Auction Room 2.

The hundreds of buyers present were staring at each other, and they all knew that there would be a heavyweight porcelain auction here today, and naturally everyone was very concerned.

Especially the top collectors in Xiangjiang, their favorite collection is porcelain, and they are gearing up one by one, waiting for the icing on the cake to be auctioned on the beautiful sandwich bottle.

"The next one is the icing on the cake of the magenta red ground and the exquisite holly sandwich bottle, right?"

"Yes, this porcelain is enough to set up an independent special session, I heard that they were originally going to make an independent special session for the icing on the cake holly exquisite sandwich bottle of the magenta red ground, but later the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was born, and this independent special session was given to the Chicken Bowl Cup."

"If it's an independent show, we don't have such an eye."

A group of collectors who are not strong enough to photograph the icing on the cake of the magenta red ground and the exquisite holly sandwich bottle are whispering.

They really don't have the strength to spend tens of millions of dollars to auction such a peerless treasure, but it doesn't prevent them from coming to the auction site and having the honor to participate in the competition for this treasure.

The front row is full of bigwigs.

Miss Chu, Lao Zhang, Mr. Qu, Liu Xiong, etc., are all sitting in front today.

Everyone can see that this group of bigwigs is for the magenta red icing on the cake holly exquisite sandwich bottle.

"It's coming." Mr. Qu said suddenly.

Mr. Ye Cheng, a new top collector in Xiangjiang yesterday, looked excited, "It's finally here."

On the contrary, Chen Tai, the top collector of the bend who also came over yesterday, smiled and said: "You can fight later, I will wait for the blue and white sea water red color dragon pattern eight auspicious ear gourd bottle at night." ”

Liu Xiong was amused by Chen Tai, "Chen Sheng, you have a good idea, let's fight desperately to put the icing on the cake on the icing of holly and exquisite sandwich bottles, how about you sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman at night?" ”

"Huh."

"Mr. Chen, you can't do this."

Miss Chu, Mr. Qu and the others all laughed.

Just as everyone was laughing.

Zhang You on the stage said slowly: "Okay, let's conduct the auction of the last piece of porcelain this afternoon, I believe everyone already knows what it is, that's right, it is the icing on the cake of the Qing Qianlong Colorful Wintergreen exquisite sandwich bottle." ”

Zhang You slowly introduced this laminated bottle, "There is a corresponding record in the "Work File" on August 12 of the seventh year of Qianlong, and the lips of the exquisite set of bottles are turned outward, like a canopy, decorated with ruyi cloud patterns, extremely exquisite. The neck carmine is red, the thin conical phoenix tail curls the grass pattern, the icing on the cake is the foreign flower, the crocus curls the leaves, the silk manli, the gold double dragon ears are decorated with decorations, and the power of the sky is fully displayed. Between the flowers on the red ground of the drum belly, the pink and blue depict the gold hollow antique pattern, the dragon and the bird are entangled, accompanied by the beast like a manta, orderly and orderly. The gap is empty, and the inner bottle imitates the blue and white peach, which seems to be virtual, the peach is firm, the branches and leaves are strong, the depth and shade, and the elegant wind is overflowing. The foot echoes with the bottle mouth, shoulder and neck ornamentation, and the inner neck and the bottom of the vessel are colored with turquoise green, and the bottom is signed with alum red six-character seal. ”

Ji Sheng, who was standing in the corner with Lu Zhengqing, nodded slightly when he heard this, not everyone can remember all of these professional knowledge, take this afternoon's porcelain auction as an example, a total of ninety-nine objects, An auctioneer has to write down the professional knowledge of these objects, and each one corresponds, and his memory is really outstanding.

Fingers turn colorful, full of Ming Dynasty craftsmanship blue and white peach inner bottle looming. The "Activity File" calls this inner vase "Xuanhua Vase" - a blue and white vase during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, which shows the Qianlong Emperor's appreciation of porcelain from the previous dynasty. The foreign painting on the red ground can be understood as an artistic expression that combines Chinese and Western cultures. We can see in this exquisite vase the traces of both Chinese and Western art from ancient times to the present, representing the superb porcelain firing technology of the Manchu Dynasty at that time. Zhang You also added a piece of his own understanding of the laminated bottle, the purpose of which is to be able to make the people present pay a higher price for the auction.

After the introduction, Zhang You said: "The starting price is 45 million yuan, and each increase shall not be less than 500,000 yuan. ”

What is the 5050 model?

For example, the starting price of a target is 50,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000 yuan each time, then the default price increase is 5,000 yuan each time, that is, 55,000, 60,000, 65,000, 70,000 and so on.

This is a bit different from the traditional 2580 and 2468 models.

After all, the top auctioneers will use these techniques according to the situation of the lot, take Zhang You this time, the whole session was in the 2580 mode, but in the end he changed to the 5050 mode, the main reason is that he is very optimistic about this magenta red ground icing on the cake holly exquisite sandwich bottle, and wants this model to auction a higher price.

Ji Sheng and Lu Zhengqing were very nervous.

They looked carefully at the buyers in the auction hall to see who would be the first to raise their cards.

Just when they were looking forward to it, a female collector in her thirties from Xiangjiang sitting in the back row held up a sign.

Zhang You immediately stretched out his hand and said, "The starting price of lady No. 2367 is forty-five million!" ”

It's not the same as the fierce competition you imagined.

Maybe the starting price of this target is too high, when someone is the first to raise the card, others actually don't follow, which is in stark contrast to the intensity of Ji Sheng's Yuan blue and white standard auction.

Lu Zhengqing was a little panicked when he saw this form, and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Ji, no one is bidding." ”

Although this cyanmar red icing on the cake holly exquisite sandwich bottle is not his own, Ji Sheng has great expectations, after all, it is unlikely that they will auction hundreds of millions of targets, he comforted Lu Zhengqing as much as possible: "It's okay, I guess everyone is thinking about the psychological price." ”

"Let's hope so." Lu Zhengqing smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, someone raised a sign again at the next moment, this time it was another big man in the world's rare group, Sunshine was with you, Mr. Yang.

Zhang You also secretly wiped a cold sweat, before he saw Gao Mingde auction Yuan Qinghua for hundreds of millions of dollars, he always felt that it was because of the problem of the target, and now it is his turn to preside over the auction of such a precious target, if he can't bid for a high price, it will definitely be more uncomfortable than killing him, "Four thousand five million and five million, this gentleman in the front row bids."

But Zhang You was doomed to disappointment.

Although there were a lot of buyers present, there were not many people who could really afford 40 or 50 million.

The group of bigwigs didn't know what was going on, and they only had one or two mouthfuls of bidding, but no one raised their cards.

"Four thousand and five million, will anyone still increase the price?" Zhang You asked.

There was silence below.

Zhang You took a deep breath, livened up the atmosphere, and then asked for the second time, "Four and five million, has anyone increased the price?" ”

This time, someone raised a card, it was Yun Lao.

Zhang You immediately said: "Forty-one million! The old gentleman in the front row made a bid. ”

Then there was another silence.

Ji Sheng and Lu Zhengqing were in a hurry to see it.

As a result, when Zhang You asked the price for the third time, someone raised a sign again, and then the situation was the same as just now, and he fell into a short silence again.

It's a weird situation.

Half an hour passed, and only eleven prices were called, and under normal circumstances, thirty prices were called.

The only thing that makes Ji Sheng and Lu Zhengqing gratifying is that because Ms. Zhou, a member of Juding in the middle, took the initiative to ask for the price, the current price has come to 59.5 million.

There are fewer people who will raise their cards.

There are only two or three people left, namely Liu Xiong, Miss Chu and Ye Cheng.

"Ninety-nine million five thousand for the last time." Zhang You tried to delay the time as much as possible, "becoming a ......"

Miss Chu swiped the ground and raised the card, but the price was increased by 500,000 by default.

Sixty million!

It's 60 million!

This price is simply difficult, and Ji Sheng and Lu Zhengqing are entangled to death.

I don't know if it's the last moment of bidding, but the two bigwigs Liu Xiong and Ye Cheng have become faster than they can handle.

"Six thousand and five hundred thousand!"

"Sixty-one million!"

"Sixty-one and a half million!"

There were seven or eight more price increases here.

In the end, Miss Chu took the initiative to increase the price when she raised the price for the next ninth mouthful: "Seventy million." ”

Liu Xiong and Ye said that they did not increase the price again.

Zhang You tried his best to enliven the atmosphere of the scene, but no one was willing to raise cards, and in the end, he could only regretfully announce: "Seventy million, the last ...... Once, into ...... Deliver! ”

The auction hall burst into applause.

Ji Sheng and Lu Zhengqing glanced at each other with a wry smile.

Although this magenta red icing on the cake Holly exquisite sandwich bottle sold for 70 million, which has exceeded their estimate, but at the beginning the goal was to sell for hundreds of millions, but in the end it was only 70 million, and the gap is too big.

"Ugh." Lu Zhengqing sighed, "There is one less target that can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars." ”

Ji Sheng said helplessly: "No way, everyone is not fiercely competitive, and we are not in a rut." ”

"It's strange, this colorful red ground icing on the cake holly exquisite sandwich bottle is obviously the pinnacle of the Qing Dynasty porcelain level, or a model of the combination of Chinese and Western, why is the competition not fierce at all?" Lu Zhengqing's face was a little ugly and said, "Shouldn't everyone be waiting for the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup?" In that case, wouldn't your company's blue and white sea water red color dragon pattern eight auspicious Ruyi ear gourd bottle be not fierce tonight? ”

Ji Sheng sighed in his heart, what Lu Zhengqing said made some sense, could it be that everyone is really waiting for that Chenghua Doucai chicken cup?

While they were in turmoil, the customers left.

Zhang You also walked over with a depressed face, sighing and saying, "Alas, the two bosses, I have failed your love." ”

"What are you talking about?" Ji Sheng smiled and comforted him: "This magenta red ground icing on the cake holly exquisite sandwich bottle is only estimated to be 65 million, and you have been successful in auctioning 70 million." ”

"But...... But ......" Zhang You was very uncomfortable, "Before the start of filming, I was rushing for hundreds of millions, and now it's only 70 million." ”

Ji Sheng comforted him again and said: "How can it be possible that each target will fetch hundreds of millions? This kind of thing is unavoidable, don't blame yourself. ”

Zhang You's confidence was seriously hit, "Originally, I presided over the auction of Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain in the evening, and there was another blue and white sea water red color dragon pattern eight auspicious Ruyi ear gourd bottle, but I didn't bid a high price this afternoon, or you let Lao Gao go up at night, he is better than me." ”

Gao Mingde has not slowed down the large-scale porcelain auction on the first day before, after all, he is old.

Ji Sheng wanted Gao Mingde to preside, but he wanted Gao Mingde to raise enough spirit to preside over the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, how could he let Lao Gao appear at this time, he encouraged Zhang You as much as possible: "Lao Zhang, don't have a psychological burden, I believe you can do it, similarly, I also believe that my company's blue and white sea water red color dragon pattern eight auspicious Ruyi ear gourd bottle can do, you let go to host, tonight I believe it will be able to auction hundreds of millions of prices!" ”

Perhaps because of Ji Sheng's encouragement, Zhang You's confidence recovered a little, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

It's not a good effort!

It must be auctioned hundreds of millions!

Ji Sheng secretly said in his heart, the sandwich bottle in the afternoon was not his own, and it was only auctioned for 70 million, he just felt a little regretful, but the blue and white sea red color dragon pattern eight auspicious Ruyi ear gourd bottle at night was his own, if he couldn't shoot hundreds of millions, he would definitely be uncomfortable to death.

However, Ji Sheng is still very confident, after all, the blue and white seawater red color dragon pattern eight auspicious Ruyi ear gourd bottle is more precious than the sandwich bottle by several grades!
