Chapter 283: Spending Huge Sums of Money (Chapter 4)
……
"Guest No. 1668 bid 225.8 million, is there anything higher?"
Seeing that the customer on phone No. 1668 who had previously won the 'Qian Yu Handscroll' made another move, the people in the auction hall immediately began to discuss, speculating about the identity of this mysterious and wealthy bidder. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Wang Zheng, did you make a move?"
Others need to guess, but Wang Ying knows who the person represented by the number 1668 is!
"Uh-huh!
"Tsk, it seems that you kid really likes art collecting. More than 200 million yuan was spent, and you didn't blink your eyes! However, counting Li Keran's masterpiece "Jinggang Mountain" the day before yesterday and the "Qian Yu Handscroll" just now, you have spent a small 300 million! If you can successfully win the current Pan Tianshou's masterpiece "Eagle Rock Mountain Flower Picture", which is almost 500 million, where will you get so much money?"
"Naturally, my money comes from. And don't steal, don't rob, clean!"
"You're mistaken, that's not what I meant!"
"No need to explain, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I'm not angry! As for the source of my money, I won't say much about it here. It is estimated that after this auction, there will be countless media to dig deep into my family's background, and you can read it from the newspaper when the time comes!
"That's right! A giant crocodile comparable to 'Liu Qianyi' suddenly appeared in the collecting world, not to mention the news media, even the people who eat melons want to bring out your 'human flesh'! This time there is a good show to watch!" Finally, Wang Ying's tone became excited and expectant.
"What's the matter, you're just expecting someone to 'dox' me?"
"Of course, I'm 'not a big deal to watch the excitement' now, who told you to buy all the good things I fancy with this big money! It just makes outsiders breathe a sigh of relief for me!" Wang Ying said confidently.
"Boss, are we still bidding?"
Wang Qian interjected with a serious expression.
At this time, the price of Pan Tianshou's collection-level "Eagle Rock Mountain Flower Picture" has reached 240 million!
"Keep adding, Qianzi, we are determined to get this painting!" Wang Zheng said in a firm tone.
Pan Tianshou, the word Dayi, a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Wu Changshuo, a beginner in freehand flowers and birds, later learned from Shi Tao and Bada Shanren, and served as vice chairman of the Chinese Artists Association and president of ZJ Academy of Fine Arts. He was a deputy to the First, Second and Third National People's Congress, a member of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and in 1958 he was appointed an honorary member of the USSR Academy of Arts. He is the author of "History of Chinese Painting" and "Essays on Painting in Tiange". He was a well-known painter and educator.
And this "Eagle Rock Mountain Flower Picture" is a representative work of Pan-style flower and bird painting, and it is also his pinnacle work. For any painter, among the thousands of paintings in his life, there are not many that can be called masterpieces, and each one is a masterpiece worth a thousand gold. In many cases, after being acquired, such fine paintings will not appear on the market for more than ten years, or even longer. If you encounter it, and you have plenty of money, you must buy it and collect it carefully.
What can be met is that a fine painting like this will only appreciate in value over time, not depreciate. Unless there is really an unsolvable difficulty. Otherwise, no one will sell.
Now Wang Zheng has this kind of thought, and he never intends to let go of this collection-level masterpiece of Pan Tianshou, a master of modern Chinese painting.
Only such heavyweight collections can increase the fame of Taoyuan Mountain Resort Museum and attract more people to visit!
"243 million, Wang Zheng, you are so generous!"
Ignoring Wang Ying's ridicule on the phone, Wang Zheng's eyes were glued to the display screen, until the auctioneer dropped three hammers, and after the pinnacle of Pan-style flowers and birds "Eagle Rock Mountain Flowers" fell into the bag, Wang Zheng let out a heavy breath, fell backwards, and leaned softly on the back of the sofa.
Although there were some accidents in the middle, he participated in the Guardian Spring Auction this time, and the lots he wanted to win were basically in hand!
"Congratulations, congratulations, you've succeeded again this time!"
"Congratulations, forget it. 243 million, plus 279.45 million commissions, it's enough for me to hurt for a while!"
"Pretend, you pretend! Now your kid probably has his back molars exposed!
"You know and ask! Forget it, I'm hanging. There's a lot to attend to here!"
"Okay, hang up! The auction is over, I should go back too!Oh, by the way, I'm going to your place in the middle of next month, remember to clean up my house!"
"Don't worry, your yard is cleaned every day to ensure that it is spotless!"
"That's good, hang up!"
Putting down the phone, Wang Zheng received several more text messages, the sender was Wang Nanyan, and the content was some congratulatory words.
After a brief reply, Wang Zheng saw that it was not early, and the Guardian 'Grand View Night' auction had also ended. Simply let Wang Qian close the terminal and go back to rest.
……
The next day, Wang Zheng still got up a little late. But there is nothing to do today, and there is still a week before the next Kuang Shichun auction that is worthy of his attention. The spring auctions of some small auctions in the middle can be handed over to Wang Lei to be in charge. The small auction has little competition, and the lot price is not high, which is just right to supplement the second and third level of antiques. As for the fine goods, it is better to buy them from the big auctions such as Guardian, Hanhai, Poly and Kuangshi.
"Boss!"
"Wang Lei is here, come and sit!"
"Thank you boss!"
"Have you had breakfast?"
"I've already eaten it!"
"Is there something wrong with coming to me so early?"
"Boss, please look!" As he spoke, Wang Lei took out his tablet from his briefcase, clicked on it and found the homepage of Sina News!
Wang Zheng took it and took a look, only to see that it was written in eye-catching black font on it, 'The mysterious phone buyer was surprised to see the Guardian Spring Auction, and he bought 700 million Huaxia coins to cover half of the boutiques!'
After clicking on it, there is a detailed editorial, which contains a list of all the collections worth more than 10 million that Wang Zheng Jiade acquired at the spring auction!
"Now most of the domestic online media and print media are forwarding this news!" Wang Lei opened the news section of several other websites for Wang Zheng in a row, and sure enough, he could see similar reports.
"I've thought of this for a long time!" Wang Zheng said with a smile after a brief glance.
"Oh, by the way, we paid $180 million for Picasso's Les Les Demos in Algiers, the highest price ever paid at auction for an art in the world, why haven't we seen reports of that?"
"There have been a lot of reports about us in the world for a long time, but because the top foreign social media platforms Facebook and Google are restricted in China, they have not yet spread. Look at this!"
Wang Lei clicked on the homepage of Phoenix Information, and there was a press release in a prominent position, and the title was also full of temptation for people to click subconsciously!
"He's from China!"
As soon as I opened it, the first thing that caught my eye was a photo of Wang Zheng, and then some introductions about him. Although it is still very simple, it is rare for these foreign media to find him these news!
After reading it a little bit, Wang Zheng thought about it for a while, "Mastermind?"
"Master, what do you command?"
"Modify or delete all the photos of me that appear on all the online media now! In addition, make a copy of my encyclopedic knowledge, hide the private family situation, and focus on the various subsidiaries and main products of our Taoyuan Villa, which should be more detailed!"
"Understood!"
"Also, in the future, you will be responsible for monitoring the global Internet network, but all comments, messages, and press releases that involve my private family and destroy my private reputation must be deleted as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
"Alright, that's all!
The virtual human body formed by the neuronal main brain nodded and dissipated into the air.
Wang Zheng sighed, he wanted to use this large-scale auction to completely start the fame of Taoyuan Villa, but he didn't want to turn himself into a monkey under the microscope.
If you go there, you will be like those movie stars, there will be a large number of onlookers. There is no life that belongs to his private life, Wang Zheng is really unimaginable.
Moreover, he doesn't want to be someone else's after-dinner conversation.
The efficiency of the neuronal masterbrain was very high, and in less than a minute after Wang Zheng finished commanding, all the photos involving him were modified. Except for people who are very familiar with themselves, ordinary people can't tell that it is him Wang Zheng even if they are face-to-face. Instead of the photos on the encyclopedia, all Wang Zheng's avatars and pictures on major websites were forcibly deleted by the neuronal mastermind.
After flipping through a few websites, there are no more photos of himself, and the introduction of himself has become scarce, but the introduction of the subsidiaries of Taoyuan Group is detailed, Wang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Wang Lei, if someone interviews me, you come forward for me! There is no need to hide our participation in the auction!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, Wang Lei, how much surplus will the villa generate in a week?"
"Boss, I can't give you an accurate answer now. After all, both the 'Taoyuan Ji' and the various projects under our villa are in a stage of rapid development, and there is no historical data to refer to!"
"I know, you don't have to tell me too precise numbers, just a conservative estimate!"
"150 million!"
"150 million? Is there so many?"
"Of course, and the number is already very conservative!"
"Then tell me specifically, how do you calculate this number!"
"Okay! In addition to Baiweiju and Taoyuan Farm, there are four main parts that can provide revenue for the villa, 'Taoyuan Ji Food', 'Taoyuan Fishery', 'Taoyuan High-end Consumer Goods', and 'Mountain Villa Tourism Project Income'!"
"Taoyuan Ji is mainly fruits, beef, mutton and the boss's new 'monkey drunk'! This is still the bulk of our villa's income. It is expected that the revenue in June can be close to 600 million. Because of the tax cut, we can pay nearly 20 million less taxes. And the weekly surplus will be around 110 million. (To be continued.) )
