The next day, it was nine o'clock in the morning.

With the end of the first day of the auction of the two auction companies of ancient and modern art and Sotheby's, there are more and more discussions about the turnover of the two companies in the outside world and on the Internet, and the direction of the voice still continues the previous tone.

The percentage of Sotheby's who think they can win is as high as 85 percent, which is higher than before.

The proportion of people who think that the joint auction of ancient and modern art can win the competition has dropped to 11 percent.

The remaining four percent is hard to say.

……

In a museum.

There are a few regular collectors who have a good relationship chatting.

"What day of the week is today?"

"Saturday."

"Yo, it's Saturday? Did Sotheby's officially go to war with that ancient and modern art yesterday? ”

"yes, their first day of auction last night was held."

"Is the turnover of the two sides out? I'm very concerned about who will win the ring. ”

"Do you need to care? Definitely Sotheby's! ”

"That is, how can a small company like ancient and modern art win against Sotheby's?"

"I know, but since ancient and modern art dares to fight with Sotheby's, I think it may still surprise us, I went to their touring exhibition before, and did bring a lot of high-grade exhibits, and this is our own company, I also hope that ancient and modern art can have a miracle, and hit Sotheby's, the leader of the auction industry, so that it is interesting!"

"I think you're delusional."

"Although I also hope that the auction company in my country can defeat the global auction leader, but the hard power is over there, not that we can think about it, I personally think that the ancient and modern art company should have some strength, but it is not really to fight with Sotheby's, people are just rubbing the heat, making a gimmick, and attracting attention, and now the goal has been achieved, it is impossible to really compete with Sotheby's, and it is good that they have a turnover of 400 million on the first day."

……

A certain household.

Several collectors are trading antiques privately.

"This Tongzhi heavy treasure is ten dollars for 50,000 yuan, you say 50,000 yuan, I won't make a counteroffer, and it will depend on the turnover of Sotheby's and Ancient and Modern Art later."

"Old money, you didn't pay back the bargain for this?"

"Yes, I'd love to know if ancient and modern art has won."

"It's not good to look at the outside world, and you still expect it to win?"

"Then I'll have to take care of it, too."

……

An antique collection forum.

The message board below suddenly came alive.

"Ancient and Modern Art and Sotheby's First Day Report Out?"

"Not yet, I don't care, I'm sure Sotheby's won."

"I'm too lazy to watch, what's there to care about in this kind of duel with a huge disparity in strength? If you have that time, you might as well go to the antique street to see if there is a chance to pick up the leak. ”

"Haha, I'm going to take a look, not expecting ancient and modern art to win Sotheby's, but to see how badly this small company that dares to challenge the auction brother Sotheby's will lose!"

"Eh, I'm interested in what you say."

"Look, let's go to Weibo to gloat after reading, hahaha!"

……

on Weibo.

Some people in the auction and collection industry are also very active.

At this moment, Sotheby's official Weibo was suddenly updated!

I saw that it was written: Although the artwork is hungry and cold, it is an important support for the powerful spiritual world of mankind. Whoever wants to destroy his kingdom must first destroy his history. Therefore, the collection of antiquities, although mostly for individual behavior, but has a group value, every collector of real money, is in their own strength, to build the great cause of national cultural inheritance, worthy of admiration. The more quiet the years, the more people need to seek spiritual solace from art. This year's Hong Kong Art Auction Week has begun, and Sotheby's has sold a lot on the first day of the season...... The lid of the first artifact of the Western Zhou Dynasty will be auctioned tonight, strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as half a piece of artifact, and the estimated price is only 6,000, but because it may be in the collection of the Northern Song Dynasty court, it was auctioned all the way to 265,000 yuan, a premium of more than 40 times. After more than half a century of low-key and waiting, it finally ushered in the highlight moment of gorgeous blooming. At present, the auction is only one-fifth, and some of the wonderful artifacts that have been sold are as follows, so you can have a sneak peek.

Below is a list of underlying estimates and closing information.

For example, the Qing Dynasty Qianlong blue jade carving Canaga Basa Venerable Shanzi, estimated at 400,000 to 600,000 yuan, and finally 850,000 yuan fell under the hammer.

Another example is the Western Weekend or the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, Dai Shuzhending, estimated at 100,000 to 150,000 yuan, 450,000 under the hammer.

Finally, the first-day turnover figure reached a staggering 704.773 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to about 600.114 million yuan according to the current exchange rate!

That's a pretty impressive turnover!

Of course, the only regret is that Sotheby's did not have a target with a transaction price of more than 100 million yuan on the first day of auction last night, and the highest price was only more than 60 million.

After all, there are too few targets with a single transaction price of more than 100 million, even if it is as strong as Sotheby's, it is impossible for every auction to have a single object with a transaction price of more than 100 million.

As soon as the numbers came out, many people in the auction industry and the collecting circle were in an uproar!

"it!"

"Sotheby's is Sotheby's!"

"The turnover on the first day exceeded 600 million!"

"Seeing this number, I can only say that I admire, eh, by the way, what do the 11% people who voted for ancient and modern art win on Weibo topics?"

"Alas, after reading Sotheby's first-day battle report, I realized how big the gap between ordinary auction companies and such industry giants is, ancient and modern art is estimated to lose badly this time, but if there can be a turnover of 400 million on the first day, it can be regarded as a deflated Sotheby's."

"Yes, holding an auction on the same day, and being able to 'steal' 400 million turnover from a leading boss like Sotheby's is definitely an honor!"

"Four hundred million? You think too much, for a company of the level of ancient and modern art, if you can burn high incense for 300 million on the first day, you still expect to have 400 million? ”

"Seems to be the case."

"The turnover of Xiling Seal Society in this autumn auction is only more than 900 million, and 300 million on the first day of ancient and modern art is good."

"Lost, this time ancient and modern art lost miserably."

The comments are almost one-sided!

When everyone saw that Sotheby's first-day battle report turnover was so terrifying, no one had any hope of winning the ring match for the ancient and modern art newspapers.

There are even many people who have begun to sympathize with ancient and modern art.

"The victory and defeat have been decided, Sotheby's leading position is still unshakable, ancient and modern art will continue to work hard in the coming year."

"Playing in the ring with such a strong opponent as Sotheby's, even if you lose, even if you lose, you are still glorious, ancient and modern art is okay, at least the courage is commendable."

"Well, that's the case, ancient and modern art is not a supergiant in the auction industry like Poly and Guardian, although several companies have gathered to organize a joint auction, but just like the senior vice president of Sotheby's said, even if five or six companies are united, it is just a rabble, and it is normal to not be able to win against Sotheby's."

"It's a pity."

"It's a shame."

"Sotheby's first-day report is so beautiful."

"If it is a little less, less than 500 million, there is still some hope for ancient and modern art."

"Alas, I still hope that ancient and modern art can win this ring match."

"It's 600 million on the first day, it's no wonder that ancient and modern art can win."

Network news also appeared.

"Although ancient and modern art is defeated, it is still glorious! 》

"Sotheby's uses its strength to tell everyone that it is still the supreme in the industry!" 》

Even if Ji Sheng, Lu Zhengqing and others have not released the first day of the battle report, the outside world feels that they have been defeated, and they never thought that they could exceed 600 million.

……

Atlantis.

The auction, titled "Ancient and Modern Treasures", got off to a good start, and everyone was desperate to give Sotheby's a big nose pocket, only to hear that Sotheby's had a staggering 600 million on the first day, and everyone was very upset.

Even, even Master Cheng, the general manager of Ancient and Modern Art, was in a heartbeat, and hurriedly read the news report on the Internet, and found that it was really like that!

Rent a conference room.

Luo Xiaohua said nervously: "Mr. Ji, Mr. Lu, Mr. Niu, and others?" Won't you talk to them about what to do? ”

Master Cheng was also vain, "We got off to a good start last night, but the other party's 600 million turnover is too much, right?" ”

"Sotheby's is Sotheby's in the end, this first day transaction is 600 million, isn't it going to more than 3 billion again?" Master Qin and Niu Yuanzhong's palm-eyed master both had weak energy, "Although we don't know how much yet, I'm afraid 600 million can't reach it, right?" ”

Hearing that Sotheby's had a turnover of 600 million in one night, many of them were desperate!

In the entire conference room, only Ji Sheng was the most calm.

He smiled and said, "What's wrong with six hundred million?" ”

A female manager of Zou Qingqiu's company said: "600 million is too much, besides, Sotheby's strength is by no means comparable to us, they can be 600 million on the first day, and it is possible to maintain this number in the next few days, even if we are so good on the first day, we can't win a ring match, which is really discouraged!" ”

Ji Sheng laughed and said: "Don't worry about this, you will know when Mr. Lu and Mr. Niu wake up." ”

"Huh?" Luo Xiaohua said strangely: "Boss, are you really not worried?" ”

Master Cheng said, "Have you already gotten the numbers?" ”

Ji Sheng smiled but said nothing.

Everyone's hearts were pounding, and Sotheby's released the news that the first-day turnover rate was 86.7%, and the total turnover was 600.114 million yuan.

More than 600 million?

People are a little afraid to believe it.

But Ji Sheng was at ease, and said in his heart that his buddy waited all night and didn't sleep, isn't it just to wait for that exact number? If Sotheby's hadn't released the news at this time, he was really not sure if he had won the battle, but now that he knew how much Sotheby's turnover was yesterday, he was completely relieved!

Six hundred million?

More on this side of the buddy!
