Chapter 872 Unique Requirements
Finally, it was Zhang Kun's turn to auction items. The auctioneer on the stage first introduced the information about the silver coins of the Double Dragon Playing with the Pearls, and then a camera took a very close-up image of the Double Dragon Playing with the Pearls and sent it to the screen to enlarge for guests to appreciate.
I saw the nearly flawless silver dollars displayed on the screen, with silver light transparent on the surface, and the relief carvings of the two dragons playing with beads are lifelike and vivid. In addition, the auctioneer on the stage, the silver dollars from the 23rd year of Guangxu, although not long ago, have been rarely seen in the world.
Especially for this pair of dragons playing with beads, a special coin collector introduced to the people next to him that the last time the silver coins playing with beads appeared were five years ago.
The two dragons playing bead was accidentally dug out by a German man in a tool box. Because of improper storage, there are many losses in appearance, so the value is greatly lost. But even so, the price was sold at 250,000 yuan.
Now this one is well preserved and almost flawless. Its appearance can be said to have reached the top level of coin collections and is of great collection value. Therefore, everyone highly recognizes the four million yuan price given at the auction.
However, the only thing that was somewhat unexpected was that this Guangxu silver coin Double Dragon Playing Pearl with such a good quality did not appear on the brochure of the previous auction. The only possibility that this situation would occur is that this Double Dragon Playing Pearl was added later. Such things often appear at auctions, which is a surprise, especially for some of the collectors who like coins present.
Because at this time, there were very few coin collections, only two, and they were both average. The amount of existing in the world was not too large, but it was definitely not small. It was average in the collection value. If the price was appropriate, it would be taken. If it was expensive, it would not matter if it was given. Therefore, there were very few coin collectors coming to this auction.
But because there are few special coin collectors, the competitive pressure on the people present is much smaller, and it may be possible to win it at a lower price. Therefore, for them, it is not an exaggeration to say that this sudden double dragon playing with the pearl is a surprise.
Unlike the previous auction items, the auctioneer obviously introduced this Double Dragon Playing Bead for a lot of time. It seemed that Mao Zhenhai had specially ordered it. The introduction was completed in the past two minutes, and the auction began to prepare for bidding. However, at this moment, Zhang Kun suddenly stretched out his hand.
The auctioneer on the stage paused, looked at Zhang Kun, and then asked, "Is there any problem with this gentleman?"
Zhang Kun stood up and said, "I have a few words to go on stage, but I don't know if it's OK."
Hearing Zhang Kun's words, the auctioneer was stunned. During the auction, a buyer asked, "This is normal." Ask about the items, information, and even wanted to go on stage to identify them closely. However, this is the first time I have met someone who wants to go on stage to say a few words.
The auctioneer was a little confused about how to make a decision, and glanced at Mao Zhenhai on the left deck. Then half a minute later, a figure trotted to the auctioneer and whispered a few words.
The auctioneer nodded, then looked at Zhang Kun, then smiled and said, "Everyone, this is the seller of this 23rd year of Guangxu silver coin and a two-dragon playing with the pearl. I want to say a few words to you and take two minutes to delay, so please forgive me."
Hearing the auctioneer's introduction, everyone present turned their eyes to Zhang Kun, and they all nodded to Zhang Kun with a little friendly attitude. I have to say that those who like to play with antiques have a good temper.
In other words, those who are either rich or noble are already past the age of impulse, and they have reached the level of restraint in their actions. In just two minutes, everyone can delay this time. Moreover, there is no need to be the first to be the first to be a good person for everyone's business. Not only will offend others, they will also seem stupid.
Zhang Kun smiled apologetically to everyone, then walked up to the auction table, stood in front of the seat given up by the auctioneer, Zhang Kun leaned over to the microphone and chuckled and said, "As the auctioneer introduced just now, I am the current owner of this Double Dragon Playing Silver Coin for the last two minutes. I'm really sorry to bother everyone for two minutes."
Zhang Kun's words caused a chuckle to the audience.
"By chance, I was lucky enough to participate in this auction. I was so happy to see all the seniors and fellow friends in the collection industry. I went on stage this time to make a small special request for the auction of this Double Dragon Playing Silver Coin."
"These are all seniors in the collection industry, masters of antiques, and masters of appraisal. I want to ask you about three people. Twenty years ago, the three brothers of Qi's family who had made a living in Panjiayuan, and those who were good at making old and discs."
"If someone can provide the addresses or clues of those three, I am willing to give this silver coin of the Double Dragon Playing Pearl as a thank you. Of course, if everyone doesn't know, this Double Dragon Playing Pearl will be auctioned normally."
After saying that, Zhang Kun took a deep breath, then glanced at everyone in the audience seriously: "This matter is very important to me. If there are any seniors or masters who know, please help me. Zhang Kun is very grateful." As he said that, Zhang Kun bowed deeply.
After listening to Zhang Kun's words, there was a sudden discussion in the audience.
Of course they could see that this matter was probably quite important to Zhang Kun. An antique with a low price of 4 million yuan and a final transaction price may even reach more than 5 million yuan is used to reward a message or an address. From this point of view alone, it is enough to determine the importance of Zhang Kun's clues to the three brothers of the Qi family.
Four or five million may not be nothing to those present, but if you use four or five million to buy three people, the price will probably be a bit high.
However, compared to Zhang Kun, they were more interested in who the three brothers of the Qi family were. It was worth someone to take out the silver coins worth four to five million and exchange for their addresses or clues.
Although the people present are veterans in the antique industry and have been collecting antiques for a while, not everyone has heard of the names of the three brothers of the Qi family. Moreover, in Panjiayuan, the three brothers of the Qi family were not very famous.
In Pan's family, there are no ten thousand or eight thousand people living in the antique industry. Apart from those who have made up their names, how many people can really remember them, let alone twenty years ago.
Compared to the comments of the buyers in the audience, the auctioneer standing behind Zhang Kun was also confused and looked at him at a loss.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties trotted to the stage, approached Zhang Kun and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, our General Manager Mao Zhenhai, please come to the office. I have a few words to talk to you."
Zhang Kun nodded, and then followed the middle-aged man to an office next to the auction venue. After entering the door, Mao Zhenhai frowned and walked around the office. When he saw Zhang Kun coming in, he spoke in a deep voice.
