Chapter 230: White Gloves? (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

Right now.

Ji Sheng came back from Hall 2.

He still didn't know what the situation of the first auction in Hall 1 was just now, and he was very nervous at the moment, because this was the first bid in their autumn auction, and of course he hoped to get a good price.

As soon as Ji Sheng came back, he said to Master Cheng, "How's the situation?" ”

Master Cheng pretended to sigh and shook his head.

Luo Xiaohua was smiling over there.

Ji Sheng was so nervous in his heart, where did he notice Luo Xiaohua's expression, as soon as he saw Master Cheng shaking his head and sighing, he immediately smiled bitterly, "It's a missed shot?" ”

"The auction is not unsuccessful." Master Cheng blinked.

Ji Sheng heard that there was no unsuccessful auction, and his mood was a little better, "The price is not ideal? ”

Master Cheng said seriously: "The price is a bit unexpected, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." ”

The starting price is six million.

Even if it is a transaction at the reserve price, Ji Sheng has nothing that he can't accept, he estimates that the price is not too high, "How much?" ”

Master Cheng laughed and said, "Seventeen million." ”

"Oh, one thousand seven......" Ji Sheng reacted halfway through his words, his eyes widened suddenly, and his tone trembled, "More...... How much? ”

"Hahaha."

"Boss, you're so cute."

The on-site staff and Luo Xiaohua burst into laughter.

Master Cheng was also overjoyed and confirmed again: "Seventeen million, Miss Chu took the picture." ”

it!

17 million deals?

Counting commissions, it's nearly 17.5 million!

Ji Sheng's whole person was even more dumbfounded, it's not that he hadn't seen so much money, although his current wealth is not hundreds of millions, but one or two million is not in his eyes, the main reason why he was surprised was that this was more than double the premium!

What's more, the first piece sold for tens of millions of dollars!

What a good start!

When Ji Sheng thought of this, he immediately became ecstatic.

"Mr. Ji, the first target was auctioned at a good price, and our autumn auction will definitely be a great success."

"Yes, boss, I think it is possible that the turnover will be two billion this time, no, it must be two billion!"

"If it really goes up to 2 billion, even if it still can't compare to Sotheby's, it can still slap Sotheby's hard, after all, we held an auction at the same time as Sotheby's, and we also won 2 billion turnover, which is equivalent to slapping Sotheby's in the face."

Several staff members in the background and Master Cheng, Luo Xiaohua and others said happily.

Ji Sheng thought the same thing in his heart, but he couldn't hold back his excitement and didn't fully show it, he tried his best to restrain his emotions and act as if he was very calm, "Well, yes, let's keep reading, the auction is not over yet, who knows what the final turnover will be." ”

When he said this, Ji Sheng was looking forward to this autumn auction even more, he felt that it was really possible that the turnover might exceed two billion as Master Cheng and others said, thinking of this, his hands trembled slightly with excitement.

……

Room II.

This is a special exhibition of calligraphy and painting.

After Hall 1 had just finished the auction of the first object, the other four halls had also started the auction of the first object in their respective halls at the same time.

The first object in Hall 2 is the anonymous Song People's Writing Sutra, which is a handscroll on paper with 31.5 centimeters in length and 1,118.6 centimeters long, with an estimate of between 3 million and 6 million before the auction began.

The auctioneer in this session is Wang Jing, who is also a white-glove auctioneer, and the bidding method used in this auction is "2468", which roughly means that every 200 yuan, or 2,000 yuan, or 20,000 yuan is a price increase.

"The starting price of No. 2078 is 4.5 million."

"Four million five hundred and twenty thousand."

"Four million five hundred and forty thousand."

"Four million five hundred and sixty thousand."

“…… Five million three hundred and eighty thousand. ”

"Oh, No. 2210 bids six million and twenty thousand, does anyone still increase the price?"

After a brief silence, the real bigwigs raised their cards.

"Six and a half million."

"Six million eight hundred and twenty thousand."

“…… Seven million and eighty thousand. ”

In the end, this volume of "The Song People Wrote the Scriptures" was won by Su Quan at a price of 12.82 million.

There was also a lot of noise in Hall 2.

"It's so unexpected, this Song Dynasty handscroll, which I estimate to be sold for six or seven million, actually sold for more than 12 million! This is really exciting! ”

"Wonderful!"

"It's really exciting to start competing from more than 6 million to 12.82 million and win all the way!"

The customers in Hall 2 were all whispering and talking.

Lu Zhengqing and the on-site staff who were staring here were very surprised, they didn't expect that this Song Dynasty hand scroll could be auctioned for more than 10 million yuan, I have to say that although Wang Jing, a white-glove auctioneer, is not very old, his strength is not much worse than other gold medal auctioneers.

……

Ji Sheng in Hall 1 was stunned for a moment when he received the news.

Although this "Song People Write the Scriptures" is not the target brought by ancient and modern art, the honor is common.

At this moment, he finally realized how much help the top auctioneers helped the auction, first Gao Mingde turned the tide and raised the porcelain that could be sold for 9.2 million to more than 17 million, and then Wang Jing let the Song Dynasty handscroll, which is estimated to have a peak of only 6 million, auction a high price of more than 12 million, the gold medal auctioneer is really powerful!

……

Over there in the auction room.

Gao Mingde took control of the situation and began to introduce the second auction target, "The second auction object is the Qing Kangxi cowpea red glaze Taibaizun, as we all know, because the cowpea red glaze is created by Kangxi with a beautiful and soft tone, and its firing technology is difficult to master, the success rate is low, especially the green moss dots in the cowpea red glaze are extremely difficult to imitate and are Kangxi court supplies, so there are few utensils that have been handed down, and it has become the most precious one of the high-temperature copper red glazed porcelain. Due to historical reasons, most of the heirlooms are scattered abroad and collected in the hands of famous museums and collectors in various countries. ”

Although he uses the words "well-known", not everyone actually knows these things.

After the introduction, Gao Mingde smiled and said: "The starting price of this cowpea red glaze Taibai Zun is one million, and the price increase shall not be less than twenty thousand each time, starting now." ”

Indeed, cowpea red glaze is a very valuable porcelain, if it is a complete set, the interest can be auctioned for tens of millions of prices, but unfortunately there is only one Taibaizun here, so the starting price is only one million.

But even if there is only one, many buyers on the scene are very interested, after all, this thing is so rare.

As soon as Gao Mingde's words fell, several people immediately raised their cards.

If an auctioneer is new to the industry, he or she may be a little overwhelmed.

However, Gao Mingde is sophisticated in the end, and he said unhurriedly: "Because someone is holding up a card at the same time, in order to ensure fairness, let our on-site staff hand over a note, and you will write your own quotation on it, and then I will show it to everyone after I get it, and then take the highest price to continue." ”

The staff immediately stepped forward.

Several customers were also very cooperative, and at the same time wrote the price on a slip of paper.

After a while, the staff took the note back to Gao Mingde.

Gao Mingde showed it to everyone, and then took the highest price and said: "No. 1093 is priced at 1.32 million." ”

Obviously, this price has not reached the price of cowpea red glaze Taibai Zun in everyone's psychology, and someone immediately raised a card.

"One million three hundred and fifty thousand."

"One million three hundred and eighty thousand."

"One million and four million."

"Oh, this gentleman in the front row has bid one hundred and fifty two thousand."

When this price was reached, no one on the scene raised a sign.

1.52 million to buy a cowpea red is too white, and no matter how high it is, the premium is too much.

Despite Gao Mingde's lively atmosphere, no one was bidding.

He had no choice but to say, "One and a half hundred and twenty thousand in the end...... Once, into ......"

Just when Gao Mingdra had a long tail, Miss Cheng, a member of Art Finance, raised her card, and she directly called for the price: "1.7 million!" ”

What?

One million seven million?

Someone was stunned.

This price is obviously more than 50% higher.

But Miss Cheng did ask for 1.7 million.

After Gao Mingde asked three times, when no one was bidding, he smoothly called out the word "deal".

The auction then continued.

Because there are more than 500 pieces of porcelain auctions in this one, of course, there are not many million-level porcelains, not to mention the joint auction organized by Ji Sheng and others, even Sotheby's cannot make every piece of porcelain million-level.

Jizhou kiln plum pattern bowl 130,000 deals!

210,000 green and white glazed lion button holding pot deals!

Qing Tongzhi. A pair of purple and green dragon pattern plates on the yellow ground are sold for 50,000 yuan!

Qing Kangxi. Sky blue glazed water chestnut bottle 280,000 transactions!

The auction was held in a tense and exciting environment, and at the same time, under the superb words of Gao Mingde, the buyers did not feel too much pressure.

Soon, more than 200 pieces of porcelain had been sold in a row.

……

But when it came to this, Ji Sheng became nervous again.

Master Cheng swallowed his saliva and said, "Boss, should we let Mr. Gao get another pair of white gloves in the first game?" ”

Ji Sheng's eyes were full of excitement, and his palms were sweating again, "More than 200 pieces have been sold and have not been auctioned, I think it is really possible." ”

Luo Xiaohua was startled and said: "If all of them are really sold, then we will be a sensation when it spreads!" ”

Of course, Ji Sheng understands this truth, the auction of white gloves is hard to find, if they can really sell all of them this time, it is definitely very exciting news, even if the turnover is not as good as Sotheby's afterwards, there is still the capital to brag about, after all, it is 100% sold!

He extremely hopes that all of them can be sold, although only a dozen of the more than 500 pieces of porcelain are his, but the cheapest of these ten or so pieces are all million-level, and the finale is also Yuan blue and white standardware, if the competition is fierce, it is possible to auction hundreds of millions.

A single lot is hundreds of millions!

All Auctioneers Get White Gloves!

If these two achievements are achieved, then their joint auction will definitely shock the outside world!

Naturally, Ji Sheng was extremely nervous, he very much hoped to unlock these two achievements, on the one hand, he could make a lot of money, on the other hand, if these two achievements were really achieved, then ancient and modern art would really be famous in the auction industry this time!
