Chapter 236: The Dark Horse Kills the Universe (Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In anticipation, the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup is finally on the auction!
Ji Sheng, Lu Zhengqing and others have taken great pains to preside over this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, not only set up an independent special session, but also arranged the most powerful gold medal auctioneer Gao Mingde to preside, you must know that in order to make this chicken bowl cup auction at a good price, Ji Sheng and Lu Zhengqing and other partners, But only Gao Mingde presided over one or two auctions before, the purpose is to raise the spirit to shoot this chicken bowl cup.
Of course, those who can enter the independent session are real big customers.
Needless to say, Liu Xiong is worth 100 billion yuan and is one of the top ten collectors in the world.
Sister Hongxing, Miss Chu, is rumored to have a family background, although her wealth has not been announced to the public, but Ji Sheng vaguely heard Yun Lao, Chen Lao and others talk about it, and knew that the assets were no less than Liu Xiong.
Lao Zhang, Mr. Qu, Sister Ning, Mr. Luo, Mr. Fu, Ms. Lu, Chen Tai, Ye Cheng, Sunshine is with you, Mr. Yang and others are worth more than 10 billion.
In addition, there are several bigwigs in the world's rare groups such as my blackest and little demon boy, and of course, there are also six or seven members of Art Finance and Juding, and these people are slightly weaker, but they also have billions one by one.
It can be said that the twenty people here are all top wealthy collectors.
If you want to participate in their independent auction, you also need to verify the assets, and those worth less than 2 billion will not be put in at all, after all, the starting price of this object is set at 200 million, and the transaction price may reach 250 million, and it is almost impossible for people worth less than 2 billion to get so much money.
Yun Lao and Chen Lao had the strength to participate, but they were reluctant to spend so much money, so they were only invited to watch.
It was not only Yun Lao and Chen Lao who were invited to watch, but also Art Finance, Juding and Tianxia Treasures, as well as some other powerful top collectors, even if these people did not participate in the auction, they would always have to pass by, and as for other collectors with slightly weaker strength, they were not even qualified to be spectators.
Fan Zeng, Fan Yang and Wang Jiaxun were also invited.
At this point, everybody's just entered.
"Teacher Fan, please take a seat."
"Ouch, Teacher Fan, don't be humble, you are highly respected, you should sit in the C position."
Everyone was very polite to Fan Zeng.
I have to say that Fan Zeng's status in calligraphy, painting, and Chinese culture is still very lofty.
Ji Sheng also politely welcomed Fan Zeng and others into the spectator seat, he also thought about making an appointment with Lao Fan, if he held an independent auction in the future, as long as Fan Zeng, Fan Yang and Wang Jiaxun and other great masters were willing to provide a few paintings every year, he would be able to add a lot of achievements.
Everyone sat down here.
Notaries and others are also there.
In the end, Gao Mingde slowly walked in from outside, and as soon as he came in, he made a humorous joke with everyone, making everyone laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
"Since there are not many people participating in this auction, and everyone is a top collector, I won't introduce too much about the target information." Gao Mingde was relaxed, and did not introduce the details of the bid like the special auction, after all, the people who can come to the independent special scene may still know more about the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup.
Liu Xiong, Miss Chu, Chen Tai and the others didn't speak, but there was a smile on their faces.
Ji Sheng also secretly admires Gao Mingde's rich auction experience, he won't say a word when he shouldn't say much, and he will be active when he should be active in the atmosphere, and he is worthy of being a top auctioneer.
"This is the last auction of the season." Gao Mingde said unhurriedly: "The starting price is 200 million yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 500,000 yuan each time. ”
Here we go!
It's time to get started!
Ji Sheng was extremely nervous, he knew whether the total turnover could exceed Sotheby's, and it was up to him to see this auction.
Lu Zhengqing, Niu Yuanzhong and the others also became solemn, and they all stopped talking when they sat there.
Even Fan Zeng, Yun Lao and other people who have no interest in the relationship are quietly watching the battle for this peerless treasure at this moment.
Who's going to strike first?
Just when everyone had this question, someone took the lead in raising the auction card.
It's Miss Chu!
It's obvious that she has missed two high-grade porcelain pieces before, and this time she is bound to win!
When Gao Mingde saw it, he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Lady No. 1001 has a starting price of 200 million." ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xiong followed and raised the card.
"Two hundred and a half million, Mr. 1002 is asking for it."
The outcry doesn't look too intense.
Basically, only after the auctioneer finishes the offer will someone continue to raise the card, unlike the endless stream of cards at the large-scale auction site.
Old Zhang held up a card.
"Two hundred million and one million."
Subsequently, Mr. Qu, Sister Ning, Mr. Luo and Ms. Lu successively raised signs.
"Two hundred and one million and a half million."
"Two hundred million and two million."
"Two hundred and twenty-five million."
"Two hundred and three million."
One after another, the price was called 210.5 million.
During this period, no one took the initiative to bid.
Generally speaking, for such a heavyweight target, only when the price climbs to a price, some people can't sit still and try to take the initiative to offer, and once the active quotation starts, it basically announces that the most tragic bidding link is about to officially come.
"Two hundred and fifty million, lady 1005 is asking for it." Gao Mingde stretched out his hand to Sister Ning, but his eyes looked at the others, "Is there still anyone who has increased the price?" ”
The people below were silent for a moment.
No one continued to hold up their cards.
It stands to reason that no one has ever taken the initiative to bid, so this situation is unlikely to happen.
Ji Sheng didn't take it seriously at first, waiting for someone to continue to raise the card.
Gao Mingde waited for a while, and when he saw that there was still no one raising a sign, he asked for the second time, "210.5 million, has anyone increased the price?" ”
The group of bigwigs still sat comfortably with the old gods, without the slightest sign of raising their cards.
Ji Sheng's heart tightened, and he said in his heart that this group of people should not hold up their cards, right?
Gao Mingde tried to liven up the atmosphere, and the people sitting below just smiled, but still didn't hold up their signs.
There was no way, so he had to ask for the third time, "Two hundred and one million and a half million, the most ...... After...... One...... times, into ......"
Gao Mingde's auction gavel was raised.
Ji Sheng looked at it with a sigh in his heart, it's over, is it such a low deal?
You must know that they estimated that they could sell 250 million before, but now they haven't even broken through 220 million?
But now the Shenhao buyers don't raise their cards, and Ji Sheng can't do anything, he is a little desperate, this is the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, how can no one take the initiative to bid for the deal?
Fortunately, Gao Mingde's word "handover" has not yet been shouted, and someone has raised a sign.
It was Mr. Ye Cheng, and he was the first to take the initiative to quote on the spot, "215 million." ”
Call!
Luckily, someone made a bid.
Ji Sheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Lu Zhengqing, Niu Yuanzhong and other worried people heard the offer, so they put their hearts back.
Gao Mingde had a calm face, as if he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, he would not be shaken by anything at the auction site at all, he just smiled and stretched out his hand, and said, "Two hundred and fifty million." Mr. 1010 bids. ”
Fan Zeng, who was sitting next to Ji Sheng, said to his nephew Fan Yang in a low voice: "Mr. Ye is going out." ”
Fan Yang also said in a small voice: "Won't it?" Is it really going to be out soon? ”
Fan Zeng smiled and shook his head without explaining.
Ji Sheng probably understands what it means, generally speaking, the first person to take the initiative to quote is either menacing and determined to win this target, or he is about to reach the psychological price, so he simply quotes a price that is very close to his psychological price to see if he can suppress others.
Ye said that the offer was not fierce, it was the latter.
So Fan Zeng is basically right to say that he wants to be out.
Sure enough, after the next seven or eight rounds of raising cards, when the price came to 222.5 million, Ye said that he would no longer continue to raise cards, and he was out.
Ji Sheng was pondering.
Liu Xiong took the initiative to ask for the price, "230 million!" ”
The price has risen by 7.5 million all at once!
This time, Ji Sheng heard it clearly, and knew that Liu Xiong was oppressive with power, and his momentum was very fierce, and it was obvious that he was determined to win.
At the same time, he understands one thing, when one of them is menacing with the momentum of ambition, the bidding will also enter the white heat!
Sure enough, Miss Chu, Sister Ning and others felt Liu Xiong's pressure, and fell into contemplation one by one, as if they were thinking about whether to continue to increase the price, and if so, how much would it be appropriate to increase.
"Two hundred and thirty million. Mr. 1002 bids. Gao Mingde stretched out his hand.
Ji Sheng, Lu Zhengqing and others thought that Liu Xiong was alone in this time period, and everyone would think carefully before deciding whether to continue to follow.
But what no one expected was that Mr. Luo suddenly came out, he raised his card and calmly quoted, "Two hundred and thirty-two million." ”
Although only two million were added, everyone knew that Mr. Luo was in response!
"Two hundred and thirty-two million!"
Gao Mingde only shouted.
Mr. Yang raised his card and quoted, "235 million." ”
Liu Xiong once again raised his card to suppress people, "240 million!" ”
When this price came out, two members of Juding and Art Finance shook their heads, as if they were not ready to follow.
Miss Chu smiled, and also raised a sign to ask: "Two hundred and forty-three million." ”
Mr. Qu raised his card, "246 million." ”
Liu Xiong raised his card again, and said in a firm tone: "Two hundred and fifty million!" ”
"Ouch!"
"Two and a half million!"
"This price is estimated to brush off many people and continue to follow the price."
"Well, Mr. Liu, Miss Chu, they are eliminating competitors."
Yun Lao, Chen Lao and others chatted in a whisper.
Ji Sheng and Lu Zhengqing glanced at each other, and also understood that the reason why Liu Xiong, Miss Chu and others made efforts was not because they had too much money and had nowhere to spend it, on the contrary, they were saving money in this way, because if 500,000 and 500,000 yuan were added, there were too many people competing, and it was easy to raise the price to a very high point.
Instead of "boiling frogs in warm water", it is better to kill those competitors who are not as good as Liu Xiong, Miss Chu and others in the psychological price range.
250 million is a watershed.
The scene brushed off more than a dozen bidders at once.
There are only seven or eight people left in the fight.
This auction is carried out at the scene, if you don't listen to everyone's offer, just looking at the atmosphere of the scene, it doesn't seem to be fierce at all, but in fact, such a top-level auction is already very intense, after all, the number of participants is relatively small, and it is impossible to be as vigorous as a large-scale auction site.
"Two hundred and fifty million!" Gao Mingde was excited and said, "Does anyone continue to increase the price?" ”
Mr. Qu raised his card and didn't say anything.
"Two hundred and fifty million five hundred and fifty million."
Chen Tai raised his card, and also increased the price by default.
"Two hundred and fifty-one million."
Then everyone seemed to fall into a tacit understanding, and no one took the initiative to quote, and one after another raised the sign to increase the price by default.
Ji Sheng, Lu Zhengqing, Wu Hongyi and others didn't dare to take a breath, so they quietly watched the signs.
Prices are slowly rising.
Soon it came to 257 million.
At this point, half an hour has passed since the auction begins.
Ms. Lu seemed to be a little unable to sit still, and she was on the verge of her psychological price, "Two hundred and sixty million!" ”
"Two hundred and sixty million!" Gao Mingde stretched out his hand.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xiong swept Ms. Lu out of the field with a glance, and he raised his card to ask for the price, "262.5 million." ”
Ms. Lu smiled wryly and gave up the bid.
Chen Tai saw that the situation was not right, and said desperately: "Two hundred and sixty-five million." ”
Miss Chu and Liu Xiong cooperated very well, and she raised a sign to "expell" Chen Tai from the scene, "268 million." ”
Chen Tai sighed and put down the auction card helplessly.
There were only five or six people left.
Everyone competed for a short while, and then Mr. Yang was also expelled from the field.
At this time, Miss Chu had already asked for 289 million.
The crowd in the spectators was also talking.
"It is estimated that the person who won this chicken bowl cup in the end is either Miss Chu or Mr. Liu."
"Well, it's quite possible that they have the most financial resources and the most ferocious bargains."
"I just don't know if Mr. Liu will take it down, or Miss Chu."
"Read on."
Everyone was very quiet, and there was no noise about the auction that was going on.
Ji Sheng was watching the thrill.
Suddenly, Tian Liangping said softly, "Mr. Fu hasn't called any price until now." ”
Ji Sheng testified, yes, every buyer present has basically raised their cards, but Mr. Fu has not moved until now, is it ...... Is this the real dark horse?
Lu Zhengqing, Zou Qingqiu, Wu Hongyi, and Niu Yuanzhong heard Tian Liangping say this, and they couldn't help but set their eyes on Mr. Fu.
"Two hundred and eighty-nine million! Lady number 1001 bids! Gao Mingde asked, "Do others still increase the price?" ”
Liu Xiong stood still.
Miss Chu smiled like a blooming lotus flower.
The two of them just sat there, as if they wanted to see who would jump out at this time, and then they teamed up again to expel people with force, and finally fought the battle for the top.
Mr. Qu, Mr. Luo and others also seemed to know what the two of them had in mind, frowning and thinking about how to bid to win this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup from the hands of the two gods.
Just when everyone was thinking, Gao Mingde asked the price for the second time, "289 million, will anyone continue to increase the price?" ”
Liu Xiong's old god is at ease.
Miss Chu has the chance to win.
The rest hesitated.
Yun Lao, Chen Lao, Fan Zeng and the others next to them all opened their eyes wide and wanted to know who would kill them at this time.
Gao Mingde saw that everyone was still hesitating, he livened up the atmosphere for a while, and then made a third inquiry, "Two hundred and eighty-nine million, and finally ...... One...... Times. Speaking of this, he tilted his head and looked at everyone, and when he saw that everyone still didn't bid, "Cheng ......"
"Three hundred and twenty-one million!"
An old, firm and powerful voice exploded!
Brush!
Everyone looked sideways at the man who spoke in astonishment.
Ji Sheng, Lu Zhengqing, Niu Yuanzhong and others were all blinded, they never thought that someone would raise the price of 32 million all of a sudden, this ...... It's scary!
Even a few of their CEOs are still like this, not to mention the bystanders and those who are participating in the auction.
Everyone looked at Mr. Fu's smiling face, revealing a look of disbelief!
321 million?
You're bidding 321 million? You're crazy, aren't you?
Pull up 32 million all at once? There is no such thing as you in auction bidding!
At first, everyone didn't react, and they didn't know what Mr. Fu's idea was, but after thinking about it carefully, they understood!
Mr. Fu is a dark horse!
If we extrapolate according to the trend of Miss Chu and Liu Xiong's joint efforts to expel competitors, it is very likely that by the time the other buyers are evicted, the asking price will be on the verge of 320 million, and then Miss Chu and Liu Xiong will have to fight to the death, who knows how high the final price will be?
But Mr. Fu asked for 321 million at once, on the surface, he was "stupid" to raise the price of 32 million, in fact, if such a high price can deter others, he can spend a smaller price than the original result to win this peerless treasure Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup!
Moreover, Mr. Fu asked for a whole price, and deliberately left a tail of one million, just to tell everyone that if you still want to bid, I will continue to increase the price!
It can be said that this trick is very clever.
The offer of 321 million will give huge psychological pressure to any competitor present, plus a sudden increase of 32 million, this is purely Mount Tai overpowered, wanting to directly crush everyone, plus Mr. Fu said that there is a backhand, which directly makes people lose the desire to compete, after all, if the competition comes to a sky-high price in the end, Mr. Fu will not make a bid, which will make the competitors pay a great price.
As soon as everyone reacted, they immediately secretly praised Mr. Fu in their hearts for being old and cunning!
Ji Sheng also came back to his senses at this time, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, surprised by the ruthlessness of Mr. Fu's methods, and happy that the asking price actually came to 321 million, which was already beyond the transaction price they estimated at 250 million before the auction began!
It's just a pity that if such a high price is called, no one should follow it anymore, right?
As the saying goes, the future is undecided, you and I are dark horses.
But Mr. Fu is a dark horse.
Next, as Ji Sheng imagined, the price of 321 million is too high, if it is added step by step, Miss Chu and Liu Xiong may grit their teeth and continue to follow, but this suddenly goes up, even if Liu Xiong and Miss Chu have such strong financial resources as they give up.
After Gao Mingde asked three times in a row, he was sure that no one would bid again, so he held the auction hammer high and fell, letting out a "bang" sound, "Deal!" ”
Three hundred and twenty-one million!
The grand finale of the "Ancient and Modern Treasures" theme auction has come to an end in this shocking huge transaction figure!
Ji Sheng was the first to stand up and applaud.
Pop, snap, applause rang out clearly in the small auction hall and reached the ears of everyone present.
Immediately afterwards, even if Miss Chu was unwilling, she was still very qualified, and the second one applauded.
Liu Xiong, Lu Zhengqing, Yun Lao, Fan Zeng and others all stood up, clapped their hands lightly, and applauded Mr. Fu's bid of 321 million, celebrating the joint auction with the theme of "Ancient and Modern Treasures"!
Ji Sheng was about to step forward and say a few words.
Suddenly, Niu Yuanzhong next to him seemed to think of something, and he said in a daze, "I...... Did we surpass Sotheby's in total turnover? ”
"Huh?"
"More than Sotheby's?"
"320 million plus 2716 million, it seems to be 337 million, Sotheby's I remember is 3.55 billion Hong Kong dollars, converted into soft girl banknotes is 3366 million, we exceed them by about 340 million?"
"Shhh It's really superb! Niu Yuanzhong was afraid of making a mistake, so he took out his mobile phone and looked at the total turnover data table that he had taken before.
Ji Sheng leaned over to take a look and found that their total turnover was indeed 400,000 more than what Sotheby's announced to the public!
No way!
Really superb, huh?
At this moment, Ji Sheng's whole person felt like he was in a dream, he rubbed his eyes again in disbelief and looked at the numbers on the total turnover data table on Niu Yuanzhong's mobile phone, only then did he make sure that he was not mistaken, it was exceeded, their total turnover really surpassed Sotheby's!
Ji Sheng was about to suffocate with happiness all of a sudden, and at this moment, he could finally raise his eyebrows, and he could fiercely question the senior vice president of Sotheby's, who is the rabble.
He had waited too long for this moment.
Now, it's finally here!
