Isn’t it just to set a price and let people compete?
Why did these guys act so stupid when he came to the stage?
His introduction was not detailed enough? What is the difference between the early Jiaqing period and the late Jiaqing period?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, the auctioneer we originally prepared suddenly felt unwell, so we replaced him with Xiao Zhang. Unexpectedly, he didn't understand auctions at all. We have urgently contacted the new auctioneer and will be here soon."
At this moment, a manager from Zhenbao Tang finally showed up.
"If it really comes from the imperial palace, you can really get it."
"I just don't know whether it's an early or late stage. The late stage ones aren't worth the price."
Most of the early Jiaqing blue and white porcelain still continued the style of the Qianlong Dynasty, and the shape, size, and decoration were basically the same as the Qianlong blue and white porcelain.
If you don't look at the base, some artifacts are difficult to distinguish, indicating that the porcelain making technology at that time was still at a high level.
In the late Jiaqing period, with the decline in domestic purchasing power, blue and white porcelain was mainly used for daily use and coarse porcelain, while display porcelain gradually decreased.
Regardless of the quality of porcelain or the artistic level, it is far inferior to that of the Qianlong period.
The book "Tao Ya" records: "As soon as Jia Dao came down, the painting skills and color materials became worse and worse."
However, some official kiln wares, as porcelain used for palace life and furnishings, are also very strict in their production, and there are many exquisite works among them.
However, the number is too small, so the early and late Jiaqing period are two different concepts.
It was called Qianjia in the early period and Jiadao in the later period. How can this be the same?
The auctioneer just now was just a stickler, he didn't understand anything, and he still wanted to host such a big auction?
Although there are not many people here, there are many things sold and the value is higher. Without some professional knowledge, you will definitely not be able to have fun.
"Okay, this auction has officially begun."
The new auctioneer is very young, he looks to be in his twenties. No wonder he was bullied and replaced.
If the guy hadn't screwed up just now, he probably wouldn't have gotten the chance.
"As we all know, during the Qing Dynasty's two hundred years, a lot of porcelain flowed out of the official treasury. Why were the porcelain in the palace sold off? There were different reasons for this in different periods."
"According to archives, in the early Qianlong period, more than 140,000 pieces of damaged or incomplete glaze porcelain from the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties were sold in the warehouse. In the middle period of the Qianlong period, unmarked porcelain from the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties was sold.
The remaining 8,000 pieces were sold."
"Qianlong also took out the palace and sold off more than 110,000 pieces of porcelain that had too much stock and were useless, with shallow glazes, incomplete patterns, or ordinary styles."
"During the Jiaqing period, Emperor Jiaqing advocated frugality and completely cleaned up the items stored in the six warehouses of the palace. Except for those that must be retained, all the items that were of no use in the long-term storage warehouses, as well as those that were used less and stored in excess, were all sold off."
"During the Jiaqing period, a total of more than 440,000 pieces of porcelain from the Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing dynasties were sold. It stands to reason that it should be very common among the people for so many porcelains to flow out of the palace at once."
Having said this, the new auctioneer stopped talking.
Chen Wenzhe was attracted by the young auctioneer and listened carefully.
Needless to say, this person is very powerful just by listening.
Despite his young age, he still managed to stir up the atmosphere in the court very easily.
"Everyone, just Emperor Jiaqing released 440,000 pieces of official kiln porcelain. Those porcelains were all stored in the warehouse and there are no defects. So many porcelains flowed into the market at once. How many have you seen?"
"Forty-four thousand pieces may seem like a lot, but how many Chinese people do we have? How many pieces can one person get on average?"
"Jiaqing official kiln, early fine products, porcelain of various colors, including blue and white, pastel, and even doucai, even enamel color is not uncommon, a set of forty pieces, each piece costs 100,000, the total price of the set
Four million, the auction starts now!"
"four million!"
"Eight million!"
"Okay, eight million, that should be the price. Is there any increase in price? It's a deal!"
"The second set is worth 8 million. Is there anyone who bids? If not, it will be 7 million. If not, it will be 6 million!"
"Eight million!"
"Okay, the third set is 8.5 million!"
"This gentleman bids 8.5 million. Is there any higher price? It's a deal."
Chen Wenzhe stared at the scene in shock. This young man was really powerful. His speed was too fast and he didn't even give them time to react.
Therefore, the price of a set of Jiaqing official kilns has risen directly from 2 million to 4 million. Under this situation, the price can continue to rise after doubling.
Because he was so fast, there was almost no reaction time at the scene.
Therefore, even those big names can only rely on instinct and calculate their own psychological price when bidding.
In this way, it is easy to test everyone's psychological price.
From eight million to nine and a half million, by this time, no one continued to offer high prices.
Of course, it is unlikely that the price will be low. Everyone wants this kind of official kiln porcelain, and the more the merrier. The original tacit understanding of auctioning second-color porcelain has long been gone.
There was even a hint of gunpowder in the market. If it weren't for the psychological price, these big guys would have gotten angry long ago.
If he really got mad and got angry, the young auctioneer would have achieved his wish.
It's a pity that they are all foxes of thousands of years, who will be fooled?
Soon, ten sets of 400 exquisite pieces from early Jiaqing official kilns were sold out at auction.
When Chen Wenzhe watched it from beginning to end, he found that there was no chance for a group of people to do one thing and want two things.
Otherwise, the price would not have increased from 8 million to 9.5 million.
The total price, on average, is almost 250,000 yuan per piece.
There are four kinds of bowls, plates, and cups, especially the wine cups, which are too small. If sold individually, the price of the plates and bowls would definitely be higher, but the prices of the plates and wine cups would be lower.
The most important thing is that the quantity is so large that flooding the market at once will definitely cause price fluctuations.
But no matter how large the quantity is, if it falls into the hands of Internet celebrities, it will only be sold out in minutes.
Each person has only 40 pieces, and one live broadcast has tens of thousands of viewers. How can it be divided enough?
Chen Wenzhe has been dumbfounded for a long time. He can only look at this kind of price.
He couldn't afford even the previous secondary color porcelain, let alone these early Jiaqing official kilns.
Originally he thought he had some money and a sense of superiority in his heart, but now these are all gone and he is just a pauper!
"There are specialties in the profession, and professionals are great."
"This guy is good!"
"Haha, no wonder you are jealous!"
"It is mediocre not to be envied by others!"
When this round of auction ended, all the big guys reacted, but none of them were angry, but full of appreciation.
