Chapter 205 Play a big game, one price!

For this unique and unique "Palace Quilt" that belongs exclusively to Emperor Qianlong, Christie's estimated the price at around 3 million.

Experts on site.

And the evaluators specially invited here basically give an evaluation price.

It doesn't fluctuate much.

and so.

Yang Chen set the reserve price at 3 million.

This price actually far exceeded his expectations.

after all.

Through systematic identification and evaluation.

The market value of this [Past Life Quilt] is only about 1.3 million.

And now the premium is so much.

The main thing is that it is affected by the enthusiasm and pursuit of bidders.

There is a saying that strikes while the iron is hot.

So Yang Chen thinks.

It was also a wise move not to accept Tony Laoshi's suggestion and choose to postpone it.

At this time.

On the auction stage.

The flushed face was still flushed, and the auctioneer, who was still in a state of excitement, became excited and enthusiastic again. He briefly introduced this temporary additional auction item.

Then announce.

The starting price is 1 million.

The reserve price is 3 million.

The price increase is in units of 500 million, with a bidding ladder of 250.

That is, each price increase is 500 million.

And so on.

The price increase in units of 500 million starts from the starting price, which can be said to be very rare at major auctions.

But here.

This [Past Life Quilt] from Qianlong is worthy of this price increase.

At this time.

After reading out the relevant rules, the auctioneer was about to start the formal bidding when another guest stood up in the audience.

But this time, it's not the Emperor of Shanghai.

Not Kaiyuan.

But a wealthy man from Hong Kong Island.

He smiled and said in the same broken Mandarin as Tony Laoshi. He also had a suggestion, don't use conventional bidding methods.

Just get a fixed price!

What is a fixed price?

It means that the consignor or the auction house sets a maximum price.

If no one at the scene is willing to bid the highest price, then the bidding will proceed according to the normal bidding process.

In the end, as long as the reserve price is exceeded, the bidding is considered successful.

And if someone directly bids the highest price.

Then it will be regarded as a fixed price and will be auctioned directly.

For example, the price of this [Dharani Sutra Quilt] is 5 million.

If after the auctioneer announces the start of the bidding, a bidder raises a sign and directly bids 5 million, the transaction can be completed at the same price without further bidding.

If no bidder responds to the fixed price.

The bidding will be based on the normal bidding process previously agreed upon.

of course.

On the way to the auction.

Bidders can bid for a fixed price at any time.

Thereby winning the auction item.

The advantage of the fixed price is that it can match players quickly - even faster than free price increase.

This saves time and improves efficiency.

Of course, the disadvantage is that according to the normal bidding process, the final hammer price may be higher than the fixed price, or even much higher.

After all, there are many factors that affect bidding at auctions.

Just like the last one.

The emperor of Shanghai battles the husband of the people.

Who would have expected that the final price of that dagger would be as high as 300 million!
  If it's a fixed price.

Regardless of the consignor or the auction house, the maximum is set at around 200 million.

and so.

Compared with free price increases, the fixed-price price increase model is even rarer in major auctions.

therefore.

When the Hong Kong tycoon in the audience proposed a fixed-price bid, the auctioneer immediately looked embarrassed and once again turned his attention to the president, Mr. Tony.

Tony Laoshi thought for a while.

There was no immediate rejection or acceptance.

Instead, he went on stage and asked the guests for their opinions.

Of course.

The most important thing is the opinions of those big bosses. As a result, all the big guys agreed.

see.

Tony Laoshi announced that the auction would be suspended. He found Yang Chen and asked for his opinion.

Yang Chen thought about it seriously.

I think it's a fixed price.

feasible.

His reserve price is 3 million.

It is estimated that it will be sold for around 3 to 4 million.

So since it’s a fixed price, it’s natural to set it higher.

I thought about it.

Yang Chen stretched out five fingers.

Set at 500 million.

see.

Tony smiled slyly: "Mr. Yang, you are still too conservative. The price is one billion! What do you think?"

billion?

Hearing this fixed price, Yang Chen's mouth twitched.

Oh shit.

Enough!

As expected of the experienced, obscene, and bold and shameless CEO of Asia Pacific, Mr. Tony is always wet.

You really dare to raise a price!

That's right.

This Qianlong Dharani Sutra Quilt is indeed an extraordinary and unique antique.

but.

You say it's worth 10 small goals?

Ok.

Perhaps Tony Laoshi, who is experienced, good at analysis, and has a sharp eye, has his reasons for setting this fixed price.

But as far as Yang Chen is concerned.

One billion is still an exaggeration.

but.

Tony Laoshi's next words made him nod in agreement.

Very simple.

First of all, the significance of this [Past Life Quilt] to some people who care about it is far greater than its value.

Secondly, whether the fixed price is set at one billion or tens of billions, it will not affect normal bidding.

Thirdly, the main reason was that the interested bidders at the scene were too enthusiastic. Let’s not talk about others. Taking Qiyuan’s lineage as an example, it might be a bit fake to lose everything.

But I will never give up easily.

and so.

The fixed price must be set higher in order to reflect the value of the [Dora Book Quilt], maximize profits, and avoid possible losses.

That being the case.

Yang Chen has no reason to disagree.

Subsequently.

Under Tony Laoshi's instructions, the auctioneer re-read the bidding rules.

The previous bidding mode remains unchanged.

But I accepted the proposal of the Hong Kong tycoon and added a fixed-price model.

If multiple people raise their placards at the same time to quote a fixed price, the one who raised the placard first shall prevail. If there is a dispute, the on-site surveillance video will be used to determine the price to ensure notarization.

The price of Qianlong’s [Dharani Sutra Quilt] is: 10 billion!
  After the price is quoted.

Almost everyone was stunned by it.

This is 10 billion soft girl coins!
  Not Venezuela, not Vietnamese dong.

So to speak.

Looking at the antique auctions in China over the years, the highest auction record holder is Mr. Qi Baishi's "Twelve Screens of Landscape".

With a hammer price of 8.1 million soft sister coins, plus commission, the transaction price is as high as 9.3 million.

It has become the most expensive piece of art in China.

And this [Past Life Quilt], the fixed price is directly quoted at 10 billion?
  I can only say how bold people are and how productive the land is!

Mr. President Tony Laoshi’s ambition is not ordinary!

This is the pace to break the global auction record for Chinese art!
  tonight.

The highest record of Qianlong Jade Seal has been broken.

Qianlong's royal dagger fetched an unprecedented high price.

just now.

The ambitious Tony Laoshi is ready to keep up his efforts, play another big game, and create another sky-high record.

just.

[Dharani Sutra Quilt] Although it is good.

But a price of one billion?
  Will anyone take it directly?

Just when many guests felt that it was unlikely that they would eventually return to the normal bidding mode, when the auctioneer announced that the bidding had officially begun.

Everyone was dumbfounded.
