Chapter 85 [Fighting competition! 】
"A few years ago, a similar Yuan blue and white jar appeared on the market, which was also broken. The price was estimated to be one million to ten thousand and five hundred thousand." The fat boss said: "But the only thing is that the jar mouth is broken and the corners are not as good as this one. Well, I don't really like it anyway. If the starting price is more than 400,000, it may be dangerous."
The tall and thin man nodded: "I think so too. Oh, you must know that the jar is seriously disabled, so I won't come."
The fat boss walked forward: "Let's retreat after reading it, you're here."
Back at the banquet hall, when everyone sat firmly on the chair, the female auctioneer walked back to the rostrum, bowed and leaned over to the microphone, "Where are things, you have just seen it, so I won't explain it in detail. Okay, Yuan blue and white tangled lotus double-eared jars, now the auction starts, the starting price is 300,000 yuan." The seats in the auction are not fixed. After I came back, because I had been asking Yan Wanru about Yuan blue and white issues, I naturally sat with her and Teacher Liu. The fat boss and his tall and thin friend were not far from us, just opposite each other.
It is worth mentioning that during the first few auctions, no matter how popular the items were, there were always people who were not interested in talking about things that had nothing to do with it. However, after the Yuan blue and white porcelain appeared, the scene became strangely silent, silent. I should have been happy, after all, no one said a word, which also shows from another side that everyone's attention was very focused. The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building, but at this moment, I was really not happy, just because the scene was too quiet, so quiet that no one raised a sign to bid at the moment when the auctioneer announced the start!
"The base price is 300,000 yuan. Is there anyone who wants to bid?"
No one answered.
I feel a little sweaty on my forehead, right? Is it really a failure to take a picture?
The auctioneer said: "Is there really no one to buy the 300,000 yuan blue and white jar... Oh, No. 228, 310,000 yuan." I looked along the auctioneer's gaze, and the one holding the sign was Yan Wanru beside me!
It would be great if someone bought it, and I felt a little relieved.
"No. 228, 310,000...310,000 once... over there, 320,000...oh, 330,000...330,000...330,000 on the 236..." This time, the people who held up the signs were a cultural relics expert who often appeared on collection programs and a collector who had also been interviewed by the media. "...330,000...236, 330,000...and there is still... here, 340,000...340,000..." Yan Wanru was still the bidder.
Then, when I heard Teacher Liu say "I'm sorry" to Yan Wanru, I raised the number plate in my hand.
"350,000 yuan...350,000 yuan..."
Yan Wanru tilted her head and thought, paused her arm, and finally raised the sign again.
"360,000, No. 228, bid 360,000 yuan..."
Teacher Liu smiled bitterly and looked at her: "I said Wanru, you are rich and powerful, I can't fight for you. I won't raise it anymore." He reluctantly put the auction sign on the long table in front of him. Another cultural relics expert who had just raised the sign probably knew that he could not compete with Yan Wanru. Zhu, like Teacher Liu, put down the auction sign in his hand and smiled at him.
"There are still no price increase...360,000...360,000 once...360,000 twice..."
"Thirty-eight thousand!" A middle-aged man who was not good-looking before, who had never seen before, shouted out the price, and it rose by 20,000 yuan at once.
Yan Wanru looked at the man, shook her head, put the auction sign on the table, and stopped fighting. Teacher Liu asked her strangely why she didn't raise the sign. Yan Wanru smiled and said, "Most of us who do appraisal work are rational collectors. 380,000 is already beyond my estimation, so there is no need to fight for it anymore. Look, I guess the auctioneer is about to get a hammer."
Just as Yan Wanru analyzed, the price of Yuan blue and white cans seems to have reached a high level. The auctioneer would shout several times each time before someone bids for the auction, which gives people the feeling that it is difficult to climb, which should be the limit.
"Is there any higher bid for 400,000...400,000...400,000 every time..."
I sighed, is that the end?
“…400,000 twice…400,000…400,000 three…”
The auctioneer's word "�" was about to blurt out, but a voice rang out in vain: "450,000!" What surprised me was that the owner of the voice was not someone else, but the fat boss of Juxingzhai!
Immediately afterwards, the tall and thin friend of the fat boss also raised a sign and shouted: "Forty-eight thousand!"
The fat boss looked at him and said without thinking: "Five hundred and twenty thousand!"
The tall and thin man raised his sign again: "Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
Seeing this, Yan Wanru smiled silently and said to herself: "It seems that there are many irrational collectors at this auction." I suppressed my slightly excited mood and asked Yan Wanru what she meant. She replied with a smile: "Some people bid for things that are not the economic value of the cultural relics themselves. For example, if the boss of Juxingzhai won the Yuan blue and white jar, then it will inevitably attract the attention of many people in his shop in Liulichang, and it will be of great benefit to his business. Haha, even if it is broken and repaired, Yuan blue and white are Yuan blue and white after all, ordinary collectors will not deliberately pay attention to whether it is a defective product. If it is far away, it is difficult to see the clues on the outside."
Teacher Liu interrupted: "Haha, I'm not good at saying it. If you buy it for an irrational price of more than 600,000 yuan, the owner will probably buy it to support the store. What you want is the sentence "I have Yuan blue and white". After all, not everyone can afford the flawless Yuan blue and white. This jar with broken jar may be more popular with the little boss."
"Five hundred thousand...560 thousand every time..."
A big boss who had spoken to Yan Wanru before firmly raised the sign: "Six hundred thousand!"
The fat boss frowned: "...650,000!"
The tall and thin man immediately overwhelmed him: "...670,000!"
Fat boss: "Sixty-nine thousand!"
The tall and thin man didn't even look at him, raised his sign and shouted, "Seventy-two thousand!"
After a slight pause, the fat boss Yu Guang glanced at him and gritted his teeth: "800,000!"
Seeing the two of them fighting for each other, I was stunned!!
Just now, you two said that this is not good for my Yuan blue and white jar, and that is not good for me, and I said it is not worth it, and I can’t even get 400,000!
I'm sweating!
After a long time of trouble, you two will compete the most!
I know that the fat boss is not particular about doing business, but I didn’t expect that he would be so shameless! Those words before turned out to be to paralyze his opponent!
"Eighty-two thousand!" Another boss I didn't know joined the competition.
Auctioneer: "It's 820,000 yuan...820,000 yuan..."
The fat boss blushed and shouted, "850,000!"
As the flavour of fire gradually worsens, the price of Yuan blue and white porcelain is also soaring!
