Chapter 214 Auction
There is a very large venue on the eighth floor of the hotel, where the auction will be held. After Jiang Zhenzhen finished eating, she saw that the time was almost up, so she went downstairs to prepare for admission.
When the elevator stopped on the eighth floor and the elevator door had not yet opened, Jiang Zhenzhen took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it, adjusted her state to the best, and then walked out of the elevator.
The auction has been building momentum for a long time, and this auction not only has Jiang Zhenzhen's pearl necklace, but also many jewelry, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., which have been previewed before, so it has attracted many people from all over the world who are interested in this auction.
Before Jiang Zhenzhen entered the venue, she saw many foreigners with different hair colors.
After taking out the invitation letter and entering the venue, Jiang Zhenzhen came to her place and sat down, there was a sign in her hand, which was a small sign specially used for auctioning cards, each sign had a number written on it, that number represented herself, as long as she liked which lot, she could directly raise the sign and increase the price.
Of course, if you auction the lot and you can't come up with that much money to take it away, you will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, and you may even be rejected by this auction house forever.
In front of all the seats, there is a platform with big white lights all around. With such abundant light, the lot can be better displayed.
Jiang Zhenzhen waited in her seat for almost half an hour, and after watching the seats in the entire venue make a seven, seven, eight, eight
Next, the auctioneer will introduce the items to be auctioned one by one, and for each item to be auctioned, they will read out information about the condition, such as the name, history, starting price, estimated price, and at least how much to increase the price each time.
Interested bidders will bid on the lot, and these people will gradually increase the price increase according to the predetermined amount.
If there are multiple bidders bidding, the auctioneer will gradually increase the price until the highest price is reached.
When bidding pauses for a moment, the auctioneer asks three times, "Who is still bidding?" If no one continues to increase the bid, the auctioneer will hammer the hammer to announce the end of the bidding.
Then the final price of the lot is set.
Auction is an extreme psychological contest between people, some people are unwilling to admit defeat, then they will suffer a big loss, and some people are too cautious, they will not be able to auction their favorite items.
In addition to very large financial resources, people who participate in the auction must also have good psychological quality.
The first thing to be auctioned at the auction was jewelry, and at the beginning, Jiang Zhenzhen could still quietly enjoy the lots, each piece of jewelry was so beautiful and shining in the light.
However, when the auctioneer announced that the next lot would be a pearl necklace, Jiang Zhenzhen's breathing stopped, and her heart suddenly lifted.
The auctioneer began to introduce the pearl necklace – a collection of fifty wild saltwater pearls, each of the same diameter and in perfect condition. The sapphire for the lock is a five-carat Kashmir sapphire and is unburned. The pendant is set with one hundred and two broken diamonds, and the center stone is a pear-shaped wild pearl with perfect symmetry on the left and right, which is one of the largest and most perfect pear-shaped pearls in the world.
Finally, the auctioneer introduced that this necklace was designed by the famous designer He Yingrui of Xingang. The estimated price is 7 million yuan, the starting price is 5 million, and the increase is 100,000 yuan.
Soon, the auction began.
The auctioneer raised his hand: "Thirty-two, five million." Number 16, 5,100,000 ......"
Suddenly, a man suddenly held up a sign and said, "Five and a half million." ”
The auctioneer offered: "No. 7, five and a half million." ”
Oh my God, five and a half million! Jiang Zhenzhen felt that her heartbeat stopped, she didn't expect the price increase to be so fast, this is 500,000 more than the auction price!
Then someone shouted again: "No. 18, five million six million." ”
The auctioneer offered: "Five million six hundred thousand." Who is still bidding? ”
Number Seven bids again: "Six million!" ”
Jiang Zhenzhen was overjoyed, this is six million!
However, after the figure of six million came out, no one offered it for a while. Jiang Zhenzhen couldn't help but think of the auctioneer just now who said that the estimated price was seven million, seven million things, is it a bit of a loss to sell it for six million?
On this occasion, it was difficult for Jiang Zhenzhen not to be a little greedy, and she was even considering whether to play a card to push the price up again.
Jiang Zhenzhen clenched her fists with the greatest strength, and the pain of her nails stuck in her flesh pulled her reason back.
It's really simple to raise a card, but what if there is no further price increase in the future? Then this necklace not only can't be sold, but it will have to pay a compensation to the auction house at that time, which is really worth the loss.
In fact, six million is already very good, with this money, she will be able to buy a big villa in Xingang! Of course, the villa is just thinking about it, and you definitely can't invest all your money in the house.
In less than a minute, Jiang Zhenzhen's mind went around with all kinds of thoughts, and just when she had already accepted six million, a person's voice suddenly appeared in the venue, saying, "Seven million." ”
This person said it in English, and Jiang Zhenzhen still waited for the auctioneer to quote before she knew that this person was shouting seven million.
Oh my God, it's really seven million!
Jiang Zhenzhen couldn't help but think, so much money was suddenly given to her, except for buying a house, she really didn't think of how to spend the rest of the money for a while!
She noticed that the foreigner was an old man with a white beard and white hair, and although he was young and older, Jiang Zhenzhen still thought he was very handsome! People who are willing to pay a lot of money for her pearl necklaces are handsome!
What made Jiang Zhenzhen happy was still behind, and a foreign lady who looked particularly rich and elegant next to the white-bearded old man also raised a sign, and she shouted a high price of 7.5 million.
The estimated price of the pearl necklace was 7 million, and now it is more than 500,000.
In other words, if the price is increased further, it will be a loss.
But the white-bearded old man did not give up, and increased to 7.6 million. The lady seemed to be on a par with the old man with the white beard, and she added it to eight million.
Are these two people angry? Jiang Zhenzhen began to worry that the two of them were shouting indiscriminately, but they couldn't get it out when they finally gave the money. In that case, the necklace will be auctioned, and I don't know what price it will sell for the next auction.
The key is that Jiang Zhenzhen wants to get the money earlier.
Fortunately, the white-bearded old man in the back probably admitted defeat and did not continue to increase the price, and the final price of this pearl necklace was fixed at eight million.
From the auctioneer asking "who wants to bid" three times, it was not until the small dark brown hammer was knocked down that Jiang Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to breathe normally.
