My life has subtitles

Chapter 183 Auction ()
  Also.

At an auction, choosing a seat is also very particular.

For high-end high-end auctions, the seats are usually arranged by the organizer, so there is not much room for choice.

But like seats in a hotel club, veteran players have a lot to choose from.

Except for some special seats: such as VIP, or exclusive booths, veteran players will generally choose a seat as far back as possible.

Because the further back you sit, the more you can see and listen in all directions.

If you raise your sign at this time, you don't have to look behind you to see if there is anyone bidding against you, because all the buyers are in front of you, and you can see them clearly.

You can judge your opponent's psychological price for the item based on the speed of the card raised in front of you, or even the height of the card raised.

For example, the other party quickly raises his sign no matter what the price is. It seems that he is determined to win. Do you still fight?
  For another example, if you see the person holding the sign in front of you hesitating at the back, maybe the price of the lot has reached his heart's price, so you can kill it with one strike, etc.

and also.

When you see an item you are determined to win, you can actually raise your hand to confuse the audience.

Under normal circumstances, the auctioneer only recognizes the cards and not the people.

but.

The purpose of the auctioneer is to facilitate the sale of the lot.

This is the meaning of his work.

Therefore, as long as you raise your hand firmly, the auctioneer will generally recognize and accept it.

And the reason for not raising the cards and raising hands to confuse the audience is, of course, not targeting ordinary people, but the kind of authoritative people in the circle.

For example, there is a well-known city in Panama in the antique circle.

If he raises his hand on the spot, he may not be able to get this thing.

Why?

Because when he puts up a sign, everyone knows that it is a good thing, and they will rush to bid for it.

But raising your hand to answer the price is different.

He raised his hand directly in front of him, using his body to block his gesture so that the people behind him would not see his gesture.

Even giving the auctioneer a clear signal with one finger.

I want to increase the price!

The auctioneer will increase the price according to the steps.

This is why there are times when you are sitting in the back row and don’t see anyone raising a placard. As a result, the auctioneer’s quotation keeps going up. It’s not that no one is raising a placard, but that someone is holding it up secretly to prevent you from seeing it.

Yang Chen feels that this is very practical for him.

It is no exaggeration to say that now, in the Chunan antique circle, he is almost a bright light.

I won’t mention the legend of Tianxin Pavilion picking up four leaks in one day.

Pick out the missing jade.

Great victory over Liu Feifan.

Then I saw Xie Xinran’s fake paintings at a glance.

Then there is Qianlong’s royal dagger, and Chen Mingyuan’s Hezheng pumpkin pot...

What is even more legendary is that several of them were actually picked up under the nose of Mr. Lin Shugeng, the master of antiques in Chunan.

Moreover, Mr. Lin is good at calligraphy, painting and jade.

Mr. Lin was also amazed and praised him as a genius.

In a short period of time, Yang Chen became a well-known antique connoisseur in the Chunan antique circle.

and so.

At this auction, many people were staring eagerly at Yang Chen.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Chen paid a deposit to Tangshan and asked him to cover.

Others, including Mr. Lin, Huang Ronglin, Guo Xueren and other old acquaintances, were secretly speculating on what Brother Yang would like?
  Do you want to take a hand when the time comes?
  just now.

A group of guests began to enter and take their seats.

There are some exclusive VIP booths at the front of the venue.

It's reserved for the big guys.

Including high-end people such as Lin Lao, Mu Bang, Qi Yuan, Liu Jia, Huang Ronglin, Guo Xueren, etc., industry authorities, business tycoons, etc.

Because I have witnessed Yang Chen’s legend with my own eyes.

so. Under Tony Laoshi’s arrangement, Yang Chen also had a place.

However, Yang Chen declined.

Instead, based on the lessons learned, I chose an ordinary, relatively backward position.

This attracted Mr. Lin and other old players to point at him and joke, saying that Brother Xiao Yang is very experienced, and it seems that he already has something he likes.

Yang Chen smiled faintly.

Hidden power and fame!
  As for Tangshan?

This guy was very carefree and sat directly in the front row. He looked around in a very novel way, especially the beautiful ceremonial clothes on the stage that had the bonus of cheongsam uniforms. He paid close attention to them for a long time.

Yang Chen smiled helplessly.

shook his head.

In this situation, if you are truly motivated and someone who strives to improve yourself, you will definitely do your homework beforehand.

At worst, I will focus on tonight's auction.

Tangshan is just having fun and watching the excitement.

This can't be done!

I thought about it.

Yang Chen thought it would be better to wait for the auction to end and take the opportunity of drinking to give him a heads up.

Whether he listens or not is his business.

As a brother, you should always try your best to help him.

How can it not be as satisfying as everyone wants, but just be honest in your heart!

20: 00.

Today's last special auction officially begins.

Mr. Tony, President of Christie's Asia Pacific, came on stage and gave a simple speech and introduction. After that, the auction began to enter the formal auction session.

The first lot was the one that Yang Chen was interested in [a yellow satin cassock from the late Qing Dynasty. 】

Starting price: 8.

The client's reserve price is 10.

According to the relevant rules of antique auctions, the consignor's reserve price can be made public or kept confidential, and can also be adjusted temporarily during the on-site bidding process.

Also.

For antique auctions to be valid, at least two people must participate in the bidding.

Bidding by only one person will be invalid.

of course.

This rule has been revised and changed in some auctions, such as real estate, vehicles, etc., and one person can also bid.

But now.

In this auction at Christie's, it takes two.

Yang Chen vowed to get this [Yellow Satin Kasaya from the Late Qing Dynasty].

Because there is a [Dharani Sutra Quilt] worth 1.3 million sewn into the lining of this cassock.

This [Dharani Sutra Quilt] is made of Tibetan antelope cashmere, camphor cashmere, money and other materials, and is woven with double-sided tapestry to create a five-color Sanskrit sutra quilt.

They say every inch of tapestry is worth an inch of gold!

This kind of tapestry is a noble fabric exclusive to the imperial palace.

And this sutra quilt, according to the system's annotation, is the body quilt used by Emperor Qianlong after his death.

Priceless!
  During the preview, after systematic analysis and judgment, there were zero buyers interested in bidding for this [late Qing Dynasty yellow satin cassock].

But Yang Chen also knew.

If you take action yourself, it may trigger the butterfly effect and break this zero.

So this task was handed over to Tangshan.

If necessary, it is not too late to take action himself.

On the auction stage.

The auctioneer pointed to the big screen and began to introduce this humble-looking [Yellow Satin Kasaya from the Late Qing Dynasty].
