The first auction is a piece of porcelain from the Ge kiln that is second only to the jade seal in today's auction.

According to legend, during the Song Dynasty, the Longquan Zhang brothers each opened a kiln to burn porcelain, and the kiln of the elder brother Zhang Shengyi was called the elder brother kiln, and then referred to as the brother kiln.

Ge kiln is one of the five famous porcelain in the Song Dynasty, due to the small number of handed down, in recent years in the auction, the price is also rising.

This time, the kiln is a small cup, the diameter of the mouth is less than ten centimeters, and the milky white cup is covered with fine grid-like openings.

This kind of ice crack, known as "golden wire", is one of the characteristics of the kiln.

F&F had clearly planned the auction with great care, and it was natural that the porcelain would be the first lot to open the auction with the hope of a good start.

Pei Lao and they have already conducted an appraisal before, and everyone thinks that the porcelain cup of this brother kiln is indeed genuine, and after some discussion, everyone set the valuation at about 30 million.

If the transaction price does not exceed this price, it is natural to buy it back.

This kind of fine product that has not been handed down much, and every additional piece is an improvement in national confidence.

Alvin on the stage had already finished introducing the information about the porcelain, and then raised his hand and signaled to everyone: "The starting price is eight million, you can bid." ”

Of course, Alvin was talking about the price of euros, but Zhao Xuan translated Alvin's words in his mind and converted the price together.

As soon as Alvin's words fell, Zhang Yuan excitedly raised the sign in his hand and shouted, "Ten million!" ”

Zhao Xuan was startled next to him, are you crazy? 10 million euros, almost 100 million!

Zhao Xuan hurriedly patted Zhang Yuan and scolded in a low voice: "Your uncle! The asking price is in euros! ”

Zhang Yuan also reacted, startled, quickly stood up, and shouted: "One million euros!" Miscalculated the exchange rate! ”

Fortunately, F&F had anticipated this situation before, and they naturally did not want the auction to default due to such an error in exchange rate conversion.

When Zhang Yuan shouted out 10 million, there were already staff members rushing to him.

After some exchange, the staff raised their heads and nodded to Alvin on the stage.

Zhang Yuan raised the sign again and shouted: "One million euros!" ”

Alvin was not flustered by this small change, and said with a smile: "This gentleman bid a million euros. ”

After speaking, he added: "Please convert the exchange rate when bidding. If you are not very skilled, you can turn to our staff. ”

Alvin blinked and smiled, "After all, it's not my money that is lost. ”

The audience laughed, and the episode was revealed.

Others began to bid.

Zhang Yuan didn't care about this kind of mistake, and still frequently raised the sign in his hand.

However, Zhao Xuan has already seen that the bids at this time are all paddling.

Those who really wanted to take pictures of this collection, such as Pei Lao, were still communicating with each other in a low voice, and did not start bidding.

Alvin, who was on the stage, naturally knew it, and did not rush to urge, but continued to agitate: "A similar piece of porcelain was sold for 10 million at auction in 1998, five years later in 2003, it was sold for 16 million, and in 2010, when it was sold for the third time, the price had become 25 million. ”

Alvin raised his hand and pointed to the porcelain bowl on the table and asked, "So, almost ten years later, what will it be sold for today?" ”

"Three million euros!"

Sitting not far from Zhao Xuan and his party, a thin Asian stood up, looked around, and sneered: "Our country's porcelain, this price is not expensive at all. ”

Zhao Xuan frowned, because he had just clearly heard that this Asian had been saying "Smecta" in his mouth.

Good guy, you dare to say that this is your own country? Was there such a place during the Song Dynasty?

"There was a Song dynasty, Goryeo first descended to the Song, and then called the Liao, followed by Jin and Yuan."

Pei Lao turned his head and said to Zhao Xuan and Zhang Yuan in the tone of class: "You can't learn the habit of whoever beats me and I call my father." ”

Zhao Xuan couldn't help laughing, this cultural person just speaks, it's just different.

Zhang Yuan smiled at Zhao Xuan and said, "Lu Bu is called an expert. ”

Zhang Yuan's mending knife made Zhao Xuan unable to hold back and laughed out loud.

Pei Lao didn't lower his voice, and many people around heard it and laughed. Those who didn't understand quickly asked the translator around them, and after listening to the explanation, they also laughed out loud.

The short stick not far away must have heard it too, but I don't know if it understood.

However, seeing that everyone was laughing, and knowing that it was not a good word, he turned his head and glared at Pei Lao and the others fiercely, and said, "Don't talk if you don't have money!" ”

"Three ,200,000 euros."

The laughter didn't stop the auction from continuing, and a white man in the distance held up a sign.

"Three and a half million!" Before the stick man sat down, he heard someone raise the price, and shouted again, and glanced at Pei Lao proudly after shouting.

Pei Lao ignored others, discussed with several experts next to him in a low voice, held up the sign, and shouted: "Three million and eight million." ”

"Four million!"

"Four million two hundred thousand!"

"Four million two hundred and fifty thousand!"

As the price gradually approached Pei Lao's estimated transaction price, the magnitude of the price increase began to gradually decrease.

Everyone's bids are starting to be cautious.

However, the real buyers are only now starting to bid, and troublemakers like Zhang Yuan are gradually no longer speaking.

"Four million four hundred thousand!"

"Four and a half million!"

Two voices shouted at the same time in the distance, and Alvin laughed on the stage: "Mr. who bid four million and forty thousand, you said it was late, and now it is four and a half million." ”

The man who had made a bid of four million and four hundred thousand shook his head, but he stopped bidding.

The current bid has exceeded Pei Lao's estimate.

Pei Lao shook his head helplessly, in the auction hall, there is no premium, it is really unlikely.

Now there are only three people left who continue to bid, except for Pei Lao and his party, only the stick and a white man in the distance.

"Four million six million!" Pei Lao once again raised the sign.

"Four million seven million!"

Not long after Pei Lao finished speaking, the stick not far away immediately shouted.

"Four million seven hundred and fifty thousand!" Pei Lao frowned and held up the sign.

The white man in the distance shouted again: "Four million and eight thousand! ”

"Four million nine million!" The stick held up the sign.

"Five million!" The white man shouted in the distance.

Pei Lao communicated with a few experts and gave up continuing to increase the price.

According to the exchange rate, 5 million euros is already more than 40 million, and at this price, there is no need to continue the auction.

After all, their goal is not to invest, and it really makes no sense to pay a high premium.

The stick lowered his head and discussed with the people around him in a low voice, held up the sign, and shouted: "Five million and one hundred thousand!" ”

The white man in the distance was also discussing with the people around him, and Alvin on the stage was not in a hurry, still shouting in high spirits: "This gentleman bids five million and one million!" If you think about the price of European art, Asian artefacts obviously have a greater investment value! ”

"Five million two hundred and fifty thousand!" The whites seemed to accept Alvin's claim and added another 150,000.

Although Alvin did not mention the price increase, the people present were all decent people, and they did not make any such a as raising the price by a dollar, and the minimum range was 50,000 euros.

Zhao Xuan's liver trembled when he heard it, and he opened his mouth casually, it was hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands, so that Zhao Xuan didn't know whether it was money or numbers.

The stick also seems to be starting to feel that the price is a bit high, and is discussing it in a low voice, and does not continue to bid.

"Five million two hundred and fifty thousand!"

Alvin has already begun to count down.

Seeing that the stick didn't seem to be going to bid, Zhang Yuan chuckled and said to himself: "Don't talk if you don't have money, it's a waste of everyone's time." ”

The voice was not small, and many people heard it, and they all turned their heads to look at Zhang Yuan.

Only Alvin continued to shout on the stage: "Five million two hundred and fifty thousand for the second time!" ”

Unexpectedly, that stick could actually speak Chinese, provoked by Zhang Yuan, stood up, glared at Zhang Yuan fiercely, and raised a sign and shouted: "Five and a half million!" ”

Alvin immediately changed his tone and said, "This gentleman bid five and a half million!" ”

The white man in the distance helplessly spread his hands and gestured at Alvin.

This price has far exceeded Alvin's prior plan, and there is no need for any more agitation, seeing that the last competitor signaled to withdraw, and soon, he struck the hammer in his hand.

"Song Dynasty Brother Kiln Cup, 5.5 million euros, deal!"

As the hammer fell, the scene remembered a round of applause.

Before the stick sat down, seeing the applause of the people around him, he raised his hand to signal to everyone, and glanced at Zhang Yuan provocatively, and then sat down.

As soon as the stick sat down, he said to the person next to him: "Some people like to shout nonsense when they don't have money." ”

This sentence is spoken in Chinese, and it is obviously for Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuanqi's teeth are itching, but he is helpless, he will not be like a rural villager, scolding the street at the auction.

I had to turn my head, snort coldly, and stop looking over there.

The first lot got off to a good start, and the auction scene gradually became popular, with frequent bids, and except for one that was too obviously fake, the next six or seven lots were sold at a significant premium.

The stick just now took two more pieces of collection, both of which are cultural relics from the Song Dynasty.

Every time he succeeds, he will continue to provoke Zhang Yuan to show that he has sufficient financial resources.

Pei Lao also took action and photographed a set of saddles from the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The price is not high, it is about one million, and the collection value is not high. But this thing is very meaningful for historical research.

About halfway through the auction, Alvin announced a fifteen-minute break.

Everyone got up, smoked when it was time to smoke, and went to the toilet when it was time to go to the toilet.

Zhao Xuan and Zhang Yuan were standing outside the exhibition hall drinking Coke.

The café next to it was already full, and the two of them were just drinking a Coke, so there was no need to squeeze it.

"Uncle, these damn sticks, it's really annoying." Zhang Yuan was still haunted by the stick just now.

"What the hell are you doing? Find your own anger. ”

"But the master is still unhappy." Zhang Yuan hiccuped and said, "Always find a chance to teach a lesson." ”

Ferdinand, on the other side, also stood up and walked out of the exhibition hall while greeting familiar people.

It can be seen that Ferdinand is in a good mood because the auction is going well.

Seeing Zhao Xuan and the two standing outside the door, Ferdinand walked over slowly, but did not greet the two.

It's just that when he passed by the two of them, he said: "Last night, the stick checked the jade seal alone and thought it was genuine." ”

Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up.

Just as he wanted to speak, Ferdinand was already far away.
