Chapter 15: That's what you have in your hands
As the largest auction house in southern China, the strength of the auction house is undoubted, the auction hall covers an area of more than 500 square meters, can accommodate five to six hundred guests at the same time, Zhang Sicheng and the other three came to the hall of the Chinese tribe after looking around and couldn't help sighing: "Lao Zhang, you are really right, in the past auctions can have two or three hundred people is good, now it is full, it seems that in recent years, our people's income has really increased very quickly." ”
"That's nature." Huang Tianyao also nodded and said: "The so-called gold of the prosperous antiques and troubled times, now the Huaxia currency is constantly depreciating, in addition to the house, that is, the antiques will continue to appreciate, and it has become natural for people to invest in the antique industry with a honeycomb, don't you see that the net worth of Lao Gu has risen so many times in the past two years?" ”
"Just blow it." Gu Tengqing shook his head helplessly: "I earn hard-earned money, how can I compare with you, a big boss, as long as you start the machine, it is money, and I have to run around tiredly." ”
Zhang Sicheng expressed his deep disgust for the performance of the two, and he hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, we are not here to hold a grievance meeting today, don't act in front of me, sit down quickly, the auction is about to start." ”
Soon, the lights on the auction table came on, and a young auctioneer came in, wearing a black suit and a slender height that looked very energetic. He strode to the auction table and said: "Welcome to the distant auction house to participate in the first auction in February 2006, today this auction will be hosted by me for you, and I will introduce you to the first auction item today, please change the lights of the staff." ”
As the auctioneer's words fell, the light suddenly became dimmed, and I saw a beam of light shining down from the top, and a slender girl wearing a cheongsam walked into the auction hall with a tray in her hand, and put the tray in her hand on the table of the auction table, and the light on the top shone on the tray, and then an object shone softly in the light.
"What is this?"
"Jade Pendant...... I saw it, it was a jade pendant! ”
There was an exclamation in the venue. Although the auction table is at least ten meters away from the seats, the people in the front row can still see that the light emitted by the jade pendant under the light beam is not dazzling, but very warm.
"Shhh...... What a jade......" Even Gu Tengqing couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
The auctioneer looked at the amazed eyes of everyone below and was very proud, and he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this jade pendant is one of the items that a customer entrusted our auction house to auction two days ago. After the identification of our experts, this jade pendant is an ancient jade of the Song Dynasty, which is carved with a typical Three Gorges cloud pattern decoration of the Song Dynasty, divided into two parts of the cloud head and cloud tail, the cloud head part has three small cirrus clouds, two are rolled down to both sides, and the other is at the intersection of the two, and the cloud tail is like a fluttering ......"
Gu Tengqing ignored the host's boasting on it, but walked up to himself and took a closer look, and he watched for five or six minutes before walking back to his seat. As soon as he sat down, Zhang Sicheng and Huang Tianyao came over and asked in unison: "Old Gu, how is it, is this jade pendant real?" ”
Gu Tengqing nodded and said: "The pulp of this jade pendant is smooth and gratifying, the dark light is quiet, and there is no slightest dazzling "thief light" and fire, which basically excludes the possibility of fraud, so the possibility of being genuine is very high." ”
Huang Tianyao Hawk Zhang Sicheng glanced at each other, Gu Tengqing has been immersed in antiques for most of his life, since he said that the possibility of treasures is very high, then eight out of ten is true, it seems that the distant auction house has made a bloody investment this time, and threw out such a treasure at the beginning.
After more than ten minutes, after the customers who came forward to observe gradually dispersed, the auctioneer raised a small hammer and knocked it down to make a crisp sound of "pop", "Now the auction starts, the starting price of the Three Gorges Yunyu Pei in the Song Dynasty is 800,000, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan each time!" ”
The whole venue was silent for a long time, and a voice rang out: "850,000!" ”
"900,000!"
"930,000!"
At the venue, you were tens of thousands, I was tens of thousands, and soon this jade pendant was pushed to a high price of 1.5 million, and at this time, the number of bidders began to decrease, it seems that this price has approached the bottom line in everyone's hearts, and finally stopped at the price of 1.62 million.
"1,620,000...... Is there a higher price than 1.62 million? ”
"1.62 million, this is a very good Song Dynasty Hetian jade pendant, with a long history, and there is a lot of room for appreciation, you will definitely not lose money if you buy it back!"
The auctioneer was talking endlessly, trying to persuade the people below to continue to raise the price, but there was still no one to say anything, and it seemed that the price had reached the bottom line. The auctioneer said for a while and saw that there was still no reflection below, so he had to raise the hammer a little unwillingly to announce the sale, but at this time a voice sounded below.
"1.8 million!"
"1.8 million ...... This gentleman bid 180, and no one else offered more...... 1,800,000 one-time ...... 1,800,000 twice...... 180 triplicate ...... Bang...... Sold ......"
Huang Tianyao, who was in the seat, looked at Gu Tengqing with some surprise: "Old Gu, do you really like that piece of jade so much?" I was willing to spend more than 200,000 yuan to buy this piece of jade. ”
"It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I like it, isn't this the meaning of us playing antiques?" Gu Tengqing said indifferently: "What's more, this jade pendant will not be at this price if it is put for a few more years!" ”
The auction continued, and today's auction gave everyone a lot of surprises. In the next auction, there were constantly "surprises" that stimulated everyone's nerves, and when the auction ended, not only Gu Tengqing, but even Huang Tianyao also auctioned several things.
After the end, everyone rushed out, and Zhang Sicheng and the three walked behind. Gu Tengqing and Huang Tianyao were very satisfied with today's auction, and the three of them were talking while walking, when they suddenly heard Zhang Sicheng shout in some surprise: "Yang Feng, why are you here?" ”
Looking at Zhang Sicheng's voice, Gu Tengqing and Huang Tianyao found Yang Feng who had just walked from the side.
The person who came was Yang Feng, and he was also a little surprised and said, "Brother Zhang, Gu, Boss Huang, hello!" ”
"Yang Feng, are you also here to see the auction today?" Huang Tianyao asked with some curiosity.
"It's not!" Yang Feng smiled and shook his head: "I'm here to sell things today." ”
"Sell something!" Huang Tianyao looked at Yang Feng in surprise, "What are you going to sell?" ”
Yang Feng helplessly pointed to the jade pendant that was being held in his hand by Gu Tengqing and said, "Oh, the jade pendant in the old man's hand and the golden Buddha of the Ming Dynasty in your hand are what I came to sell." ”
"What?" Immediately there was an exclamation from the side.
