I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Although the bidding price is not as high as millions like Nagasawa, the starting price is also over ten thousand yuan.

Li Huaide, who was in the box, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the auction go on well.

Even if only 30% of the items sold are not authentic, he can still recover the cost of investing in the auction house.

As the auction progressed, it finally came to the highly anticipated finale item - Yuan blue and white porcelain.

"Next, we welcome the finale of this auction. Please enjoy the Yuan blue and white porcelain..."

The auctioneer glanced at all the guests with her beautiful eyes and waved her hand to show the last item.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was another commotion at the scene.

When the etiquette lady slowly carried the bottle into the venue, everyone's eyes were deeply attracted by it.

"As we all know, blue and white porcelain was born in the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Yuan Dynasty. Experts have confirmed that this piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain is authentic.

Last year, at an auction in Great Britain, a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain was sold for 1.2 million pounds, and the starting price of this Yuan blue and white porcelain is 3 million Chinese yuan, and each bid increase must not be less than 100,000. "

When the host announced this astonishing starting price, the whole audience exclaimed in amazement.

Afterwards, the crowd began to discuss:

“How can this bottle be worth so much money?”

"You don't understand the market. Changze even sold a Ru kiln plate for more than 8 million, and it's already half off here!"

"If I had money, I would definitely get it!"

"Do you think that Fulai Auction House can become a strong competitor to Chengze Auction House?"

"Hey, why hasn't anyone made an offer yet?"

The atmosphere in the box was also tense, and Li Huaide and others stared at the scene in front of them.

"Why is no one bidding?"

Xu Damao asked anxiously.

If the Yuan blue and white porcelain can be sold successfully, he can also get a share of the profits.

"I think these people below can't afford this Yuan blue and white porcelain."

Qin Jingru had a unique vision and saw that the abilities of the guests present were limited.

"Do you want us to find someone to call out a price and set the pace?"

Liu Haizhong thought of asking for favors.

"Don't be silly, this Yuan blue and white porcelain is too conspicuous. If I ask someone to buy it, I'm afraid I'll lose money. It's better to let it go."

Cheng Jianjun had remained silent the whole time, but at this moment he pointed out the difficulties faced by the auction.

The reputation of the Foley auction house had not yet been fully established, and the price of Yuan blue and white porcelain was too high. Although the average wealthy person was interested, they could not afford it.

"Then let it go unsold!"

Li Huaide made a decisive decision.

At the auction, there are indeed people who act as agents.

However, as Cheng Jianjun said, if the property fails to sell, at least there is still a chance to sell it again, but once it is bought by a trustee, it will be more difficult to sell it.

As no one responded to the bid, the Yuan blue and white porcelain was unfortunately unsold.

Although many people yearn for it in their hearts, their own financial strength cannot match it.

Despite this, the auction still made the Foley auction house famous.

Many wealthy people in Beijing have heard about this recent auction.

Everyone’s first reaction to the Foley auction house is: large quantity and low prices.

Although the most precious Yuan blue and white porcelain was not sold successfully, resulting in the auction failing in terms of the highest value, the entire auction was undoubtedly a successful operation.

Li Huaide and others specially organized a celebration banquet, which was held in a lively manner at Jinchangsheng Restaurant.

“First of all, I would like to thank you all for your hard work during this period.

Once the auction house becomes bigger in the future, you will all benefit from it.

But before that, I have to toast our behind-the-scenes hero. Come on, Jianjun, you have such skills and vision at such a young age, your future is limitless!" Li Huaide stood up and raised his glass first.

"Mr. Li, you are too kind. I should be the one toasting you." Cheng Jianjun responded modestly. When he heard himself being mentioned, he immediately stood up and returned the toast.

He knew very well that the successful opening of the auction house was entirely due to Li Huaide's financial support and extensive network of contacts.

"Jianjun is right, we should all toast to Mr. Li." Xu Damao took the opportunity to flatter him, and Li Huaide was in a good mood at the moment and enjoyed his words very much.

"Da Mao has made great contributions to the promotion of this event. If you hadn't found Panjiayuan, this great place, it would have been difficult for us to accomplish this event."

"Of course, Xiao Qin's tolerance and magnanimity are also worthy of praise. Although Damao sometimes does things without considering the importance of things, fortunately Xiao Qin does not bear grudges." Li Huaide then mentioned Qin Jingru and gave her affirmation.

"As long as I can make money, I can put aside the conflicts of the past." Qin Jingru stood up and agreed with a smile.

Liu Haizhong wanted to take this opportunity to express his gratitude, but Li Huaide had already begun his concluding remarks: "We are all family, so there is no need to flatter each other.

This is just the beginning, I believe our future auctions will be even more prosperous!" As he finished speaking, "Come on, let's have a drink together!" Everyone in the room stood up and responded.

However, Li Huaide did not specifically mention Liu Haizhong, which made Liu Haizhong feel a little disappointed.

The table was filled with delicious delicacies, and everyone was eating with relish, creating a joyous atmosphere.

At the same time, items from the auction house of Foley gradually flowed into the market.

At the beginning, many people looked down on the Foley Auction House, and when they learned that the prices of their antiques were relatively low, they came up with the idea of ​​buying them.

Soon, collections with authentication certificates from Foley Auction House became very popular in the market.

Compared with collections elsewhere that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, antiques that have been professionally appraised and certified by the Foley Auction House are obviously more trustworthy in terms of authenticity.

Li Huaide naturally would not miss this opportunity. They began to produce fake antiques in large quantities and provide appraisal certificates upon request.

The increase in the number of fake antiques on the market has indirectly affected the price trend of real antiques. There have even been rumors that Nagasawa Auction House has defrauded consumers, making the order of the antique market increasingly chaotic.

Chapter 160: On New Year’s Eve again, Cheng Jianjun buys a car to show off his wealth!

After the news of the price reduction of antiques spread, the people in Beijing who were originally eager to try chose to wait and see.

Shopping psychology is often like this: when prices fall, people are eager to buy; when prices rise, they are worried that they will go even higher and thus rush to sell.

After the Foley auction, the prices of antiques in Beijing's antique market fluctuated almost every day, and the difference between reselling and buying could be as high as ten thousand yuan.

Under such circumstances, many people who were not originally interested in antiques were also attracted. Even if they realized it later, they were unwilling to watch others make a fortune.

The auction held by Foley Auction House has now become a hot topic on the streets, and Su Meng knows about it intentionally or unintentionally.

She originally planned to go and see it in person, but Uncle Liu thought that the auction house was small and its professional level and security were questionable, so she ultimately did not make the trip.

Now that rumors are spreading, it at least proves that the scale of this auction house is not as small as my uncle imagined.
