Chapter 1639: Strategic capture
Towards evening, the auction really took out the treasures at the bottom of the box.
The first item is a teapot from the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Ran raised the sign without hesitation and wanted to take a photo of it.
When the others saw Lin Ran raising the sign, they also started to take pictures without politeness.
The same is true for the fat man next to him.
In a short time, the teapot was sold for [-] yuan.
People still didn’t stop moving, and there were still people holding up signs and taking pictures.
The auctioneer was immediately delighted.
It is estimated that this tree gall pot can be sold with a minimum guarantee of 10 yuan, which really makes him happy.
I was the one who made the big mistake.
The auctioneer is overjoyed. After the auction, his net worth will also increase dramatically.
Guan Yun was full of doubts. Taking advantage of the break in the auction, he couldn't help but ask: "Is there an insider arranged by the auction?"
Lin Ran shook his head.
"There's no need to ask for it now, just the other items. This gall pot is extraordinary."
"Speaking of which, why are the organizers so high-profile? Let others know that they are being entrusted?" Guan Yun naturally couldn't understand. If what the organizers did was true, it was simply breaking the law.
Guan Yun helped Lin Ran ask out his doubts.
Lin Ran was actually quite confused. The organizer was indeed too high-profile.
In fact, if you can get some connections, the first half is easy to understand. After all, there is a saying that everyone you meet in the capital has some connections. If you investigate and clarify the connections, everyone can understand.
But why did you compare the museum collection with this exhibit at the end?
Is it just to make more money?
Lin Ran was also full of questions, so he just replied: "Let's take a look at the situation. I don't understand either."
Looking at the people around him, there aren't many unnecessary movements.
They seemed to have already targeted this collection, and the entire auction was aimed at this goal.
The previous auctions had no sense of existence.
Bidding intensity and prices are more exaggerated than before.
Lin Ran didn't think that they just wanted to make their presence known. There must be something hidden behind it.
But of course he couldn't figure it out now.
The auction continued, and the fat man next to him said secretly, with a heavy tone full of doubts, and asked: "Didn't any of you attend the preview?"
"Preview?"
The fat man nodded slightly. It seemed that this was indeed his first time here.
Lin Ran thought for a moment and said, "Did you see the exhibit before?"
This auction house must be so courageous. They even preview the exhibits before the auction, so they are not afraid of being reported.
The fat man then explained: "Not that many people have seen it, so it's normal that you haven't seen it."
"Yes." Lin Ran nodded slightly. The staff around him had turned their faces towards them, as if to warn them not to continue talking.
This auction house has too many rules, but it's no wonder that cultural relics of this level appear here, so risk control must be done.
But Lin Ran was even more confused, how could such a thing appear here?
The auction was continuing, and the fat man did not dare to talk to him anymore.
He didn't know the identity of the boss behind the auction house. He only knew that he was a guy who could never be messed with.
And the reason why he wants to take down the gall pot this time is actually to make money. As for who Mr. Smith wants to take back to the country or give it to, he doesn't care at all.
He only knew these seven treasures, and his mission was to capture two to three of them.
The more you can get, the better, funds are not a problem.
He is not worried that these seven items will be fake, because he is already a regular customer of this auction house, and the boss has no reason to use fake items for auction at the bottom of the box.
"8." The fat man raised the number plate in his hand.
Now that the price is rising, Lin Ran is not in a hurry to shout.
He planned to see how high the price would eventually rise. At present, this antique was still very easy to sell. The atmosphere in the venue was still very high. People kept raising their number plates and shouting higher prices. price.
During the auction break, Lin Ran paid attention to the people around him.
No. 8 is also determined to win the tree gall pot, and has been following others in bidding. Now, whenever someone bids a higher price, the auctioneer will look at his side.
He was not disappointed, because Zhou Yitian would keep bidding.
"These poor guys can really raise prices!" Zhou Yitian said through gritted teeth.
In fact, he felt very unhappy. He originally planned to buy the gall pot for less than 10 yuan, but now the price has been raised to 12 yuan.
He was really reluctant to spend this money, but it was enough for him to make a small investment.
"That's all, just think it's for the Zhou family." He gritted his teeth and then participated in the auction.
As for Ma Zhen, he had no interest in the auction item at all and just sat silently.
Everyone here is a knowledgeable person, but everyone has their limits.
It can be seen from the starting price of 5 yuan that this gall pot must be expensive, and most people come with a purpose, so the price keeps rising.
The final price actually rose to 30.
Even the auctioneer's own hands were shaking.
The price of 30.
Although Lin Ran could get so much cash flow, he felt it was not worth it and finally chose to give up.
It wasn't until the end that the gall pot was bought by a man wearing an Ultraman mask.
Although the masks are somewhat comical, they are a means for auction houses to protect buyers.
Lin Ran noticed something.
This buyer’s number turned out to be No. 102.
The prices of the exhibits that will be auctioned next are also unusually high, with basically transaction prices of around 20 yuan.
He did not buy any of the exhibits, and Ma Zhen got his white jade lion statue as he wished.
The auction was finally over, and the auctioneer left the booth. At this time, the manager walked up to the stage again and said to everyone: "Today's auction is over here. Please all the customers who just took the photos of the exhibits to follow me to the backstage." , you can take your exhibits away after paying the auction fee.”
He was full of enthusiasm, he made a lot of money from this auction.
As the auction ended, customers gradually left.
As for those of them who bought the auction items, the brand team followed him.
There were many security guards nearby, all with electric batons in their hands.
Here, they are still not allowed to whisper to each other in private.
This kind of rule seemed a bit bizarre to Lin Ran.
Doing business in China has always put customers first, unless it is in some monopolistic industries.
Like the auction house, restricting their freedom of conversation, if it were another auction house, I am afraid it would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Who wants to be controlled, and these are business tycoons.
