Ten thousand pounds is equivalent to one hundred thousand yuan. The reason why many people are frightened is not that the offer is too high, but that the offer is fifty times higher than the starting price, which is a very rare thing in the auction process.
At the beginning, when the man in the back row shouted 220 pounds, many people thought that the man was Sotheby's trustee. But what happened next was completely beyond their expectations.
Almost everyone did not expect that a simple broken crystal kettle would trigger such bidding. And this was only the first piece of the collection. Many people had a premonition that today's auction would be very hot.
Ye Jianjun was a little impatient. Although he did not have as many high-end collections as Yu Fei, he was still considered a figure in the Kyoto collection circle. How could such a crystal pot that was not in good condition be put in his eyes?
Nearly six or seven minutes have passed now, and the bidding has not ended yet.
After the price of 10,000 pounds was announced, there was a lot of silence in the venue. Although the crystal kettle was very beautiful, many people were still unwilling to pay more than 10,000 pounds to buy it.
Twenty thousand pounds. Just when William thought the bidding was about to end and wanted to bring down the auction hammer, another voice directly raised the price to twenty thousand pounds.
This price immediately attracted a lot of discussion. The bid actually doubled and was already 100 times higher than the starting price.
Yu Fei was also a little puzzled. He had the energy of chaos to judge that the age of this pot was over a thousand years. But how did these bidders discover the anomaly? It seems that there are still people outside the world of collecting. There is a sky outside the sky.
In fact, Yu Fei was overthinking. At the auction, sometimes it is not the value of the item that determines the bidding price, but the atmosphere at the scene. Because it is people's sensibility rather than rationality that decides whether to buy or not. There are many people bidding on the spot.
, it is very likely that the price will rise, even to a level that is simply unreasonable. Sometimes, two buyers can't stand each other and want to undercut each other, which will also cause mutual conflict.
Bid.
Some people may say, how is it possible that many of the people present are rich and experienced businessmen? How could they do such a grudge-like thing like a child playing house? But you must know that the more such a person is, the more they value themselves.
The more face you have, the more likely you are to fight. If it were someone like Yu Fei, he would at most laugh it off and not spend money randomly just to fight for a moment.
Brother Ye, could these two people be Sosby's trustees? Yu Fei asked Ye Jianjun in a low voice. Ye Jianjun once briefly told Yu Fei about the internal operations of the auction. Among them, he talked about the existence of trustees. So Yu Fei
Feicai would suspect that they were Sotheby's agents.
Impossible. Ye Jianjun shook his head and said: There must be someone under Sotheby's care in this auction house. But it's definitely not these two people. Sotheby's didn't dare to do things so blatantly.
It was just when the bidding was going to end. There was a trace of dissatisfaction in Ye Jianjun's tone. However, his cultivation was much higher than that of the person who urged him before. Although he was impatient, he did not make a sound.
How about I pat and play with it? Yu Fei said jokingly.
Such a broken crystal pot can also catch the teacher's eye, Ye Jianjun joked with a smile.
No matter how small a fly is, it's still meat. Besides, it's only twenty thousand pounds. When converted into RMB, it's just over two hundred thousand. I'll pay two hundred and twenty thousand.
For the final bid, Yu Fei raised his voice very loudly and at the same time raised the bidding number 118 in his hand. It immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone present.
In a corner of the last row, a young woman with a veiled face murmured to herself: He didn't expect to see him here again. Life is really wonderful.
With a bang, the scene suddenly became noisy. If the previous price of 12,000 pounds was already very high, then Yu Fei's price of 220,000 pounds was already outrageous. This price was directly higher than the previous bid.
Eleven times more than the auction price, it is even more than eleven hundred times more
You boy, how many times have I told you, the prices here are in pounds. If you want to pay 220,000 RMB, just ask for 22,000 pounds. Because of what Yu Fei said just now, Ye Jianjun thought Yu Fei had wrongly put the RMB.
The price was shouted out
This is exactly what Yu Fei wants to achieve. Yu Fei wants to make Ye Jianjun misunderstand, so as not to arouse Ye Jianjun's suspicion when the results are revealed later.
Yu Fei gave a bitter smile and said: Brother Ye, am I not quick to talk? But fortunately, I can still afford two hundred and twenty thousand pounds, which is two hundred and twenty thousand yuan.
Ye Jianjun knew that Yu Fei was telling the truth. Apart from anything else, it was very easy to come up with the two million and two million yuan just for the position of chairman of Leng Yan Jewelry.
You, you, I have told you so many times to watch more and bid less, and I have also told you that the price is in pounds. But it’s good for you that you committed both of these two mistakes the first time you bid. Ye Jianjun said: Now only
You can hope that someone is stupider than you and shouts a higher price to save you, otherwise you will have to pay for the two million. But it doesn't matter, you are not short of that little money.
William on the stage was caught in a huge excitement
Two hundred and twenty thousand pounds, oh my god, did I hear it right? Someone offered two hundred and twenty thousand pounds. It seems that he is really destined to win. William said naggingly.
Yu Fei frowned secretly and thought to himself, you should hurry up and announce the bidding results. He was really worried that someone would offer a higher price to save him like Ye Jianjun said. In that case, he would not be able to find a reason to increase the price.
This is also the reason why Yu Fei directly raised the price to 220,000 yuan. In fact, he could have raised the price to 100,000 yuan or even 80,000 yuan. Although this could deter other bidders, it was not safe.
There are a few people who don't care about money, bidding with themselves, and even bidding the price higher than 220,000 pounds, which is more likely to arouse the suspicion of many people, including Ye Jianjun.
It's better to play it safe and directly raise the price to 220,000 pounds.
From Yu Fei's point of view, the price of this thousand-year-old crystal pot is only about 10 million yuan. If someone offers more than 2,210,000 yuan, then he will really give it to him.
The price of 220,000 pounds seems to have stunned everyone present. It is estimated that many people are scolding Yu Feier in their hearts now.
Some people who had just met Yu Fei confirmed their judgment. This Yu Fei's background is indeed not simple. He is a playboy.
Two hundred and twenty thousand pounds, is there a higher price? William raised his voice and shouted.
When I went to Yu Fei, I really wanted to go on stage and kick William hard. I already paid 220,000 pounds, but you are still not satisfied, and you are still inciting me.
Fortunately, William seemed to have heard what Yu Fei was thinking, and said loudly: 220,000 for the first time, 220,000 for the second sale, congratulations to this young gentleman.
Ye Jianjun smiled and said: Haha, it seems that it fell into your hands after all. There is no easy target to blame you. He knows that Yu Fei is rich, so he doesn't care.
Yu Fei didn't speak, but shrugged. He didn't know what Ye Jianjun's expression would be like when he knew the true value of this crystal pot.
In fact, let alone Ye Jianjun. When he learned the true price of this crystal pot, even Yu Fei himself was shocked, because its value was far more than the 10 million yuan that Fei had expected, and even more than 10 million yuan.
Ten million pounds but more than twenty million pounds, which means it reached a price of more than 200 million yuan.
Later, British Islamic culture expert Harris once wrote an article and pointed out: The value of this kettle is immeasurable. Before this, no American museum or Islamic Art Museum had ever owned a similar work, so it is extremely valuable.
According to further research by experts, this crystal kettle is not an antique exported by China at all, but was produced in the 11th century Egypt's Fatimid Dynasty between 909 and 1171 AD. It is a fake of the precious Islamic Holy Grail. It is currently the only one left in the world.
There are 6 such kettles, so they are very precious
And such a holy grail was actually mistaken for a 19th century hip flask, and it appeared openly at Sotheby's Chinese art auction, and it appeared as the first lot in the order. It can't be said that it was cruel.
It gave Sotheby a hard slap in the face, and Sotheby also faced huge claims from buyers because the starting price of two hundred pounds was also given by Sotheby. Of course, these are all things for later.
At that moment, a staff member came to sign the transaction confirmation for Yu Fei. Seeing that Yu Fei was so young, the staff member was a little worried because many people took photos of the items and did not pay. He was worried that Yu Fei would do the same.
This is the kind of person.
As if he saw the staff's worries, Yu Fei issued a check of 250,000 pounds containing Sotheby's commission and tips on the spot, which was settled on the spot. This also made Sotheby's staff worried.
Heaved a long sigh of relief
Of course, Yu Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he successfully took the photo of the crystal pot, he was really afraid that the seller or Sosby would regret it, so it was safest to hold it in his hands.
Ye Jianjun smiled and shook his head and said: You are so generous, you gave out thousands of pounds in tips alone. To be continued...
