Chapter 2051: Watch out for those old foxes
After five rounds of bidding, this symbolism painting by Gustav was successfully sold.
The buyers who photographed this painting were two of Ye Tian’s classmates. They gave an offer of 145,000,600 yuan in unison, and luckily won the painting.
And Ye Tian set the upper limit of the auction price for this symbolist painting at 145,700 yuan, which is only one hundred yuan higher than the hammer price.
Once the results were announced, the two guys who won the bid immediately cheered and celebrated, and the rest of the buyers who passed by the painting were very regretful.
Especially the few guys who bid 145,800 yuan, sighed with regret, wishing to turn back time.
However, the auction result has been set and no one can change it. Everyone can only focus on the eight other antique works of art that will be unveiled one after another.
The third piece of antique art on sale is a pair of fine porcelains made during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The three-autumn cups of the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty are beautifully decorated.
This pair of Doucai Sanqiu Cups was originally collected by the Qing Palace. It was looted by the invaders more than a hundred years ago and has since been lost overseas. It was not returned to China until Ye Tian found it in Notting Hill, England.
No surprise, when the pair of Qing Yongzheng Doucai Sanqiu Cups appeared, it immediately caused a sensation, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the small and exquisite Sanqiu Cups.
Especially the top collectors and antique art appraisal experts who are on the scene, their eyes are shining one by one, staring at the pair of Sanqiu cups, wishing to directly take it for themselves!
As China's top collectors and antique art appraisal experts, each of them has a very high level of knowledge about the collection and appreciation of antique porcelain.
How rare and valuable this pair of Qing Yongzheng Doucai Sanqiu Cups is, they also know well that everyone wants to put this pair of small and exquisite cups in their pockets.
But unfortunately, they are not eligible to participate in this auction.
They can only find a way afterwards and contact the buyer who took the photo of the Sanqiu Cup to see if they can accept the Qing Yongzheng Sanqiu Cup and get what they want.
They are not the only people who play this pair of Sanqiu Cup ideas.
The several auction house managers who were also in the banquet hall, as well as those famous entrepreneurs with good collections, looked at the pair of Sanqiu cups with their eyes shining, one by one eyeing.
As before, while showing the pair of Qing Yongzheng Doucai Cups for the Three Autumn Festivals, Ye Tian also introduced the pair of antique porcelains and told the hidden stories behind the pair of porcelains.
When everyone heard that this was originally from the Qing Palace, it was plundered by the invaders more than a hundred years ago, and it has been lost overseas since then.
After telling the story, everyone became more interested in this pair of exquisite porcelains that have been branded from the old collection of the Qing Dynasty and have experienced hardships. They are gearing up one by one, and are determined to win!
The next bidding scene can be imagined.
Except for those professionals who can only watch by, and ignorant children, and the three who have already gained something before, the others are counted as one, all rolled up their sleeves and participated in the competition.
Of course, Ye Tian’s family is not included here. They all sit on the wall and watch the show.
It didn’t take long before the auction ended successfully.
There were four buyers who won in the end. They all agreed to bid 215,800 yuan to win the pair of Qing Yongzheng Doucai Sanqiu Cups.
The transaction price is shared among individuals, and each person only needs to pay more than 50,000 yuan to own a quarter of the right to the fine porcelain.
The result was released, and the scene was naturally lively again. Some people are happy, and more people are reaping it but regret.
Fortunately, there are still seven antique works of art in the back, and there are still opportunities, so everyone soon settled up and prepared to fight again.
Next is another antique from the Roman Empire, the fifth antique artwork is a calligraphy work from the mid-Qing Dynasty, and the sixth is a Western antique artwork....
In this way, one piece of Eastern and Western antique artworks appeared alternately, setting off a wave of craze in the banquet hall, gradually pushing the atmosphere of the scene.
The auction mallet in Ye Tian's hand was dropped six times in succession. Every time it was struck, an antique artwork was successfully sold, and there was a burst of excited cheers.
The buyers who successfully photographed these six antique artworks, either single-handedly, or two or three, or even more people together, jointly owned an antique artwork.
Inevitably, there were also many guests who made mistakes in their valuations and did not photograph any antique works of art. They were somewhat disappointed.
However, they are not returning empty-handed today. The souvenir they received before was a very nice surprise.
When the last western antique artwork was successfully auctioned and the notary public announced the upper limit of the transaction price on the spot, the second round of auction officially ended and the result was perfect!
Then, Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction platform, joked:
"Here, I think it is necessary to remind buyers who have successfully photographed antique art just now, be careful of those professionals in the banquet hall, those guys' eyes are almost red.
After everyone signs the auction confirmation contract, don't leave in a hurry. Come to me and ask the market value of the antique artwork you photographed. I will give a relatively reasonable valuation.
In this way, whether you are collecting the antique art that you photographed or selling it, you will have the bottom line. If you sell, if the buyer's bid is lower than the valuation, just ignore him!
Soon after the Spring Festival, this year’s spring auction will begin. You can also send those antique works of art to auction. As for the valuation given by me, it can be regarded as the auction reserve price! "
When he said this, Ye Tian also pointed his finger at the top collectors, antique art appraisal experts, and other professionals.
"hahaha"
There was a lot of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.
Amidst the laughter, those guests who were lucky enough to have photographed the antique artwork just nodded lightly, planning to go to Ye Tian later and ask him to give an estimate so that he could know what they were.
As for the professionals in the banquet hall, they all smiled helplessly, and pointed their fingers at Ye Tian on the stage.
got it! There is no bargain now!
If you want to accept those very good antique works of art just now, you have to come up with real money, all other tricks will not work.
After a few jokes, Ye Tian returned to the topic again, smiling and saying loudly:
"The second round of auctions has ended, and all the ten Eastern and Western antique works of art have been sold. Congratulations to friends who photographed those antique works of art. You are very lucky.
Friends who have not photographed those antique artworks, don’t regret it. There will be opportunities like this in the future. At the next public auction, the lucky person may be you! "
Following his words, the scene suddenly boiled.
"I'll go! Listen to Xiaotian's meaning, he will conduct such charity auctions in the future, is it true? This is too big!"
"The public welfare auctions of this scale are actually going to be held one after another. Ye Tian is the kid. If you change to anyone else, let's not talk about courage. Who has so many antique works of art!"
In the voice of the discussion, the disappointment and regret in the eyes of the guests who failed to bid before and did not photograph any antique artwork were wiped out in an instant!
was replaced by a look full of expectation.
Ye Tian is right, there is still a chance, the next time you are lucky, maybe it is yourself!
The professionals in the banquet hall were completely shocked by Ye Tian's remarks. They looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded one by one, with eyes full of incredible, wondering if there was a problem with their ears.
Waiting for the scene to be quieter, Ye Tian's voice was immediately uploaded from the stage.
"The next round of auctions will be the third round of auctions, only for the professionals present, and the rest of the guests should not participate. The auctioned antique art is also 10 pieces, and the East and the West are equally divided.
The auction rules are the same as the second one. For the first four rounds of bidding for each antique art, I call out the quotation, and the professionals who participate in the bidding decide whether to submit the price. The last round is free bidding.
The ten antique artworks sold in this round also have a transaction price ceiling, and I assure you that this transaction price ceiling must be lower than their market value, leaving room for operation and profit for everyone.
You are all experienced professionals. The value of the antique artworks you are auctioned is definitely not hidden from your eyes. When you see those antique artworks, you will know how to bid.
When free bidding, it’s the same as before. Let’s come to the table one by one, otherwise the scene will be messed up. After all buyers have given their quotations, I will announce the results of the bidding, and the winner will be clear at a glance.
If one person wins the bid, he will naturally own the antique artwork. If there are two or more people, the winning bidder shall equally share the rights and interests of the corresponding antique artwork, and jointly contribute funds and share the income.”
"No problem, Ye Tian, we accept these conditions, let's get started, everyone can't wait!"
"That's right, Ye Tian, hurry up and get started~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't know what is the first antique artwork to debut?"
Many professionals in the audience clamored, everyone looked like they couldn't wait, their eyes shining straight and full of expectation.
Everyone, including them, stared at the unopened boxes, painting tubes and bags, and portable safes on the stage, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
At this time, everyone is secretly guessing, what are the antique artworks that will be unveiled next, and how valuable it is!
Ye Tian glanced at the professionals in the audience, then smiled and said loudly:
"Everyone, stay calm, you will be able to see the first antique artwork on auction right away. I believe this antique artwork will bring you a surprise!"
As he said, Ye Tian nodded at the two company employees standing next to the auction table and asked them to display the first antique artwork.
Then, the two employees of the company took action. They picked up a box from the side of the auction table and placed it on the display table in front of the auction table.
Immediately afterwards, they opened the box with little wings, took out an antique porcelain from it, placed it gently in the center of the display table, and then stepped aside.
Almost as soon as this antique porcelain appeared, there was a clattering sound from the audience. The professionals who were invited to the wedding banquet pushed their chairs away and stood up.
Without exception, each of them had a shocked expression on their faces, dumbfounded!
