Chapter 68: Conflict at the Auction
“…… Lovely day's scenery, leaning on the fence to do twelve, the universe is like a floating ......"
The universe is so big, but the author regards it as duckweed, not only his mind and mind are elegant, but also the real feeling of his heart when the object and the self are one, which is fascinating to read.
This word is actually Mi Fu's "Water Tune Song Head Mid-Autumn Festival", this person is also interesting, obviously copying Wang Xizhi's words, written is Wang Xizhi's name, but he uses his own words, which shows that his copy is fake, teasing people is true.
This is also to the modern era, there are not so many people who know Mi Fu's poetry, otherwise this word will not be sold in the name of Wang Xizhi.
The same is written "Water Tune Song Tou Mid-Autumn Festival", more people know the Tao of Su Dongpo is probably Su Dongpo's words, for Mi Fu this song, but know very little about the Tao of the Road.
Mi Fu is a calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, gifted, sloppy, and clean. was served by the Tang people, and accumulated many strange stones. Calligraphy and painting are in their own right. Can paint dead wood, bamboo and stone, when the new ideas come out, and can paint landscapes, create ink clouds, mountains and ink plays, smoke and clouds, plain and naïve.
Good poetry, calligraphy, fine identification. He is good at seals, subordinates, Kai, lines, cursive and other calligraphy, and is good at copying the calligraphy of the ancients, reaching the level of chaos. One of the four Song families. He used to be a school secretary, a doctor of calligraphy and painting, and a member of the Ministry of Rites.
This person has a lot of interesting things in history, but at this time Zhang Tianyuan has no time to tell a few people the story of Mi Fu, the key is that this word is related to Zhao Danfeng's parents, so you have to take a good look.
"Isn't this auction going on today, why don't we just auction this letter? Liu Mengxun looked at the time on the billboard and said.
Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "I can't afford to shoot, Wang Xizhi has very few surviving things, and his "Peace Post" was sold for 308 million RMB at Guardian's autumn auction in 2010. This Wang Xizhi's cursive "Peace Post", also known as "Tell Jiang Dao Post", is only a copy version of later generations, if it is genuine, how much do you think it should be?"
"This is not a copy of Mi Fu's version? and Mi Fu's words, it should be easy to distinguish the authenticity, it is estimated that it is so expensive. Liu Mengxun said.
Zhang Tianyuan thought for a while and said, "This ...... Well, in fact, as early as 2002, Mi Fu's calligraphy masterpiece in his later years "Yan Shan Ming" was successfully auctioned in the imperial capital, and the transaction price of about 30 million yuan set a record in the world of art auctions in China at that time, and this thing is now estimated to be hundreds of millions, after all, at that time, money can be more valuable than now. ”
"Then what to do, don't you care, after all, this is the clue for Danfeng's sister to find her parents, and it is still the only one at present. Liu Mengxun frowned.
"That's it, let's go and see it first, if it really doesn't work, I'll let our company shoot it, anyway, this kind of thing can be used as a treasure of the town store, and it won't be wrong to shoot it." Mu Ying opened her mouth and said.
"Well, I thought I was actually very rich, but now that I look at it, it's not even a piece of, and I can't even afford a single word. Xu Gang shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly.
"Mengxun, it's better to let your grandfather shoot it, anyway, for your grandfather, 30 million is just a drizzle, this is put internationally, even a better football player can't be bought." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, it's just that my grandfather has a weird temper, and he may not be willing to make a bid for this kind of thing. Liu Mengxun really wanted to help Zhao Danfeng, but she didn't have so much money herself.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled, pulled Liu Mengxun aside, and lowered his voice to say something about the Sanqing Golden Statue in his ear.
"What you said is true!" Liu Mengxun asked loudly.
"What am I lying to you for?"
"Okay, I'll call grandpa right away, there will be absolutely no problem, as long as you really have that thing, don't let grandpa take a picture of Mi Fu's words, it is to give you 100 million for nothing, he probably won't care, you have to know that the Taoist people to his age, the most concerned is actually to live a few more days. Liu Mengxun was overjoyed, she thought that her trip to Shenluo Valley could be said to be in vain, but she didn't expect a surprise to appear at this time.
She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and dialed the phone at home, and communicated with her grandfather on the phone.
"Grandpa said, don't say Mi Fu's words, even if it is more than 300 million Wang Xizhi's words, he is willing to take a picture! Grandpa has given me permission, now my card can directly withdraw up to 500 million RMB, there is no problem. Liu Mengxun said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go to the auction site, this thing should be the finale of the day, and I guess the auction hasn't started yet. Zhang Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt a touch of helplessness, he always said that he wanted to pursue Liu Mengxun, but now it seems that he is really far behind, his current total worth is estimated to be less than 100 million, but what about others, casually take four or five billion as a waste, this courage is really incomparable.
But after the helplessness, it is more high-spirited, isn't it money, he has gone from being poor to being worth more than 100 million now, it is only a few months, who knows what will happen in the future?
Everyone entered the auction site, at this time the auction has been going on for a while, but Mi Fu's words have not been taken out, as Zhang Tianyuan said, that thing is a good thing for the finale, it will definitely not be taken out so early, so it is still too late.
Zhang Tianyuan is still the first time to enter the auction, I used to watch it on TV, I didn't expect it to be very troublesome, and after coming in, I went through a lot of procedures, and I got the license plate after the last, and I relied on this number plate to make a quotation.
Everyone sat in the back row, anyway, they were not ready to buy anything else, it was purely for Mi Fu's words.
It didn't take long for the auction to come to the most critical time, and Mi Fu's words were invited.
The host knocked on the wooden hammer and said: "This word "Water Tune Song Tou Mid-Autumn Festival", identified by experts, is the work of the Northern Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu copying Wang Xizhi, the starting price is 10 million RMB, a price increase shall not be less than 1 million, the high is not limited, now the auction starts!"
In fact, whether it is Wang Xizhi's or Mi Fu's, this thing is definitely a good product, for people who like calligraphy, it is really priceless.
"Fifteen million!"
"Twenty million!"
"Twenty-two million!"
"Thirty million!"
……
The price is rising rapidly, giving people the feeling that they can't stop the car, which also makes Zhang Tianyuan sweat in his heart, he only now realizes how crazy the people at the auction are, in fact, sometimes, the things auctioned at the auction may not really be worth the price, but in the crazy auction atmosphere, often things will be much higher than the original value.
Fortunately, after reaching 30 million, the increase finally slowly slowed down, and it was no longer as crazy as before.
"Thirty-five million once! Thirty-five million twice! This is Mi Fu's word, in today's day, Mi Fu's word is very popular, paper money may depreciate, but this thing will definitely not depreciate, even if it is a collection, do not suffer a loss. "The host is obviously fooling everyone into raising the auction price, after all, the more money they pay, the more they charge for the middle price.
"Thirty-six million!" Finally, Liu Mengxun made an offer.
"Oh, the young lady over there bid 36 million, you are beautiful, and your vision is good, is there anything higher than this? Remember, this is the real Mi Fu word, this is the only one in the world!"
"Thirty-seven million!" a very richly dressed young woman shouted a higher price, and she was the same one who had shouted thirty-five million before.
"Thirty-eight million!" Liu Mengxun calmly followed up, anyway, her grandfather said that the upper limit is 500 million, less than 500 million, use it casually.
The young woman hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and shouted, "Three hundred and nine million!"
"Forty million!" Liu Mengxun still quoted without hesitation.
"Hey, you said that woman wouldn't be a to, right?" Xu Gang asked the crowd.
"No, it won't. Zhang Tianyuan said categorically.
"Why are you so sure, do you know that young woman?" asked Xu Gang.
"Yes, I do know her, not only but in my heart. Zhang Tianyuan gritted his teeth, remembered a past event that he didn't want to recall, and then shook his head vigorously, throwing the unhappiness away.
Mu Ying looked at Zhang Tianyuan, sighed and said, "Old classmate, you still can't let it go, it's been so long, that kind of woman, why do you care?"
"Could it be my brother's girlfriend from college?" Xu Gang finally guessed it if he was still smart.
Hearing this, Lan Fenghuang and Liu Mengxun both looked at the young woman in unison, she was indeed very beautiful, no wonder she could attract Zhang Tianyuan.
"Yes, it's her, but it's okay, I've forgotten about her completely. Zhang Tianyuan shrugged his shoulders, looking very relaxed, but everyone could feel that she actually cared a little, which also showed that he was indeed very affectionate to this woman at the beginning, and it was no wonder that he would hide in the Internet café decadently and refuse to see anyone.
Because listening to Zhang Tianyuan's words, Liu Mengxun actually forgot to increase the price, and the woman raised the price to 41 million, and the host was ready to make a final decision.
As if she felt that she had won Liu Mengxun, the woman turned her head and looked at this side very proudly, she didn't notice Zhang Tianyuan, but just locked her eyes on Liu Mengxun who was fighting with her.
This woman is very beautiful, but her dress is a little vulgar, rich and noble, a bit like a peony, but Liu Mengxun has a feeling of being out of the dust, more like a lotus flower that has not been contaminated by the world.
The two of them have their own merits, and it is a miracle that two beauties compete for beauty, which is rare at auctions, especially at this kind of antique auction.
Seeing the woman's provocative gaze, and then seeing Zhang Tianyuan's slightly depressed eyes, Liu Mengxun's heart suddenly rose a wave of anger, she stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "I'll give 50 million!"
