Chapter 244: Continued Glory
Although the error of the 10 yuan conjoined banknote is rare, the value of the 10 yuan banknote is greatly discounted because the number of 10,000 sets is issued.
Moreover, after the issuance of the coin, before the error was discovered, some profit-hungry coin dealers cut the 10-piece banknote into two pieces and sold it, resulting in only about 5,000 sets of 10-piece banknotes on the market today.
But this number is still too large to reflect its intrinsic value.
Previously, Mr. Jin had given Ou Yiran a set of quadruples as a gift, which was the result of cutting.
As the saying goes, rare things are expensive, not to mention 5,000 sets, even 500 sets, and the value will not be too great.
This is one of the major characteristics of the wrong coin, once issued, because of the large number of factors, the value is far less than the wrong coin.
Because of the peculiar formation process of the wrong coin, each coin is different, in other words, each coin is unique, so the value is very expensive.
Mr. Kim's set of 10 pieces of Macau 10 double wrong coins was finally sold for 18,000 yuan.
Next is Ou Yiran's incomparably wrong 05 version of the 100 yuan ido 100 watermark wrong coin.
Between the wrong coins and the wrong coins, because of the relationship between the quantity, the difference of one word will make a world of difference.
As soon as the wrong coin was typed on the big screens on both sides, and the close-up 100 watermark was shown as the shape of IDO, it immediately caused a sensation in the audience.
There are many famous collectors from all over the world who come to participate in this special auction of wrong coins.
People are usually interested in a certain thing, which is called a hobby. And being extremely interested in a certain thing is called a hobby.
People who love love are usually rational and don't force what they can't get. And people who are hobbyists, once they have a strong interest in something, may do whatever it takes.
During the Republic of China, there was a strange case, there was once a person in the Northeast who devoured his life, and he would rather starve to death on the kang with a collection that he couldn't put down, rather than take it out and replace it with a few bags of rice to continue his life.
And the process of forming the wrong point of this wrong coin is wonderful, and to this day, it is also incomprehensible to the breadth of European and elegant knowledge.
The more wonderful and unpredictable the formation process of the wrong coin, the more interested the collector will be.
Collectors can tell how this is caused by errors such as white, fuer, omission, and offset. Without the interest in inquiry, the value is naturally not too outrageous.
And the auction company's use of the phrase to promote this wrong coin is a wonderful process, a puzzling mistake.
A wrong coin that can arouse the infinite interest of collectors, and it is the only one in the world, its value will naturally be unimaginably high.
Therefore, the starting price of HK$15 million immediately amazed the audience.
Mr. Jin looked at Ou Yiran incredulously and asked, "Mr. Ou, where did you dig up such an amazing wrong coin?" ”
However, without waiting for Ou Yiran to answer, the auctioneer's passionate words resounded throughout the audience, and the auction hall that can accommodate 600 people was suddenly excited:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this wrong coin is the grand finale of our auction, and the wonderful error formation process and incredible mistake will surely arouse the infinite interest of collectors. The starting price of HK$15 million is the result of many thorough investigations. Interested collectors, please raise your noble hands and add a touch of color to this collection. The starting price is 15 million Hong Kong dollars, and each price increase is 1 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
Suddenly, no less than 50 collectors raised signs. This number instantly caused a sensation in the audience.
It also greatly surprised Ou Yiran and Yaliang's expectations. The number reported to them by the auction was more than 20 people.
Yun Lei almost jumped up in excitement. If it weren't for the two-yuan coin that year, she would have cheered loudly at this moment, even if she didn't jump up, to celebrate.
Although her worth has exceeded this figure by a hundredfold and a thousand, she is still very excited.
Because she knew how much money she had gotten for the wrong coin. That is, people often say that they have found a treasure and picked up a big leak.
This is the kind of situation that most arouses the nerves of excitement. I was even more excited than winning the Fucai jackpot.
The price quickly rose to 20 million, and soon to 30 million, followed by 40 million, and then exceeded 50 million.
By this time, a third of the participating collectors remained. Also, it's time for lunch.
"Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to see that this wrong coin has indeed lived up to expectations, and the price has exceeded 50 million Hong Kong dollars. Unfortunately, it's time to eat. For the sake of everyone's health, we will temporarily adjourn the meeting and resume bidding at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. ”
There was a buzz in the hall, and there were suggestions to wait until the auction of the wrong coin was over, but the vast majority of people complied with the auctioneer's arrangement.
Ou Yiran, Yun Lei and Ya Liang naturally wanted to complete the auction of the wrong coins in one go, but they had no choice but to follow the rules, so the auctioneer waved his hand and announced the adjournment in accordance with the rules.
The gathered collectors dispersed.
Ou Yiran, Yun Lei and Yaliang made an appointment with Mr. Jin and returned to the Victoria Hotel where they were staying for dinner.
During the banquet, Mr. Jin sighed and said, "Mr. Ou, why can't I understand the special value of this wrong coin?" ”
Ou Yiran and Yaliang glanced at each other and said with a smile: "You are the second largest shareholder of the Wrong Coin Museum, and it is normal that you can't understand it." In fact, even I, the largest shareholder, can't understand it! ”
Yaliang continued: "In my opinion, it should be the great curiosity of all collectors, and they are all famous and rich. In the same auction, it is natural that you are chasing after me and not giving in to each other. ”
"Isn't there anything else going on here?" Mr. Kim asked with a smile.
Ou Yiran's heart moved, and he asked, "Mr. Jin, do you have a different opinion?" ”
Mr. Jin wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with a smile: "This incredible mistake will give people a kind of infinite reverie, for example, how many disputes did your two-yuan coin cause back then?" ”
Ou Yiran raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a number to a letter, the process is so wonderful that people can't figure it out, what else can it be about?" ”
Mr. Jin sighed and used a poem to express his opinion: "Looking horizontally, the side of the ridge is a peak, and the distance and the height are different. I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. Perhaps, just like the artistic conception of this poem, everyone stands from a different angle and comes to a very different conclusion. Among them, I am afraid that some people will see more things. ”
"You're saying that, just like the two-dollar coin back then, the truth didn't come out until the end?"
"Let's see how the auction goes in the afternoon, will it exceed expectations?" Mr. Kim smiled meaningfully.
Yaliang asked, "In Mr. Jin's eyes, what price will this wrong coin go to?" ”
"To tell you the truth, the formation process of a single wrong point is wonderful, and this is the only one, 50 million has come to an end. However, looking at the enthusiasm in the auction hall, I can't stop it from looking at two or fifty million. ”
Yaliang and Ou Yiran glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Don't hide from Mr. Jin, hundreds of millions of yuan is our hope from beginning to end." We define value by virtue of the wonderful process of the formation of the wrong points. ”
Mr. Jin said: "If the result of the afternoon auction meets your expectations, it means that the collectors participating in the bidding are simply curious." But if it far exceeds expectations, it will be intriguing. ”
Yun Lei's heart moved, and said: "That two-yuan coin is because one of the characters is missing strokes, and this hundred-yuan coin is two more strokes on the digital watermark." One less and one more, will there be any connection between this? ”
Ou Yiran smiled: "The strangest aspect of the wrong coin is that the font has more or fewer strokes. This is the similarity between the two wrong coins. But in a sense, because of the special geographical location, the font has few strokes and is inevitably imagined by people with intentions. But this 100 yuan coin has two more watermarks, and I can't think of any meaning. ”
Mr. Jin smiled: "If you can't think of it, you won't want to." Why don't you wait and see the results in the afternoon? ”
After this meal, it was only half past one, and there was still some time before filming resumed.
Yun Lei proposed: "Why don't we go to the guest room to rest for a while, and at half past two, we will set off." ”
The three men agreed.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the auctioneer's rousing words resounded through the audience again: "Ladies and gentlemen, through a noon break, everyone must have recuperated their spirits, and they are all looking forward to whether this wrong coin will be unexpected." Now it's 51 million, what, please hold up your honorable number plate and perform a song passionately! ”
Hulala, the bidder's sign was raised, and suddenly there were more than a dozen more than at noon.
The auctioneer smiled happily: "It seems that the collectors are resting well, and it is really majestic." 52 million, and there are still Tibetan friends who have not increased the price? ”
Ou Yiran asked softly: "Mr. Jin, this situation is a bit strange, halfway through, one is prosperous, the other is declining, according to common sense, the number of people should be reduced, why is there more?" ”
"This shows that more people are starting to be interested in this wrong coin."
"Hehe, that's really puzzling."
The frenzied auction scene is no less than the heat of the summer outside.
In the passionate words of the auctioneer, the price exceeded 60 million and 70 million one after another.
At this time, the number of people who had increased in the afternoon suddenly stopped holding up their signs, as agreed. But the enthusiasm on the field has not diminished in the slightest.
The high-power central air conditioning makes the temperature in the entire auction hall quite pleasant.
Every bid of the auctioneer tightly affects the nerves of everyone in the field.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now it's 90 million yuan, 90 million yuan has come out, and this price has broken the previous record. 91 million yuan, and there are still Tibetan friends who have not increased the price? ”
At this moment, there are less than 10 bidders.
"Looking at this situation, it seems to be around 100 million yuan." Mr. Kim whispered.
"Fortunately, these are all pure collectors, and there is not a single scalper in them." Ou Yiran said.
"Look, another collector has dropped out of the bid." Yun Lei said.
"Ninety-five million Hong Kong dollars, and there are still Tibetan friends who have not increased the price?" Auctioneers' sentiments remain high.
This time only five people held up signs.
……
"Nine nine million yuan, are there any Tibetan friends who have raised the price?"
At the moment, there are only three collectors left.
"100 million Hong Kong dollars, 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and there are no Tibetan friends who have increased the price?" The auctioneer's heart also hung high, and he asked as he stared at the three bidders.
Fortunately, one collector hesitantly held up the sign, followed by another collector who also held up the sign.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a miracle that this wrong coin has broken the HK$100 million mark in this hot summer. Let's look forward to more exciting moments. 1100 million, and there are Tibetan friends who have not increased the price? ”
No one answered, and no one raised a sign.
But everyone's hearts hung high.
"1100 million, are there any Tibetan friends who have raised the price?" The auctioneer asked a second time.
The hesitant man slowly raised the sign.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Invariably, they looked at another collector.
But what everyone expected didn't happen.
"Tibetan friends who haven't bid yet?" The auctioneer began to count, "One, two, three, deal." Congratulations to this gentleman on his successful bid. "The auctioneer's hammer fell.
Wow, the audience erupted in fierce applause, which was no worse than the tide of the Qiantang River.
Ou Yiran and Yun Lei, Ya Liang and Mr. Jin all stood up and clapped vigorously.
Although the finale ended, it clearly stimulated the emotions of collectors. The craze for participating in the auction is getting higher and higher.
Until the break at half past five in the afternoon, five more different types of wrong coins were auctioned.
That night, Mr. Jin did not return to Macau, but held a small celebration banquet with Ou Yiran, Yun Lei, and Yaliang.
Sitting on the observation deck of the hotel, sipping fine wine, overlooking the splendid and pleasing scenery of Victoria Harbour, it is dreamlike and picturesque.
"After three years, another wrong coin of more than 100 million yuan has been sold, will it once again ignite the enthusiasm of collectors?" Ou Yiran said.
"This auction, in terms of scale and influence, is far greater than the one three years ago. This time, it ignited the enthusiasm of international collectors. Mr. Kim laughed.
"In the current market, in the context of mobile payments and the introduction of digital currencies, people are gradually no longer using cash, so the possibility of finding wrong coins is greatly reduced. If there are fewer sources, the wrong currency will inevitably rise. The wrong coins of some fine products may take advantage of this momentum and break out into a wave of rapid rise. ”
Ou Yiran nodded and said: "Therefore, it is necessary for us to stock up on some high-quality products to meet the upcoming big market." ”
