20. Three collections
The reversal of events was too fast.
At the same time, netizens found that the two professors who had been torn apart on the Internet for two days deleted all Weibo at the same time, and Professor Du also apologized.
This made netizens wonder.
Professor Du Wei's deletion of Weibo is understandable, after all, he lost the fight this time.
But why did Professor Dong also delete Weibo?
In fact, to put it bluntly, all of this is just the operation of the 'Qiulin Auction House'.
Only when there are doubts can the greatest publicity be raised.
The louder the doubt, the greater the publicity.
At this time, the whole country knew that an auction house in Shanghai was about to face the world and auction a famous painting.
Moreover, in Europe, the Americas and other regions, it has also caused great controversy.
For a time, luxury planes flew to China from all over the world.
……
Soon, the time came to June 1st.
On this day, it is International Children's Day, a festival for children around the world.
This day is also the third anniversary of the birth of 'Qiulin Auction House'.
On this day, at No. 19 North Bund Street, luxury cars were parked in the parking lot, and a man and woman with a luxurious dress and elegant temperament walked towards the Qiulin auction.
Among them are Asian-Asian, some are blue-eyed Europeans, as well as bearded Middle Easterners, Russians, Americans, and so on.
These people are super-rich.
Some of them came sincerely for Van Gogh's "Sunflowers", and some just came to watch the fun. For example, the European rich come with sincerity.
And the Middle Eastern tyrants are here to see the excitement.
However, no matter what kind of purpose they came to, in short, there are many policemen on the Bund North Street today, and the entire North Street has entered a state of alert.
There are so many big tyrants from all over the world on the Bund, if something happens, it is a diplomatic event, and no one will slack off.
"The Bund is so lively today. ”
A silver Bentley drove into the parking lot, the door opened, and two beautiful women walked down, it was Lin Jia and Mai Nuo.
"yes! The wealthy in Europe, in particular, will never miss this "Sunflower". It seems that I can only watch the excitement when I come over today. ”
Lin Jia shook her head and said regretfully.
Mino helped her sunglasses, she only came today to identify one person, and she didn't care about the others.
"Mr. Du. ”
Lin Jia shouted with a smile not far away at this time.
Not far away, Du Hongchang, who had just gotten out of the car, turned his head to take a look and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, Miss Mai, you are also here, go in together?"
"Please. ”
Lin Jia invited.
"Haha, ladies first, please. ”
Du Hongchang laughed and walked into the auction house together.
……
Today's auction will be held in Hall 1 on the 3rd floor.
Hall 1, which can accommodate 500 people, has about 400 guests today, which is enough.
"Is it all arranged?"
In the chairman's office, Shi Lin asked Zhao Ying.
"It's all arranged, and a total of 30 lots will be auctioned today, all of which are carefully selected, and I believe the transaction price will not be too bad. Together with your 3 pieces and the finale, you can definitely take today's anniversary auction to the next level. ”
Zhao Ying said excitedly.
I really didn't expect that in addition to "Sunflowers", Shi Lin actually took out three more treasures, which was too surprising and too surprising.
But think about it, Shilin relied on picking up leaks and collecting to make his debut, and it is normal to have good goods in his hands.
"Let's go, let's go to Hall One. ”
Shi Lin smiled and walked towards the outside of the office.
Zhao Ying and Jiang Binghe hurriedly followed.
……
Coming to Hall 1, the auction is about to begin.
First of all, Stone Forest came to power.
Usually in auctions, Stone Forest does not come forward. But today is different, today is the company's third anniversary celebration, and as the chairman of the company, he naturally has to come out and go through the motions.
"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, first of all, welcome all of you. Today is the third anniversary celebration of our company, and for this reason, in today's auction, in addition to the "Sunflowers" by Vincent Willem van Gogh, there are also 3 pieces from my personal collection......"
Shi Lin smiled, looked at the audience, and said generously.
In the face of the super-rich from all over the world, there is no fear at all.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Everyone in the audience also applauded with great dignity.
"It's true, but it's not, why does it feel so familiar?"
Under the stage, Mai Nuo, who was sitting with Lin Jia in the front row, looked at the stone forest on the stage, shook his head, and sighed in disappointment.
Although the stone forest felt familiar to her.
But neither looks, nor figures, nor voices are alike, so she vetoed her conjecture.
"Okay, I'll just delay everyone's time, and I'll invite our auctioneer ......"
On the stage, Shi Lin made an opening remark and walked off the stage with applause.
Then, the auctioneer came to the stage.
The auctioneer, a man about 50 years old, walked up to the stage, bowed politely to the audience, and said, "First of all, thank you Mr. Shi for your emotion and take out your own treasure." Our first lot today is one of Mr. Shi's three collections, Mr. Qi Baishi's "Flowers and Birds". ”
As the auctioneer spoke, a hostess brought up a scroll.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of calligraphy and paintings appeared on the ultra-high-definition large screen of the auction hall.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the field was different.
In particular, the collectors of Huaxia were a little excited.
Surprise!
What a surprise!
Originally, he just planned to come over to see a lively Chinese tycoon, but they all started to think about it.
"This calligraphy and painting is called "Flowers and Birds", which was created by Mr. Qi in ......"
On the stage, the auctioneer introduced the calligraphy and painting very qualified, and showed the appraisal certificates of many institutions. Coupled with her wonderful tone and wonderful words, she attracted the rich people in the audience.
Many rich people can't help but want to raise their cards.
Seeing this, the auctioneer nodded with satisfaction.
He likes these excited rich people very much, and when they are excited, they will be excited to pay for it.
"The starting price of "Flowers and Birds" is 50 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 1 million each time. ”
The auctioneer shouted excitedly.
"51 million. ”
"55 million. ”
Someone immediately raised a sign to make an offer.
Then, the quoter rang out.
"Boss Xiaoshi gave us a surprise!"
Offstage, Du Hongchang said with a smile.
"Mr. Du, are you also interested in this painting?"
Lin Jia nodded.
"yes!"
Du Hongchang said with a smile: "Boss Xiaoshi hid it deep enough, if he took this painting to the party that day, there would not be so many things?"
Lin Jia smiled and said, "Perhaps, Boss Xiaoshi just wanted to take the finale to show off, but no one knew the goods and was mistaken for a fake." If today's finale is Qi Baishi's 'pine and cypress high litu seal script four words couplet', I am afraid it will be a different scene. ”
"Yes! ”
Du Hongchang nodded, 'Pine and Cypress Gaolitu, Seal Book Four Words Couplet' Zeng Ke sold for a sky-high price.
