Chapter 58 Sky Price
Since it is a rare treasure, in order to maximize profits, the auction house must of course promote it well. Therefore, after receiving this jade bracelet, it sent it to many well-known figures in the jewelry collection industry.
Got the invitation.
Therefore, in the past two days, many local tycoons have rushed to Hong Kong Island by plane. If they really can't get away, they will also decide to participate in the bidding online. As long as there is a slight possibility, they will not let this rare treasure fall into the hands of others.
in hand.
Yu Xinglan's family has been engaged in the jewelry and jade business for generations. It is said that his ancestors were royal jade craftsmen in the Qing Palace. After several generations of operations, the company under the name of the Yu family is now the largest jewelry and jade business in Jiangnan.
The group goes to Myanmar every year to purchase a large amount of wool, extracts jade and processes it into various jewelry ornaments, and then sells them in many chain jade jewelry stores.
The special invitation letter sent by the auction house immediately attracted the attention of the top management of the Yu family. After all, this kind of top-quality jadeite bracelet with imperial green glass is so rare. With the Yu family’s big business, there is not even one in the warehouse.
Here comes a baby of the same level.
Therefore, the elders of Yu Xinglan quickly reached an agreement to take pictures of this rare treasure and use it as a treasure of the Yu family. It would be good to keep it for a few years and then sell it at a higher price, or it would be a good heirloom.
In fact, if Qin Feng had not purchased a large amount of materials and had an urgent need for cash, the treasures he brought out this time would be enough for the auction house to organize a special auction, and the income would most likely be higher.
Of course, he doesn't care much, since he has plenty of good things in his hands anyway.
On the stage, the auctioneer has finished his introduction and announced the start of bidding:
"The starting price for this treasure is 50 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 1 million!"
"51 million."
Immediately, someone put up a sign and made a bid.
"No. 33, 51 million!" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
"53 million."
"No. 24, 53 million!"
"55 million."
…
"60 million."
…
"63 million."
…
There are many bidders interested in this jade bracelet. It can be said that nearly half of the VIPs present in the entire hall are here for this treasure. They have all prepared bank cards or large checks.
, vowing to capture this possibly orphaned treasure.
At the same time, the auction house's official website has also launched a live broadcast. Customers who are interested in participating can also participate in bidding online as long as they pay a sufficient deposit.
Yu Xinglan stood still for the time being, sitting quietly watching the performances of various wealthy people, reporting surprising prices one after another. Until the price approached the mark of 150 million Hong Kong dollars, she motioned to the assistant next to her to start raising signs:
"One hundred and sixty million!"
"No. 36, 160 million! Are there any other offers?"
"One hundred and seventy million!"
…
"One hundred and eighty million!"
…
Although the price has soared to a breathtaking figure, there are still many VIPs who are unwilling to give up, causing the price to skyrocket, quickly exceeding the 200 million mark, and there are still no signs of slowing down.
Not to mention the ordinary rich and powerful, there are many well-known big names in the jade industry, and big merchants who have been engaged in the jade wool business for many years may not have the opportunity to see a piece of glass imperial green jewelry, so they are all satisfied.
Strong competition.
Yu Xinglan snorted and signaled to the assistant not to stop, she would order this today.
After all, there are many competitors in the jewelry and jade industry, and their peers are enemies. If they fight over this thing and take the opportunity to promote their own company, it will be very detrimental to the Jade Jewelry Group.
As a result, the price soon exceeded 250 million, and then approached the 300 million mark.
At this time, some customers with poor financial strength began to quit with unwillingness, but for the truly wealthy, this was still far from touching their psychological bottom line.
"...320 million!" Yu Xinglan's assistant held up the sign again.
"No. 36, three hundred and twenty million!"
There was obvious excitement in the auctioneer's loud voice. He has been in this profession for many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a valuable jade auction. As long as this treasure does not fail to sell in the end, he can also get a lot of bonuses afterwards.
.
There were several rounds of brutal competition to raise the price. After the price exceeded 350 million, most of the participants fell silent, with less than seven people continuing to compete.
"Three hundred and seventy million!"
Yu Xinglan's expression did not change, and Yun Danfeng raised the sign in person.
Soon an old man who looked to be in his fifties and was wearing a retro gown held up a sign: "Three hundred and eighty million!"
Then another middle-aged lady dressed fashionably raised a sign: "Three hundred and ninety million!"
A few seconds later, the price exceeded the HK$400 million mark.
Three of the VIPs smiled helplessly and expressed their withdrawal, but Yu Xinglan and the remaining three were still insisting. No matter what, this treasure must belong to the Yu family. And so far, the price has not exceeded her psychological expectations.
.
The old man continued to hold up the sign: "Four hundred and ten million!"
A bearded middle-aged man held up a sign: "Four hundred and twenty million!"
The fierce competition continued, and finally Yu Xinglan quoted a sky-high price of 450 million, finally forcing the three gloomy competitors to give up and get this rare treasure.
Immediately, the daughter and legal heir of the Yu family was invited to the VIP room, and Vice President Yang walked in surrounded by a group of bodyguards who looked like they were facing an enemy.
He was holding a steel password box in his hand, connected to his wrist with handcuffs. If he wanted to snatch this thing away, he would not only have to deal with the many bodyguards around him, but also have to cut off the vice president's hand.
It's possible to succeed.
After all, it is an auction item worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and no one dares to treat it carelessly.
The inspection process was much simpler. Yu Xinglan brought two senior appraisers from his family, and it was easy to determine the quality of the jade bracelet. Speaking of which, it is not that easy to fake a treasure of this level, and it is impossible to hide it.
But the perspective of professionals.
"Mr. Yang, don't you think these bracelets should be a pair?"
Yu Xinglan couldn't put it down and put it on her wrist to look at it. The strong yet bright brilliance contrasted with the beautiful face that was both happy and angry, bringing unparalleled visual enjoyment to the people around her.
After enjoying it for a while, she suddenly asked: "Is it possible that another similar bracelet will appear after a while?"
Vice President Yang looked stunned. Even the two appraisers shook their heads slightly and said helplessly: "Miss, it is very rare for such a valuable treasure to come out. How can there be any more?"
The top quality glass imperial green jadeite is not a piece of cabbage. The number that has come out so far is extremely limited. The accumulation over hundreds of years is estimated to be only a few dozen pieces, and most of them are small pendants or rings.
As for the bracelets, there are definitely no more than ten, and even fewer can be matched in pairs.
"Okay, I'm overthinking it."
Yu Xinglan smiled apologetically and said, "Then, can you introduce me to the original owner of this treasure?"
Vice President Yang shook his head firmly: "The VIP customer has stated in advance that he will reject such requests. In fact, several buyers have tried it before you."
Yu Xinglan sighed: "Okay, if you have any fine jade jewelry to be auctioned in the future, please let me know in time."
"That's no problem." Vice President Yang replied with a smile.
Due to business needs, Yushi Group has good cooperative relations with many auction houses on Hong Kong Island. From time to time, some fine jewelry will be entrusted to the auction houses for public auction. Therefore, as long as the requirements are not excessive, Vice President Yang will certainly
Will not refuse.
…
When the graduation party was coming to an end, Qin Feng received a message from the auction house on his mobile phone.
The transaction price of HK$450 million really surprised him, but of course it was not a figure he could get. According to the consignment contract, the auction house needed to charge commissions and deduct taxes, so in the end he only got
It is close to 400 million. If converted into Chinese currency, it would be more than 300 million.
As for the other pieces of jade, they also fetched good prices. In total, Qin Feng received more than 400 million Chinese coins from this auction. For safety reasons, he asked the auction house to put the money into
Swiss bank account number.
