PS: Thank you for the support of the two monthly passes of the book friend 'yanxiaojun', thank you very much!

Chapter 640 Calligraphy and Painting Special ...... "1.18 million, Mr. 239 bid 1.18 million, is there anything higher?"

The auctioneer's incitement did not have any effect, and for this Chen Shaomei's "Coats Lotus Appreciation Picture", the price of 1.18 million has basically reached the top!

"1.18 million once, 1.18 million twice, 1.18 million for the third time, congratulations to Mr. No. 239 for winning Mr. Chen Shaomei's authentic work "Coats Lotus Appreciation Picture"!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although 1.18 million was just a drop in the bucket for him, but this kind of bidding atmosphere could easily make people nervous.

"Xiaodong, I didn't expect you to gain something when you first came!"

Zhou Bin said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Zhou, you know that I am interested in antiques, especially fine products, but I will not let go as long as I have the opportunity!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bin nodded, he knew about Liu Dong's reconstruction plan for the Old Summer Palace Museum, so it was not strange what Liu Dong said.

"But with you who is not bad at money to compete, I'm afraid I won't gain anything from this auction!"

Zhou Bin said with a smile.

"Brother Zhou is strict, now I am the one who wants to borrow money from President Gu, and I don't have much money in my hand!"

Hearing the two talk about themselves, Gu Zhichun just smiled and didn't say anything!

Although he is the president of ICBC, his annual income is not much, and he is more invited by Zhou Bin to come here, of course, he also likes antiques, so if he meets something he likes, and the price is not too expensive.

He planned to buy one or two pieces, but like the millions of fine products just now, Gu Zhichun was powerless!

At this time, the second lot also appeared on the big screen in the center.

"Mr. Huang Binhong's "Songxue Poetry Intent", the reserve price is 2.5 million, and the minimum price increase shall not be less than 50,000. Interested parties are invited to bid now!"

As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, the atmosphere in the hall had become hot, and those who could sit here naturally knew something about this Chinese painting that was inseparable from Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi in the history of modern Chinese painting.

It's just that I didn't expect the auctioneer to take out this painting right now.

However, the small surprise did not affect the enthusiasm of everyone to bid for this work, and in less than two minutes, the price of this fine painting by Master Huang Binhong skyrocketed.

Soon it was 4.5 million.

Next, the price of the painting continues to climb, but it is undoubtedly much slower than before!

"Xiaodong, you still don't make a move?"

Zhou Bin said with a smile.

"Don't worry now, Master Binhong's boutique will definitely exceed 6 million. It's just a waste of saliva to open your mouth now!"

Zhou Bin nodded, compared with Chen Shaomei, Huang Binhong's position in the history of painting is undoubtedly much more important, and this long-lived master of Chinese painting, his paintings have always been the main force of domestic auction houses, whether it is a small fan, or a large boutique, the price is the top of modern painters.

Judging from previous auctions.

If you want to win this "Song Xue Poetry Intent", it will be at least more than 6 million!

If there are many competitors, tens of millions are not unusual.

So now.

Most of the people who have the strength to eat this painting are just like Liu Dong and are waiting!

"6.8 million, 6.8 million, is there anything higher?"

"It's almost time!"

Seeing that the bidding began to slow down, Liu Dong raised the bidding sign in his hand.

"6.85 million, Mr. 239 bid 6.85 million, is there anything higher?"

Because Liu Dong took the relationship of Chen Shaomei's "Coats Appreciation Lotus".

Most of the people in the auction hall had some impression of Liu Dong, and at this moment, they saw him raise his card again.

The eyes that gathered towards Liu Dong became more and more.

But in the past year, after experiencing many such scenes.

Becoming the center of everyone's attention has allowed Liu Dong to deal with it calmly!

After noticing his changes, Zhou Bin on the side couldn't help but nod secretly, now his little brother is becoming more and more mature and stable!

And Liu Dong's confident expression also surprised Gu Zhichun, who originally thought that the other party was young and a little contemptuous, and at the same time, he gradually became curious about the young man introduced by Zhou Bin.

Liu Dong didn't know the change in his impression in the hearts of Zhou Bin and Gu Zhichun, and at this moment his attention was all on the competition for Huang Binhong's "Song Xue Poetic Intent".

"7.6 million, Mr. 239 bid 7.6 million, is there anything higher?"

After the auctioneer asked three times and no one bid again, the hammer fell with a bang, 7.6 million, and this authentic painting of Huang Binhong fell into Liu Dong's hands.

And after a short period of joy, Liu Dong also has some questions, 7.6 million compared to this Huang Binhong's authentic handiwork, although it also exceeds the general market price, but there must be a gap between the market price and the auction price, originally he thought that this "Songxue Poetry Intent" would at least reach a high price of more than 8 million, but at this moment, 7.6 million was easily won by him?

"Brother Zhou, I'm afraid that the finale of today's calligraphy and painting special is not ordinary, right?"

Liu Dong asked instead.

Because he came in a hurry, Liu Dong was blind to the lots in this Guardian Spring Auction, and he didn't know what was behind it, so he had no choice but to ask Zhou Bin for help!

"See?"

"Well, this is the real work of Chen Shaomei and Huang Binhong, if there is something better later, no auction house will arrange it like this, and although everyone's enthusiasm for bidding is high, they are obviously a little hesitant when bidding in the end!"

Liu Dong thought for a while and said.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to observe quite carefully!"

As he spoke, Zhou Bin handed the album in his hand to Liu Dong, "Take a look, there are a lot of good things in this auction!"

Curious, Liu Dong was not polite, but after it really read it, his face couldn't help but be surprised, on the thick brochure, there are more than 300 pieces of calligraphy and painting works, in addition to Chen Shaomei, Wu Changshuo, Huang Binhong, these works of modern Chinese painting, like one of the four monks of the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Qi, Shi Tao, one of the four kings Wang Shimin, and Dong Qichang, Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Meng, one of the four Yuan families of the Yuan Dynasty, and of course the indispensable finale - the originator of the Southern School of landscape painting, the fifth generation of Southern Tang Dynasty painter Dong Yuan's "Longsu Suburb Map"!

Only more than 70 paintings from the Ming and Qing dynasties appeared in this Guardian Spring Auction, and there were 9 ancient paintings and calligraphy from the Yuan Dynasty and before the Yuan Dynasty.

Any of these 9 paintings is worthy of national first-class cultural relics!

With so many good things, it's no wonder that although the people participating in the auction are optimistic about Master Huang Binhong's authentic works, most of them are superficial!

It turned out that they kept their money and prepared to compete for more precious calligraphy and paintings in the back!

"How about Xiaodong, the things in the back are very good, right?"

Seeing Liu Dong's excited expression, Zhou Bin next to him couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"It's really good, if it weren't for the fear of offending people. I'd love to wrap it all up!"

Liu Dong said excitedly.

"You don't have to worry about offending people, everyone competes fairly, and no one will say anything, but the value of these more than 300 paintings and calligraphy is not low, and the conservative estimate is that the value is more than 200 million! Do you still have so much money on you now?"

Zhou Bin's words.

Like a basin of cold water, it suddenly extinguished the flame of excitement in Liu Dong's heart.

Indeed, in addition to going to the Netherlands in June because of the Quancheng Collection Association, Liu Dong set aside 20 million euros to win back from Myanmar, in addition to buying gambling stones and investing in courtyard houses, the remaining 300 million euros, plus 2 from Han Shizhong.

500 million US dollars, basically all invested in the plan of acquiring Han's Jewelry!

If it weren't for this time.

The people of the Quancheng Jade Association successively handed over the 5% commission promised by Liu Dong when he gambled on the stone for them, and it is estimated that Liu Dong's bank card is not much money now!

"Hey, I'm shy!"

Liu Dong sighed in his heart.

And this Guardian spring auction.

In addition to calligraphy and painting, there are also a lot of good things in porcelain and miscellaneous!

After reading it, Liu Dong wanted everything in his heart, but this was obviously not good.

But with the remaining 1 in his current bank card.

200 million Huaxia coins, after picking and practicing, you can still win a lot of good things.

In particular, Dong Yuan's "Longsu Suburb Map" and 9 paintings and calligraphy works before the Yuan Dynasty.

Liu Dong has no intention of giving up.

However, the Guardian Spring Auction will be held for three days, and Liu Dong's optimistic calligraphy and painting will obviously not be auctioned tonight!

It's Liu Dong and Zhou Bin.

and when Gu Zhichun was chatting, one after another calligraphy and painting works were auctioned.

After overall consideration this time, Liu Dong no longer makes frequent moves!

"By the way, Xiaodong, don't you have an auction house under you, and you have just merged Red Star, how about it? When are you going to hold the spring auction?"

Zhou Bin said.

Spring and Autumn auctions are the two most important auctions of the year, and almost all the work of auction houses around the world throughout the year is to prepare lots for these two auctions!

The same was true of the Red Star Auction House before it was acquired by Liu Dong, and Liu Dong began preparations last year in order to make his new auction house a hit.

Now that the two auction houses have merged, the richness of the collection is even more amazing, especially when Chen Yuguang reported to him this morning, Liu Dong is not afraid of affecting the development of his auction house, and even plans to directly leave all the antiques that he is optimistic about.

"On the 15th of this month, the location is in the ** hotel, and then Brother Zhou, you have to take care of your brother's business!"

Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Of course, I'll invite a few more friends to cheer you on when the time comes, but you need a little more good things to prepare!"

Zhou Bin said with a smile.

"Don't worry about this Brother Zhou, I promise that I won't disappoint you when the time comes!"

Liu Dong said confidently.

Red Star Auction House was the third largest auction house in China before it was acquired by Liu Dong, and when Liu Dong was preparing for the spring auction of Puhua Auction House, in addition to some of the antiques he supported, handmade antique furniture and jewelry were the focus.

Especially for jewelry, the materials used are all high-end materials, and even for the finale, Liu Dong put 3 sets of glass imperial green level jewelry!

After having the harvest in the temperature-resistant treasure house, Liu Dong added top jewelry of red sapphires, as well as South Sea pearls, and some diamond jewelry to it, ensuring that each piece is exciting.
