Superspace WeChat

Chapter 177 A skinny camel is bigger than a horse?

Li Dacheng looked at the silent Zijin Hall, and was immediately happy. Are these more than 200 people here to be funny?The discussion before was so lively, why did everyone stop cooking when it came time to get serious?Those collectors, guests, investors, big money, local tyrants, all of them were full of momentum when they came, shouting and hugging, carrying the wind and rain, why are they all dumb now?Could it be... Could it be that other than him, there is someone else who has a super WeChat and took a photo at this moment?
Li Dacheng quickly stretched his neck and looked around, and found that there were quite a lot of people just like him, turning their heads to look around. Li Dacheng was relieved at once. It seemed that he was thinking too much. After all, if everyone had it, the world would still Don't mess around anymore?
But here's where it gets interesting.

Since time has not stopped, why is the auction venue so quiet?Why didn't anyone ask for a price?Isn't the auction supposed to raise signs one after another, and bid one after another, just like a battlefield?But now, are they all here to watch the excitement?Emphasis on participation?
Is it possible that the first auction will fail?Then this joke is a bit too big.

Even if Li Dacheng is a layman, he is very clear that under normal circumstances, at the beginning of the auction, some items whose reserve price is seriously lower than the value of the treasure itself will be put up for auction. off to a good start.But under such circumstances, no one cares about this blue and white dragon and phoenix bowl made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which is seriously below the actual value. Isn’t this a big joke?If this atmosphere can't be broken and continues, then the Jiade Auction House will definitely become a big joke in the world's auction world.

Porcelain should be Jiade's forte. If even this can't beat nostalgia, then what's the point of holding this auction?

Seeing Dina who took out the lot and now stood on the stage with an embarrassed face, Li Dacheng was very happy. If the environment did not allow him, he would have the heart to beat the gongs and drums. Of course, in order not to be seen When he came out, he put on a gloomy look on his face, trembling all over his body, he was actually holding back, and those who didn't know would definitely think it was anger.

Standing behind the auction table, Wu Changyuan, the general manager of Jiade Auction House, was already sweating. Although he knew that Huaigu Auction Company had many treasures, today's auction would not be easy, but he didn't expect that on the first lot, there would be Encountered such a big trouble, because this blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern bowl of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty was in his own private collection. Under such circumstances, no one is asking for a price. Could it be that these collectors in the dojo are blind today?Bad start, really bad start.

"This blue-and-white bowl with dragon and phoenix patterns uses the dot-dyeing technique in the blue-and-white painting method of the Ming Dynasty. The painting is smooth and delicate, and the glaze is even and moist. It is really a fine product in the Qianlong official kiln. The reserve price of [-] is definitely low. Don’t you think so?” Wu Changyuan pointed to the huge picture displayed on the big screen, and introduced it to many people in Zijin Hall, hoping to stimulate the audience’s bidding. people.

"12."

As soon as Wu Changyuan's words fell, someone in the audience raised the sign high and shouted loudly.

Li Dacheng looked over, and his eyes fell on a middle-aged man in the middle. There was nothing unusual about this man, but Li Dacheng noticed that this man had eye contact with Dina on the stage.

babysitter?

Are there babysitters at the auction?

Li Dacheng was not stupid. Although it was his first time participating in the auction and he didn't understand the rules of the auction, he could tell immediately from the eye contact between Dina and the middle-aged man holding the placard.Even if this middle-aged man is not a child care worker, he is definitely Dina's guest in bed. In short, he must have some unknown relationship with Dina.

"13."

"15."

Sure enough, after someone shouted the price, the scene immediately became lively, and the price shouted continuously.

There is a set!

After seeing it, Li Dacheng thought to himself, it seems that Jiade has made a lot of preparations in order to deal with Huaigu's full lineup of treasures. Think about it, Jiade is also one of the largest auction houses in the country, and has rich auction experience. experienced?Must be fully prepared.

Originally, Li Dacheng was waiting to see the joke about the failure of the first lot, but now it seems that he was being innocent.Sure enough, everything has ghosts.

"35."

"40 million..."

After numerous biddings, the dragon and phoenix pattern bowl, which originally had a base price of 40 yuan, quickly rose to 40 yuan, and finally stopped at the price of [-] yuan.

"40. Mr. No. 088 offered 40. Has anyone else offered a higher price?" Wu Changyuan looked at the audience for a while and saw that no one was raising his sign again. He had to say, "40 for the first time, 40." Wan the second time..." At this time, Wu Changyuan was very distressed. At the beginning, someone bought his dragon and phoenix bowl for 60 yuan, but he refused to sell it. Unexpectedly, if he shouted 40 yuan today, no one would ask for the price anymore. With a full 20, his heart is bleeding. "40 for the third time, deal."

when!
The hammer fell heavily on the hammer pad. Although Wu Changyuan had a smile on his face, his heart was bleeding.What happened today?Could it be that these more than 200 people came to smash the place to pick up the leaks?Make it a local stall here?

"Congratulations to Mr. No. 88 for this blue and white bowl with dragon and phoenix patterns made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty." Wu Changyuan raised his hands and took the lead in applauding.

clap... clap...

The applause from the audience was pattering, not only not enthusiastic, but even a bit desolate.It's too embarrassing to dig out the face.However, at any rate, the first lot was sold, if the auction fails, it will be embarrassing.

The corners of Wu Changyuan's mouth trembled. After sorting out his mood, he continued, "Now let's look at the second lot... a blue and white vase with cloud, dragon and sea patterns from the Qianlong period."

Li Dacheng looked at the huge photo on the screen. No wonder Ye Jin told him that Jiade Auction House has a lot of high-quality porcelain. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. It was such a high-quality porcelain from the beginning.

"Blue and white cloud dragon sea water pattern bottle, painted with a cloud dragon picture on the belly, long eyes wide open, dragon hair raised, five sharp claws, dragon scales are neat, lifelike, ready to come out, there are sea wave patterns on the bottom, sea water tumbling, one after another, blue and white seal script at the bottom' Made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the six-character inscription has a solid bottom and a regular shape. It is a fine product among the blue and white vases..."

While describing, Dina pushed the second lot onto the stage.

"The reserve price is 50..."

The reserve price of the first piece is 50, and the reserve price of the second piece is [-]?Shouldn't the auction be gradual and incremental, with higher prices going forward?Is the difference too big?
Li Dacheng hurriedly opened the album that he received before coming to the venue today. Since he had seen the catalog of items delivered by Jiade Auction House before, he didn't care about it. Looking at the scene now, he immediately felt that there were not many items in Jiade's auction. Increase, but it seems that a lot of thought has been put into the auction process, and I don't know what the devil is doing.

Li Dacheng looked at the order of the auction items, and the ones placed at the front were all porcelain. It seems that Jiade is very clear that he can't compete with nostalgia in terms of calligraphy, painting and jewelry, so he put the porcelain with obvious advantages at the top, using this method to attract the audience. The eyes of these bidders, wait until the atmosphere of the scene is aroused and the emotions of the bidders are aroused, and then the auction of other treasures will be carried out. At that time, everyone's emotions will be ignited, and maybe there will be a situation of red faces. .

I have to say that Jiade's wishful thinking was well planned. Although there are certain risks in doing so, the overall price of porcelain may be greatly dragged down because of the unknown situation at the beginning, but from the overall situation of the auction, this risk is absolute. It's worth taking the risk, otherwise in the competition with Huaigu, he will definitely lose.Once the plan is successful, at least it can save some face, and it won't lose too badly.

"55 million!"

"58 million!"

After the first round of desertion, the second round of auctions gradually began to enter the formality, and some bidders who had prepared before began to bid for the items they wanted.

Since both Jiade and Huaigu have previewed the items before the auction, everyone has a certain degree of understanding of the items in these two auction houses, so that they can choose their own items. Bid on your favorite items.Everyone knows that Huaigu has treasures in calligraphy, painting and jewelry, so those who are interested in porcelain will focus all their attention on the Jiade auction where porcelain is more brilliant.

"80. Ms. No. 34 goes out to 80, 80 for the first time, 80 for the second time, 80 for the third time, deal."

when!
"Congratulations to Ms. 34."

As expected of an old oily person in the auction field, Wu Changyuan kept talking to adjust the atmosphere of the scene. Soon, the auction returned to normal, and the deserted situation was no longer present. One piece of porcelain was sold, making the entire auction scene The atmosphere became heated up.

"Now, let's look at collection No.30 No. [-], Wu Changshuo's painting of flowers, trees, narcissus and peonies, hanging scroll."

Wu Changshuo?
Li Dacheng was slightly taken aback when he heard it. He was very familiar with this name, because among the treasures he entrusted to Ye Jin, there was a calligraphy couplet by Wu Changshuo, and according to Ye Jin's evaluation, the painting was worth at least several million yuan. Above, while the auction reserve price is 500 million.A few words are worth millions, and now a painting appears, so what?
Damn, Jiade was not given for nothing, and he was able to get Wu Changshuo's painting, which was not in the previous auction album.

Could it be that Jiade is going to fight back?
