Chapter 195: What style does the old man like?
Even after the auction ended, it was already late at night, but the news of the appearance of high-grade glass still spread throughout Yangzhou City like wings!
Before dawn, someone approached Liu Hongzhou and wanted to buy the Guanyin at a higher price!
Just as the old steward of the auction house thought, such a translucent and non-variegated glaze, although the style and craftsmanship are not top-notch, but they are exquisite enough, and the defects in the process are not worth mentioning in front of the top quality of the glaze!
Such a treasure should be a good momentum, publicity for ten days and half a month, it is considered a contempt, the owner is so hurried, it is really unwise!
But for Zhao Hengyi, how much money can a piece of glass sell for, there is really nothing to play with, after all, it is all made of sand.
What he cares about is how to let the rich people in Yangzhou City know in the shortest possible time that there must be top-notch glass products for sale, and at present, his goal has been achieved.
The appearance of the glazed goddess of mercy proves that the glazed pagoda to be sold is of high quality, and fundamentally dispels the doubts of many people.
And no matter how the auction house warms up, it can't compare to the real thing and taking out a finished product for everyone to see.
In three days, Liu Hongzhou spent 48,000 taels of silver to shoot the gift of Guanyin, and someone had already come to the door to buy it at a price of 100,000 taels, but was told that the gift of Guanyin had been bought by an unknown nobleman.
As for the price of Liu Hongzhou's resale, no one knows, but Liu Hongzhou, a trench merchant who is also somewhat famous in Yangzhou City, has not talked about Liuli Guanyin since then, which has triggered countless reveries.
Moreover, Liu Hongzhou's breaking of the rules at the auction that night also gave the auction house a wake-up call.
Ordinary treasures may not be in a mess, but when real rare treasures appear, it is inevitable that some people will forget the rules because of impatience.
On the day of the auction, the auction house chartered the famous Songhe Tower in Yangzhou City, this restaurant on the enjoyment of consumption, originally could only be ranked in the middle of the top restaurant in Yangzhou, but his place is large, up and down three floors, and there is a yard, if you really stuff it inside, I am afraid that the main building can be stuffed with thousands of people!
Even so, on the day the auction began, the Songhe Tower was still full, and among the other annex buildings, all of them were used to house the attendants of the VIPs, and those who were qualified to participate in the auction filled the three-story main building!
The owner of the auction house was even present in person, sitting on the side of the booth, such a grand occasion, even a person with deep roots like him has never seen it, so he naturally does not want to miss it.
An auction of this magnitude, even if it is prepared in a hurry, cannot be an auction of just one item.
At eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the auction officially began, and a piece of good lots in the past were sent to the booth.
Although the time is a little tight, but the auction house is still quite well prepared, although it is used to warm up the lot, but it still attracts a lot of exclamations, but there will be no embarrassment of unsuccessful auctions, after all, these treasures are also carefully selected, not to mention, there are so many people who come, there are only a few people who really have the strength to compete for the glass pagoda that has not yet appeared.
Those who dare to come to Songhe Tower today must be worth a lot of money, but nine out of nine people are not qualified to compete for the glazed pagoda, they also have self-knowledge, and what they want is to witness the face of a peerless treasure!
As everyone knows today, Concubine Chen's favorite is the half-foot-high glazed crane ornament that can be refracted in the sun, and it is said that the crane is like a god under the colorful halo!
It can be said to be so amazing, how big is half a foot high?
According to the conversion of the length unit of later generations, one foot is thirty-three centimeters, half a foot high, and it is less than twenty centimeters when it reaches the sky!
In later generations, the 20-centimeter-high glass ornaments are afraid that they will be commonplace.
Yesterday, there were rumors that came out of the auction house, saying that the glazed pagoda in this auction has a total of 36 floors, nearly a foot high!
In other words, if the rumors are true, then the glass pagoda to be auctioned today is a more precious treasure than Concubine Chen's heart!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it was the treasure of the time!
The street where the Songhe Tower is located was closed at noon yesterday, and the idlers were not allowed to enter.
Today's Songhe Tower, not to mention the extremely fierce guards guarding, is on the street, there are three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post!
I have to say that in this hurry, the auction line has done a lot of work for the glazed pagoda.
Zhao Hengyi, the traitor, can't even mix a chair on the Songhe Tower, you can imagine how many top rich people have gathered in the Songhe Tower, which has one-third of the faces!
By the way, the shopkeeper of Hengtong Trading, who personally followed Zhao Hengyi to Yangzhou the day before yesterday, specially mentioned that Lu Guogong, the father of the county owner, also sent someone to Yangzhou to participate in the auction, and was persuaded by the shopkeeper Liu to go back......
This special meow, fortunately, I was persuaded to go back, otherwise I really let Lu Guogong bid for the glazed pagoda, and when I mention it in the future, how can I get to Wei Linglan's house?
Ahem, it's all business, it's all friends, it's not a big deal, the main thing is that friendship can't be broken!
Wei Linglan's father, that is my Zhao Hengyi's elder, I think I Zhao Hengyi cares about this kind of network relationship the most, and I must find a way to maintain it, and when the matter in Yangzhou is over, I must send a glass product that can be put on the table to Lu Guogong's old man...... By the way, what style does the old man like?
As the hot treasures were auctioned off, at about 11 o'clock in the morning, the much-anticipated finale of the glass pagoda finally took the stage!
Six servants with big shoulders and round waists carefully carried a wooden box made of sandalwood, which was also covered with red satin, and without knowing it, they would mistakenly think that it was a dowry for their daughter.
The auction house is well aware of the psychology of everyone, and did not open the wooden box at the first time, but directly sent someone to climb the roof of the Songhe Tower and remove the tiles facing the booth one by one......
The golden sunlight shone down through the hole in the roof and turned into a golden pillar of light, which shrouded the wooden box just in it!
Under the booth, everyone's breathing couldn't help but tighten!
Zhao Hengyi couldn't help but applaud the people in the auction house, this marketing method is beautiful!
The red silk was unraveled, the wooden box was carefully opened, and a glazed pagoda nearly thirty centimeters high and thirty-six layers appeared in the golden pillar of light!
