Chapter 474: Shooting Lang Shining's painting
If there is really no one to bid, why don't you still sit on your own trust below? So the old god of Maxon continued to use words to deceive everyone, he was telling the truth, Lang Shining's work, the lowest appraisal price is 1.2 million euros.
"€800,000 ......"
Finally, after more than a minute of silence in the audience, someone began to bid again, but this time the bidding range was only 20,000 euros, and these buyers in the audience also wanted to buy the painting at the lowest price.
Only when the price is not low or high, and slightly exceeds the psychological price of others, it is possible to use the most appropriate price to shoot your favorite items.
"Okay, buyer 132 bid 800,000 euros, and that friend wants to bid again?"
Hearing that someone raised the price, Mixon was overjoyed, he didn't use his own support, and there was absolutely no problem in completing the task of the auction.
The task set by the auction company for this painting is 1.2 million euros, as long as it exceeds this price, the higher amount, he has a commission, and now Maxon is confident that he can auction this painting for a sky-high price of 2 million euros.
Generally speaking, a lot with a price of 1.2 million euros should have a starting price of no less than 500,000 euros.
But as things stand, and that Maxon's mind is completely relaxed, and he's managed to take control of the situation, the question is, how much more can he sell this painting than it was booked?
"I paid 1.2 million euros, which should be a fair price in terms of the value of the antique itself. If someone bids again, I doubt that person is the one who arranged the auction for Mai Xing?
This thing was snatched by Frey in France back then, and the Qing Dynasty could not let us descendants pay for them, I can buy this painting back, but I can no longer be blackmailed by some people with ulterior motives.
I don't think we can let these foreign devils open the door of our country with guns more than a hundred years ago. Now we are using the looted objects at that time to plunder our own wealth! ”
Suddenly, a clear and powerful voice sounded in the lapping hall, except for the 1.2 million euros at the time of the quotation was said in English, the rest of the words were spoken in Chinese, and the loud words echoed in the huge lapping hall for a long time.
Everyone understands the truth. But no one had ever filmed the mai scene, and after saying such a thing, all the Chinese in the venue were shocked, and they couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction where the sound came from.
The person who stood up and spoke just now was Han Chong, and at this time, Han Chong calmly arched his hand in all directions, and sat back again, without any expression on his face. There was no anger and no joy.
"Who is this young man?"
"I don't know, I'm so young. It seems to have come with Wen Wan, so I turned around and inquired about ......"
"I look at this person a little familiar, as if I have seen ...... somewhere"
"Hey, China is getting bigger, have you seen any of them?"
"Someone who can afford 1.2 million euros, more than 1,000 rmB. It should be a bit of a trick, I don't ask for this painting......"
"I won't call it anymore, what's the point of robbing your own people and your own people?"
"Yes, it's cheaper for nothing. I won't call this painting anymore......"
After Han Chong's words were remembered, the venue suddenly became noisy, everyone was expressing their opinions, and many people were inquiring about Han Chong's origins, but Han Chong rarely appeared in the filming scene, because no one knew him.
However, although no one knows Han Chong, it does not mean that they will not judge the correctness of Han Chong's words, this painting is as Han Chong said, the highest value should be about 1.2 million euros, if he raises the price again, it is indeed a favor to help the Mai shop.
Even some people who originally liked this painting and had strong financial resources, after hearing Han Chong's words, they were embarrassed to increase the price again, and if they raised the price again, they might be pointed at by others.
Of course, some people doubt that Han Chong's motive for saying this is to make it impossible for others to increase the price, but who didn't think of this method? Now I can only pinch my nose and admit it.
For a while, these Chinese buyers in the venue, without any communication, reached a consensus, that is, no one will continue to shoot this oil painting of "Bust of Chunhui Guifei".
"Gentlemen and ladies, please be quiet, please be quiet, buyer 156 bid 1.2 million euros, do you have any friends to increase the price, repeat, buyer 156 bid 1.2 million euros, do you have any friends to increase the price?"
Standing in front of the shooting stage, Mixon only understood Han Chong's previous quote, but in the back Chinese, he didn't understand a word, but Han Chong's words caused a sensation in the field, and Maxon felt a little bad in his heart, he estimated that Han Chong should not have said anything good just now.
Sure enough, after Maxon stopped the discussion in the audience, despite what he said, none of the Chinese buyers in the audience were willing to raise the number plate in their hands anymore, and the smile on Maxon's face became a little stiff.
"Hurry up and check it, I need the information of the No. 156 buyer, and what he said just now, translate it for me immediately......"
Michelson tilted his head slightly, turned his mouth over the microphone on the stage, and used the miniature microphone hanging in his ear to communicate with the organizing committee of the auction.
"Han Chong, amazing, amazing!"
Wen Wan, who was sitting next to Han Chong, didn't expect Han Chong to suddenly stand up and make such a remark, and she didn't react for two or three minutes, until the venue became quiet, and then gave a thumbs up to Han Chong.
After seeing Han Chong's words, the "white glove" photographer on the stage became extremely ugly, and the Chinese collectors in the audience were in a happy mood.
I was careless just now. was provoked by the foreign devil to bid for each other, and now that he comes back to his senses, he naturally knows that he and others have fallen for the foreign devil's scheme, and now he sees that Maxon is deflated, and his heart is naturally very comfortable.
"Han Chong, is this painting worth so much money?"
Bi Yue asked in a whisper beside her. Bi Yue also knew that Han Chong had been short of money recently, 1.2 million euros, which was more than 12 million rmB.
"Value, up to 2 million euros, all worth ......"
Han Chong replied in a low voice, although the place where he was sitting was far away from the booth, it was still within the observation range of Jiaolong, and Han Chong had already detected the authenticity of this painting. It is indeed a genuine handiwork from Lang Shining.
Shining's oil paintings, according to the classification of China's cultural relics, can definitely be assessed as second-class protected cultural relics, Han Chong's museum is now poor and white, and will not let go of these objects.
The state still has strict requirements for the grading of cultural relics, such as Lang Shining's works, which can now only be classified into the national second-class protected cultural relics. However, its collection and market value are not low.
Don't say anything else. There are so many museums in China several times, only the Palace Museum has a collection, which can be regarded as relatively rare, but counting this one, Han Chong already has three or four oil paintings of Lang Shining in his hands, if he can change all the works of Lang Shining in the Guimet Museum. He can now open a separate gallery in his museum.
This is also one of the main reasons why Han Chong made a move, a museum, after all, must have some characteristics, and the works of Qing Dynasty court painters can be used.
And Lang Shining's oil paintings. Although it is far inferior to Picasso's works, it is at most one or two million euros in the international market, but in China, it is normal to auction 20 or 30 million rmB, and if Han Chong can win it with 1.2 million euros, it will definitely be a sure profit.
"Ahem, how can there be a nationalist ......"
At this time, Mixon on the stage had already received the translation from the headset and understood the meaning of Han Chong's words just now, although Han Chong offered a price of 1.2 million euros, which still made Mixon a little annoyed, after all, this was still much different from the auction price he expected.
"1.2 million euros, is there anyone else interested? I can guarantee that this picture of a concubine in the Qing Dynasty of China has a very high collection value, and in another year or two, it will definitely be sold for more than 3 million euros, which is a rare opportunity, and please consider it......"
Maxon continued to incite the Chinese collectors in the venue with his indefatigable tongue, as long as someone made another bid, the current deadlock could be broken, and Maxon's intention could be achieved.
However, Maxon still underestimated the influence of Han Chong's words, although Chinese like infighting, but the people on this occasion are more identious.
And according to the rules of behavior of the Chinese, after Han Chong said those words, if he raised the price again, it would be clear that he would not give Han Chong face.
Although Han Chong looks relatively young, there is an old Chinese saying called: Rather bully the white bearded prince, don't bully the young and poor, there is no simple person who can enter this occasion, who knows what kind of power there will be behind Han Chong? Being a man and leaving a line, this is the idea of many old foxes in the field.
"1.2 million euros for the second time, only the last chance, ladies and gentlemen, the opportunity is rare, miss this precious oil painting, I don't know if there is any in the future, please think about it carefully......"
After a full three minutes, Michelson reluctantly struck the second hammer and made a final effort to encourage the Chinese buyers present.
It's not that Maxon doesn't want to let his trust raise the price once, but he doesn't dare, yes, he just doesn't dare!
This is the first time that Lang Shining's work has been auctioned internationally, and the price is between 1 million and 2 million euros, which is the price set by the organizing committee of the auction after many researches and evaluations.
And the price given by Han Chong is just on the bottom line of people's psychological tolerance, not high but definitely not low, like a fish bone stuck in everyone's throat, if you can't go up or down, you can't go up or down, and you are afraid that it will be expensive to bid again.
Maxon is also in this mood now, because he did not negotiate with the owner of this oil painting before, unlike those lots yesterday, the auction company had an agreement with the owner before the auction started.
But this painting is different, if you let people raise the price and no one follows the price, the auction mai is your own credibility, and you must buy the painting at your own expense, then the fun will be great.
So Maxon hesitated again and again, and finally did not dare to send a secret message to the audience, because the consequences of this incident were unbearable for him.
"Gentlemen and ladies, there is one last chance, otherwise this oil painting by Lang Shining will belong to Buyer No. 156......"
"Okay, your painting has been delayed for almost half an hour, hurry up and proceed below......"
As soon as Mixon's words fell, he was interrupted by an impatient buyer in the audience, these people are very mature middle-aged people, and since they have made a decision, they will no longer be bewitched by Mixon's words.
"Okay, congratulations to the No. 156 buyer, today's first lot, the oil painting of "Bust of Chunhui Guifei" by Qing court painter Lang Shining, belongs to you......"
Hearing the impatient voice below, Maxon knew that his efforts were in vain, and the time was too long, he really couldn't drag it out, and in desperation, he slammed the hammer down, and the first lot of today's special auction fell into the hands of Han Chong.
It's just that although Maxson said congratulations, there was not much smile on his face, he originally planned to attract everyone's attention with the first lot, but now the attention is aroused, that is, the attention is in the wrong direction, and now these Chinese rich people in the venue are more concerned about Han Chong than the lot itself.
"Congratulations, young man, you're so young and terrifying, hey, why do I look a little familiar with your girl?"
A lady sitting in the front row of Han Chong turned around and smiled at Han Chong kindly, but when she looked at Bi Yue, she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about where she had seen Bi Yue?
Han Chong hurriedly nodded back, he was not afraid that Bi Yue would be jealous, because this lady was old enough to be his mother.
"Hello, my surname is Bi, and my grandfather is Bi Junzhuang......"
The lady didn't know Bi Yue, but Bi Yue knew her, and responded politely at the moment.
"Oh...... I know ...... "Ms. naturally knows that the Bi family is a big family, and people play with stones, jade, and jewelry, where is there a shortage of money."
