Chapter 548 The Butterfly Effect Again
Chapter 548 The Butterfly Effect Again
Bai Jieru also helped Wang Yu get an invitation card. As she is now the executive director of Yonghua Bank, it is not difficult.
Ou Jun's case is still ongoing, and the poison pill plan is also being planned, so in public places like auctions, Wang Yu still tries to avoid walking with Dong Xuan and the others.
Christie's (CHRISTIE'S, formerly translated as Christie's auction house) is one of the world's famous art auction houses.Its auctions bring together rare artworks, watches, jewellery, cars and fine wines from all over the world.
Generally speaking, Christie's mainly holds two auctions a year, which are the well-known Spring Auctions and Autumn Auctions.
In the past Christie's 2009 HK Spring Auctions, the total turnover was 10.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, achieving a 61% market share in Asia.
In this season’s HK Spring Auctions, there were a total of 1 lots, and more than 659% of the lots sold for more than the original high estimate, which fully demonstrated the global collectors’ appreciation for Asian art, exquisite watches, jewelry, top wines and other rare products. Hot pursuit.
The results of this auction reaffirmed that Hong Kong has become one of the world's major art markets.
There are also many regrets in the middle. For example, in the jewelry section, it is said that it is a special sale of magnificent jewelry and jadeite jewelry, but among the top ten lots, nine are diamonds.
This is obviously unsatisfactory for the local Chinese in Hong Kong, the Chinese in Southeast Asia, and some wealthy people from the mainland.
After all, since ancient times, the recognition of jade in the Chinese cultural circle is much higher than that of diamonds.
In view of this, Christie's specially launched this small-scale jade auction.
Originally, according to the normal process of Christie’s, there will be a series of publicity, exhibitions and other activities before the auction, but this time the situation is quite special. Most of the invited customers are old customers in the rich Chinese circle. preferences, so these tedious links are omitted.
The auction started at 01:30 in the afternoon, and at around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Wang Yu brought Song Qing into the auction venue.
With the invitation, I received the number plate numbered 37, and also got the brochure of the auction.
"Boss, do you really want me to raise my sign later?"
Song Qing was a little nervous: "I've seen such a scene in a movie, the kind where people just grab something and people refuse to let go."
Wang Yu looked down at the brochure he had just received, which showed exquisite photos of Mercedes-Benz auction items. The first half was nephrite jade, and the second half was jadeite jade.
Yes, in the cognition of Chinese culture, jade is divided into nephrite and hard jade.
Jadeite refers to jadeite, and nephrite jade covers a wide range, including glazed jade and Lantian jade, but it can only be Hetian jade that can be auctioned by Christie's.
Therefore, the items in this auction are Hetian jade and jadeite.
"I won't say stop later, you just keep going."
"what?"
"Do you like soft or hard?"
Song Qing poked her head over, looked at the booklet in Wang Yu's hand, and was immediately attracted.
"This good-looking!"
Her white fingers were pointing at the picture of a drop-shaped emerald pendant.
Wang Yu looked up at the middle of Song Qing's two collarbones, touched her chin and said, "Well, there is a missing pendant here."
While talking, more and more people came to the auction site, almost 100% of them were Chinese faces.
At 01:30, the auction started on time.
"Boss, Mr. Bai and Mr. Dong are in the third row in front."
Song Qing whispered into Wang Yu's ear, "The fourth and fifth from the left."
"Well, each shoots their own, you just pretend you didn't see them."
The first few items in the auction are all Hetian jade carvings, which are beautiful, but they can only be kept at home, so Wang Yu is not interested, but Song Qing, seeing such a scene for the first time, is a little excited.
"Next is the seventh item in this auction, the suet white jade Maitreya amulet. This item is 3.35cm long, 1.52cm wide, and 0.5cm thick. It is carved by Qian Guigen, a famous southern jade sculptor. The starting price is 8 Hong Kong dollars. Each price increase shall not be less than 1.”
In front of several large pieces worth tens of millions, a small pendant suddenly appeared, and it was a Maitreya amulet.
As the old saying goes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. As soon as this lot was released, it was immediately sought after by the female guests present.
"No. 16, 8 million!"
On the stage, the intellectual auctioneer with his hair tied up and dressed in a cheongsam tapped with a small hammer in his hand, signaling that someone had raised a card.
"No. 22, 9 million!"
"No. 28, 10 million!"
"."
At the beginning, the auctioneer shouted in a row, and people raised their placards one after another. The price quickly reached 16, which has doubled.
"Ms. 27, 16, is there any price increase?"
The auctioneer raised his voice slightly: "Ms. 27, 16, is there any price increase?"
This is the second time she has yelled.
Wang Yu said to Song Qing, "Hold the sign!"
"what?"
"Ah what, raise your sign!"
"Oh!"
Slightly flustered and excited, Song Qing raised the small sign in her hand.
"No. 37, 17 million!"
The auctioneer's voice was a little higher. Although there was still a warm smile on his face, his tone and voice were clearly suspected of being angry.
"No. 27, 18 million!"
"No. 37, 19 million!"
"No. 27, 20 million!"
"No. 37, 21 million!"
According to Wang Yu's previous instructions, they kept going until they stopped. Song Qing followed through very well.
"Ms. 37, 21, is there any price increase?"
This time the voice was louder, but the price was close to three times the starting price. Finally, after asking three times in a row, he rang the small hammer in his hand: "3, deal! Congratulations to Ms. 21 for winning the seventh item." Collection!"
Next, for nephrite jade, Wang Yu had no idea, but Song Qing would look at Wang Yu every time a piece of collection came out, as if hoping that her boss would say the word "raise a placard".
It's just that I haven't had enough of it yet.
With the release of No. 12 lots, it means that the climax of this auction is coming.
There were five or six in a row, and the competition was fierce. Even Bai Jieru and Dong Xuan in the front row raised their cards several times, but they didn't get their hands.
It's not that they don't have enough money, it's just that after they raise their cards, Song Qing will always raise their cards until there is no competition.
This posture greeted several gazes, Wang Yu and Song Qing, the strange faces, are menacing!
You must know that there was a "Jade Leaf" sculpture of Zhengyang green ice species just now. From the starting price of 50 yuan, it went all the way to 155 million yuan. Whenever someone raises a sign, the No. 37 sign will definitely follow. The must-win momentum overwhelmed all the wives and ladies.
"The next is one of the high-quality goods of this special sale: the emperor green glass variety of nothing, produced in Pagan Changkou, the lot size is 5.32cm long, 2.51cm wide, and 0.8cm thick. The starting price is 800 million Hong Kong dollars. Less than 20."
As the projection on the side showed this nothing happened card, the refreshing greenness made it hard to extricate oneself at a glance.
Wang Yu bought a pair of bracelets of this quality before, and spent 3000 million at that time.
Judging from the photos shown, it is also an old item, because its hemming has become pulpy.
"What are you dazed about?"
"Oh, oh!"
Song Qing withdrew her reluctant gaze: "Boss, this piece of jade is so beautiful!"
"Well, take a picture if it looks good!"
As soon as these words came out, Song Qing's eyes lit up.
Hehe, women, they have no resistance to shiny gems.
"Ms. 32, 800 million!"
With the auctioneer's first blow of the hammer, this piece of imperial green glass-type no-things card entered the bidding process.
"Ms. 21, 820 million!"
"Mr. 30, 840 million!"
"Mr. 28, 860 million!"
The price has been rising all the way, exceeding 1000 million in just a few minutes.
Song Qing's eyes moved with the ups and downs of the signs everywhere, and she had to look at Wang Yu from time to time, obviously waiting for his instructions.
When the price came to 1200 million, the rate of quotation slowed down.
At this time, there are only three companies still holding placards, a lady on the 21st, and two men on the 55th and 16th.
The three of them quarreled for another full minute, and the price came to 1 million.
"Men No. 16, 1400 million, is there any price increase?"
Accompanied by the loud voice of the auctioneer, no one followed for several seconds.
"Raise your sign!"
Wang Yu finally spoke.
"Ms. 37, 1420, is there any price increase?"
Seeing a new buyer raise his placard, and it was the number 37 that he had bitten and refused to let go before, the auctioneer's usual steady voice also carried a hint of joy.
"Men No. 16, 1440 million, is there any price increase?"
"Ms. 37, 1460, is there any price increase?"
After several entanglements, the price soon exceeded 1500 million.
Zhou Shaoyi originally thought that it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that number 37 would suddenly appear. Judging from the previous auctions, he was definitely a tough one.
He turned his head to look at Song Qing who was holding the placard, and by the way saw Wang Yu sitting beside him.
And Wang Yu also saw Zhou Shaoyi.
Hey, isn't it the third son of the Zhou family at the yacht dock yesterday?
It's not that enemies don't get together
Wang Yu touched his chin, feeling that HK is really small.
"Men No. 16, 1600 million!"
The auctioneer saw that he was holding up the number 16 sign five times in a row, indicating that the shopping was about to start, so he couldn't help raising his tone.
"Men No. 16, 1600 million, is there any price increase?"
"Ms. 37, 1620 million! Ms. 37, 1620 million!"
When the auctioneer saw that No. 37 had followed, the smile on his face became sweeter: "Is there any price increase?"
This time, it wasn't just Zhou Shaoyi, many people turned their attention to Song Qing, which made the girl nervous and excited.
No. 21, who had given up raising the placard before, also turned her head and looked at Song Qing.
But his eyes only stayed on her for half a second, and then shifted to Wang Yu's face next to him.
Wang Yu also saw her face, and suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"No way?"
He was stunned for a while.
"Is this the butterfly effect again?"
In Wang Yu's heart, there are ten thousand mud horses running by. He actually saw the young version of Guan Zhilin in 2009!
You must know that this beauty Guan was reborn in Wang Yu's previous life, but she was born in 1962, so she should be 47 years old now.
Looking at this face now, it looks like it is in its early twenties!
so rich?
Promised readers to add updates, but in the end 520 stayed at home and coded, so pitiful.
But still got the job done.
This chapter is half a chapter, but it can be regarded as a foreshadowing, Southeast Asia!
Combined with the current situation, in fact, in the author's outline concept, there is a part where the protagonist has penetrated into Southeast Asia, starting from the acquisition of Yonghua Bank.
There is not only a big market there, but also an important area for China and the United States to compete in the future. There will be a lot of content related to Southeast Asia in the future, which is an important part of this book.
Here, this Guan Zhilin is not that Guan Zhilin!
