Chapter 058: Set a small goal, make him 100 million first
Time flies a month, and Qin Guan received a call from Christie's in Hong Kong. An auction will be held in two days and asked if he will participate.
Of course, we have to see it. Manager Zhang is right. It would feel very good to watch others compete for their own things, the price will rise little by little.
The auction is scheduled to start at 1 o'clock in the morning. Early in the morning, many guests came to Christie's auction house and gathered in the exhibition hall below to watch the items that were being auctioned today in the showcase.
Qin Guan was also among them and walked around the exhibition hall. Qin Guan found that the items he handed over were the final items of this auction.
I have to say that the mutton fat jade bracelet, jade bracelet and Tianhuangshi he sent are indeed finest jade and have high value. Although there are several antique jade fine items here, their value cannot be compared with his things.
Just look at the audience's reactions.
The most people gathered around Qin Guan’s three items. On Tianhuangshi, there were more than a dozen people savoring the heads and evaluating them carefully. The pair of jade bracelets gathered the most. It can be said that the entire display cabinet was surrounded by people, and there were still people standing outside to watch.
“This pair of bracelets is so beautiful.”
"Yes, I haven't seen such a good jade in several years. The green is lingering and flawless. This time, many rich people are coming for him."
"It's hard to get this kind of bracelet even in Myanmar. I guess there will be many people snatching it today."
"Then let's take a look at the trump card together."
The auction will be held on time at 1 o'clock in the morning.
After the auctioneer came on stage, he introduced it enthusiastically and started today's auction. The first item was a fine item.
"The first item today is an antique jade hairpin, which comes from the Qing Dynasty palace. The Panlong hairpin is decorated with pearls and rubies, and is perfectly shaped. This jade hairpin is originally a pair of a broken jade hairpin donated by the last emperor Puyi to the Shenyang Forbidden City."
"Okay, this fine jade hairpin will start at HK$60,000, and the auction will start now."
“61o.”
“63o.”
“…”
“6.55 million.”
The price is rising little by little. To be honest, although this jade hairpin is an antique and comes from the royal family, the same is true, the room for appreciation is not much, and people's interest in it is not as high as imagined.
In the end, the jade hairpin was sold for 6.75 million yuan, and everyone applauded.
Next, the items were auctioned one by one. During this period, two items failed to be sold. Qin Guan always watched in the audience and always felt that there was a big gap between them and the fierce auction he imagined. People were lukewarm and were very cautious when holding signs.
In fact, if you think about it, most of people buy antiques for investment and appreciation, but most of these auction items are transparent. Unless you like them, no one will be so stupid that they can make a big deal out of their lives. Rational collectors will give up as long as they pass their own psychological expectations, so it is difficult to irrationally compete.
At 11 o'clock, the No. 65 lot appeared, which made Qin Guan feel energetic, because the No. 65 lot was his pair of mutton fat jade bracelets.
"Lot No. 65, a pair of high-quality Hotan seed material mutton fat jade bracelets, without any flaws, modern craftsmanship."
"The Hetian jade seed material is hard to find nowadays, and large pieces of mutton fat jade that can produce bracelets are even hard to find. The last time we auctioned mutton fat jade bracelets at Christie's was the jade special show last year. This pair of bracelets was the same piece of jade, which is even more rare, so don't miss this rare opportunity. At the beginning of the auction, the lowest price of this pair of bracelets is 820,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Qin Guan heard the auctioneer say that the reserve price was 820,000, not the 70,000,000 mentioned earlier, but unexpectedly, the auction house raised the reserve price again.
“850,000.”
“860,000.”
“9oo thousand.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the price was opened, more than a dozen buyers started bidding, which made the atmosphere on the scene look much more lively.
“…”
“1ooo ten thousand.”
In just two minutes, the price exceeded 10,000, and it seems that it has not reached the top yet, and there are still several buyers bidding.
The auctioneer was also very excited and made a hard offer, "1ooo thousand, 1ooo thousand, is there any higher one? OK, buyer No. 29, bid 1o2o thousand, now it is 1o2o thousand, is there any higher one? Good buyer No. 66, bid 1o50 thousand..."
Seeing the price rising, Qin Guan, who was sitting in the audience, did feel excited. He didn't feel like this when he saw someone else's auction just now, but now he looked at his own items, it was completely different. It was all his own money.
"Bang!"
The auctioneer drops the hammer.
In the end, the price of this pair of mutton fat jade bracelets was fixed at 1.15 million yuan, creating the temporary highest price for today's auction.
After more than ten minutes, the price was refreshed because Qin Guan's pair of jade bracelets appeared, and the offer was 20,000 yuan.
This pair of jade bracelets has been sought after by many buyers before, and many people came specifically for them, so the price rose sharply from the beginning.
After only a dozen times, the price exceeded 30,000 yuan, and it continued to soar.
“35oo million.”
“355 million.”
The price reached 3.55 million yuan, which was almost the limit that people could bear. In the end, this pair of glass-type Yang-green jade bracelets were sold for 3.55 million yuan.
There was applause at the scene, and congratulations on the second highest price today.
Qin Guan was also very excited. This is 47 million. So, is it possible to achieve a small goal today?
Zhang Fu's saying "Set a small goal and make him 100 million first" is so famous. Qin Guan is now thinking about achieving this small goal and taking the solid first step in his life.
The auction continued, and the more high-quality products appeared, the more you saw, Shoushan Jade Double Dragon Pen Wash, Jade Ice Floating Flower Double Ear Bottle, White Jade Dragon Pattern Plate, and a pair of bloody chicken blood stone seals, all of which were sold at high prices.
I can only sigh that there are so many rich people nowadays.
Finally, Qin Guan’s Tianhuang stone material appeared, and the first one was the smaller Tianhuang frozen stone. The auctioneer began to introduce, “The best Tianhuang frozen stone material has not been processed and carved. Everyone knows that Tianhuang frozen stone is the best among Tianhuang stones, and it is the best product for making top-quality seals and playing with pieces. Good Tianhuang stone is extremely rare, so it is extremely popular in the market and is a choice for preserving and increasing value.”
"This piece of Tianhuang frozen stone weighs 438 grams and has a starting price of 240,000 yuan. You can start bidding now."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone started to raise a bid.
“25oo million.”
“255 million.”
Many people here are very interested in these two Tianhuangshi, and they can also see the future value-added space for these two Tianhuangshi, and a new round of competition has begun.
