Chapter 2365 Three old people love billions of dollars
"What a piece of white jade seal." Cui Jiandong said. "The quality is no less than the Twenty-Five Treasures of the Qing Dynasty."
"Yes, come to think of it, even Emperor Qianlong must have loved this seal." Director Sun of the Capital Museum turned to look at Cui Jiandong and Director Yue of the China Museum with a smile.
"Lao Cui, Lao Yue, please give me this thing. The Capital Museum still lacks such a precious seal."
"Old Sun, this is not right. Apart from Lao Cui, who else has a lot of such good things?" Director Yue of the China Museum was unwilling.
Although Cui Jiandong was thinking about it, he thought about the golden Buddha next. He sighed and could only take a regretful look. "That's it, that's all, you can discuss this."
"Three deans, look at this thing, right?" Han Tao, even though he had someone identify it, there is no doubt that the thing is genuine.
"Xiao Han, you are using our old guy's reputation to do business." Old Sun looked at Han Tao with a smile.
"It depends on what you said, Dean Sun. I am not short-sighted and can't understand." Han Tao said with a smile. "This time, please ask a few highly respected deans to help check."
"This little Han, what he said is beautiful." Cui Jiandong said with a smile. "The golden Buddha will have to be merciful in a while."
Han Tao smiled and nodded, and Dean Yue said with a smile. "Don't embarrass me, Xiao Han. The things are undoubtedly genuine."
"Not only is it genuine, but it is also rare and exquisite. The jade quality reaches the top level of Hetian white jade, which is rare and rare." Dean Sun added.
Cui Jiandong said with a smile. "What you two said is correct, not to mention the carving work. The palace manufacturing office has exquisite workmanship. This is a rare national treasure."
With that last sentence, everyone below was excited to collect it one by one. With these three deans, the value of this thing would double.
"Is this thing really so good?" Wu Xiaofan whispered. "Sister Zhao, why don't we take a photo of it for fun."
Zhao Yanzi glanced at Wu Xiaofan and curled her lips secretly, "Just take a look at your worth."
"She looks really pretty." Wu Xiaofan secretly thought to himself. He didn't stand out this night, but it seems that he can stand out now.
On the stage, Han Tao smiled and asked several old experts to come down and take a rest. "Everyone, this treasure, which Emperor Qianlong has visited for a long time, is made of Hetian white jade. It is 12.5 centimeters wide and 6.65 centimeters high. It has a coiled dragon buckle.
, several deans have just appraised it, and it is undoubtedly authentic."
Han Tao, this auction is actually different from ordinary big auctions. Things have been appraised by experts in advance. This kind of on-site appraisal is unique. Regular auctions, especially in big auction houses, are absolutely rare. Of course, there are black markets.
Auctions do not count.
However, this time, no auction house felt that Han Tao was negligent. This was done beautifully. The three deans, who are the authoritative figures in the entire cultural relic collection and appraisal industry, cheered. For these auction houses,
It's definitely a big deal if you come here.
Not to mention, the on-site appraisal is a huge honor. Han Tao is very happy. With these three words, his position in Rongbao Auction House is definitely stable. There may be other big auction houses competing for it.
They are scrambling to find themselves.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Everyone is waiting in a hurry. This treasure, which is the most precious treasure of the Supreme Emperor, has a base price of five million." Han Tao raised his hand and said.
"Not bad, not bad." Wu Xiaofan thought to himself, the price is not high. "Eight million."
Wu Xiaofan, with a proud look on his face, made a bid, which made Gao Tingting and Zhang Xiaohui scream excitedly. "Xiaoxiao, I saw it, Xiaofan made a bid, he's so handsome."
"What's so handsome about this guy? I think he's really stupid." Liu Xiaoxiao pouted. He's handsome but has no brains. He's not as good as Li Han.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Xiaoxiao felt that Li Han was quite handsome, at least he wouldn't do such mindless things.
I don’t see it, no one is bidding. Whoever bids first, it’s too low, and you’ll be laughed at. If it’s too high, you don’t understand the auction culture.
"Sister Zhao, you don't bid." Wu Xiaofan, seeing that he made a bid but didn't actually bid, felt a little regretful. He didn't know how to do this, so it wasn't worth the money.
"Haha, I don't know much about collecting." Zhao Yanzi said in her heart.
"Fifteen million."
A faint voice sounded from not far away.
"Who, you added so much at once." Wu Xiaofan was a little unhappy, but when he turned around and saw, he immediately shut up and stopped talking. He knew this man, Wu Xiaofan, and was worth tens of billions of dollars. He could crush his existence with the move of his fingers.
Zhao Yanzi smiled. "Stop bidding."
Wu Xiaofan, nodded, be honest, this is not a place for celebrities to play in the first place, just stay here, otherwise you will make a fool of yourself.
"Mr. Ma, fifteen million."
"Twenty million."
"Twenty million from Wang Dong."
"..."
"50 million"
"..."
"One hundred million."
"Ah." Wu Xiaofan was stunned.
100 million, how could it be? The low price of 5 million, how could it reach 100 million? This is not over yet. As the bids get higher and higher, 150 million will soon be reached. The final transaction price reaches a terrifying two points.
Three hundred million.
Of course, according to normal times, Fang Yuxi's worth would be around 160 million at most, but with the three deans, his net worth doubled, suddenly reaching 230 million. This was definitely something Li Han did not expect.
"So high?"
Li Han was also a little dazed.
Liu Mingxiao said. "Of course, if there are three deans, an increase of tens of millions is not a trivial matter."
"In this case, I am not at a loss. Those porcelains in front were all authenticated by Quan Lao." Li Han said with a smile.
Liu Ming was speechless. "Do you think that the deans will casually come on stage to appraise this kind of auction house? You, these deans think that the Golden Buddha may owe you, otherwise, if you don't say
Han Tao, the boss of Rongbaozhai can’t even recruit several deans.”
When Li Han thought about it, it was true that these few people, regardless of their status in the circle, were definitely top-notch people. Not to mention they could be counted on one hand, at least within ten.
"The deans are interested." Li Han really didn't expect it.
"hehe."
"Han, this jade seal of yours has broken the auction record of Qianlong's jade seal. I don't remember that there has never been a jade seal that has exceeded 200 million." Liu Mingxiao said.
"That's really a happy thing." Li Han asked with a smile. "I don't know, what is the highest auction record in China?"
"Chinese art, let me think about it." Liu Ming didn't pay too much attention to these, but he knew something about it. "I remembered that on November 11 last year, the London auction house Bainbridges was in a warehouse outside London.
At a private heritage auction, a multi-color glaze hollowed-out "Auspicious Days More" vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was sold for 51.6 million pounds, almost 550 million pounds."
As he said this, an auctioneer from the auction house next to him smiled and said, "This gentleman is right, but this record may be broken this year."
"oh?"
Li Han looked back at the middle-aged man.
"I heard that an auction house collected a Yuan Dynasty blue and white plum vase of Xiao He and Chasing Han Xin under the Moon. There are only three of these Yuan blue and white plum vases in the world. One is a treasure in the Jinling Museum, and the other is
His whereabouts are still unknown." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Oh, sir, the information is very good." Liu Ming smiled half-heartedly.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is joking. Coincidentally, I contacted you about this auction."
"Haha, it seems that you know us." Liu Ming said with a smile.
Li Han didn't find it strange. "I am Liang Jixin of CITIC International Auction Company in Macau." He said and handed over his business card.
Li Han smiled at Liu Ming and looked at him. Without saying much, he expressed everything he wanted to express.
"Mr. Liang came in person, which is rare." Liu Ming smiled and took the business card.
"Mr. Liu is joking, this golden Buddha is rare in the world." Liang Jixin said with a smile.
"It's about to begin."
Li Han smiled. Mr. Liang might have come to see how many photos he could take of this golden Buddha.
You know, as you just said, Liang Jixin plans to shoot a big photo shoot this autumn that will shock the world, and he also plans to break the record.
There are only three Yuan blue and white pieces of Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon. According to the current Yuan blue and white market, it is very likely to be sold for hundreds of millions, even more than the Qianlong revolving vase. It is not impossible.
However, unexpectedly, a unique golden Buddha suddenly appeared. How could Liang Jixin not be worried?
Li Han smiled and said nothing. Liu Ming was not interested in these things. Liang Jixin looked at the two of them indifferently, with a smile on his lips. As long as he did not deliberately create a big deal, Liang Jixin was relieved.
According to Liang Jixin's estimation, the auction price of this Golden Buddha should be around 500 million, especially since internal news said that it is collected by the Palace Museum. Everyone who wants to collect it has got the news, and there will be no excessive bidding during the auction.
The auction started with a base price of 95 million yuan. It can be said that this starting price is definitely the highest among domestic starting prices.
You know, many auction items with a transaction price of hundreds of millions have a starting price of only around 10 million. It makes sense that the starting price of the Golden Buddha is so high. This is a golden Buddha inlaid with gems. The price alone is not high at 95 million.
.
For the first time, Wu Xiaofan felt how ridiculous his seemingly huge income was.
"One hundred and fifty million."
"Two hundred and fifty million."
Wu Xiaofan, before he realized it, the price here was over 300 million.
"Is this too much?"
"Haha, this is a rich man's game." Zhao Yanzi smiled.
Molika frowned slightly, the price had risen too fast, much faster than she had expected.
Tengku Baan, Hussein, and Black Wind also frowned a little. "Five hundred million."
The sudden bidding made the scene quiet down, and the price was directly raised to 200 million. This is not to say unique, but it is also extremely rare. It can even be said that it is rare.
"Who is this?"
"What a nonsense."
"No, 500 million, you really don't treat money as money."
"Is it Tuo?"
"Old Cui, who is this?" Dean Sun and Dean Yue asked Cui Jiandong with some confusion.
"They are from the Malay side."
"He is from the Patton family." Tengku Baan frowned slightly. Tengku Baan knew this person.
"It's exciting now." Liu Ming smiled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
