Chapter 266: Waiting for the show to begin
Half an hour later, Ye Yi returned to his seat.
Long Jingli couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Xiao Yiyi, what were you doing when you went out just now?" Are you going to surprise Yi Qiuling?! ”
Ye Yi smiled and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?" ”
"As soon as I look at you, I know you're a worse bacus than me."
The dragon saluted and laughed evilly.
Ye Yi glanced at him, and at this time, the video was played, and the charity auction officially began.
Compared with any previous auction of the Fortune Auction House, there is no difference, except that all the proceeds of the auction will be donated to the foundation for charity, which is nothing more than the auctioneer coming to the stage, introducing the lots, announcing the starting price, and after a round of bidding, the hammer is finalized!
But after all, this is an auction specially held by Qixia Group in order to show its strength, and in addition to the display table for the lots, the small podium left for the auctioneer is also prepared for a circle of sofas.
The circular sofa that allows people to enter the whole circle is opposite each other, and between each two sofas is a round table, on which are placed brand-name cards, fresh melons and fruits, and white porcelain tea sets.
The sofas were still empty, but the unexpected arrangement left the guests jaw-dropping.
What's the situation?
Could it be that in addition to the auction, there will be a tea party today?!
There were good eyes to squint and peek, and found that what was written on the famous brand card was actually a famous old expert and old scholar in the antique industry, and he immediately gasped!
It is not for nothing that experts are invited to attend the auction, but none of these names on the card are not the most important characters in the antique shop, and Qixia Group can actually invite so many influential and high-status figures in the Beijing circle to hold an auction, how much preparation and how much face!
You must know that many old experts in the antique industry are really from famous families, but they can't be invited if they don't have connections and face for throwing money. Especially the one in the middle of the position, the old gentleman is now in his nineties, is the former director of the Forbidden City, everyone in antiques, calligraphy, painting and gold and stone, apprentices and grandchildren are already giants in the industry, and he himself is the existence of Taishan Beidou, and the eight sedan chairs may not be able to invite out of the mountain.
is worthy of Hu Shao's fiancée!
The peers of the antique industry were shocked, and completely eliminated the idea of competing with Qixia Group in the field of antiques!
The opponent is so powerful, how else are they going to play!
It's just that one thing is puzzled, all the lots in the charity auction have already been appraised by experts once, why do you have to invite everyone out of the official auction?!
On-site appraisal again?
Or to show the strength of the Fortune Auction House!
In the puzzled eyes of the crowd, Yi Qiuling stepped onto the podium.
She stood in the brilliant place of the light, smiling like a flower: "Everyone, welcome to the charity auction of Qixia Group, today's auction has a special expert seat, in order to convey a fact to everyone." ”
She paused for a moment and said, "The antique business has always been a mixture of dragons and snakes, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. In order to express our determination, today's auction specially invited the most respected old experts in Beijing as special guests, and invited them to talk about antiques on the spot, I hope you can like it. ”
After speaking, Yi Qiuling bowed slightly at everyone and stepped off the high platform.
This is a scene, but the meaning of the words is very obvious.
Through this move, Qixia Group promised the VIPs participating in the competition that all the auction items today are genuine, and the antiques handled by Fortune Auction House must be genuine!
At the same time, she also used this move to tell her colleagues at the meeting: You are not qualified to fight with me!
After understanding Yi Qiuling's thoughts, everyone laughed.
The guests who were interested in bidding smiled and said, "Mr. Yi, you are so polite." ”
The colleagues at the meeting smiled and said: "Mr. Yi, you really have face!" ”
Yi Qiuling saw that the goal was achieved, waved everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Now, we invite our experts to sit down and give you some guidance!" ”
When the guests heard this, they applauded warmly.
Under the guidance of the employees of Qixia Group, a column of experts walked up to the stage with their hands behind their backs, shook hands with Yi Qiuling cordially, and greeted each other.
Chu Tiankuo applauded perfunctorily while saying to Ye Yi: "I now understand why you hate her so much, I also hate her a little." ”
Ye Yi didn't speak, and the corner of his eye looked at Chu Tiankuo and Xi Shiyuan beside Chu Tiankuo.
Xi Shiyuan is a son of a family and does not easily express his dissatisfaction in public, but Yi Qiuling's excessively high-profile behavior obviously aroused his disgust, and his brows were slightly furrowed on his warm face.
Then, the auction officially began.
Today is the first auction held by Yi Qiuling as the chairman of Qixia Group and Hu Junsheng's fiancée, a total of 9981 lots have been prepared, covering calligraphy and painting, porcelain, jade, bronze, gold and stone, purple sand, coins, stamps and many other categories, there are popular and unpopular, most of the collections are modern, only a small number of collections are ancient and full of antiquity.
There will always be items in the auction, and today's auction is an auction for Yi Qiuling to show her strength, half of the scene is antique peers, half of them are Beijing contacts, everyone is a loach, and they know what to do to be the best support.
Therefore, almost everything is laid out, and it is customary to listen to the expert's explanation, and then quote.
After the quotation is completed, the antique peers will first look at the powerful people next to them, and ask them to give priority to bidding, if there is no powerful network to buy, according to the original ownership of the item to bid for the brand, basically every thing is three quotations can be concluded, the transaction amount is not good or bad, are the expected range of the organizers.
There were more than 100 people at the venue, and there were a total of 81 lots, which was more than enough to be evenly distributed by each person.
As a result, in just two hours, half of the collection has been auctioned.
Xi Shiyuan photographed two pieces of Ming and Qing Dynasty hollow jade carving, this carving is to open the whole piece of jadeite surface a few small hollows with a diameter of only a few millimeters, the craftsmen use skillful skills to completely hollow out the inside, the outer layer carved into a gold wire cage, this is popular in the salt merchant era for the extreme waste and impractical skills used to show off wealth, now because of the crazy appreciation of jadeite, almost no one is willing to waste such a large amount of fine jade.
Chu Tiankuo took a few paintings and calligraphy, all of which were modern works, and the quotation was just right, neither good nor bad.
Long Jingli obviously had no interest in collecting, so he took a purple clay pot meaningfully and prepared to give it to his old man.
Huang Mantang photographed a piece of gold and stone rough, and he barely looked at the collection on the spot, purely not to let others feel rude.
Ye Yi didn't shoot anything, she waited for Yi Qiuling to deliberately conjure up the last piece in order to top the lack of double-legged tripods.
