Chapter 481: The Auction Ends

"This Mr. Zhao is lucky......"

Han Chong looked at the profile of Pai Mai in his hand, and said with a smile to Wen Wan, who was sitting next to him.

"yes."

As you can see from the pictures on the color page, this Qing Kangxi blue and white plate, the blue and white color is pure, even if you look at the photos, you can see that the pulp is very thick, it is indeed the official kiln porcelain in the Kangxi period, the price of 700,000 euros and more than 7 million rmB, Zhao finally took a big advantage.

"What's the matter? Hungry, right? The rules are set by you, but you have the next one today, and you have no chance......"

Wen Wan's gloating joke made Han Chong, but it really moved him in his heart.

Wen Wan still has a net worth of about 300,000 euros, and she can't afford to shoot big things, but some gadgets that others don't look down on, maybe they can bargain. Han Chong really envied her.

Just when Han Chong and Wen Wan were talking and laughing, the lights in the hall suddenly became bright and dim, and a few lights went out, which caused panic among many people in the venue, and some of the female dependents they brought even screamed.

"Han Chong, what's wrong?"

Bi Yue was also a little panicked, and grabbed Han Chong tightly with one hand, this country is not very peaceful, although 911 attacked the United States, but Britain and France are not a good thing, maybe they are also worried about al-Qaeda?

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Han Chong grabbed Bi Yue's hand and comforted him in a low voice, and at this moment, Maxon on the stage also made a sound.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for some special reasons. There is something wrong with the power supply system of the building, and it is now being repaired, please take a rest first, it should be fine soon......"

Michaelson's words silenced everyone in the hall, it was just a power issue, it was nothing. When you take the elevator, you often encounter the situation of being trapped inside.

"I heard that there is an old saying in China, which is called good things and grinds, I believe that you can resume shooting mai in a while, please wait a while......"

After Mixon finished speaking, he left the stage, and then walked out through the side door in the dim light.

"Damn, this must be a deliberate ...... of the film"

Han Chong's gaze stayed on Maxon, after passing through the wall next to the side door. Han Chong found that the lights outside were all good, but it was only in the shooting hall that this situation appeared, no need to ask, there must be something wrong with this matter.

Han Chong guessed correctly, this matter was done by Dennis and Daniel at the behest of the hotel, and the purpose was to connect these Chinese collectors. and to discuss countermeasures.

However, the hotel's power control system is more complicated, and they just cut off the power supply to the Mai lobby. If the guests go out and take a look, they all understand, but the time is short, and Dennis simply uses this scoundrel method.

……

"Mr. Michaelson, didn't you say that things are still under your control? Why are these damn Chinese tandem things happening? I need an explanation! ”

Dennis was about to go crazy at this time, and he was first embarrassed by a hairy boy. Now there is another thing about the Chinese tandem, and Dennis at this time can no longer care about the fact that Maxon is the "white glove" invited by him at a high price, and when Maxson enters the door, he roars loudly.

Maxon was calm at this point, and took out a tissue to wipe off the foaming stars on his face that were sprayed by Dennis. said: "Mr. Dennis, as you know, these Chinese have never been very united, and I didn't think of today's things, but there is still a way......

"What's the solution?"

Dennis hurriedly grabbed Maxon's hand, and Maxon quickly shook it off.

"Price ...... Increase"

Michelson quietly wiped his hands with a tissue, and then said: "Raise the reserve price of the starting auction, only in this way can we ensure that the interests of the auction house will not be lost to the greatest extent......

Although on the color page before the auction of mai, the starting price of each item has already been set, and changing it at will will cause dissatisfaction among buyers, but at this juncture, the auction company will not take care of those.

Generally speaking, the price of the items auctioned at the auction venue is much lower than the actual market price, and if the auction starts according to the original reserve price, the auction house is the owner, and it is impossible to explain.

Fortunately, whether it is domestic or international, such an overlord clause is popular, that is, all the right of interpretation belongs to the organizer, and even if others are dissatisfied, there is no way to do it.

"Okay, let's do it, double the current reserve price of all unauctioned items, and even if the auction fails, we can't let those damn people take advantage of it......"

After hearing Maxon's words, Dennis thought about it for a while, and then made a decision, there are many unsold objects, which will definitely affect the reputation of the auction company, but Dennis is not willing to auction the mai store to lose money and make money, after all, there are some lots, he signed an agreement with the owner, if the price cannot be auctioned, it is necessary to pay for the auction mai line in advance.

In order to do a good job in this special auction of Chinese art, Dennis has made a lot of money, just to persuade those who have precious Chinese antiques in their hands, he spent a lot of effort to get others to agree to take out the collection to auction MAI, but from the current situation, this auction is obviously a failure.

……

"Ladies, sir, I'm really sorry to have just frightened everyone, now that the power is restored, the shooting MAI continues...... The following collection to be auctioned, the same is a porcelain, it is the Yongzheng official kiln azure glazed flower goose, this lot is more precious than the previous blue and white plate, the number of surviving is very small, its starting price is ...... 1.6 million euros! ”

After Maxon returned to the mai stage, he said a word about the power problem just now, and directly threw out the next item to be auctioned mai, but this time after Mixon finished bidding, the audience was quiet, and no one opened his mouth to quote.

On the color page printed by the auction club, it can be clearly seen that the starting price of this Yongzheng official kiln azure glazed flower goose is only 800,000 euros, but Maxson quoted 1.6 million, and the price has doubled. Is it worth it when everyone is in their hearts?

Han Chong is also looking through the information of this porcelain, the whole object has a large mouth and a small bottom, about 16 centimeters high, but the diameter is about 13 centimeters, although the shape of the vessel is relatively small. But it is very atmospheric, and the glaze is pure, and the price of 1.6 million euros does not seem to be unconsiderable.

"Wen Wan girl, if you shoot it, within 2 million euros, you will have a profitable ......"

Han Chong himself has already made a move, of course he will not break the rules he has set, but the gentleness around him can be filmed. Even if you can't get it yourself, your friends take advantage of it, that's a good thing.

After Wen Wan heard Han Chong's words, she reflexively wanted to hold up the sign, but she put it down as soon as she moved, looked at Han Chong and smiled bitterly: "Brother, I want to shoot, but the money is not enough......"

Gentle full net worth. However, it was only four or five hundred thousand euros, and yesterday I photographed a saber of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Now he can only take out about 300,000 euros and let him shoot this 1.6 million euros porcelain, this girl is powerless.

"Shoot first, if you don't have enough money, I'll lend you, if you can't do it, you should take it for me......"

Han Chong is now in the museum is short of objects, this Yongzheng official kiln azure glazed flower goose is as Michael said. It is extremely rare and can be assessed as a national first-class cultural relic, but since Han Chong has seen it, he is unwilling to let it go.

Wen Wan nodded and said, "Okay." Then I'll shoot it for you......"

"One million euros, I bid one hundred and seventy thousand euros for this porcelain......"

Just when Wen Wan was about to raise the number plate, Ms. Wang in front of her took a step forward and just raised the number plate in her hand, breaking the silence in the field.

"Buyer No. 89 bid 1.7 million euros, do any friends offer again?"

"Okay, Yongzheng Guan Kiln Azure Glazed Flower Goblet was auctioned by the No. 89 buyer at a price of 1.7 million euros, congratulations to this lady, the next is the third lot today, it is ......"

Maxon knew that these Chinese people in the field had already been connected in series, and he didn't bother to ask more, and after a three-minute routine question, he knocked down the mallet, and this valuable Yongzheng official kiln porcelain fell into Ms. Wang's hands.

"Xiao Han, you are very good at gambling stones, and your ability to look at antiques is not bad......"

After Ms. Wang successfully photographed this Yongzheng porcelain, she turned her head, looked at Han Chong and smiled, she was born in a family of collectors, and her favorite is porcelain, it can be said that if you want to make a price assessment of this Yongzheng porcelain, there is no one in the field who can price it more accurately than her.

"Ms. Wang, you are laughing, the main reason is that there are too few collections in my museum, so I want to take a few more pieces and bring them back, so that the Chinese people can see these exquisite works of art, which is my greatest wish......"

Although the thing was cut off by others, Han Chong was not too disappointed, and said something that he didn't believe in with righteousness in his mouth, and continued to watch the progress of the shooting meeting.

After that, the process of auctioning mai was more like going through the motions, the price of each item that was auctioned was inconsistent with the promotional color page, and some buyers raised questions, but they were blocked back by Mixon's words of temporary decision by the mai party.

The explanation given by the auctioneer is that, according to international practice, the starting price of the item has the right to change temporarily, and for example, the starting price of the first item is much lower than that on the promotional color page, and it is normal to raise the price now.

Due to the change of the starting price of the auction house, the process of bidding for mai has become calmer, and there is no hot bidding, and after the reserve price of each item is quoted, everyone has to weigh the value of the item before deciding whether to bid or not.

However, in this way, the process of auctioning mai is much faster, basically every object is sold after the first bid, and some antiques with too high reserve prices, if no one increases the price on the reserve price, it is a lost auction, more than 30 antiques from China, at about five o'clock in the afternoon, all the auction mai ended.

Adhering to the rules he had set, Han Chong didn't make another move, but Wen Wan used 270,000 euros to shoot a Qing Dynasty Longquan sword, which almost hollowed out Wen Wan's family background.

Before leaving the shop, Han Chong, Ms. Wang, Mr. Liu and others exchanged contact information, and many collectors from China had a good impression of Han Chong.

Especially Mr. Zhao, who took a cheap photo of the porcelain, was naturally grateful to Han Chong for proposing this method, and even invited Han Chong to visit his private collection after returning to China.

……

"Sister Wenwan, I'm going to London tonight, do you want to stay here or go to England?"

After returning to the hotel, Han Chong looked at Wen Wan, who was playing with the Longquan Sword in his hand, and asked.

Wen Wan carefully wiped the sword with a white cloth, then put the sword into the sheath, raised her head and said, "I'm almost penniless, why are you staying here?" ”

"I'll go back to China tomorrow, pack up all the swords I have collected at home in England and bring them back to China, and your museum will keep a good exhibition hall for me......

Her own strength is not enough to open a museum, she can borrow Han Chong's place to fulfill her long-cherished wish, Wen Wan still attaches great importance to this matter, although the name cannot become a sword museum, but she can show her collection in front of the world, Wen Wan is already very satisfied.

"Okay, even if you don't want to, I'm going to pull your ...... hard"

Han Chong replied with a smile, if you didn't have Wen Wan's hundreds of swords, and only with her dozens of antiques, you wanted to open a private museum? It's purely a joke in the world, not to mention that the museum has nothing to exhibit when it opens, even if it is a previous declaration, no matter how relevant it is, it may not be able to pass.

"Then let's go together and make my plane back?"

"I also want to go back with you and make a plane for the local tyrants. But I may not be so early, and even if I go back, I will have to stay for two more days, and there is a legal matter and a client to ask me for advice. ”

"Okay. Then see you then. ”

"Yes."

After saying goodbye to Wen Wan, Han Chong pushed off the hotel room, and Bi Yue took Xu Guang and Xingxing to the Paris airport by car.

Yesterday, he asked Gu Cheng to contact the route, and he could fly directly to London tonight.

Sitting on his private jet and waiting for about an hour, he received a notice that the airport could take off, and the plane pierced into the sky like a sharp sword, and this trip to Paris was officially over, but Han Chong had an impact, and in the next few days, it was spread all over the world. Han Chong's influence has also expanded to Europe. (To be continued......)
