Chapter 633: Smooth Logic
Lin Wanqiu was a little nervous. This was the most valuable thing in her private collection. She brought it to the country with the thought of "reluctant to bear the child but not the wolf". As the first lot to be put on the market that made the name of the company, she did not expect that it would be
Such a reaction.
You must know that she bought this thing from an auction on Hong Kong Island. It cost 50,000 at the time, but it was not Hong Kong dollars, but pounds.
He took a breath to calm his emotions: "This artifact was first collected by the federal justice of the peace, Jon Ken III, and was exhibited in "Imperial in of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong". It was later purchased by the Zhao Chongyan family and later sold in Hong Kong in 1986.
Island Sotheby's, No. 62, purchased by our museum. Is there any bidder?"
The discussion below became louder, but there was still no bidder.
The joints of Lin Wanqiu's hand holding the handle of the auction mallet were a little white. She didn't expect that when she took out such a beautiful and heavy weapon, she didn't get an enthusiastic response. This was very different from the heated response during the auction on Hong Kong Island.
"Do you have any bids?"
If you ask again, the auction will be rejected. No one bids for the first auction, and the auction can basically be considered over.
In the crowd, a young man with a handsome temperament and a military temperament finally raised the sign.
"No. 14, guest No. 14, bid fifty-five thousand yuan!" At this moment, Lin Wanqiu felt that the young man was simply the light sent by God to save her. However, when she saw the young man next to him, she immediately understood
Who really saved her?
Zhou Zhi was next to Jiang Wu, who was holding a sign, and gave her an encouraging smile.
"Um."
But that was also the market price of ordinary goods in cultural relics stores, and it was not a pick-up that Zhou Zhi had purchased for a long time. But now it was an auction, and the items being auctioned were still high-quality porcelain made by the imperial porcelain of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand! Mr. Zhou bids three hundred and fifty thousand on the 14th. Consul Jeffrey, do you still want to bid?"
Zhou Zhi is not short of money now, and his psychological price for this rose tripod is 500,000.
"This thing is overpriced."
"Wow..." Warm applause suddenly erupted in the hall.
"No. 2 Director Zhang, sixty-five thousand yuan!"
…
While the two were talking, Zhou Zhi raised his cards a few more times.
"Oh, how are you sure this is going to be in the newspapers?"
"What else is there?" asked Director Zhang.
On the other side, Zhou Zhi took the auction card from Jiang Wu: "Thank you, Brother Wu, I will do the rest."
"Is that so? Come on, let's wait for the first few items..."
Coupled with Manager Lin's special calm temperament and his clear introduction to the inheritance of this exhibit, some people finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Didn't you say that this appeared at Christie's? Fifty thousand pounds, isn't it worth more than half a million pounds?"
And he was accompanied by a consultant who was specially hired by Director Zhang to explain and introduce the value of the auction items for him.
Now the bidding for the first lot has exceeded 300,000 yuan, which has exceeded the highest price of the auction at the National Heritage Store. There is no doubt that this matter will be mentioned in the news tomorrow.
Lin Wanqiu completely relaxed, which could be seen from the relaxation of her body and the relaxed tone of her voice. The right hand holding the pen kept raising it in line with the buyer's offer, and then recorded the bidding process in detail, seemingly casually.
"No. 2 Director Zhang, two hundred and fifty-five thousand yuan!"
Although this imitation Jun kiln tripod was bought for more than 50,000 pounds, after taking into account the two major factors of appreciation and inflation over the years, the figure of 300,000 pounds is actually a loss.
An hour or two ago, there was a rumor that a fake was found at the exhibition. Soon, careful people discovered that the three-color pot with a phoenix head that had been sent to the exhibition by Gan Province had disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the bidding became fierce, and the price of the porcelain tripod soared to over 160,000 yuan.
Jun kiln wares, especially Jun kiln wares decorated in red, are really difficult to obtain to the extreme. Although this Yongzheng imitation does not imitate Song wares in all aspects, it only achieves the effect in shape and color, and is perfect in appearance.
It's very rare.
However, as the first auction hosted by a private company that could compete in the country, Lin Wanqiu had a simple idea. As long as this item could successfully sell for over 250,000 yuan, the auction hosted by the National Cultural Relics Store a few months ago
In the context of failure, it is already a remarkable success.
"Mr. Jiang, two hundred and sixty-five thousand yuan!"
"Also, this child was brought by Mr. Wang. He made a bid. Do we have to give Mr. Wang some face?"
"No. 7 Mr. Li, 60,000 yuan!"
"This matter may be published in the newspapers tomorrow. It would be a bad idea for people in your system to mention you."
"That's it...I quite like this thing..."
There were still not many people who could spend hundreds of thousands at a time to buy a piece of porcelain and take it home. The bidding soon reached 250,000, and then only two or three people were left.
"Three hundred thousand! Mr. Jiang bids three hundred thousand on the 14th!"
…
The young man is not important, but Mr. Wang behind the young man is important.
"That's right. Of course the thing is a good thing, and it may and should appreciate in value in the future. I'm just saying that it has passed its price now." The consultant's wording was very cautious: "And..."
The blond foreigner shook his head, turned to Zhou Zhi and shrugged, then smiled and raised his hand slightly, indicating that I gave this utensil to you.
"Mr. Jiang on the 14th, 75,000 yuan!"
Director Zhang himself does not understand literature and entertainment, but as the boss of a cultural company, his intuition tells him that the porcelain he is currently photographing is a good thing.
"Why?"
"Because the current price has already broken the domestic record for the highest price of similar items."
This Yongzheng imitation Jun kiln is indeed a rare return product. The large area of rose red, rose purple and pepper red marks the rarity and nobility of the kiln at that time.
"Director Zhang, why don't we just forget about this."
Among the collections from Zhou Dynasty to the present, among the five famous porcelains from the Song Dynasty, only Jun kiln has not been found.
"The rose purple imitation Jun kiln three-legged tripod made by Yongzheng imperial kiln in the Qing Dynasty, 350,000 once, 350,000 the second time... 350,000, deal!" Lin Wanqiu knocked the gavel: "Congratulations on the 14th
Mr. Zhou! At the same time, I would like to tell everyone that this lot has just set the highest record for domestic porcelain auctions. Everyone has become a witness to history. Congratulations again to Mr. Zhou on the 14th!"
"Consul Jeffrey, two hundred and sixty thousand yuan!"
"That's the price in Hong Kong Island. In the Mainland, it has to be divided by at least five percent."
"Ah? Why?"
This seems to support the saying that "there are fakes at auctions" from one aspect, making everyone more cautious.
"No. 5, Consul Jeffrey, 70,000 yuan!"
"Is this broken?"
There was a little commotion at the venue. Just as many people had noticed the phoenix-headed pot, many people had also noticed Zhou Zhi. Mr. Wang always called out to the young man beside him.
For general things, according to the auction price at foreign auctions, divided by five to ten, it is almost the domestic market price.
While the two were talking and raising signs, the price continued to soar, and every bid started to attract cheers and applause from everyone in the hall.
At this point, the atmosphere was completely hyped up, and the subsequent auction items began to return to normal, and the prices of the auction items were obviously much higher than the prices in the cultural and toy stores.
Firstly, these items are indeed more exquisite than those found in art and antiques stores. Many items will make you feel that if you miss them, you will regret them in the future.
Secondly, everyone's psychology came back. No matter who the child who won the first auction was, it was Mr. Wang who brought it. This statement has become a private rumor in the auction.
Who is Mr. Wang? A member of the Board of Directors of the National Appraisal Committee. If it is as everyone has rumored before, will this kid take action?
There is another strange thing. Children can have hundreds of thousands? Isn’t that nonsense? There is only one possibility. The old man is training the younger generation and training his psychology.
