CP95 D-day

Finally it was the last day of the auction, that is, the day when Chu Xiaobai's set of moon-white glazed Ru kiln tea sets was put on auction. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he had already experienced two crossings and seen major events that no one in the world had ever seen, Chu Xiaobai still couldn't keep his mentality, and after one night, he made a pair of big dark circles under his eyes.

Concern is chaos.

No matter how many benefits you get in another world, if you can't get them in reality, you will still have less real sense after all. Now, the auction results of this set of porcelain will greatly affect the future life of his family. Thinking of this, Chu Xiaobai would be uneasy, and it was not surprising at all.

Like him, there is also Chu Xiaomei with panda eyes. But the slight difference is that the reason why Chu Xiaomei didn't sleep soundly was not because of nervousness and uneasiness, but because of the excitement and expectation of about to see the big scene According to what was said before, when she went to watch the auction today, Chu Xiaobai would take this girl with her and let her join in the fun.

The last day of the auction was divided into two halves: the morning session and the afternoon session.

In the morning session, although the lots sold were all rare and high-quality, they were able to get a very high ranking among all the lots sold in the three days. However, compared to the finale weights in the afternoon session, it is still a little inferior.

The moon-white glazed Ru kiln tea set sent by Chu Xiaobai is one of the finale weights of this auction.

If only the expected transaction price is concerned, the transaction price of this tea set by Sotheby's is estimated to be more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the highest in this China sale.

However, since there had never been a complete set of Ru kiln porcelain auctioned together, this estimate of the auction price was somewhat less reliable because there was no precedent to follow, and with this in mind, Sotheby's did not make a desperate attempt to position it as the only finale treasure. Instead, it was juxtaposed with two other lots to create the names of the three treasures.

The other two lots are a large Yuan blue and white figure jar and a bucket of chicken jars from the Ming Chenghua kiln.

Whether it is a complete set of Ru kiln porcelain, or the famous Yuan blue and white figure jar and Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup, any one of the three can be used as the finale of a large-scale special auction. Why would Sotheby's put all three of these treasures up for auction in the same auction? Didn't they think about the rate of return this time?

This pot Chu Xiaobai has to carry at least half of it.

At the beginning, the finale of this special auction in China was only a large pot of Yuan blue and white figures. Although another Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup has also signed an auction agreement early, Sotheby's does not plan to put it at this auction for reasons of return, but plans to delay it for half a year and take it out at the spring auction after the start of the year tomorrow.

Just when this plan had basically been implemented, Chu Xiaobai contacted Su Yue with his set of Ru kiln porcelain.

Although Chu Xiaobai told Su Yue at that time that he was not in a hurry to sell, his psychological bottom line at that time was only to wait for a month or two at most. Confirming his idea, knowing that he would not agree to keep the porcelain in his hands for more than a year, Sotheby's had to adjust the auction plan that was about to be implemented.

If you don't adjust it, if you say no here, who can guarantee that Chu Xiaobai won't contact other auction houses?

In the original plan, the scheduled finale was a large jar of Yuan blue and white figures, and suddenly there was a set of porcelain taken out by Chu Xiaobai, and Sotheby's was a little difficult.

In order to let Chu Xiaobai's Ruyao tea set be auctioned, remove the Yuan Qinghua character pot?

Obviously, no. Not to mention whether the consignor was willing to accept this sudden change, the rumors that had been released before did not allow Sotheby's to temporarily remove the lot.

Which two pieces are auctioned together? It doesn't seem to be a good fit.

If two treasures are auctioned together, the sensation will not be much greater than that of one alone, at least, it is impossible to achieve a doubling effect. If this is arranged, the return ratio will be greatly discounted, and such a result is not what Sotheby's wants to see.

Of course, the consignor would certainly not want to see this kind of scene, under the premise of insufficient publicity and influence, the two lots will not play a role in complementing each other, but it is easy to distract the attention of customers, resulting in neither one being sold at a high price.

Just when the heads and brains were worried about this, someone finally made a suggestion.

The person who made the suggestion was Su Yue, and her words were very simple, since two pieces were not cost-effective, it was better to get another one and make up three.

Don't look at the fact that there is only one between two and three, but in the consciousness of the Chinese, these are two completely different concepts. The former, at most, is a pair or a pair, while the latter, in other words, can be called a group. In knots

That is to say, if there is only the Yuan Qinghua character pot and the Ruyao tea set provided by Chu Xiaobai, although this auction is more attractive than the usual auction, it is still just an ordinary grade after all, but if one more treasure is added, the positioning of the auction will become a high-level special auction.

This is one of them.

The second is to suppress the enemy's momentum.

There are many well-known auction houses in Hong Kong City, but when it comes to being able to face Sotheby's head-on, it is probably only Christie's, which is also a time-honored brand.

After getting information from Sotheby's and knowing that it was about to auction a heavy weapon such as a large pot of Yuan blue and white figures at the autumn auction, Christie's also responded, saying that they would also take out a few treasures in their autumn sale.

Although none of the lots prepared by Christie's can compare in value to the Yuan blue and white figure jar. But the average quality of the lots they prepared was high enough. Suddenly, the influence of Sotheby's Autumn Auction was disturbed to a certain extent, and the attention was slightly reduced.

As an old rival, Sotheby's will certainly not be reconciled.

Before, without Chu Xiaobai's set of porcelain, they hadn't thought of a way to raise the level of the auction to counter the opponent, but later, that is, when Su Yue put forward the suggestion of making up three, they felt that this method could be extremely effective in suppressing the opponent, and Sotheby's was a little moved.

The two reasons took effect at the same time, which led to the level of the auction being raised by a level, and the weight of the finale suddenly increased from one at the beginning to three. Well, fortunately, the owner of the last Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup is easier to speak, if he doesn't agree to put his collection up for auction in advance, this plan will not be able to go after all.

In any case, these twists and turns that happened in the middle were indeed beneficial and harmless for Chu Xiaobai, the client who temporarily added the stopper.

After breakfast, with my sister, Su Yue led me to the auction site. Although they didn't stay in the venue for long, they just glanced at it and went to the box prepared for it, but the Chu Xiaobai brothers and sisters still felt the lively atmosphere of the scene and were deeply shocked by this atmosphere.

When the auction officially began, sitting in the box and watching the auction process through the huge TV screen, I saw that people held up signs from time to time in the picture, shouting big exaggerated numbers, and felt that these people were not making money, and the two brothers and sisters were shocked for the second time.

"Brother, these people are really rich." was still snorting melon seeds before, like a little squirrel that couldn't calm down, but at this moment, Chu Xiaomei had stopped the movements in her hand, honestly leaned on her brother's side, couldn't help but hold his arm, and muttered with emotion.

“……。” Compared with his sister, Chu Xiaobai is not much better. He'd only crossed over twice, but he'd never seen such a bad amount of money. After being speechless for a while, Chu Xiaobai sighed faintly: "Yes, I used to be around the Internet for a long time, but now that I see these people, I know what a real trench is." ”

Blinking her eyes, seeing that someone on the TV screen suddenly raised the price and shouted a figure of 20 million, Chu Xiaomei couldn't help but turn her head and asked Su Yue, who was sitting on the single sofa next to her: "Sister Yue, is it usually like this?" ”

"Sometimes." Nodding, Su Yue replied quietly: "On average, it's about once a year." Whenever something good is put on the table, it's a little hotter. And this time it will be so enthusiastic, and it is also thanks to you. ”

Hearing Su Yue say this, Chu Xiaomei suddenly thought of something, and immediately became excited again: "Sister Yue, how much do you think my brother can fetch for that set of things?" By the way, are some people here just for that set of porcelain? ”

"Hehe, I don't know how much it is now, it won't be low anyway." This question is very common, and Su Yue doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. What's more, Chu Xiaomei's eyes were only curious and excited, and she didn't have the slightest feeling of being a fan of money. Smiling, Su Yue continued: "As for your second question." Personally, I don't think the people you see now are really customers for you. ”

"Huh?"

"Your brother's set of porcelain is not something that ordinary people can afford. And those really powerful big customers, except for a very few who like the atmosphere of the scene, most of them stay in their own boxes, and use various ways to direct the agents who stay on the scene, so that they can help shout prices. Well, for example, the current one who is shouting the price, he is just an agent, not a real big customer. ”

"I see." Chu Xiaomei nodded, and while continuing to stare at the TV screen, she muttered in a low voice: "It's up again." ”

"It's okay now, and in the afternoon, you're sure to see more dramatic scenes. It's hard to say anything else, but I can guarantee that your brother's porcelain set will definitely fetch a sky-high price. Hehe, I suggest you be mentally prepared first, otherwise, you may be scared. ”
