After the auctioneer left, people in the hall could not help talking. More than half of the people who came to the auction were Chinese collectors.
The remaining ten or so people are from the East, some from the United States and the United States, but most of these people come to pick up the leak, not to buy sincerely.
When these people saw the knowing smile among the Chinese collectors, they also guessed a clue. Some of them secretly had bad ideas in their hearts and wanted to make some mistakes.
Sotheby's office.
The head of Xiangjiang branch is scolding the auctioneer.
"What's the matter with you? Why do so many items flow? Are you taking the wrong medicine today or not? "
The auctioneer looked at the director awkwardly, unable to argue. He can't say it's unscientific and contrary to his own experience, can he?
"Next, no matter what you do, whether you use childcare or deception, you have to give me a performance! Especially the Ming Chenghua colorful chicken bowl cup! That's the highlight of this auction. Those Chinese collectors are also here for this. You must control it for me! " The director said fiercely.
"Yes, I will. But... What if this chicken bowl is still out of order? I think these people are likely to have an agreement with each other. If they don't bid, don't we hit them? " The auctioneer wondered.
"Agreement? Hum, what alliance is there under the interests? Do you think these people will be indifferent as long as we lower the starting price of chicken bowl? Who doesn't want to take the chicken bowl home? " In charge of cold channel.
"But... The starting price demanded by the client is relatively high. If we sell it at a low price, it's hard for the client to explain."
"Are you stupid? What does nursery do? Once the price is too low, no bidding, then we buy it ourselves! It will certainly appreciate in a few years. As long as the price is controlled within 110 million Hong Kong dollars, our company can afford it. " When the supervisor slaps the table, he makes a decision.
The chicken jar cup is not Sotheby's, but is auctioned by a client with an identity. So once they let Nur take the chicken jar cup, they must take out this part of the money. And 110 million is the limit of their company. No matter how high it is, the board of directors will not approve it.
"Well, you go. You are the most experienced auctioneer in our company. I believe this little difficulty can't help you. " The director patted the auctioneer on the shoulder and said.
The auctioneer nodded, arranged his clothes, and reappeared on the stage.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Just now the owner of this tricolor Qinyu put forward a request. He wants to use the Dutch auction method for this thing, so I'll use the Dutch auction method. Please pay attention to seize the opportunity." The auctioneer cleared his throat and said.
There are English, Japanese and Dutch auctions. The traditional incremental bidding method is the British method, while the Dutch method is opposite to the British method.
Also known as "price reduction auction", it is an auction in which the bid price of the auction target decreases from high to low until the first bidder bids (reaching or exceeding the reserve price).
A sale sale usually starts with a very high price. Sometimes, at a high level, there is no one bidding. At this time, the price drops in a predetermined amount until a bidder is willing to accept it.
In a sale auction, the first actual bid is often the last one. So, how can we talk about the fierce competition among bidders? There is no doubt that there is competition here. Although there is only one bid, the only bid is a direct response to the expectation. If you do not bid, others will bid and lose the goods.
Therefore, this kind of contradictory psychology will make people unable to restrain, and eventually a relatively high price will appear.
And sometimes it's not just one person bidding, but two or more people. At this time, the auctioneer will often improvise and increase the price until someone wins the bid.
It has to be said that the auctioneer's move is very clever, and it has a certain cracking effect on this kind of invisible alliance.
"What is Dutch auction?" Seriously, I don't understand.
"It's a price reduction auction. He calls out the highest price. If no one answers the price within a certain period of time, the price will be reduced." Chen Moyan whispered solemnly.
Zhuang Dian nodded and said in secret that this method is really better than the previous method. Moreover, the key point of this auction is a piece of sanseqin jade, which is also very attractive to everyone. I'm afraid that the previous alliance will be broken.
Sure enough, after the auctioneer showed the three color jade, there was an exclamation immediately.
The color of this jade is very beautiful. The transition of the three colors is very natural. The red, yellow and green colors are interwoven. It is obviously made of cinnabar, earth and bronze green. This kind of jade is very rare. Even Mr. Liu is surprised.
"This is an ancient jade with three colors and distinct texture. This kind of jade is rare. I won't say more. The highest price of this jade is 7 million, and the bottom price is 3 million. The price is reduced by 100000 every 30 seconds until someone calls. Now, the auction begins! "
The auctioneer announced the start of the auction of the three color jade.
The $7 million ceiling price is indeed a big premium, which is twice as high. He also set a reserve price of 3 million yuan, which is a response to the real value of the jade. Therefore, if the jade is sold at 3 million yuan, it will not lose much.
Obviously, the auction house has noticed the invisible alliance between these people.
Soon, 30 seconds later, the price of 7 million was reduced to 6.9 million. Another 30 seconds later, it's 6.8 million
Until it dropped to 5.6 million, there was still no bid. The auctioneer frowned and thought to himself that today's heresy is coming. Can these people really resist the temptation? Five and six million is about the same price.
"Now, cut the price again, 5.5 million! Is there anyone to answer the price Asked the auctioneer.
If you look at me and I look at you, it seems that they are not ready to bid.
But just as the auctioneer was about to lower the price again, suddenly someone raised the sign, and there were two people at the same time.
"Well, Mr. 13 and Mr. 26 bid at the same time. Now it's going to be a price increase auction. The two gentlemen can increase the price at will. The minimum increase is 10000 yuan. " The auctioneer made a gesture of please and said.
"Five and a half million!"
"Five and six million!"
"Five hundred and sixty thousand!"
"5.7 million!"
……
In the twinkling of an eye, the 13th and the 26th bid.
Solemnly sigh with Master Liu at the same time, knowing that the invisible alliance has been broken. In fact, the auction method is the second, the most important thing is that the auction house comes up with something of value.
Wealth and silk move people's hearts. No matter how high the prestige of Mr. Liu, it is impossible to block these people's desire for wealth and silk.
Finally, the three color jade was sold on the 13th at a price of 6.08 million, but it was a little higher than the normal auction.
The auctioneer couldn't help but smile. Knowing that his method had worked, he began to auction the next items.
However, the auctioneer was a little too happy, because he found that every time he auctioned, there was always an asshole who bid the highest price. When he wanted to ask the nursery to raise the price, he found that the asshole who bid gave up immediately.
This made the auctioneer angry. Moreover, not only the auctioneer but also several foreigners who wanted to plot against Chinese collectors suffered losses. They were forced to buy a few things they didn't like at a high price.
Those bastards who bid like they know the bottom line of the auctioneer's psychology, always make the price card extremely accurate.
When the auctioneer suffered losses several times in a row, he finally found that those bastards were either sitting around or in front of the grave!
That is to say, it is very likely that the buyer, who is called solemn, is deliberately making it bad! And he let himself shoot something like this before!
The auctioneer was angry, but he felt terrible. How does this person see through his reserve price? Can he see through his psychological fluctuations? No way. He's not Superman. He must have been approved!
But the auctioneer did not expect that the solemnity is to see through his psychological fluctuations. Use Feng Shui eye to see the auctioneer's emotional color, so as to judge his price bottom line.
Originally, solemn also want to continue to play with the auctioneer, who let them use the Chinese collectors as the big head of the injustice. But when he saw the eighth thing on display on the stage, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked surprised.
