Chapter 354 Sky-high price auction (2)

As soon as Ma Chao announced that he was going to auction the last lot, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly became tense, as if the nerves were tense for a moment. There is no doubt that all the people present came from all over the country. Yes, what did you come here for? It’s not for the Flora Cup. Now it’s finally time to auction the Flora Cup. Naturally, I’m full of anticipation and nervousness for the next auction. What I’m looking forward to is that the Flora Cup will finally be auctioned. The nervousness is the next auction.

The complete set of Kangxi Colorful December Flower God Cups, which have been lost for a hundred years and have become a masterpiece, suddenly appeared in the world. Every fan of the Flower God Cup and every porcelain lover will be crazy about it.

"In fact, it goes without saying that everyone knows what the die-casting lot is today. That's right, it is a set of colorful December flower cups from the Kangxi Dynasty. Judging from the existing handed down products, whether it is painting or tire making, the flower cups are It is the peak of Kangxi official kiln craftsmanship. However, such heavy kiln of Kangxi official kiln has never appeared in a complete set for a hundred years, so that it has become a great pity for the collectors and has become an unsolved problem. It’s an unsolved mystery, and just when friends in the collectors’ circle thought that the set of colorful December Flower God Cups from the Kangxi Dynasty had become a legend, our Dingsheng Auction House suddenly received an entrustment from a friend in the collector’s circle...”

After Ma Chao's eloquent speeches, the atmosphere of the audience was completely enhanced at once. In the scene, this meeting can be said to be exciting. In fact, Ma Chao didn't need Ma Chao to adjust the atmosphere at all. There were so many people present, but there was only one set of Flora Cup, which meant that in the end, only one person could successfully bid for this set of Flora Cup. When the auction came, the competition Needless to say how intense it was, the auction hadn't started at this moment, and the atmosphere in the audience had already become a little intense.

"Please wait a moment, I'm very sorry to interrupt you, first of all, I am a very loyal fan of the Huashen Cup, I would like to ask your company if you can disclose the origin of this client, I I am very interested in this client and would like to communicate with him, I think most of the people present have the same idea as me..."

Just when Ma Chao was about to announce the auction of the Huashen Cup, Ma Chao was interrupted by a voice suddenly from the audience, causing all the people present to follow the prestige, but it was a young man who called out. After listening to the young man's words, Everyone in the venue turned their attention to Ma Chao on the auction stage. Obviously, just like what the young man said, everyone also wanted to know who the consignor was. In fact, this question had been raised long before that. Many people have asked, but Dingsheng Auction House replied that it must follow the client's request and keep the other party's confidentiality.

"I'm very sorry, but I can't answer your question. The consignor asked to keep his identity confidential when entrusting our auction house. The purpose of our auction house is to be honest, so without the consignor's consent, we cannot disclose Those who 'reveal' their identity..."

The youth interrupted Ma Chao's words suddenly, but Ma Chao was taken aback. To the auctioneer, the auction house is like a battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to call it changing rapidly. Ma Chao was taken aback by the failure of the auction, but he didn't panic at all. He answered the young man's question without haste. Let the celebrities and experts in the collection circle who participated in this auction nod secretly.

These celebrities and experts in the collection industry have almost all auctioned things in a concealed manner. After all, sometimes they will receive some things that cannot be seen in their hands. If they want to sell, they naturally have to hide their identities. The reputation of the auction house is also more important.

In fact, Ma Chao didn't know the identity and origin of the client. He, an auctioneer, should not worry about this kind of thing.

"I can reveal one thing. Although I can't answer your question now, after the auction, maybe you will know the answer. In addition, the consignor is very likely to be sitting in our auction hall right now. ..."

Ma Chao is worthy of being the chief auctioneer of Dingsheng Auction House. He couldn't answer the young man's question, which naturally disappointed the people present. This disappointment changed the atmosphere of the audience. In order to bring the atmosphere back, he immediately added: Just one sentence, just one sentence made the atmosphere of the audience explode violently, and even caused a commotion.

"Just sitting here."

Hearing Ma Chao's words, Bai Lei who was sitting below answered with a playful smile. Of course, he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Sit down for me, you little brat."

The old man Bai stared at him, stretched out his foot and kicked him hard. Before that, Chen Ran wanted to keep his identity secret. Before that, the old man Bai knew about it. All the decisions made by Dingsheng Auction House have been communicated with Mr. Bai.

Of course, this was with Chen Ran's permission. Chen Ran was so relaxed that he directly handed over the full power to Mr. Bai.

As for the issue of identity confidentiality, Bai Lao also agrees. It is better to keep the identity secret before the auction, so as to avoid accidents. After all, many people will be jealous of the official kiln such as the complete Huashen cup, even the old man Bai dare not Guarantee whether the country will take action, but it is not the country that will take action, but those so-called experts are jealous. After learning of Chen Ran's identity, they may use various national righteousness to "force" Chen Ran, and send the complete set The Flora Cup was sold to the country at a low price.

Chen Ran doesn't worry much about this now, but it's better to avoid trouble if he can avoid it. Hiding his identity means transferring the pressure to Dingsheng Auction House, which ranks among the top ten auction houses in China. Yes, the influence is still very large, but it can withstand this pressure. Of course, the main reason is that although the Huashen Cup is valuable, it is not a national treasure with great influence. If it is a national treasure, the Dingsheng Auction House may not be able to withstand it. this pressure.

Chen Ran was looking at the auctioneer on the stage, when such a sentence suddenly sounded in his ears, which shocked him too. If his identity is exposed at this time, then imagine the consequences. Seeing that other people did not Hearing Bai Lei's words, he was relieved.

He glared at the kid angrily. What the auctioneer said made him dumbfounded. I don't know if the auctioneer really knew that he was sitting here or talking nonsense. He looked around, I found that the other people present were looking around, obviously looking for this client.

In the past few days, apart from the Huashen Cup being highly hyped, the most hyped thing is who is the owner of this set of Huashen Cup? , after all, the scarcity of the Flora Cup is well known.

In fact, Chen Ran's identity is about to be exposed on the Internet, but he has not been contacted yet. What is exposed is the movement of the Huashen Cup in the industry during this period, like a Nanjing auction house. The Flower God Cup was taken away by the mysterious person, and the treasure of the antique shop in the capital was also taken away by the mysterious person... These have all been reported, but it is a bit scattered, and some of them cannot be sure who the buyer is. Get in touch with each other, and slowly, it will definitely be discovered that the one who took away these Flower Cups belonged to the same person.

"Okay, if my friends have no other questions, then our auction will officially begin. Now we are starting to auction a set of Kangxi Dynasty Colorful December Flower God Cups. The starting price is 500 million yuan. Interested friends are invited to bid. , let us see, in the past hundred years, there has never been a complete set of Flora cups who will fall into it? Who will be the lucky winner of this set of Flora cups? I believe this lucky winner will be recorded in history ..."

Ma Chao's last three sentences were almost shouted, and the atmosphere of the audience was shouted at once.

After Ma Chao's voice fell behind, he just waited for the bidder to make an offer. As Ma Chao's voice fell, Chen Ran's heart suddenly rose. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. He was really nervous at this moment. Not to mention sweating from the palms of my hands, it felt like my heart was in my throat.

No wonder he was nervous. After all, the Flora Cup that was going to be auctioned in front of him belonged to him. It was up to him. When encountering such a thing, he would naturally be nervous. For him, this was only the first set of Flora Cup. There are six sets, and these seven sets of Huashen cups are all his net worth. Whether he can fetch a high price depends on the first set. If the first set fails to be auctioned, then there is no need to sell the next few sets.

Let alone Chen Ran, Bai Lei, if Mr. Jiang hadn't given him a hand, he would have stood up so nervous.

Even Mr. Bai and Mr. Jiang couldn't help but put up 12 points of energy at this moment to prepare for the scene of crowds, whispering, frequent quotations and placards.

However, these scenes that should have appeared on the auction site did not appear. After Ma Chao's voice fell, there was a sudden silence in the huge auction site... "The last lot, a set of colorful December flower god cups from the Kangxi Dynasty, The starting price is 500 million... "Ma Chao is not in a hurry when there is a cold spot. He has been an auctioneer for more than ten years. He has rich experience and has seen many cold scenes. No one wants it, but wants it too much, and knows that other people want it too, so they don't want to take the risk. This is also a characteristic of Chinese people, that is, the mentality of following the crowd, so he is not in a hurry, and has been standing in the cold After waiting for 5 minutes, I yelled again.

To his surprise, he shouted again, but the people below didn't know what they were thinking, and still no one answered.

"The last piece of auction is a complete set of Kangxi Dynasty colorful December flower god cups that have not appeared once in a century. The starting price is 500 million. Is there anyone asking for a price?"

After shouting twice, no one answered, and when he shouted for the third time, Ma Chao became less composed, and a thin layer of sweat broke out unconsciously on his forehead.

At the auction site, good things don’t mean they won’t be unsold. It’s normal for some treasures to be unsold, such as those involving politics, or some people involved, or being pressured, or controversial. ...and so on, it is possible that the auction will be missed.

After shouting three times, but no one answered, Ma Chao couldn't help thinking about the worst.

The huge auction hall was full of people, but at this moment it was completely silent, no one made a sound, and seemed to be holding their breath at this moment.

This can be said to have encountered an unprecedented cold spot. Chen Ran, Mr. Bai, and Mr. Jiang couldn't help but stare at each other...
