The next day, the Henggu auction site.

Due to the impact of the sale price of a painting of 3 billion yuan yesterday, the number of people in this Henggu auction house today is two or three times more than yesterday.

Many of them came with the mentality of picking up leaks. First of all, Zhang Huaixian, a historical figure, is not famous, let alone ordinary citizens, and even many historians have not heard of his name.

But the painting made by such a figure that almost no one knows has a starting price of 500 million. In the end, the transaction price reached a staggering 3 billion.

Others questioned that this was a deliberate hype by the Henggu auction in order to attract attention and raise the price of the next auction item

One way or another. Many pairs of eyes are glued to today's auction.

Zhang Xiaobei and Xiang Yu said that he would first check Luo Xi's details and arrange the next move, so they went out alone. Let Xiang Yu, Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun stay in the hotel, and the three of them will have a good time together.

The auction starts at 11 a.m. Zhang Xiaobei came to the Henggu auction venue at half past ten.

The people gathered here today are all people with heads and faces.

Zhang Xiaobei was just about to walk into the door of the venue when a tall man in a security uniform stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Excuse me, but please show me your guest card. The security officer said.

Zhang Xiaobei looked left and right and found that the people who walked into the auction hall were wearing a card around their necks, which should be the guest card that the other party said.

For the sake of prudence, only those who have been invited in advance and have a guest card are allowed to enter the auction venue. Only these people have the financial resources to auction the calligraphy and paintings auctioned at the venue.

Zhang Xiaobei didn't have a guest card, so he had to withdraw from the door.

For the current Zhang Xiaobei, it is not easy to get a guest card based on his current identity and social status. But he can rely on his friend's means.

It just so happened that he met a very energetic friend in TS City.

Long Quansheng, the richest man in TS City.

Immediately, Zhang Xiaobei made a phone call to Long Quansheng.

"That's easy! Wait a minute, I'll make a call for you. Long Quansheng replied very cheerfully.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaobei stood at the door of the venue and waited. About ten minutes later, a tall, thin man in a suit and tie hurried out of the venue, and then looked around at the door.

Soon his eyes stayed on Zhang Xiaobei, and after picking up his mobile phone to compare and confirm, he ran to Zhang Xiaobei.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhang Xiaobei? The other party said very respectfully.

"Well, yes. Zhang Xiaobei replied, knowing that it was a call from Long Quansheng that worked.

"This is a guest card, please keep it away from Mr. Zhang. The other party handed over a white card with both hands, "I'm sorry, we couldn't send you a guest card in time, this is a dereliction of our duty." ”

"It's fine. ”

Zhang Xiaobei smiled slightly, didn't want to say more to him, walked into the venue with the guest card, and the staff in the venue issued him a white sign, which was the price tag.

At this time, it was still early, the auction had not officially started, and the guests in the venue were chatting in twos and threes.

"Boss Luo is here!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and everyone's eyes were focused on a man of medium stature who had just walked into the venue.

This person is Luo Yucheng, the chairman of Luohua Group, and next to him stands a more dazzling existence - Luo Xi, the first beauty in Mocheng.

Luo Xi's appearance made all the people who had already sat down stand up again and look at each other. There are even quite a few people who pick up their mobile phones and secretly take pictures.

But Zhang Xiaobei's expression was dignified.

"Isn't this Yu Ji!"

This Luo Xi actually looks exactly like Yu Ji back then. No wonder even Xiang Yu thinks she is Yu Ji, just looking at her appearance, she is exactly the same person.

Soon a group of people gathered around Luo Yucheng, in today's Dongming City, Luo Yucheng's financial resources are among the top five, and all the businessmen present want to flatter this big boss, and they can also take this opportunity to appreciate the beauty of this Luo Daqian from a quiet distance.

Luo Yucheng has always protected his daughter very well before, and never took her to appear in public places, and it seems that it is the first time to bring her to this auction today, and some people with a heart can immediately guess Luo Yucheng's intentions, he is planning to start letting his daughter take over his big business.

"Boss Luo, which painting do you want to take today?" a man in his sixties wearing silver-rimmed glasses suddenly walked up to Luo Yucheng and asked.

"Isn't this Boss Xiao from Nantong City?"

It didn't take long for someone to recognize the man.

"Xiao Kun, the big boss of Nantong City, why did he come today. ”

"I heard that he has recently started to engage in the study of ancient calligraphy and painting, and has made a lot of money by digging up some ancient calligraphy and paintings that have been looked down upon, buying low and selling high. ”

It seems that he also took a fancy to this auction of ancient calligraphy and paintings in the Eastern Jin Dynasty today, and wanted to auction a few historical pearls from it, and then speculate on it to change hands at a high price. ”

"It turned out to be Boss Xiao. ”

Luo Yucheng also recognized the other party.

The two shook hands very politely.

"Boss Luo, which painting do you want to shoot today?" Xiao Kun continued to ask, he seemed to care about Luo Yucheng's answer to this question, he probably felt that his biggest competitor on the scene was this Luo Yucheng.

Luo Yucheng saw that Xiao Kun was still accompanied by several scholars, who should be experts in ancient calligraphy and painting, helping Xiao Kun find the most valuable calligraphy and painting in the auction.

"When the auction starts, Boss Xiao will naturally know. Luo Yucheng said with a smile.

Luo Yucheng came to this auction today for only one purpose, that is, to find a calligraphy and painting painted by Zhang Huaixian, and then auction it.

According to ancient records, in addition to "Tibetan Xi Shi", many of Zhang Huaixian's calligraphy and paintings are unsigned, and there is no seal on the painting, and later generations have to find out his calligraphy and painting according to his pen strength, painting style and layout habits.

If you can successfully find Zhang Huaixian's calligraphy and painting today, no matter what the price, Luo Yucheng thinks it is worth it.

After years of research on Zhang Huaixian and the opinions of experts in ancient calligraphy and painting, he felt that the two calligraphy and paintings in today's auction were most likely from Zhang Huaixian.

These two paintings are "Drunken Goose in the Lotus Pond" and "Lady Washing Clothes". However, anyone who has an in-depth study of calligraphy and painting can see that these two paintings are still a few grades lower than the painting attainments of "Tibetan Xi Shi", but their painting styles are very similar.

Therefore, the experts he is familiar with give two possibilities, the first point is that this is Zhang Huaixian's work when he was young, when his painting attainments had not yet reached its peak, so the painting he made was not as amazing as "Tibetan Xi Shi".

There is also a possibility that later generations imitated and learned the calligraphy and paintings created by Zhang Huaixian's painting style.

Whatever the possibility, Luo Yucheng already planned to get his hands on these two paintings first.
