Chapter 555 Auction Storm (4)

555

The lights suddenly moved away from the host, and then focused on a platform on the other side of the stage.

There was a bowl about the size of a palm placed on the counter.

"This first collection is from Dejing, the porcelain capital. It is a blue and white porcelain bowl from the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty..."

This opening was from the Ming Dynasty, and the atmosphere at the entire auction site was suddenly aroused.

In any case, the blue and white bowls of the Ming Dynasty were from official kilns. They are definitely very popular in the market today. The starting price of a bowl is 100,000 yuan, and after several biddings, it directly goes to one million yuan.

For Qiushi Auction, selling items worth millions is almost the same as the opening ceremony.

In the end, this blue and white bowl was bought by a collector for 12 million.

"If you buy a bowl for more than one million yuan, are these people crazy?" Chen said in a low voice.

"This kind of blue and white bowl has a very good ability to maintain its value, and the market in the later period should be okay. If you buy it for 1.2 million, it will probably be worth 2.1 million in a few years. At the worst, you can sell it for almost the same price. Go to auctions, and most of them are speculators. Of course, there are also real collectors, but in China, it is generally collected and resold, so that we can survive and collect." Guo Yunpeng explained.

"There are too few people who can only get in but not get out." Xu Taiping said, "I know a few people in the capital who can only get in but not get out, but they are really rich, accumulated over one or two hundred years. , so that you can only get in but not get out.”

"You have to have a family, and collecting is very expensive. A Tang Sancai bottle costs tens of millions. If you collect it, he can't use it now. If you put it there, think about it, how much will you lose in interest?" Guo Yunpeng said. .

"So, these people who shout high prices are generally trying to keep the appreciation in value and then resell it, right?" Chen asked.

"It's almost like this. Collect a batch of things, see which ones have appreciated in value, sell them out, and then buy another batch of things. Collecting is a test of your vision. On the one hand, you have a vision for things, and on the other hand, you have a vision for the market. Generally speaking, those who don’t have these two visions should stop collecting,” Xu Taiping said.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to have such profound insights into collections!" Guo Yunpeng flattered Xu Taiping without leaving any trace.

Xu Taiping smiled and accepted it happily.

For Chen, tonight opened the door to a new world. He was a security guard, and through great luck, he met Xu Taiping and became the deputy director of the security department. This was already the pinnacle of his life, but it was like this. Today's auction is not something that people like him can participate in. If it weren't for Xu Taiping, he would never have seen the so-called collection in his life.

Then we auctioned several items one after another, all with prices in the hundreds of thousands. The previous bowls were a bit inferior. This is a consistent method at auctions. The first item is usually not the cheapest, but there are also Maybe it's the one with a better price, which can stir up the atmosphere and help get a good price later.

The subjective component of auctions still has a great impact. After some people are killed, it is not impossible for something worth hundreds of thousands to be auctioned for millions. Therefore, the atmosphere is very important, because the atmosphere can impress people's subjective feelings. judge.

"Tonight's highlight is a Tang Sancai vase!" Guo Yunpeng said to Xu Taiping, "This Tang Sancai vase is said to have been commissioned for auction by a private collector. There is a similar one in the museum in the capital. Priceless."

"Tang Sancai? Not interested." Xu Taiping shook his head. He knew something about collecting, but he had no interest at all.

"The next auction is a roll of film!" The host's rich voice sounded again, "This roll of film comes from the late film master Mr. Zhang*. This is the first time Mr. Zhang* used it when he was young. We still don’t know what the content of the film captured by the film machine is, because this roll of film has been sealed by Mr. Zhang* personally, but what is certain is that it was taken by Mr. Zhang* at that time. Mr. Zhang*’s family entrusted us to conduct an auction, and all the proceeds will be donated to my country’s Youth Film Foundation to cultivate and discover outstanding local directors, actors, and screenwriters in my country. Therefore, it can be said that this is the This is the most meaningful lot in this auction. According to the opinions of Zhang*’s family, the starting bid for this lot is zero yuan, and the price increase will be at least 10,000 yuan per time. The auction begins now."

"One million." As soon as the host finished speaking, someone sitting in the first few rows raised his hand and shouted.

The first bidding price for an item that started at zero yuan reached a high price of one million, which is rare in the history of Chinese auctions.

"Two million."

The same guy sitting in the front row made the price.

The second call reached two million, which is probably considered unique in the history of Chinese auctions.

"Three million." Guo Yunpeng next to Xu Taiping raised his hand and shouted the price.

The auctioneer said that the price would be increased by 10,000 yuan at a time, which was good for now. The price was increased three times to 3 million, and once at 1 million. The entire auction scene suddenly became lively. Although Zhang* does enjoy a very high reputation in the country, these three people The price increased to three million, which is really scary.

"You want to buy this thing? You don't know what's inside." Xu Taiping asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter what is in it. The main thing is that it was left by Director Zhang*, and it was film. You have to know that Director Zhang*'s era was already in the digital age. Where could there be such a thing as film? Going to Director Zhang* It is estimated that film was only used a few fifty years ago. Therefore, what is in this film is not important at all. What is important is this film. This is the only film left by Director Zhang*. It is precious here. The only one." Guo Yunpeng said.

"I see." Xu Taiping nodded clearly.

Guo Yunpeng's price of three million made everyone at the scene who was planning to bid hesitate.

Three million for a film is still a bit expensive.

"Four million!" Martin, who was sitting in the front row, raised his hand and shouted a price.

"Four million, our gentleman bids four million!!" the host said excitedly, pointing to Martin.

Many people looked at Martin. Martin was still very famous, so many people recognized Martin.

As a major international director, spending 4 million to buy the film works of his peers means that the director has great recognition for his peers.

Of course, Zhang* doesn’t need the approval of these people. When he was alive, Martin was just a student at the film school and was not qualified to carry his shoes.

"Four and a half million." A man sitting in the second row shouted the price.

"Five million." Martin immediately increased the price.

"Six million." Guo Yunpeng raised his hand and said.

"Seven million." Martin added another million.

"Martin definitely did this on purpose!" Guo Yunpeng said with a dark face, "I told him before that I particularly like Director Zhang *, and this time my target is this roll of film. Is he deliberately raising the price? !”

"Have you told him your bottom line?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Said!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.

"How much?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Seven and a half million." Guo Yunpeng said, "This is my bottom line!"

"Haha, you are really stupid. You are telling others your bottom line." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"How did I know we would fight with him!" Guo Yunpeng said helplessly, then raised his hand and said, "Seven and a half million."

"Seven million and a half million." Martin raised his hand and shouted again without waiting for the host to speak.

"Asshole, you did it on purpose!" Guo Yunpeng said through gritted teeth.

"Director Guo, he only added 10,000, and maybe he doesn't have much confidence anymore. If you add another 10,000 to 20,000, it's possible to win!" Chen said softly.

"He did this on purpose to show me. He knew where my bottom line was. If he shouted too high all at once, I might not want to give up, so he raised ten thousand to ten thousand, deliberately showing that he was not confident enough. As long as I add, he will add to me, and in the end the price will reach a price that I can't bear. If he suddenly leaves at that time, then I will be shocked!" Guo Yunpeng said.

"There is such a thing!" Chen suddenly realized.

"An auction is more than just a simple bidding. If you are a wealthy person, fine, you can shout whatever you want. But if you are not, then you have to use some strategy to get what you want at the least cost. Only in this way can you I feel accomplished!" Xu Taiping said.

"I understand!" Chen nodded.

"Seven million and a half million, is there any increase in price?" the host asked loudly.

Guo Yunpeng's face turned green and white. He sat there and hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his hand.

"Eight million!" Guo Yunpeng said.

"It's exceeded your bottom line." Xu Taiping said.

"No matter what, the worst case scenario is that I go back and sell a house in the capital. No matter what, I will definitely get this film, not for anything else but to fight for my reputation!" Guo Yunpeng said through gritted teeth.

"Eight million, our buyer No. 32 bids eight million, is there any increase in price?" the host shouted excitedly.

"Nine million." Martin raised his hand again.

"Ten million!" Guo Yunpeng shouted.

"Twelve million." Martin raised his hand and shouted after Guo Yunpeng finished speaking, and this time, he directly added two million.

"Money with me? Haha." Martin turned his head, glanced at Guo Yunpeng jokingly, and said to himself.

"Asshole!" Guo Yunpeng's face turned red with anger. He hesitated for a long time, but finally did not raise his hand again.

After all, he is a businessman, he can do the head stuff, but he can't do the stupid stuff.

"Twelve million, this gentleman bids twelve million. Is there more? Twelve million for the first time, Twelve million for the second time, Twelve million..."

Seeing that the host was about to drop the hammer, Xu Taiping slowly raised his hand and said, "Five million."
