14 The atmosphere was warm
In the first two days of the preview, there were very few visitors to the exhibition hall. But everyone who comes to visit will be deeply shocked by two heavy treasures of more than 10 million levels.
Qi Baishi's "Autumn Flavor Map" and Zhou Li's bamboo carved pen holder also have very high artistic value, although the price is not as good as the two heavy treasures, but in their respective fields, they are also rare treasures, and naturally attract countless people to stop and appreciate.
After the fame of the four treasures spread through the mouths of these people, more and more people came to visit. On Saturday and Sunday, the daily flow of people has exceeded 50 people, including some extremely powerful businessmen and entrepreneurs.
Weekend evenings, the Ancient Rhyme Auction Hall.
Before the auction began, there were more than 50 buyers. Compared with the previous auctions of Gu Yun, the number of people present is naturally not large, and it can even be said that it is rare. But more than half of these people have extremely strong economic strength, and they are all qualified to bid for tens of millions of treasures.
The first time he was preparing for the auction, Lan Tianyu did not have any personal connections, and he was already very satisfied with half a hundred people participating in the auction.
After the auctioneer reiterates the auction rules, the bidding begins.
The first to be auctioned is Qi Baishi's "Autumn Flavor".
Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting works have been showing a clear upward trend in recent years, and this "Autumn Flavor Picture" is a rare masterpiece, which will definitely trigger the climax of the auction and mobilize the atmosphere on the field.
After the auction began, the starting price of 1.5 million yuan skyrocketed, and in less than five minutes, the price exceeded 2 million.
"The gentleman in the middle bid two million and one million."
"The price is back to the left rear, two and a half million!"
"The lady in front bid two million and three hundred thousand!"
"Two million three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Two million four million!"
The bidding range on the field was very large, the atmosphere was very warm, and Lan Tianyu guessed that this Qi Baishi's "Autumn Flavor Map" was likely to exceed his estimate of three million.
When the price reached 2.8 million, there were only three people left to bid, but none of these three people wanted to give up, and they were entangled for nearly fifteen minutes before one of them withdrew. At this time, the price of "Autumn Flavor Map" has reached 3.3 million.
"The bid ahead is three million three hundred and twenty thousand!"
"The rear bid is three million three hundred and fifty thousand!"
After three minutes of see-saw between the last two people, the hammer price of this Qi Baishi's "Autumn Flavor Picture" was 3.55 million.
This price is slightly higher than Lan Tianyu's estimate, and Lan Tianyu is already very satisfied with the fact that the small weekend auction can fetch such a price.
Han Guangyuan's connections are indeed very powerful, and the four lots are all rare treasures and treasures, although the preview time is very short, it still caused a sensation in a small area. Although the number of people who came to participate in the auction this time was small, half of them were real buyers with deep strength.
The response to the first lot was enthusiastic, and Lan Tianyu's mood that had been a little apprehensive finally calmed down.
"The plan to arrange the first auction of "Autumn Flavor" has been successful, and the atmosphere on the field is very enthusiastic, and the total sale price this time is likely to exceed our estimate." Han Guangyuan, who was sitting next to Lan Tianyu, was very excited.
"This auction can have such a successful start, thanks to Mr. Han's extensive contacts, if it weren't for the support of these big buyers you invited to the venue, where would there be such a lively situation now?" Qin Botao said with emotion on the side.
Han Guangyuan shook his head: "The main thing is that these four lots are in charge, especially the two heavy treasures of more than 10 million yuan, and it is rare to have a few pieces in auctions across the country a year. I really didn't expect Lao Lan to have such a precious collection, after this auction, the difficulties in front of Gu Yun will be resolved, after recovering the building, as long as the business is conservative, the people behind the scenes may not be pressed step by step. ”
"It is said that the old blue is no more, even if there is a big grudge, it should be over. After the building is reclaimed, if there is no greater trouble to follow, this level should be over. Although he said so, Qin Botao was not sure about it.
This topic is a bit heavy, and the three of them tacitly agree not to discuss it, and continue to pay attention to the auction on the field.
Although Zhou Li's bamboo carved pen holder is also a rare boutique, the future appreciation space and collection heat are far less than Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting works, so there are not many buyers who hold the sign, and there are only four people in total.
Han Guangyuan can basically name the buyers who attended today's auction, and every time a new sign-raiser appears, he will whisper to Lan Tianyu to introduce him.
What Lan Tianyu lacks most now is connections, and the auctions held in the future will also need the support of these people, even if you can't get to know these people immediately, but you can remember their names, and it's good to have an impression in your heart for the time being.
Among the buyers who bid for the pen holder, two of them are well-known collectors, and the other two are entrepreneurs who run an industry, but their net worth is limited, and their willingness to bid is not very strong.
In less than ten minutes, the second lot had already been hammered, and due to the bidders' chat, the transaction price was 920,000 yuan, slightly lower than the blue sky and rain expected.
Qin Botao also raised his card twice during this period, and did not give up the bid until the price of the pen holder exceeded 900,000.
Seeing the blue sky and rain, Han Guangyuan seemed to be a little regretful, Han Guangyuan said: "The bamboo carving pen holder is not a popular collectible category, and this is a small weekend auction, if this is not Zhou Li's work, even if the auction is very likely." Now it can be auctioned for 920,000 yuan, which is already very good. ”
After Zhou Li's bamboo carved pen holder was sold, the next auction was the "gilded copper inlaid enamel stone turning character music clock" in the late Qing Dynasty.
After the auctioneer first introduced the lot in detail, the auction of this 10-million-level treasure began immediately.
This music clock, which is huge, rich and gorgeous, is a rare Qing imperial table clock, and has a detailed description on page 62 of the "Qing Palace Clock Collection" published by the Forbidden City Publishing House. The clock is said to have been lost during the war years, but it is even more precious today.
There has been a clear record of the Qing Dynasty imperial supplies, which is a big hit in the collection world, and there is a huge appreciation space in the future, and such a huge gorgeous table clock is still an excellent decorative item. For this reason, those powerful buyers have raised their cards at the beginning of the auction, fearing that they will be left behind.
"Mr. Ahead's bid is six million and three million!"
"The lady in the back row bid six and four hundred thousand!"
"Six million four hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Six and a half million!"
"Back in the back row, the lady bid 6.6 million!"
There are more than 10 buyers who are competing with the signs, and the price is rising rapidly, and the atmosphere on the field is hot
