1056.Hitting the Corner (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The monthly pass is urgent, and I hope that my brothers and sisters will support me, thank you for the bullet shell, the bullet shell will work hard! ****
The top-level auctions are like secret meetings, and photography and videography are not allowed throughout the process, in order to protect the rich people who participate in the auction, after all, no one wants to be kidnapped as soon as they go out.
Therefore, ordinary people rarely appear photos when they look at the auction news afterwards, most of them are pure text records, and even if there are photos, they are the auction items and the white-glove auctioneers, not the bidding scenes of the rich.
The rich are free to take pictures, but they don't give them to news organizations because there's no need for that, and they go to auctions only because they're impressed by the hype of the auction and not hype.
The people who can enter the auction are invited by Ritchie Auction House, and they are full of confidence.
It can be seen from this that Little Black has regressed a lot for Qin Shiou, if there is no problem, then Qin Shiou is the first person to participate in the auction through mobile phone video.
There may be a wealthy man who doesn't have time to attend the auction and sends an assistant or friend to come, but the connection between them is by phone, not video.
Because of this, Qin Shiou should be proud.
Canada's broadband speed is very fast, video is connected, Qin Shiou saw that in front of a small auditorium, there was a huge small leaf red sandalwood ramming angle, behind the ramming angle was an auctioneer, and the seats around were densely packed with people.
"There are a lot of people." Qin Shiou exclaimed.
Little Blake said proudly: "Of course, man, you don't look at who is in charge of the propaganda work. Let's be honest, though. Qin, our auction can expand its business so quickly. Thank you again. ”
Qin Shiou understood what Little Black meant, and Ritchie Auction House started the spring auction the year before last. The finale of the next few big auctions was provided by him, which was a great help to the auction.
One of the things that little Blake is most proud of is that when he learned that Qin Shiou had the statues of Borseus and Medusa in his hands, he personally came to negotiate and won the friendship of the other party.
This is also one of the reasons why he was promoted so quickly within the family, and after this time he got his hands on the corner, such an important business activity as the spring auction was directly handed over to him, making him the most anticipated rising star in the family.
After listening to Little Blake's words, Qin Shiou summed up with a classic sentence: "This is the result of our joint efforts." The military merit medal has half of mine and half of yours. ”
The two chatted for a while, and the auction began, and the auctioneer first introduced the ramming horns: the Gribshunden, the flagship of King John of Norway five hundred years ago, made of rosewood, and the demon nicknamed the king, etc.
Now the ramming horn is no longer the watery mess it was when it was first fished out of the sea, and the Ritchie auction house has maintained and sorted it out, re-polishing some rough edges, filling the rotten and broken areas with small leaves of the same material, and even applying a layer of wax to the exterior.
Looking at the impact angle from the camera, the surface exudes a crystal luster. The inside is a noble and elegant purple-black material, the shape is powerful and domineering, and the absolute high-end atmosphere is high-grade.
And that's just from the phone, if in the field. Then the effect is even better.
The auctioneer didn't even need a lengthy introduction, he simply said, and then went straight to the auction: "The reserve price is 45 million US dollars." The markup per stage is an integer multiple of one million and is now officially underway. 45 million ......"
"Forty-six million!"
Immediately, someone raised their hands and shouted, and the voice was very loud. Qin Shiou heard it on the other end of the phone. Little Blake shifted his perspective, and Qin Shiou was stunned to find that this person turned out to be an acquaintance, the most handsome little prince in the Middle East, Hamandan.
And on the left and right of the little prince sat two acquaintances, one was Princess Lori Samarra, and the other was Afif.
The little princess sat dignified on the auction table, in fact, she was very bored, her upper body was straight, but her little head turned around, and she couldn't find anything interesting and yawned.
As soon as Hamdan made an offer, a tall white fat man also raised his hand to quote, this person's voice was relatively small, Qin Shiou didn't hear what price he quoted clearly, it was Little Black who repeated it for him: "It's increased by one million, forty-seven million." ”
The price rose quickly, and Qin Shiou noticed that the people participating in the bidding were all Jews and Middle Eastern tycoons, and lamented whether the world's wealth was concentrated in the hands of these people now.
Little Blake said how it could be, now there are a few Russian billionaires who are also bidding very actively, and it depends on the final result.
The previous lots all completed the bidding quickly, and Qin Shiou opened the video for five minutes, and the bidding continued, but these rich people are very sensible, including the princes and princes of the Middle East, and the price increase is also one million each time, and everyone seems to be more patient.
But after all, the time is there, even if the basic price is only increased at a time, but five minutes later, the price still rises by 20 million, and it has climbed step by step to a terrifying 65 million!
Qin Shiou looked at the calm rich people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what is the gap between the rich and the poor in this society, tens of millions of huge funds, in the eyes of the rich people, it seems to be just numbers, they throw out one high price after another, without pressure!
The waves are rushing, the prices are rising, and the bidders are constantly shaking their heads and withdrawing, and in the end, there are a few Jewish tycoons and Middle Eastern tycoons left.
The decisive battle is always at the last moment, after the price rises to 70 million, even Hamdan and Afif are cautious, and several other Middle Eastern tycoons have withdrawn.
The atmosphere of the auction became heavier, and the auctioneer's voice repeating the price became softer and softer, rather than more passionate, and everything was very abnormal.
After two price increases, seventy-two million, when an elegant middle-aged Jewish man quoted this price, Afif took the lead in shaking his head, and the little princess Samara pulled the prince of Hamdan beside her, who looked at the middle-aged man unwillingly, and finally shook his head.
It can be seen that he failed to win the giant collision angle of this small leaf red sandalwood, and the handsome prince is very unwilling.
At this moment, the auctioneer became energetic again, and he repeated the price three times in a calm and heavy voice, and the hammer fell!
When the sound of the air sounded, little Blake also sighed, and said unbearably excitedly: "Seven two million! Seven two million! ”
For world auctions, this price is nothing, and there are even more exaggerated prices, especially at Christie's and Sotheby's, where there may be several more than 100 million US dollars at a time.
For example, last year, Picasso's oil painting "Algiers Woman (O version)" sold for $179 million in Christie's New York's "Looking to the Past" night sale, which is less than a fraction of the price of others.
However, for little Blake, these works of art do not belong to him, no matter what price is auctioned, he will take a little commission at most, but the collision angle is different, he has dividends, and the transaction price of more than 70 million US dollars, he can get close to 10 million!
