Suddenly, the whole venue burst into enthusiastic applause, enduring unfailingly.

For a long time, Chen Deliang straightened his waist again. Although he was full of white hair and hanging old, there seemed to be something to support him, making him stand tall, and his face seemed to exude a kind of brilliance. Inner integrity and kindness.

"This time the auction items are all donated by caring people from all walks of life in Hong Kong. All the auctioned money will also be used for the treatment of leukemia patients. All accounts are open to the whole society, and everyone's supervision is welcome!"

As he spoke, Chen Deliang looked at MacLehose's position, made a gesture of please, then bowed again to the audience, and walked towards the audience.

At the same time, the Governor MacLehose, who was sitting in his seat, also stood up and walked to the center of the stage, bowing to everyone.

"Papa..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everyone, I am honored to stand here to speak for the glorious moment that is coming. The development and progress of Xiangjiang in all aspects cannot be separated from the joint efforts of all walks of life..."

"Papa..."

There was a warm applause on the scene again.

After MacLehose stepped down, the general manager of Sotheby's Auction House came back on stage again, thanking him and went down again.

Then, another old man in a suit and leather shoes and white gloves walked out from the side of the stage with a smile on his face.

All the people present were refreshed, and they knew that the auction would begin soon.

Many people who are keen on collecting on the field showed a look of surprise on their faces after seeing the visitors. Obviously, he did not expect him to preside over the auction.

Before Xia Yu came, he asked someone to check the information of Sotheby's auction house, so he recognized who the auctioneer was at this moment, because he had just read his resume in the morning.

Cai Keming, 55 years old this year, is the chief auctioneer of Sotheby’s Auction House. He has 30 years of auction experience. He is the first Chinese from Xiangjiang Jiangsu Forbes Auction House to receive the “White Glove” honor. He is also the entire Xiangjiang and even the whole The first Chinese in the auction industry in Southeast Asia to win the'White Glove'.

Not only that, he is also the record holder of the entire Xiangjiang'White Glove', and the auctioneer who has won the most'White Glove' honors, and has set the honor of'White Gloves' for 15 consecutive games. His reputation is far-reaching and he is the best in the auction industry. A well-known figure.

As long as he presided over the auction, the grade will not be low!

Here, popularize the concept of "white gloves".

The highest honor of the auctioneer profession is to obtain the "white gloves". Being awarded the white gloves is the highest honor of the auctioneer. It marks that an auction has reached a 100% transaction rate.

It also represents everyone's high recognition of you, so if the auctioneer gets a "white glove", his status is like the Oscar winner of the film and television industry, and his status is very lofty.

In this auction, the grades of the auction items are not top-notch, but Cai Keming is still presided over the auction, which also represents Sotheby's auction house's emphasis on this auction.

But think about it, even though the quality of this auction is not top-notch, the people present at the auction are definitely top-notch among the top, and the difficulty of this auction is very small, and it is foreseeable that there will be absolutely no missed auctions.

However, the Sotheby's auction will arrange Cai Keming's sledgehammer to appear, presumably the purpose is to make Cai Keming do his best to increase the auction amount as much as possible.

A top auctioneer and an ordinary auctioneer auction the same item, the gap is very large.

A top auctioneer is able to discover minor details all the time, and use them to mobilize the competitive atmosphere in the venue, so that an auction item can be sold at a high price as much as possible!

This ability requires not only talent, but also years of accumulated experience. It can be said that every top auctioneer is a top language master and psychologist.

Therefore, every top auctioneer is the treasure of the auction house and an important cornerstone to keep the auction house going.

So, this time Cai Keming presided over the auction, no wonder everyone in the know was surprised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I am the auctioneer Cai Keming. I am honored to preside over tonight’s auction for you. This auction is based on the principles of openness, fairness, fairness, honesty and credibility, and I hope that everyone will actively bid for it. And good luck to everyone!"

Cai Keming showed a gentle smile, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, the speed of speaking was very appropriate, and his speech was clear, so that everyone could hear clearly.

"Let me read out the auction rules and precautions of this auction..."

"Next, please have our first lot tonight!"

After Cai Keming finished speaking, the lady of etiquette standing by and waiting with the plate immediately walked to the front of the stage with graceful steps, gently placed the plate on the stand, and then gently lifted the covered red cloth.

Everyone's eyes are fixed on the booth looking forward to the appearance of the first blockbuster lot.

In this auction, the first lot was kept secret, and it was not marked in the album, just to mobilize the atmosphere of the auction at the beginning.

Moreover, the first auction item, although not the best, is also the top of all lots and has the widest audience. It is to increase the amount of auction items that will appear in the beginning and increase the transaction amount of the next auction items. .

"Wow, it turned out to be this..."

At the moment the red cloth was opened, the true face of the first auction item was revealed. Some people couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, and some showed joy, obviously they had ideas about this item and planned to participate. The bidder who bids.

"This lot was donated by the Keswick family. Before the auction, I would like to thank the Keswick family for their generous dedication..."

"The reserve price is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the minimum price increase is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars each time the placard is raised. I announce that the first auction of the lot has begun!"
