Chapter 206: Undoubtedly, the sky-high price
Chapter 206: Undoubtedly, the sky-high price
Half an hour later, the auction officially began.
Su Meng and Zhu Feifei found the seats corresponding to the cards in their hands.
This was her first time attending an auction.
But now I have more or less understood the rules of this organizer.
Those who spend the most here will have higher seat numbers.
Zhu Feifei whispered in her ear: "Do you want me to hold up the sign?"
Generally speaking, the role of an assistant is to do these things.
Including her immediate boss, Mr. Xu.
I also came here with clients.
Su Meng nodded and handed the sign in her hand to Zhu Feifei.
Sitting in her seat, she became more and more nervous as the auction progressed.
The lights from the auction venue fell into the spacious hall.
Illuminate every corner.
There are exquisite works of art hanging on the walls, which make people unable to take their eyes away.
A red velvet carpet stretches from the entrance to the auction table.
A staff member wearing a dark green cheongsam with buttons and her hair tied behind her head walked up to the auction stage.
She had delicate makeup on and looked at everyone present with a smile on her face.
The auctioneer tapped the microphone, then smiled and nodded slightly to the guests in the audience: "Dear guests, welcome to this grand auction.
Today, we gather here to witness the brilliant display of countless art treasures and rare treasures.
Each lot carries the memory of history, the soul of art and endless value.
Let us start this unforgettable auction journey together."
“Distinguished guests, we are going to this grand auction.
Today, we gather here to witness the splendid blooming of countless art treasures and rare jewels.
Each item carries the memory of history, the soul of art and endless value.
Let's start this unforgettable auction journey together."
(Hehehe, just writing for fun~~)
"Next, our first lot."
“A blue and white porcelain vase from an imperial kiln.”
A staff member, wearing black gloves, came out of the passage pushing a cart.
On the cart, there was a rectangular mahogany box.
The staff slowly opened the box and carefully transferred the vase to the auction table.
All lights went out.
A unique beam of light shone down.
The antique vase stands quietly on the auction table, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
It is about thirty centimeters high, and the bottle has a graceful streamlined shape with smooth and natural lines.
The material of the vase is delicate and warm, and it sparkles with a warm luster under the light.
The unique blue and white porcelain, the blue patterns spread across the bottle like a dream.
The pattern on the bottle is extremely exquisite, depicting a landscape painting.
In the distance are rolling mountains shrouded in clouds and mist.
The mountain waterfall cascades down, and you can even clearly see the splashing water.
The rim of the vase is slightly turned outward, with simple lines.
The neck of the bottle is slender and decorated with some delicate patterns.
The staff carefully picked up the vase and rotated the bottom so that everyone present could have a 360-degree view.
The bottom of the vase holds the entire vase steadily, and some ancient words and patterns are engraved on it.
After years of baptism, it is still clearly visible.
The blue pattern of the entire vase contrasts with the white background, making it fresh and refined.
Every detail is handled just right.
Whether it is the outline of the lines or the matching of colors, they all demonstrate the superb skills and unique vision of the ancient craftsmen.
The staff carefully placed the vase back on the auction table.
“Dear guests, what is now presented to you is a blue and white porcelain vase from an ancient official kiln.
The bottle is painted with exquisite patterns in bright colors and is well preserved.
This piece has extremely high historical and artistic value. The starting price is 5.5 million yuan, and the bid increment is 100,000 yuan each time. "
As soon as the words fell, someone in the venue immediately raised a sign.
Su Meng looked at the vase on the big screen, feeling calm.
There are several of these in the lobby of the villa...
"Five million six hundred thousand!"
"Five. million!"
A woman's voice came from another corner. She raised her chin slightly, and her eyes revealed confidence.
The woman was wearing a gorgeous purple evening gown and sitting there elegantly.
Not far from them, a white-haired old man sat quietly.
The old man was wearing a traditional Chinese robe. He looked serene, but his eyes were fixed on the vase.
As the price continued to rise, he just narrowed his eyes slightly.
No bidding, just watching.
Some bidders were whispering to each other, discussing the value and price trend of the vase.
Some people looked hesitant, as if they were weighing whether to continue bidding.
Some people watched this fierce competition with excitement.
The price continued to rise, and each bid was like a bombshell, causing a commotion in the venue.
"Seven million eight hundred thousand."
The woman was not willing to be outdone. She stared at the auctioneer closely, as if waiting for his response.
"Eight million."
The old man finally made a bid. His expression was calm, but his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.
This fierce competition made everyone hold their breath.
Everyone is paying attention to who will eventually end up with this precious antique vase.
"Eight million and two hundred thousand."
The middle-aged man was talking on the phone and then raised the sign again.
The woman hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not bid again.
The old man continued to look at the auctioneer calmly, but did not bid again.
"Eight million two hundred thousand for one time, eight million two hundred thousand for two times, eight million two hundred thousand for three times! Deal!"
As the auctioneer's voice fell, warm applause broke out in the venue.
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh and a victorious smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and nodded slightly to the people around him.
Then he sat down and continued to whisper something into the phone.
Zhu Feifei seemed to see the doubt in her eyes and explained in a low voice: "Some bosses don't have time to come to the auction site.
They’ll send their assistants.”
Su Meng finally understood.
No wonder many people at the scene were wearing headphones.
Could it be that all of these people are here to replace the boss?
The next few items, without exception, were all calligraphy and paintings and antiques.
Su Meng was not very interested.
But she still enjoyed watching the auctioneer.
Very feeling!!
The auction lasted for nearly an hour, and finally it came to the part that Su Meng was looking forward to.
The auctioneer smiled mysteriously and said, “Next, we will present to you an extremely rare ten-carat pink diamond.
This pink diamond is pure in color and dazzling in brilliance.
Its cutting craftsmanship is exquisite, and each cut surface reflects brilliant light, presenting different beautiful scenes when viewed from different angles.
The starting price is 15 million yuan, and the increment is 200,000 yuan each time. "
The box slowly opened, and the dazzling light instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The pink diamond lies quietly on the black velvet cloth, emitting a charming pink glow.
The bidders' eyes lit up and they were all attracted by the beauty of this pink diamond.
"Wow, this pink diamond is so beautiful!"
"Ten carats, and the purity is so high, it's rare to come across one!"
“Indeed, this pink diamond is of very high quality and the cut is perfect.”
"Undoubtedly, it's a sky-high price."
