CHAPTER XIII
Hong Kong, International Exhibition Centre.
Today is the biggest Sotheby's spring auction of the year. The most sensational this year is undoubtedly Zhang Daqian's "Peach Source Map".
Jiang Yongsi wore a blue dress and long skirt and stood in front of "Peach Source Map" to admire quietly. You are looking at the scenery from the bridge, and others are also looking at the scenery from the bridge. Zhang Yun stood behind Jiang Yongsi, stopped and watched for a long time, and then slowly approached, and said with a gentle smile: ""Peach Source Picture" is Zhang Daqian's masterpiece of splashed ink in his later years, and it is also a masterpiece of scattered perspective of Chinese painting. β
Jiang Yongsi turned his head, looked up and down at this well-dressed boy, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Zhang knows how to draw. β
"A little bit of it, a little bit of it. By the way, how does Miss know that my surname is Zhang?"
After graduating from Stanford in the United States, Zhang Yun entered Harvard Business School to study for a degree in business administration, and after graduating in 2013, he entered the family business Wynn and became the general manager of Wynn Group in 2015. Zhang Gongzi's name is outside, who doesn't know?"
Zhang Yun was praised by Jiang Yongsi, and the smile on his face couldn't hold back: "Well, well, Miss seems to know everything about me, but I don't know anything about you." I don't know any of the ladies here, whose daughter are you?"
"I'm a nobody, you don't know. β
Zhang Yun smiled, approached Jiang Yongsi, and said, "It's not easy for a woman to enter the preview center, not to mention that you still know me so well." I'm suddenly interested in you. Jiang Yongsi smiled faintly at Zhang Yun, this vague ambiguity was even more hooked Zhang Yun couldn't stop, Zhang Yun involuntarily approached Jiang Yongsi's body, Jiang Yongsi was a little nervous, his body was slightly stiff, and he didn't know how to be wrong, but he heard an angry female voice behind him: "Victor!"
A stunner walked towards Zhang Yun with a sway, and when he saw Jiang Yongsi, his face couldn't help but be covered with a layer of vinegar. The woman glanced at Jiang Yongsi, grabbed Zhang Yun's arm, got tired of him, and said coquettishly: "I thought you had gone, but it turned out that I was fascinated by wild flowers again." β
"Angela!" Zhang Yun frowned and scolded, turned around and hurriedly introduced to Jiang Yongsi with a smile, "This is my fiancΓ©e He Luo, Angela." Jiang Yongsi heard Angela's disrespectful words, and she was not angry, but her face was faint and polite, and she said politely, and said: "Since Mr. Zhang has beauty by his side, then I will leave first." Without waiting for Zhang Yun to say anything, Jiang Yongsi turned around and left, leaving Zhang Yun beating his chest in the back, regretting not asking Jiang Yongsi's name, looking at Jiang Yongsi's back, reluctant to give up, Angela stomped her feet angrily.
In order to get rid of Angela, Zhang Yun lied about the three urgency, but Angela stuck like kraft candy and didn't let go, and followed to the door of the bathroom in a daze. But he met Jiang Yongsi unexpectedly again, Zhang Yun's eyes lit up, and he walked straight forward past Angela.
"Zhang Gongzi, you can meet here, it's such a coincidence, it's just a little tasteful" Jiang Yongsi hid his face and smiled, Zhang Yun's bones were crispy.
"It's flavorful, but it's even more flavorful. β
"Zhang Gongzi, I like Zhang Daqian's "Peach Source Map" very much, don't rob me later, if you rob me of my favor, then I will chase you to the ends of the earth, maybe I will turn into a ghost to find you tonight!" Jiang Yongsi said a few words Zhang Yun's heart was itching, and he couldn't help but lean towards Jiang Yongsi and said, "Speaking of which, I don't know your name yet." β
"Guess!" Jiang Yongsi smiled at Zhang Yun, and half of the laughing Zhang Yun's soul flew away. Angela stood aside, watching the two flirting and scolding, eyebrows and flirts, getting closer and closer, angry seven orifices of smoke, kicking up, and a handful of them were inserted between Zhang Yun and Jiang Yongsi, looking at the two of them angrily, thinking that you two are dead people! Angela glared at Jiang Yongsi fiercely, pulled Zhang Yun and walked out! Zhang Yun couldn't help but follow, but he didn't forget to turn around and wave to Jiang Yongsi, and shouted affectionately: "Tell me your name." Jiang Yongsi smiled, gave Zhang Yun a flying kiss, and motioned to meet later.
Qiao Younan leaned against the wall, watching all this from a distance, the corners of his mouth were smiling, but he was a little impressed by Jiang Yongsi's foxy kung fu, women really have 100 faces.
Zhang Yun and Angela sat down in the front row of the Sotheby's night shooting scene early, and although Zhang Yun was talking to Angela, he was absent-minded and looked at the entrance from time to time. After a while, seeing Jiang Yongsi walking in, Zhang Yun couldn't help but wave his hand to Jiang Yongsi. Angela saw Zhang Yun's look, and angrily knocked Zhang Yun's hand off. Zhang Yun sneered, and hurriedly laughed and coaxed Angela. Jiang Yongsi carried the hem of the long skirt, shook it three times, and deliberately sat down closer to Zhang Yun, although it was separated, it could be seen at a glance.
The auction started soon, and everyone in the venue frequently raised their cards, but Zhang Yun was always smiling, not seeing any movement, but from time to time he turned back to talk to Jiang Yongsi, although Jiang Yongsi also responded lightly, but as the lots were auctioned out one by one, she became more and more nervous, and couldn't help but look in the direction where Qiao Younan was sitting, but Qiao Younan didn't look back from beginning to end, just left the back of his head stubbornly to Jiang Yongsi.
"Now is the last auction work today, Zhang Daqian's "Peach Source Map", with a starting price of 80 million, and 10 million each time. The notice in the venue made Jiang Yongsi excited, and it also made the entire auction hall boil.
"On the 17th, the bid was 90 million. "Someone in the venue soon raised a sign, and before it was put down here, it was raised there, and the price exceeded 100 million at once.
"On the 20th, the bid was 160 million. The auctioneer looked at the boiling in the venue, and his voice was also higher than a voice, and at this time, Zhang Yun leisurely raised the No. 30 card. The auctioneer immediately followed up: "No. 30, 170 million." β
Jiang Yongsi saw Zhang Yun holding up the card, and hurriedly held up the No. 62 card to follow up, and the auctioneer pointed to Jiang Yongsi and said: "No. 62, 180 million." β
Zhang Yun glanced back at Jiang Yongsi, as if a little surprised, Jiang Yongsi smiled at Zhang Yunyan, Angela saw it in her eyes, and her eyes were so angry that her eyes were on fire. Zhang Yun smiled and raised the card again.
"No. 30, 190 million. β
Jiang Yongsi did not back down, and the auctioneer saw Jiang Yongsi's brand and hurriedly quoted: "No. 62, bid 200 million!"
There was a small sensation in the venue, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and ears. Zhang Yun was interested and raised the card again.
"No. 30, 210 million!" Zhang Yun turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yongsi defiantly, Jiang Yongsi smiled, bit her lip, glanced at the back of Qiao Younan's head, and still raised the card. The auctioneer also began to get excited, shouting: "Miss No. 62, 220 million!"
There was an uproar in the venue, everyone's eyes were staring at Jiang Yongsi, Zhang Yun spread his hands, and made a "please" gesture at Jiang Yongsi, shook his head, and said that he would admit defeat. Jiang Yongsi was caught off guard, his smile froze on his face, his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Angela saw that the two of them had been frowning, and she was already angry, and when she saw Zhang Yun admitting defeat, she couldn't help but snatch Zhang Yun's No. 30 brand and lift it up.
"250 million!" Angela screamed, shattering the earth! Zhang Yun was stunned and wanted to grab the number plate, but Angela didn't let go. Jiang Yongsi saw Angela's plan, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of Qiao Younan, only to see Qiao Younan finally turn around, look at Jiang Yongsi with a smile, and seem to nod slightly at her.
"250 million, the first time, 250 million for the second time, 250 million for the third time, the transaction! Congratulations on the 30th!" Zhang Yun was arguing with Angela, the auctioneer had already dropped the hammer, and couldn't help but look confused, Angela glanced at Jiang Yongsi with a proud face. There was thunderous applause in the venue, Qiao Younan stretched out his hand to Zhang Yun with a smile, and praised: "Zhang Gongzi, you are really courageous!" Zhang Yun rushed the ducks to the shelves, and could only accept Qiao Younan and everyone's congratulations with a wry smile.
Jiang Yongsi and Qiao Younan followed Zhang Yun one after another, and the two looked at each other and passed by, as if they had never known each other. Jiang Yongsi watched Angela trot all the way with her skirt up, complaining as she ran: "Zhang Yun, you wait for me!" Angela wanted to pull Zhang Yun's arm, but was thrown aside by Zhang Yun, Angela stumbled and almost fell to the ground!
"You're hurting me!" Angela stomped her feet behind Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun had already walked away, and when she heard Angela's voice, she suddenly turned around angrily and turned back to Angela, and her eyes almost wanted to eat her alive.
"Zhang Yun, you, what are you doing?"
Zhang Yun grabbed Angela's arm, and said viciously: "Who asked you to hold up the card, who asked you to raise it!250 million, do you give it?" Angela's little face was red when she was caught by Zhang Yun, and she was also frightened by Zhang Yun, and said while struggling: "Oh, you hurt me! Isn't it just 250 million? Let my dad give it!"
"Your dad! Your family has long been bankrupt, what kind of eldest lady are you still playing with me! If my dad hadn't looked at his previous relationship, you would have thought I would marry you as a broom star!" Zhang Yun pushed Angela away, and Angela almost sat on the ground. At this time, a bunch of reporters rushed in. Angela hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yun's arm and regained her smile, and the two looked like they loved each other again.
Reporter 1: Mr. Zhang, I heard that you just spent 250 million yuan to photograph Zhang Daqian's "Peach Spring", is it true?
Reporter 2: Mr. Zhang, I heard that the auction was an accident just now, and Wynn is in financial difficulties now, will you not sell it in the end?
Reporter 3: I just heard that Mr. Zhang went to the auction house to return the lot, is there such a thing?
Reporter 4: Is there something wrong with Wynn's finances, or is there something wrong with the Zhang family's private wealth?
γγγγγγ
Zhang Yun was uneasy by the reporter's question, so he could only force himself to calm down: "When have you ever heard of my return of Zhang Yun? β
Reporter 1: That's right, the eldest son of the Zhang family has always spent a lot of money.
Reporter 2: Mr. Zhang's appreciation of art is so high, he has always been a high-class taste.
Reporter 3: What do you think of Mr. Zhang's "Peach Spring" that won Zhang Daqian?
The reporters hurriedly held a bunch of sycophants, Zhang Yun and Angela smiled, as if the dispute and farce between the two just now was just a void.
Jiang Yongsi passed by the crowd and walked out calmly, a Mercedes-Benz car was parked outside the door, and when the door was opened, Qiao Younan smiled at Jiang Yongsi, Jiang Yongsi's face turned red for no reason, and he kissed him: "Mr. Qiao!"
