Chapter 348: Auction (2)

Denise is not as optimistic as Lin Quan, in her opinion, the price of five rosewoods is 20 million euros, and one is 4 million euros, which is simply sky-high, no different from going to robbery!

Only a fool would buy it!

It's just that Denise thinks she's a fool, and today the auction house is very special. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"See, that old man with a white beard, with neatly combed hair, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses!

Lin Quan stretched out his hand and pointed at several people below, "Na, that bearded man with a turban, at first glance, he is a local tyrant from the Middle East, now that oil is so expensive, they will definitely not miss this kind of rare thing that is hard to find!"

"Over there, those East Asian faces seem to be Japanese, and there are a lot of invisible rich people among the Japanese, and they have always been stingy with their spending!"

"Those next to me should be our compatriots from China, they really have money and nowhere to spend it, what kind of money to spend on this rotten wood!"

Lin Quan hated that iron could not become steel, but Denise smiled and said: "You are quite interesting! You raise your hands in favor of others to spend money, and laugh at others as Kaizi, and your own compatriots come to spend money, you can't, what's the matter, people who want to harm other countries can't harm your own country's compatriots?"

Lin Quan said firmly: "Besides, doesn't your British Empire like colonization and plundering all over the world? Why don't you see yourself colonizing and plundering yourself?"

Denise gave him an angry look, thought for a while, and then said, "Why not? Ireland was colonized by England, even for us ordinary English, the government's colonization campaign has not stopped, you see, since the 17th century when mankind entered industrialization, we in England took the lead in launching the enclosure movement, and the enclosure movement used various means to seize the land in the hands of the peasants scattered in the countryside, so that they lost the land they relied on for their livelihood and had to move to the city to make a living, thus providing huge human resources for the early industrialization, isn't this considered exploitation? Isn't it colonization?

Lin Quan touched his chin, and what Denise said seemed to make some sense!

It seems that the British are cruel to others, and there is a tradition, they treat their own people so harshly, let alone others.

"In the seventeenth century, when the British Empire and the Netherlands broke out several Anglo-Dutch wars, London was too populous, so hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed and wounded, all of them died in the face of the ferocious plague, and later Ireland became independent, and Scotland became independent, and this is not all the price we paid!"

Denise saw that he was lost in thought, so he added: "The empire of the sun never sets is gone, and the British Empire is also gone, now that I think about it, maybe what I did at the beginning was too unreasonable and was retributed!"

At this moment, Lin Quan's eyes became strange when he looked at Denise, Heavenly Dao reincarnation, this should be the doctrine of Chinese Taoism, right?

"No, but I've been dealing with you for a long time, so I know a little bit!"

Denise is working hard to learn Chinese and Chinese culture, which Lin Quan knows, so it is not very strange that she knows a little bit of Taoism.

"By the way, Taoism is obviously your traditional culture, why was it used as a national flag by South Korea?"

What Denise said is obviously the Taiji flag, and at the mention of this, I am afraid that the hearts of many Chinese are angry.

"It's not that we have a good neighbor! A cosmic-level neighbor, even the earth is theirs, what is it to take a little bit of our traditional culture, you don't know that their history textbooks even mark the origin of our China as their descendants!"

Lin Quan snorted and said very dissatisfied, he really couldn't get better about his impression of a certain universe country.

At the auction site, Yuris sat in his place, frowning slightly.

The seats around him were full, with the secretary sitting next to him and his bodyguards next to him.

The crowd in the auction hall was beyond his expectations, and he didn't expect so many people to come.

"Hand me the list for auction today!"

Yuris was a little curious, what good things did Christie's get that attracted so many people?

Although the 2000 mahogany is very rare, and many people want it, it is impossible for so many people to come at once?

So Christie's must be auctioning something amazing today, otherwise it wouldn't have attracted so many people.

"Here you go, sir!"

The secretary hurriedly took out the catalogue from the briefcase and handed it to Yuris.

At this time, the people in the auction hall have basically arrived, and now there are still ten minutes before the official start, so everyone is idle and idle, many familiar people have begun to chat, and people who have come from other places have taken out the list distributed by the auction hall and began to look carefully.

The entire auction room was filled with a buzzing whisper, a cacophony of mixed sounds.

"Hey Nagran, you're here too, what kind of treasure did you fancy this time?"

"Joseph, it's you, it's a coincidence, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been messing up lately?"

"Did you hear that? They have an oil painting in the auction this time, and it's an oil painting by Van Gogh!"

"Really, why isn't it on this list?"

"I don't know, maybe it's to add to the mystery, or maybe they want to see the market and then auction it!"

Van Gogh has a lot of works, but not many have been handed down, because he was poor before, so many of his works were sold early and used as living expenses.

Most of his works are now preserved in museums in France and Switzerland, and very few of them are in the private sector.

In recent years, Van Gogh's works have rarely been seen in the market, most of them have been circulated in the folk after the genuine works, generally collected and will not be easily sold to the outside world, before the major auction houses have auctioned a lot of oil paintings, among which Van Gogh's oil paintings have set a record, which shows how popular his works are.

For people like Lin Quan, who can't tell the difference between Van Gogh's works and primary school students' graffiti, his works are worthless, and wiping their butts is too hard, but for collectors, for these things, they can go bankrupt and do whatever they want, so it is not surprising if Christie's really has Van Gogh's works in their hands and attracts so many people.
