After finishing the preview, Li Yang told Zheng Kaida and the others that he was going to Hong Kong.
Speaking of which, Li Yang is already the director of a large-scale auction company, but he has never actually participated in a formal large-scale auction.
It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but it's true.
This time I could have a good experience at the auction held by my own auction company, but because of Mr. He's request, I had to give up temporarily. Fortunately, I went to Hong Kong to participate in the auction, and it was a larger auction. Regarding this, Li Yang
No regrets.
Li Yang could not stay to participate in his own auction. Zheng Kaida and Sima Lin were a little regretful. Most of the items in their auction this time belonged to Li Yang. It can also be said that the success of this auction was all thanks to Li Yang.
Yang’s contribution.
After learning about Mr. He's matter, the two of them immediately had no objections. Both of them said that even if Li Yang was not here, there would be no problems in their auction and they would definitely take all Li Yang's property.
The jade raw materials are all sold at a satisfactory price.
After settling the matter here, Li Yang had nothing to do and drove to Hong Kong with Liu Gang.
Wu Xiaoli is the person least happy about Li Yang leaving. Liu Gang did not help her apply for a passport. This time he went to Hong Kong to help Mr. He buy things, not to play. Liu Gang did not dare to make any decisions without authorization. His mission was to protect
Li Yang.
Wu Xiaoli could only go through the procedures by herself. Even if her father was the deputy director of the Communist Party of China, it would still take two days to apply for a Hong Kong and Macao pass, and it would have to be delivered by the fastest courier. She wanted to follow Li Yang
Entering Hong Kong is obviously impossible.
Guangzhou is still very close to Hong Kong, closer than Mingyang to Zhengzhou. More than two hours later, the two of them arrived at the Shenzhen Bay Port. What Li Yang didn't expect was that Liu Gang also went through the customs clearance procedures for his Volvo.
, the people at the port gave them a temporary China-Hong Kong license plate, and the two drove directly into Hong Kong.
Seeing this scene, Li Yang sighed very much. It was very convenient for him to do anything with Liu Gang following him.
Li Yang arrived in Hong Kong on the day they held the auction. It was a pity that the auction was held at night. Otherwise, they could have waited for the auction to end before coming back to Hong Kong, so that they could see with their own eyes that their jade raw materials were being competed for.
scene.
Having experience in Nanyang auctions, Li Yang believed that many people would bid for those pieces of good raw materials, and they would eventually fetch sky-high prices.
It was the afternoon when we arrived in Hong Kong. Li Yang looked out the window curiously along the way. This was the first time for Li Yang to come to this city that he had seen countless times on TV. The high-rise buildings outside the window were completely different from what Li Yang had imagined.
.
When he arrived in Wan Chai District, Li Yang finally saw some things that had appeared on the screen.
After Gang Liu drove the car to his destination, Li Yang saw the most familiar building, which appears in almost every modern Hong Kong film, the seaside building that looks like a giant turtle - the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
Liu Gang had booked a hotel before coming. The hotel is here at the Convention and Exhibition Center. Tomorrow's preview and subsequent auction will be held here. It is very convenient to stay here.
Liu Gang booked a suite. After entering the room, Liu Gang went out by himself, leaving Li Yang to rest alone.
The five-star hotel in Hong Kong is still very comfortable. Feeling this comfort, Li Yang sighed again. Half a year ago, he never thought that his life would change so much. All of this was due to the inexplicable blackness in his body.
Brought by the thread.
Lying on the bed, Li Yang suddenly activated his special ability. To this day, he still doesn't know what these mysterious black lines in his body are.
Under the three-dimensional image, the black lines in Li Yang's arms and palms are very clear. The black lines connecting the brain in the two arms are still so long, and the ten small forked lines in the palms are still so long.
thin.
Li Yang focused his attention on these black lines, trying to see if he could control them, but in the end he shook his head helplessly. He had no awareness of these black lines, and trying to control them was pure fantasy.
It didn't take long for Liu Gang to come back, bringing two invitations and two color booklets. The color book contained an introduction to the auction and pictures of the auction items.
Li Yang immediately took a brochure, sat on the sofa and started reading.
Li Yang has heard of Sotheby's auction company more than once. This is a multinational company. Its status in China is similar to that of An's in the jewelry industry. It is a large auction company that ranks first and second. It is definitely not the newly established one by Li Yang and others.
No auction company can compare.
This Sotheby's auction is actually an additional auction. In addition to the fixed spring and autumn auctions, major auction companies will also add some additional auctions from time to time, such as Li Yang's special jade auction.
It's an additional shot.
This additional auction by Sotheby's consists of two art auctions alone, namely Southeast Asian modern and contemporary art and Chinese contemporary art. In addition, there are jade jewelry auctions and Chinese porcelain auctions.
Counting it this way, Sotheby's has a total of four auctions in this additional auction. It is worthy of being a large and established auction company. Their scale is something Zheng Kaida cannot achieve now, and it is also Zheng Kaida's goal in the future.
The preview will be held tomorrow and the auction will begin the day after tomorrow. Sotheby's is a mature auction company. There is no need for an interval between the preview and the auction. Moreover, many people attending the auction are old customers and are very strict with their company's rules.
familiar.
The four auctions are held for two days in total. The first day is all about modern art. Li Yang can go or not. The second day is the highlight. At ten o'clock in the morning, it is the auction of jade jewelry, and in the afternoon, it is the auction of Chinese porcelain.
, the Yuan blue and white porcelain room that Mr. He was interested in was auctioned in the afternoon.
"Yuan Qinghua!"
Looking at the photo of the 'Jinxiang Pavilion' Yuan blue and white figure jar in the brochure, Li Yang sighed heavily. Today, Li Yang is not like he didn't know anything before. He has read so many precious materials and added a lot of antique knowledge.
He understands the meaning of the three words Yuan Qinghua very well.
For a long time, the origin of Yuan Qinghua remained a mystery.
If new varieties of Chinese ceramics are born, they all have clear identities and clear context. Only Yuanqinghua has no infancy, no childhood, no youth. When the world sees it, it is already a young man in his prime, which makes many
Everyone doubts its origin.
The main reason is that there is no record of Yuan blue and white porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties that lasted for more than 500 years. Traditionally, it has been believed that the creation and firing of blue and white porcelain was only started in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
The evidence is the blue and white materials that Zheng He brought back from his voyages to the West.
Even during the Republic of China, Chinese people still believed that blue and white porcelain began in the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the 1950s that the American Alexander demonstrated the existence of Yuan blue and white porcelain for the first time. When this result was announced, it shocked the entire China*
**boundary.
From then on, Yuan Qinghua slowly entered the attention of communists.
So far, there are only more than 300 Yuan blue and white pieces recognized by academic circles in the world, and there are about 100 pieces in China. Most of them are in museums in various places, and very few are circulating in the market. In 2005
, a Yuan blue and white "Guiguzi goes down the mountain" large jar was sold for a sky-high price of 230 million yuan in London, England. In an instant, Yuan blue and white became the darling of everyone and became a symbol of wealth and status.
Today, there are still many people among the people who claim to have Yuan Qinghua, but whether it is true or not requires careful research.
Looking at the photos in the brochure, Li Yang was a little jealous. Anyone who loves sex would be tempted to see such a good product. Of course, whether you can win or not depends on your ability.
.
The Yuan blue and white porcelain that Mr. He is interested in is painted on Wang Zhongwen's famous drama "Meng Yuemei's Hate of Jinxiang Pavilion". The painting is very beautiful and the color is very bright. It is no worse than the blue and white porcelain of the official kiln in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Where to go.
Among the Yuan blue and white pieces, the most precious ones are the porcelains with figures painted on them. All of them are top-notch national treasures and are treasures among the Yuan blue and white treasures. If He Lao hadn't already taken a fancy to this Yuan blue and white figure jar, Li Yang would have thought of himself.
Take a photo of this top national treasure and go back to appreciate it slowly.
Closing the color book, Li Yang slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yang was determined to win this Yuan blue and white piece. If he wanted to bid for it at the auction, he needed to know more about the auction item. The color book alone
The introduction is not enough.
As early as the day before yesterday, after receiving a call from Mr. He, Li Yang began to look for information on this Yuan blue and white porcelain. Unfortunately, not much could be found. What he has learned so far is very limited. What Li Yang knows, others also
Everyone must know.
He Lao didn't provide much help to Li Yang. He Lao knew more things than Li Yang, but it didn't directly help him participate in the auction. Li Yang had to rely on himself in the auction.
After resting in the hotel for a while, the sky gradually darkened. Looking out the window, the neon lights that had been lit up looked particularly dazzling.
"Brother Li, let the waiter bring the food in, or should we go out and eat by ourselves!"
Liu Gang walked over, and Li Yang looked up and looked out the window, only to find that the sky outside had completely darkened. He had been looking at the lottery book intently, but he didn't expect time to pass so quickly.
"What time is it now?"
"It's almost half past seven!"
"It's half past seven, and Brother Zheng's auction is about to start. Let's go out to eat!"
Li Yang stood up, stretched out his arms, and temporarily forgot about the Yuan Qinghua incident. Sima Linke told Li Yang before coming here that the food in Hong Kong is very good. If not this time,
Their auction overlapped with the auction in Hong Kong, and he wanted to accompany Li Yang to Hong Kong to taste Hong Kong's delicacies.
There is a good restaurant near the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. It is very famous in Hong Kong. Before coming here, Sima Lin specifically mentioned it. Before walking far, Li Yang discovered this Western-style restaurant called 'Victoria'
restaurant, and immediately walked in with Liu Gang.
"Sir, do you have a reservation?"
As soon as he entered the restaurant, a very beautiful waiter came up to Li Yang and smiled and bent down. Li Yang looked around and replied honestly: "No!"
"Okay, sir, please come with me!"
The waiter made a gesture, and both Li Yang and Liu Gang followed her forward. Li Yang sighed as he walked, the high-end restaurant is really good, the environment is so good, there are so many people dining there, but they can't hear any noise.
Sima Lin told Li Yang that the steaks and snails here were good. Li Yang and Liu Gang ordered one each, and also ordered a bottle of red wine. Do you follow the Romans? It would be strange not to drink some red wine when entering a Western restaurant, but
The prices on the menu also made Li Yang secretly shake his head. This meal cost him several months of salary.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
During this time, Li Yang was with Zheng Kaida and Sima Lin. They had the best food and accommodation every day. He was almost used to this luxurious life, and unlike at the beginning when he was still a little uncomfortable, Li Yang now comes in and out of this place.
This is a high-end place, and there is no longer any psychological burden.
While Li Yang was lamenting here, the auction in Guangzhou also officially started.
Zhu Lei and Li Can are both busy. More than a hundred people will participate in this auction, and an on-site telephone station is set up so that some people who have no time to come can bid remotely through the phone.
However, the most eye-catching people at the scene were the two young men An Wenjun and Shao Yuhua. Basically everyone who came here knew about the relationship between the two companies. With so many high-end jadeite raw materials appearing this time, the two major companies will definitely
There was a fight between dragons and tigers, and a few people joining in the fun were craning their necks waiting to watch the show.
The first item to be auctioned is Wu Xiaoli’s small piece of apple green ice jade. The first auction item cannot be too bad, but the price cannot be too high. Wu Xiaoli’s piece of ice jade is the most suitable. In order to create momentum, I believe
The bids for this small piece of ice will not be too low.
In the end, Wu Xiaoli's small piece of ice was sold for 1.2 million. This price can be said to be very high. The price of making jewelry can only be sold at this price at most. It is almost impossible to make money, and you may have to lose money.
Pay some processing fees.
The person who bought this jadeite was someone from Lao Fengxiang Jewelry Company. An's and Shaw's both made bids in the first round, but they did not commit to this jadeite.
The second piece of jadeite on the auction block is Zhang Wei’s gold wire jadeite. This piece of raw material is of good quality and is larger than the ice jadeite just now. As soon as the reserve price was announced, many jewelry companies competed to bid. Zhang Wei came to the auction site.
I can't even close my mouth when I smile.
The next item to be auctioned is a piece of ice-grown jadeite. The raw material of jadeite that Li Yang extracted from the No. 605 wool at the open-bid auction. This piece of wool made Shao Yuqiang regret a lot at the beginning.
The large piece of ice was divided into three pieces, each weighing several kilograms. Only one piece is up for auction now.
"What is being auctioned now is ice raw material, which weighs 5.76 kilograms and is oval in shape. It is the most cost-effective whether it is used to make bracelets or other jewelry. The base price is five million, and the minimum price for each placard is ten
Ten thousand!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people below raised their placards one after another, and from time to time someone raised the price. Soon the price of this piece of wool was increased to nine million.
"Twenty million!"
Shao Yuhua suddenly spoke and suddenly increased the price from 9 million to 20 million. Everyone present instantly became silent. I have seen people increase the price, but I have never seen someone increase the price as harshly as him. It more than doubled all of a sudden.
, the price offered was directly four times higher than the reserve price.
"Twenty million, this gentleman has paid 20 million, is there anyone higher than him? If not, the ice raw material weighing more than ten kilograms today belongs to this gentleman!"
The auctioneer raised his hammer and shouted, looking very excited.
Zheng Kaida was also very excited. The two items that were auctioned before were both worth one or two million. As soon as this piece of ice came up, it didn't take long to reach 20 million. At an auction, 20 million can appear.
There are not many high-priced items.
This is just the beginning. There are two other pieces of ice jade that are similar to this one, and there are also more valuable glass jade raw materials. There is absolutely no problem that today’s auction will exceed 100 million yuan, and this auction will also become a
They were a real kick-off to the Lida auction.
An Wenjun hesitated for a moment. His psychological price for this piece of ice jade was 18 million. Eighteen million was not very profitable. Unexpectedly, before she even made a bid, Shao Yuhua actually offered more than her.
The psychological price made An Wenjun a little overwhelmed.
"Twenty million, this piece of jade belongs to Mr. No. 16!"
The auctioneer suddenly dropped the hammer, and An Wenjun's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately sat up straight and looked back at Shao Yuhua. No. 16 was Shao Yuhua's license plate number.
Shao Yuhua chuckled and sat on the chair with his arms folded, showing a little bit of pride.
An Wenjun now understood that Shao Yuhua's shouting out the high price was specifically to deal with her. Today, Shaw Brothers had no intention of making money to take back these raw materials.
Shao Yuhua even took advantage of An Wenjun not thinking about it and took a piece of ice jade all at once. Shaw will also lose some money on this piece of jade. But if it is added little by little, Shaw may eventually
Even if they finally get the piece of wool, An Wenjun believes that it will definitely not cost 20 million.
"snort!"
An Wenjun snorted angrily and stopped looking at Shao Yuhua. She had a lot of power in this jade bidding, and it didn't matter even if she lost money to win it. Her first task was to snipe at Shao. Unfortunately, she lost the first fight.
A piece of ice seed material was taken away by Shaw Brothers.
The next auction was for a piece of jadeite belonging to Sima Lin. This time An Wenjun showed an aggressive attitude when he came up. Shao Yuhua kept folding his arms and smiling without saying a word.
In the end, Sima Lin's piece of gold wire was bought by An's at a high price, which made many people in other jewelry companies somewhat dissatisfied.
They know that ice and glass are two raw materials. Anshi and Shaw will definitely have big competition. Except for the top ten large companies, many companies have given up the competition for this raw material and have set their sights on it.
As for other mid-to-high-end raw materials, I didn’t expect An’s to be so fierce with these raw materials, and they would fight to lose money to rob them.
Invisibly, the people in these jewelry companies regarded An as their biggest enemy.
An Wenjun made provocative moves on several pieces of jade below, but Shao Yuhua never responded, sitting there quietly without even making a bid.
This made An Wenjun very suspicious. Unfortunately, she didn't know that her continuous high prices for mid-to-high-end jadeite made many other jewelry companies dissatisfied with An's.
The auctioneer changed the picture, and the ice jade appeared on the big screen again. Seeing such jade, the leading companies became excited.
"The piece below is made from the same piece of wool as the piece of jade that sold for 20 million yuan just now. It weighs 6.01 kilograms, and has a base price of 5.5 million. The minimum price for each bid is 100,000..."
"Ten million!"
Before the auctioneer's voice fell, An Wenjun placed his bid. It would be fine if he didn't get the general mid-to-high-end jadeite, and the company could survive, but An Wenjun was definitely not willing to let go of high-end jadeite like Bingzhong.
Especially the large piece of ice, An's had long been determined to take it. However, An Wenjun had a bad start and was snatched away by Shao. At this moment, she was annoyed, so she bought it at the lowest price.
Doubled.
At the same time, An Wenjun was also sneering in his heart. The method Shao Yuhua used just now should not be used again. Even if he increases it to 20 million, An Wenjun will continue to bid with him.
"Eleven million!"
The bidder was not Shao Yuhua, but people from other jewelry companies, which were also very powerful companies. Although they were not as good as Anshi and Shawshi, they were not far behind.
"Twelve million!"
Another person directly added one million. An Wenjun glanced at Shao Yuhua suspiciously. Shao Yuhua was still sitting there with his arms folded, not looking anxious at all.
"Twelve million and one million!"
Someone raised the sign directly, and then someone raised the sign continuously. After a while, the price of this piece of ice exceeded 14 million, almost approaching the price of 15 million.
This price is not low, but it is not as good as the price of 20 million just now. This piece of jade is heavier than the one just now. Everyone knows that 15 million is definitely not the final result.
Sure enough, when the price reached 15 million, An Wenjun made another bid, this time directly increasing the price by 3 million, and quoted a high price of 18 million.
As soon as this price came out, several companies that had been competing fiercely just now paused, and the price temporarily stopped there.
However, these companies were also a little annoyed with An Wenjun. Unknowingly, half of the people at the auction had opinions about An, which An Wenjun had never thought of before.
"Twenty million!"
Shao Yuhua finally raised his sign, and everyone in the other jewelry companies fell silent. Twenty million was a loss price, and their lives were very tight. It was not like An's and Shao's who were competing desperately, and they didn't want to lose so much to buy these.
Jade raw material.
"Twenty-five million!"
An Wenjun raised his sign and added 500,000 yuan. Now An Wenjun doesn't dare to add that much at once. The more he adds, the more he will lose.
"Hey, 25 million!" Shao Yuhua laughed, raised the sign, and quoted an astonishing price.
Twenty-five million, if only a small amount is compensated for twenty million, then twenty-five million is equivalent to a compensation of more than five million. This is not a small amount. No matter how big the Shaw Brothers are, they cannot use the money to compensate like this.
Bar.
An Wenjun hesitated again. She could accept the loss, but she couldn't bear the loss. The loss of more than five million yuan for a piece of ice wool was indeed a big loss.
Looking back at Shao Yuhua, An Wenjun immediately noticed a triumphant smile on Shao Yuhua's face. Suddenly, she remembered what An Zhicheng said to her before she came:
"Wenjun, in this auction of jadeite raw materials, don't think about making money from the items you auction. The most important thing to us is to protect the market and prevent Shaw Brothers from getting these raw materials!"
Thinking of this, An Wenjun immediately showed a firm look in his eyes and immediately raised the sign before the auctioneer dropped the hammer.
"Twenty-five million one million. The lady on No. 8 bid 25.1 million. Now it's 25.1 million. Is there a higher price? If not, this piece weighs six kilograms.
The ice raw material is about to become associated with this lady!"
The auctioneer immediately yelled. His job was to mobilize the atmosphere at the scene and get the auction items to fetch higher prices.
After An Wenjun raised the sign, she glanced at Shao Yuhua proudly, but she didn't notice any disappointment on Shao Yuhua's face. Instead, she felt that Shao Yuhua had the kind of evil smile that showed that he had succeeded in his conspiracy.
"not good!"
An Wenjun's heart sank. After that, Shao Yuhua did not increase the price. This piece of ice jade, which was worth more than five million yuan, finally fell into An's hands.
At this time, An Wenjun finally understood that Shao Yuhua knew that she would continue to compete for this piece of jade, so she simply raised the price by five million to make An's pay more.
In other words, Shao Yuhua never really wanted to bid for this wool from the beginning. It is not that easy to snatch things from Anshi. His purpose is to make Anshi suffer more losses. The greater the loss for Anshi, the greater the loss.
It will be more beneficial to them, Shaw Brothers.
An Wenjun is very smart, and her guess is almost the same as the truth. Shao Yuhua did lay a trap for her this time, in order to consume more of An Wenjun's funds, and at the same time make An Wenjun's subordinates feel worried and dare not
Working so hard.
In this round of competition, An Wenjun seemed to have won, but in fact it was she who lost.
An Wenjun came from a wealthy family and was highly educated and capable, but he was obviously no match for Shao Yuhua in the complicated intrigues and intrigues. Shao Yuhua was nearly ten years older than An Wenjun, and he was the powerful vice president of Shaw Brothers, and he was more scheming than her.
Much heavier.
The results of the two confrontations made An Wenjun no longer so confident, and he became deeply fearful of Shao Yuhua.
Behind, Sima Lin, who was standing there watching the auction process, said to Zheng Kaida with great satisfaction: "Old Zheng, it seems that the effect is very good. The auction price of these jadeite is much higher than we expected!"
Zheng Kaida's face immediately showed a sense of pride, and he smiled and said: "Then, will my idea be bad? It's just the beginning, wait and see, the competition between Anshi and Shaw Brothers will become more and more intense.
The Shaw family gave up a piece of ice seed and cheated the An family, but I'm afraid they won't give up anymore. The more raw materials An family has, the harder it will be for them in the future!"
Zheng Kaida's analysis was very good. Before the auction, he carefully analyzed the competition between Shaw and An's, so he dispersed the jadeite for auction. The greater their competition, the more beneficial it would be for Zheng Kaida and the others.
With Li Yang's performance, Zheng Kaida is not afraid that they will not cooperate with his company. In this case, it is better to create more profits for Li Yang. Anyway, these big companies have tens of billions of assets, and they will lose all this money.
