……

“…… Lot 0311, Autumn Leaves of Huangshan by Lu Yanshao, size: 138*69.5cm, 8.6 sq. ft. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Seal: Lu Yanshao, Wanruo, the old home in the Baishan Mountains, Wanqingxuan, the age of Ding Mao seventy-nine. Title: The yellow leaves are full of frost, and the autumn mountains are far away. Ding Mao Jiuqiu, Lu Yanshao wrote in Wanqingxuan. This picture shows the strange mountains, rivers and clouds, which can be regarded as the masterpiece of Lu Lao's later years. The reserve price of the auction is 3 million, and each increase shall not be less than 10,000 Huaxia coins, and the bidding will start now!"

Listening to the sound of price increase from the communication terminal, Wang Lei took the phone and asked instead: "Boss, will we do it now?"

"Wait, there are too many bidders now!"

"Yes...... And our reserve price...?"

"There is no reserve price, we must take this painting!"

"I see!"

As the first lot that Guardian Auction House came up with to warm up, although "Autumn Leaves of Yellow Mountain" is Lu Yanshao's calligraphy and painting masterpiece, the price did not exceed 3 million and the estimate was too much, and Wang Lei, who made a move for Wang Zheng, won the first lot of Guardian Spring Auction with 3.85 million.

Immediately after Lu Yanshao's "Autumn Leaves of Yellow Mountain" is the landscape painting "Lakes and Mountains Qingji" by Huang Binhong, a grandmaster of landscape painting who is known as 'Southern Huang and Northern Qi' with Qi Baishi!

The double seal of 'Huang Binhong' and 'Huang Binhongyin' is the work of Huang Lao at the peak of his 88-year-old age. The only pity is that it is only 86., the size is small, and it is not a boutique in Huang Lao's works. Therefore, although Wang Zheng was greedy, he had no intention of making a move.

After all, in the spring auctions of more than a dozen large-scale auctions in China, there are many things that are more worthy of collection than it among the tens of thousands of lots. And the funds raised by Wang Zheng are only 2 billion.

It looks like a lot, but compared to the spring auction market, which is likely to exceed 20 billion, it is only a fraction!

Therefore, before participating in this auction, Wang Zheng had already decided that whether it was the current Guardian Spring Auction or the Sotheby's Spring Auction abroad, he would only buy high-quality products!

As for the ordinary lots, some of the small special auctions of Guardian, Poly and Sotheby's usually have enough lots for Wang Zheng to choose from. And the number of participants is small, and the competition is small!

However, although Wang Zheng gave up the bid for Huang Binhong's "Sunny Clouds and Mountains", there are many people who want to win this painting. The reserve price of 5.7 million yuan exceeded 6 million yuan in less than half a minute, and finally sold at a price of 6.48 million yuan! It was almost twice as much as Lu Yanshao's "Autumn Leaves of Yellow Mountain" that Wang Zheng had in hand.

However, when playing art collection, you should not only look at the price, but also pay attention to the richness of the collection. As a famous artist in the history of modern painting, Lu Yanshao will definitely not miss his painting Wang Zheng.

As for Huang Binhong, Wang Zheng wants to collect some better boutiques than "Lakes and Mountains".

Of course, only if the funds allow.

After Huang Binhong's paintings in the past, the third auction is No. 0582, Li Keran's "Xiangjiang Pavilion", which is the same as Huang Binhong's "Lakes and Mountains Qingji" just now, the size is not large, only, it is not a necessity for Wang Zheng.

Since then, more than a dozen works of modern and modern masters, Wang Zheng has started three, one of the representative of Wu Changshuo, one of the four masters of the Shanghai School in the late Qing Dynasty, "The Picture of the Qing Dynasty", with a size of 148., which can be called huge. Of course, it is worth a lot of money, and it cost Wang Zheng 12.8 million!

One of the famous artists of the 'Lingnan School', and Guan Shanyue, Li Xiongcai, and Zhao Shaoang, known as the "Four Masters of Lingnan" of modern calligraphy and painting Yang Shanshen's posthumous work "Beauty Walking", this is a work larger than Wu Changshuo's "Sui Chao Qing Confession", full of 75 However, Yang Shanshen's artistic achievements are not as good as Wu Changshuo, so the price of this masterpiece is not as good as "Sui Chaoqing Confession", and Wang Zheng took it for 6.8 million.

The last one with the highest price is the work of Mr. Daqian, a representative of modern Chinese painters, "Peach Garden Pine Chrysanthemum", the size is Mr. Daqian's masterpiece of copying the landscape of the late Wu Li of the Qing Dynasty. It took Wang Zheng 15 million to take it down.

"The next auction is Lot 0716, the masterpiece "Jinggang Mountain" by a famous modern calligrapher and painter, poet, and master Li Keran. The mountains depicted in the picture are verdant and lush, with a few red flags waving among the forests and hookahs, and the high-spirited spirit of revolutionary romanticism is permeated between the paintings, and this work is also one of the representative works of Chinese painting with the theme of red......!"

"It's finally here!"

Listening to the auctioneer's introduction, Wang Zheng's spirit immediately perked up. Not only him, but the atmosphere in the entire auction hall became hot.

This Chinese painting "Jinggang Mountain", which has a size of 181x129cm, can be called a palace-level work in Li Keran's life. Anyone who likes to collect is not willing to miss it, and Wang Zheng is certainly no exception.

Although he prefers to spend a large amount of money on those first-class artworks out of the psychology of completing the task of the Shennong System Museum. But he doesn't plan to miss Li Keran's "Jinggang Mountain" either. Because, there is no doubt that in a few years, this is also a work of art without a doubt.

However, Wang Zheng wants to take down this painting, and there are not a few people who pay the same attention as him. From the commotion at the auction site, it can be seen that there must be a fierce competition next.

"Master Li Keran's masterpiece "Jinggang Mountain", the reserve price is 35 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan each time, and the auction will start now!"

"36 million!"

"39 million!"

"40 million!"

Less than half a minute after the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the price of this Li Keran's palace-level work soared, from 35 million at the beginning, to 75.8 million that most people were afraid of!

Looking at the bidding that had slowed down, Wang Lei said on the side: "Boss, are we going to make a move?"

"Wait!"

Wang Zheng's eyes were shining, staring at the screen tightly. At this time, there are still six or seven bidders, and it is too early to add them! Many really big customers have not yet started.

"90 million!"

"Guest No. 2489 bid 90 million, is there anything higher?"

Perhaps this price exceeded the price in the hearts of most people, so after the auctioneer shouted, no one raised the sign for three or four seconds.

Looking at the situation, Wang Zheng smiled slightly, "Wang Lei, 92 million!"

"Yes!"

Wang Lei, who was shocked, hurriedly picked up the phone and passed his offer to the telephone service staff of Guardian Auction House in the capital.

Soon, Wang Zheng saw a young man in a black suit sitting on both sides, hurriedly put down the phone, stood up and said loudly: "Telephone customer No. 1886, bid 92 million!"

Before he could sit down, he saw another young man on the opposite side who served the unknown rich man stand up, "Telephone customer No. 2698, bid 92.8 million!"

"Wang Lei, 93.5 million!" Wang Zheng immediately said.

"Yes!"

"Telephone customer No. 1886, bid 93.5 million!"

"93.5 million, the customer bid 93.5 million on the phone number 1886, is there anything higher?"

"Telephone customer No. 2698, bid 95 million!"

"Wang Lei, 96 million!"

"Yes!"

However, this No. 2698 rich man who competes with Wang Zheng is also a master who does not give up, as soon as Wang Zheng's offer of 96 million came out, in less than five seconds, the other party raised the price to 97 million!

"Boss?"

Staring at the picture on the virtual display screen, Wang Zheng thought for a while, "Let's give 100 million!"

"The customer of No. 1886 bid 100 million Huaxia yuan!"

"Whoa......!"

As soon as Wang Zheng's offer came out, not only the auctioneers on the stage were excited, but even the nearly 200 people in the audience who participated in the auction were also excited. However, it is understandable, after all, this is the first lot that has exceeded 100 million yuan since Guardian Spring.

"Telephone customer No. 2698, bid 100.5 million!"

"Huh?!"

Wang Zheng was slightly stunned, "It seems that this person is really persistent!"

Everyone is bidding by phone, and no one can see anyone, so there are no personal grudges. After he bid 100 million yuan, he still chased after him, and it was obvious that the No. 2698 rich man also liked this masterpiece of Li Keran's "Jinggang Mountain".

"In that case, let's fight whose waist bag is thicker...... Wang Lei, 110 million!"

Wang Zheng was too lazy to add hundreds of thousands to the other party, add one million, and directly add ten million, just to show his determination to win.

Not surprisingly, Wang Zheng's bid price of 110 million yuan once again attracted an exclamation from the auction hall.

also made No. 2698 half-ringing and did not move.

"Boss, it seems that the other party has given up!"

"Don't be too happy!" Wang Zheng shook his head, his eyes fixed on the young man on the monitor with a nervous face, holding the phone tightly to his ear. After seeing a hint of joy in the other party's eyes, Wang Zheng chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, I heard the other party stand up again, "The customer on phone number 2698 bids 115 million!"

"Boss?"

"120 million!"

"Yes, 120 million!"

"Telephone number 1886 customer bid 120 million, is there anything higher?" shouted the auctioneer with excitement on his face. In the last auction of the morning of the Guardian Spring Auction 'Grand View Night' calligraphy and painting auction, if he can fetch a sky-high price, he will not only be able to lay the foundation for the afternoon auction, but also he will personally get a lot of bonuses. Therefore, the auctioneer at this moment is trying his best.

"Telephone number 2698 customer bids 125 million!"

Wang Zheng's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect the other party's determination to be so firm. At such a high price, it is still in hot pursuit.

"Boss, are we still following?"

"Yes, there are not many auctions that we are aiming to get in this Guardian Spring Auction, and this Li Keran's "Jinggang Mountain" is one of them!

"Yes!"

"Bid 130 million!"

"130 million, 1886 phone customer bid 130 million, is there anything higher?"

At this time, whether it was Wang Zheng, who was far away in Hanzhong, or the nearly two hundred customers in the auction hall, their eyes were focused on the young man holding the phone representing the mysterious rich man No. 2698.

After a short time, I saw a frustration on this person's face and put down the phone.

At this time, Wang Zheng finally let out a long sigh in his heart. Although the final price of this painting was a little beyond his expectations, fortunately, he won it without any danger. (To be continued.) )
