Chapter 287 Bidding for Mutton Fat Jade Bamboo Bracelet
After the staff brought the jade Ruyi immediately, the auctioneer began to introduce: "This jade Ruyi is a Qing Dynasty artifact. The length of the jade Ruyi is 43.5 cm, the width is 10.2 cm, and the thickness is 0.9 cm. It is carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade.
The color is uniform, the surface is plain, and the workmanship is exquisite. It is an ancient palace treasure and a rare collection."
"Let's take another look at the appearance of this jade Ruyi. It has a long-handled hook. Both the front and back of the crank are decorated with embossed auspicious cloud patterns. The head of the hook is also embossed with auspicious clouds. There is a word "Fu" in the middle, a word "Lu" in the middle, a word "Shou" at the end, and the head of the hook.
It's as flat as a bay leaf. The radiation feels smooth to the touch, like touching silk."
"It looks even more crystal clear and shiny. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was named Ruyi. It symbolized happiness, good fortune and longevity in life. It was an auspicious object for appreciation."
"Okay, I believe that everyone here is knowledgeable, and I won't show off in front of you. Now the starting price of this jade Ruyi is 500,000, and the price will be increased by no less than 10,000 each time. Now the auction has officially begun."
As the auctioneer finished speaking, the people present began to raise their placards and start fighting for it.
"Fifty-one million, the gentleman with plate No. 7 bids five hundred and ten thousand!"
"Fifty-two thousand, the lady on No. 16 bids fifty-two thousand."
"Five hundred and thirty thousand, the gentleman with plate No. 83 bids five hundred and thirty thousand, is there any increase in price?"
…
He Fan looked at this scene and was a little ready to move, but because he had never participated in such an auction, he was still a little embarrassed to raise his placard.
Moreover, he was not very interested in this jade Ruyi. After all, the villa in Jiujiantang had not been decorated yet, so there was no place to put this thing after buying it.
Luo Manhua, who was next to him, also saw that He Fan was interested in participating, and immediately smiled and said: "Why don't you raise your sign?"
He Fan shook his head truthfully: "I don't like this jade Ruyi very much."
"Since you don't hold up your sign, I won't be polite."
After Luo Manhua finished speaking, he directly raised the sign in his hand and made a one gesture.
The auctioneer on the auction stage naturally noticed Luo Manhua's actions with sharp eyes, and said excitedly: "The gentleman on plate No. 103 bids one million, one million, is there anyone who bids higher than this gentleman?"
Although Luo Manhua suddenly increased the price from 850,000 to 1 million, the price of the jade Ruyi was obviously more than this price, so it was quickly beaten by others' increase in price.
"One million and fifty thousand..."
"One million and one hundred thousand..."
"One million and one hundred and fifty thousand..."
…
"One million and six hundred thousand..."
The auction price kept rising, and soon reached 1.6 million, but there were not many people participating in the auction. Obviously, the price was close to the collection value of this jade Ruyi.
At this time, Luo Manhua saw the opportunity and directly raised his sign and shouted two million.
"Two million, two million. The gentleman with plate No. 103 bids two million. Is there anyone else who bids higher than this gentleman?"
"Two million times."
"Two million times."
"Two million times."
"Bang!"
As the auctioneer finally dropped the hammer: "Congratulations to Mr. No. 103 for buying our Ruyi Jade from the Qing Dynasty for two million."
Following Luo Manhua's purchase of Jade Ruyi, several calligraphy and painting antiques were subsequently brought out in the auction, but He Fan didn't like them very much and did not participate in the bidding.
However, Luo Manhua successfully auctioned two calligraphy and paintings at prices of 1.2 million and 650,000 respectively.
However, after the calligraphy and painting, an auction item caught He Fan's attention. It was a mutton-fat jade bracelet.
At this time, the auctioneer introduced: "Through the big screen on the stage, you can see this mutton-fat jade bamboo bracelet. It is white and warm in color, with a grease luster. The bracelet is in the shape of a bamboo, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. It is a rare and exquisite item.
.”
"The starting price of this auction item is one million yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than ten thousand yuan."
"one million."
"One million and one hundred thousand."
"1.2 million."
…
This auction item was obviously favored by the women present. As the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, the price climbed at a terrifying rate. All bids were made by women, or there were people who came with their women and their families.
He Fan was also very moved. He wanted to take a photo of this bracelet and give it to Zhang Xiaohan.
Action was better than excitement. This was the first time He Fan held up the sign tonight, and he also shouted out a high price, wanting to take a photo of the bracelet at once.
"Two million. This gentleman bids two million on the 51st. Is there anyone who bids higher?"
He Fan was originally full of confidence. After all, the venue had only called for 1.4 million, so he suddenly added an extra 600,000. He felt that it should be a sure shot.
But the fact is.
"Two million and a half million, the lady on the 65th offered two million and a half million."
"Two million one million, the gentleman on plate No. 5 bids two million one million."
"Two million one hundred and fifty thousand, the lady on plate No. 9 bids two million one hundred and fifty thousand."
…
After a while, He Fan's price of two million was drowned in the sound of many bidding, and there was no wave at all.
However, He Fan became even more happy, which showed that this bracelet was indeed very good. After all, so many people participated in the bidding, and all of them were women, so Zhang Xiaohan should also like this bracelet.
Just as He Fan was about to raise the sign and continue bidding, Luo Manhua stopped him.
"You wait a while before shouting. The price probably hasn't reached the top yet. Wait until there are few people shouting the price."
After hearing what Luo Manhua said, He Fan felt that there was some truth to it, and immediately watched patiently as many people rushed to bid with their placards.
Soon the price of this mutton-fat jade bracelet reached three million, and the price is still rising.
However, when it reaches three million, the number of people participating in the auction has obviously decreased a lot. Only a few people are left bidding, and it is no longer 55,000, but 12,000.
add.
"The lady on No. 6 bids 3.22 million!"
"The lady on plate number nine bids 3.23 million."
"Three million and two hundred and thirty thousand for the first time."
"Three million and two hundred and fifty thousand, the lady on plate No. 6 bids three million and two hundred and fifty thousand again."
…
Seeing that the competition had weakened, Luo Manhua smiled at He Fan and said, "Now if you add more than ten or two hundred thousand, others will probably be scared off."
He Fan naturally knew this, so he directly raised the sign in his hand and rounded up the bidding price.
"Three and a half million. The gentleman with plate No. 51 bids three and a half million. Is there anyone else who bids higher?"
