Chapter Fifty-Six: The That Lays Eggs
I just heard the three people who came to the stage to introduce themselves, all of them are in the jewelry business, no wonder they fell in love with these materials, they are doing downstream jade jewelry, and they have their own jewelry design companies.
The three of them took out their magnifying glasses one after another, and even the George took out a high-powered identification glass that was high enough to wear on his eyes, and its magnification was nearly a hundred times, which was enough to see any flaws in the jadeite material.
I saw that this piece of glass seed material presents an irregular shape, the longest point is about 20 centimeters, the width is about 10 centimeters, and the thickest part is nearly 5 centimeters, it is a complete piece of high-quality glass seed material, the whole colorless and transparent, there are yellow and green spots locally, the structure is delicate and dense, it is simply the perfect jade material given by God.
"May I ask Mr. Wang, how much is the base price of this piece of material", just after reading it, before he could return to his seat, the European asked in a stiff Chinese language
"Mr. George, the reserve price of this piece of material is 50 million US dollars", in fact, Wang Chao originally wanted to quote 20 million US dollars, but just saw Suo Wencheng's small ornament and took 15 million US dollars, looked at his own materials, at least 5 or 6 can be taken out, and the remaining materials can also produce some earrings, rings and the like, so he gritted his teeth and raised the reserve price by 30 million and quoted a sky-high wool price of 50 million US dollars.
Some people say that since Wang Chao can estimate so many ornaments and earrings and the like, weishenme to these prices to accumulate the quotation, there is also a cost problem, yes, the cost of materials in jade accounts for 90% or even higher, but a high-quality jade carving requires a lot of manual costs, and there are design costs, marketing costs, etc., so reporting 50 million US dollars is not low, and this is a auction, not a fixed price, there will definitely be people bidding, so Wang Chao is not too anxious.
"I'll pay $55 million," Mr. George said eagerly. Even the gentlemanly demeanor of the British was left behind.
"I'll pay $58 million," Weber Kong raised his hand and shouted.
"I'll pay $60 million," Lin Zhenhai also shouted.
"63 million"
"65 million"
……
Zuihou was taken by Hong Kong's Bao Xitai for a sky-high price of $72 million.
Wang Chaole's mouth is almost closed, it seems that he is not afraid of high prices, but he is afraid that you will not have good goods.
After the transaction was completed, Wang Chao stretched out his hand and took out a piece of glass from his suitcase, "Everyone, I have a second piece of jade wool for glass here, and the reserve price is 40 million US dollars."
"MyGod, there's another piece of glass, I'm going to take it this time. $45 million," Mr. George shouted with some anxiety.
"47 million" Lin Zhenhai continued to follow the price.
"48 million" Kong Weber also followed suit.
……
Zuihou was still pocketed by the George from England, and the transaction price was $64.5 million, yes, it was indeed lower than the first one, but it can't be helped, this piece is also slightly smaller.
"Everyone, I still have a piece of imperial green here, and the reserve price is 65 million US dollars" Then Wang Chao once again took out a piece of purity from the suitcase as if he was playing a trick. The whole body is made of dark green jadeite material.
The sound of "bang" startled Wang Chao, and he thought that someone was going to rob him, but when he looked closely, it turned out that George was sitting on the ground in shock. The jade material in his hand also fell to the ground.
Just now, he excitedly snatched the second piece of jade material in his hand and took a step forward, but before he could retreat and sit on the sofa, Wang Chao took out this piece of imperial green again. At this time, he sat on the ass in shock, but he forgot that he didn't retreat, and sat on the ground all of a sudden. The piece of jade material in his hand also let go.
He woke up in shock, quickly picked up the piece of material from the ground, saw that there was no loss, and quickly put it in his arms, and at the same time looked up at Wang Chao, his eyes flashed with excitement:
"Oh, Mr. Wang, China is a magical country, even this kind of superb jadeite material you can take out several pieces, if there is any, take it out together, otherwise my heart will not be able to stand it", I didn't expect him to have French romance and American humor.
"I'll pay 70 million" Mr. Lin Zhenhai from Taiwan's eyes glowed green, staring at the table in front of Wang Chao, if it was night, it was estimated that he would be recognized by the wolf as the same kind.
"75 million" this time it was the Japanese man Fujiki Ichiro, who preemptively quoted a high price, hoping to be able to pocket it.
"78 million" This time, Lin Zhenhai didn't care about his "friends of the Japanese country", and then continued to raise the price.
"I'll give 80 million"
"83 million"
After nearly ten rounds of shouting, Zuihou was sold for $102 million, which was the sky-high price quoted by Fujiki Ichiro, in fact, if it was according to this price, basically the profit would be relatively low, at most, this piece of imperial green could take out 5 bracelets, plus a few earrings, rings and the like, the actual selling price was about $110 million.
But don't forget, this kind of jadeite things, especially this kind of high-end, superb things, its value is very fast, remember that in 2005 Gade auctioned an imperial green bracelet, the auction price was 12 million no, and in 2010, in just five years, the same bracelet, the transaction price reached an astonishing 25 million, almost doubled, it can be seen that in the high-end, luxury market, this kind of superb things are not lacking in the market.
After the auction of these three jadeite raw materials, everyone's eyes changed when they saw him, as if he had become a rooster that could lay eggs, no, a rooster that could only lay golden eggs, NO.1 among roosters.
Wang Chao was not in a hurry, continued to put his hand into the suitcase, this time took out a blue and white porcelain, seeing this, everyone not only smacked their tongues, nothing else, this blue and white porcelain is much stronger than the Lin Zhenhai just now, not only the shape is more beautiful, but also the overall bottle body is more rounded, the glaze is thick but not bright, the texture is clear, and the shade is appropriate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an official kiln blue and white porcelain in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, called the blue and white folded peach bamboo plum vase, please see the peach and bamboo ornaments in the painting, showing the vitality of spring, the glaze is blue, such as covered with a thin layer of clouds, the fetal quality is fine, giving people a delicate and elegant beauty."
Just finished speaking. That Japanese man Fujiki Ichiro took the lead in jumping up, the speed was staggering, even with a practitioner like Wang Chao, it was estimated that if he was not guarded, he would fall for his way.
The boy who came up carefully circled the bottle twice, with a little tears in his eyes, then bowed deeply to Wang Chao, and said in a choked voice:
"Mr. Wang, thank you for bringing out such a beautiful piece of blue and white porcelain, which can be called a national treasure. With a difference of 1 million US dollars, he did not buy the world-renowned Guiguzi descending mountain, and was deeply reprimanded by the patriarch of the family. I thought that unless I was in a museum in your country, I would never see such a beautiful blue and white porcelain again, but I didn't expect to see it again."
I didn't expect this Fujimu to participate in the auction of that famous artifact that year, it can be seen that he also has a soft spot for blue and white porcelain, but Wang Chao was not moved by him, knowing this kind of deferential behavior of the Japanese people, so he said in a flat tone:
"Thank you, Mr. Fujiki, for his love for his own blue and white porcelain. The reserve price of this piece is $30 million."
He set the reserve price with reference to the Guiguzi descending the mountain, although it was higher, but the auction time was a few years ago, and now. It turns out that the price must not be able to be taken down.
"$35 million," Fujiki Ichiro said as he looked at Wang Chao without blinking
"I'll pay $40 million" Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Suo Wencheng participating in the bidding.
It turned out that he had just discussed with Kong Weber that he was going to dig a pit here to bury the Japanese people in it, so he also began to participate in the offer, anyway, he and Wang Chao were also a family. Even if the price is too high, if the Japanese don't buy it, he can break the contract with Wang Chao when he turns around. If Wang Chao dares to say anything else, can Zhang Xinyu spare him?
"43 million" This time Weber Kong was also full of excitement to participate, and the sedan chair was carried by everyone, not to mention that the two of them had just discussed haode.
"I want 45 million" This gnashing voice is none other than Taiwan's Lin Zhenhai, who was very satisfied with the blue and white porcelain bowl just now for 2.3 million US dollars, but he didn't expect Wang Chao to have more haode, not only did he have some hot eyes, but he also joined in.
"Oh, MyGod, the Chinese are crazy" at this time the American Hansen not only muttered quietly, but then he also quoted a price of "$46 million"
"I'll pay $50 million" is the same young man who bought "The Merchant Who Sold Children", who still has a proud look and a cold tone.
At this moment, there was no sound in the underground in an instant, if nothing else, this price was converted into RMB and the price was nearly 400 million, far exceeding the price of the Guiguzi descending map.
"No, I'll pay $52 million", Fujiki continued to follow the price like a red-eyed gambler.
"55 million" young people are also reluctant to raise the offer.
At this time, I saw Fujiki Ichiro take out his mobile phone and prepare to call, but he didn't know that there was no signal on the Weishenme phone, not only was he a little anxious, but he immediately walked up to Kong Weber and said:
"Kong Sang, I can't make a phone call, I need to ask someone in the family, I don't know if you have a wired phone here"
"ととうのままますま�
In fact, he didn't tell the truth, in order to avoid ventilating the news, Kong Weber blocked all the signals here, not to mention mobile phones, even satellite phones can't be called, he hides friends in the basement.
After Fujiki finished calling, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately offered "$60 million".
The young man hesitated for a moment, and then continued to follow "62 million"
"63 million" Fujiki saw that the young man was a little hesitant, knowing that he had reached the bottom limit of the other party's heart, so he would not continue to shout sharply.
"64 million," the young man glanced at Fujiki indifferently
Although the family agreed that he would take down this Ming and Qing Dynasty flowers at all costs, such a high price had exceeded the Guiguzi descent map of the year, so he hesitated slightly, and then quoted a sky-high price of 68 million US dollars.
Now the young man shrugged his shoulders, stopped following the price, and signaled Fujiki to win.
This Fujiki is called a beauty in his heart, and his face shows a smug expression.
Wang Chao couldn't help but smile a little secretly when he saw this, and then took out a second piece of blue and white porcelain from the suitcase, which was almost the same as just now, but the pattern was different, it was a unicorn pattern painted.
"Everyone, the second piece of porcelain in my hand is also blue and white porcelain, which is a treasure in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty in our country, called the blue and white unicorn pattern plum vase, about 21 cm high, it is produced by the Chenghua official kiln, may I ask this unicorn, the head is in the dragon's head, the hair flutters, the painting is exquisite, it is a rare treasure, there are friends who like it can take a look."
"Ah, another one, go and have a look" A group of people gathered around again, and they took out all kinds of exquisite magnifying glasses to watch, and then asked Wang Chao to quote quickly.
Seeing that everyone's atmosphere was mobilized, Wang Chao no longer hid it, and immediately quoted a price that was not much different from the transaction price just now - 65 million US dollars.
Now there is a little cold, nothing else, the price is quoted, giving people not much room for bidding, just hesitating, I heard a person say:
"This porcelain is in better condition than the one just now, and the tire quality is more delicate, the glaze is more realistic, and the painting is exquisite, I quote 67 million"
Wang Chao heard that this person was a little familiar, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be the owner of this room, Kong Weber, not only Waner. I don't know if this person really likes blue and white porcelain or wants to continue to yin this Japanese people.
Unexpectedly, when the vine saw this, he did not hesitate and directly quoted 68 million yuan, it seems that his family is indeed good for blue and white porcelain.
"70 million US dollars" At this time, this Kong Weber seemed to be carrying it with him, and he was still raising the price in Xiangshang.
Fujiki stared at him deeply, hesitated slightly, and then continued to follow the price to $72 million.
There is no suspense, this blue and white porcelain belongs to him again, although there are two pieces of blue and white porcelain in the bag, but this Mr. Fujiki is a little serious, to be precise, he is a little apprehensive in his heart, I don't know if so many family members agree to spend so many at once, although he was asked to get it at all costs, but he knew in his heart that if it exceeded the normal price too much, he still couldn't explain it to his family.
Just thinking about it, he seemed to hear Wang Chao say that there was a third piece of blue and white porcelain, and then he was completely stunned, as if his eyes were full of eyes, staring at the suitcase in Wang Chao's hand, and he couldn't wait to run over and open it to see if there was anything else.
"Everyone, counting the current piece, this time I came to Hong Kong to bring a total of two categories of six antiques, this is now zuihou one, this blue and white porcelain if you are interested in you can take a closer look, you will find that this is a superb blue and white porcelain, than the two pieces of collection value just now, not only because this is the thousand-year-old porcelain capital Jingdezhen production, limited firing, for the emperor alone. Look at the pattern on this, it is nine dragons, it is really used by the emperor who belongs to the true son of heaven, even the crown prince, empress, and concubines have no right to use it" Wang Chao paused, very satisfied with the following reaction, and continued:
"Its full name is Jiulong Chengtai blue and white porcelain bowl, it is said that on the day when this bowl was successfully fired, at the moment of opening the furnace, lightning and thunder in the sky, faintly appeared the body of Jiulong" (to be continued......
