When Li Beizheng brought six ten-thousand-year-old clam beads to Baoyuan Auction House, the appearance of the ten-thousand-year-old clam beads shocked the jewelry appraisers and auctioneers of Baoyuan Auction House. A month ago, a three-year-old clam pearl
The appearance of a wild ginseng the size of a child surprised them. It was sold for more than 100 million yuan, and was widely circulated on the Internet for a while. Now the woman in front of them has made another clam bead of this size.
It was the first time I had seen large pearls and pearls as big as the mouth of a bowl. In surprise, a group of appraisers gathered around the six clam beads, like doctors consulting patients, and immediately
Identified the six super large clam beads in front of me,
Be cautious and cautious, and be serious and serious. The reason why they are so cautious and serious is because they all can’t believe that clam beads can grow so big, or they can’t believe their own eyes. Or in other words, they all feel that before their eyes
This pearl is fake.
But in the end, the identification result was that not only was the clam bead not fake, but it was a natural clam bead that was very well preserved.
Very rare! Very valuable!
Even the well-informed and cautious jewelry appraisers burst into exclamations at this time:
"How is this possible?"
"Tsk, tsk, judging from the size of this clam bead, it must have been produced within the body of a ten-thousand-year-old clam..." "Brother Wang, your words are a bit exaggerated. Human history is only a few years old, and that clam is older than the origin of mankind.
morning?"
"Why is it not possible? The super-large ginseng plant last time is a good example. China is a vast land with abundant resources, and treasures are everywhere."
"The way I see it, no matter how old the clam pearl is, once it is auctioned by the auction house, it cannot be derogatory or praiseful. It can only be auctioned based on the age of the clam of five thousand years. Otherwise, once it exceeds the history of mankind, it will be too
It was so shocking that not only could it not be photographed, but it also scared people away..." The elderly appraiser surnamed Wang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up and directly stated the interests.
"Well, I think that's the truth, and the low price can't be set too high, nor can it be set too low..."
After some discussion, the staff of the auction house finally negotiated with Li Beizheng and put forward this suggestion: the reserve price of a pearl can only be set at 200 million yuan**.
………
Li Beizheng did not raise any objection.
Two hundred million was the base price Zhang Cheng offered Li Beizheng, which was just in line with the budget.
Although Ten Thousand Years Pearl is a rare commodity, it is not a good idea to display it at home. On the contrary, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Zhang Cheng doesn’t like collecting, so it is best to sell it! At the auction, there were many people present, and as the
After a wave of collecting craze spread in society, antiques, jades, medicinal herbs, calligraphy and paintings have gradually become collectors' items.
The perspective of enthusiasts, of course, jewelry is no exception. Among jewelry categories, pearls are definitely the most popular items, especially for foreigners. They say that the East appreciates jade and the West appreciates pearls. This is true.
, however, with the development of society and the gradual opening of minds, Chinese people have also become extremely interested in jewelry.
The number of people who collect jewelry is gradually doubling.
Ten thousand year pearls shine brightly at auctions. There is no doubt about this.
On the morning when the auction started, the Baoyuan Auction House was crowded with major radio stations, newspapers, and reporters in Jiangcheng. The auction site was even more crowded with collectors and experienced people, wearing suits and leather shoes with stern eyebrows.
The men, the women with exquisite make-up and good temperament, and the white-haired old man, who occasionally reveal the world's most expensive watches are shocking...the identities and backgrounds of these people are unknown, but they are definitely not poor.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the auction was held as scheduled, and the scene was in full swing.
"Xixia brown sleeve small mouth jar. Low price (10,000)"
Following the auctioneer's shout, the waiter on the side placed a green seal on the stage.
"I'll pay 290,000."
"Three hundred thousand."
"Three hundred and twenty thousand."
"Is there anyone who offers a higher price... 320,000 once, 320 twice, 320,000 times... good... deal."
The auctioneer's gavel hit hard
…
A small jar that looked ordinary enough, but because of its age, was finally auctioned for 320,000 yuan.
"A pair of chicken fat yellow jadeite bracelets... The base price is 1.6 million, the auction is starting now..." As the host shouted, the waiter brought two yellow bracelets to the stage. The two jadeite bracelets were fully integrated.
It's yellow and looks a bit inelegant.
But here are all knowledgeable people who know how valuable this bracelet is, so there are still many bidders:
"I will pay 1.8 million."
"One million and nine hundred thousand..."
"Two million and one million..." a white-haired old man shouted fiercely.
"Two million and eight hundred thousand!" a big fat man dressed as a businessman shouted, and secretly said proudly: "Damn, I'm asking for a lucky number... good luck in the coming year."
After the big fat man yelled, there was no sound from below. Any higher would be beyond the estimate.
"Is there anyone who offers a higher price... 2.8 million once, 2.8 million twice, 2.8 million three times... a deal!"
One beat to settle the note!
At this time, it was already the end of the auction. The auctioneer suddenly paused, as if he was brewing emotions, and then shouted with a loud voice and an exaggerated expression: "Five thousand clam beads...the reserve price is 200 million."
."
As he shouted these words, the waiter on the side struggled to hold a tray. On it was a clam bead as big as the mouth of a bowl. It was round, smooth, and shiny, and looked as big as a three-year-old child.
Suddenly, the entire audience was stunned. After three seconds of silence, everyone burst out with incredible voices:
"Wow, it's so big! Did I make a mistake..."
A fat middle-aged man immediately sounded suspicious.
"No, there are such big clam beads?" A woman in her fifties sitting in the back row adjusted the myopia glasses on her eyes.
"Oh~ Mai Gao! If this clam is real, based on its size, it should be tens of thousands of years old!" An old foreign man with gray hair and a red face and a big nose muttered secretly.
As soon as the ten-thousand-year-old clam bead came out, an expected scene appeared. Although the auction house deliberately shortened the clam's age, its visual impact still ignited the atmosphere of the scene. At this time, everyone present just expressed their surprise.
and questioned, but no one bid. Because no one really believed that there were still five thousand years of clams in the world.
Seeing this situation, the auctioneer was not impatient and shouted in a loud voice: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to my explanation."
The discussion at the scene gradually subsided.
The auctioneer explained slowly: "Everyone, maybe you are shocked by this five-thousand-year-old clam bead. In fact, it is not only you, but also me. When I saw this giant clam bead for the first time, I fell into deep love.
Deeply shocked, I found it unbelievable and thought it might be a forgery. However, since our Baoyuan Auction House dares to put this clam bead up for auction, we can definitely guarantee that the clam bead’s real and reliable surname is.
Of course, I am not the one who has the final say on whether the clam beads are authentic or not. Mr. Wang Wenbang and Mr. Li Jiangyu, our most professional jewelry appraisal experts in Baoyuan, have also specially invited Mr. Yu Mingyou from the largest jewelry store in Jiangcheng for this purpose.
After careful appraisal, so many jewelry experts have unanimously determined that this clam bead is not only a natural clam bead, but also that the clam is definitely over five thousand years old, so please feel free to bid actively..."
After listening to the auctioneer's words, there was another discussion below. This time, no one questioned the outrageously large clam pearl above. Because Baoyuan Auction House is not only the oldest auction house in Jiangcheng, but also the oldest auction house in Z
The country is also on the list
, the most trustworthy jewelry store, not to mention that there are so many senior jewelry appraisers and famous experts in the industry who personally identify the pearls. If the clam beads are fake, then not only will their original value and reputation be lost, but these experts will also lose their reputation.
Reputation in disgrace.
After some discussion, someone finally started bidding:
"I'll give you two hundred and three million." The first bidder was obviously testing, and maybe he still had some undecided feelings about the clam bead.
In fact, everyone has the same mentality. Now is the period when jewelry collection is booming, and the clam bead in front of me is obviously the largest clam bead in country Z and even the world. It is not as oval-shaped as the Dinghai Shenzhen, and it is also mottled.
Its appearance was round, quite delicate and pleasing to the eye, so everyone gave up their worries and the bidding started enthusiastically:
"I will pay 250 million..."
"Two hundred and ten million..."
"Two hundred and twenty million..."
"Two hundred and fifty million!" a middle-aged gentleman in the front row shouted directly. He felt that no one could compete with him at this price.
Sure enough, no one bid for a long time.
The auctioneer also thought that the bidding was over, so he shouted: "This gentleman has offered 250 million, is there anyone else who can offer a higher price?"
"I offer 260 million!" A young lady raised the price by 10 million. If you observe carefully, you will find that although this woman is young, she is not a local or a pure Z-country person, but a blue woman with a sharp nose.
A hybrid with eyes, those who participated in the last auction still remember this extraordinary woman. She bought the agarwood bed for 500 million. Later, I heard that she made 100 million when she resold it.
The middle-aged man from before was very annoyed when the woman called out the price. As a businessman and collector, he just saw the beautiful appearance and impressive wealth of this clam bead. Unexpectedly, a woman only asked for a thousand more.
Ten thousand. At this time, he said unconvinced: "Two hundred and eighty million."
Two hundred and eighty million was shouted out, but for a moment no one bid, so the auctioneer shouted: "Is there anyone else who bids higher, okay, no..."
Before he could say "yes", the mixed-race woman shouted again: "Two hundred and ninety million."
"Okay, this lady is 290 million. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?" the auctioneer immediately shouted.
The middle-aged man in the front row turned back and glared at the mixed-race woman, and shouted angrily: "I'll pay 300 million."
After the price was announced, there was a period of silence, followed by a whispering discussion. Obviously, everyone was discussing whether this ginseng king, which was said to be six years and a thousand years old, was worth 300 million. At this moment, a
The old man with gray hair and a Tang suit said to a young woman next to him: "Okay, those grandpas are asking for a price of 330 million."
The young woman was startled: "Grandpa, is this clam pearl really five thousand years old? Is it really worth more than 300 million?" "Son, grandpa has collected pearls all his life, and you still can't see them. Let's bid..." The young woman nodded in understanding,
Then he shouted loudly: "Three hundred and thirty million!"
After the price was announced, the mixed-race woman shouted again: "Three hundred and forty million." It can be seen from the woman's bidding that she neither competes nor bets, and clearly turned collecting into speculation. But at this time, the old man
The young woman next to him shouted again at the old man's instruction: "Three hundred and eighty million."
Everyone let out a low wow, obviously feeling that the price was actually a bit high. After the price of 380 million was announced, not only did the middle-aged man in the front row dare not bid any more, but the mixed-race woman also became speechless.
Thin red lips, no more bids.
The auctioneer said in an excited tone: "Is there any higher price... is it gone? Three hundred and eighty million once, three hundred and eighty million twice, three hundred and eighty million three times... Okay!"
Deal!" The auction hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell heavily.
One beat to determine the tone. (To be continued.)
