Chapter 120: Something Else
In the end, the gemstone cane from the Victorian period was auctioned for a huge amount of 14.5 million.
The second auction item is a gilded copper fireplace clock from France in the 19th century, with a starting price of 700,000 yuan, which can only be regarded as a good gadget, but because the price has attracted the attention of many people, many people who did not plan to participate are also in high spirits and have participated, and the result is still that the premium of this fireplace clock is too high, reaching the auction price of 6 million.
The third auction item is the Loess Plateau made by Wu Guanzhong in 1987, with a starting price of 10 million yuan, and this painting and calligraphy that has been auctioned for 18.7 million yuan has aroused the interest of several local tyrants present, and one participated, that is, the price exceeded 20 million yuan, and finally sold for 27 million yuan.
Soon, the starting price of the auction items reached jaw-dropping levels.
From Liu Xiaodong's "Beauty Lin Chiling", the starting price was 17 million yuan, and finally it was sold for 35 million yuan.
This painting should have been in the collection of the art museum, but it came to the hands of the He family somehow, but a mere oil painting can reach this level, and Lu Li's face jumped.
Soon, a rosewood birthday throne, the starting price reached 50 million yuan, the price reached this level, and only seven or eight rich people on the scene could compete with each other, where did others dare to participate in this level of competition.
Finally, it was the turn of the mission to leave the land.
Among the three items, the starting price of "Ru Kiln Azure Glazed Sunflower Wash" was 100 million yuan, which was auctioned by No. 1 for 230 million yuan, and the starting price of "gold-inlaid agate cup" was 75 million yuan, which was auctioned by No. 1 for 124 million yuan.
For a while, No. 1 immediately attracted a lot of attention, and how could people who were able to take out 354 million yuan in one go buy a few antiques, but whose faces did not change, not attract attention.
At this time, the two goals have been completed, and when it was finally the turn of the "Yao Changing Heavenly Eye" to appear, someone who understood immediately became excited.
Native to China, the chance of firing is only one in a million, and even in the Song Dynasty, it was very precious and hard to find, let alone in the modern 21st century. An RB scholar once asserted that there is no "Yao Biantianmu Zhan" in China, where "Yao Chang Tianmu" originated. Therefore, the "Yao Chang Tianmu" cup treasured in RB is known as the supreme "divine product" of RB.
I didn't expect to see a new "Yao Chang Tianmu" cup here.
Those who understand are naturally excited, and those who don't understand also think that this broken bowl is quite beautiful, but when they heard the starting price of 350 million, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Just this bowl, the starting price is 350 million yuan?
And the most interesting thing is that this last auction item, according to the host, has only one chance to bid.
"Well, the Vickery Auction Method?"
Lu Li was surprised, and then frowned.
When I glanced at it, I was surprised to see the seven or eight people who were qualified to compete, and I suddenly understood that this must have been beyond the expectations of these people.
Since Mr. Jin behind No. 1 is bound to obtain the "Yao Changing Heavenly Eye" and has formulated this plan, it means that he has already known that a new "Yao Changing Heavenly Eye" has fallen into the hands of the He family, so he knows this information, and maybe other bigwigs can also know this information.
Not to mention that the He family actually took out this kind of treasure for auction, in order to compete for this treasure that is known as a supreme divine product, the He family must also be worried that some people will collude in bidding, which is not impossible.
In order to prevent bid-rigging, the He family initially adopted a British-style auction, which made many people accustomed to it, but when it came to the last finale, they changed to the Vickery auction method.
Lu Li did not know much about the auction method, and could only say that he knew a little bit about it, and according to his poor knowledge, the basic principle of Vickery's auction was that although the goods to be auctioned were still obtained by the highest bidder, they only needed to be purchased according to the second highest bid. This auction method is derived from the Nobel laureate in economics, William Vickery, hence the name.
The advantage of the Vickery auction method is that the bidders will show a true evaluation of the auction item, simply because the winning bidder has no price influence.
Lu Li understands that if the price of a winning bidder is 100 yuan, and the second highest bidder gives 80 yuan, then although the winning bidder gets the auction item, he does not need to bid 100 yuan in real terms, but only needs to bid 80 yuan. The winning bidder's transaction price is not determined by himself, but from the second highest bidder, the level of the bid only determines the winner or loser, but cannot determine the specific real price, only with the real price bidding, in order to ensure that the final price paid is the price that the bidder wants to pay.
Otherwise, if you blindly put up a very high price in order to get the auction item, then everyone thinks so, which will lead to buying the auction item at a higher psychological price than the estimate, which is an act that outweighs the loss.
It is the Vickery auction method that does not distort the incentive to distort its own prices.
But Vickery's auction method still has its own flaws, namely that the unsuccessful bidders form an alliance, and the sellers will hire childcare to inflate the price and conspire with each other to uncover the bottom.
Therefore, in order to prevent this kind of thing, the He family adopted the conventional auction method at the beginning, and in the end, this trick was also unexpected by everyone, and the thoughtful people had no time to connect in series.
In addition, Lu Li secretly thought that the He family's use of this method for auctions is estimated to prevent their respective bosses from competing with each other, which makes it difficult for everyone to ride a tiger and hurt their harmony.
But...... Number 1's complexion seems ugly.
Lu Li was always paying attention to No. 1, and when he found that No. 1 didn't look good-looking, he seemed to be very nervous, frowned, and realized a little.
No. 1 is worried that under this method, the auction will not be able to "Yao Chang Tianmu".
It stands to reason that as long as the highest bidder wins, the first will always win, and as long as the 1st gives the highest price, then he will win. This is true of the conventional auction method, but in the Vickery auction method, everyone does not know the psychological price of the other party, and there is only one chance to bid, so when it is not clear to see the change in the bid, No. 1 cannot know who will make the highest price.
This is not a numbers game, after successfully bidding for the auction item, you need to pay the corresponding amount to be eligible to view and take away the auction item, so the biggest problem comes, No. 1 is so nervous, doesn't it explain a little ......
No. 1 was worried that Mr. Kim would not have enough money to give him.
In case someone else is ruthless and gives a bid of 1 billion, even if he wins the bid of 1.1 billion, he will need to pay 1 billion cash on behalf of No. 1, which is indeed very scary.
However, Lu Li felt that there was no need to worry so much, anyway, after the plan was successful, the amount paid would be returned by the He family due to the theft of the auction items, as long as the plan could be successful...... Oh wait, I see.
Planning success is key.
Lu Li's mind moved, and he understood the plan of No. 1 and Mr. Jin behind him.
If you think so, of course, it's simple, but No. 1 and Mr. Jin behind him obviously have to get the "Yao Chang Tianmu", so in order to be foolproof, they must also be prepared for the failure of the plan, after the plan fails, they must use funds to buy the "Yao Chang Tianmu", so in this way, it is best to get the "Yao Chang Tianmu" at the lowest price as much as possible, no matter how rich the money is, no matter who the fuck the money is not blowing in the wind, not to mention the ups and downs of hundreds of millions of funds.
Lu Li pinched his chin, secretly annoying that he was really a fucking idiot, and he actually thought of this at this time, although he had long thought about whether Mr. Jin would kill him to prevent the truth from leaking after the plan was successful, but at this time, the change in No. 1's face proved that Mr. Jin was bound to make the plan fail.
Well, quite simply, he must have arranged for a second group of people to come in.
