Chapter 633 (1/2)
As soon as Youxi's voice fell, a new auction item was put on the auction stage.
The host began to introduce it and said: ”the first thing to be sure about the next item to be auctioned is that its age is at least 500 years ago, that is to say At least it's from the Ming Dynasty. ”
As soon as this remark came out, some people immediately showed their spirits. Even Xiao Tian touched his chin and looked at the auction items on the high stage.
If it's porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, if it's good in appearance and texture, it's not necessarily worse than the vase that was first auctioned. If it's calligraphy and painting, it's the famous artists who can keep it in today's calligraphy and painting. There are many famous artists in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the things of these people, no matter who they are, are valuable.
It's just If it's a Ming Dynasty antique, it can be used as the final auction to promote. For an auction house, it also needs some interesting gimmicks.
After seeing the people at the scene, who had already aroused curiosity, the host continued: ”before we start the auction, let's play a game. Let's guess what the auction is. Anyone who guesses correctly can get a beautiful gift. ”
Although the people present are not very interested in the so-called exquisite gifts, they are still curious about what it is. Only people can guess what it is.
It seems to create a sense of mystery. The object was put on the exhibition stand, but now it is still covered with red cloth, and does not show its true appearance.
Immediately someone said: ”you this red cloth covered, who knows what it is, always need to give some tips.”
”This gentleman is right, so I'll give you two tips.” The host said, ”first of all, it's a bronze.”
”Bronze? Is it a red stove, a bronze tripod or something like that? ”
”It can't be that simple. If so, you need to guess?”
”Then what is it? A practical object? ”
”It's impossible. In the Ming Dynasty, even if metal objects were needed, they were also iron objects. It's impossible to use bronze objects.”
”What's that?”
When people speculated, the host said the second tip, saying: ”this thing, it's about the size of a person's head.”
”It's not a hint at all.”
”Look at the red cloth cover. I know it's only this size.”
The host had no choice but to smile and said: ”no way, because I don't know how to prompt it. ”
”Yes, ornaments, statues, ornaments and things like that, right?”
”No, as soon as I heard that it was a bronze ware, the first thing I thought of was a statue, so I won't. ”
after a few minutes of discussion, I didn't guess why.
Some people have been impatient, said: ”can't guess, also don't want any exquisite gift, quick auction, what is it.”
Generally speaking, before an auction is held, the auction house will make public what is to be auctioned. In this way, people who want to buy this item will naturally be ready to compete. There are few such items that have not been published before the auction.
No time to understand, no time to promote, it is very likely that the auction can not come up with a good price.
For the auction house with priority of interests, it will never make such self loss.
