【021】The Feast Shows Its Edge (3)
The auctioned items continued to be sent one by one, and Chen Lao gave an evaluation of each thing, and took the examination to Yuncheng. The two talked a lot, so that Zhou Manrou and Lin Heipang couldn't interject at all.
"The next auction item is one of the things I talked about before. The auctioneer Seri immediately untied the red cloth and motioned for the two waiters to pick it up, one left and one right, "This is the picture scroll." The author of this scroll is unknown, but the painting is first-class, belonging to the cultural relics of the early Ming Dynasty of the Chinese Dynasty, and according to the many materials we have consulted, this scroll seems to hide a big secret. ”
The auctioneer's words were very affectionate: "Although we don't know what this secret is, according to the unanimous determination of various experts, this picture scroll belongs to a priceless thing, we have no reserve price, no bottom line for price increase, everything depends on your personal wishes." Ladies and gentlemen, every one of you has an adventurous spirit, and are you not captivated by this fascinating picture?"
"Bidding now!"
"10 million. "Soon someone pressed the button.
……
"Little Black Fat, look at this picture, what do you have to say?" Chen Lao frowned, looked at the TV screen, and enlarged the picture.
Lin Heipang was stunned, and after watching it carefully: "Old Chen, can I shoot this picture?"
"Is it genuine?" said Old Chen's tone, as if he was asking himself.
Lin Hei nodded heavily: "It's definitely genuine, this pen power can only be controlled by Wang Ningzhi, the son of Wang Xi in history." ”
"Wang Ningzhi?" Yun Cheng frowned, "In history, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is considered a national treasure, but why does his son like to paint?
Old Chen also frowned and looked at Lin Heipang.
The muscles on Lin Hei's fat face trembled, and his whole body became excited, although he was wearing clothes, he could also feel the greasy smell of his fat at this time.
"Brother Yun, you may not know, Wang Xiyi has a total of three sons, among which only Wang Huizhi and Wang Xianzhi are more outstanding, because they inherited Wang Xizhi's penmanship. But there are very few people, and his youngest son Wang Ningzhi is indeed a genius among geniuses. Lin Heipang seemed to be searching for Wang Ningzhi's information in his mind, and paused slightly, "Our descendants only know that Wang Ningzhi has done the internal history of Huiji, but that time was also the time when the Heavenly Master Dao was prosperous.
And this Wang Ningzhi especially believed in the way of the Heavenly Master, so he abandoned his son from painting and began to paint. However, it seems that he died at the hands of Sun En, the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao, in history, but according to what I have collected over the years, Sun En has actually let Wang Ningzhi go and killed only a substitute ghost. ”
"You are an expert in this regard, we are not as good as you, but how do you judge it?" Yun Cheng looked at Lin Heipang very suspiciously, he also liked calligraphy very much, and he had copied Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, but he really hadn't studied these histories in detail.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Lin Heipang's voice suddenly became a little smaller, looking at the bidding on the TV screen, he couldn't talk about not being in a hurry, "Over the years, our domestic tomb robbery industry has been rampant, but there are very few people who know the goods. I happened to have a painting by Wang Ningzhi in my hand, I didn't know it at the beginning, I only bought it for 100 yuan, and I only found out about it when I had nothing to do with it. However, he has very few paintings, and his reputation is not good, and many people do not know it. ”
Chen Laoyi frowned: "Little black fat, you actually collected it, no wonder you swear so much, your old guy doesn't know? ”
Zhou Manrou was also puzzled: "Boss Lin, is it true that what the auctioneer said is hiding a big secret?"
"It's probably a gimmick, and it can't be counted. Yun Cheng said casually.
Lin Heipang laughed dryly: "Brother Yun, you are wrong this time, this secret may really be true, but this auctioneer is afraid that it is really a gimmick to say this." Looking at everyone looking at him, Lin Hei Fat smiled, "Actually, I'm not sure, but according to my investigation for so many years, Wang Ningzhi was very superstitious about the Heavenly Master's Dao at the beginning, and he also refined the so-called elixir of immortality, and his tomb is still unexplored, as for what the secret is, it is estimated that it has something to do with that pill." ”
Yun Cheng sneered disdainfully: "It's really a gimmick!"
"Huh. Chen Lao also smiled, "Black and fat, shoot if you like, I see that it is very lively outside, but there are several people in the private room, so it is estimated that there is not much problem in taking pictures." ”
When the black fat heard this, he immediately smiled, immediately wrote down a string of numbers, and pressed the blue button.
"40 million, the bid of the No. 8 small room is 40 million US dollars, is there anyone higher than this?" The auctioneer looked at the sudden flash of a number on the table, and was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly roared hoarsely.
Suddenly, the entire venue was a little surprised, and after a few seconds of silence, the auction price soared rapidly.
"This ...... What's going on?" the fat man was immediately dumbfounded. Yun Cheng was also surprised for a moment, but the expression on his face flashed. Zhou Manrou was no better, although she had a stunned expression from beginning to end.
"This ...... I forgot to mention that there seems to be a convention in this venue, as long as it is a small private room, most of them can cause a lot of people to compete, but it also depends on when, many people will bid fiercely at the beginning, because they know what the people in the private room need, and they can't afford to fight. Chen Lao slowly blew the hot tea in his hand and said casually.
"Ah......" Lin Heipang was speechless for a moment, "Old Chen, you...... You've hurt me, I'm ...... How can I still bid? ”
"That's it, that's it. Chen Lao waved his hand and directly pressed the blue button, and a string of numbers was sent out in Lin Hei's stunned eyes.
"$100 million! The bid for the No. 8 small room is $100 million, is there anything higher?" The auctioneer was stunned for a few seconds when he saw the numbers on the screen, his voice was very sharp, and his whole face was red with excitement.
The emotions of everyone in the venue were also excited, starting from 40 million, in just a few seconds, the price soared to 100 million US dollars, many people immediately shook their heads, although they knew that this painting scroll was really good, but 100 million US dollars to buy a painting, or made many people prohibitive.
"No, isn't there a higher price?" the auctioneer looked at the expressions of the crowd in the room, but he was not disappointed, on the contrary, he was able to auction something worth $100 million in the morning, which was something that had not been done in previous events.
"Old Chen, ...... you are" The fat man was about to speak, and the hammer in the auctioneer's hand was about to knock it off, when suddenly a number jumped out of the screen again.
"Three hundred million dollars. Room 20 bids $300 million!" the auctioneer's whole face turned red.
Yun Cheng frowned: "Black fat, don't ask for this painting, it's not worth it anymore." ”
Lin Heipang nodded with a wink, and smiled bitterly: "Brother Yun, do you think I have the ability to come up with 100 million US dollars?"
"Little black fat, you have to think about it, if you don't want it, I won't shoot. Old Chen said this very plainly, and looked at Lin Heipang indifferently.
"No, no. Lin Heipang smiled, "Old Chen, don't play with me, where can I get so much money, I don't dare to ask for your old age, otherwise I will have to let my father beat me to death when I go back." ”
"Okay, that's up to you......"
As soon as Chen Lao's words landed, the auctioneer's hammer suddenly fell: "Okay, please ask the guests in the No. 20 private room to send someone to pick up this painting, the price of 300 million, our waiter can't afford to pay it." The auctioneer joked, causing many people in the venue to laugh.
Soon the door of box 20 opened, and many people also looked at the figure walking out with envy. The figure of this person also appeared on the TV screen.
Yun Cheng looked at the person on the screen and was stunned for a moment, it was him! Was it the foreigner who was in the venue, the eagle team was following, the foreigner who was talking to the eagle? He was still there? Yun Cheng's mind was tossing and turning at this moment, his brows furrowed, and his face changed slightly. Although he only saw this person's face from the side in the venue at that time, Yun Cheng thought that he would not admit it, and the skull pattern loomed in the hands where he took the painting scroll.
"Elder Chen, can anyone book this private room?" Yun Cheng turned his head and asked Elder Chen, in fact, this question had been hovering in Yun Cheng's heart for a long time.
Old Chen's eyes widened slightly, and he glanced at Yuncheng lightly: "This is not necessarily, except for private rooms 1 to 10, the rest are people who need a certain identity and status to be able to decide, generally speaking, it is either rich or expensive." As for the private rooms from 1 to the number, I can't tell you about this for the time being. ”
Lin Hei Fat Man was also stunned, and looked at Yun Cheng with the same doubts, obviously he didn't know anything.
Yun Cheng half-squinted, obviously thinking about another meaning in Chen Lao's words, but in a blink of an eye, he looked at Zhou Manrou, and looked at Chen Lao again with an inquiring look, but saw that he looked completely ignorant, and he also pressed the doubts in his heart.
Soon, the foreigner returned to the private room, as soon as the door of the No. 20 private room closed, the auction continued, Zhou Manrou continued to hold Yun Cheng's arm after eating papaya, although there was still surprise in her eyes, but it seemed that she had become numb, for what she saw and heard today, this smart woman has not crossed the slightest.
Another item was auctioned away, and the auctioneer's emotions became excited again: "The following thing is naturally one of my hearts, this thing is very special, very, very special, so special that I can't describe it in words." The auctioneer uncovered the red cloth, and a crescent-shaped jade plaque suddenly appeared on the TV screen.
Yun Cheng was immediately stunned, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, and he hurriedly touched the white cloth roll he was carrying, but after touching the crescent-shaped jade plate, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts and surprise in his eyes still did not dissipate......
