Chapter 667 (1/2)
After the auctioneer left, people in the hall could not help talking. More than half of the people who came to the auction were Chinese collectors.
The remaining ten or so people are from the East, some from the United States and the United States, but most of these people come to pick up the leak, not to buy sincerely.
When these people saw the knowing smile among the Chinese collectors, they also guessed a clue. Some of them secretly had bad ideas in their hearts and wanted to make some mistakes.
Sotheby's office.
The head of Xiangjiang branch is scolding the auctioneer.
”What's the matter with you? Why do so many items flow? Are you taking the wrong medicine today or not? ”
The auctioneer looked at the director awkwardly, unable to argue. He can't say it's unscientific and contrary to his own experience, can he?
”Next, no matter what you do, whether you use childcare or deception, you have to give me a performance! Especially the Ming Chenghua colorful chicken bowl cup! That's the highlight of this auction. Those Chinese collectors are also here for this. You must control it for me! ” The director said fiercely.
”Yes, I will. But... What if this chicken bowl is still out of order? I think these people are likely to have an agreement with each other. If they don't bid, don't we hit them? ” The auctioneer wondered.
”Agreement? Hum, what alliance is there under the interests? Do you think these people will be indifferent as long as we lower the starting price of chicken bowl? Who doesn't want to take the chicken bowl home? ” In charge of cold channel.
”But... The starting price demanded by the client is relatively high. If we sell it at a low price, it's hard for the client to explain.”
”Are you stupid? What does nursery do? Once the price is too low, no bidding, then we buy it ourselves! It will certainly appreciate in a few years. As long as the price is controlled within 110 million Hong Kong dollars, our company can afford it. ” When the supervisor slaps the table, he makes a decision.
The chicken jar cup is not Sotheby's, but is auctioned by a client with an identity. So once they let Nur take the chicken jar cup, they must take out this part of the money. And 110 million is the limit of their company. No matter how high it is, the board of directors will not approve it.
”Well, you go. You are the most experienced auctioneer in our company. I believe this little difficulty can't help you. ” The director patted the auctioneer on the shoulder and said.
The auctioneer nodded, arranged his clothes, and reappeared on the stage.
”I'm sorry, everyone. Just now the owner of this tricolor Qinyu put forward a request. He wants to use the Dutch auction method for this thing, so I'll use the Dutch auction method. Please pay attention to seize the opportunity.” The auctioneer cleared his throat and said.
There are English, Japanese and Dutch auctions. The traditional incremental bidding method is the British method, while the Dutch method is opposite to the British method.
Also known as ”price reduction auction”, it is an auction in which the bid price of the auction target decreases from high to low until the first bidder bids (reaching or exceeding the reserve price).
A sale sale usually starts with a very high price. Sometimes, at a high level, there is no one bidding. At this time, the price drops in a predetermined amount until a bidder is willing to accept it.
In a sale auction, the first actual bid is often the last one. So, how can we talk about the fierce competition among bidders? There is no doubt that there is competition here. Although there is only one bid, the only bid is a direct response to the expectation. If you do not bid, others will bid and lose the goods.
Therefore, this kind of contradictory psychology will make people unable to restrain, and eventually a relatively high price will appear.
And sometimes it's not just one person bidding, but two or more people. At this time, the auctioneer will often improvise and increase the price until someone wins the bid.
It has to be said that the auctioneer's move is very clever, and it has a certain cracking effect on this kind of invisible alliance.
”What is Dutch auction?” Seriously, I don't understand.
”It's a price reduction auction. He calls out the highest price. If no one answers the price within a certain period of time, the price will be reduced.” Chen Moyan whispered solemnly.
Zhuang Dian nodded and said in secret that this method is really better than the previous method. Moreover, the key point of this auction is a piece of sanseqin jade, which is also very attractive to everyone. I'm afraid that the previous alliance will be broken.
Sure enough, after the auctioneer showed the three color jade, there was an exclamation immediately.
The color of this jade is very beautiful. The transition of the three colors is very natural. The red, yellow and green colors are interwoven. It is obviously made of cinnabar, earth and bronze green. This kind of jade is very rare. Even Mr. Liu is surprised.
