Help, has anyone seen Christie's Hong Kong auction video?
The sheep was completely fascinated by Ms. Chen Liangling, 37!!
To be honest, sheep didn't see much of the auction before, after all, a collection can easily cost millions, and in most cases, you can only be moved and can't take out your wallet with heartache.
However, Ms. Chen Liangling is really not ordinary!
Watching her auction, you will be poked by the "sense of intelligence" that her whole person exudes from the inside out, as if she is also a work of art (exaggerated ha
So who is Chen Liangling, and where is Niu X?
Chen Liangling, the strongest female auctioneer?
To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to use this sentence to describe Sister Chen, because even in this era of kol, it is difficult to find someone who can be liked by both buyers and sellers.
Who is Chen Liangling?
She is the Vice President of Christie's Hong Kong, worked as an auctioneer at Christie's Spring Auction in June 21, is a senior expert and auction supervisor in the Chinese porcelain and art department, and also holds the auction official license in China and New York State.
Fluent conversion between Chinese and English, fast and precise control rhythm, calm expression and tone... The treasurers Youmu You were infected by Sister Chen's charm!!
In the world of collecting, Chen Liangling has set many miraculous achievements -
She can shoot the starting five million Wen Zhengming handscroll to 7000w+; It can make the Ming and Qing Huanghuali chair have a value of 6500w Hong Kong dollars in a blink of an eye; It can also double the manuscript with a reserve price of 190,000 to tens of millions...
Perhaps many people will say that it is not difficult for rich people to spend money, but the sheep want to tell everyone that this idea is absolutely wrong.
Because in the auction world, there are three things that are most important: one is the collection, the second is the buyer, and the third is the auctioneer.
Needless to say, the buyer himself also comes for the collection, and the value of the collection itself can be raised by one or even several notches, it is up to the auctioneer himself.
What does the auctioneer rely on to eat
Emotional intelligence, eloquence, knowledge reserve, these three points are indispensable.
These three points of sheep will not be repeated, because every famous auctioneer actually has strong ability, and the reason why sheep wants to write about Chen Liangling is actually due to her uniqueness.
First of all, auctioning was once a male-dominated field, and before the 20th century, only male auctioneers were wielding hammers in the auction market.
With the first hammer drop of Ms. Vanham in 1959, female auctioneers officially entered the field.
Now nearly 70 years have passed, female auctioneers have become common in the industry, but Chen Liangling gives people the most special feeling.
From her appearance to her dressing style, she can be described in four words: like a spring breeze.
The most important thing in the auction market is aggression, because of the industry, decisiveness and sharpness are the most basic standards, but Chen Liangling's appearance is very gentle -
Her forehead is smooth but not so open, and although her eyes are not large, her eyebrows are very cordial when she laughs.
And the long atrium itself brings a mature sense of intelligence.
At the same time, her jawline is wide but smooth, and there is a sense of calm atmosphere
In addition, every time she appears on camera, she basically has coiled hair + cheongsam, her face is clear, and she has the gentle style of Chinese women
The auctioneer sells the collection, so the auctioneer himself must also appear "expensive".
In order to meet this requirement, auctioneers generally exercise strict control over their figures, and they must be well-dressed and neatly dressed when they appear on camera.
But Chen Liangling is different, she will wear light makeup and cheongsam in most cases, seemingly ordinary but actually simple and luxurious——
The cheongsam itself has a low-key charm, which is one of the representatives of Chinese clothing culture, and it matches the ancient style and ancient charm of the collection itself.
Also exquisite appearances, Chen Liangling compared to other auctioneers, she is less aggressive in appearance
The user positioning of the auction industry is actually quite accurate, some people buy for the sake of buying, and some people really appreciate and like it.
People who love ancient collections would have preferred Chen Liangling's atmospheric calm wind.
Her auction features are the opposite of her appearance.
She has a strong control over the rhythm of the auction, and although she seems gentle and gentle, she is actually strong and decisive.
Chen Liangling doesn't say a word of nonsense during the auction, she first expresses the value of the collection concisely, and then starts bidding with a smile.
She is calm, but she can press step by step.
When buyers compete for bids, she quickly jumps up
When there is a brief silence in the bid, she will promptly say another explosive point in the collection to stimulate the bid.
She smiled the whole time, language and gestures in sync
She is the perfect controller, because the atmosphere of the scene is closely related to the price change, and she has to create tension while having affinity.
When making a quotation, her brain also has to calculate the markup ratio of each stage synchronously, but the speed of speech, movement, eyes, etc. must keep up.
Some people may say that she is not elegant enough to lean forward while wearing a cheongsam, but in fact, this is "psychological warfare" -
When the body leans towards the bidder, it creates a sense of oppression for the other party, which is also a key factor in bringing the rhythm together.
The brain, mouth, eyes, and hands are indispensable, and what she wants to do is to see and listen to all directions.
Watching her auction, you will unknowingly keep up with her rhythm, and the starting price of 90,000 accidentally rises to 1 million...
And she can play with language arts while "pressuring" bidders
She never says who "photographed" a certain collection, but rather says whose hand the collection "returned", which will make the other person sound very comfortable.
Even if she encounters the dilemma of no one bidding at the auction, she can quickly resolve the embarrassment.
For example, once Wang Duo's paintings were not bidden, Chen Liangling looked around and said with a smile: Everyone spends money to call, we spend money to print albums.
Just one sentence made the bidders laugh in the audience, making the transition to the next collection auction extremely silky, and did not affect the enthusiasm of the bidders.
And this is the woman who has been fascinated by sheep lately: she can talk and do things.
The most important thing is that the auctioneer is only her part-time job, and the vice president is just a vice president who is tired and casually helps the company out (bushi
"If you love something, love it to the end."
Of course, Yang's appreciation of Chen Liangling is not only because of her calmness in the auction field, but more importantly, her attitude towards the world.
Christie's and Sotheby's are currently the two most famous auction houses in the world, and it is remarkable that Chen Liangling was able to get the title of "Christie's Hong Kong Vice President" in her 30s.
And because she is facing the upper class Vanity Fair, many people think that her participation in the collecting industry is actually because she wants to enter the ranks of capital.
The sheep can't know what Chen Liangling really thinks, but at least there is one thing in her that the sheep admires: if you love something, keep it going.
Regardless of what Chen Liangling thinks about the industry, her love for the collection is real.
She was born in Taiwan, China, and when she was a child, her mother often took her to the National Palace in Taipei and to various museums.
Mother Chen would tell her about the splendor of Tang poetry and Song poetry, about the changes of historical dynasties, and about the ups and downs of China over the past 5,000 years.
Because of her mother's educational influence, Chen Liangling had an ancient martial arts dream when she was a teenager.
But even though she likes history and humanities, Chen Liangling chose to go to Cornell University's biology department when she was in college.
At that time, she was actually a little confused, so she also minored in nutrition, anthropology and other courses, and did not rush to find a job after graduation.
She wanted to do what she loved, not just to survive.
The change happened in 2005.
Prior to this, Chen Liangling, a graduate of a prestigious school, had been volunteering at the Taipei National Museum, and 05 happened to be the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Taipei National Palace Museum, and there would be a very rare exhibition of authentic works.
Chen Liangling, who has never been eager to find a job, saw her true dream through one real work after another in that exhibition: she wanted to become a humanities and art worker.
So in 2009, she went to London again to study and successfully obtained a master's degree in art history, and joined Christie's after completing her studies.
She started as a porcelain expert, responsible for lot evaluation to management to contacting customers, learning, accumulating, polishing little by little, until she became vice president.
The auction can only be regarded as a part-time job, and when she first took the stage, her voice trembled and even made mistakes because of nervousness.
But this embarrassing experience seems to her to be just an episode at work, and she will not be affected by this kind of thing and consume confidence.
Because she likes ancient Chinese art and is responsible for creating value for the company, Chen Liangling will review and reflect on her performance after each auction.
Every time she receives a new batch of collections, she first spends 100% time researching the background and historical value of the collection.
Even the production process of the collection will be carefully studied, and at the same time, she will guess the process of production through some flaws in the details of the collection.
The popularity of the Internet was actually an unexpected surprise, because in that auction, which was only 35 minutes, Chen Liangling unknowingly let the collection be auctioned off at a price 12 times higher than estimated.
Her gentle appearance, intelligent brain, strong field control, and fluency in Chinese and English once made her the "spokesperson" of the topic of women's power on the Internet.
Of course, Chen Liangling's success has a lot to do with family education to some extent, but the ever-rising force in her is worth learning from all of us.
She does not compare herself with others, does not care about other people's lives, and does not doubt her own abilities.
To use the current buzzword: she never wears out.
When you do your love to the extreme, love will make your life.
It is true that our life may not be as smooth as Sister Chen's, but this does not mean that we cannot.
Chen Liangling can succeed not only because of her ability, but also because of the addition of this personal sense of belief: do not doubt herself, focus on yourself -
"No matter what kind of life you aspire to have, don't question yourself and move forward."
Please be the ferryman of your life, no matter the ebb and flow.
