Chapter 61: Bidding
"Hahaha, are you sure this isn't a Y pot?"
"Who gave He Lao's birthday gift, no wonder He Lao wanted to take it out for auction."
"I'm laughing to death, who sent this?"
"I don't want to give it to me for nothing."
About half of the people sitting at the bottom have some research on antiques.
They have a unique vision, and they can generally tell at a glance whether the collection they put up for auction is good or bad.
For example, the ten pieces of collection that He Lao took out for auction before, each of them was sought after by everyone, and the bidding was quite fierce.
But now, it seems that it can't get into the eyes of the guests.
Chen Feng was bored scrolling on his phone, but when he heard everyone's laughter, he couldn't help but raise his head and take a look.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, he also hooks the corners of his mouth.
Zhu Sansong carved bamboo lotus leaf wash.
In the antique market, Zhao Heli bought it as a birthday gift for He Baochuan.
The auctioneer's face was slightly embarrassed, but he still made a brief introduction to the auction items.
"The full name of this bamboo carving is Zhu Sansong carved bamboo lotus leaf wash, from the hand of Zhu Sansong, a master carver in the Ming Dynasty, you see, the bottom petiole of the bamboo carving rotates, stretches an old lotus, and the petals are fat and short......"
The auctioneer explained very carefully, but there were very few people listening to it.
Everyone's faces were absent-minded, and their eyes occasionally glanced at the auction items on the table, and most of their eyes were disgusted.
Not to mention that some people have shown interest in this bamboo carving.
"Okay, the above is a brief introduction to this bamboo carving, and then the auction will begin, the starting price:"
"Three million!"
As soon as the reserve price was announced, everyone present was in an uproar.
"That's it? Three million, I'm afraid the person who made this offer is crazy, right? ”
"Don't say 3 million, I don't want 30,000."
"Don't say that, after all, this is an auction held by He Lao, and his old man's face still has to be seen."
"You guys shoot, I'll swipe my phone first."
There was a lot of talk at the bottom.
But for five or six minutes, no one raised their cards.
The scene was a little awkward.
The auctioneer cleared his throat and raised his voice to shout again: "Starting price, three million!" ”
Still no one held up the sign.
There are no blind bidders.
This is the first time an auctioneer has encountered such a situation.
Just as he was embarrassed and a little overwhelmed, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Everyone, listen to me!"
Chen Feng felt that this voice was familiar.
He didn't need to look up to know that the person who spoke was Zhao Heli.
Just thinking about it with his toes, he knew that no one wanted to auction his bamboo carvings, so he naturally wanted to stand up and say a few words for himself.
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
Hang Lung Real Estate is well-known in Yaoshan, and Zhao Heli is the company's deputy general manager.
"This bamboo carving is a treasure that I found after a lot of hard work."
"As we all know, the bamboo carving of the Zhu family was famous in the Ming Dynasty, no matter where its works are placed, but it is the focus of attention of the audience, and this lotus leaf washing bamboo carving is a fine product in the bamboo carving."
"When I first saw it, I couldn't put it down at first sight, and I didn't hesitate to buy it from a private collector at a high price, thinking of giving it to He Lao as a birthday gift."
"Today, at this grand birthday banquet, He Lao will take it out as one of the auction items, which fully demonstrates He Lao's recognition of it."
"So, all of you, I'm sure you're all knowledgeable people, so what are you hesitating about?"
Bang Bang Bang!
As soon as the words fell, a burst of warm applause broke out from below.
"That's a good point, I can tell at a glance that this collection is extraordinary!"
"Mr. Zhao is young and promising, and he is really a model for my generation to learn!"
"Will the starting price of 3 million be too low, even if it is 30 million, I think it's worth it!"
"I filmed, none of you should rob me!"
After Zhao Heli finished speaking, the attitude of the people present was completely different from before.
"Three and a half million!"
"Four million!"
"Five million!"
"Five million two hundred thousand!"
“……”
Originally, no one auctioned the bamboo carvings, but now there is an endless stream of auctioners.
The price has skyrocketed from three million to six million, and it is still going up.
The expression on Zhao Heli's face became more and more proud.
Chen Feng ate the dessert on the plate while watching the flattery of the guests with amusement.
"Chen Feng."
He Wanting came to the hall, sat on the edge of Chen Feng's seat, saw the lot being auctioned, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the bamboo carving we saw in the antique market last time?" ”
Chen Feng smiled but said nothing.
He Wanting frowned, and said with some doubts: "Zhao Heli gave it to grandpa as a birthday gift, but what I don't understand is why grandpa took it out for auction and refused to tell me why." ”
He Wanting held her chin with one hand and looked at Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, can you guess the reason?" ”
Chen Feng put away the smile in his eyes and shook his head pretending to be confused.
He Wanting shrugged, picked up a small fork, forked a small cake on Chen Feng's plate and ate it.
"I'm starving."
The auction continues.
Chen Feng looked up and found that the auction price of the bamboo carving had now been called to 10 million.
From 3 million, which no one cared about, to 10 million now, this price is a lot of money at today's auction.
"Chen Feng, that day in the antique market, you originally said that you wanted to buy it, but later gave it to Zhao Heli, which ......"
He Wanting looked at Chen Feng and met his playful eyes.
As if she suddenly understood something, Sakura's lips opened slightly.
Chen Feng winked at her and motioned for her to continue watching quietly.
The auctioneer on the stage was obviously a little emotional right now.
"Twelve million! The auction price has now reached 12 million! ”
"Is there anything higher? Thirteen million! Thirteen million! ”
"Fifteen million!"
“……”
Zhao Heli stood up from his seat, clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you!" If you want to talk about business with us in the future, I will do my best to strive for win-win cooperation! ”
As soon as these words came out, there were suddenly more bidders.
Prices have skyrocketed at one point.
In the end, the price was shouted to 30 million.
From three million to thirty million, the price has been increased tenfold in just ten minutes.
"Thirty million once!"
"Thirty million twice!"
"Is there anything higher!?"
The auctioneer looked around the room, and then excitedly exclaimed, "Thirty million three ......."
Just as the auctioneer was about to make the final decision, a clear voice suddenly came out of the corner of the hall.
"A fake is 30 million, it's not worth it......"
