Chapter 248 Cui's fight
When the auctioneer came on stage, Zhao Xin couldn't help but complain: "You can't hire a full-time auctioneer? Do you have to hire such a wild way every time?"
Well!
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but wonder, isn't that the auctioneer professional? It doesn't make sense? This auction house seems to be so poor, right? There is not even an exclusive auctioneer for itself?
That's too shabby, right?
Even Hu Yang couldn't help but show his questioning eyes, seriously doubting the qualifications and strength of this auction house!
Auctionists can be said to be one of the keys of an auction. Sometimes auctioneers play a vital role in whether they can sell for a good price. But can your auction house even afford to hire a good auctioneer?
You should know that the main responsibility of the auction is to preside over the auction, and also participate in the auction planning work and formulate auction marketing strategies.
An auctioneer with good qualities can set the best quotation route after optimizing and combining the items to be auctioned. Coupled with the noise of the on-site atmosphere, they often make the auction achieve unexpected results.
In fact, the auctioneer you see hosting bidding at the auction is only the last stage of the entire auction process. In fact, the auctioneer's work is far more than this.
Zhou Xing glared at Lao Zhao: "Brother Hu, don't listen to his nonsense. What a wild way? Xiao Jiang's strength is still very good."
It’s not that they can’t afford to hire an auctioneer, but they are really a scam from the people they hired in front.
After thinking about the auction house, they might as well not have to maintain an auction house. Every time they auction, they will give the appearance fee and ask some free auctioneers who are more optimistic about to host it.
Xiao Jiang is a free auctioneer they are very optimistic about. The so-called free auctioneer is someone who does not work in any auction house but has an auctioneer qualification certificate.
Although the auctioneer in front of him is not too old and may not be very experienced sometimes, he is very good at adjusting the atmosphere on site. He has achieved remarkable results in the previous auctions.
Now, their auction house even has voices, wanting to win over Xiaojiang to join and act as a full-time auctioneer in their auction house.
Someone is discussing specific matters, but Zhou Xing is not interested in paying attention to them.
"Dear guests and friends, good morning! I am auctioneer Jiang Xiaobai. Today I will host this auction for you. This auction will include..." On the stage, the auctioneer in formal outfits began to speak.
The opening remarks were not too special, but they also made the audience in the live broadcast room realize that this is how the auction began.
"Okay! Without further ado, let's get some stuff. The first thing that appeared was a Ru kiln pendant from the Northern Song Dynasty. After the appraiser's appraisal, it was undoubtedly Ru kiln porcelain. This pendant..." Jiang Xiaobai began to introduce the Ru kiln pendant.
It can also be seen that as a qualified auctioneer, you need to know a lot before going on stage. At least you have to be clear about the specific information of each bidding item. Even if you are not good at the identification knowledge, you must keep the information of each bidding item in your heart by rote memorizing it.
Every professional has his job not as simple as it seems.
In fact, it was the first time Jiang Xiaobai hosted such a large auction. He has worked with this auction house several times, but the scenes in the first few times were average and the bidding items were not very precious. The best one was an ancient painting worth more than 10 million, most of which were cultural relics worth hundreds of thousands.
This time, the auction house had communicated with him for a long time and had great tools. The inconspicuous porcelain piece in front of him was actually Ru kiln porcelain with a stock of less than 100 pieces in the world, with a guaranteed price of 6 million.
In addition, there is also a Yongle sweet white glaze plum bottle, with the guaranteed price reaching an exaggerated 25 million.
There are also heavyweights among the guests that the auction house attaches great importance to. It can be said that this auction may be the most glorious time in his career.
It is fake to say that there is no tension at all, but there is more to expect.
Although his expenses have been negotiated, even if the sale is so expensive, he will not be able to pay more than a cent. But people cannot just look at the immediate interests.
As long as he can get a good price this time and has a good auction amount, it will be a beautiful experience for him, which can enhance his reputation in the auction circle and will be of great help to his profession.
"The bottom price is 4 million, and the price increase is no less than 100,000 yuan each time. The auction begins now." Jiang Xiaobai said.
This kind of reserve price was a bit high a few years ago. After all, this is just a piece of porcelain, a small object, not a bidder who is particularly powerful or particularly fond of, and has no intention of bidding at all.
However, today, that's not the case.
In today's auction market, antiques and cultural relics are particularly popular, not to mention rare goods like Ru Kiln, which are definitely rare items that are difficult to collect even if you have money.
After all, the purchasing power of several million is not particularly high now. Unlike ten years ago, millionaires were very powerful. Nowadays, in many places, you don’t have more than ten million. Don’t say that you are a rich man, it’s just a joke.
As soon as the auctioneer Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, someone bid: "Four million and one hundred million!"
Many people know that they don’t have a good chance of taking pictures, but they still try their luck. What if they get photographed by themselves?
This situation has not happened before. A treasure that is sold at a lower price often occurs. And those that fail to sell are not available because the reserve price is set too high and the bidders do not buy it.
There was almost no pause, and another bidder followed: "Four and two million!"
"Four and three hundred thousand!"
"Four and a half million!"
...
In just one minute, bidding for more than twenty times, and the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln pendant officially exceeded six million, and crossed the guarantee line of six million, which made the auction house feel relieved.
They knew that six million could definitely be photographed, otherwise they would not have made such a promise as Huyang.
The audience in the live broadcast room can also see the real auction scene, not the ones performed by TV series. They are talking about it in the live broadcast room, blindly guessing how much the price can be sold.
"Brother Hu is going to get rich again. It seems that he can reach more than eight million in the end."
"It's hard to say, haven't you seen the price rise slower and slower, and the amplitude is getting smaller and smaller?"
"What's hard to say? You haven't seen it, hasn't that big guy taken action yet? The heavyweight figure will definitely give you a high price in the end, and it will be a final decision."
"Eight millions should be a big problem. Although it is just a piece of porcelain, it is Ru kiln after all! It once created more than 200 million yuan in porcelain prices. No matter how bad it is, it is almost necessary to touch the line of tens of millions, right?"
"Brother Hu, after getting rich, should you give everyone another wave of benefits?"
...
Hupopotamus focuses more on the live broadcast room, rather than the Ru kiln porcelain. After all, I actually know how much it can be photographed.
Seeing someone asking for benefits again, I couldn't help but smile and said, "Now when you pay attention to it is more than 330,000 or 350,000 yuan, we will send you a wave of benefits and a red envelope of 50,000 yuan."
If you buy more than 10,000 yuan for attention, the price is definitely very high, and no one will do this. But in order to quickly increase the amount of attention, Huyang doesn’t care about that little money. Who says the system only looks at the amount of attention?
When everyone heard this, they didn’t pay attention to it.
It is actually not difficult to increase the number of followers by more than 10,000. After all, the number of online viewers watching live broadcasts is about 300,000. Many of them have no followers and can be harvested once.
It was still chatting here, and at the auction site, the big shot finally took action.
"Seven million!"
This addition was about one million, which allowed many viewers in the live broadcast room to finally see a scene of spending a lot of money.
Moreover, they found that the bidding was not the boss named Cui as everyone expected, but another person who didn't even know Lao Zhao.
Zhou Xing introduced: "He is also surnamed Cui, and he seems to be quite rich, and he doesn't know what the background is."
Well? Another surname is Cui? It seems that he is very interested in the Ru kiln pendant.
"It seems that the auction price of that Ru Kiln is about to explode." Zhao Xin is a person who can look at people. From a person's appearance, behavior, etc., one can see a person's roughly origin.
The people who bid now have extraordinary demeanor, probably not a simple origin.
However, two of the surname Cui came out at once and became very interested in the Ru kiln porcelain. It was really puzzling. Could it be that there is a little other story for that pendant?
Another old man named Cui, the boss mentioned by Lao Zhao, seemed to know the person who bid, frowned slightly and showed an unhappy look.
Others don’t know, but he knows that the Ru kiln porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty was a token of their Cui family. It was lost in the late Ming Dynasty and had been around for more than four hundred years. Unexpectedly, it appeared again now.
It is precisely because he came here in person, showing his attitude and determined to win.
Why don’t you know the guy who offered the offer just now? They are all from Cui’s family, but they are from another lineage. In the late Qing Dynasty, they brought a fortune to overseas development, and it seemed that they had made a name for themselves.
Now that I come back, I want to take the authentic position of Cui's family, which is really a daydream.
"Eight million!" Mr. Cui also started bidding.
This is all one million, one million yuan, and it immediately persuaded more than 90% of the bidders to be withdrawn. Everyone is self-aware and very conscious of it and withdraws from the bidding ranks.
"Ten million!" The middle-aged man named Cui was not showing any weakness.
This time, even Poplar was surprised, which exceeded his expectations. In his opinion, this price has exceeded the collection value of the Ru kiln pendant.
The audience in the live broadcast room was in full swing again. Just now, everyone was discussing whether it could reach eight million.
How long has it been? It has already been shouted to 10 million, which is simply crazy. This is the scene that should have!
"Five million!" Mr. Cui added five million in one breath.
The scene was quiet and was shocked by this way of yelling.
Even Lao Zhao couldn't help but speak: "Are you crazy?"
Chapter completed!
