After hearing the self-introduction of the other party, Zhang Yuan also understood the identity of the person on the stage.
The big boss of this casino, I didn't expect that he would be the one to host today's auction.
Zhou Guangshen on the stage took out a porcelain plate from behind and said to them.
"Since everyone is here to play today, I won't go into details. I have a porcelain plate that I bought for two million."
After saying that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he threw the porcelain plate to the ground.
Many people exclaimed, "Two million dollars worth of stuff was smashed."
De Gu was also full of question marks, and he didn't understand Zhou Guangshen's operation.
"Zhang Yuan, what is he doing?"
Zhang Yuan didn't have much reaction to this and explained to Degu.
"This is a slang term for auctions, which means you buy it and leave it. If you buy a fake, you have to admit it yourself and don't bother the casino."
After Zhang Yuan's explanation, Degu suddenly realized.
"Your country is indeed very culturally sophisticated. Even if you don't speak, you can still express such meaning. It's amazing, it's amazing!"
Zhang Yuan also felt very proud of Degu's praise.
Our country's civilization has a long history. After these foreigners see it, they can only sigh at the profoundness of their country's culture.
As Zhou Guangshen clapped his hands on the stage, the auction officially began.
The first thing on stage was a porcelain plate, and Zhou Guangshen introduced it to everyone in the audience.
"I don't know the origin of this porcelain plate, but it is a piece of Song porcelain."
As soon as Zhou Guangshen said these words, it immediately caused a sensation in the audience.
Generally speaking, auctions start from the Qing Dynasty and go up bit by bit. This beginning is from the Song Dynasty. Even Zhang Yuan was a little shocked.
"To thank everyone for coming, the starting price for this piece of Song Dynasty porcelain today is two million. If you like it, please bid!"
Another bombshell, everyone present felt incredible.
Zhang Yuan also frowned slightly. He really didn't understand Zhou Guangshen's operation.
With this starting price of two million, no matter what happens in the end, the price will not differ much.
What's the point of doing this?
As people bid, the price of this Song porcelain plate quickly soared to fifteen million.
Although the subsequent price did not rise as fast as before, it was still rising slowly.
When it reaches around 20 million, there are only a few sporadic people bidding.
Zhang Yuan took a look at this piece of Song porcelain and estimated that it was worth about 22 million.
"Zhang Yuan, aren't you ready to take action? Why don't you try asking for the price?"
De Gu asked from the side.
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said.
"This thing is only worth about 22 million. You will lose money if you buy it. We are all businessmen, you know."
Degu also understood what Zhang Yuan meant when he said this. Those who do business must do it without profit.
Sure enough, the last Mr. Gao spent 23 million to win the porcelain plate.
It was not much different from what Zhang Yuan had estimated. De Gu was surprised on the sidelines. With such an accurate estimate of Zhang Yuan, he once again saw Zhang Yuan's ability.
"Okay, let us congratulate Mr. Gao. Next, what we are going to auction is a very collectible item."
Following Zhou Guangshen's wave, the staff brought up a small glass box.
Zhou Guangshen directly removed the cloth covering the box, and a very exquisite colorful cup appeared in front of everyone.
Suddenly many people couldn't sit still, and even Zhang Yuan wanted to move.
Degu saw it and asked in confusion.
"Zhang Yuan, what is this, are you also interested in it?"
"I just didn't expect that they all have this kind of thing. The cup on the stage is called the Doucai Chicken Cup. You just need to know that this thing was used by the emperor of our country to drink."
Zhang Yuan also stared at the stage and explained to De Gu.
I didn't expect this second item to be so precious. This casino seems to have a lot of energy.
"I won't tell you how many pieces there are for this colorful chicken cup. The owner who knows the goods can just ask for it, but I won't set a starting price."
As soon as Zhou Guangshen finished speaking, an old man stood up and spoke directly.
"Fifty million!"
It was only half a small goal at the beginning, which immediately made everyone present look stupid.
After that, no one was willing to pay a higher price. The old man made a big move and successfully won the Dou Cai Chicken Cup.
"Zhang Yuan, isn't this a cup that people used in the past? Why is it so expensive?"
In the eyes of foreigners, anything that has been used is not considered a good thing. This is the cultural difference.
Zhang Yuan could only give him some popular science.
Because the emperor used to have the highest status, the things he used basically represented the highest craftsmanship at that time.
Only then did Degu understand.
He used to be curious about the fact that these auctions in his country were basically used by some people, and they were worthless there.
Unlike the Pharaoh's scepter, those things are made of gold and have real collection value. Or they may be paintings by a famous artist, which can also be hung on the wall for appreciation.
Therefore, Degu is really not very interested in these things from his own country, unless it is some calligraphy and painting.
The next items to be auctioned are not as good as the previous two items.
And it was also mixed true and false. Zhang Yuan also understood why Zhou Guangshen wanted to auction the two most precious items at the beginning.
This is to arouse the curiosity of the people present, so that subsequent items will be much easier to sell.
This also made Zhang Yuan sigh, this is indeed a casino owner, he has such a thorough grasp of people's hearts.
But Zhang Yuan has no interest in any of these things.
Instead, Degu took a picture of the last piece of calligraphy and painting. The price was not that expensive. He didn't care whether it was authentic or not, he just wanted to buy it as a souvenir.
With Degu's bid, the auction ended.
"Everyone took pictures of what they wanted today, but some friends didn't take pictures. They must be dissatisfied. For this reason, we have also prepared entertainment projects for you."
As Zhou Guangshen clapped his hands, a group of staff directly moved up the stones one by one.
"Today's entertainment project is stone gambling. Anyone here and interested can come down and take a look."
Zhang Yuan never thought that stones could be gambled in the casino.
This was beyond his expectation, but thinking about it the other way around.
There is a reason why Guangzhou and Shenzhen can make the casino the largest in Australia this week.
His one-hand operation at least proves that this person is very capable.
Zhang Yuanye stood up and said to Degu.
"Are you interested in gambling on stones? Let's go down and take a look?"
