Rebirth of the Wild Age

Around the mid-1980s, auction houses began to appear in mainland China.

But these are not real auction houses, but state-owned cultural relics companies (shops). Because private cultural relics trading was explicitly prohibited at that time, there were only more than 70 state-owned stores in the country that could sell them. The so-called "auction" is also not true to its name. The price of cultural relics is uniformly set by the government. The auction can only slightly fluctuate according to the fineness of the cultural relics.

Probably in 1993, the state-owned century-old store "Duo Yunxuan" established an auction company and held the first Chinese calligraphy and painting auction, which immediately attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. This auction was extremely successful, so other state-owned cultural relics stores have set up auction companies.

The State Administration of Cultural Relics proceeded along the way, and at the same time it took control, so there were six state-owned auction houses-so far there are only six, and the Administration of Cultural Relics no longer issues auction licenses.

It was not until next year that half of the six state-owned auction houses were operating poorly and were on the verge of bankruptcy. The Cultural Heritage Bureau issued licenses again, and several private auction companies sprang up all at once. One of them has also obtained the trademark authorization from the international giant Christie's, and is generally regarded as a "backdoor listing" by the international auction crocodile. Foreign capital is not allowed to engage in auction business in the mainland, and even capital injection is not allowed. That company has obtained the Christie's trademark authorization. It was also investigated and rectified.

Capital, Guardian International.

This is a state-owned auction company established in 1994. Except when it first opened, many people came to see it. Today, this auction is the most attended. The entire venue was full, and it was like a concert, and it was completely possible to make a lot of money by selling tickets.

"160,000 once, 160,000 twice, and 160,000 three times! Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully shooting Dean Shen Weifeng's work "Qian Kun Qing Qi"!"

There was a burst of sparse applause in the auction hall, and the middle-aged rich man who succeeded in bidding was just sitting on his seat with a smile on his face. The price of this painting is slightly high, but it will definitely not lose money if it is traded in a few years. The author Shen Weifeng is the dean of the Suzhou Academy of Painting. The works he created last year are hung in the **** Great Hall, and the works he created this year are hung in the ministerial conference room of the **** department.

"The next lot is "Shrimp Play" by Master Qi Baishi... the starting price is 150,000 yuan!"

There are too many works handed down by Qi Baishi, so auction prices fluctuate greatly, depending on the quality of the works. Fifteen years ago, a pair of Qi Baishi boutiques in Hong Kong City set an auction record of 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, but ordinary goods can be bought for tens of thousands of dollars.

On the mainland, the price of Qi Baishi's works has risen year by year, and now it has risen by about 180,000 yuan per square foot. Four years ago, the price per square foot was only 50,000 yuan. In a few years, it will rise to more than 1 million yuan per square foot.

If you are a traveler who has nothing to pursue, and you have a little money and not enough to buy a house, then invest in Qi Baishi's paintings. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to appreciate paintings and calligraphy. I go to auction houses to buy fine products. The value of this gadget has appreciated faster than real estate speculation. From 2000 to 2011, the price has doubled by 20 times in 11 years.

The main reason is that Qi Baishi is famous and well-known in China. Those collectors who get rich and want to play with art to enhance their taste, naturally prefer local masters like Qi Baishi (Western masters are too expensive), as long as they are genuine, they will rush to buy, so the price of Qi Baishi's works gets higher and higher —— Ranked third in the world's art sales list in 2009, and a set of exquisite works was sold at a sky-high price of more than 400 million.

The lot in front of me was about 1.5 square feet, from 150,000 to 350,000, and was bought by a local tyrant at a price far exceeding the average market price.

About an hour later, the auctioneer suddenly said: “Today’s last lot is quite special. Under the introduction of Mr. Hu Run, our Guardian auction house is fortunate to be commissioned by the richest man in Asia, Mr. Song Weiyang, to auction the “Song Weiyang Charity”. Qualifications for the dinner's invitation. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Hu Run to introduce the specific situation."

Hu Runchun walked to the front desk with a full face and took the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I’m Hu Run. Mr. Song Weiyang and I are good friends. A few years ago, I said to Mr. Song: “Buffett auctions charity lunch, you As the richest man in China, why not auction a charity dinner?” Mr. Song replied: “I’m too young and I have not enough qualifications. I have only been in business for a few years. I am afraid no one believes in my ability. :'Well, how about I'll help you make a charity dinner when you become the richest man in Asia?' Mr. Song agreed, and today's auction will be held."

"Papa Papa!"

The applause was the loudest this time, because at least half of the people present came to Song Weiyang's charity dinner. They don't necessarily participate in the auction, but they definitely watch the excitement with their heart, after all, this is a very new thing.

Hu Run went on to introduce: "Song Weiyang’s charity dinner was held in Mr. Song’s private courtyard in the capital. The invitees can choose to hide their names, and of course, they can also choose to disclose their identity. The dinner lasts an hour and a half. The moment when the courtyard starts to count, Mr. Song Weiyang will answer some basic questions. As for the auction proceeds, all the proceeds will be donated to the Youth Foundation to build Hope Primary Schools in poverty-stricken areas... The reporter friends present, if you have any questions, please come. Hurun Company interviewed me."

"Song Weiyang Charity Dinner, the starting price is 10,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 500...The auction begins!"

Buffett’s charity lunch started in 2000. No one responded in the first three years, and it just exceeded the starting price. It's about $20,000, and the lowest one is only $18,000. With such a small amount of money, you can sit and eat with Buffett.

This year's Buffett Charity Lunch only sold a "high price" of US$250,000.

Historically, Buffett’s charity lunch was fired up by the Chinese. Backgammon boss Duan Yongping took the lead in spending money and nearly doubled the price ($620,000) from the previous year, and then Zhao Danyang increased the price several times ($2.11 million). Since then, the price of this lunch has increased. The more expensive it is. It was mainly Zhao Danyang who recommended the company he holds shares to Buffett. Buffett said "think about it." The stock price of the company soared and Zhao Danyang made a profit of 130 million Hong Kong dollars.

These are all things to follow. At least in 2004, no one had driven the stock price because of having dinner with Buffett. Everyone's purpose is relatively simple, just want to ask Buffett some questions, and learn investment skills seriously.

"100,000!"

The Chinese are obviously more enthusiastic about this. The first bidder turned the reserve price of 10,000 into a sky-high price of 100,000.

"110,000!"

"140,000 8!"

"150,000 8!"

"160,000 8!"

"168,000!"

"180,000!"

"..."

The price of this dinner has gone up all the way, which surprised ordinary people who simply bought tickets to watch the excitement.

But the rich people think this is normal. They usually spend one hundred and eighty thousand banquets in banquets. Song Weiyang is now the richest man in Asia, what happened to spending hundreds of thousands to eat with him? I don’t even have a chance to do it at other times!

However, among the billionaires participating in the auction, there are not those big company bosses. It may be because the CEOs are more reserved and feel that participating in the auction is a shameful behavior; it may also be that the CEOs are more arrogant and think that Song Weiyang has nothing to teach them; or it may simply be that the CEOs are busy and do not want to waste on this kind of thing. time.

Those who bid the most vigorously, without exception, are the little rich people who are not well-known. They may have tens of millions of net worth, but they have various problems. I hope Song Weiyang can help them solve their doubts, or they hope to use Song Weiyang to make a name for themselves.

As for those who want to get along with Song Weiyang through dinner? Stop dreaming, it's just a meal. Who knows whom after the dinner!

"680,000!"

"68 million 8!"

"880,000!"

"1000000!"

When the bid of 1 million was called out, the whole audience turned their eyes to the past, and the atmosphere of the auction became extremely hot, but the continued bidders suddenly disappeared.

One million can already hire very high-level business consultants. If the boss has problems with business operations, there is no need to have a meal with Song Weiyang because of this. Song Weiyang can at best call a few words, and senior business consultants can play a bigger role. .

As for the guys who want to pretend to be famous, 1 million is almost at their bottom line. After all, their personal assets are not a lot. They can't spend millions to pretend to be coercion, and spending too much money to eat can only seem stupid.

"1.08 million!"

Finally, someone raised the price again, and the auctioneer excitedly shouted: "This gentleman bid 1.08 million, is there a higher bid? 1.08 million once, 1.08 million twice... The plaque was raised again on the 37th, this gentleman's The bid is...1.18 million!"

The person who had raised the price before seemed a little hesitant. After nearly 20 seconds, he finally raised his placard again and bid 1.88 million.

"1.68 million!" The man raised his placard again in an instant, showing that he was bound to win, and suddenly raised the price by 500,000 yuan.

"You won," the previous person put down the sign, got up and laughed, "1.68 million is enough for me to study at Taurus Business School twice. Anyway, Mr. Song will teach seven classes every semester. If I have any questions, go directly to Taurus Business School. he."

Song Weiyang's dinner finally sold for 1.68 million yuan.

But Buffett only sold $250,000 for his lunch this year. Connecting to the economic and price levels of the two countries, Song Weiyang definitely won! It can only be said that the Chinese are more enthusiastic about this stuff and are more willing to spend money for this illusory thing ~ www.readwn.com~ If it weren't for the Chinese people's show operation, Buffett's charity lunch is estimated to have never risen to one million. Above US dollars.

The placard holder was surrounded by reporters when they left the court.

Faced with all kinds of questions, the man smiled and said, "I'm shooting for a friend. He doesn't want to show up and doesn't want to be too famous, so you don't want to ask."

The next day, related news exploded: China’s most expensive dinner was born, and the mysterious rich man bid 1.68 million yuan for a meal with Asia’s richest man Song Weiyang!

Buffett’s charity lunch is not very well-known in China at this time, and 99% of Chinese people don’t know that there is such a thing. As a result, Song Weiyang’s charity dinner became a sensation. Major newspapers and tabloids, online and offline reprinted reports, and the topic level even far exceeded the debate between Lang Xianping and Gu.

Is an hour and a half dinner really worth 1.68 million?

Except for those who want to make special hype, I am afraid that they are all considered worthless. Because Song Weiyang couldn't talk too deeply, he could at most point a few words casually, even too lazy to give pointers, and couldn't have friendship with Song Weiyang even after eating.

It’s not that easy to make a hype. At most, you brag in private, and you really raise the stock price under the guise of Song Weiyang. Do you think Song Weiyang is a wooden person and doesn’t respond? At that time, I will deny it in front of reporters. Maybe the stock price will plummet. It is possible to steal the chicken without losing the rice.

Zhao Danyang used Buffett to speculate on stocks, and he also bullied Buffett for being too far away from China, and he didn't react for a while.

Sohu took the lead in launching an online voting: If you have 1.68 million disposable money, would you like to use the money to eat with Song Weiyang?

Voting results--

Willingness: 3.8%.

Unwilling: 94.5%.

Well, let me think about it again: 1.7%. The latest chapter of the Rebirth of the Wild Age is here:
