Chapter Ninety-Nine: Malicious Price Hike (I)
"Well, thanks to Yu Lao, you are here, otherwise I will definitely be deceived, this person is really too dark-hearted......"
After hearing Yu Lao's words, Bai Chuxia stuck out her tongue, although she had a good background, she had a very strict family education, and the sum of her New Year's money from childhood to adulthood was only seventy or eighty thousand, which was only given to her by her parents after she went to college.
So if you are cheated out of 50,000 at once, Bai Chuxia will also be very distressed, this will be secretly holding a small fist, preparing to educate them well when she sees the fat man and them tomorrow, this is a good thing to act bravely, but it is not right to be a profiteer.
"I'm black-hearted?"
Hearing Bai Chuxia's evaluation of herself, Fang Yi couldn't help crying and laughing, if it weren't for the fact that the two brothers, Fat Man and Sanpao, had promised her, Fang Yi wouldn't be willing to sell that string of King Kong to her at all.
"It seems that Ming'er herself is going to come forward......"
Fang Yi glanced at Bai Chuxia and Yu Lao with the corner of his eyes, if Yu Lao Ming'er couldn't see that his string of King Kong was a magic weapon, then his great reputation in the antique shop, I am afraid that there was also a lot of water.
Listening to the conversation between Officer Bai and Yu Lao, time passed quickly, and the conversation between the two of them distracted Fang Yi's attention, and the uncomfortable feeling in his brain was relieved a lot, and he didn't care much about the auction on the stage, whether it was Yu Lao who was talking or Fang Yi who was eavesdropping.
There are not many people who participate in the auction, and they are all optimistic about what they want to buy, the bidding is not very fierce, almost half of the things have been auctioned at the starting price, in Fang Yi's opinion, this is also the reason why Man Jun said that there are leaks to pick up.
"Hey, Fang Yi, it's time for what I'm going to shoot......" Just as the host announced the next ranking, Man Jun suddenly touched Fang Yi with his arm excitedly.
"Brother Man, whose painting is it?"
Fang Yi asked casually, he had just seen Man Jun holding this painting all the time, but based on Fang Yi's observation, there seemed to be a lot of people who were interested in this painting in the waves of people who came to power, and Brother Man might not be able to take it down.
"It's Zhu Youzhen's painting, do you know who he is?"
Man Jun looked at Fang Yi with a smile, with a smug look on his face, he knew that Fang Yi's ancient literary skills were very good, but the name he said was relatively obscure, in the Manchu army, Fang Yi definitely didn't know him.
"Hmm, you can name Zhu Youzhen, yes, not many people know this name......
Under the excitement of the Manchu army, the voice of the voice was a little loud, but it was heard by Yu Xuan and Bai Chuxia next to him, Yu Xuan even opened his mouth and smiled at Fang Yi: "Young man, Zhu Youzhen is the real name of this painter, in fact, his name is more famous......"
"Zhu Youzhen, Brother Man, are you testing me?"
Fang Yi also laughed when he heard this, and said: "If I talk about others, I definitely don't know it, but I really know the name You Zhen, his original name is Zhu Qi, his name is Youzhen, the word Xue, the number is Bada Shanren, a mountain, a donkey house, etc., he is a descendant of Zhu Quan, the king of Mingning, and he cut his hair and became a monk after the death of the Ming Dynasty, Brother Man, am I right?"
"Huh, do you really know?"
Two sounds of surprise sounded on Fang Yi's left and right at the same time, obviously Man Jun and Yu Lao didn't expect Fang Yi to be able to say the answer, because Zhu Qi's most famous name was Bada Shanren, and the name You Huan was not a person who had studied it deeply, so he didn't know it at all.
"Fang Yi, aren't you a Taoist priest, how come you even know about the monk?" The Manchu army originally wanted to show off, but before he could think about it, Fang Yi told the origin of the Bada Mountain people in one bite.
"Brother Man, it seems that you don't know much about Zhu Qi......"
Fang Yi smiled and said: "Although Zhu Qi is known as the fourth monk in the early Qing Dynasty, in fact, after he has been a monk for a few years, he converted to Taoism, and he lived in the Taoist temple until he died, do you think I know?"
As Fang Yi said, Manjun said that he may not be able to know about others, but people related to Taoism, Fang Yi is almost all familiar with them, and his master is very respectful of the paintings of the Bada Shanren, and he used to mention them in Fang Yi's ears.
"Huh?
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Man Jun was a little dumbfounded, he learned most of the things and swallowed dates, after knowing that the Bada Mountain people were known as the four monks in the early Qing Dynasty, he took it for granted that he was a monk, but he didn't expect Zhu Qi to dump the Buddha and change to Daozu?
"Well, the young man is good, and there are not many people who know this allusion, not bad......"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Yu Xuan also had a look of surprise on his face, and couldn't help but praise Fang Yi through Bai Chuxia, it stands to reason that people who are engaged in the antique industry have to memorize the backgrounds of all kinds of ancient people, but there are really few people who can really do this.
"Okay, let's start filming......"
Man Jun's attention suddenly fell on the stage, because the host had already quoted a reserve price of 50,000 yuan, which was really very low in terms of the artistic achievements and reputation of the Bada Shanren.
"300,000!" Just as the host's words fell, Man Jun suddenly raised the lot in his hand and suddenly increased the reserve price of 50,000 yuan by six times.
"300,000, friend No. 28 bid 300,000, is there anyone bidding again?"
The host was also stunned by Manjun's unreasonable bid, according to the rules of the auction, the price of items between 50,000 and 100,000 yuan is increased in units of 5,000, and there is really no need to raise it so high all at once.
"Brother Man, you have the courage to ......"
In the audience, I am afraid that only Fang Yi can guess the thoughts of the Manchu army, Fang Yi knows that the Manchu army only brought a total of 350,000, and he called out 300,000 at once, just to put on his own momentum, and want to deter those who are interested in this painting.
Not to mention, this method of the Manchu army really has some effect, after the words of the person who presided over the auction fell, no one in the venue made an offer for nearly a minute, you know, the price of Bada Shanren's paintings is now in the five or six hundred thousand, and even if it can be bought, the profit is not much.
"310,000 ......" Just when a hint of joy appeared on Manjun's face, a voice suddenly sounded, "Old Man, I'm sorry, the works of Bada Shanren have been very high in recent years, you can't take this painting for 300,000, I'll add 10,000 first......"
"Lao Xie, then the price will be the ......"
Seeing Xie Qingyang who spoke, the roots of Manjun's hatred itched, saying that Xie Qingyang is not a specialist in calligraphy and painting, and his interference must be due to the factor of revenge on himself because of the fan of Tang Bohu.
Although his mind was scolding, Manjun's face was not revealed, but he raised the number plate again and said: "Three hundred and fifty thousand, I will give three hundred and fifty thousand ......."
When Man Jun said this price, Xie Qingyang couldn't help but hesitate a little, he didn't know if he should make another price.
Although it is said that the paintings before 1840 are all ancient paintings, but in the ancient painting market of the 2,000 years, the painting of Bada Shanren is not his masterpiece, and the price at auction is at best five or six hundred thousand yuan.
"Three hundred and sixty thousand!"
After hesitating for a while, Xie Qingyang still added another 10,000, all of them were mixed in the industry and became fine characters, he could naturally see that the Manchu army wanted to win this painting, and he only added 10,000, and the Manchu army would definitely bid again, Xie Qingyangquan should have maliciously raised the price for the Manchu army and asked him to spend more money.
"Yes, thank you for wanting it so much, I don't want it......"
When the Manchu army said this, his heart was dripping blood, where did he not want it, but he was really shy in his pocket, even if it was 350,000, the Manchu army still had to count the 20,000 yuan deposit paid at the door, and he couldn't get out one more point.
"Brother Man, why don't you take my 20,000 yuan first?" Fang Yi whispered, he could also see that Brother Man wanted to take pictures of this painting.
"No, if you can't buy it......"
Man Jun forcibly suppressed the loss in his heart, first whispered back to Fang Yi, and then said loudly: "Lao Xie, I just took a cursory look at this painting, and it feels like it's real, but I'm really not sure if it's a fake, you'd better find an expert to identify it when you buy it......"
Although the financial resources are not as good as others, Xie Qingyang snatched this painting, but the Manchu army is not a good person, Xie Qingyang's face changed in a few simple words, he knew that the Manchu army's attainments in the identification of calligraphy and painting antiques were stronger than his own.
After Xie Qingyang took this painting, he went to Beijing to find a famous calligraphy and painting artist in China to help identify it, counting the round-trip fee plus the appraisal fee, the cost of Xie Qingyang's painting was almost 400,000.
Although 400,000 yuan can also recover the cost, Xie Qingyang is unhappy in his heart, he knows that he was also put on the side by the Manchu army, so he sold the painting at a price of 420,000 yuan a year later.
But what Xie Qingyang didn't expect was that only three years had passed, and the paintings of the Bada Shanren had doubled more than ten times, thinking of the painting he had shot, Xie Qingyang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, of course, these are all later words.
