Chapter 257: Invisible Pretending
"If you have money, you can do whatever you want. Li Yue smiled.
Principal Wang very much agreed with Li Yue's point of view and replied: "People only live once, just be happy and casual, do what your heart wants, and be fearless of things." The happiness that money can buy is not a problem. ”
"Fellow travelers. Li Yue said.
"It's still too late to see each other, you can get a base. Zhao Yingbao said, she really couldn't stand it, and the people who pretended to be forced all got together.
Wang Keke looked at this scene and giggled. Other local tyrants have threatened: "To be high-profile, to pretend to be forced, to support things, today's auction is our home field." ”
…….
After lunch and lunch breaks, it was almost time for the Poly Autumn Auction to begin, and at this time, the people participating in the auction began to enter one after another.
When President Wang, Zhao Yingbao, Li Yue and others entered the venue, they attracted the attention of most people, not only because there were celebrities among them, but also because they swore the idea of "Twelve Screens of Landscape".
But what they didn't expect was that their group had bigger plans.
…..
Many of the people who entered the audience were older than Li Yue, but their faces looked very gentle, and at a glance, they knew that they were successful men who had experienced the ups and downs of society.
Compared with Li Yue, President Wang and others are young and vigorous, they have a much calmer mentality, and they are more favored by Chinese classic calligraphy, paintings, and artworks.
They also have the financial strength to pay for their liking, maybe they are not as famous as Principal Wang, but many low-key tycoons often spend a lot of money on what they like.
……..
After Li Yue and the others sat down, they became the focus of countless eyes when they entered the venue again, and three foreign friends, two of whom were big men centered on a young man, and they knew that they were bodyguards at a glance.
The young man has very different characteristics from the Chinese people, with a distinct beard and complexion, and godly eyes, so that Li Yue knew that this was an Arab at the first glance.
Looking at his aristocratic temperament and everyone's reactions, Li Yue knew that this was the prince of the United Arab Emirates, that is, the person who expressed his interest in "Twelve Screens of Landscape".
……
The UAE is an oil-rich desert country known as the "flower of the desert". So this is a rich country, just take the UAE prince to shoot Leonardo D'Arnardo Dam, you can know how proud they are.
The UAE may be relatively unfamiliar to everyone, but the most populous and largest city in the country, and the economic and financial center of the Middle East, you must have heard of Dubai, which is rumored to be a god, a city that can get rich by picking up garbage, and is the only seven-star hotel in the world, Burj Al Arab.
……..
The auction took place in one of the largest halls of the Poly International Center, which was richly decorated with crystal chandeliers. The guests attending the auction sat in the middle of the hall, and at the front of the hall sat a long table and a few chairs sat young girls working in neat work uniforms, presumably needing to record some information and copywriting during the auction.
Of course, there is also a podium with a falling hammer, and the auctioneer standing next to it is not the beauty Li Yue imagined, but a middle-aged and elderly man who seems to have a cultural background.
There is a large projection on the wall in front of the middle-aged and elderly man, which is used to show the things of each auction. At this time, the auction has not officially started, only the 12th anniversary autumn auction of Poly (Capital).
……
After a while, the people who participated in the auction were almost all there, and it was time for the auction to begin.
In the words of official congratulations and thanks from the middle-aged and elderly men of the auctioneer, this grand auction finally kicked off.
It is believed that the auction with "Twelve Screens of Landscape" will become a peak and turning point for Poly Auction.
…..
"Finally, I would like to tell you that my name is Hong Zhong, and let me take you through the visual feast of Chinese art through the past and the present. Hong Zhong, a middle-aged and elderly man, said.
"Everyone knows that the finale of our auction is Qi Baishi's "Twelve Screens of Landscape", then our opening is Qi Baishi's teacher Wu Changshuo's "Twelve Screens of Flowers". After Hong Zhong's voice was full of anger, there were 12 screens of paintings of peonies, narcissus, pomegranates, lotus, pine, plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum, orchid, wisteria, magnolia, and cabbage on the projection screen.
This is the work of Mr. Wu Changshuo's mature technology, and his skills have been perfected, and this "Twelve Screens of Flowers" can be said to be flawless, and it is also the largest surviving work of Mr. Wu Changshuo.
I believe everyone has visited it before, and the value of this painting should be clear, so I will not describe it cumbersomely, the starting price is 100 million, and the bidding will start now. The voice of the middle-aged and elderly man Hong Zhong passed through the microphone, and it was really like a loud bell, ringing in everyone's ears.
…..
The people who came to participate in the auction were not calm at this time, they did not expect that the opening of the auction was such a heavyweight work, with a starting price of 100 million.
…….
Together with Li Yue, there were several rich second generations who said bluntly: "I can't afford to provoke, I can't afford to provoke, although I also want to coax, but I can't take out so much money at all." ”
"A big guy like the principal can easily control it, after all, he was given 500 million pocket money casually, and he made a lot of money by investing himself. ”
"120 million~" Just when these people were still discussing, Brother Wonderful made a direct offer.
"There are still low-key bosses, worthy of being men who can control Koenigsegg ONE1. ”
"Where is it low-key, the price of 120 million is still low-key, like I don't dare to participate in the auction, is it low-key, is it good, Brother Wonderful has become the focus of attention, this is called invisible pretense. ”
Prince Ting smiled: "I'll also participate in the auction, anyway, don't you want to do something, just let the focus of attention come a little more~"
"140 million~" Prince Ting opened his mouth to quote after speaking, and directly increased 20 million on the basis of Brother Wonderful, which was shocking, as if money was paper.
……
Sure enough, after the two of them made quotations in the same direction in a row, Li Yue, the small circle of the principal became the focus again, making people talk in a whisper.
Of course, Wu Changshuo's "Twelve Screens of Flowers" is still very influential, in the eyes of many people, it is 140 million, and it cannot reflect the value of this masterpiece.
This set of paintings has been auctioned for nearly 20 million at an auction for more than ten years, so 140 million auctioned to "Twelve Screens of Flowers" can definitely make a profit, after all, the craze of artworks is surging, and it is normal for the value of Shengshi artworks to increase significantly.
