Chapter 731: No Reserve Auction
"Oh, I forgot to remind you that this Flower God Cup has no reserve price, which means that as long as the transaction is sold, the Flower God Cup is yours." Just as everyone was looking towards Chen Yi, the auctioneer suddenly spoke.
This made everyone stunned for a moment, there is no reservation price, how confident the owner of this flower god cup should be, I am confident that this flower god cup will definitely be won by everyone.
Generally speaking, in the auction, the owner of the lot will set a reserve price before the auction, if the highest price does not reach the reserve price during the auction, then the transaction will not be established, and the lot will be directly suspended from the auction.
If there is no reserve price, it means that the lot can be sold directly, even if the bid is equal to the starting price, as long as no one is higher than this price.
If there is no reserve price for a lot at auction, this must be explained to all bidders prior to the auction.
This reserve price can also be said to be a psychological price of the owner of the lot, if it does not reach this psychological price, then the lot can not be sold, and it is also an insurance measure for the price of the lot, after all, in the auction, in order to better allow everyone to participate in the auction, the price of almost all the lots is lower than its real value.
Originally, a thing worth 100,000 yuan, the auction house set a starting price of 80,000 yuan, and only one person should pay the price, 80,000 yuan, if there is no reserve price, this thing will be directly sold at 80,000 yuan, plus commissions and the like, but it will lose a lot.
However, in terms of the preciousness of this flower god cup, there is really no need to set a reserve price, but that is under normal circumstances. And now this is the case. It's more complicated than other lots.
"Good. Now the auction continues, four and a half million, Kangxi official kiln colorful September chrysanthemum cup, is a very precious official kiln porcelain, four and a half million Hong Kong dollars, interested friends can apply the price, no reserve price, no reserve price......" The auctioneer prompted after the prompt. It was announced that the auction would proceed.
Hearing the auctioneer's words, some prestigious old men couldn't help laughing, there is no reserve price, how arrogant Wang Shijie should be.
After the auctioneer's words fell, the scene also fell into silence, some people's eyes were still looking at Chen Yi, and some people were looking at the situation in the venue to see if anyone would bid.
If Chen Yi had participated in this auction when he first came to Hong Kong, then they would definitely not wait and see. But now, Chen Yi is well known to Hong Kong people. The owner of the Huashen Cup is in a certain newspaper, which constantly damages Chen Yi's reputation, and has also been forwarded by many media.
On the day of the lottery, Chen Yi donated the 230 million 3T prize directly to the Jockey Club Trust Fund, which is the most concerned news in recent days.
Similarly, at this auction, everyone also knew the news that Chen Yi had discovered the secret method of the firewood kiln and that his master and famous porcelain master Wen Lao had succeeded in making zuò.
If it is true, it means that the firewood kiln is not far from mass production, and this large number is just an adjective, such a precious porcelain, in order to ensure the quality, the quantity that can be made every time is very small.
Rare is precious, any collector, in the face of a piece of firewood kiln porcelain exactly the same as the legend, they definitely have a strong desire, want to have, if the firewood kiln and the flower cup are placed in front of them at the same time, I believe that everyone will not hesitate to choose the firewood kiln.
In this situation of countless Chinese collectors, knowing Chen Yi will more or less help to get a firewood kiln in the future, but if you offend Chen Yi, then it is estimated that it is impossible to get a firewood kiln.
In addition to the firewood kiln, they also saw Chen Yi's calligraphy level, which can be described as very superb, a young man who may grow into the first calligraphy master in modern times in the future can only befriend him, but must not be bad with him.
Everyone is considering these factors, Chen Yi is a young man, but I am afraid that he is the only young man in China, and not only because of Chen Yi's ability makes them hesitate, but also because of Chen Yi's grudge with the owner of this flower god cup.
Now, many people are constantly observing, waiting for who will be the first to bid, the first person to bid is undoubtedly the person who prevents Chen Yishun from getting the Flower God Cup, and is the person who helps Wang Shijie, the owner of the Flower God Cup, to fight against Chen Yi, then, no matter what the purpose is, as long as it is the first bid, it will definitely be Chen Yi's enemy.
With Chen Yi's current financial resources, even if they bid, I am afraid they will not be able to guarantee 100% of the Huashen Cup.
So, many people think about the pros and cons, but they don't want to be the first bird, this is also the truth that has not changed in China for thousands of years, if there is the first person to attract Chen Yi's firepower, then they will continue to bid, but there is nothing left.
In the face of this situation, the auctioneer was not surprised, Chen Yi is now famous, when the auction entered, there were many people who took the initiative to say hello, not wanting to offend Chen Yi because of a flower god cup, it was also expected, if it was an ordinary thing, it would be fine, but this flower god cup was what Chen Yi needed the most.
"Four and a half million Hong Kong dollars, Kangxi official kiln colorful September chrysanthemum cup, no friends are interested, four and a half million Hong Kong dollars, this can be said to be very low compared to the real value of Kangxi official kiln." The auctioneer continued to shout, urging everyone to bid.
And seeing the dead silence of the scene, Wang Shijie's face in the venue changed greatly, how could no one bid, this flower god cup, but it has never appeared in the auction market, how can no one want to buy it, he will never believe it, it is Chen Yi's domineering spirit, which shocked these people not to buy.
"Oh, this gentleman, do you raise your hand to make a bid, but the hand is ineffective, you need to raise your sign to be considered a bid." Suddenly, the auctioneer pointed to a person in the room.
The auctioneer's words suddenly made the nerves of everyone at the scene tense, and they all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the auctioneer's finger, only to see a middle-aged man leaning on the seat, holding a hand high.
Seeing this person, Wang Shijie seemed to see a savior, this person definitely wanted to bid, absolutely.
And the middle-aged man, at this time, found that everyone was staring at him with their eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble, and suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "I, I didn't want to bid, I'm just a little sleepy, stretching my waist." ”
Bidding, this is a joke, he is just a small collector, how dare he go against Chen Yi, mixed with this complicated auction, if he dares to bid, it is estimated that it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow, everyone knows that he has a grudge against Chen Yi, with the influence of Chen Yi and his master in the Chinese antique circle, then he can basically say goodbye to the antique circle in this life.
"Ahem, sir, then stretch your back, and our auction continues." The auctioneer also coughed and said, which attracted laughter from many people at the scene, making the originally quiet and depressing auction hall much easier.
It's just that there is still no one to bid, there are many rich people who come today, as long as they fancy something, they don't care if anyone else likes it, not to mention, grabbing something in the hands of others, this is an honor, but now this flower god cup involves the grievances between Chen Yi and the owner of the flower god cup, they will not do this kind of thing that hurts others and themselves for a flower god cup.
Even if they regret not getting the Flower God Cup now, it is better than a few years later, they regret their bid today.
Wang Shijie looked at this person with great anticipation, but when this person said that he was stretching, he patted the seat handle fiercely, and looked at Chen Yi in front of him.
After waiting for a while, suddenly, there was a person in front of the venue who held up a sign, and everyone's laughter suddenly stopped, who is this person, how dare he be a bird at this time, be Wang Shijie's cannon fodder, and oppose Chen Yi.
This person held up the sign high, then stood up, and bowed slightly to the auctioneer in front of him, as well as the people in front of and behind the venue, and everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw this person's face, and they said Who is so bold, it turns out that the person who bids is Chen Yi.
"Thank you for your uplift, then I will make this first price, and friends who are interested in the Flower God Cup can participate now." After Chen Yi saluted and thanked everyone, he said with a smile.
Many rich people couldn't help but smile bitterly, there may be people who want to participate, as soon as you say this, who dares to bid.
"Mr. Chen Yi should be priced, I was sure before that this Huashen Cup will definitely not be auctioned, because it is what Mr. Chen needs most, and now the price of the Huashen Cup is 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars, interested friends should consider increasing the price, and each increase shall not be less than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars." The auctioneer said with some excitement on his face.
"Four and a half million, four and a half million, there are no friends with a price increase, four and a half million for the first time, four and a half million for the second time, ...... for the second time"
"This is a conspiracy, this qiē is a conspiracy, this qiē is an insider, I want to withdraw the auction, I want to withdraw the auction, why don't you bid, why, is it because you are afraid of Chen Yi, you cowards." When the auctioneer was about to shout for the third time, Wang Shijie, who was sitting in the position, suddenly couldn't bear it, and got erect, his face full of hideous roars.
Many people looked at Wang Shijie indifferently, as if they were looking at a clown who jumped off the beam, they might have sympathized with Wang Shijie, but Wang Shijie's insult was so angry and corrupt, and the trace of sympathy in their hearts had disappeared. (To be continued......)
