The first pair of small bronze lions, as the first lot, is a rare masterpiece.
The small item with a starting price of 50,000 yuan was quickly auctioned off for 300,000 yuan.
Xiaoqi didn't raise the bid rashly, but first looked at how others bought.
Generally, people bid by raising a sign, and there is a minimum bid increase to prevent people from causing trouble by adding one or ten dollars.
Each bid must be increased by at least five thousand, or multiples of five thousand.
The pair of small bronze lions were finally sold for 480,000 yuan.
Xiao Qi turned around and asked Sister Wang, who had a stern face but was actually very easy to talk to, "Is this price normal or too high or too low?"
Although Sister Wang wasn't a professional, she had worked at this auction house for over eight years and patiently explained, "The price is okay, not outrageously high. Usually, auction houses give good small, exquisite items for their first sale. If you like it, it's still a good deal."
The next step was to take a picture of the painting that Xiaoqi saw at the wrong time.
The reserve price of that painting was over 500,000 yuan, and there were many bidders. It was even more lively than the first pair of bronze lions. This painter is very famous and his paintings are rare, but Xiaoqi found that the time did not match, so it was obviously a fake, but it was also a fake from that dynasty. Perhaps because of this reason, the auction house did not detect it.
The final sale price was 1.2 million.
There are so many rich people... I don’t know what a painting like this can be used for, not to mention it’s not real, but it cost more than one million.
In this way, Xiaoqi looked at many items at the auction but didn't buy anything.
Sister Wang was still very patient in introducing a few words, but a little girl was not pleased and murmured quietly: "Hold the brand, these things are so expensive, if you can really afford them, why bother to work part-time."
Although the sound was small, almost everyone could hear it. Xiao Qi heard it, but just smiled indifferently.
The money is yours, you can spend it whenever you want.
At this time, a pair of seed-material Guanyin and Buddha statues were put on the market. They were taken out from the same piece of material with the skin left on. They were carved by Suzhou jade carving master Mr. Jiang Yunhe himself. Jiang Yunhe is over 80 years old and rarely works now. Usually, his apprentices and disciples carve them.
This pair of Guanyin and Buddha were made by Jiang Yunhe himself and have his certificate. This piece of seed material is very interesting. The skin is like a cloak. There is a crack in the middle of the original stone. Master Yunhe split it in two at the largest crack and made two carvings. The other fine hair lines were cleverly carved into Guanyin and Buddha, as if they were wearing beautiful robes.
Guanyin has an extremely beautiful appearance, and one can be captivated by her appearance.
The Buddha statue smiles kindly, and just looking at it makes you feel good.
This pair is auctioned together with a starting price of 200,000.
The reserve price is very low. The material originally had cracks, but the master's skillful carving avoided these cracks, making it magnificent.
However, if Master Yunhe were to bid for it now, it would cost more than 200,000 yuan. This is probably the charm of the auction. People always feel that they can get a bargain, just in case no one bids or the bid price is not much.
Xiaoqi is also very interested in this pair of seed-material Guanyin and Buddha because the butterfly jade pendant worn by Yunshu is made of Hetian jade.
She thought she could take a picture of it and give it to her parents, one for each.
After listening to Sister Wang's introduction and analysis, she set a reserve price for herself. The worst thing to do when buying things at an auction is to argue with others, as you can easily exceed your budget.
Xiaoqi thought that if this couple was within 500,000, she would buy it, but if it was more than 500,000, she would not want it.
As a result, someone directly bid 600,000 yuan just after the start... Xiaoqi, there is no need to hesitate or worry.
These two materials are particularly smooth, not particularly white, but slightly yellow, and the color is like sheep fat, which is commonly known as mutton fat jade. The cracks are perfectly integrated into the carving, making it even more vivid. It can be said to be the pinnacle work of Master Yunhe. Moreover, at his age, it is hard to say whether he can produce more works. They are a pair of Guanyin and Buddha. For various reasons, the price can easily soar to one million.
Sure enough, the 600,000 yuan did not scare off the later bidders.
In the end, it was sold for 1.88 million.
Next are some of the items for tonight's charity auction. They were sent in by guests, and the prices were all weird and inflated. Things like worn tie clips could be sold for hundreds of thousands.
Very confused.
However, Sister Wang said that although it was just a tie clip, the emerald inlaid on it was still very valuable and it would not be too much of a loss. Although it was a charity, everyone's money did not come from the wind and still had corresponding value.
Xiaoqi felt that he had broadened his horizons.
Charity auctions are different from auction houses, as the items auctioned are more casual.
There are also cheap ones that cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Xiaoqi saw Jin Yingying come on stage to help a client hold up an item, a particularly colorful lamb, so small that it could fit in the palm of her hand. She said it was an ancient jade from the Qing Dynasty, and the other party mentioned the starting price as 10,000.
This starting price is probably because the owner himself is not sure about the time. There are too many fake ancient jades. If they are really fake, the process of making them is also disgusting, such as soaking them in sewage or something.
Moreover, the ancient jade from the Qing Dynasty has such bright colors... It doesn't look like something from the Qing Dynasty, but rather like a modern handicraft.
Charity bidding is more casual and there is no limit on the bid increase, because the money from charity auctions is donated to charity organizations.
Jin Yingying stood there holding the tray and the sheep.
It was a bit quiet below for a while. No one even raised a sign at the reserve price. The customer planned to buy it himself and regard it as a donation of 10,000 yuan.
Xiaoqi was a little nervous. She saw Jin Yingying first, because among the group of girls, Jin Yingying was the most familiar to Xiaoqi. Her temperament was like a half-finished Chu Yu.
In this way, Chu Yu is still much more powerful. He works hard every day. When Xiao Qi thinks about him, he is mostly impressed.
Then she saw the lamb on the plate she was holding. She was born in the Year of the Sheep, which was one of the reasons why her grandmother hated her. Her grandmother always said that women born in the Year of the Sheep had a miserable life, bad luck, and would bring bad luck to their family. This made Xiaoqi feel inferior since she was a child.
The host introduced that it was an ancient jade from the Qing Dynasty. It was incredibly bright, like a little red lamb. Xiao Qi looked over and took a closer look. How could it be from the Qing Dynasty? This lamb had a history of at least 1,600 years, almost from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, not modern times. He just didn't know why the surface looked so bright.
Seeing that no one raised a sign, Xiaoqi raised his sign decisively.
Ten thousand yuan.
The host said it several times, and no one raised it again, so this thing belonged to Xiaoqi.
Sister Wang next to her remained silent.
I thought to myself, the little girl must be from a wealthy family. She didn't take pictures of so many things before, but she took a picture of this obviously handicraft. She must be doing it for charity.
Then she became even more agreeable.
Until the last item came on stage.
Xiaoqi also went on stage.
Originally, Xiao Qi thought that she had no problem lifting the bronze artifact, but she was worried that if she lifted it too easily, customers would think it was a fake and light, so she didn't say anything.
Sister Wang was relieved when she saw that she arranged for Xiaoqi to go on stage last, and the little girl obeyed obediently without saying a word. She was really afraid that the rich man's girl would finally quit.
