The silence in the auction hall is not because no one wants to bid, but many people are not sure where to call the first bid, and there are many ideas to call 30 million or 40 million, but they also doubt that this method of operation can deter others.

Basically, it's impossible.

If you look at these people who came, you will know that there are too many people who are not bad for money.

As a result, when the big fish were waiting, a young woman robbed the jackpot - she only added 100,000! This is the minimum price increase, yes, very economical.

"That's Jim Walton's granddaughter. Dimon glanced at Lin Haven, who was smiling quite happily: "Walton." ”

Lin heard the word completely, but he really didn't know what it meant.

The Walton family, the richest family in the United States, or the world, is the owner of Wal-Mart. However, compared to Hilton, as well as Kardashian, the three and fourth generations of the Walton family are much more low-key, so today a Miss Walton appeared at the auction, Dimon was more happy, and he also knew and found this girl very early.

"Walton?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Lin Haven looked at Damon, there was a strange sense of pride and smugness on Damon's face, and he nodded hesitantly: "It's a good name." ”

Lao Mei also likes to boast about her name?

"......" Damon was a little depressed, but he quickly adjusted it himself, as an artist, Lin Haven didn't know that anyone was reasonable, even the lid of the Bill family, there was no problem: "The Walton family owns a large stake in Wal-Mart, and this Miss Walton's father is one of the top ten people on the wealth list, with a fortune of $30 billion. ”

"Oh buy karma!"

"She seems to like your paintings, and this is the first time I've seen her appear at an art auction, at least in person. ”

"Then why is she so stingy?" Lin Haven frowned: "I thought she wasn't so rich, so she added 100,000 to enjoy it, but if she was so rich, why was she so stingy?

“…… I do not know. Originally hoping to see Lin Haiwen's expression, Damon, who looked a little like an ordinary person, could only stiffen his face at this moment.

"I don't know, it's okay, let me see, if she doesn't speak again, my next new painting will be "The Miserly Miss Walton" as the theme. ”

“……”

Completely speechless.

+100 for the wicked, from Damon, New York.

Lin Haven looked at him, he almost didn't laugh, this foreigner, the Walton family's money is not yours, you are sassy. The old folds on the skin are almost squeezing out the English letters - "How can you not be flattered"

I'm not flattered!

Hey.

Miss Walton's bid opened the prelude to competition, and no one expected "Black Dragon Pond" to be sold at a price of more than 10 million, so the second place, a white-haired old gentleman, directly shouted the price to 25 million US dollars.

Huang Zuowen directly raised the price to 30 million!

Three bids, the price doubled.

30 million is a mental threshold, and then, 100,000 and 500,000 have been called for several rounds, and they have been shouting 34.6 million US dollars.

"40 million!"

Ooh.

The house was shocked.

The Chinese present were particularly shocked, and this price has completely surpassed Chen Zhuoyang's record of more than 3,900 US dollars for a living Chinese artist. This means that from this moment on, at the age of 27, Lin Haven has become the most valuable artist in China, and there is no second person on his head.

Milestone!

……

Domestic, almost synchronously, when the price shouted 40 million US dollars, Weibo Collection has sent a flash message to confirm this.

"At least $40 million! Haven Lin broke the auction record of Chen Zhuoyang and became the auction record holder for Chinese and Chinese living artists! In the ongoing Sotheby's New York Classical Sale, Haven Lin's masterpiece "Outside the Studio Window and the Black Dragon Pool" appeared in the finale As soon as it appeared, it was full of competition, and the first three bids doubled from the starting price of $15 million to $30 million, and after several rounds of alternating increases, a collector directly shouted the sky-high price of $40 million, which also allowed Lin Haven to set a new record in one fell swoop.

The auction is still ongoing, and Weibo Collection will continue to pay attention to what price Lin Haiwen's work can be sold for. ”

Weibo Collection has been broadcasting this auction live.

Previously, Angell's more than $44 million was also quite stirring up.

Money, after all, is very stimulating to the secretion of adrenaline.

Not to mention that Lin Haiwen's news came out, it was even more shocking.

"It's really 40 million? It's not more than 300 million? I'll go for it!!"

"Cool Lin Haven, no one can beat it. ”

"Ahhh ”

"Tsk, for Lin Haven, money is really a number in the future. ”

"It's as if he didn't have any money before. ”

Weibo was full of excitement, Liu Tiansheng and Ma Flea Ou, of course, they also saw it, but what they thought in their hearts was whether Lin Haven gave these people delirious Gu and bid him like crazy one by one.

The heart is getting heavier and heavier, whether it is Gu or not, it can only prove that either Lin Haven's skills are very deep and his ability to play Gu is very great, or he is getting more and more awesome and majestic. No matter which possibility it is, it is unfavorable to Liu Tiansheng and them.

……

Huaguo Center for Modern Art.

There are two acquaintances of Lin Haiwen, one is Chen Zhuoyang, who has just been robbed of the record, and the other is Dong Wenchang, who became the deputy director of the research center after being transferred from CAFA, and Lin Haiwen hasn't seen him for a while.

But now the whole modern art research center is bustling.

Because Chen Zhuoyang himself is paying attention to the auction of "Black Dragon Pond", others don't have to scruple about it, the people on their side, in the foreign art world, including the collectors who rushed over in China, are very related, and basically social media is synchronous news.

It rose little by little, until it reached 40 million, and the entire research center exploded.

"The afterlife is terrifying. Chen Zhuoyang shook his head with a smile and sighed.

Dong Wenchang's face sank like water, Lin Haiwen seized the power of the school establishment through the international youth exhibition, and now through the auction price, it has completely become the index of the art market, the two sides are one, from now on, the domestic art world, and even the art market, he is the real uncrowned king.

Lin Haven was in New York, looking at Dong Wenchang across the Pacific Ocean and across the 12-hour time difference, and the warmth he sent - 300 points of wicked value, a little happy. After all, it's not Dong Wenchang who sends warmth alone, there are still many people who remember Lin Haiwen, he is in place after all, after all, he is successful, and it is not surprising that so many people miss him in their hearts.
