Wang Shijie was not worried about some of the things that Hong Kong people supported Chen Yi. Instead, he was confidently prepared to prevent Chen Yi from getting this Flower God Cup at the auction.
Hong Kong is a place where there are always some people who can't stand Chen Yi, and some people will be attracted by the Flower God Cup, and these people don't care how big Chen Yi's background is.
At auctions, there is no difference in identity, only one rule, that is, those who have the highest price get it, and those who can't afford it, you are a loser and are not qualified to get the goods.
He is also a collector and knows the value of the official kiln flower god cup. Even if the folk kiln flower god cup appears in the auction market now, as long as it is from the Qing Dynasty, there is absolutely no such thing as a failure to sell it.
The Official Kiln Flower God Cup has never appeared in the auction market. He doesn't believe that others are not tempted. Compared with some Hong Kong rich people, Chen Yi is a mess.
He felt that even if he did not make any arrangements, this flower god cup would not be bidding for.
As for offending Chen Yi and some people in Hong Kong, Wang Shijie was really not worried. He successfully humiliated Chen Yi. After avenging Mr. Jim, he could return to Tielijian and accept a large amount of business. When he took control of the entire Wang Group and returned to Hong Kong, no one would mention this matter, because there is no eternal enemy in this matter, only eternal interests.
Time has come to the day when the auction is about to begin. Some media also mentioned this auction in newspapers or the Internet, and directly explained the importance of the Flower God Cup to Chen Yi. Moreover, it was mentioned above that Chen Yi also has two calligraphy pieces, which will be auctioned at this auction.
After seeing these media promotions, Wang Shijie became even more excited. The more important the Flower God Cup is to Chen Yi, perhaps the more some people participated in the auction. He really looked forward to Chen Yi being powerless when facing a sky-high Flower God Cup.
Yesterday, Mr. Jim also knew about this and told him to withstand the pressure and continue to auction. As long as Chen Yi cannot get the Flower God Cup and return to Tiellijian, he will definitely give him a batch of business.
The newspaper did not make any noise or apologize today. It just released the same news as other media as the general manager, because their general manager got some hints from friends that the auction most attracted the most today, not their apology. It was time for them to apologize after the auction ended.
Chen Yi seemed to be not concerned about today's auction, and still went to the stadium to draw horses. Now it has been ten days since the horse painting task was released, and there are still twenty days left.
Based on his current painting insights, drawing a horse painting with a slightly higher value is not a problem, but Chen Yi did not want to waste all his time in Hong Kong. Similarly, he did not draw horses just to fool the task.
When drawing horses on the racetrack, Chen Yi also met some horse owners and members, and greeted him one after another, and intentionally or unintentionally explored the authenticity of the news about the Chai Kiln porcelain.
Even those old men were unable to let Chen Yi reveal any news, let alone these people with weak skills.
Fortunately, he had already told many people about this on the phone yesterday, so not many people asked him today. Otherwise, if he wouldn't talk about drawing horses today, he would probably not be able to get out of the horse farm.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the time for the auction to begin, and the formal auction will be held at 6:30. Chen Yi did not dress too formally, but just wore a casual suit. With Xiao Shenghua, he came to the venue where the auction was held, a five-star hotel.
This auction will include two calligraphy works by Chen Yi and Wang Shijie's Flower God Cup, which can be said to have greatly increased the attention. Otherwise, this auction house that is not too famous in Hong Kong alone would not be able to pay attention and participate.
With the strength of this auction house, it is not even one-third of the strength of the Yazang Auction house opened by his senior brother Yang Qishen. As for ensuring the authenticity, it is even worse.
At the same time, the sudden news of the birth of Chai Kiln yesterday made the auction house busier. Many wealthy figures called them and asked for seat reservations. The number of people was jaw-dropping.
Although the empty seats left were not enough, it was not difficult for the person in charge of the auction house to give some less important bidders, which made many people voluntarily withdraw from the auction.
"Xiao Yi, I think it should be no problem to get the Flower God Cup in this auction." Xiao Shenghua said with a smile on the way to the auction hotel.
Chen Yi smiled, "Uncle Hua, I have to thank you for all this."
"Haha, this is not my slightest contribution, it is all your plan." Xiao Shenghua shook his head and said with a smile.
Since he came to Hong Kong, almost all Hong Kong people have known Chen Yi's name, especially in the celebrity circle. Chen Yi can be said to have become a celebrity, and all of this is Chen Yi's own plan.
"Whether the plan is successful depends on today." Chen Yi looked up at the car window and said slowly.
Soon, the two arrived at the auction site, a five-star hotel, parked the car, Chen Yi and Xiao Shenghua headed towards the hotel lobby together, but unexpectedly, they met Wang Shijie when they entered the door.
"Haha, Mr. Chen, I hope you can get what you want at the auction." Seeing Chen Yi, Wang Shijie mocked without hesitation. Since he had completely broken with Chen Yi, he was really not afraid of anything.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wang." Chen Yi smiled slightly, then walked inside with Xiao Shenghua, without saying anything like Wang Shijie.
Wang Shijie looked at Chen Yifeng's calm appearance and smiled coldly. After the auction began, he saw that you could still be so calm.
"Brother Chen, you and Brother Xiao are here to participate in the auction. I wish you two calligraphy products to be sold at a good price." At this time, a middle-aged man who was talking to his friends in the hall couldn't help but smile and say hello after seeing Chen Yi and the others.
Chen Yi nodded with a smile. After thanking him, he walked along the way with Xiao Shenghua, and many people greeted them.
Wang Shijie, who saw this situation, looked surprised on his face. Why did so many people say hello to Chen Yi, and some of them were famous.
But so what if you say hello? Chen Yi, you will definitely not get the Flower God Cup this time, and Wang Shijie showed an envious and jealous look on his face.
When entering the auction venue, Chen Yi and Xiao Shenghua each paid some deposits and obtained a license plate. At this auction, in addition to the Flower God Cup and his calligraphy, there were some good things.
Then, the people who participated in the auction came to the venue, found their seats, sat down, and talked in groups of three or three.
Many people involuntarily looked at Chen Yi when they were talking, as if there was a huge secret there.
However, these people who communicated were basically ordinary rich people, while those super rich people and some famous people sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the start of the auction.
Wang Shijie was also very confused. Along the way, he also heard some information. The Chai Kiln porcelain that had disappeared for thousands of years had reappeared. In addition, he also vaguely heard that Chen Yi seemed to have something to do with the Chai Kiln, which made him shake his head and smile. How could this be possible? Everything is just hype? These third-rate nouveau riche also believe that looking at the super rich people sitting quietly in their seats, you will know that the news is fake.
Chai kiln porcelain can be said to be the crown of Chinese porcelain. If it really appears, it would never release news as sneakily as it is now, making people ignorantly unaware of the truth and falsehood and make it public to the world. The effect will definitely be even more powerful.
The release of news in secret is enough to show that this matter is fake. Chai kiln porcelain has disappeared for thousands of years, so how could it suddenly appear? It's simply a joke.
He did not think about this matter, but just looked at some of the empty seats in the venue anxiously. When it was almost time to start, he was anxious to hold the phone and dial the number, but all of the numbers were busy.
This made Wang Shijie curse inwardly, "Damn it, I'll lose my links at the critical moment. If you don't want you, my plan will be successful."
With the arrival of 6:30, the gate of the venue was directly blocked, and the auction officially began.
At this time, at this noisy auction site, a sound of a hammer fell sounded, which made everyone come to their senses. "Everyone, welcome to the special auction of Chinese art held by Hong Kong Zhongyi Auction. At this auction, all the auctions will be of various fine antiques and artworks in China. I believe that they will not disappoint you. Please see the first item below."
After the auction sounded down, there was no nonsense and pointed directly at the big screen and said, "It was originally some welcome subtitles, but a picture of a jade piece had appeared. Below the picture there were some introductions to the antique information and the auction catalog number.
Nowadays, most antique auctions are conducted in this way using virtual pictures instead of physical objects to prevent any accidents during the auction process, and can save a lot of time and labor costs.
"Everyone, this is a white jade carving pen holder in the Qing Dynasty. It is ten centimeters long and takes white jade as material. The jade is warm and has a rockery shape. It is a smart and literary style. It is an elegant and playful thing on the desk of a literati. The starting price is 25,000 Hong Kong dollars, and each sign must not be less than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars." (To be continued)
