Moutai, which once fetched a sky-high price of tens of billions of dollars, passed the auction again and no one bid: the auction does not need to pay a deposit, it is spit and hyped

Do you still remember that Handi Maotai, which sold for nearly 10 billion yuan a few days ago, was put on the shelves again after the auction was suspended by the merchant, but the auction ended on the evening of the 20th.

The 1992 Handi Moutai was sent for auction by the Zhongzhi Jiupu Old Tavern. As of the end of the auction at 23:59:59 on the evening of the 20th, 6 people signed up, 1,838 people set reminders, and 122,347 onlookers watched, but because no one bid, Ended up with a leak.

A few days ago, this lot had undergone a “monkey-crossing” quotation, and was finally quoted at an astonishing price of 9.99999999 billion yuan, only “one step away” from 10 billion yuan.

It is understood that the starting price set at that time was also 39.99 million yuan, but the difference was that the deposit was 2,000 yuan. At the same time, the auction business stipulated that if you pay attention to the store, you can be exempted from paying the deposit.

Because you only need to pay attention to the store and do not pay the deposit, you can participate in the auction, and you can also refuse to pay after the auction is successful. This led to an “auction spree”.

According to media reports, at 7:05 on May 12, after a buyer made the first bid of 39.99 million, at around 3:30 pm on May 16, someone began to increase the price. At 21:13 on the evening of May 16, the price soared from 52.58 million to 525.7779 million, and the auction price has been rising since then. By 22:13:14 on May 16, the price had been shot to 9.99999999 billion yuan.

According to public information, Handi Moutai is a luxury wine variety produced by Moutai in Guizhou. It was introduced in 1992. On the packaging of its wine box, the gold beads contained in the dragon’s mouth are made of pure gold. Only 10 bottles were produced at that time, and except for one bottle, the remaining 9 bottles were auctioned in Hong Kong, China. In the late 1990s, Handi Moutai sold for a high price of 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

In April 2011, at the “First Vintage Moutai Special Auction” held by the Guizhou Provincial Auction Company, a bottle of “Hardcover Handi Moutai” was sold for 8.9 million yuan, which refreshed the auction price of Handi Moutai at that time. historical records. Later, at the Tianjin Food and Drinks Fair in 2019, the value of Handi Moutai was as high as 31 million yuan.

The auction starting price of 39.99 million yuan in the old pub of Zhongzhi Jiupu has once again refreshed the price record of Handi Moutai.

Over the years, Moutai has also been a frequent visitor to the auction table. For example, in June 2021, Sotheby’s in London, England announced that a box of 1974 “Sunflower Brand” Moutai was sold for 1 million pounds (about 9 million yuan). The bid was nearly 380,000 yuan.
