Chapter 411 Serious flaws
However, auction companies and various media have made three rules. The most important point is that they are absolutely not allowed to take photos of buyers' faces. Some rich people are very taboo to the media. Auction companies have the obligation to protect buyers. Moreover, when they check the list, they find that a few of the buyers have very identities, even public figures.
Before Liu Lan's previous author's work was moved off the stage, media people had already flocked to the gap between seats and entered the venue to set up live broadcast equipment, which attracted buyers to look back at them. The hotel deliberately dimmed the brightness of the lights in the audience to avoid any media's illegal operations and capture the appearance of the buyers. This operation also made the buyers feel a little relieved and not so disgusted.
However, the media did not know how to photograph these people. If they offend a big boss and ruin their future, it would be more than worth it. Their focus is Liu Lan!!
Just like a stage performance, a normal cameraman will not be bored to shoot the audience everywhere and ignore the real protagonist.
In order to satisfy the media's enthusiasm, the auction company ranked Liu Lan in front of Zhou Bulu and Wu Qu, and they did not play the finale. First, they went to Liu Lan's most eye-catching work "Wu Xie" at the calligraphy exhibition. Because when she carved this table, the ancient capital TV station conducted a live broadcast throughout the whole process, and everyone saw it.
When the auctioneer mentioned Liu Lan's name, the media instantly focused his attention and pointed the camera at the stage. A subtle discussion came from the audience, but it quickly calmed down. The audience could only hear the auctioneer introducing Liu Lan with various praises.
Liu Lan also walked onto the stage and stood by the table. Like other authors, she began to introduce to everyone the reasons why she created "Wu Xie", the engraved characters and the meaning of the painting.
Netizens were already excited to open the live broadcast rooms of different media. They left messages on Weibo and regretted that they were not qualified to go to the auction site. In a blink of an eye, they saw a lot of official live broadcast rooms on the Internet. Now it is still time to go to work and school. Some students even secretly watch live broadcasts in the classroom. Office workers have no choice but to watch text versions, but they are better than nothing.
After Liu Lan finished introducing the article, she sat down in the first row.
The auctioneer said, "Since the creation carrier of "Wu Xie" is a frequently used wooden table, there are several obvious flaws on the table. Let's remind everyone here to be cautious in bidding."
The large screen began to display various defective parts of the table one by one in ppt mode. The photos were very high-definition and were clear at a glance.
At this time, the discussion in the buyer's seat was a little loud, and most people were indeed dissatisfied with the flaws. Especially some phone buyers who were watching live broadcasts or official websites were unable to come to the scene. These flaws were like a basin of cold water, which extinguished their enthusiasm.
At the time of live broadcast of the calligraphy competition, everyone was attracted by Liu Lan's elegant carving posture and her woodcarving scenes. They wanted to buy this table at all costs.
The TV station's camera did not give the table close-up, so how could they know that the flaws were so big! Just looking at the desktop, the work "Wu Xie" is very generous, but when you look at it on the side, you think it's just an ordinary and a bit worn table. When you look at it in a big shot, the wood is very cheap, especially those wormholes, which are placed in the magnificent home of the rich and rich man, which is really worth the price.
After the ppt display was finished, the auctioneer said as usual, "Now I bid on behalf of the seller Liu Lan, with the starting price of 850,000 yuan. If anyone responds to the starting price, please raise the license plate in your hand to respond to the price..."
At this moment, there was no Sheng Jing who was imagined by the auction company to bid wildly. The scene was surprisingly quiet, and the audience in the live broadcast room held their breath and was anxious for their idol.
The money of rich people does not fall out of thin air. They still have to consider whether it is worth it. Some people sighed in their hearts. It would be great if Liu Lan chose a table of precious wood to engrave letters. Not to mention 850,000, they would be willing to pay 850,000!
Finally, I don't know who it was, I raised my license plate.
The auctioneer immediately pointed his hand at him.
"On the 79th, 930,000 yuan per time, is there any higher bid?"
With the first person, someone raised the sign again.
"No. 154, 1.01 million yuan at a time..."
The table is not good, the content is good, and there are still a few people who are willing to bear these serious flaws. Nearly twenty buyers have successively bid, and the value of "Wu Xie" has risen to 2.45 million yuan. It is still nearly twice as far away from Liu Lan's psychological price of 450,000 yuan.
However, no one offered at this time, "No. 212, 2.45 million yuan, the second time, if you are still interested in "Wu Xie", please hurry up..."
The auctioneer knew Liu Lan's expected price, and he felt that Liu Lan's price was set a bit high. He tried his best to use a seductive tone to trick the buyer into bidding. They had two works that failed to sell today. They could not get the handling fee for the works that failed to sell, which was related to their commission and bonus issues.
Liu Lan was close to her and saw the auctioneer's eyes, she regretted not filling in the 450,000 yuan. She did not expect that the buyer cared so much about the flaws of the table and did not look at her own artistic creation. She ignored the most critical issue of practicality. Of course, if Wang Xizhi engraved a few words on such a broken table, the table would probably be worth hundreds of millions, and she was just a newcomer.
Yu Zhan, who was sitting on the far right in the third row, raised his number plate at this moment. He was No. 9. The auctioneer's eyes lit up.
"No. 9, 2.53 million yuan at a time."
As soon as the words were finished, the gentleman of No. 212 immediately raised the number plate.
"No. 212, 2.61 million yuan at a time."
Yu Zhan continued to bid unmoved...
No. 212 obviously had the idea of winning Liu Lan's works. Yu Zhan bid, and he also bid. During this period, other buyers saw that the two of them were competing so fiercely, and thought that Liu Lan's works must be very good, and followed the trend and bid. However, at 3.41 million yuan, only Yu Zhan and No. 212 were still competing.
The price of more than 300,000 is obviously higher than the psychological price of No. 212. He raised the number plate slowly and slowly, and his expression gradually became solemn and hesitant.
"No. 9, 3.49 million yuan, once;"
"No. 9, 3.49 million yuan, second time," the auctioneer looked directly at No. 212 and asked, "Buyer No. 212, are you sure you won't bid anymore?"
No. 212's face looked ugly and glared at Yu Zhan. He had been paying attention to Liu Lan since she attended the calligraphy exhibition. He had no interest in Liu Lan's paper works, but he really liked Liu Lan's "Wu Xie". It just so happened that his home was Japanese decoration style. He had a daughter, and he was as old as the girl Liu Lan portrayed on the table. If you put such a wooden table in the study, how tall would it be? Friends would come to visit him, he would be very proud.
