Chapter 177: Negotiated Bidding
On the auction table, two staff members took out an ancient calligraphy and painting and unfolded it on the stage, and at the same time enlarged and projected the calligraphy and painting onto the curtain through a projector, so that every auctioneer in the audience could see this watercolor painting of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"The starting price is fifteen million! Is there anyone shouting! Is there anyone shouting!" shouted the auctioneer.
"Sixteen million!" said someone immediately.
"Sixteen million first, sixteen million second - seventeen million, seventeen million first, seventeen million second - eighteen million......"
"Fifty million!" Xiao Kun suddenly raised his card, he seemed too lazy to increase the price by one million and one million.
"Fifty million! fifty million for the first time, fifty million for the second time, and no one is higher than fifty million!" The auctioneer's voice became excited.
"Sixty million!"
Wang Yaohui suddenly raised his card.
"The prince of Fusheng Group is really powerful, he is really rich and powerful!" Lin Xiaotian hurriedly took this opportunity to pat himself on the back to save the eyeless just now.
And Wang Yaohui regarded him as nothing, bowed his head and said to Luo Xi on the side: "I'll raise a card for Uncle Lo once." The implication is that if Luo Yucheng raises his card, he will not raise the price again.
"My dad doesn't need you to help him hold up the card, if he wants to take a picture of this scene, you don't have the ability or the right to grab it from him. Luo Xi said.
"Well, I still have a lot to learn from Uncle Lo. Wang Yaohui immediately agreed obediently.
"Eighty million!" Xiao Kun raised his card again.
"Eighty million first! eighty million second!" the auctioneer foamed at the mouth with excitement.
"One hundred and thirty million!" Luo Yucheng finally shouted. And as soon as he shouted, he directly increased the price by 50 million, and there was a sigh at the scene.
130 million is the highest asking price so far.
Xiao Kun frowned, this 130 million has exceeded his expectations, after all, the artistic level of this "Drunken Goose in the Lotus Pond" is not high compared to other ancient masters, if it is not related to the name Zhang Huaixian, it will be sold for about 40 or 50 million at most.
This is like gambling on a stone, you don't know its true value before you buy it and cut it, if you take this painting for more than 100 million, and it is revealed that it is not painted by Zhang Huaixian before it changes hands, then the price of this painting will drop instantly.
Xiao Kun bowed his head and discussed with a few of his scholar friends.
"130 million for the first time...... 130 million second ......" The auctioneer started shouting again, and slowed down the speed of the bidding, he wanted to see if there was anyone else on the scene who could shout a higher price than 130 million.
"One hundred and forty million!" Xiao Kun finally raised his card again.
"140 million! This boss paid 140 million! There is no one who pays more!" the auctioneer yelled excitedly.
"Boss Luo, can we discuss. Xiao Kun suddenly said to Luo Yucheng beside him, "Now I am the only one here who is interested in and has the ability to grab this painting with you." ”
"So what?" Luo Yucheng replied coldly.
"I know that you, like me, have only come here to be interested in two paintings, one is "Drunken Goose in the Lotus Pond" and the other is "Lady Washing Clothes". Instead of the two of us desperately trying to bargain for the Henggu Auction House, it is better for us to choose one by one. I'll let you choose first. If you shoot this "Drunken Goose on the Lotus Pond", I hope that you will be able to raise your hand when you bid for "The Lady Who Washes the Clothes". Xiao Kun said.
Luo Yucheng thought for a moment, then said, "Agreed." ”
Then when the auctioneer shouted whether anyone raised the card for the third time, Luo Yucheng did not raise the card, which means that compared with "Drunk Goose in the Lotus Pond", Luo Yucheng is more optimistic about "Washing Girl".
"The Drunken Goose on the Lotus Pond sold for 140 million!" the auctioneer rang the auction hammer.
"Thank you, Boss Luo, for agreeing. Xiao Kun smiled at Luo Yucheng, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his final photograph of "Drunken Goose in the Lotus Pond".
"The next famous painting of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to be auctioned is "The Lady Who Washes Clothes". The auctioneer shouted, "This painting is also unsigned, but it is very likely to be an early work by Zhang Huaixian, and the starting price is 15 million." ”
"It's Xiao Miao's turn to wash the shirt. When Zhang Xiaobei saw this calligraphy and painting again after a thousand years of absence, he seemed to see Xiao Miao's little girl standing in front of him vividly.
Xiao Miao is a little girl who lives next door to him, and when she was eight years old, she climbed over the wall along her tree and climbed into his yard to play.
By chance, when she saw Zhang Xiaobei painting by the small pond in the courtyard, she became interested in painting, and Zhang Xiaobei couldn't stand her entanglement and began to teach her to paint.
It's a pity that she moved away with her family after three years, otherwise with a little more teaching, she would have been able to paint "The Lady Washing Clothes" better. Zhang Xiaobei muttered to himself.
As soon as the filming of this "Washing Lady" started, Luo Yucheng directly shouted the price of 100 million! Because Xiao Kun had already made an appointment with him just now, he didn't come out to rob him again.
The last "Lady in Clothes" has been sold for 100 million. There are many bosses present who can actually afford a higher price than 100 million, but they don't dare to bid with Luo Yucheng for fear of offending this giant crocodile in Dongming City.
The next calligraphy and paintings no longer have a high auction value, and many of them are two or three percent higher than the auction price or directly sold at the starting price.
However, a calligraphy and painting of "Wood Dyeing House" was sold at a price three times higher than the auction price, and the starting price of this painting was only 3 million.
But Luo Xi fell in love with this painting, so she held up a sign, how did she know that Wang Yaohui had been at a top price with her, and when it reached 9 million, she gave up, so Wang Yaohui took it.
"Luo Xi, I took this picture for you on purpose. Wang Yaohui said to Luo Xi immediately after taking the picture.
"You and I are paying the same price just to give it to me?" Luo Xi said.
"It's only when you hold up a sign that I can know which painting you like here, and since I know you like it, I'll buy it for you, no matter how expensive it is. Wang Yaohui said.
"Then I'll tell you, I don't like it anymore. Luo Xi said a little angrily.
"I'll tell the auction house to send the paintings to your house. Wang Yaohui insisted.
Luo Xi ignored him and went to make small talk with her best friend.
"The last painting to be auctioned today is the "Eastern Jin Dynasty Graffiti Drawing"!" the auctioneer said, "Although this watercolor graffiti painting has no artistic value, after all, it is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is relatively rare, so it still has the value of collecting, and the starting price is 50,000 yuan." ”
"Finally it was my turn to paint. Zhang Xiaobei couldn't help but sit up slightly and began to look around.
He wondered if anyone present could finally get a glimpse of the secret of the painting.
"It's finally my turn!"
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, then rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture of doing a big job, and sat here for a long time and finally waited for him to raise his cards.
