When he saw the number, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Why is Lu Tao calling him at this time?
Lu Feng stood up and walked out of the auction hall to a deserted area. "Uncle Lu, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Lu, it's like this. You have too many lots, and I only picked five to include in the auction list. I forgot to tell you because I was too busy."
Lu Feng frowned. "Uncle Lu, what do you mean?"
When things came to a close, I told him that I would only order five items. Didn’t this catch him off guard?
However, Lu Feng felt that Lu Tao must have a reason for doing this, so he did not question him.
"Xiao Lu, those things of yours are all extremely valuable and cannot be bought at an auction. Instead of failing to sell them, it would be better to select the five best ones and put them up for auction."
Lu Feng's expression softened.
He only focused on calculating how much the items could be sold for, but ignored the issue of whether the market could bear it.
Some of the more than 100 antiques and treasures have even disappeared from the market, and their research value and collection value are inestimable.
Even if an item is worth tens of millions, it is still hundreds of millions. Not to mention that some items are worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
"Uncle Lu, what you said makes sense, but I didn't think carefully enough."
"Just don't blame me for making my own decisions." Lu Tao chuckled. "I have already discussed it with the boss. She means to buy all the remaining things at the market price. As for whether to sell or not, I think you all
We should meet each other, after all, you will have to make a living in the antique world in the future, and many friends lead to many paths."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Lu for the introduction." Before Lu Tao could say anything, he added: "Uncle Lu, I'll leave those things at your place first."
Lu Tao meant well, and Lu Feng certainly wanted to make more friends in the antique shop. As Xinglong Jewelry is one of the best companies in the industry, there will definitely be business cooperation in the future, so there is nothing wrong with getting familiar with him in advance.
As for that batch of things, it was sold to anyone who sold it. With Lu Tao as the middleman, even if the price was not as high as the auction price, it wasn't much different.
But when the time comes, Lu Feng will have the initiative whether to sell or not. When he opens his pawn shop, he must have a few treasures, right?
The reason why he didn't take his things back was naturally because he was worried that those girls would snatch them away.
"That's no problem. Also! Don't be so polite to me, kid. Let's just wait until the auction is over." Lu Tao said and hung up the phone.
Since Lu Tao deliberately wanted to promote the marriage between his daughter and Lu Feng, Lu Tao has already stepped into the role. Talking to Lu Feng is more like an elder teaching the younger generation how to do things.
Lu Tao hung up the phone and walked straight to the stage with an apologetic look on his face. "I hope the episode just now did not affect the mood of all distinguished guests. For the accident that just happened, on behalf of Xinglong Jewelry, I solemnly apologize to everyone." He
He said and bowed. "I will announce that the auction has officially begun!"
Originally, Lu Tao had memorized a speech of more than 2,000 words, but he was disturbed by what had just happened and was not in the mood to read it anymore.
"No more nonsense." Lu Tao came to the auction table and stood behind, picking up the auction hammer. "Now please bring up the first lot, a three-color phoenix tail statue from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty."
As soon as Lu Tao finished speaking, he saw Xiaowen walking up with Fengweizun in her arms. She put on a fiery red cheongsam and acted as the etiquette lady. Although she was slender and could not fully demonstrate the charm that cheongsam brings to women, the cheongsam
Her legs are spread very high, and her legs are very white and straight.
Besides, most of the attention of everyone in the audience is on Fengweizun, and few people are in the mood to look at the legs.
You know, this auction is a big gathering in the antique world. Antiques and luxury goods dealers from all over the country are all present. Do you think they take the things they take home and appreciate them for themselves? Then you are totally wrong.
Thirty percent of the attendees were entrusted by various families to come here to buy their favorite items. Another 30% were people who took pictures of the items and took them back to sell. Of the remaining 40%, only 10% were pure hobbies, and the other 30% were just joining in the fun.
Antique owners can be roughly divided into two categories. One type is those with deep pockets, who will buy as long as they think it is good, regardless of whether it is good or bad. The other type is those who are really knowledgeable and specialize in picking up missing pieces. After all, the former also want to buy real things.
So the latter became a group of people serving the former.
In the auction hosted by Xinglong Jewelry, the authenticity of the items must be guaranteed. No one doubts this. Therefore, this auction has become a way for some people to make a fortune.
If something bought for 100,000 yuan is resold to wealthy people, it will be multiplied dozens or hundreds of times.
You said that the wealthy people will question the antique dealers if they know the auction prices?
Then you are totally wrong.
If you sell something you bought for 100,000 to them for 1 million, they will really fall out with you, but if you sell it for 5 million, they will smile happily.
While you think those rich people are fools, they secretly say that you are a big fool and don't understand anything.
They buy antiques not to play with, but to give as gifts.
Even if the recipient of the gift knows that the transaction price of this item at auction is 100,000, wouldn’t the person giving the gift let out the news in advance that he bought this antique for 5 million?
The water here is deep.
Lu Tao began to introduce the Fengwei Zun. "This is a Kangxi official kiln. It is made of plain light green, with three friends of pine, bamboo and plum blossoms. The whole thing gives people a fresh and refined feeling. The base price is 300,000, each time
The bidding price must not be less than 50,000. The VIPs who are optimistic about it can bid."
This item does not belong to Lu Feng, so he has no intention of asking for a price. Moreover, if he asks for a price, Lu Qi will definitely increase the price and prevent him from taking the photo.
Since Lu Qi is going to be fooled, of course he should wait until his own things are auctioned before selling them. He must leave enough capital for Lu Qi, right?
Lu Feng felt that if he didn't take action, if Lu Qi didn't have something he liked, he definitely wouldn't take action.
Sure enough, seeing that Lu Feng had no intention of bidding, Lu Qi did not raise his placard either.
Although the two of them are betting on who can buy more things, in the end they still have to win or lose based on the total value. You can’t buy 10,000 thimbles and someone only takes a photo of a Phoenix Tail statue, but you lick your face and say you won.
Already?
And more importantly, Lu Qi came here for the Taoist secret treasure, and he needed to leave more than half of the funds to take pictures of that thing.
Of course, if something was photographed by others, he would snatch it away. With the two masters, Master and Hong Tian, around, he felt at ease.
"Xiao Li, how do you like this thing?" Liu Yuejiao asked in a low voice.
"If it is sold for less than 500,000 yuan, it will definitely be worth the money."
After hearing what Xiao Li said, Liu Yuejiao entered the price of 400,000 yuan on the electronic sign and held it up.
Lu Tao's passionate voice sounded. "Miss Liu bids 400,000! Is there anyone else with a price higher than this?" He waited for about five seconds. "400,000 for the first time, 400,000 for the second time, 400,000 for the third time..."
Lu Tao was about to shout a deal when a sign was raised.
"Miss Gong bids 450,000!"
Liu Yue's pretty face suddenly darkened.
Of course she knew that Gong Yu was deliberately targeting her.
"I'll pay 600,000!"
Gong Yu raised the sign, but it was 650,000.
The two made a deal, and no matter how much Liu Yuejiao offered, Gong Yu would only add 50,000.
What was originally worth half a million yuan was suddenly raised to more than two million yuan by the two of them.
"I'll pay four million!" Liu Yuejiao raised the price by more than one million.
Gong Yu smiled charmingly. "Miss Liu is very wealthy, so I'll give it to you."
