Chapter 480: Auction Buyers Collude

"Xiao Han, thank you, thank you......"

After Dennis and Daniel left the conference room, Ms. Wang took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded, and the applause echoed in the conference room for a long time.

Although this is only a private business behavior, it has also increased the prestige of the country, and the Chinese have fought for face, naturally, their own interests have been won with it, and all this is brought by Han Chong, and he deserves these applause.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Ms. Wang, Mr. Liu, all the seniors in the antique shop, the reason why I bow my head in the mai line is not that I have face, but everyone's credit, if it weren't for everyone's support, I'm afraid I would have been swept out of the house by the mai line, I want to thank you all for ......"

Han Chong stood up and bowed deeply to everyone in the venue, he was sincere this time, and he could make Pamai Xing publicly apologize, and Han Chong felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Ms. Wang smiled and waved her hand, and said, "Don't talk about this, Xiao Han, when I have time, I will go to Jiangcheng to see your antique shop, and you will introduce me to some good things when the time comes......"

"Hehe, Ms. Wang, the things of my small shop are definitely not in your eyes, but after a while, I want to set up a private museum in Xijing, which is estimated to be a bit interesting, and when it opens, if you have time, please come and guide......"

After hearing Ms. Wang's words, Han Chong's heart moved, and he said that he was going to open a private museum, and these people present were all top Chinese collectors at home and abroad, and if they were willing to contribute, their own museum would not have to worry about no exhibits.

"Oh? Private museum? ”

Ms. Wang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, although many people in China have opened private museums in recent years, but they are all people who have been in the collecting circle for many years and have a certain network and reputation. For a while, Ms. Wang felt a little stunned.

Not only Ms. Wang, but also other people, after hearing Han Chong's words, they also felt a little incredible, although the threshold of private museums is not particularly high, but not everyone can afford to play.

Opening a private museum requires not only a large and rich collection, but also a lot of money, and you know, there are state-owned museums everywhere. And many of them are free to visit, and the prospect of private museums is not very promising.

If a private museum charges a fee, it will be scolded, but it will not be charged, and the maintenance of the collection in the museum, the salary expenses of the staff, including water and electricity, these add up to a lot of money. It's not something that ordinary people can afford.

"Xiao Han, why do you want to open a private museum? It's a thankless task, and by the way, what do you have in your collection now? Let's share it with our big guys......"

After Mr. Liu heard Han Chong's words, he also became interested, and a circle of people cheered and surrounded Han Chong in the middle, this young man was really a little incomprehensible. All of them have greatly increased their interest in Han Chong.

"Hehe, I didn't want to open a museum so soon, but some collections want to be exchanged with some foreign museums. So there has to be a name. Otherwise, the other party won't exchange with me at all, as for my private collections, it's really not a lot, and I'm worried about opening a museum, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on my predecessors to help me when the time comes......"

Han Chong didn't elaborate on the exchange of collections with the Guimet Museum, this matter has not been skimmed, in case it doesn't work out, this is a big talk, but taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Chong wants these people to donate some objects.

"Ahem, Xiao Han, you can go to the front of us, let's shoot objects here, you have exchanged collections with foreign museums, the future is terrifying, when your museum opens, I will definitely go and see ......"

Mr. Liu smiled and patted Han Chong on the shoulder, but he never mentioned the donation of collections, Han Chong was too young, and I don't know what kind of scale this museum can become, just based on Han Chong's words, these old foxes will not make a move.

Second, don't look at these big collectors who often donate cultural relics to some official museums, and all of them are worth millions of cultural relics and antiques, but that is also beneficial.

Just like some enterprises, after donating how much charity money a year, they can be reasonably exempted from some taxes by the local government, the reason is the same, these Chinese collectors present, in fact, there are many people with this kind of thought, although this thing makes people feel a little impure motives, but it is all true.

"Definitely, definitely, all seniors must come to guide when the time comes......"

Han Chong smiled and nodded in agreement, he also knew that there was no evidence, why did others hand over hundreds of millions of objects to him?

After your own museum opens, it's not too late to let others see the scale of the museum and then propose to borrow the collection.

……

"Mr. Han, I take the liberty of asking how the dispute between you and Pamai was resolved?"

"Mr. Han, I'm a reporter from the Evening Française, can I give you a brief interview?"

"Hey, buddy, let's talk about it, is it soft over there?"

When it was time to eat at noon, as soon as Han Chong and the others came out of the conference room, they were immediately surrounded by dedicated reporters.

"I'm sorry, I don't have ...... comment"

took someone else's soft hand, since he has reached an agreement with the mai shop, it is best not to do this downright thing, and when Han Chong went through the transaction procedures for the mai auction before, someone specially explained to him, and Han Chong also nodded in approval.

"This gentleman, may I ask what happened in there?"

"Did you apologize to Mr. Han for filming mai xing?"

"This lady, please stay ......"

Seeing that Han Chong refused to cooperate, the reporters immediately pointed the microphone at the others, anyway, as long as they could get the content of the conversation between Han Chong and the others just now, as for whether the person concerned said it, it was not very important.

"I'm sorry, I don't have ...... comment"

"I'm sorry, but please ask the person concerned about this matter......"

"Please let go, please let ......"

However, these are Chinese collectors from home and abroad. Obviously, all of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are more skilled in dealing with reporters than the other, and from the door of the conference room to the restaurant, no one leaked any tone, which disappointed the reporters.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the reporters were stopped again, because the restaurant was photographed at noon, and these reporters could not enter, so they could only wait outside to stick their heads out. Han Chong, who was watching, shook his head.

After eating at noon, everyone rested for a while, and under the urging of the staff of the Patmai shop, they returned to the Pamai hall.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and friends, due to some small misunderstandings in communication in the morning, the shooting of mai was interrupted. Now the shooting of mai continues, and the next items to be photographed are...... A ...... of blue and white plates during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty in China"

Michaelson, who was standing on the stage, was obviously not as energetic as he was in the morning, due to his deliberate revenge. made the shooting line lose a lot, and at noon, Dennis sprayed a lot of foaming stars in his face, and Dennis presided over the rules at this time. I don't dare to go beyond the slightest.

"Friends can first look at the color page in their hands, this blue and white plate is 38.5 centimeters in diameter, and the glaze is pure. The pulp is thick, the blue and white color is positive but not evil, the bottom paragraph is made during the Kangxi period, after a number of experts have identified, this blue and white plate should belong to the official kiln porcelain of the Qing court...... It is the first time that such a large porcelain has appeared in an international auction, and the reserve price is 500,000 euros, which is a rare opportunity, and I invite you to bid......"

After advocating a lot, Maxon quoted the reserve auction price of this Kangxi blue and white market, and this porcelain is also one of the fine products of this auction mai, in order to save the impact of the morning, he deliberately took the front to auction mai.

"700,000 ......"

"650,000 ......"

"600,000 ......"

"Five hundred and fifty thousand..."

Just when Maxon's words fell, suddenly four or five voices sounded at the same time, which startled Maxon, it is said that although this thing is in demand, it is still his experience, and it will be cold for tens of seconds and minutes before someone bids, so fast and so many people shouting at the same time, it makes Maxson a little uncomfortable.

"Buyer No. 87 bid 700,000 euros, which suddenly increased the price of this porcelain by 200,000 euros, and it seems that the competition for this porcelain will be very fierce......"

However, the name of the "white glove" photographer is not for nothing, and Maxon still identified the person with the highest bid at the first time, although he felt a little strange in his heart, but Maxon was still very happy.

The competition was so fierce at the beginning, and Michelson had every reason to believe that the final transaction price of this piece of porcelain would definitely be higher than the oil painting of Lang Shining that Han Chong photographed earlier.

"Mr. Zhao is really lucky......"

"Well, why didn't I think of it, and started to call the price a little higher?"

"Yes, Lao Zhao is really cunning, but whether Pai Mai Xing is willing to sell this porcelain for 700,000 euros, or two words......"

After Maxson finished speaking, the few people who were bidding just now did not raise their hands to bid again, but talked in a low voice.

Mr. Zhao, who bid 700,000 euros, is naturally full of spring at the moment, although it is possible to only auction this one object this time, but the value of this porcelain is far more than 700,000 euros, such a large blue and white plate, as Maxson said, is extremely rare, and if you take it to China, I am afraid that 20 million rmB will be willing to buy.

Thirty seconds passed...... A minute passed...... Two minutes passed...... Standing on the stage, Michaelson's face slowly became a little ugly, he didn't know why, the price of 700,000 euros, no one raised the price anymore, which made the experienced Mixon feel that something was wrong.

"700,000 euros for the first time, this Qing Dynasty Kangxi blue and white plate, even if it is not a unique product, it is rare in the world, interested friends hurry up and bid, the opportunity is rare......"

The hammer in Maxon's hand slammed heavily on the table, and the language was very demagogic, and he spit out the money from his mouth, but even if he had a lotus in his mouth, the audience was still quiet, and no one responded except for the price offered by Mr. Zhao.

"Friends, the price of this Kangxi porcelain, in the international auction mai market, at least about 1 million euros, maybe you bid again, this porcelain will belong to you, and please actively quote, lose this opportunity may not meet such an opportunity today......"

The clothes behind Michaelson's back at the moment have been completely wet with cold sweat, and he has presided over so many auctions, he is no stranger to the situation in front of him, this is the scene that the auctioneer is most afraid of, and the buyers are "strung together".

Sure enough, the reaction of the people below verified Michaelson's idea, although he said it openly, there was still no one in the audience to quote, and now the price of this porcelain is still 700,000 euros.

Time passed by second by second, the cold sweat on Maxon's forehead had dripped down his neck and into his clothes, and for some reason, those foreign collectors who were interested in Chinese art did not offer a price for this porcelain, in this case, even Maxon was helpless.

"Hey, I said Mr. Michaelson, as the owner of the White Glove, you shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, now that it's been five minutes since the first hammer, do you want to wait until the slap is over? ”

Under the tireless urging of Mixon, more than five minutes passed quickly, but except for Mr. Zhao, who was the first to bid, there was no second person to bid, and finally Mr. Zhao was impatient and simply stood up and blamed Mixon.

"I really don't have any friends bidding anymore......"

After asking again unwillingly, Maxon knocked the hammer twice in succession, and said: "Congratulations to the No. 87 buyer, you have successfully auctioned this blue and white plate during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty in China at a price of 700,000 euros, congratulations again on your ......."

Although he said congratulations, there was no smile on Maxon's face, and he knew that he had encountered the situation that the auctioneer was most afraid of, that is, the buyers were connected together to boycott the mai auction.

This situation is generally extremely rare in the big auction occasions, because the buyers come from all over the world, it is difficult to agree on it, but today I don't know why, they have succeeded in tandem.

It's not that Maxon didn't want to let the auction house arrange the trust to raise the price, but he didn't dare, because if the buyers in the audience were really connected together, then the consequence of letting the sale be the result of the auction house being the item was finally obtained by the auction store.
