Chapter 318: Not a Good Painter
The auction has officially begun.
The host walked up to the stage, and after some warm talk, he untied the red cloth, revealing the items auctioned inside.
The first auction item was a landscape drawing, and when the name of the painter was revealed, there was a round of applause and bidding began.
It's hard to figure out whether these people are here for painting or for painters.
From Chen Wei's point of view alone, this painting is really not very good, and the level is very inferior.
However, listening to the cheers of those people in the audience, as well as the VIP seats on the second floor, there are already people holding the bidding card and planning to participate in the competition.
In the previous life, let alone getting this kind of place for auction, it is estimated that it is difficult to support a family.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Chen Wei does not have the ability to sign in the painting, this strength is enough to crush the painter.
It turned out that when he was bored practicing calligraphy, he would also draw some ink paintings to cultivate his sentiments, and he also won a grand prize.
Among them, the eagle picture that should be the most proud, if Chen Wei remembers correctly, a boss once shouted out a price of 650,000 yuan and wanted to buy it.
Chen Wei didn't agree, and gave the painting to his teacher.
"I don't understand. ”
"What?" Hearing Su Tianyue's voice, Chen Wei ended his memories and asked.
"This painting is obviously not very good, they actually shouted the price to more than three million......" Su Qianyue didn't know any painter Liu Wenshan, and he rarely set foot in this field, so he spoke very directly and didn't take it into account.
"Painting this kind of thing, the fried ingredients are very large, and the painter has a driving force behind it, and it is very simple to sell it at a sky-high price. Chen Wei explained.
Once a company came to the door and intended to package Chen Wei, but he decisively refused, relying on his strength to make a name for himself.
The hyped fame is false after all, and most of them can only be brilliant for a short time, and then quickly go silent.
Su Qianyue was too lazy to care about what others were doing, anyway, it was absolutely impossible for her to spend money to buy such a broken painting to go home, and she felt that it was an eyesore at home.
"If you really want to talk about it, the level of that painter is really far behind you Xiaowei. Su Qianyue looked at the flower picture on the cheongsam and said sincerely.
This is still sewn by Chen Wei with needle and thread, and the difficulty is not much higher than that of an ink pen.
Su Tianyue stared at Chen Wei, and suddenly wondered, what would happen if he replaced the needle and thread in his hand with an ink pen, and then replaced the cheongsam with drawing paper?
Knock knock!
Just as Su Tianyue was about to open her mouth to ask Chen Wei if he was good at ink painting, there was a knock on the door.
If it's a waiter, you should choose to come in directly after knocking on the door, which means that it is not someone from the auction city.
"Come in. Chen Wei responded.
After speaking, just as he guessed, the two of them directly pushed the door and walked in, looking at the dress, they were indeed not the staff of the auction city.
After a careful comparison, Chen Wei remembered that this was the person in the VIP seat next door.
One is old and one young, the old one is forty or fifty years old, and the younger one looks a little older than Chen Wei.
"Are you?" asked Chen Wei on his own initiative.
I don't have much impression of this person in my mind, and looking at the expression on Su Tianyue's face, it should be the same.
"My surname is Liu, and my name is Wenshan. Saying that, Liu Wenshan looked at Su Tianyue and continued: "It's the painter who just mentioned in the mouth of this young lady that the work is not very good. ”
It turned out that he heard Su Tianyue's words and ran to find fault.
Chen Wei suddenly realized.
"Oh, so what?" However, the real purpose of people coming here has to be asked by Director Cai.
"I heard this young lady say that you seem to be able to paint too, and you want to see it. When Liu Wenshan said this, he could sense a little hostility.
"I'm pretty good at it, but I shouldn't have the obligation to prove it to you, right?" asked Chen Wei.
"Painters have the dignity of painters, and to be honest, I was very unhappy when I heard this young lady say that I am not as good as you, so I came here to verify it. ”
"People are free, of course you have no obligation to prove it to me, but if you take out the work, if it is really better than me, how much is the value of this painting, and I will pay a hundred times the price to buy it?" Why did Liu Wenshan dare to offer a hundred times the price, the reason is very simple, two words, self-confidence.
Chen Wei's hands are thin and tender, where does he look like a painter?
Not to mention beating yourself, I'm afraid even those newcomers who have been in the industry for a few months can't compare.
"A hundredfold, are you serious?" Chen Wei opened his mouth to confirm.
"I've been in this industry for decades, and I still have hundreds of millions of assets, so don't worry. Liu Wenshan reminded: "But the premise is that you have to be better than me." ”
So, Chen Wei asked the waiter to find pen, ink and paper for him, and by the way, he informed Li Laigeng to be a notary, so as not to make a backshoe.
After hearing about the gambling contract between Chen Wei and Liu Wenshan, as a friend, Li Laigeng originally wanted to persuade Liu Wenshan to give up.
Win or lose is not pleased, but as a result, you can't find a chance to speak.
On the other hand, Chen Wei has already picked up the pen and started to wield ink, this posture really looks like that.
At first, Liu Wenshan only thought that Chen Wei was a good-looking move, but the more he saw the end, the more embarrassed his face became.
The landscape pictures painted by Chen Wei are vivid, as if what is placed in front of everyone's eyes is not a painting, but the real mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery.
And if you look closely, you will find that this painting is exactly the same as the work of Liu Wenshan on the auction floor, in terms of conception.
Chen Wei just repainted Liu Wenshan's painting with his own pen with a little bit of brush and ink.
But this gap, not to mention an insider, a layman can also see who draws better.
Liu Wenshan clenched his fists, and his face was extremely bitter.
"Four million once, four million twice, four million...... Three times!"
Bang!
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for acquiring this painting. "On stage, the host dropped the hammer to announce the price.
A hundred times four million......
400 million!
All of Liu Wenshan's assets, savings, and villas combined, I'm afraid they can't reach that much.
Now that he regrets not admitting it, how can he hang up on the face of his generation of masters?
What is a dilemma, Liu Wenshan can be regarded as having experienced it.
"I decided, this painting will not be sold to you, and the gambling contract will be invalidated, no opinion, right?" Chen Wei said.
This kid is not as bad as he imagined, and he even knows to give himself a step.
Liu Wenshan was convinced, shook his head lightly and said, "No opinion, no opinion." ”
After he left, Chen Wei asked Li Laigeng, "I want to auction this painting too, is it okay?"
"Absolutely. Li Laigeng nodded.
"Good. Chen Wei wrote down his name and handed it to Li Laigeng.
Li Laigeng took over and confirmed: "How much do you think the starting price of this painting is appropriate?"
"Four hundred million. ”
