God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1450 Special Auction
As for the "spiritual turtle spitting ink" Chengni inkstone, it must be kept for collection or used by oneself.

It's a pity to just exchange those stationery items with special functions into cash.

After seeing the three old objects that Xu Jingxing took out, Ye Qing asked a little unwillingly, "That's all?"

"Isn't that enough?" Xu Jingxing said amusedly, "Of the three pieces, two are top-notch masterpieces and one is a well-known small boutique. Any auction house can hold up an auction of a medium-to-high scale. Are you still not satisfied?"

Only then did Ye Qing smile a little embarrassedly, "The main reason is that you have too many good things here."

"Don't keep thinking about me."

"Then you talked about your specialty auction before, you won't go back on your word?"

"No regrets, absolutely no regrets," Xu Jingxing said helplessly, "But you have to give me some time to prepare well. How can the special auction be so fast?"

The so-called special auction refers to the auction of a certain person's works. For example, in Gu Jingzhou's special auction, all the items in the auction were Gu Jingzhou's works, and Qi Baishi's special auction was all Qi Baishi's works.

Generally speaking, those who allow auction houses to hold special auctions are real famous artists, and it is not enough to be famous. The auction items must have a market price, and the stock and transaction volume of the works must also reach a certain level, so that they can afford special auctions .

A calligrapher like Wang Xizhi is famous enough, but without handed down works, the special session will naturally not be held.

Of course, nowadays, there are more auction houses, large and small, and the variety of special sales is also increasing day by day. In addition to the special sales of famous artists, there are also special sales of various categories, such as calligraphy specials, porcelain specials, etc., as long as they can be assigned to a category It can be divided into a special session.

However, special auctions of modern artworks are still quite rare, and special auctions for single individuals are even rarer. Only those master painters whose real names are big and whose works are very marketable are eligible to hold special auctions. Ordinary practitioners can hold a personal painting and calligraphy The exhibition is good.

But Xu Jingxing is different.

He is not well-known among the people, and his works have hardly been sold publicly. Although he has also sold many works with sky-high prices, few people publicize this point. people show off.

After the opening of the capital store, some gossip spread, but it was just gossip, and there was no official news report. There were very few reliable words and pictures, and only a small part was circulated on the Internet. Compared with the news of expensive art auctions that hit the headlines, it is so low-key that it cannot be low-key.

But in the high-end consumer circle in the capital, he is also very famous, so big that it almost surpasses any artist. Right now, his works that can nourish the body will be popular as soon as they appear on the market. Sold out, and this will continue until the market is saturated.

So he really wants to hold a personal auction, absolutely not afraid of empty space, let alone worry about not making money, it is nothing more than the difference between earning more and earning less.

As for Jingwei Auction House, it will become the top of the domestic auction industry overnight and become an existence that can compete with those international auction houses.

If Jingwei Auction House could sell one of his works for auction every now and then, the effect would be explosive.

Of course, if he did this, Xu Jingxing would lose some cash income to some extent. After all, his works went to the auction, and the handling fees and taxes were much higher than those he sold directly in the handmade shop.

But there are many benefits to Jingwei Auction House. The most intuitive benefit is that it can bring in a large number of high-quality customers. With high-quality customers in hand, the annual turnover will definitely increase. If the operation is good, it can really go crazy.

If Xu Jingxing's work is used as a signboard, it will be a supreme weapon.

If Xu Jingxing did not have that kind of relationship with Jingwei Auction House, it would be very difficult to operate this matter, but Xu Jingxing is the son of the owner of Jingwei Auction House, which is equivalent to monopolizing the auction rights of Xu Jingxing's works, so there is no need to worry that Xu Jingxing will be auctioned by other auction houses Even a qualified manager can turn such advantages into huge piles of revenue.

This special auction was proposed by Ye Qing.

In fact, Ye Qing had made a similar proposal long after he knew Xu Jingxing's identity. At that time, Xu Jingxing had not set foot in the jade carving industry.

Compared with Xu Jingxing at that time, Xu Jingxing's influence is not at the same level at all.

Moreover, Xu Jingxing was not very happy to cooperate with Ye Qing at that time, because the output could not keep up, and the grade of his works was not too high, so he did not know whether customers would buy it if there were a lot of empty lots or even failed auctions. Well, that wasn't embarrassing enough, so he was on the weak side to some extent in the cooperation at that time, which was equivalent to taking advantage of the auction house.

But now, the situation is quite the opposite. His works are not afraid of not being able to find a buyer at all. He held a special auction at Jingwei Auction House, and the auction house took advantage of him.

So, he agreed.

Well, he is such an awkward person. It is okay for others to take advantage of him, but letting him take advantage of others is more uncomfortable than being disadvantaged.

After all, it was too kind.

Ye Qing is still not at ease: "Give me a certain date?"

Xu Jingxing shook his head: "Maybe there is no certain date, anyway, don't think about it this year, let's do it next year, try to get it done in the second half of next year, first hold a test to see the market, if it works, then prepare for the next one , anyway, at most once a year, no, once every two years."

"Why don't you follow the World Cup cycle?"

"Four years? It's fine, anyway, I don't care, it doesn't matter where my things are sold."

"... next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, okay?" Ye Qing suddenly said in a coquettish tone.

"Ahem, Mid-Autumn Festival is Mid-Autumn Festival." Xu Jingxing couldn't stand the woman's coquettishness, and nodded quickly. Anyway, the money will fall into his own pocket in the end. If he works a few extra classes next summer, he will definitely be able to get together a show before the Mid-Autumn Festival. auctions.

By the way, how many lots are there in a special auction?

Ye Qing said with a smile: "If the scale is small, one or two hundred pieces is enough, and if the scale is large, there are hundreds or even thousands of pieces."

"Thousands...you can chop me up and put them up for auction," Xu Jingxing was taken aback. There are thousands of pieces. He will be busy with work from now on, and he may not be able to get them out before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. He really treats them as his. The work was picked up from the street?They were all sculpted slowly by hand, and all of them had to be very focused and hard-working to produce the expected effect.

Moreover, the higher the quality of the special auction, the better. If those small pieces of jewelry and pendants are used to fool the scene, the reputation of the auction house and himself will definitely drop, so it's better not to do it.

So the thousands of pieces that Ye Qing said were thousands of pieces of high-quality goods.

Thousands of high-quality carvings, even for Xu Jingxing, would take a long time and a lot of energy to complete.

What's more, he still has a handicraft shop to take care of, so he can't abandon his handicraft shop for such a special auction.

Ye Qing smiled and said: "Your bones and flesh are not as valuable as your craftsmanship, and you don't need to pile up the quantity to open a special show. A few top-quality items in town, dozens of ordinary top-quality items, and a few high-quality items can support a whole lot." A medium-sized special auction, considering the particularity of your works, can completely make your special auction a grand auction every few years. As long as you can hold more than five consecutive auctions, Jingwei Auction will become a top domestic auction house. "

Is this disgusting?

Xu Jingxing curled his lips and thought, "Where do you go to find such high-quality bones and meat as me?"

This is not his bragging. If you really want to chop him up, chop him up. His bones must be the hardest and best-looking bones in the world, and his meat is also the meat with the most beautiful texture, the strongest, the healthiest, and the highest quality. , hair, skin, nails, etc. must be the best, after all, ordinary people don't have such treatment as him, and can nourish themselves with high-quality aura every day.

Among other things, his bones may not have deteriorated, but the texture is absolutely fine, especially the head of the right hand and the front half of the forearm, which have turned golden under the nourishment of the spiritual energy.

Of course, that kind of gold is not the gold in terms of physical visual effects, but the gold in terms of physical properties, which means that his arm is chopped off, and the bone is a natural high-quality "magic weapon", which is a sacred object in some sects. The presence.

But the slander is the slander, he doesn't intend to let people tear him apart, he wants to enjoy life well.

As for what Ye Qing said about holding five personal auctions in a row, he was a little bit excited. It is a good thing to make money in any way to make his own auction house the top auction house in the country, and he doesn't need him. To worry about the specific work, he only needs to save a hundred or ten good works that are eligible to be auctioned every two years.

It would be foolish not to.

He didn't get into the eyes of money, but he wouldn't dislike his family's wealth, not to mention that the money earned in this way was not his own, but his family's, including his mother and sister's share.

Helping the family make money and sending money to the family are two completely different experiences, and the former is more fulfilling.

So he thought for a while and said to Ye Qing: "You can run it well, it's best to do a survey first, find out what themes and styles the local tyrants like, and give me feedback after the survey, and I'll do it," said He added here: "If you don't do it, it's fine. If you want to do it, you must do your best. And you, a big manager, don't run away halfway."

Ye Qing snorted: "Is that kind of person?"

"That might be it." Xu Jingxing shrugged, "Okay, let's go out and drink tea."

Ye Qing reluctantly left the warehouse holding the blue and white plum vase, Shi Tao's landscape painting, and the couplet by Zhao Mengfu, and came to the living room. After sitting down, she began to briefly explain her thoughts on the special auction. After talking for a few minutes, her eyes suddenly fell on Xu Jingxing's hand Congealed on the teapot.
