Stein is very unwilling, but what's the use, if this thing is not filmed, should it be kept?

He gritted his teeth and said to the auctioneer: "Go, sue those people below, the reserve price is 20 million pounds, I don't believe it, no one really wants it?"

The auctioneer walked out, revised the reserve price, and then looked at the people below, waiting for someone to make an offer, he really didn't have the ability of Jason Ben, otherwise, someone would have already made a bid by this time.

"What? You say the maximum price for this painting is 20 million pounds?"

Suddenly, Zhang Tianyuan's voice sounded in the auction hall again, he felt that 20 million pounds could be won, because his psychological price was different from other people's psychological price.

"Boss, I didn't ...... anything"

"It's nothing, you just went to the toilet, did you overhear something, did Professor John Lampard say the maximum price of 20 million pounds?"

Lancelot wondered at first, what his boss suddenly yelled at him, but when he heard this, he saw his boss squeezing his eyes at him, and he immediately understood.

So he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, boss, I just accidentally heard it, Professor Lampard did say it." ”

He just went to the toilet or Zhang Tianyuan urged him to go, he believed that his boss must have some conspiracy.

In fact, he was right, Zhang Tianyuan had just heard the conversation between John and Stein through his keen hearing, his hearing had been strengthened by the earth's qi, and eavesdropping was not a problem, but he didn't bother to do it on weekdays.

"Professor Frank Lampard. Did you really say that?" Zhang Tianyuan asked in surprise as he looked at John Lampard.

John Lampard was a bit frustrated. But he nodded, as for what he meant by this nod. There is no need to explain, anyway, he didn't take any money from the Stein family, there is no reason for others to hear about it, and he still keeps it a secret for the Stein family.

"Husband, why don't we just buy it reluctantly, there should be better things in the back, let everyone save money, don't waste money on this." Liu Mengxun's words were not taught by Zhang Tianyuan, they were said by her on a whim.

And she didn't plan to cooperate with Zhang Tianyuan. It's just that she really thinks so, she knows that Zhang Tianyuan has a lot of spare money, and she knows how to restore ancient paintings, so she won't suffer a loss if she takes it for about 20 million pounds, and if someone else buys it, it is estimated that there will be no money after 20 million pounds.

She's so kind.

Zhang Tianyuan really felt like hugging Liu Mengxun and kissing him fiercely at this time, but he still kept his calm, sighed and said: "Although that is the case, you can't help but look down on other buyers." We have a little spare money, but others have it. ”

"Mr. Zhang, although we have a good relationship, I still have to say one thing. There was no one present but you who could have bought the painting. Your Shinraku Art Museum should have already been applied, and it covers an area of nearly 200,000 square meters. It's the museum base near the national television station, and the painting is placed there. If you want to see it, you can go and see it. Wang Zhengjun felt that his opportunity to help had come, so he also stood up and talked eloquently.

"I said Zhang boy, don't ink, buy it quickly, where is so much nonsense. Wang Siyuan's father also said loudly.

"That girl is Mr. Zhang's wife, she is right, 20 million pounds is not a small amount, we can't spend this unjust money for this ruined painting, there are many lots below." ”

"Well, that girl is the daughter of the Liu family, the granddaughter of the old man Liu Sansheng. I think she's right. ”

Stan's face was very ugly, but he hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't have the idea of retracting the painting, because if it was withdrawn, it would really be a pile of rotten paper, and if it was sold, it would be 20 million pounds, which is definitely not a small amount!

"Ladies and gentlemen, if the auction is not like this, do you really want to see this painting in the hands of someone else?

The auctioneer is still making the last effort, although he may already know that it is in vain, but there is no way, if he collects other people's money, he has to do it for others to the end.

"Appreciation? That painting is like that, you still want to appreciate it? I think in a little while, it will probably be worthless. ”

Painting is not the same as ceramics, as long as the ceramics are not broken, the longer the time, the more valuable it may be, but this painting will be broken after a long time, otherwise, how can the authenticity of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty not be handed down, but his copy of the Tang Dynasty was regarded as a national treasure?

Now that the paintings are like that, who has the heart to spend a lot of money on maintenance, don't take the businessman for a fool. If it's just about patriotism, things are taken away by Zhang Tianyuan, and they can also return to China, so why should they fight for it?

The auctioneer smiled bitterly awkwardly, he knew that his efforts were in vain, and it was no fun to continue tossing like this, anyway, the boss had already approved it, so he would just sell it to that person, alas, if he had known, how good it would have been sold directly for 60 million pounds just now, and he had to find a professor to come up and pretend to be forced, and now it's okay, 60 million has suddenly become 20 million, which is too wrong.

"Sir, are you willing to spend twenty million pounds on this painting?" the auctioneer asked Zhang Tianyuan cautiously.

Zhang Tianyuan looked at the audience and arched his hand and said: "Most of the people here are my elders and seniors, I can't compete with you, if someone wants 20 million pounds, I won't bid, to be honest, the younger generation also wants to keep the money to see if there is anything better below." ”

"Shoot, boy, leave us alone. ”

"Yes, make a bid. ”

"You are a capable person. ”

"Haha, boy, don't bother, others don't know, I don't know you yet, you kid has a lot of spare money, your plane is the most expensive in the world, don't pretend to be poor." Wang Siyuan's father said this very politely. But it is obviously thick and fine, and this is helping Zhang Tianyuan.

His meaning was clear. Whoever competes with Zhang Tianyuan can't fight. So instead of letting foreign devils take advantage, it's better to let it out.

"Well, since the elders and seniors love you so much, the younger generations will be ashamed. I'll give twenty million pounds. Zhang Tianyuan didn't continue to lower the price, because he felt that it was unnecessary, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

To be honest, in fact, what he just said is true, anyone can buy this painting, as long as the Chinese buy it back to China. He doesn't care, maybe he can get it for less money in China in the future.

"Okay, then congratulations to this gentleman, this great "Luo Shen Fu Tu" belongs to you, congratulations on obtaining a national treasure for 20 million pounds!"

"National treasure, what kind of look has this painting been ruined by you, and is it a national treasure?" Zhang Tianyuan scolded angrily.

"Boss Zhang, let's meet again, what you just said really made me feel like an enlightenment. It's really shocking, these foreign devils, there is no good thing. ”

When Zhang Tianyuan sat back in his seat, a man in the back row who looked to be about thirty years old smiled and patted Zhang Tianyuan on the shoulder and said.

Zhang Tianyuan was stunned for a moment. I didn't recognize who this person was, he had seen so many people, especially in the past year. He has been to Burma, to Hong Kong, to Treasure Island, and to the high seas. He has seen many people of status, but the problem is that he can't know them all. It's impossible to remember them all.

Even if he can't remember it, he has to be willing to remember it, and if he doesn't remember it at the time, then how can he remember it.

"It turned out to be Uncle He, hehe, I didn't even see you sitting behind us just now. At this time, Liu Mengxun shouted first.

"Mengmeng, don't call me Uncle He, call me Brother He, I'm only ten years older than you, call my uncle old." The man said with a smile.

"Ah, it turned out to be Brother He, you also came to London this time? Why didn't you inform me in advance?" Zhang Tianyuan actually didn't remember who this person was, but he couldn't make people too embarrassed, so he pretended to think about it, anyway, until the surname He was an acquaintance.

The surnamed He waved his hand and said: "Boss Zhang, you are a busy man, since the farewell on the high seas, I have been paying attention to you, amazing, really amazing, I didn't know before, there is such a great young man in the mainland, even my old lady has lost his eyes, you are the real Longteng Deep Sea." ”

On the high seas?

This guy is also surnamed He, could it be from Stanley Ho's family?

"Mr. He, he's okay?"

"It's still like that, alas, every day is not as good as a day, no matter how majestic you used to be, once you get old, you are a poor man. The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.

"I don't know what Brother He is called?" the name could be asked, because he certainly didn't know the name of this man on the high seas before.

"Oh, my name is He Chong, if you don't dislike it, call me Brother Chong, this time I came to London to bid for antiques instead of the old lady, the old lady has never forgotten jì, there are still many antiques outside in China, he has been committed to buying these things back to China all his life, and now that he is old, he really can't afford to toss, so I will do this kind of small thing for him. ”

"Then Brother He didn't say it earlier, if Mr. He wanted it, this painting must be given to Mr. He. Zhang Tianyuan is not modest, he really has this meaning, because he knows that although Stanley Ho has many shortcomings, there is one thing that is very admirable, that is, he has really done a few things that make people in the collector world happy, and several bronze beast capitals were auctioned back by him.

"No, no, Boss Zhang, you are too humble, when the things are in your hands, I am also relieved, I believe that the old lady will also be relieved." He Chong shook his head and said, "But I just heard Mr. Wang Zhengjun say that you have applied for a museum, is there really such a thing?"

"Of course, there will be no leave, and I also asked Mr. Wang to be the first director of my museum. Zhang Tianyuan nodded. (To be continued......)
