As for Su Maolin's case, the public procuratorate is still investigating, not to mention sitting in prison, seven or eight years of detention is the least, Su Maolin is in the prime of life, if he is really locked up for such a long time, he will be almost forty years old when he comes out, and the most golden years have been spent in prison, and his life is basically ruined.

Su Xuezhen only has Su Maolin's son, although Su Maolin is not angry, and he also implicates him and destroys his career, he still fights hard, shows his old face, and begs for help in various ways, trying to reduce Su Maolin's sentence. is just like Zhang Pei's reaction after Liu Chengyu's drunk driving accident.

Wu Qu said that after he returned to his hometown, he once received a call from Su Xuezhen, "I don't know how he knew my number, he said on the phone that he was willing to give me 1 million and let me write a letter of understanding." I refused, seeing that my work was about to be auctioned, in case a single word was auctioned for hundreds of thousands, should I still be short of him this million?"

Zhou Buyan laughed, "Big brother, I obeyed you, why are you so confident! I think my words can be shot for 100,000, I'm thankful!"

Wu Qu disagreed, "You are arrogant, your "Western Regions" was hung up in the state banquet hall by Vice Minister Guo, and you are worried that your works will not sell at a high price?"

"Shhhh ”

If Zhou Buyan released this news in advance in order to increase his value, his works would definitely be robbed at auction, but he would also seriously offend Vice Minister Guo, his "Western Regions" would definitely be returned, and he would also be blacklisted by those who liked calligraphy. In the end, Zhou Buxuan not only couldn't make money, but also lost his future.

On the afternoon of the next day, the autumn art auction will be held in the conference center of the Capital Panorama Hotel, the auction is undertaken by an auction company in the capital, and the auction objects include mainly calligraphy, painting, sculpture, a total of more than 30 pieces, among which there are no antiques, nor any works of celebrities, all of which are new works by newcomers. As early as a month ago, the auction company posted an auction preview online, introducing the lots in the auction and providing online and offline registration channels for buyers.

In the morning, Liu Yan, Zhou Buyan and Wu Qu had already come to the hotel, and the staff of the calligraphy department of the auction company held a one-on-one "small meeting" for them, telling the three of them the basic auction rules, and informing them that the company's appraisers had set a reasonable starting price for them according to all aspects of research, which could not be changed, because the starting price had been written into the introduction of the auction items, printed in a book, and would be distributed to the buyers.

Liu Yan participated in the auction with a total of three works, namely two versions of "Yunyang Ding" and the woodcut "Innocence", and her preliminary evaluation work, "Heart Like a Mirror, Comfortable and Harmonious", was directly mailed back to Suyi by the exhibition party, because it was originally a gift from Liu Yan to Suyi. The owner is him, and he says he doesn't sell!

The starting price of the seal engraving version of "Yunyang Ding" is 90,000 yuan, the starting price of "Innocent" is 85,000 yuan, and the lowest is the starting price of the regular script version of "Yunyang Ding" is only 35,000 yuan.

The staff also honestly told Liu Yan that from a professional point of view, her regular script version of "Yunyang Ding" is relatively immature and can be called a work of art, but there is still a little distance from the real high-end calligraphy works, and the collection value is not large, so they set a more conservative price of 35,000 yuan for it, of course, if Liu Yan is a real calligrapher, her character can be called an early work, and there will still be collectors who collect it at a high price, which is immeasurable commercial value.

Liu Yan's seal script works are impeccable, "Innocence" is Liu Yan's award-winning work, which should have been the highest price, but because the wood of the wooden table is too poor, the table itself has cracks, and there are flaws such as insect eyes on the table legs, the appraisers gave a price lower than that of "Yunyang Ding".

After saying this, the staff member asked Liu Yan what her expected transaction price was.

Liu Yan is very satisfied with these three starting prices, her income from filming "The Wind" is only 50,000, and the remuneration of "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" was originally negotiated to be 120,000, and later after she became the heroine, according to the agreement she re-signed with Lin Zhi, she could finally get 400,000. It is said that Fu Feiqian's salary is as high as 4 million, and the 3.6 million saved by the crew can just make up for part of the loss of the reshoot shot.

Liu Yan said to the staff of the auction company, "As long as it is about 50,000 yuan higher than the auction price, it will be fine." ”

The employee laughed, "Your expected price is the most conservative one I have encountered in my career, and the starting price we have set is already the lowest and lowest price, which is definitely far lower than the final transaction price, so as to attract more bidders in the early stage." I also explained the rules just now, the bidding ladder for your first two works is 8,000 yuan, and the bidding ladder for the latter one is 2,000 yuan. By yesterday's deadline, there were 1,043 bidders registered online and offline, and five percent of them paid a deposit for your work, which means that at least 50 people will definitely participate in the auction. ”

The staff is also a part-time auctioneer, his speed of speech is very fast, when he talks about the rules, Liu Yan listens to the clouds, and now she is even more confused, she asks what is the bidding ladder.

The staff saw that Liu Yan didn't understand the auction industry at all, so she could only patiently explain again, "It is the amount of the increase in the bidding, and the latter must be higher than the minimum amount of the former." ”

Liu Yan nodded again and again, "I understand, I understand." ”

The staff felt that Liu Yan was very easy to get along with, and when the leader arranged the work for him to receive Liu Yan, he was also worried that the other party was an Internet celebrity and would have a shelf, but he didn't expect her to be the same as an ordinary little girl, a little simple and a little cute.

"Do I have to say the expected price?" asked Liu Yan.

"Yes, so that the auctioneer has the confidence to guide the bidder to slowly approach your expected price. ”

"Can you give me some advice?"

"It's hard for me to say, if you make the worst prediction, the total transaction price of the three works is usually 400,000 yuan," he just took into account Liu Yan's popularity and the number of registered buyers, and said a rough estimate, and said a total value, he didn't dare to mention this kind of interest-related suggestion casually, "But you can't raise the price too high, otherwise the final bid will not reach your expected price, and your work will be unsold." ”

"What are the consequences of an unsuccessful auction?"

"You can choose between returning the unsold work to you or going to a second auction, but it will be detrimental to your future development. ”
