Chapter 424: Jade Carving Auction

The time to go to the imperial capital was set for next Friday, and before that, Qin Yu had one more thing to do that he had been thinking about for a long time. Dust× 緣? Wen? Learn? Net

The last time he went to the basement of Villa No. 36, he noticed that the shelves were already full of overlord jade carvings, and two days ago he called Liu Ming and learned that the new batch of jade carvings would not be completed soon, plus the jade carvings placed in the health bar, the total number was no less than hundreds, and now that the overlord jade has a certain reputation, it is time to make a profit.

Selling a batch of Overlord Jade jewelry with the help of Qingyue Jewelry before, Qin Yu made a profit of no less than 10 million, but for him, it was just a small meaning, this time he planned to make a big noise and directly hold an auction of Overlord Jade, and the location was chosen in the health bar.

After transporting the jade carvings from the villa to the bar in batches, Qin Yu released the news of the auction and asked Chen Jie to customize a batch of invitations, and all members of the health bar would receive one.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of members in the health bar, and if everyone is there, the bar will not be able to accommodate so many people, but it is certain that it is impossible for every member to come, and it would be good to have one-third of them come, so Qin Yu was not worried about the venue.

After some careful selection, Qin Yu selected three jade carvings as the finale auction items, in addition to the large size, the carving is also an important factor, can be selected as the finale, the three jade carvings are also Liu Ming's most satisfactory work.

On the night of the auction, the health bar was full of people, and rows of luxury cars were parked on the side of the road, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

The number of people who came was a little more than Qin Yu expected, he now has a lot of influence in Jiangnan Province, as the so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone, even if some big people can't come by themselves, they will let their children come here to cheer.

The first is to give Qin Yu face, after all, he has sent invitations, if he doesn't go alone, it seems that he will not be able to be a man, as long as there is no enmity between the two sides, he will generally not refute the other party too much.

Second, let their children go to participate in auctions at this level, which can increase their horizons and make more outstanding people, Qin Yu's auction is not everyone is qualified to participate, and those who can step into the health bar are all well-known figures in various industries, so this is a very rare social opportunity.

Seeing that there were no less than two hundred people who came to cheer, Qin Yu, as the host, was still very excited, and before the auction began, he prepared wine and snacks for the guests to taste.

These wines are all more than five years old, and those dim sum are also unusual, all from the hands of the top pastry chefs in the divine realm, unlike those dim sum in the world that add various food flavors, the pastries in the divine realm are made of pure natural ingredients, not only look exquisite and beautiful, but also delicious and healthy.

"Doctor Qin, your bar has really done everything to the extreme, even the quality of the pastries is so amazing, it makes me, the person known as the king of pastries, a little embarrassed!"

The one who spoke was an old man over sixty years old, holding a piece of almond cake in his hand, and he had a very loud nickname in Jiangnan Province, called the Pastry King, because he made a fortune by making pastries, made pastries for most of his life, operated hundreds of pastry direct stores, and had business all over the country's major provinces.

Maybe this old man is not very rich in this group of people, but his seniority and influence are definitely at the forefront, and when he was wandering the mall, Ma Songbai and others were estimated to be still studying in school.

Hearing that the pastry kings were full of praise for Qin Yu's cakes, the people around them were surprised, because on this occasion, gourmet pastries are actually just decorations, and few people will really pay attention to them, so there are many people who drink and talk freely, but there are very few people who eat pastries.

"Even Mr. Feng thinks it's good, then I have to taste it." Liu Qingying, who was on the side, smiled and pinched a piece of walnut cake and took a bite in his mouth.

Soon, a look of surprise appeared on her face, her mouth was chewing slowly, and her eyes were shining.

"Qin Yu, you're not interesting enough, when we came here before, you didn't bring such delicious pastries out to entertain." Liu Qingying pretended to be angry and said.

Smiling slightly, Qin Yu waved his hand and said: "It's Mr. Feng who praised it, I have liked to eat Feng Ji pastries since I was a child, compared to your old pastries, I am nothing, if Mr. Liu likes it, when the auction is over, I will ask you to bring a few boxes back to taste slowly." ”

"That's what you said, don't forget it later." Liu Qingying said with a smile.

At eight o'clock, when the auction was about to start, Qin Yu invited Qin Keke to make a cameo appearance as a host, she had also served as a host at Funing University before, and she had some experience.

Showing her face in front of many bigwigs, Qin Keke was inevitably a little nervous, but thinking of Qin Yu's trust in herself, she kept hinting to herself that she must do what he explained, in order to prepare for this auction, she watched more than a dozen auction videos.

This time, Qin Yu took out a total of seven jade carvings to participate in the auction, the first one was the jade lion that Shi Huaiyu had never forgotten, with a starting price of one million, and each increase in price should not be less than 10,000.

Many wealthy people have a hobby of collecting antique jade, and as soon as the jade lion comes out, there is an endless stream of offers, including Ma Songbai and others, who are among the competitors.

The price climbed very fast, rising by three million in less than a minute, and there are still many people quoting.

Bawang jade products are very popular in the upper class, and the characteristics of their own luminous light make many rich daughters love, and the number is limited, the people of the Jade Association have spread a news that Bawang jade is the smallest reserve of all jade, and many jade exploration experts have also made it clear that the generation conditions of Bawang jade are too special, and it is destined to be impossible to mass produce like other jade.

Why is the blue and white porcelain Xuande furnace so precious, a piece can be auctioned for hundreds of millions of dollars, in addition to its own artistic value, the small amount of survival is a major key, these overlord jade jade carving from the hands of famous artists, although not ancient jade, but the rarity even exceeds the ancient jade, the price will not be too low.

After a period of fierce competition, the Jade Lion was sold at a price of seven and a half million, which was a little lower than Qin Yu's ideal price, but it was understandable.

The auction held by himself is only a small-scale auction, the scope is limited to Jiangnan Province, and many bigwigs have not been there, so it is good to be able to auction this price.

If it is put in those large auction houses, this price may be doubled, but Qin Yu does not plan to do that, in addition to being troublesome, making money is only one of the purposes, he wants to use this opportunity to expand his influence and enhance his voice in the business world, which is also a disguised show of muscles.

The next three lots also sold for good prices, all fluctuating around 8 million, and none of them exceeded 10 million.

"Next, we will invite the first finale of this auction." Qin Keke's clear voice sounded in the bar.

Hearing that it was the finale of the auction, everyone was in high spirits, and their eyes were focused on the stage, and the staff carefully put a jade sculpture of Maitreya Buddha on the booth.

The size of Maitreya Buddha is much larger than the previous jade carvings, the carving lines are soft and smooth, and the face is flushed with a bright smile, which makes people feel very comfortable when they look at it.

Qin Yu did not set a reserve price for the Maitreya Buddha jade carving, and the price increase should not be less than 30,000 yuan each time, and the three finale auction items were all the same.

Listening to the rules, someone immediately offered a high price of 8 million, but then someone increased the price by 2 million, raising the price to 10 million.

The second bidder was the pastry king, Qin Yu had already learned from Liu Qingying that this old Mr. Feng believed in Buddhism and was naturally interested in the jade carving of Maitreya Buddha.

Ma Songbai was the third to speak, and he quoted a price of 12 million, which discouraged many people, according to the previous auction price, 12 million may even buy a Qianlong jade seal, which is somewhat worthless to buy the overlord jade carving.

Turnip greens have their own love, some people think it's not worth it, some people think that the price is still low, and within three seconds, someone raised the price by 500,000.

In the end, the jade carving of Maitreya Buddha was auctioned by a wealthy man in Zhejiang Province at a price of 15.5 million, which attracted everyone's attention.

This price reached the expected goal in Qin Yu's heart, and he originally set the price at about fifteen million, which was not much different from his psychological expectations.

The prices of the next two finale jade carvings were not much higher than those of Maitreya Buddha, they were a little more than 16 million, which made Qin Yu feel a little disappointed, but overall, this auction was also very fruitful.
