Chapter 1159: Establishment of an Auction House
At this moment, whether it was Li Gongzi or that Zhu Gongzi, both hands were tightly holding the long box containing calligraphy.
For Zhu Gongzi, this calligraphy allowed him to see a high level of calligraphy that he could not see in many calligraphy in the court, and it can be said that he was full of surprises, because he found an opportunity to make the Wanli Dynasty leave a strong mark in history.
For Li Gongzi, this calligraphy is also his opportunity, which can greatly improve his status in the family, and can also become his contribution to the family.
Because, so far, there are only three people who have Chen Yi's calligraphy, one is the Wu family, one is the mysterious Huang Gongzi, and the other is him.
That Huang Gongzi doesn't know the details, don't care about it for the time being, and the Huang Tingjing owned by the Wu family is also very different from the calligraphy he got in terms of artistic conception, in his opinion, it may be more than that, not to mention, they are still a bigger family than the Wu family.
Therefore, there will be a lot of people who come to his family to watch calligraphy, and the more people who come, the greater the credit he has made, and perhaps from now on, no one can shake his position in the family.
And the people next to them, with a deep envy and jealousy on their faces, looked closely at the long box in the hands of Zhu Gongzi and the others, eager to grab it now.
After receiving Chen Yi's nodding instructions, Shopkeeper Xu looked at the many sons of the family at the scene, his hands slowly pressed down, and only after the scene calmed down did he speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will announce a piece of news next." In order to make it easier for you to buy the antiques that you like. Hin Leong Pawnshop will be in the near future. You may not know what auction means, but let me tell you that the calligraphy gathering you are attending today is actually an auction. ”
"This auction house, called Xinglong Auction House, will initially use antiques as the main auction items, every auction. Many exquisite and precious antiques will be provided to all of you, so that you can enjoy dozens of precious antiques in a comfortable environment, and you can participate in the auction according to your own heart, which is far more convenient and comfortable than participating in an antique gathering of several items. ”
"In the same way, you can not only participate in the auction, but also hand over your antiques to us for auction and obtain higher profits. At the same time, we issued a summoning order to the entire capital, summoning people who wanted to sell antiques. You can come to Xinglong Auction House for auction, and the benefits you get will definitely be beyond your imagination. ”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Xu had a strong smile on his face, "In order to thank you for your support to this calligraphy gathering, in the next auction, you will be unconditionally qualified to participate, and Huang Gongzi and Li Gongzi, who auctioned Chen Gongzi's calligraphy, will receive VIP membership in our auction house, and can unconditionally participate in any auction held by our auction house." ”
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that at the first auction after the establishment of the auction house, Chen Gongzi will once again take out a piece of calligraphy for auction, ladies and gentlemen, this is what I want to announce."
And many of the sons of the family in the audience, hearing the words of the shopkeeper Xu, have already fallen into a burst of shock, the auction house, in the same way as this calligraphy gathering, and there will be dozens of antiques auctioned at a time.
This made them seem to see a whole new world, indeed, before they went to antique parties, many times, they didn't know what kind of antiques those pawn shops were carrying, if it was just a few ordinary goods, then they would have run in vain.
And now, this Xinglong pawnshop has decided to set up an auction house, which will auction dozens of antiques at a time, and it is impossible for all these dozens to be ordinary goods, not to mention, it is far better to be able to see dozens of antiques than to participate in any antique party.
The people who can participate in the auction are probably the children of some wealthy families, and this is a place to make friends.
Think about it, under the watchful eye, you get a thing at a high price, what a majestic thing.
In addition to participating in the auction, they can also put their antiques in the auction house for auction, through this calligraphy gathering, they already know that this method is special, and it can definitely make the price of a thing increase a lot.
Some of their previous antiques, in addition to getting them to the pawn shop, were sold to some acquaintances, and the prices were also low and low, but this time, they had a new choice to put in the auction house.
Moreover, they also qualified to participate in the next auction, and in this auction, there will also be a calligraphy by Chen Yi, which is a big surprise for them.
"Okay, okay, I support Xinglong Auction House, and I will definitely go to the next auction." At this time, a prince of a family thought of the depths, and was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up and shout loudly.
"I'll be there too." "This auction house sounds pretty good, and I'm going to check it out."
Subsequently, many sons of the family expressed their opinions, through this calligraphy gathering, they know how great the potential of the auction house is, they have long been tired of small gatherings such as antique gatherings, and this auction house can satisfy their prestige psychology.
"Shopkeeper Xu, it's really good that you want to set up such an auction house and provide us with more antiques at a time, but I have a question, that is, can you guarantee that the antiques are genuine, and there are no fakes." One of the shrewd sons of the family stood up and asked the shopkeeper Xu.
Hearing this question, the chaotic scene suddenly calmed down, and many children of the family looked at the shopkeeper Xu with their eyes, whether this antique can guarantee the authenticity is also something they are extremely concerned about.
Shopkeeper Xu showed a smile on his face, as if he already knew that these sons of the family would ask such questions, "We have already considered the questions of your sons, and I forgot to tell you that we have invited Master Li of Baoyuan Hall and Master Wang of Zhenbaozhai to serve as the final appraisers of the auction house, responsible for appraising the antiques to be auctioned. ”
Many of the children of the family showed a touch of surprise on their faces, Master Li of Baoyuantang and Master Wang of Zhenbaozhai, these are the two largest pawnshops in Beijing, among which Master Li and Master Wang are the oldest antique connoisseurs in these two pawnshops.
They didn't expect that an auction house that had not yet officially opened would be able to invite these two masters over.
"Shopkeeper Xu, have you really invited Master Li and Master Wang?" The child of the family who asked the question said in disbelief that if Xinglong Auction House really invited these two masters, then it could really guarantee that the antiques in the auction were genuine.
"Of course, how dare we deceive you, when the auction house officially opens, you will meet these two masters." Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile, these two masters, not something he could invite, but Chen Yi invited him, he was just by his side at that time and witnessed the whole process.
Just two days before this calligraphy gathering was about to be held, he saw with his own eyes that the two masters who had been disdainful of them agreed to the decision to join Xinglong Auction House under Chen Yi's incorruptible tongue.
In addition to the popularity of this calligraphy gathering itself and the superb calligraphy influence of Chen Yi, there is also the desire of these two masters to appreciate more antiques, even if Baoyuantang and Zhenbaozhai are among the best pawnshops, but the antiques that can be appreciated by them every day are also very rare, because no one will send antiques to the pawnshop except for a real lack of money.
However, their auction house is different, in the auction, you can get a much higher price than the pawnshop, and with the help of the huge influence of the calligraphy party, you can imagine how famous their prosperous auction house will be.
In fact, Shopkeeper Xu deeply knows that what impresses these two masters, in addition to the above reasons, is more important is Chen Yi's strong antique identification ability, no matter what kind of antiques these two masters take out, Chen Yi can instantly tell their age and characteristics, including defects.
Chen Yi's strong antique appraisal ability deeply impressed these two masters, so, based on the above reasons, these two masters decided to join this auction house that has not yet been established.
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper Xu's assurance, all the children of the family nodded, a newly established auction house, if it deceived them in this matter, then in the capital circle, it would not be able to get along at all.
The hundred children of the family here here, with their influence, can represent the entire capital of the scholars, without the support of these scholars, what does this auction house rely on to live, relying on ordinary people to participate in the auction, it is impossible.
Hearing that the shopkeeper Xu was going to set up an auction house, Zhu Gongzi's eyes lit up, judging from the way of this calligraphy gathering, this is definitely a very feasible plan, and through this calligraphy gathering, Xinglong Pawnshop has become famous in the capital, and this auction house will have many people involved.
As for the background of the auction house, there is really no need to worry, with Chen Yi's huge fame and ability, many families in the capital, more or less, will become its backing, and it is not easy for other forces to get involved in the auction house.
Of course, except for the official family, he is not too interested in this auction house, he is interested in whether Chen Yi is the author of calligraphy. (To be continued......)
