Chapter Seventy-Five: Hot Bidding (Subscription Requested!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
The auction is about to start!
With the help of female staff with red slanted banners on their chests, Ji Sheng and Shen Xia found seats in the second row.
At this time, there were already one or two hundred people at the auction site.
Since he was snubbed just now, Ji Sheng did not go to the hot face and cold butt again, but quietly waited for the auction to start.
It didn't take long for more and more people to come.
The auditorium was bustling with people, and people who knew each other greeted each other.
"Lao Du, long time no see."
"Old Lei, you only came today?"
"I don't know what good things Lao Zhang got this time."
Everyone was talking, anyway, there was nothing to do with Ji Sheng.
It was almost nine o'clock, and the room was already full, and at a glance, there were about 300 people.
At this time, a man in formal clothes of thirty-four or five-year-old walked in outside the door, he was not tall, about 1.7 meters, and his appearance was also very ordinary, and he couldn't find that kind in the crowd.
However, as soon as the man came in, the scene immediately became a sensation.
Ji Sheng clearly saw that many people who had already sat down, such as Jin Lang, Ms. Ma and others, all stood up and greeted them with smiling faces, and they could vaguely hear their words with stammering.
"Mr. Chung."
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhong here."
"Ouch, Mr. Zhong is here alone? When the auction is over, you must let my old gold entertain you. ”
"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Zhong can appreciate his face?"
The man known as Mr. Zhong was very polite and talked casually to everyone, and there were too many people around him, and his voice was so noisy that Ji Sheng couldn't hear what he was saying.
However, when Mr. Zhong saw Sister Ning, he immediately ran over and said hello slightly.
Sister Ning seemed to ignore the answer, but nodded slightly and didn't speak.
Mr. Chung then sat down in the middle of the first row.
The crowd hugged and talked for a while before they returned to their seats.
Ji Sheng remembered that Boss Li said that there were two big names coming over at this auction, and Mr. Zhong should be one of them, I don't know if I can find a way to get a relationship.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from his ear, "Xiaoxia, why are you here?" ”
Ji Sheng followed the prestige, he was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man, and he looked quite handsome, he didn't care, he just glanced at it.
Shen Xia raised her head and frowned, "Oh, Su Quan, are you also here to participate in the auction?" ”
"Yes." The young man known as Su Quan sat down next to Shen Xia and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am next to you, what about fate." ”
Fate chicken!
There is no fixed place here except for the first row, who doesn't know that you are sitting here deliberately?
Why couldn't Ji Sheng see that Su Quan was deliberately sitting here after seeing Shen Xia?
Shen Xia seemed to be very reluctant to deal with this person, "Ji Sheng, change positions with me." ”
Ji Sheng switched places with her.
Su Quan also noticed Ji Sheng and asked Shen Xia, "Your friend?" ”
"My boyfriend!" Shen Xia deliberately bit the word "boyfriend" very hard, as if she was using Ji Sheng as a shield.
Ji Shengxin said that it would be good if I was your boyfriend, but he could see it, and estimated that this Su Quan wanted to chase Shen Xia, and Shen Xia didn't want to be harassed by this person, so he deliberately said so.
Sure enough, Su Quan showed hostility after hearing this, he frowned, and he didn't speak to Ji Sheng, still said to Shen Xia: "Xiaoxia, you are in love with him, does your father know?" ”
Shen Xia rolled her eyes, "Can you handle it?" ”
"Oh." Su Quan didn't say anything more, and said something else, "Do you know Uncle Miao and his daughter?" I talked about a poor boy boyfriend last time, but I was cheated out of a lot of money, and I have to know the bottom line when I fall in love, don't be deceived. ”
What do you mean, Wori?
Ji Sheng is not a fool, how could he not understand the meaning of Su Quan's words, it is nothing more than looking down on him, in fact, it is normal to look down on him, the people present are basically wearing famous brands, and he is wearing very common brand clothes, and he is not a rich person at first glance.
It doesn't matter if you look down on Ji Sheng or not, anyway, he doesn't know the guy in front of him, but the question is, why do you want to chase Shen Xia and call me?
Ji Sheng really wanted to reach out and slap this guy.
As a result, before he could make a move, Shen Xia said unceremoniously: "Su Quan, not everyone is as superficial as you, just look at people's appearance to determine whether a person has money or not, I know best whether Ji Sheng has the ability or not, I don't need you to teach!" ”
"Oh." Su Quan stopped talking.
Ji Sheng didn't bother to take care of this guy who looked down on people.
At this time, two more people came in, especially the young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old.
As soon as the young man came in, he attracted most of the people as Mr. Zhong came in before, and many people came forward to say hello.
Ji Sheng vaguely knew from Su Quan's mouth on the side that this young man was called Wang Gongzi, he was not tall, but he was full of squirrel, even in front of everyone, he was still holding a tall beauty.
It was lively for more than ten minutes.
Lao Zhang walked in with a large group of staff pushing small carts, and the five appraisers who I saw yesterday, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Yu, also came.
When everyone saw that the auction was about to begin, they all fell silent.
Lao Zhang, dressed in a Mao suit, waved his hand, closed the door, walked to the front table alone, picked up the microphone, and said: "Thank you for giving me Zhang Aiguo face to participate in this auction, of course, I will not disappoint you this time, I have invited a lot of friends in the collection industry, they have brought a lot of good things to auction, I hope to satisfy everyone." ”
"Let's get started."
"We can't wait."
"What's the hell out there?"
There was a commotion below.
Lao Zhang was resolute, "Okay, don't talk much, because there are a few new friends involved, I will introduce the bidding rules." ”
Ji Sheng listened carefully, it was nothing more than that he was not allowed to find someone to bid maliciously, and if it was discovered, he would not be able to participate in the auction organized by Lao Zhang in the future.
After the introduction, Lao Zhang pretended to be mysterious and said: "Guess what, what is the object of this auction?" ”
Generally speaking, the first thing at auction is certainly not bad.
As soon as he said this, everyone became interested and talked about it below.
Lao Zhang didn't let everyone guess for too long, and said bluntly: "Let's ask our new friend Li Wangliang to preside over what he wants to auction." ”
Boss Li, who was sitting in the third row, stood up, walked up to the stage with a majestic spirit, took a microphone and auction hammer handed over by the staff, and said with a smile: "Everyone will bid more later, so that Lao Li and I can earn more money." ”
As soon as the joke came out, there was a lot of laughter below.
Gu Zhang
"No bidding."
"Let you smash things in your hands."
"Lao Li, don't worry, if you have an extra dime, I will lose."
Boss Li, who was teased by everyone, was not annoyed, reached out and lifted the small cart next to him, and introduced: "What I brought to auction this time is the cylinder bottle of the Chongzhen period. ”
As soon as the cloth was lifted, a Song Jiang patrol tube bottle with celebrity allusions appeared inside.
There was an uproar.
"What?"
"The bottle in the Chongzhen period?"
"Ouch, this Lao Li brought good things, there are not many genuine cylinders in the Chongzhen period, and most of them are fake on the market."
Ji Sheng blinked, and he was also curious about how much the bottle from this Chongzhen period could be worth.
"Be quiet." Lao Zhang stabilized the order of the scene, and then said: "If you are interested, you can come up and palm your eyes first, and if you like it, you will bid later." ”
It's different from regular auctions.
Lao Zhang here allows buyers to come up and see the goods first.
There are really many people who are interested in this cylinder, and dozens of people directly come up, and they comment on the bottle, and in the end they are sure that it is true.
Wait until the people go down.
Lao Zhang said: "The starting price of this cylinder is 5 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 200,000 yuan each time." ”
the groove.
The starting price is 5 million?
Ji Sheng was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he had long known that ancient porcelain was valuable, but when he really heard that the starting price was so high, he was still surprised.
Someone immediately raised a sign, it was Jin Lang sitting in the fourth row.
Boss Li stretched out his hand and asked, "Mr. Jin." ”
Jin Lang: "Five million two hundred thousand." ”
As soon as the words fell, another woman in her fifties not far away held up a sign and offered 5.5 million.
Subsequently, several more people got involved.
After a while, the price climbed to seven million.
Ji Sheng's blood boiled when he saw it, and he said in his heart that directly asking for a price could be more infectious than holding a sign at a regular auction.
In the end, this tube bottle was photographed by a little old man in his sixties, 7.5 million.
Boss Li said happily: "Congratulations to Yun Lao for taking the baby." ”
Yun Lao, who was sitting in the audience, had a loud voice, and scolded with a smile: "Congratulations on sending money to your kid?" ”
Having said that, Ji Sheng could see that Yun Lao was very happy.
The second auction is for Romané, one of the top wine producers in the Burgundy region. The wine made by Kande Winery before the vines were uprooted and replanted had a starting price of 5.08 million yuan, and was finally auctioned by Mr. Zhong for 5.58 million yuan.
Ji Sheng also probably saw the way, not that the auction price is high, but it depends on whether everyone likes it or not, for example, Boss Li's bottle is very popular, and the second wine is not so many people are interested, so the final transaction price is not much different from the starting price.
It is said that this bottle of red wine is exactly the same as the red wine that Sotheby's auctioned for a million dollars before, and there are only 600 bottles left in the world, and the collection value is very high, but it just did not fetch a high price.
The third auction is the Tiansheng ingots of the Western Iron Mother during the Tiansheng period of Emperor Renzong of Western Xia, with a starting price of 50,000 yuan and a transaction price of 120,000 yuan.
Calligraphy and painting one after another, gems and the like have come out.
The auction lasted more than three hours.
In the middle, everyone went to have lunch.
The auction resumed at 2 p.m.
I don't know where they got the early calligraphy and the Russian T4 decommissioned tanks with the engine and launch mechanism dismantled.
Anyway, you have everything.
Ji Sheng watched with great interest.
Until today, this one is coming to an end.
Ji Sheng was a little anxious, why didn't he have his own things? Isn't it going to wait until tomorrow?
On the stage, Lao Zhang stepped forward again and said: "The next auction is 200 catties of high-quality small-leaved red sandalwood from India, with a starting price of 120,000 yuan, and each bid shall not be less than 5,000." ”
The presiding seller was a woman in her forties.
In the end, the 200-kilogram small-leaf red sandalwood was auctioned by the forty-year-old fat man who was known as the "Pearl King" of Jiang at a price of 150,000 yuan.
When the auction came down, Su Quan gloated and said, "Old Jiang is in a hurry this time, and two hundred catties of small leaf red sandalwood have to be auctioned?" ”
Shen Xia didn't know why she asked, "Isn't two hundred catties of small leaf red sandalwood quite a lot?" ”
"It's a lot for ordinary people, but Lao Jiang took an order this time, and the other party asked for 10,000 strings of small-leaf red sandalwood hand beads, and there was something wrong with his material supplier in India, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get small-leaf red sandalwood materials in a short time." Su Quan sighed: "I heard that there is only one week before the delivery date, and it is a drop in the bucket for him to buy two hundred catties back, probably in default." ”
It's a bit too late for such a short time.
Ji Sheng understands a little bit, but it doesn't take much time to make the beads, mainly because of the raw materials.
It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.
What should I do if Jiang Zhuwang has no raw materials?
Therefore, Ji Sheng felt that Jiang "Pearl King" was basically about to breach the contract.
Just thinking about it, Su Quan suddenly teased, "Xiaoxia, your boyfriend didn't participate in the auction the whole time, did you take advantage of your father's relationship to bring him over for a long time?" ”
Shen Xia frowned and said, "No, he brought me here, and he has something to auction." ”
Su Quan smacked his lips and said in disbelief: "It's almost over, why didn't I see that he had anything to auction?" ”
Ji Sheng frowned, feeling that Su Quan was a little annoying.
At this time, Lao Zhang's voice sounded again, probably shouting all day, his throat was a little hoarse, "Today's this is coming to an end, there are only a few things left, I hope you can seize the last chance, okay, let's invite Ji Sheng, the seller of the next round of auctions!" ”
It's finally my turn!
Ji Sheng stood up.
Su Quan was surprised: "You really have something to auction?" ”
Shen Xia said: "I told you that you don't believe it." ”
Ji Sheng didn't take care of the goods, and walked directly to the stage, finally it was his turn, hoping to get a good price!
