opportunity to participate in the auction, but unfortunately, my strength is limited, and I can't compare with those big collectors, I can't compare with them.
"In this bidding, I lost convincingly, the old gentleman finally bid more than 80 million, this price is by no means something I can afford, I just can't even sell myself for so much money."
His tone was calm, calmer than ever, as if he had calmed down and figured it out.
Yi Yang nodded lightly and said, "That old gentleman is a friend I met in Shancheng, he is very courageous, and it can be seen that he likes that ancient coin as much as you, so he is willing to spend so much." Although the things were bought by him, everyone can communicate together and appreciate the treasures in their respective hands. ”
"I'm tired." Mr. Luo thanked him, and after saying that, he said goodbye and walked away.
"Jianing, I'm sorry, I also let your wish come to fruition." After seeing Mr. Luo turn around and leave, Yi Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at Luo Jianing, who was standing in front of him blankly.
Luo Jianing approached him at the beginning, just to intercede for her third uncle and fight for the Wang Mang Golden Wrong Knife from Yi Yang, but now it is useless for her to intercede, because the thing has been resold to others, not his Yi Yang's, and he has no right to dominate.
"Hey, that's fine!" Luo Jianing sighed and said, "Now my third uncle should be dead, he won't think about it anymore, he can be regarded as giving him a break, so don't say that, I think it's good, at least it's better than you holding it in your hands and not giving him any chance to negotiate." ”
"Well, yes, hopefully he can figure it out." Yi Yang nodded in response.
After that, he was busy setting up the exhibition hall again.
The next auction is the antiques donated by Wang Jianmin, and there are a lot of treasures he brought, which is enough to hold a separate auction.
Before the start of the auction in the morning, Yi Yang announced at the venue that there would be another auction at the same time tomorrow, and I hope everyone will come to visit.
Therefore, Li Lao and other people who were interested in collecting did not go far, but mostly stayed in the hotel, waiting for the second exhibition to be held in the evening.
The exhibition started at eight o'clock in the evening and lasted for two hours, and the exhibition also went smoothly and was well received, especially the pastel statue, which was very eye-catching.
After the exhibition, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao cleaned up the venue, and then rested to recuperate.
After a good night's sleep, the next day's auction was held on time.
The first lot in today's auction is naturally the heavy object - the yellow ground pastel hook lotus pattern Dazun.
This piece of porcelain fetched more than 10 million yuan more than 20 years ago, and 20 years later, the collectibles market is booming, and the price is naturally not the same.
Yi Yang set its starting price at 35 million, and after the bidding began, Li Lao, the Wang family father and son and others launched a fierce competition.
After the last move exceeded 100 million, and the price soared to 100 million in a blink of an eye, there were very few buyers who joined the competition, but just when Li Lao was about to compete, he killed Cheng Biting Gold halfway, and this Cheng Biting Gold was none other than Wang Jianmin, the owner of porcelain!
"How did he join the bidding process?!" Seeing Wang Jianmin's bid, and it was more than 100 million yuan, Yi Yang was very surprised, this was something he never expected, Wang Jianmin donated those antiques to him, but he didn't expect him to participate in the bidding.
If you put your own things up for auction and bid on your own, if this is put in an auction held by an auction company, it will definitely be a favor and a price gouge.
But this situation is very different, this is not a commercial auction, but a charity auction, and all the funds from the auction will be used for charity to help children in poor mountainous areas go to school.
Wang Jianmin suddenly killed, which was also surprised in the eyes of others, could it be that this is the legendary "dark horse"?
Of course, except for a few people such as Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao, no one knew that the antiques being auctioned were from Wang Jianmin.
He told Yi Yang that he donated anonymously.
may have the same pastel porcelain in hand, and the demand is not so great, so it didn't take long for Li Lao to automatically withdraw from it, and the final transaction price was more than 130 million, which was naturally won by Wang Jianmin, the "Prince of Dark Horses".
From the starting price of 35 million to more than 130 million, it is a full 100 million, and the price increase is so high that it is simply staggering.
After the pastel porcelain was auctioned, he continued to auction other antiques, and in the next lot, Wang Jianmin did not participate in the auction, and finally sold them together for tens of millions of dollars, plus the income from the pastel porcelain, there were also more than 200 million funds.
This fund, combined with the money from the sale of antiques in Yi Yang's hands, is worth 500 million, which is not much different from Yi Yang's previous estimate, and has reached his ideal value.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the auction came to an end, and at this point, both auctions ended smoothly.
Afterwards, Yi Yang once again held a banquet to entertain Li Lao and others.
Li Lao and other buyers who auctioned antiques have signed an agreement with Yi Yang, and according to the content of the agreement, they will transfer all the funds to the bank account designated by Yi Yang within two years.
"Mr. Wang, that pastel porcelain, why are you ......?"
After greeting Li Lao and other VIPs, Yi Yang found Wang Jianmin, the "big dark horse" of today's auction.
"I know what you're going to say." Before Yi Yang could finish speaking, Wang Jianmin opened his mouth to answer and said, "I just signed a payment agreement with you, you won't worry that I won't give money, right?" ”
"Of course not." Yi Yang hurriedly shook his head and said, "I was just a little surprised, I didn't expect you to participate in the auction, and finally took that piece of porcelain down." ”
He now knows Wang Jianmin's true identity, he is a big boss in the financial world, he is worth a lot of money, he is richer than Li Lao and the Wang family's father and son, and spending hundreds of millions of dollars may be nothing.
At present, he took away his pastel statue, which is equivalent to his donation of 130 million funds, as well as other antiques worth nearly 100 million, a total of about 200 million.
Wang Jianmin smiled meaningfully and replied: "At first, I didn't think about buying it back, but when the auction was in the morning, he was suddenly very reluctant, and you should be able to understand that feeling." ”
"Well, I can feel it deeply." Yi Yang nodded vigorously, although he is not a senior collector like Wang Jianmin, and his collection age is not even a year, after all, he has been in this industry for a while, and he knows how important a collection he cherishes is to collectors.
Now it is naturally very uncomfortable to watch the beloved things that I have collected for twenty or thirty years being auctioned there, being scrambled over, and seeing that they are about to fall into the hands of others.
"You're a big collector, you can definitely understand." Wang Jianmin smiled bitterly, "That pastel porcelain can be said to be the most favorite piece of the collection I have collected for many years, and when I decided to donate it to help you do charity, I made a lot of determination, who knew that when it came to the auction, I was still very reluctant, as if I was watching my children being bought and bought." ”
"yes, I know." Yi Yang straightened his expression and said, "Why don't I feel this way?" I also have a certain affection for the antiques in my hand, and if I hadn't done this charity, then no matter how high the price was paid, I wouldn't have given it. But I'm different from you, I held this auction, and I can't auction it and buy it myself, so if people know about it, it will be seen as a false and hypocritical appearance. ”
Wang Jianmin was pleased: "That's okay, when I buy things back, I feel at ease." ”
"Well, keep it safe." Yi Yang nodded.
Then he asked: "Mr. Wang, your batch of antiques sold for nearly 200 million funds, what are you going to do with this funds?" ”
Wang Jianmin replied without hesitation: "What else can be done?" As I have already made clear, all the proceeds from the auction will be used for charity. ”
"I know, I mean what are you going to do with this charity?" Yi Yang added.
Wang Jianmin said with a smile: "This matter is all up to you, this fund is all for you, you don't sue others, lest others gossip, saying that I took out the porcelain and auctioned it myself and spent money to buy it back, I don't want too much news about me outside, just treat me as an ordinary buyer." ”
"Well, okay." Yi Yang nodded solemnly.
After discussing it a little more, the two went back to their rooms to rest.
Nothing happened overnight.
At noon the next day, Li Lao, the Wang family father and son and other buyers remitted all the money, including Wang Jianmin, all of them were missing, and there was a lot of money.
This time, Yi Yang raised a huge amount of 500 million yuan in his hands.
Next, Yiyang is going to organize charity and donate to children in poor mountainous areas.
