Cheng Qiheng and others were shocked that the final lot was a fake. At first, they even wondered if Meng Zitao had seen it wrong. However, based on Meng Zitao's always cautious behavior in front of everyone, since he said this, he must have found some clues.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn¡¯t wait to ask Meng Zitao what was wrong with the Wenwang Cauldron. Only considering that the current environment was not suitable, I held back.
At this time, the auctioneer saw that no one came to the stage to appraise it, so he said: "Everyone must have seen the performance of this lot. There will be an auction without reserve price. Each increase in price shall not be less than 10,000. Let the auction begin now!" "
"One million!" There was silence for a while, and someone immediately quoted a price, and it was one million.
"1.01 million, I'm telling you, Lao Cao, can you not be so cruel in your offer? It's only one million when it comes up. I want to scare people to death!"
"1.1 million! Lao Zhou, if you don't have money, don't embarrass yourself. Is 1 million expensive for such a treasure?"
This person is right. Judging from the auction records since the 1980s, various tripods made using cloisonn¨¦ technology during the Qianlong period were common. The prices ranged from low to high, but as long as the height was more than 50 centimeters, Ding, the final transaction price was not cheap.
For example, in 2006, Jiangsu Fubi auctioned a Qing Qianlong copper-tied filigree enamel (cloisonn¨¦) three-legged tripod. The transaction price was as high as 7 million yuan, and the height of the tripod was only 65.5 centimeters.
It can be seen from this that even in the current auction, the price of the lot is lower than that in the antique market, the transaction price of this cloisonn¨¦ Wenwang tripod is conservatively estimated to be more than 7 million, not to mention other things, two years Time has to count for some gains.
But then again, a new hundred-yuan note weighs 1.15 grams each, and 7 million yuan costs more than 80 kilograms. Many people didn¡¯t know in advance that such a heavy instrument would appear here, and no one would come here with so much cash. . In this case, who can buy this lot?
Of course, people come up with solutions. If one person doesn¡¯t have enough money, then he can borrow it, or two or more people can buy it together. Many people here know each other, so this is still very easy to do. Moreover, just before the auction, several people had already discussed it.
The price kept rising, and soon it passed 3 million. At this time, there were far fewer calls to bid, only three or four.
" However, Meng Zitao also discovered that some heavyweights have not yet made an offer, such as the previous billionaire and Ding Zhiguo. I don¡¯t know whether they felt that the time had not come yet, or they also saw that there was something wrong with this lot.
"3.1 million!"
"3.18 million!"
"3.22 million!"
"3.25 million!"
The price increased alternately, and the two people who raised the price were actually the same two at the beginning, but their increase in price was not high anymore, and it is estimated that the price was about to reach their bottom line.
"Four million!" Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a big belly directly raised the price to 4 million.
Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao and Cheng Qiheng looked at each other, with meaningful smiles on their faces. Because this person who seems to be a big boss is actually a trustee hired by the organizer.
??This point, not to mention Meng Zitao and the others, has basically been seen by everyone present since the auction.
Speaking of which, this phenomenon is indeed a bit hateful, and if it is done too often, it will also affect the credibility of the auction.
However, businessmen are all profit-seeking. As the famous saying goes, if you have 50% profit, you will take desperate risks, if you have 100% profit, you will violate various laws, and if you have 300% profit, you will violate various laws. Profits even risk hanging.
Therefore, this kind of thing is not uncommon even in regular auction venues, let alone here. Therefore, as long as it is not excessive, everyone can ignore it.
Seeing that the bidder at the auction suddenly raised the price to four million, the two people calling out the bid turned back and glared. However, they actually knew in their hearts that this thing was worth five million, not to mention four million. not tall.
Someone may have said, in this case, why do the two of them fight so much? First of all, everyone has a lucky mentality. In addition, the main reason is that there is some hatred between the two people, which will cause them to be fighting each other. After fighting for a long time, no one won. Do you think they could not be angry?
The performance of the two people made everyone feel funny, but immediately, everyone started to get serious. There are very few people who can raise 4 million on the spot. It can be said that 4 million is a watershed.
For a moment, everyone was silent.At the end of the day, no one opened their mouths to bid, which made the auctioneer start to sweat on his forehead, thinking that the last thing might fall into his hands.
The auctioneer said: "Mr. Zhang bid 4 million! This is the cloisonn¨¦ Wenwang tripod made by the Qianlong Palace Manufacturing Office. It is made with exquisite craftsmanship and can be called the representative cloisonn¨¦ work of the Qianlong period. And the shape of the vessel is so huge, it is even rarer! Miss it! After this time, I don¡¯t know how long it will be before we meet again!¡±
Having said this, he looked around and continued: "4 million once 4 million twice 4"
"Five million!" The rich man from before finally spoke, and the sum was one million, which was amazing.
Seeing that someone finally made a bid, the auctioneer and Tuo breathed a sigh of relief. It was so exciting just now. Their hearts were still beating wildly and they couldn't calm down for a while.
With the bid from the rich man, the auction is on the right track again, with bids coming and going, but the bidders are very cautious every time they open their mouths, and they also observe the expressions of their competitors from time to time, trying to figure out something from them.
At this point, it is much more advantageous for those sitting in the front, because they can see the expressions of the people behind as long as they turn around. However, the seats in front were reserved for big customers, and Meng Zitao and the others couldn't sit there even if they wanted to. As for Zhang Jingqiang, although he also had the qualifications, he came too late.
As time went by, the price exceeded six million. At this time, Zhu Dachang began to quote for the first time:
"6.28 million!"
"Can I swipe my card later?" At this time, someone in the front row said.
The auctioneer smiled and shook his head, saying no.
Wang Menghan said: "It's really stupid. Even if you have money, you can't make it."
Cheng Qiheng smiled and said: "There are rules in the industry. Since this is the rule here, of course it cannot be broken easily. Otherwise, if it is the first time, there will be two and three, and the rules will be broken. Besides, they do this Starting a business is somewhat risky. You can make a lot of money, but it¡¯s not in vain if you lose your life. It¡¯s normal to be careful.¡±
While Cheng Qiheng was talking, Zhu Dachang and the rich man raised the price one after another, and soon it reached 6.5 million.
"6.8 million!"
Zhu Dachang spoke again. He looked at the rich man and the corner of his mouth twitched. It seemed that the price should be close to the limit of the rich man's cash.
This made him feel very proud, thinking, fortunately he had a reliable insider who told him in advance that there would be such an important weapon today, otherwise how could he have brought so much money here?
"7 million!"
Just when Zhu Dachang thought that this treasure was about to be put into his pocket, the sudden quotation made him choke. When he followed the voice, he saw that it was Zhang Jingqiang who made the voice, which made him very angry.
He was determined to get this thing, and he was fully prepared. He had just negotiated with a few acquaintances about borrowing money. He believed that no one at the scene could have as much cash as him. In this case, Zhang Jingqiang's joining was equivalent to cutting off his flesh, which made him resent Zhang Jingqiang in his heart.
"7.1 million!"
"7.8 million!"
Meng Zitao could guess what Zhang Jingqiang was thinking, but the price increase was so severe that he couldn't help but sweat in his hands. If Zhu Dachang didn't have enough money or stopped following him, he would be in big trouble.
"7.85 million!" Zhu Dachang's face was gloomy, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"8 million!" Zhang Jingqiang's expression remained unchanged, as if what he said was not money.
Seeing that the price doubled in just a moment, the auctioneer was so happy. When he saw Zhu Dachang pondering, he started to count the times again.
At this time, Zhang Jingqiang was still calm and composed, but Meng Zitao was a little unable to calm down. Looking at Zhang Jingqiang's expression, he smiled bitterly in his heart, maybe this is called the emperor's lack of urgency and the eunuch's anxiety. He is still too young in this regard.
Just when the auctioneer shouted "twice", Zhu Dachang turned around, looked at Zhang Jingqiang and said: "8.5 million, if Mr. Zhang pays more than this price, then this thing will be given to you!"
Zhang Jingqiang smiled and said: "Since Mr. Zhu is so determined to win, I will show off my style."
Zhu Dachang snorted coldly, turned his head back, and roared in his heart: "Fuck you Made, why didn't you know how to show off your style just now!"
The auctioneer didn¡¯t expect that the price would increase by another half a million, and he was so happy. This was all his achievement! Then, he looked around and found that no one was raising the price anymore, so he reported the number of times in accordance with the regulations and announced the deal.
Seeing that Zhu Dachang actually bought Wenwang Ding for 8.5 million, Meng Zitao was also happy. Although he had no grudges with Zhu Dachang, he would be very happy to do anything that could bring Xue Wenguang bad luck. See. Moreover, Zhu Dachang had supported Xue Wenguang in raising the price just now, and now he was even more happy with the outcome.
With the sale of the final lot, the auction also ended. Meng Zitao and others stood up, took the things they had just taken, and walked towards the door laughing and saying hello to acquaintances.
Since Meng Zitao has gained some limelight because of his pen holder, he also received a lot of business cards. This is also because he is relatively young and can achieve such a level now. In a few years, he is likely to become an expert. Therefore, everyone is happy to make a connection now.
