　　People are what Poly Auction cherishes most. Since the opening of the company, we have received the guidance and support of over one hundred specialists and scholars, all of whom are the influential figures of the industry. And their contribution of ideas helps the company solve the problem of lacking of experience at the very beginning. Meanwhile, Poly Auction is also proud of establishing its own dedicated team of specialists, professionals and administrators in a short period of time.

　　Sufficient talent base offers the company accurate judgment of the industry, while the vibrant corporate culture makes sure its quick response accordingly. Chinese modern painting and calligraphy was the main session in Poly 2005 auctions. Many records were broken that enabled Poly Auction to be listed as top auction houses that year. In face of the trend that the market was changing in 2006, Poly Auction actively adapted the policy in its 2006 Spring Auction, selecting contemporary Chinese art as its trump card, which helped the company triumphed over its rivals in this field ever since. In the 2007 spring auction, Poly Auction conducted the first evening sale in China, and 65 items were hammered at 0.24 billion as a total, which broke all the previous records of a single sale by any Chinese auction house and marked an staggering performance which can compete with its foreign competitors. With its unparalleled advantage in the field of the contemporary Chinese art, the company looked elsewhere for further opportunities. In 2007, Poly Auction was crucially involved in other areas like: rare books and manuscripts, Chinese ceramics and works of art, and so on, which received high remarks from the buyers both at home and abroad as well. In 2008, Poly put efforts in antiques and ceramics and has successfully won 100% transaction rate .From 2009, Poly has collaborated with internationally famous collectors and created lots of records.

　　Before every major sale, Poly auction holds a series of previews which not only cover the major cities in China but also showcase in America, UK, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
