Chapter 13 Bidding for Qing Dynasty Vases

Wang Wenjing took Cheng Hao to the auction hall on the second floor and arranged a VIP seat in the front row for him.

"I still have some things, I'm going to host the auction later, you can take a look at it first." Wang Wenjing said.

"Well, you go get busy." Cheng Hao nodded.

At this time, Cheng Hao saw that Ma Jun and Liu Tingting had also entered this hall, and sat down two rows behind him.

People who came to participate in the auction entered one after another, and soon the venue was full of people and lively.

Jingzi Auction House is one of the most famous and authoritative auction houses in Jiangnan, because Jingzi Auction House has Zhong Lao's shareholding, and its reputation and strength are guaranteed.

And it is rumored that Wang Wenjing is the first beauty in Jiangnan, and many people come here to participate in the auction in order to see her beauty.

A quarter of an hour later, the auction began.

Wang Wenjing wore a black hip-wrapping skirt and stepped on high heels and walked onto the hosting stage.

The venue fell silent instantly, and all eyes were on her.

"Welcome, guests, I am Wang Wenjing, the owner of Shizuko Auction House, and I will preside over this auction today......"

Wang Wenjing delivered an opening speech on the stage, and talked about the auction rules and some regulations in general.

In fact, every antique auction house, the rules are similar, the host quotes, the auctioneer follows the price, a single price increase is at least 10,000 yuan, if someone falsely declares the price and leads to a failed auction, a penalty of 50% of the bidding fee, and pull into the blacklist of all auction houses.

"The first lot of the day, please......"

A glass case was brought to the table, and inside was a cyan vase, the details of which were projected on a large screen.

Wang Wenjing said: "This is a Qing Dynasty porcelain vase, made in 1910, relatively well preserved, 55.5 cm high, 25 cm diameter of the base, 22 cm diameter of the bottle. ”

The porcelain of the Qing Dynasty is much worse than that of the Ming Dynasty, relatively cheap, if it is such a large porcelain vase of the Ming Dynasty, the price is at least more than 5 million.

However, there are very few Qing Dynasty porcelain, so the collection value is not low, and if the vase in front of you is genuine, it can be worth about 1.5 million.

"Due to the anonymous auction of the owner of this vase, it is impossible to issue an appraisal certificate, please identify the authenticity by yourself, and the auction house will not be responsible for any loss."

According to the regulations, if there is no appraisal certificate, the auctioneer can go to the stage to personally inspect it up close and determine the authenticity.

Soon, people came to the stage one after another to check, and everyone looked around the vase and discussed with each other.

Cheng Hao also ran to the stage and joined in the fun.

"The texture and pattern of this vase are all in the style of the Qing Dynasty, and I think it may be true." A white-haired collector nodded.

Others also nodded: "Well, it makes sense, I think it's real when I look at it." ”

Dozens of collectors, as well as connoisseurs, unanimously agreed that the vase was genuine.

Cheng Hao walked up to the vase and leaned over to sniff it.

"Porcelain vases, fakes imitated by modern techniques, have low value."

This vase is a fake!

Cheng Hao resisted the impulse in his heart and turned back to his seat.

Although he knew that the vase was fake, he was not obligated to tell anyone else.

After all, there are often times in the treasure industry when you look away, and you can't complain about others when you buy fakes, so you can only blame yourself for being clumsy.

Besides, this is Wang Wenjing's field, if he tells everyone that this vase is fake, the deal will definitely be yellow.

All Cheng Hao didn't say anything, and went back to his seat to watch the show, wanting to see which unlucky ghost bought the vase in the end.

At this time, Cheng Hao saw Ma Jun and Liu Tingting also come to the stage, circled around the vase, and then came down again.

Could it be that Ma Jun wants to bid for this vase?

The corners of his mouth suddenly raised into an evil smile.

After a few more minutes, Wang Wenjing shouted: "The appraisal time is over, the auction will begin, and the starting price is 500,000!" ”

Since everyone unanimously determined that the vase was genuine, no one raised doubts, and soon bidding began.

The white-haired collector just now was the first to shout: "I'll give 550,000!" ”

Then someone followed the price: "I'll pay 600,000!" ”

"700,000!"

"750,000!"

……

In less than a minute, the price of this vase has reached 1.15 million.

"1.15 million, once! Is there anyone else following? ”

At this time, the voice of the quotation gradually decreased a lot, and no one followed it anymore.

Although the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty has collectible value, the market price is not high, and it is already the limit when it reaches more than one million.

"1.15 million, twice!"

Wang Wenjing was about to hammer the final word, when Ma Jun suddenly stood up and shouted: "I'll give 1.2 million!" ”

A small exclamation sounded in the venue, and Wang Wenjing also glanced at him with some surprise.

Ma Jun was secretly happy in his heart, if he took a picture of this vase, he would definitely leave a deep impression on Wang Wenjing's heart, and he would find an opportunity to ask for her contact information when the time came......

At this time, Liu Tingting was jealous again, hugged Ma Jun and said coquettishly:

"Where did you get so much money to buy this vase? The last time you took me to buy a necklace, you couldn't even take out 50,000 yuan, so you deliberately lied to me? ”

Ma Jun coaxed her and explained to her: "This is my father's company's money, my mother's birthday next week, my father asked me to buy an expensive gift, don't be angry, baby, when I buy this vase, I will take you to buy bags and clothes." ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

When Liu Tingting heard that he was going to buy bags and clothes for herself, she immediately smiled.

"1.2 million, once!"

"1.2 million, twice!"

"Is there anyone else who is following the price? If not, the hammer will be hammered! Wang Wenjing said on stage.

Cheng Hao stood up and raised his hand: "1.3 million!" ”

The audience was amazed.

Ma Jun looked confused, why is this kid bidding with me? What does he want this vase for?

This time, even Wang Wenjing was stunned, and looked at Cheng Hao in surprise with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Cheng Hao smiled and winked at Wang Wenjing, giving her a look and telling her not to worry, he had a certain number in his heart.

This look fell into Ma Jun's eyes, and a cloud of anger suddenly ignited in his chest.

"I'll give 1.5 million!" Ma Jun shouted loudly.

Cheng Hao immediately increased the price by 300,000 yuan: "I will pay 1.8 million!" ”

Ma Jun almost shouted in a roaring voice: "I'll give 2 million!" ”

Wow!

The auction hall exploded, and the audience was in an uproar.

Are these two people crazy?

A Qing Dynasty vase without an appraisal book was auctioned for 2 million, and if you buy a fake, you won't even know your grandmother.

Wang Wenjing was a little anxious for Cheng Hao, she wanted to suspend the auction several times and ask Cheng Hao, a stupid man, what was going on in his head.

Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this.

Wang Wenjing hurriedly counted down: "2 million, once, 2 million, twice!" ”

"Deal!"

It's strange that Cheng Hao didn't bid again this time.

"Congratulations, this gentleman patted this Qing Dynasty porcelain vase."

Ma Jun stood up and laughed, and raised a middle finger in the direction of Cheng Hao to humiliate him.

At this time, Cheng Hao got up and smiled: "Congratulations to Boss Ma, congratulations on buying a fake vase......"
