Chapter 2084 Really good at playing
The so-called ways of doing business are infinitely flexible, and each approach has its own essence.
As Ristone Auction Company.
Although only one auction is held a year, due to its good reputation and special business model, it is also full of auctions.
In addition to sky-high commissions, Swisscom also does not support off-site hotline bidding.
If you feel like it, just buy a ticket and enter the venue to guess the blind box. If you guess correctly, it will be a surprise. Even if it is not a surprise, I guarantee you will not be particularly disappointed.
With this sense of mystery, it has firmly captured the hearts of collectors everywhere.
So much so that it has produced countless die-hard fans who must attend the auction in person every year.
Even if you don’t take action, it would be great to experience the feeling of guessing the blind box!
"Ladies and gentlemen, in order not to waste your precious time, this year's Ristone Auction has officially begun."
"The following is the first item to be auctioned tonight. Please look forward to it."
After the host finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Countless eyes looked backstage at the same time. In addition to curiosity, there was deep expectation in their eyes.
Soon, a tall white beauty, surrounded by two young men, walked to the front desk pushing a treasure car.
On the treasure car, a piece of red cloth covered a large square thing with a side length of about one meter.
The two men skillfully put the big guy on the treasure appraisal table.
During the whole process, the red cloth did not slip at all, which means that at this time, no one knows what is under the red cloth.
"Holy shit!"
"It seems quite big?" Lu Fei said in surprise.
"Mr. Lu Fei, it's not what you think."
"Under the red cloth is a glass box with a side of one meter."
"Every item must be packed in a glass box of the same specification before it is put on stage."
"If the red cloth is directly covered on the object, experienced people will roughly judge what is inside based on the height and shape of the bulge."
"Can
Packed in a glass box of the same size, this is no longer the case. "
"It makes it more mysterious," Murray said.
"I go!"
"You really know how to play!"
Lu Fei nodded with a smile.
It has to be said that the century-old store has endless tricks!
Judging from the endless anticipation in everyone's eyes, it is obvious that the business's expected effect has been achieved.
This time, I gained more knowledge.
Amid everyone's expectant gazes, auctioneer Peter came to the treasure appraisal platform with a smile on his face.
Holding both sides of the red cloth with both hands, he said loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, exciting times are about to begin."
"are you ready?"
When Peter said this, the regular customers in the audience immediately agreed.
"Ready!"
It was this interactive session that immediately stirred up the atmosphere in the venue.
"Now that everyone is ready."
“Next, let’s witness together what the first item on the auction block is!”
Peter said, lifting the red cloth with both hands at the same time.
At the same time, a beam of white light hit the glass box straight from top to bottom, and a golden halo emitted, and the audience cheered.
This interactive method made Lu Fei feel refreshed and his interest greatly increased.
The red cloth was removed, and the first auction item was clearly visible.
Even though the glass box is one meter long on a side, the objects inside are not big.
This is a porcelain vase, nearly thirty centimeters tall, which is obviously disproportionate to the large glass box.
However, when Lu Fei saw this porcelain vase,
But he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Sitting in the front row, the view is perfect.
Lu Fei could see clearly that this was actually a yellow-ground pastel-colored longevity cloud-mouth vase.
At the same time, the close-up shot of the cloud-mouth bottle also appeared on the big screen.
The close-ups from the inside to the outside, including the soles, are clear.
This vase has a rolled-up Ruyiyun-shaped mouth, a thin straight neck, a round belly that draws down, and a circle foot.
The lining is turquoise green glaze, and the mouth edge is gilded.
The outer wall of the vessel is painted with a lotus pattern on a yellow ground. The lower part of the neck is painted with four groups of bats holding ribbons with the word "swastika" in their mouths, with pendant buckles, and the foot ring is decorated with a lotus petal pattern.
The whole porcelain bottle has a high-end atmosphere, perfect and direct. .??.
The bottom is turquoise green glaze, with alum red color and six-character seal script inscription "Made in the Jiaqing Year of the Qing Dynasty".
This vessel has a handsome shape and fine craftsmanship, implying auspiciousness.
Jiaqing porcelain inherits the style of the previous dynasty and is easy to be confused with Qianlong ware, and there are many excellent works like this.
This cloud-mouth bottle is a typical example.
All China collection enthusiasts and people in the archaeological field are familiar with this Yunkou bottle.
This is a fine porcelain made in the early years of Jiaqing, when Emperor Qianlong was the emperor.
Since then, it has been kept in the Old Summer Palace.
Unfortunately, during that catastrophe, it was looted by the British and French forces and disappeared.
As we all know, in the past decade or so, valuable treasures lost overseas from the Old Summer Palace have often appeared at Ristone auctions.
But such exquisite products are really rare.
Seeing this treasure, the eyes of all the Chinese collectors present burst out with burning light.
Guan Haishan clenched his fists with great excitement, and Fatty Wang and others were also excited.
They were not surprised to see the treasures lost in the Old Summer Palace here, and they had already been mentally prepared.
But the first round is like the yellow ground pastel Fushou Wannian Yunkou bottle
The big baby was beyond their expectations.
Wang Zhenbang, Feng Yuanyang and others in the second row were equally surprised when they saw this treasure.
He turned back and looked at Guanhai Mountain in the distance. The next second, all the eyes of these big guys were on the back of Lu Fei's head.
Unfortunately, Lu Fei didn't feel it the whole time and didn't look back to interact with them.
Just lean back in the chair and admire silently.
"The first item to be auctioned tonight is a Jiaqing yellow-ground pastel-painted Fushou Ten Thousand Years Cloud Mouth Vase."
"After being appraised by our company's appraiser, it is undoubtedly authentic."
"However, to ensure fairness, we will give everyone five minutes."
"If you have any doubts, you can come on stage and appreciate it up close."
The reputation of Rui Stone Company is good enough, and the appraiser's vision is quite good. It has not made a mistake in a hundred years.
Therefore, no one came on stage to appreciate it.
This is an object that opens the door, there is nothing suspicious about it.
The big bosses in China did not raise any questions.
Five minutes are up, Peter continued.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's start the auction immediately."
"This Jiaqing yellow-ground pastel-colored Fushou Ten Thousand Years Cloud-mouth vase is priced at a low price of four million pounds."
"Each bid shall not be less than one hundred thousand pounds."
"The expected transaction price given by our company is 6.5 million pounds."
"In other words, the final transaction price will not reach 6.5 million pounds, and our company will not charge commission."
"Now everyone please get crazy!"
"The first auction has officially begun!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd in the audience held up a number plate.
"Mr. No. 022 bids four million pounds!"
"No. 086 bids 4.1 million pounds"
