Chapter 0063: Auction
Auction house?
Chu Nan didn't expect that Feng Le's sister-in-law would have such a suggestion.
When Feng Le saw his sister-in-law disappearing quickly, he looked at Chu Nan and said with a smile.
"Chun Nan, my sister-in-law is right. We took the two pieces of jade to Feng's Auction House for auction. After bidding, the price was indeed much higher than the usual price sold to other people. Now the two pieces of jade are still the best.
In the case of raw jade, more wealthy businessmen are willing to buy it back at a high price and have it carved by themselves."
"That's great!"
"However, in addition to the Feng family's valuable items that are auctioned through Feng's Auction House, other private individuals or merchants who rely on Feng's Auction House to bid will have to deduct one percent of the intermediary fee."
"That's not high!"
Because Feng's auction only started at eight o'clock in the evening, it is only around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Feng Le suggested that people send the two pieces of jade to Feng's auction, and then attend the auction at eight o'clock.
Uncle Chen will have people arrange all this.
Those two pieces of jade were extremely valuable, and even though the Feng family was so big, they didn't dare to swallow them privately.
"Chun Nan, I'll take you to dinner first."
Feng Le said with a smile.
The two of them still headed to Jinling Hotel.
However, this time Chu Nan ordered something other than rich meat dishes.
When the two were eating and chatting, Feng Le looked at him and said.
"Chun Nan, virgin, you must still be a chick."
"What?"
Chu Nan is indeed still a virgin, but is he not ashamed of it?
At his age, this is usually the case, except for those children of wealthy officials who started messing around in their teens.
"I said you are still a virgin. After the auction is over, I will take you to a place you will never forget."
In fact, Chu Nan also guessed it without Feng Le saying it in detail.
"Why don't you go?"
"Haha, you are a multi-millionaire now, what else is there to be ashamed of?"
By the time the two of them finished eating and drinking, it was already close to seven o'clock.
Feng's Auction is located in the lobby on the second and third floors of Feng's Building. It takes more than half an hour to drive from Jinling Hotel.
When Chu Nan and the others arrived at Feng's Building, it was already close to 7:40, less than 20 minutes before the auction.
"Actually, Feng's Auction House in Jinling is only a medium-sized auction, and it is also a private fixed-time auction."
Feng started his business by making antique jades, so he usually receives antique jades, calligraphy and paintings, and various valuable collectibles that are not precious.
Therefore, antique jade paintings and calligraphy are often sold at high prices through auctions, and gradually a fixed-time private auction is formed in the industry.
If some wealthy businessmen want to sell off their property and entrust all their collections to be auctioned, Feng's Auction House can also hold irregular auctions if it receives fixed auction funds or agency fees.
In short, it's all about money.
When Chu Nan followed Feng Le into the auction hall, it was about 800 square meters, which really didn't look very big.
However, in fact, this auction is connected to the second and third levels.
When the Feng Building was designed, I may have already thought of it. Therefore, it was designed in advance. Now when I see the decoration and hierarchical structure of the auction house on the upper and lower floors, there is no sense of violation.
On the contrary, the interior has the same antique decoration, which is completely opposite to the grand building outside.
Feng Le took Chu Nan to find the Feng family's fixed location at the auction and sat down.
This location is pretty good. You can see the surroundings of the auction, the center, and the screen showing the collection.
"Master Feng, Master Chu, this is the list for this auction."
When Chu Nan took it and looked through it, in addition to the more than twenty auction lists, there were also jade stones that had just been added.
Because the price is relatively rare compared to Jinling, it is the final item.
"If you like the auction items above, you can pay more after bidding."
Feng Le looked at him and said.
"Let's just take a look."
Chu Nan didn't understand the value of the collectibles above, let alone collect them, so there would be no use in auctioning them off.
When it was close to eight o'clock, people came in intermittently.
Seeing how those people were dressed, they were all wealthy people or lovers of collectibles.
However, what surprised Chu Nan was that a familiar figure walked in.
Rice candy.
The young woman whom she called a aunt still looked so aloof.
Chu Nan could see that the biggest difference in personality between Mi Tang and Feng Biru was.
One is always serious and inhumane.
A person who is always cold and thousands of miles away from others.
However, it was just a misunderstanding. Chu Nan only met her once and didn't think anything of it.
However, since the other party was young, Chu Nan felt that if the other party was not born in a wealthy family, then he was someone with some other special status.
At 8:15 in the evening, in the middle of the auction, a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit stood there.
According to Feng Le's introduction, this Uncle Zhong was also a talent recruited by the Feng family.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's auction has begun. The first auction collection is an ancient Taishi chair acquired by the Feng family from Southeast Asia. According to the introduction of the original owner and the investigation and appraisal of Feng's antique shop
, that ancient chair was lost in the early Republic of China. It turned out to be the Taishi chair once used by Zuo Zongtang, and the main raw material was Hainan Huanghuali."
Uncle Zhong opened the central screen and introduced it through detailed pictures and information.
Chu Nan didn't expect that an ancient Taishi chair could be auctioned like this.
Chu Nan had heard about Zuo Zongtang, and it was often not easy to attach items related to celebrities, not to mention that this was Zuo Zongtang, one of the four famous celebrities in the late Qing Dynasty and the Zhongxing Dynasty.
"The starting price starts at one million yuan, and each increase is 100,000 yuan."
Hainan's huanghuali originally had a price but no market now, so it is very precious. In addition, it is an ancient Taishi chair owned by a famous person, which makes it even more precious.
Soon, Chu Nan saw for the first time the wealthy people below vying for bids.
"One million and two hundred thousand."
...
"Two million two hundred thousand."
Chu Nan didn't expect that it would rise to more than two million in a short period of time.
"Three.8 million."
Downstairs on the second floor, a fat middle-aged man held up a sign and shouted.
"Three million and eight hundred thousand, the first time."
"Three million and eight hundred thousand, the second time."
"Three million and eight hundred thousand, the third time."
When Uncle Zhong settled down, he was already sure that the middle-aged man No. 19 had successfully bid.
"I think it must be a descendant of the Zuo family who bought it back."
Feng Le said.
After all, Zuo Zongtang was a famous person in the Zuo family. Nowadays, the descendants of the Zuo family, mainly because their families have some money, must buy back the items he used originally and leave them to future generations.
