When a lot enters the auction process, in addition to paying a commission in advance, after the transaction is completed, if the transaction exceeds the original price, an additional amount of money will be paid to the auction house. As for the amount, this is negotiated by both parties before the auction.
There is no clear stipulation on how much it will cost.
Liu Yuejiao got the auction item, but she couldn't be happy at all.
Although several million is not enough for her to buy half a watch, who wants to be taken advantage of?
"Now please bring out the second lot, a Jun kiln flower pot."
Xiaowen brought the lot up.
Lu Tao took it in his hand and began to introduce it. "This is a sky-blue Jun kiln flowerpot, which was imitated from the Ming Dynasty Jun kiln in the Qing Dynasty. The starting price is 1.2 million, and each increase in price will not be less than 100,000."
In fact, laymen are just watching the excitement. If Lu Tao doesn't point it out, if Ming and Qing items are put together, it is impossible for an expert to tell them apart. This is also the reason why buyers are willing to come to big auction houses, because they are usually very honest.
Xiao Li introduced in a low voice. "This thing is not worth buying. 1.2 million is already the highest price. And its collection value is very low. You can't really take it home and plant flowers, right?"
Liu Yuejiao nodded.
In fact, even if she likes this lot, she won't take it easily. After all, there is the troublesome Gong Yu sitting next to her.
In the end, this lot was bought by Xiao Yang for 1.3 million.
Xiao Yang's hobby is to grow flowers and grass. When he encounters something like this, of course he has to take it into his pocket.
Since Lu Qi made the bet with Lu Feng first, even though he found Xiao Yang less favorable than Lu Feng, he did not intentionally raise the price.
Lu Qi felt that Xiao Yang also came here for the Taoist secret treasure, and he needed to spend his money wisely.
Next, the lots were brought up one by one. Some were sold at high prices, and many failed to be sold.
"Everyone!" Lu Tao's face was full of passion and his voice was high-pitched. "The exciting moment has arrived! The next thing to be auctioned is the finale of this auction." He smiled mysteriously. "I won't tell you what it is, but
I can assure you that the next five things you get on stage are all rare treasures!"
Everyone who was originally drowsy suddenly became energetic.
Those real buyers who had not made a move in the first place cheered up even more.
They came here just for the finale item.
Lu Feng and Lu Qi's eyes met in the air, and the corners of their mouths twitched into a sneer at the same time.
The real betting war is about to begin.
Of course, what will be auctioned soon are the funerary objects that Lu Feng entrusted Lu Tao to auction.
"Please bring out the first item for auction. Four series of sauce-glazed jars from the Han Dynasty!"
"Wow..."
There were exclamations everywhere.
The first auction item is such a valuable item, so what is the value of the remaining items?
The final auction did not show the actual objects in advance, but wanted a sense of mystery. The more so, the higher everyone's expectations.
Xiaowen carefully picked up the clay pot.
After taking photos of dozens of items, Xiaowen has not made any mistakes, which is very commendable. It shows that her ability is still very outstanding.
Lu Tao stroked the jar, his face full of intoxication. "Everyone has seen that such well-preserved sauce-glazed jars like this from the Han Dynasty are truly treasures passed down from generation to generation. The glaze color is even and smooth, and the jar is calm and elegant. It is like a curling tingling, noble
Pure fairy."
This piece of pottery is indeed beautiful, especially after it was blessed by Lu Feng with a talisman, and its details were fully revealed in front of everyone.
Everyone's eyes were red.
Lu Tao is right, I'm afraid there are no museums with objects of this kind. If you put one of these in your own store, the quality will immediately change. Are you still worried about not being able to sell the items?
"Mr. Lu, please tell me the price quickly."
"Yeah, don't whet everyone's appetite."
"I am willing to use all my net worth eight million to buy it!"
"For eight million, go and buy the clay pot. This sauce glaze jar is worth at least ten million, which is the starting price."
Everyone was a little impatient.
Of course, those who shout more happily are less real buyers and are just joining in the fun.
Lu Tao smiled slightly and stopped whetting his appetite. "The starting price is 15 million, and each bid must not be less than 500,000."
"Wow..."
There was another exclamation at the scene.
The starting price was fifteen million. Such a high price had already squeezed out more than half of the people at the venue.
"I'll pay eighteen million."
The person bidding was not Lu Feng or Lu Qi, but Xiao Yang.
This clay pot is more than thirty centimeters high and its mouth is more than twenty centimeters thick. It should be good as a vase.
Again, not many people understand the world of rich people.
A heirloom treasure with a starting price of 15 million, Xiao Yang bought it just to use it as a vase. This is simply a waste of natural resources.
"Master Xiao has offered 18 million. Is there anyone else who is higher than this amount?" Lu Tao spoke with passion.
As a qualified auctioneer, in addition to being experienced and passionate, he must also know the information of the participants by heart.
When someone raises a placard, you must know the identity of the other person, even if he is just a rich man. The advantage of this is that it can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the bidders.
Have you all seen it? I am not a little-known little character.
Since you are a celebrity, of course you can't let others look down on you, so naturally you have to try your best to increase the price.
"I'll give you 20 million." Lu Feng held up the sign.
Liu Yuejiao and Xiao Li did not show any dissatisfaction with Lu Feng's move to raise the sign without asking for their opinions. The reason is simple. This four-series jar with sauce and glaze is worth more than 20 million.
Lu Feng didn't squander the money, so of course they wouldn't have any objections.
"I'll pay 25 million."
Sure enough! Lu Qi, who had been silent throughout the auction, took action.
"Master Lu offered 25 million!" Lu Tao shouted heartbreakingly.
Of course, he was calling Lu Qi a big fool in his mind.
You kid, just prepare to fall into a trap.
Naturally, Lu Qi didn't know that this sauce-glazed fourth-series jar belonged to Lu Feng, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for the price even if he were beaten to death.
"Lu Feng, I've already said that you can't get anything in this auction."
Lu Qi used words to stimulate Lu Feng, trying to make him lose his mind and compete with him.
Looking at Lu Feng's calm face, it was obvious that he had been fooled.
But before Lu Feng could raise his hand, Xiao Yang raised the price to 28 million.
Lu Qi looked at Xiao Yang with a gloomy face, but gave him a middle finger instead.
This international gesture was a provocation from Ci Guoguo. How could Mr. Lu tolerate it?
"Thirty million!"
Lu Qi even lazily raised his sign and shouted directly.
"You're cruel." Xiao Yang smiled faintly. "I bought this clay pot just to grow flowers, but I suddenly thought it would be good to use a flower pot worth 30 yuan, so I decided to give it to you."
Lu Qi's face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
How the hell are you asking him? You are clearly mocking him in public.
"Thirty million once... Thirty million three times, deal!" Lu Tao dropped the hammer hard.
"Master Lu, congratulations." The transaction was successful, and Lu Feng was the first to send blessings.
But for Lu Qi, this was like adding a pinch of salt to his wounds.
