Chapter 2094: You are the one being cheated
I heard someone finally shouting the price, and they directly increased the price by one thousand.
The auctioneer shouted excitedly: "Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
Liu Ye observed Tang Sancai carefully, but he couldn't see it at all from a distance.
Even if you touch the imitation goods with your hands, you cannot feel the authenticity, let alone use your eyes to identify them.
It was exactly the same as the real thing, but he couldn't eat the authenticity of this thing.
But he knew Lin Ran's identity very well. Lin Ran started his career by making Tang Sancai. He believed that if it was genuine, it must be genuine.
As a result, Lin Ran quoted three thousand, and Liu Ye suddenly became excited.
He still knows the market price of Tang Sancai. If a Tang Sancai of such good quality is placed in a regular auction house, he can try to get a price of [-] yuan.
There is no other reason, just because Tang Sancai is the hard currency in the market!
The doubts in his heart disappeared, and now he only had one thought.
Take Tang Sancai!
Ma Zhen looked at Lin Ran and felt a little strange, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Liu Ye who was about to move behind him, and he immediately laughed.
He didn't know what grudges there were between the two young men, but it was obvious that Lin Ran was digging the hole just waiting for him to jump down.
The young man behind him had no idea that he actually jumped in after him.
Liu Ye immediately raised his sign and shouted: "Three thousand and five."
"Three thousand and eight." After two people called out the price, other people who were waiting and watching also joined the battlefield.
"four thousand."
"Four thousand five."
The antique industry is different from other industries because there is no market reference price.
Everyone can only value antiques based on their own experience.
In most people's understanding, Tang Sancai is indeed valuable, but it is absolutely impossible to exceed the value of [-].
"Five thousand!" As Lin Ran saw the price, the others gradually became quiet.
It exceeded their estimated price and basically stopped bidding.
Only Liu Ye shouted "five thousand five" as if he was competing with Lin Ran.
Lin Ran couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, Liu Ye behind him couldn't see his expression clearly.
Mr. Liu, who could not afford hundreds of dollars in the past, is now really wealthy when it comes to auctions.
But Lin Ran knew that this was not his limit yet.
"Six thousand." Lin Ran pushed the price up again.
The whole place fell into complete silence.
Many people began to whisper. They felt that Lin Ran was like a dragster invited to the auction and deliberately raised the price.
The people present were all shrewd businessmen, how could they possibly follow his instructions.
Except Liu Ye.
In fact, on the contrary, those who know Lin Ran will know that Lin Ran will never trust the auction house for some reward. On the contrary, his appreciation of Tang Sancai is very high.
Liu Ye believes that the price is definitely not excessive. As long as it is less than 1 yuan, he can afford it.
Ma Zhen, on the other hand, crossed his legs and didn't give any advice.
The rest of the people put down their number plates and sat on the mountain to watch the fight.
The auctioneer's eyes lit up when he heard the price.
The price far exceeded their expectations.
They thought that although the Tang Sancai in their hands was of good quality, it would be enough to sell it for three thousand.
After all, their underground auctions are famous. Some people have become rich overnight through their auction house, but most of them lose everything.
Spending such a high price to buy an unidentified antique at an underground auction.
As for what the auctioneer just said about having a master help with the appraisal, he actually made it up on the fly.
Their main focus is to sell genuine products and sell fake products.
If they could really identify the authenticity of Tang Sancai, why would they put it up for auction and sell it at such a low price? If they could directly trade it in a regular place, they wouldn't be able to make a fortune.
Even if you can't enter an antique store, you can set up a street stall in Panjiayuan. If the Tang Sancai in your hand is genuine, it's not easy to sell it for four to five thousand.
The reason why they keep the price so low is because they have seen it done by professionals.
This Tang Sancai is a fake.
Most of the businessmen guessed it correctly, except that this was not a fake from Shengshi Antiques, but the boss received it from another counterfeiting gang.
Anyway, after buying it according to the cut, even if it is identified as a fake, they cannot return it.
Underground auction houses only need to take out one or two genuine items and share a little of their broth with others.
I originally thought that Tang Sancai was going to be sold out, but the young man sitting in the second row raised the price to [-], triggering a wave of auction craze.
When the auctioneer saw Liu Ye shouting six thousand, he added angrily: "As we all know, Tang Sancai is the hard currency in the antique market. You know about Shengshi Antiques, but do you know the origin of Shengshi Antiques?"
Because the auction price exceeded his expectations, the auctioneer decided to add fuel to the fire and told surrounding tidbits.
"Because the father-in-law of the owner of Shengshi Antiques is Zheng Xueming from Tianlexing. He originally spent 8000 yuan to buy a three-color soldier figurine from a street stall in Panjiayuan."
"It turned out that the three-color figurines were fake. It turned out that the boss of Shengshi Antiques had a discerning eye and persuaded the master to change his ways, and that's how the Shengshi Craftsmanship brand came into being."
Ma Zhen laughed as he listened and asked in a low voice: "Is this happening?"
Lin Ran was also smiling.
There are really all kinds of strange people among the people. Although the stories are embellished and flamboyant, they can only be described as half-truths and half-falsehoods.
In the minds of most people, Yang Jianlong is the real boss of Shengshi Antiques.
After all, Lin Ran rarely showed up in the store, and most of the business and cooperation were negotiated by Yang Jianlong.
The auctioneer brought this up because he wanted to tell the people present.
First, he also knows the craftsmanship of Shengshi and will never let the crafts flow into the auction.
The second is to tell others that Tang Sancai is very valuable. Even if it cannot be sold in the end, it can be repaid by selling it to the owner of Shengshi Craftsmanship.
Moreover, there is no way that authentic Tang Sancai can ever return its original value.
After the auctioneer finished telling the story, he looked at the crowd again and said with a smile: "The story is over. Now everyone should know the value of Tang Sancai. Is there anyone who has offered a higher price?"
In fact, Liu Ye was most worried at this time.
He was worried that Lin Ran would no longer raise prices. In his heart, Lin Ran should be a profit-seeking businessman.
He would definitely make money no matter how small it was. If he stopped bidding, he would be in danger.
The other people didn't quite believe what the auctioneer said, and still watched calmly.
Lin Ran admired the auctioneer's eloquence from the bottom of his heart. What he said really moved many people's hearts, but he just needed a little help to get these people excited.
So he raised the sign in his hand again.
"7500."
He raised the price even further.
