Chapter 496: Art is Priceless

In fact, the host made a very serious mistake just now.

That is, it should not be said at the beginning that this "Female Historian" is very cheap.

You must know that these guests who can participate in the cruise ship auction are all diamond-level members of the Jockey Club, and the asset verification must be at least billions of dollars.

In the past, when they were at the Magnificent Hotel, these people could auction a pearl necklace that was not very valuable for eight million dollars for the sake of so-called face, but now if they bid for these five or six hundred thousand US dollars, these top rich people will inevitably feel shameless.

To use the most popular sentence in Huaxia to explain their behavior, that is: do not buy the best, buy the most expensive.

I can't afford to lose this person.

As for Prince Ahmed, who came from afar, they were even less interested in calligraphy and painting, they only liked the artworks that could be displayed and placed at home for people to see, and the colors were bright and beautiful, and they did not mention the spirit of this kind of calligraphy and painting with historical value at all.

So to sum up several factors, it led to the fact that on the charity auction night, the most valuable "Female Historian" was neglected, no one bid, but out of politeness, the guests would not let the host take out the type of items, symbolically called twice, if someone continued to bid, then forget it.

"It's obviously the most valuable thing, but the Jockey Club doesn't say a word about its origin, this is really planning to do charity and public welfare......"

Qin Fan was also a little uncertain, on the one hand, he was worried about what the horse would do on the cruise tonight, and on the other hand, he was worried that "The Female Historian" was really auctioned off for one million dollars and missed this great opportunity.

"One million and one million. Qin Fan pressed the red button in his hand, and the number corresponding to Qin Fan's identity immediately appeared on the screen in front of the host, almost making him cry, just now, he thought that the first unsuccessful auction in his life was coming, and now there are two people bidding, and his face looks much better.

However, out of professional ethics, in order to maximize the benefits of the auction items, the host still habitually asked: "The two gentlemen have called the price to 1.1 million US dollars, ladies and gentlemen, do you have any more to bid?"

"1,500,000 ......"

Just as the host's words fell, the fluent Mandarin voice sounded again, and the owner, who directly bid for one million dollars, pressed the bidding button again.

Qin Fan remembered this voice, and at night at the Fuli Hotel, the owner of "Da Bo Ruo Jackfruit Sutra" was auctioned at a sky-high price of 239 million yuan, and he was also this voice.

It seems to be a young man with black-rimmed glasses, named Guo Tian.

The reason why Qin Fan had an impression of him was because there were not many mainlanders attending the auction tonight, and when he met a member who was also from the mainland, Qin Fan paid more attention.

"Three million ......"

Qin Fan is too lazy to talk nonsense, even if there is a trap, it is impossible for him not to shoot "The Female Historian", and he expects that this number will definitely not be able to be filmed, so try the water first and see what the situation on the scene is, and then talk about it.

"A broken painting with no origin, even dare to auction at this price. ”

"Are mainlanders so rich now?"

"Yes, now the real estate industry in the mainland is the same as ours 30 years ago, and the local tyrants worth tens of billions of dollars have grabbed a lot of money, which is really enviable......"

Qin Fan's bid made all the guests in the venue talk about it, although relatively secret face protection measures were taken on the spot, but the two of them were fluent in Mandarin, and it was still easy to distinguish the place.

"Now this painting has been called to three million! Is there anyone else going to continue bidding?"

"Four million. It was still Guo Tian's voice.

"Seven million. "Qin Fan is too lazy to ink, he plans to be a local tyrant tonight, and directly overwhelm the other party with the price.

"Eight million!" the other party did not show weakness.

"Ten million ......" Qin Fan's tone was still flat.

"Uh...... I'm sorry to interrupt, all the bidding prices tonight are calculated in US dollars, I think you two know it very well, right?" Seeing that the auction was about to reach a white heat, the host suddenly couldn't stand still, and hurriedly interrupted and reminded.

"Eleven million dollars!" The other party directly added the currency unit after the price this time, as if to remind the host, do you still need to say?

"Fifteen million. Qin Fan shook his head, the other party always added one million to one million, which made him feel a little bored.

"Twenty million!"

In a seat not far from Qin Fan, an old man with a bit of northern accent also pressed the button in his hand at this time.

Hearing this old man's pronunciation, Qin Fan was slightly stunned, a little unable to remember what the origin of this person was.

"Mr. Xia should still remember Mr. Qian, who was sitting next to you at the Fuli Hotel and brought his granddaughter to participate in the auction......" Hong Xin reminded in a low voice on the side.

Qin Fan nodded suddenly, it seems that there are still people who know the goods, no one can recognize its value in "The Female History of Zhentu", mainly because mobile phones are not allowed on the spot, and some appraisers brought with them are also unable to enter because they are not enough to be a member of the Jockey Club, and they can't check their mobile phones, so they can only rely on their rich auction experience and eyesight to judge.

And the fact that the old man was able to break in at a high price at this time proves that after a period of consideration and consideration, he determined the value of this "Female History Atlas" before he made a bold move.

"Mr. Qian made his fortune in real estate, and I heard that there are a lot of real estate and land in the mainland, mainly to build large shopping malls and business centers, and his net worth is not low, it seems that Mr. Xia is about to meet a strong opponent...... "Hong Xin said with a smile.

Qin Fan glanced at her, "What do you think of this painting?"

"Huh?" Hong Xin was stunned for a moment, but looking at Qin Fan's clear gaze, he asked softly, "Mr. Xia, are you asking me, is this painting worth taking?"

Qin Fan nodded.

"Uh...... Since it can be photographed for 20 million US dollars, it should have its value, right?" Hong thought for a moment and asked tentatively.

"What if it's 200 million?" Qin Fan said with a smile.

"It depends on how much Mr. Xia thinks it is worth, gold is valuable, art is priceless, some family descendants, in order to buy ancestral things, even at the expense of bankruptcy, debts, but also let the ancestors' things return to their original place, even if it is only worth a piece, but the unknown history hidden behind this thing, perhaps...... There's no way to calculate it in money. Hong Xin gave an ambiguous answer.

But this gave Qin Fan a certain amount of inspiration, nodded, and moved his gaze to the scene that was already hot in the sound of bidding.

But in a matter of minutes.

"The Female Historian" has been called for 40 million US dollars, and the auction has not stopped.

"Fifty million!" This time, Guo Tian gave up the bidding rhythm of one million and one million, and directly increased the price by 20 million, causing an uproar at the scene.

However, Qian Sheng didn't mean to stop at all, directly pressed the red button, and said loudly: "100 million! I'm going to decide on this painting, you can let the horse come over, try to see if I have the financial resources, and fight with you." ”

After a long time of careful thinking, Qian Sheng has made up his mind that he must get his hands on this "Female History Atlas", even if it is for the sake of future generations, and buy an insurance for his career, after all, money can be earned again, this level of treasure, can be met but not sought, once encountered, must be taken, otherwise in this life, may not be able to see a second sight.

"One hundred and fifty million. Guo Tian pressed the red button, he and Qian Sheng had the same idea at the moment, he must win this "Female History Map" tonight, it is just the starting point, but it is completely different.

"200 million, this friend, if you really like these calligraphy and paintings, I still have a lot of collections in the Tang and Song dynasties at home, there is an old saying in China, a gentleman does not take the favor of others, if you can raise your noble hand tonight, and when you leave here, I can invite you to my house as a guest, as long as you have something you like, you can pick one, I still want to make a friend with such a person of insight......"
