"I said Lao Li, you are two years younger than me, can you not pretend to be stupid and sweet every day?" Huang Zuowen suppressed the impulse in his heart, gave Mr. Li two white eyes, and a meal of complaints: "You can think of it, could it be that Sotheby's can't think of it? They put Rubens and Rembrandt in front of Lin Haven, do you think they don't need to consider the situation you said?

Mr. Li's eyes widened, and then he blinked: "Oh." ”

“……”

Huang Zuowen almost choked to death.

At this time, "Outside the Window of the Studio and the Black Dragon Pond" finally appeared on the big screens on both sides. Sotheby's New York's field equipment is very good, the two screens are estimated to be 4K, and Huang Zuowen and the two are not particularly sitting in the front, but the appearance of "Black Dragon Pond" can still be watched.

"If you want to say that Lin Haven's paintings are beautiful. ”

"Hmm. Huang Zuowen didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

"I feel more beautiful than the foreigners in front of me, and of course, the foreigners' paintings are also quite feeling. ”

Hehe, I thank you for Angels.

"Tell me," Mr. Li, who is a professional and flirtatious, finally asked what he wanted to ask: "How much do you think this painting can be auctioned? Can it really be higher than 44 million? 50 million? Unlikely, 50 million US dollars, that is 33000 million yuan - Lin Haiwen, a 26-year-old, oh, according to New Year's Day, 27, a 27-year-old painter, painting a painting sells for more than 300 million, no matter how hot this art market is, can't it be so messy? Do they all point to Lin Haven not living to be 30 years old? ”

“……”

"I know it's a gimmick for a genius to die early, but isn't that immoral?"

"You are the most immoral!!"

"Hey, you old Huang, do you think you're related to Lin Haven because his bird is called Xiao Huang? Don't you forget, when the two of you fell out in the past, I silently supported you in my heart. ”

"Phew. ”

Mr. Li pouted, Huang Zuowen ignored him, it doesn't matter, there are still a lot of Chinese people present today, and there is a Chinese face next to him, but in the auction hall, communicate with Shaohui, everyone may be a competitor. So Mr. Li tentatively said hello to the people on the side, in English: "Yes, Chinese?"

The other party replied in Mandarin.

"Oh, I'm worried about it, if you're yellow-skinned and white-hearted, I don't know what to say, English rots me. ”

"Hehe, I am indeed Chinese, born in the United States. ”

"......" Mr. Li was slightly embarrassed: "Hehehe, no wonder I look at you and you are very developed." ”

"......" Huangpi Baixin was also a little speechless, what does it mean to be particularly developed: "Are you from Huaguo?

"No, no, I'm here to join in the fun. ”

If Mr. Li had the urge to make a move at the beginning, but as Huang Zuowen said, after such rounds of bombardment and baptism, he had completely given up this idea, not to mention Lin Haiwen's finale, he didn't plan to shout at all.

"Dude—hey, this overseas Chinese, I'm a layman, you look like a person in this way, can you tell me that Lin Haven's painting can really surpass the one by one just now? And your Chinese circle in the United States, what do you think of Lin Haven? Is he very popular in the United States?"

Huang Zuowen listened over there, and they all wanted to change positions.

However, this yellow-skinned white-hearted person can speak fluent standard Chinese, which can actually explain the problem, he is engaged in business activities between China and the United States, and he is basically a broker - for example, today, he is here on behalf of a wealthy man from China, but the price has already exceeded their bottom line, so he is relatively idle now, and he can deal with these two rich people from China, and if he can make some business, he will naturally not refuse Mr. Li's question.

"Judging from Sotheby's arrangement and the starting price, Mr. Lin Haiwen's "Black Dragon Pond" should surpass Ingres's, which is also relatively normal. Although the standard of Ingres's work is not low, it is not a particularly well-known and representative masterpiece, such as "Spring", which has been auctioned for more than 44 million, which is already a very high price.

So Mr. Lin's "Black Dragon Pond", although it has been published for a relatively short time, but from the perspective of his own artistic development process, the representative of this "Black Dragon Pond" is far more than "Mother Earth Goddess Gaia", the latter only opened the exploration of source classicism, and "Black Dragon Pond" is to lay the standard of source classicism, the first time to show the mature source classicism, and at the same time this genre is known as the carrier. The significance is particularly significant, judging from the current evaluation of source classicism, even if it cannot become a mainstream school in the future, it will at least be a branch of the high level, the market value is very guaranteed, and the investment risk is relatively small.

Therefore, the specific price of "Black Dragon Pond" depends on the intentions of these people today, doesn't Huaguo have a saying that it is difficult to buy a good one? Maybe there are people who are willing to spend a lot of money, and it is not surprising how high the price is. But at the very least, it can't be cheaper than Ingres's work, and you can see how competitive it is when you look at the presence of so many people.

As for Mr. Lin in the Chinese circle, as well as in the United States, well~~~ It should be said that in the entire Western society, Europe and the United States, in fact, including Fusang, Mr. Lin's popularity and artistic achievements are very high and recognized, this is not necessarily weaker than him in your country, after all, his oil painting fame is basically completed in Europe and the United States. Although he is undoubtedly a native of China and a Chinese painter, from a purely artistic point of view, he is actually the inheritor and pioneer of Western art. ”

Mr. Li is very satisfied.

In addition to being satisfied, the more dissatisfied he was with Huang Zuowen, who refused to tell him, so he leaned over again: "Lao Huang, the overseas Chinese next to me said that this painting will reach 100 million if you are not careful, how much money have you prepared? Do you want to borrow a little from you?"

“…… The auction is on, can you shut up for the time being?" Huang Zuowen didn't even look at him: "Also, what you just listened to, what the auctioneer said just now is more detailed and authoritative, and it is better to change your habit of not taking dry roads on waterways." ”

"Phew. ”

But the auctioneer has really begun.

The starting price of "Black Dragon Pond" is 15 million US dollars - the starting price alone exceeds Lin Haiwen's previous auction record in Europe, that is, 12.5 million euros.

Some of them are prepared for 12.5 million euros.

"15.1 million!"

After a moment of silence, a female voice sounded, and in the whole scene, I don't know how many people's eyes rolled in unison.

"Hahaha. ”

Lin Haven died laughing at the back.
