Chapter 417: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Lin Xiaoguang seemed to see a man who could shine, and his gestures were free and heroic.

Because this person has always been extravagant and extravagant, some people once joked that in the domestic art collection auction venue, the only one who is more generous than him is probably the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

In July this year, this person also bought a piece of royal furniture at the Sotheby's Xiangjiang auction at a price of 00,000 US dollars (about 70.75 million yuan) - Qianlong Rosewood Throne, setting a record for the price of Chinese furniture.

While that's a significant increase from the previous estimate of $3.9 million, Mossbend antiques dealer Kevin Lee told Bloomberg that he had "taken a big advantage" and that the piece would continue to fetch prices in the future.

After confirming that this person was present, Huang Zhongjun slowed down for a while before calming down and said to Lin Xiaoguang: "That man's name is Liu Yiqian, and he may be one of the three most famous merchant collectors in China. ”

Lin Xiaoguang said with emotion: "Our China is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I have never heard of the name Liu Yiqian before, and he is so rich...... Who are the other two great gods?"

"What god?" asked Huang Zhongjun absentmindedly.

Lin Xiaoguang said with a straight face: "It's the other two merchant collectors you said." ”

"One is Huang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda......" Huang Zhongjun paused, and stopped talking.

"And what about the other one?" Lin Xiaoguang asked after breaking the casserole.

Huang Zhongjun pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Lin Xiaoguang stared at Huang Zhongjun, who seriously claimed to be one of the three major collectors in China, and secretly felt like laughing, but he still pretended to be shocked and said: "Big brother, the other person you are talking about is you." ”

"Hmm. Huang Zhongjun nodded.

"160 million for the first time!"

"160,000,000 for the second time!"

"160 million ......"

Without waiting for the host to finish speaking, Huang Zhongjun thought for a moment and raised the number plate in his hand again: "I will give 170 million!"

This time it was the turn of the organizer of the auction to be surprised, and the host was also dumbfounded, 170 million auctions of a Van Gogh painting, has created a historical record for domestic auction houses.

The host trembled and shouted, "170 million for the first time!"

The scene was silent.

The host continued to shout: "One hundred and seventy million for the second time!"

The scene was still silent.

After the third time, once the hammer is dropped, after the delivery, Van Gogh's collection, "Red Vineyard", belongs to Huang Zhongjun.

Looking at the calm Huang Zhongjun with a confident demeanor, Lin Xiaoguang was so nervous that he didn't know what to say......

You know, that's 170 million!

Even if Lin Xiaoguang now sells all the houses he has hoarded in the magic capital and the capital for so many years, plus the deposits in the bank, it is completely incomparable to the value of a famous painting.

However, although Lin Xiaoguang did not know how to appreciate oil paintings, nor did he understand why the painting "Red Vineyard" could be auctioned at such a high price, he still maintained a sense of awe for this artwork.

The host was shocked, and he was about to prepare to drop the hammer.

Suddenly, there was another shout at the scene: "I bid 180 million!"

When he landed, the audience was dumbfounded!

Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly turned his gaze over, and when he saw it, he was still the elegant and calm man - Liu Yiqian.

Liu Yiqian, who was wearing a plaid shirt, stood proudly, so handsome.

Lin Xiaoguang felt goosebumps all over his body, and there was a shock like being shocked!

This is the scene that a man dreams of!

What man doesn't want to be angry!

Huang Zhongjun hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head with a wry smile and put down the number plate in his hand.

In the face of Huang Zhongjun's frustration, even if Lin Xiaoguang wanted to help, he could only sigh, he couldn't help.

"180 million for the first time!"

"One hundred and eighty million for the second time!"

"180 million for the third time!" The moment the auctioneer struck the hammer, the audience was in an uproar.

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu Yiqian, a great collector from the magic capital, for winning Van Gogh's masterpiece "The Red Vineyard". ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu......"

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu for winning Van Gogh's famous painting. ”

“……”

Everyone congratulated Liu Yiqian, but Liu Yiqian just glanced at Huang Zhongjun and made a gesture of acknowledgment to him.

"Xiaoguang, why are you still stunned, let's go, if I had known that he would come, I wouldn't have come today. Huang Zhongjun waved his sleeves and hurriedly left his seat.

"Big brother, is that Mr. Liu really so powerful?" Lin Xiaoguang followed Huang Zhongjun and walked out of the auction site.

After a while, the two of them left in a car.

Sitting in the car, Huang Zhongjun, who was silent all the way, held back for a long time, and only then did a swear word come out of his mouth coldly: "What a fart, this guy is a madman!"

Lin Xiaoguang asked with interest, "What's the crazy method?"

Huang Zhongjun said angrily: "That guy doesn't know art at all, let alone collecting, so he knows how to pick expensive ones to buy!"

Lin Xiaoguang said with emotion: "Then he is really rich!"

Huang Zhongjun sighed: "You are right, but it is a pity to lose to a nouveau riche like him, so it is a pity to miss this famous painting of Van Gogh." ”

"As far as I know, though, he's never lost a bid. ”

"So awesome?"

Huang Zhongjun snorted and said angrily: "What a cow, it's a dog, a mad dog! A mad dog that bites someone when he catches it!"

In other words, after knowing each other for so many years, Lin Xiaoguang saw Huang Zhongjun lose his temper for the first time, and for a while, he didn't know what to say......

"Big brother, do you have something to do with him?"

Huang Zhongjun said: "Sort of, anyway, every time he participates in the auction, he likes to raise the bar with others......"

Hearing Huang Zhongjun say this, Lin Xiaoguang became more and more interested in this Mr. Liu.

In fact, Liu Yiqian's shot has not always been so generous.

At first, when he first entered the auction market, Liu Yiqian also liked to buy cheaply, but later he found that collecting is different from stocks, not cheap ones are valuable.

What confuses him even more is that some people say that a work of art is real and some say it is fake, some people say it is cheap, some people say it is expensive.

Liu Yiqian couldn't figure out a way at first, and then simply let the market have the final say, that is, only buy the most expensive, and don't buy the inexpensive ones.

As for the relationship between Huang Zhongjun and Liu Yiqian, it goes back to the last century.

As early as 997, in the autumn auction of Duoyunxuan, Huang Zhongjun fell in love with a masterpiece of Wu Hufan, and he was determined to get it.

The pre-auction estimate of this painting was 200,000-800,000 yuan, which was already a sky-high price at that time.

Unexpectedly, a young man fell in love with him, raising the price to an astonishing 240,000 yuan, and finally pocketed it.

Huang Zhongjun was angry and vowed never to buy Wu Hufan's works again.

This young man is Liu Yiqian, many people think he is crazy, and some people say that he can't solve it in 00 years.

As a result, the painting later multiplied dozens of times!

……

It's twilight.

Riding in Boss Ma's luxury car, Lin Xiaoguang and Huang Zhongjun came to the so-called "lowest-density villa park in China".

This villa park is located in the center of the city on the island of Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake, known as "Peach Blossom Spring".

There are many hillsides, rivers, ponds, and streams in the park, with beautiful mountains and rivers, gentle slopes and quiet valleys, and beautiful forests, which can be described as a beautiful artistic conception.

After getting out of the car, Lin Xiaoguang stood at the door of Boss Ma's house, just looking from the gate, it was as grand as the mansion of ancient dignitaries.
