"This is a piece of jade carving made by the master Liu Weishan. As we all know, in recent years, few of Mr. Liu Weishan's works have been circulated in the world, especially among the people. Zuilu Academy, so Liu Weishan Old works have reached the point where they are priceless. Liu's works integrate ancient and modern Chinese and foreign techniques, showing extremely high artistic skills and extensive artistic accomplishment. They are a model of adapting the past to the present and adapting the foreign to China. In our country's jade In the history of sculpture, he has played a huge role in inheriting the past and ushering in the future. Over the past thirty years, he has created a novel and unique sculpture style, and his works are enthusiastically sought after by collectors at home and abroad," the auctioneer said.
The auctioneer's words caused a commotion in the audience! Many collectors from home and abroad come here for Liu Weishan's works at this auction. If the auction is genuine, they will not hesitate to spend money in exchange for what they love. But the problem is that everyone knows that very few of Liu Weishan's works have been circulated on the market, especially in recent years, there are even fewer of them! However, Huizhong Auction House actually took out six works of Liu Weishan this time, which is unprecedented in the history of auctions!
Moreover, there is actually an inkstone! You know, several pieces of jade pendants that have been circulated on the market have already fetched sky-high prices, so isn't this ink stone priceless
But the question is, who can guarantee the authenticity of these works? However, just when they were worried about this, the auctioneer threw out a huge reassurance stone, completely dispelling the doubts of these doubtful people.
"Of course, you don't have to worry about the authenticity of Mr. Liu's works in this auction! Because Mr. Liu is the chief appraiser of this auction, and every item in this auction has Mr. Liu's value. The appraisal book, and these works of Mr. Liu for auction were all authorized by Mr. Liu for the auction. Each piece of jade has Mr. Liu’s personal inscription, making these jade articles even more valuable as a collection!" Auctioneer Xu Xu said said. Zuilu Academy
"Wow!" There were bursts of exclamations from the audience! Handwritten inscription. What does this mean? This shows that these jade articles are not only authentic, but also more valuable!
With these doubts dispelled, those in the audience who were interested in Mr. Liu's works began to be eager to try it.
"The starting price for this jade pendant is half a million dollars." Because it is the first auction item. The price cannot be set too high, but even so, the price still makes Yang Ming speechless!
Oh my god, a jade pendant is twice the total value of the entire jadeite? And it’s the starting price. The real transaction price is definitely not half a million US dollars, it is estimated to be more than double that.
But Yang Ming still underestimated the influence of Liu Lao's works. The first person to call out the price directly called out the price to "one million US dollars."
Originally, Yang Ming wanted to be amazed, but it seemed as if the locals at the scene were used to it. No one thought it was abnormal at all, but continued to raise the price.
The price of the jade pendant has soared, reaching US$3.2 million! Yang Ming didn't expect these people to be so rich. And he is so enthusiastic about collecting.
Looking at Liu Weishan next to him, he seemed not to be interested in the final transaction price at all. He actually dozed off. When Chu Huifang saw Yang Ming looking over, she said with some embarrassment: "Old Liu is getting older, and he came to the south suddenly. He is a bit acclimatized. I didn't sleep well last night."
Yang Ming nodded. He took off his small windbreaker and gently covered Liu Weishandi. I didn't expect this to be a very common move. Chu Huifang was actually moved. Seeing Yang Ming nodding and smiling, she sighed that Yang Ming's godson was not in vain. Zuilu Academy
"Are our dad's works so valuable?" Xiao Qing was a little shocked by the price.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't expect it. It seems that there are so many rich people nowadays!"
The jade pendant's transaction price finally fell at US$3.36 million, and the auctioneer made the final decision. Yang Ming sighed secretly, just in a short time, he became a multi-millionaire.
The next auction was a vase from the Ming Dynasty. The transaction price was actually several million US dollars. There were also some oil paintings by famous painters and so on. Although the transaction price was not as high as Mr. Liu's jade pendant, it was still staggering.
In particular, several pieces of jewelry once collected by European royal families have been photographed for nearly 100 million US dollars!
Of course, because the identity of the auctioneer is kept confidential, Yang Ming doesn't know who can buy these things. In short, they are all very wealthy people.
and
Among the several works by Mr. Liu, none of the inkstones were sold for less than US$3 million, and they were even sold for a high price of US$6.8 million!
Because among these auction items, only the inkstone was engraved with his name by Mr. Liu, which made these wealthy businessmen even more crazy! Everyone knows that having this name or not makes a huge difference! It is now worth over six million US dollars. In a few years, it may be worth just as much!
Yang Ming is already petrified. How can he become a multi-millionaire? Converted to **RMB, it should be hundreds of millions? The gift Liu Weishan gave to him was really too big!
The morning's auction ended like this, and the afternoon auction was a mysterious auction. But those bosses who really buy what they want will basically not participate in the afternoon auction, because their goal has been achieved, and based on past experience, the afternoon auction is mostly for show, such as the auction of a small star. Underwear and the like, these people are big bosses with millions of dollars per second, so some people will leave in the afternoon auction.
However, there are also some curious people who come to the afternoon auction. These people are hard-core collectors. Ordinary collections are no longer worthy of their attention. Only unique and rare treasures can arouse their interest. .
These people are often the chiefs and leaders of some tribes, or members of the royal family, or the descendants of wealthy businessmen who grew up shouting golden keys. In any case, they are people who do not need to work and specialize in collecting for fun. They travel to mysterious auction houses around the world. Although they often go through several auctions without getting anything, they occasionally find some unique treasures.
Many of the people who came to Huizhong Auction House in the afternoon were like this. They each entered the VIP rooms they had booked. Because of their identities, these people did not want to attract the attention of the media, but it was not possible in the auction house. Sneak into the media. Mr. Zhong has implemented strict security, and everyone who can come in has a pass to the auction house!
Huang Rongjin is such a person. He was born as the second eldest son of a wealthy Chinese businessman in Singapore. He has not been interested in running a business since he was a child. He is only interested in collecting. His father and eldest brother also let him go like this. Anyway, the family has money. , and he is not afraid of losing his fortune.
Because there is no longer Huang Rongjin as his rival for power in the company, his brother Huang Rongtian gets along quite well with him. Huang Rongjin has also expressed to his brother many times that he will just want a part of the company's shares in the future and will not be the chairman or general manager. This is what eldest brother Huang Rongtian hopes to see most.
His younger brother doesn't know how to do business. If he comes in and messes around, he will mess up the company. Since he has no such intention, Huang Rongtian thinks this is a good thing.
The relationship between myself and my brother will not be as tense as in other big families due to power struggles. Therefore, he is also very supportive of his younger brother's collecting hobby.
Huang Rongjin casually opened the album that was given for free at the auction house and looked through it. He was shocked when he saw it! In this auction, six genuine items of Mr. Liu were sold in one morning!
This surprised Huang Rongjin, but he also regretted it. Why didn't he pay attention to this auction beforehand? But generally speaking, Mr. Liu’s works should be placed in major events like the mysterious auction house!
After asking about the price of starting a family, Huang Rongjin was even more troubled. One piece only cost more than three million US dollars. If he had known it, he would have come in the morning and covered all six pieces!
But there is no use regretting now! Huang Rongjin is also a fan of jade. He once saw a jade ring made by Mr. Liu at a friend's house and liked it very much. He promised five million dollars, but the friend still refused to sell.
This feeling of passing by made Huang Rongjin really helpless. However, Huang Rongjin is not stupid. In the ordinary auction in the morning, six genuine items of Mr. Liu were actually sold. This proves that there are things more valuable than this in the mysterious auction, the highlight of the afternoon!
Huang Rongjin, who has traveled to auction houses around the world, knows this truth very well. No auction house would be stupid enough to sell its grand finale in the morning!
Thinking of this, Huang Rongjin's eyes couldn't help but shine! Yes, he has strong expectations for this mysterious auction that is about to begin!
