While the veterans are still feeling regretful, the second wave of competition in the field has begun.
Even though there are only two people competing, Anthony and Nakata Yota, the back and forth between you and me is still fierce.
After several rounds of bidding, it has reached 650 million.
It was already worth every penny when we got here, but the two of them still changed hands frequently, which made everyone sigh.
660 million.
670 million.
After a few more moves, Nakata Yota called out 700 million without changing his expression.
Anthony has become a black-faced Mr. Bao.
He glared at Tian Youta fiercely, threw away the number plate in his hand and left directly.
Shh.
Anthony's obviously unplayable move drew a round of boos.
"Mr. No. 65 offered 700 million dollars. Is there anything higher than 700 million dollars?"
"any left?"
"Seven hundred million cuts at a time."
"Seven billion dollars"
"I offer 750 million." Chang Yufei raised the number plate in his hand.
Christie's made the move and added a one-time price increase of $50 million.
You know, the base number at this time is already 700 million dollars.
When this price was announced, the whole audience was in a state of excitement.
"Awesome!"
“Christie’s is Christie’s!”
"You are indeed powerful!"
Chang Yufei shouted 700 million, Nakata Yota smiled slightly and gave up decisively.
Unlike Anthony who is rough, Yota Nakata is much more gentlemanly.
After exiting the queue, hand the number plate to the staff with both hands.
The move drew a flurry of praise.
"Mr. No. 66 bids 750 million, is there anything higher?"
"Seven hundred and fifty million times."
"I'll pay 800 million!"
boom--
Yoshida Ohno added another 50 million, and the audience instantly burst into exclamations.
"Mom!"
"Rich people are so damn willful."
"Even if you can't take it off, it's still nice to show off!"
"break Rotten!"
"roll!"
"snort!"
When it reached 800 million, not only the people present exclaimed, but people in Hayes' team also began to doubt life.
my Lord!
How much is 800 million dollars?
It’s incredible that just a few bottles and cans are worth so much!
Before the exclamations subsided, Chang Yufei raised his number plate again.
"Mr. No. 66, bid 700,000,000."
"Sorry!"
"It's 810 million dollars!" The staff was so shocked that they were speechless.
"any left."
"Mr. No. 82 raised his placard again and offered 820 million."
"I bought it. Thank you two gentlemen for their support. Mr. No. 66 has increased the price again."
"crazy!"
"It's all fucking crazy!"
"These items are only worth 600 million knives at most, but the price has been increased to 830 million. Isn't this fucking crazy?" Fatty Wang said with his eyes wide open.
"hehe!"
"You are crazy!"
"Christie's is very smart," Lu Fei said.
"Balanfei, what do you mean by this?" Fatty Wang asked.
"You just valued the set of Qianlong pastel tilted spout teapots at fifty million dollars."
"Then let me ask you, if I take out just one tureen and auction it at Christie's, what will the final price be?" Lu Fei asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Complete sets of items are more expensive, why should they be sold in pieces?" said Fatty Wang.
"The price of a complete set is high. It's a private sale, and it's two different things from an auction."
"Let me give you an example."
"At Sotheby's Hong Kong Autumn Auction in 2005, a Kangxi four-season floral pastel bowl sold for HK$80 million including commission."
"That bowl quilt
Mr. Huang Jingzhou won it."
"In the autumn auction of 2006, Sotheby's once again offered a flower bowl, and the transaction price reached 120 million."
"The one who took the small bowl was also Mr. Huang Jingzhou."
"In the autumn of 2010, the third small bowl appeared, and the transaction price reached 180 million, but it was still won by Huang Jingzhou."
"Mr. Huang has already obtained three of the four-season flower bowls. What is certain is that the fourth one is still in the hands of Sotheby's."
"Guess what the price will be when the fourth small bowl comes out?" Lu Fei said.
"Hiss——"
The veterans listened and took a breath of air at the same time.
"hehe!"
"If I were Sotheby's, the starting price of the fourth small bowl would not be less than 100 million."
"If you find a few people to raise the price, the price won't drop even if the transaction price is less than 2.5 billion."
"I can guarantee that even if it's 2.5 billion, Mr. Huang will win it, even if it's selling the iron."
"Because if you get the last one, you can complete the whole set."
"Let's not say 2.5 billion, there is absolutely no problem with 200 million!"
"According to the current market situation, the price of a complete set of Kangxi Four Seasons Flower Bowls is only about 250 million and a half."
"Calculate for yourselves, how much money can Sotheby's earn from four bowls?"
"This this"
"OMG!"
"This is more than double the profit!" Zhang Yanhe exclaimed.
"hehe!"
"One time is a conservative calculation, what about the commission?"
"That's the marketing strategy."
“Christie’s won this set of pastel tilted spout teapots.”
"This year I bring out a tureen, next year I bring out a teapot, and I'm looking for someone to raise the price. How much do you think they can make?"
"Remember, what you buy is never as good as what you sell."
“Christie’s has more than 200 years of heritage, so it’s natural that it has its own routines.”
"The important thing is that he is a businessman, not a philanthropist."
"They dare to take it down to one billion , then you are absolutely sure to earn 1.5 billion."
"Aunt Kong, your auction house can also use this method. You will definitely make a lot of money." Lu Fei said.
"I go!"
"It's so exciting to have rags flying off your head!"
"You have thoroughly studied other people's tricks. You are so awesome."
"Sister Kong, your auction house can let Baoshaifei be the general consultant."
"With a profiteer like him here, I'm guaranteed to make more than you are making now," Zhang Yanhe said.
Kong Panqing smiled and said.
"Xiao Fei's analysis is completely correct, but we can't do it, so let's forget it!"
"Hahaha!"
"Seeing that there is no junk flying around, no big girl would even bother to join in with a profiteer like you."
"If you want to make a lot of money, you have to open your own auction house." Zhang Yanhe said.
"Hiss——"
Zhang Yanhe's casual words made Lu Fei frown slightly.
"Well"
"Baoshaifei, what do you mean by this beating?"
"Is it possible that you really want to open an auction house?" Guan Haishan asked.
Lu Fei nodded seriously.
"This is really possible."
"It's just that I'm afraid of taking away Aunt Kong's business."
"It doesn't matter. I have regular customers there and they won't be affected too much."
"Even if you don't open one, competition from other auction houses still exists."
"Xiao Fei, if you open an auction house, I fully support you, don't worry about us." Kong Panqing said.
"Tatters fly!"
"Are you serious?"
Lu Fei nodded.
This time, Lu Fei was really serious.
The gold, silver and jewelry in my warehouse are all growing hairy.
Jubao Pavilion alone can't digest it at all.
Moreover, the quality of items sold in antique stores is much different.
