A month passed and Qin Guan received a call from Christie's in Hong Kong. The auction would be held in two days and he was asked if he would participate.

Of course, I have to try it out. That manager Zhang was right. It should be a good feeling to watch others compete for your own goods and the prices to rise little by little.

The auction is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Early in the morning, many guests came to the Christie's auction house, gathered around the exhibition hall below, and looked at the items in the display cabinets that were to be auctioned today.

Qin Guan was among them. After walking around the exhibition hall, Qin Guan discovered that the items he handed in were actually the finale of the auction.

I have to say that the mutton-fat jade bracelets, jade jade bracelets, and field yellow stones he sent are indeed the finest jade, and their value is also high. Although there are several antique jade boutiques here, their value is not comparable to his.

compared to something.

Just look at the audience's reaction.

The three auction items of Qin Guan were surrounded by the most people. On the side of Tianhuang Stone, more than a dozen people were discussing, appreciating and commenting carefully. The pair of jade bracelets had the largest number of people gathered. It could be said that the entire display cabinet was occupied by people.

It was full of people, and there was a circle of people standing outside ready to watch.

"These bracelets are so beautiful."

"Yes, I haven't seen such good jadeite in several years. It's green and flawless. Many rich people came here for it this time."

"This kind of bracelet is hard to come by even in Myanmar. It is estimated that many people will grab it today."

"Then let's take a look at the cards together."

At 10 a.m., the auction was held on time.

The auctioneer came on stage and after a passionate introduction, today's auction began. The first lot was a fine item.

"Today's first auction item is an antique jade hairpin from the Qing Dynasty imperial palace. The coiled dragon hairpin is decorated with pearls and rubies and has a perfect shape. This jade hairpin is the same as one donated by the last emperor Puyi to the Shenyang Forbidden City.

The fragments of jade hairpins were originally a pair."

"Okay, this fine jade hairpin has a starting price of HK$6 million. Bidding starts now."

"610."

"630."

"..."

"6.55 million."

The price is rising little by little. To be honest, although this jade hairpin is an antique, it still comes from the royal family. However, there is not much room for appreciation, and people's interest in her is not as high as imagined.

In the end, the jade hairpin was sold for 6.75 million, and everyone applauded.

Next, the lots were auctioned one by one. During the period, two lots failed to be sold. Qin Guan was always watching from the audience. He always felt that there was a big gap between the intense auction and the intense auction he had imagined. People were all lukewarm.

He is very cautious when raising signs.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that most people buy antiques for investment and appreciation. However, the prices of most of these auction items are transparent. Unless they like it very much, no one will be stupid enough to increase the price.

Rational collectors will give up decisively as long as their psychological expectations are exceeded, so it is difficult for irrational competition to occur.

At 11 o'clock, Lot 65 appeared, which made Qin Guan energetic for a while, because Lot 65 was his pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets.

"Lot No. 65, a pair of high-quality Hetian seed mutton-fat jade bracelets, without any flaws, modern craftsmanship."

"Today's Hetian jade seed material is hard to find, and large pieces of mutton-fat jade that can be used for bracelets are even harder to find. The last time we auctioned mutton-fat jade bracelets at Christie's was last year's jade sale. This pair of bracelets are from the same

It is even more rare to find a piece of jade, so don’t miss this rare opportunity. The auction has begun. The base price of this pair of bracelets is HKD 8.2 million."

Qin Guan heard that the auctioneer said the reserve price was 8.2 million, not 7 million as mentioned before. Unexpectedly, the auction house raised the reserve price again.

"8.5 million."

"8.6 million."

"9 million."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the price was opened, no less than a dozen buyers started bidding, making the atmosphere at the scene very lively.

"..."

"10 million."

In just two minutes, the price exceeded 10 million, and it seems that it has not reached the top yet, with several buyers still bidding.

The auctioneer was also very excited and quoted hard, "10 million, 10 million, is there anything higher? OK, buyer No. 29, bid 10.2 million. Now it is 10.2 million. Is there anything higher? Okay 66

Buyer No., bid 10.5 million..."

Seeing the rising prices, Qin Guan, who was sitting in the audience, felt really excited. He didn't feel this way when he was watching other people's auctions just now. But now when he looks at his own auctions, it's completely different. It's all his own money.

"Snapped!"

The auctioneer drops the hammer.

In the end, the price of this pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets was fixed at 11.5 million, creating a temporary highest price at today's auction.

Ten minutes later, the price was refreshed, because Qin Guan's pair of jade bracelets appeared, and the asking price was 20 million.

This pair of jade bracelets had been sought after by many buyers before, and many people came specifically for them, so the price rose rapidly from the beginning.

After only shouting a dozen times, the price exceeded 30 million, and it continued to soar.

"35 million."

"35.5 million."

The price reached 35.5 million, which was almost the limit that people could bear. In the end, this pair of glass sun-green jade bracelets was sold for 35.5 million.

There was a round of applause at the scene, congratulations on the second highest price today.

Qin Guan was also very excited. This was 47 million. Is it possible to achieve a small goal today?

Zhang Shaofu's saying "Set a small goal and make him 100 million first" is so famous. Qin Guan now also wants to achieve this small goal and take the first solid step in life.

The auction continued, and as we went to the back, more exquisite products appeared. A Shoushan jade double dragon pen washer, an emerald ice flower amphorae, a white jade dragon pattern plate, and a pair of full-blooded chicken blood stone seals all fetched very high prices.

I can only sigh that there are so many rich people nowadays.

Finally, Qin Guan's Tianhuang stone material appeared. The first one was the smaller Tianhuang frozen stone. The auctioneer began to introduce, "The best Tianhuang frozen stone material has not been processed or carved. Everyone knows that Tianhuang stone in Tianhuang frozen stone is the best."

It is the best, and it is a masterpiece for making top-quality seal and toy pieces. Good Tianhuang stone is extremely scarce, so it is extremely popular in the market and is the first choice for maintaining and increasing value."

"This piece of Tianhuang frozen stone weighs 438 grams and has a starting price of 24 million. You can start bidding now."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone started raising placards to bid.

"25 million."

"25.5 million."

Many people here are very interested in these two Tianhuang stones, and they can also see the potential for value-added of these two Tianhuang stones in the future. A new round of competition has begun.
Chapter completed!
