The highest honor for the auctioneer profession is to receive a 'white glove'. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhen an auction has reached a close rate and the auction is over, the auction house will issue a 'white glove' to the auctioneer, which represents the highest recognition of the auctioneer.

No matter how famous the auctioneer is, they can't always retain the honor of 'white glove', after all, every auction they preside over is a new challenge, and whether they can get a 100% auction rate depends not on how many honors they have won in the past, but on the condition of the auction day.

By the same token, it is not easy for auction houses to maintain a 'white glove' record all the time. The best record so far is held by Sotheby's, including the recent rise of the Wine Auctions, which have sat on the 'white glove' for 16 consecutive times.

Today, the auctioneer appointed by Sotheby's to preside over the auction is one of the record makers, and he alone has presided over five of the sixteen auctions that have been 'white glove' in a row, accounting for almost a third of the weight.

In recognition of his appreciation, Sotheby's presented him with an honor called 'White Glove Supreme of the Year'. In this name, the auctioneer has also been given the privilege of wearing white gloves at any auction he has presided over within this year.

Of course, in the process of presiding over the auction, he still has to take off his gloves like other auctioneers.

To put it simply, it's like a boxing champion who wears a belt when he enters.

To have such a record and to be able to get such a reputation, the strength of this auctioneer is beyond doubt. No, it was because of his clever tongue that left no traces, and in just ten minutes, the atmosphere of the scene was heated to the most appropriate level.

Seizing the moment, he finally shouted the words 'the auction now officially begins'.

After the drawing of lots by the notary public, the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup became the first of the three treasures to be auctioned.

"The reserve price is 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and each increase shall not be less than 1 million, now, you can bid~."

"Fifty-five million~!" Before the auctioneer's words fell, someone in the venue raised a sign and shouted an offer.

Depending on the type of auction, there are more or fewer bidders attracted, and occasionally there will be a situation where only one person likes it or no one cares about it at all. In this case, those who want to buy a lot can simply repeat the reserve price that the auctioneer first called out to get the lot.

Because of this possibility, an unwritten rule has formed in the auction - the first person to bid is basically a direct repetition of the auctioneer's reserve price - perhaps there is no one else competing with him, so he can pick up the bargain?

Look at this time again. The first person to raise the sign shouted a five-fold increase of the minimum in one go.

This is rare. It represents not only the attitude of the bidder, but also the overall atmosphere of the auction.

"Five thousand eight~!"

"Six thousand~~!"

"No. 104 bids 60 million, and it ......." Stand behind the auction table and look at the guests condescendingly. Every time someone puts up a bid, the auctioneer can find out first.

However, it is one thing to see it in the eyes, and it is another thing to be able to report every sign in the mouth. For example, now, the auctioneer sees not only one sign in his eyes, but four people raising the number plate in their hands at the same time.

"No. 207 is seventy-three million, No. 198 is seventy-five million, and No. 77 here bids seventy-six million ......."

Well, there is no need for the auctioneer to be embarrassed. Before he could pick one of the four people out for roll call, someone had already raised his sign again and shouted a higher price.

With the bidders raising their cards again and again, the auctioneer's mouth has never stopped.

Strictly speaking, because there are always people raising cards at the same time, the bidding process is still a little chaotic. However, because the auctioneer's fast but not steady voice invisibly stabilized the mood of the bidders, the big guys only felt the warmth of the atmosphere, and did not have any negative feelings.

After a while, well, it was about five or six minutes, and the shouting price on the scene had already exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Previously, the auction house estimated the transaction price of this Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup to be about 100 million Hong Kong dollars. In other words, even if the transaction is made directly now, the price has reached the psychological bottom line of the auction house and the consignor, and the next offer is purely an unexpected surprise.

Moreover, according to the current rhythm and momentum, perhaps the final transaction price of this treasure will reach more than 200 million.

Not a little more, but a direct double. The weight of this surprise is not small.

"Eleven six million~!"

"No. 77 bids 116 million, is there anything higher? Customer No. 207 here bids 120 million ....... ”

As time went on, the price got higher and higher. At this time, perhaps the price has exceeded the psychological bottom line, or perhaps the funds are really insufficient, and some bidders have withdrawn from the bidding one after another.

There are not many contenders left, and the frequency of bidding has finally slowed down. However, when it comes to the atmosphere of the scene, it is even more tense than just now - the chaotic battle scene can only make people feel lively, but when it comes to tension, it is still the one-on-one duel that feels the most.

At this time, it is the time when the auctioneer's skills are truly revealed. When the situation is at an impasse, a good auctioneer can use his own language to let bidders break their psychological bottom line and shout a bid that they never thought of, while an auctioneer who is not experienced enough can only directly shout 'deal' at this time.

"120 million, the first time~~! There are still no bids? The auctioneer asked, raising the small hammer in his hand slightly.

The movements are no different from those of other auctioneers, but the expression on his face is still the tone of inquiry, but there are some subtle differences. Inexplicably, the auctioneer exuded an inexplicable feeling, and in the eyes of the last few remaining bidders, it seemed as if he was saying to himself, 'This price is really cheap'.

When visiting roadside stalls, small vendors will always find various excuses to prevent customers from bargaining, and match their expressions and actions to explain how cheap and cost-effective their products are. In nature, the auctioneers now use the same routine as those small traders.

Auction is also a form of trading, and in the final analysis, it is also buying and selling. The position of the bidders is not much different from that of the customers in front of the stall, the only difference is the amount at the time of the transaction.

"130 million~~!" No. 77, who was still a little hesitant, broke his bottom line because of the auctioneer's routine and shouted a price that he hadn't thought of.

"One hundred and thirty million, number 77, one hundred and thirty million ~~! There are still no bids? At this point, the auctioneer came up with a second trick - while repeating the latest offer, he turned his gaze to the other bidder who had just been overbid.

As a matter of common sense, the transaction amount is so large that it must be more cautious.

But on the other hand, it's already shouted so high anyway, and adding a little more, it doesn't seem like a big deal, does it?

The bidder who was glanced at by the auctioneer with his eyes was more inclined to the latter, so under the stimulation of an evil fire that did not want to admit defeat, he raised the number plate in his hand again: "135 million ~~!" ”

Seeing that the deadlock was broken, the auctioneer couldn't help but be happy.

Just as he wanted to add fuel to the fire, the two bidders were once again competing for a high price, when an operator in charge of connecting the VIP room suddenly stood up and quoted a price on behalf of the customers in the VIP box - a full increase of 13 million, reaching 150 million.

As long as it's a person, there will probably be a thought of 'damn it, Lao Tzu is about to succeed, where did such a-stirring stick come out', and unconsciously have a great dissatisfaction with the VIP guest who didn't show up.

This was the case with the two bidders on the spot.

After a little hesitation, bidder No. 77 raised his card again: "155 million~!" ”

Immediately afterwards, No. 207 also shouted a new offer: "160 million~!" ”

However, apparently, the VIP guest hiding behind the scenes is a little more tyrant. There was almost no pause, and the operator who represented him stood up again, and once again raised the price by 10 million at one time, shouting out a high price of 170 million.

"173 million~!"

"175 million~!"

"190 million~!"

“……。” It was only three times, and the offer was greatly overtaken by the other party three times in a row, and it really felt that something could not be done, and the No. 77 guest finally fell into silence.

Guest 207 has a slightly hotter temper than 77. Maybe he wanted to fight for it again, or he was sure that the local tyrant behind the scenes would definitely continue to raise the price, and wanted to give him a stumbling block and let him spend more unjust money, he shouted again one last time: "195 million~!" ”

"200 million~!" This time, the operator was a little slower to stand up. It wasn't until the auctioneer repeated the price twice that he called out a new offer again on behalf of the VIP.

"200 million~! For the first time~! ”

"200 million~! Second~! There are still no bids? ”

"200 million~~~! For the third time, the deal ~~! ”
