golden escape

"Today's first auction is the Qing Dynasty Qianlong famille rose gold lotus bowl and plate. The diameter of the bowl is 14 centimeters, and the diameter of the plate is [-] centimeters. Everyone, please look at the big screen. The glaze color of this lotus is blue and red, and there are gold patterns around it. The base price is [-], and the price will increase each time It must not be less than [-]..." The auctioneer pointed to a super large LCD screen on the right and said that at this time, the clear appearance of the lotus plate with pastel enamel painting and various materials appeared on the screen.

With the development of modern technology and the possibility that most of the items in antiques are fragile, most antique auctions have canceled the physical booths and replaced them with electronic booths. The pictures on the big screen are completely taken in kind, allowing people People can clearly see all the details, so that the auction can be held in a safe and fast environment.

"23, this gentleman bid 23, is there any... this lady bids 26..." The auctioneer on the stage looked around and nervously quoted the price.

Although he experienced the spectacular scene of a single item exceeding 7000 million in the last auction, the auctioneer did not relax in the face of this small 10,000+ lot, and his whole nerves were in a tense state to deal with Unexpected bids.

Sitting on the seat, Fang You looked at the lifelike lotus plate with pastel painted gold on the auction leaflet placed on the table, and couldn't help smiling. Pastel porcelain is a famous traditional Jingdezhen porcelain that is as famous as blue and white porcelain.

Its main feature is the soft color, which is full of the style of Chinese painting. It can be said that it is full of colorful porcelain, showing the simple and simple atmosphere of Chinese painting.

Pastel was mainly created and fired in the late Kangxi period, and has been popular since then. This porcelain with the flavor of traditional Chinese painting is sometimes more popular than blue and white porcelain.

"This gentleman bid 50 yuan. Is there any higher price? 50 yuan is the last time to make a deal." The auctioneer made a final decision with a smile on his face. The competition for the first lot was not very fierce, but the price also doubled. twice as much.

Compared with the Jade Auction, this Antique Auction lacks the sense of tension. Jade is finished products, and there is no need to worry about sales. Moreover, high-quality Jadeite materials have always been the objects that major jewelry companies are eager to snap up. It can be known from the auctioneer's uninterrupted bidding last time and the fact that none of the jadeites failed to be sold.

They bid directly without thinking at all, even if they pay a little, they still have to grab the jade. As for antiques, most people at the scene are very cautious. Most of the people who come to the antique auction are collecting antiques and waiting for their appreciation. Sometimes they don't care about profit margins at all.

Most of the jadeite is controlled by the major jewelry families. When it goes in, it is the raw material, and when it comes out, it becomes various jewelry pendants. The success of the jadeite auction is inevitable, just because the supply of jadeite raw materials exceeds the demand, and most of the antique auctions It is inevitable that all the auctions will fail.

How can these people take pictures of things that have no interest? Most of the real antique collectors enjoy the fun of Taobao in major antique cities. Those who come to the auction are all for the appreciation of their collections.

Of course, some antique lovers will spare no expense when they encounter something they really like.

As time goes by, pieces of exquisite antiques are constantly flashing on the big screen, most of which are porcelain, which shows how important porcelain occupied in the life and culture of ancient people.

"Lot No. 200 below, Ming Dynasty Jiajing Long Chuanwen Wenzhi lotus plate, dragon pattern is vivid, pattern lines are natural and smooth, large in shape, the base price is [-] million, and the price increase shall not be less than [-] each time."

"This gentleman bid 210 million, is there a higher price, 220 million..."

Originally, some people thought that Longyou Auction House would not be able to offer any good items for auction, but they did not expect that the first hundred or so items were all rare high-quality goods, and some of them were even sold by other auction houses. past boutique.

This can't help but make some people wonder, this Longyou Auction House is just a newly established company, how can it have such a great energy and be able to collect so many high-quality antiques.

However, there are also some people who feel a little bored. If it’s just these things, they feel that this trip is in vain. What they expect are extremely rare objects, but although the current objects are exquisite, they are not top-notch.

"Lot No. 120, this is a Jade Buddha carved by Mr. Li himself, the president of Tianhai Jade Association and the honorary president of China Jade Association. It has been around for 30 or [-] years, and it can barely be considered an antique, so it is put up for auction and mixed with some pocket money. Everyone must join in. This jade Buddha is made of high-quality Hetian jade, and there is an engraved signature of Mr. Li on the bottom. Please see it for details According to the information at the top of the screen, the base price of this jade article is [-], and each price increase should not be less than [-]."

The auctioneer said a little excitedly, he naturally knew Mr. Li as an authority in the jade world. When he came to the auction house to deliver the items last time, he had the honor to talk with the old man for a while, which can be said to have benefited a lot. , can be described as extremely broad.

Hearing the auctioneer's explanation, everyone looked at the screen. A pure white Jade Buddha exuding soft light was unfolding in front of their eyes. The work carved by Mr. Li was made 30 or [-] years ago. Significant, if you can take this opportunity to make friends with the old man, that would be even better. Immediately, everyone couldn't help it, and bid wildly one by one.

"This gentleman bid 30 yuan, this lady bid 40 yuan, there are... 45 yuan..." The auctioneer on the stage quoted the price extremely quickly. Although he was nervous, he didn't look in a hurry. At that time, he had experienced all the shocking scenes. For him, this scene was simply familiar to him.

Fang You looked at Dong Qilin with doubts on his face, "Hehe, Xiao You, I forgot to tell you, Mr. Li heard that we were going to hold an antique auction, so he brought a piece of jade he had carved before, and said I want to cheer us up, do you think I can reject Mr. Li?" Dong Qilin said with a peaceful smile.

Besides Mr. Chu, Mr. Li is his greatest mentor and helpful friend. Fang You couldn't help but sigh, and now he uses his own fame to add luster to his auction, and he doesn't care whether he will pollute him at all. Fang You couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

In the end, this piece of jade by Mr. Li was sold for 120 million yuan. This Hetian jade pendant reached this price not because of its own value, but because of Mr. Li's reputation. Sometimes a person's reputation is more valuable than his work itself , This is the celebrity effect.

Some uninformed people are speculating about the relationship between the boss of this auction house and Mr. Li. Mr. Li is not good at carving. For a newly established auction house, it was taken out at this small auction, which surprised them a little.

Mr. Li's jade pendant seemed to make the stagnant auction atmosphere a bit hot. The next dozens of lots, none of which were top-notch, were all sold at prices higher than the market price. The owners of the lots watching from the side couldn't help but smile. The newly established Longyou Auction House has an extremely low auction fee. They just came to try their luck, but they unexpectedly got a high price, which made their trust in Longyou Auction House even deeper.

The auction came to an end, and with the finale of Li Laoyu in the middle, most people were somewhat looking forward to what the next two mysterious finale items would be, and whether they would really make their trip worthwhile.

Some people are disappointed. If this auction is like this, it is really worthless for them to waste their time here. Even if they don’t come, they will not regret it for the rest of their lives. They only regret how they came to participate in this auction now. meeting.

The reason why they are unwilling to leave is that they are waiting for the two finale auctions. They really want to see what these two things are, so that they can make their trip worthwhile and regret it if they don’t come. For the rest of their lives, if these two things are just commonplace, then they will never participate in any auctions held by Longyou Auction House.

On Shen Gang's face, there was a confident smile. How could he be able to defeat his opponent with only these methods? These two finale auction items are absolutely extraordinary.

He smiled and looked at Fang You in front of him, thinking to himself, Fang You, I have allocated a large sum of money just for this auction of yours, don't let me have too much money to spend.

There were only the last two items left, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing. Everyone was looking forward to the auction platform and the big screen in anticipation, wanting to see how precious and precious the last two items were. Rare, able to keep secret from beginning to end.

The auctioneer on the stage showed an excited expression on his face. Even though he knew all the characteristics of these two things in his heart, the deep excitement in his heart could not be calmed from the beginning to the present. This item is so precious that it surpasses all the items he has auctioned in the past, even if it is glass jadeite, it is not as rare as these two items.

"Everyone, there are only the last two finale items left below. These two items have been shrouded in mystery from the beginning. I didn't even get the specific information until the moment before the auction started. What are these two items? , I can’t say it now, I’m afraid that the boss will deduct my money.”

The auctioneer said excitedly on the stage, the last funny words made the scene burst into laughter, and made the oppressive atmosphere easier, but following the auctioneer's words, the scene changed again. Everyone got nervous, and everyone had a look of anticipation on their faces.
