Six hundred and thirtieth chapters come out on top
This unique and routine special auction rule can indeed arouse people's curiosity and even make people feel a special excitement, but its disadvantages are also great.
If everyone saves the funds for the last auction item, the transaction price of the first auction items is too low. Or, everyone wastes the funds on the first auction items, and for the last auction item that appears, the most valuable one, everyone has limited funds, but they cannot buy a high price.
Another possibility is that because everyone doesn’t know what to auction, the funds they prepare may not be sufficient. So if we really encounter the right time and place and people, two rich people want to bid for a high price to win an auction, it is almost impossible.
In fact, in Wang Yang's opinion, no matter how you look at it, you feel that this auction rule has greatly restricted the final transaction price of each auction item.
But in fact, this small auction hidden under a large charity auction has been held for several sessions, and the organizers behind it cannot have thought of the problem.
The reason why they know that such auction rules do more harm than good is that they still adhere to such rules is naturally because they have their intentions.
Wang Yang looked at Zheng Shubao. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had come here. Could it be that the things auctioned here were really a bit special?
With a patient attitude, Wang Yang waited for the auctioneer named Junichiro Chijima to take out the first auction item.
After Junichiro Chijima knocked down the mallet and announced the auction began, several staff members immediately came over with a stack of picture albums and distributed them to everyone present.
Junichiro Qianshima was quietly waiting at the auction stand. Wang Yang lowered his head and looked at the picture album he had just sent to him.
After opening, the first page of the picture album is the name and pattern of the first thing to be auctioned today.
Eighteen consecutive sets of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments.
As for the latter, there are the firm results and introduction of this 18 Hetian jade fan ornaments.
"Yeah, this is a good thing."
Zheng Shubao next to him opened the picture album and looked at it, and became surprised.
Wang Yang didn't know much about this kind of jade ornament, so he flipped to the back of the picture album and read it. The following pages of the picture album were introduced in detail.
Hetian jade is mainly divided into four types: white jade, jade, and black jade. The white jade is white, delicate, slightly transparent and like mutton fat, and is called mutton fat white jade. Among the green jade and white jade, there is a color that is dark gray-green to blue-green. The opaque excessive type of jade is called blue-white jade.
All of these eighteen Hetian jade ornaments are made of the best white mutton fat jade among Hetian jade, and they are also produced by Qi Jiakeng.
It turns out that the white jade materials produced on the mountain in the jade carving industry are divided into types by mine pits, such as Qijiakeng, Yangjiakeng, Kaqiangkeng... Among them, the jade materials produced by Qijiakeng are white in color and moist in quality, which is a famous good material species.
As for its engraver, it was not stated in the picture album. Only on the last page, it marked its lowest starting price for this time was 2.7 million.
Wang Yang was not interested in this jade carving ornament. But Zheng Shubao was more interested, so he came over to explain to Wang Yang: "Master Wang. The starting price of these 18 Hetian jade ornaments is 2.7 million yuan, which is on average equal to only 200,000 yuan per Hetian jade ornament. If it is really a piece of it from the same famous artist, it would be of great value."
"Why is it not marked on this album that the famous artist's work?" Wang Yang didn't see the source of these eighteen ornaments of Hetian Yushanzi, and thought he hadn't found it, so he looked at the album again.
"Haha, Master Wang, this is exactly what this auction is interesting." Zheng Shubao threw the picture album he had read on the table, and then explained to Wang Yang. "Although this auction only auctions at most five items at a time, each item will hide the most important information from the picture album that was posted. In other words, you may buy a less valuable inferior item at a high price, or you may only spend a very small amount of money to buy a rare item."
Wang Yang frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "But aren't you afraid that you businessmen will not be willing to bid for a high price, which will lead to failure in auction?"
"Of course not. If you don't believe it, Master Wang, you will know it after looking back."
Zheng Shubao did not explain this to Wang Yang, but instead kept it a secret and let Wang Yang wait patiently.
About five or six minutes later, the staff behind him carried a glass display cabinet to the auction table. Through the glass display cabinet, the jade ornaments of Shibashanzi Hetian were vivid, like white jade with mutton fat, carved a pair of cranes. Under the feet of two cranes, a carp jumped out of the water, and the fish tail was even carrying a series of water droplets.
Although Wang Yang was not interested in this jade carving ornament, he had to praise him when he saw it, which was really exquisite.
"Dear gentlemen, I believe you have already known this Hotan Yuyamako ornament. This piece is only one of the eighteen pieces. You can think about the price in your heart a little." After a brief introduction by Junichiro Chishima briefly, he paused before speaking: "Just like the previous rules, in another five minutes, the display screens on both sides will light up, and everyone will start bidding."
As soon as he finished speaking, a low voice immediately sounded in the living room.
"Good guy, looking at the quality, it seems to be the work of Mr. Song Shiyi. Could it be that the remaining seventeen Hetian Yushanzi ornaments are all the works of Mr. Song Shiyi in a complete set?"
Zheng Shubao took a look at the jade carving ornaments on the platform and couldn't move his eyes away.
"Is there anything special about this?" Wang Yang asked curiously.
Zheng Shubao didn't look back, staring at the Hetian Jade Mountain Ornament, and replied for a long time later, "Take this Hetian Jade Mountain Ornament for example. If it was a work by the famous jade carving master Mr. Song Shiyi, it would have been auctioned for 300,000 three years ago. Now it would be worth 400,000 or 500,000. The most rare thing is that if the remaining seventeen sets of Hetian Jade Mountain Ornaments were all made by Mr. Song Shiyi... Then the price of this set of Hetian Jade Mountain Ornaments would only rise exponentially! But if they were not from Mr. Song Shiyi, but from other unknown jade carving masters, the price would be much lower."
After saying that, he felt sorry for himself and shook his head and said, "If you want to get this thing alone, you will probably consume all the reserve funds in your hand. If you have any treasures you like, you may miss it."
So that's it. Now Wang Yang knows why Zheng Shubao was not worried about the failure to shoot just now.
There will always be people who raise the price with gambling intentions. If these eighteen Hetian Yushanzi ornaments were made by Mr. Song Shiyi or famous masters like Mr. Song Shiyi, it would only make a big profit. But in other words, even if it was not from some famous masters, the eighteen sets of Hetian Yushanzi ornaments of this quality were also quite valuable.
After a long time of trouble, the purpose of the auction was here. Wang Yang couldn't help but shake his head secretly, thinking that these rich people are really good at playing, and they will still make it like gambling when collecting the auction points.
After a brief discussion, the large LCD displays on both sides of the auction stand also lit up, and Junichiro Chijima also announced the start of the auction.
At this time, no one spoke anymore, so many people picked up the remote control on the table and pressed it.
A set of numbers began to pop up on the screens on both sides, from 2.7 million to 3 million, 3.5 million, and 3.7 million, but it increased to 5 million in a while. After five million, many people shook their heads and put down the remote control in their hands. The incremental numbers on the display slowed down.
The whole process was silent. Wang Yang suddenly realized that the auction was really unique, and there was no tense atmosphere of constant bidding and auctions in his impression.
Seeing that Wang Yang seemed to be uninterested, Zheng Shubao said, "Master Wang, if you are not interested in this ornament, I will start."
After making a gesture of asking for advice, Wang Yang, who was bored, swept slightly towards Qi Xiangnan.
Qi Xiangnan was not interested in this jade carving ornament at all. The album posted to his seat has not even opened it. He didn't know what he was thinking, and was sitting there and closing his eyes to rest.
However, the few people around him were similar to Zheng Shubao, and looked very interested in looking at the picture album in his hand.
Ouyang Haoxin and the others reacted similarly to Wang Yang. On the surface, they were not interested in this Hetian Yushanzi ornament, but in fact they were still secretly monitoring Qi Xiangnan's every move.
The numbers on the LCD screen quickly increased to eight million, and here, basically the numbers on the screen no longer moved.
Junichiro Chijima had an iPad in his hand, which was obviously connected to a large screen. Seeing that the numbers on it were no longer added, he smiled slightly, and the wooden hammer in his hand hit the table, and smiled and said, "It seems that no one is planning to increase the price. So I ask again, will everyone decide not to increase the price?"
The numbers on the screen still did not change. After Junichiro Qianshima asked Sanbian, the wooden hammer fell for the third time, then he smiled and said, "Then I want to congratulate the buyer who won the 18 Hetian Yushanzi ornaments for 8 million yuan. These 18 Hetian Yushanzi ornaments were also from the famous jade carving master Mr. Song Shiyi. The market price of the 18 consecutive sets is currently around 10 million!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Shubao couldn't help but be happy and said, "I'm really guessing it's really a mistake. It's really a 18-piece Hetian Yushanzi ornament from Mr. Song Shiyi, and he made a profit.
There is no doubt that the 18-piece Hetian Yushanzi ornaments were Zheng Shubao who offered 8 million yuan.
In this silent auction, he took the lead.
