Chapter 367: Public Welfare Auction 2
"In order to save your time, this auction will be held while enjoying the sake. The auctioneer said what he thought was humorous, causing the laughter that echoed below, and at the same time cleared his throat and said, "Since we want to save everyone's time, I will now announce the official start of the auction!" ”
As the words fell, a young girl in a cheongsam pushed a trolley over with a smile on her face, and carefully transferred the box placed on top of the cart to the auction table. The auctioneer nodded and smiled, "Now the auction of the first item begins!" As he spoke, he opened the box and said, "The first item is a landscape painting by Master Liu Mingyun. This painting is from Master Liu Mingyun when he was young, when Liu Mingyun was still an unknown painter, and no one knew his name at all. Thankfully, his first solo exhibition was a great success and his name was remembered all over the world, and this painting was one of all the works in that exhibition! ”
After a pause, he was afraid that the people present would not understand the intrinsic value of this painting, and added: "This painting seems to be no different from other paintings of Master Liu Mingyun, but it contains the spirit that Master Liu Mingyun wants to convey to us - work hard towards the goal, as long as you don't give up, you will reach the end one day!" At the same time, this painting is also the best thing to witness the growth of Master Liu Mingyun! ”
The second half of the sentence is not entirely added to raise the price of the painting, any painter's painting will not be a simple painting, but wants to convey something to the viewer. Spiritual, perhaps; Maybe it's missing; Poignant, perhaps; Perhaps it's a pity. Each painting has its own unique life and representation, which cannot be replicated.
"Since it is an early painting by Master Liu Mingyun, the price will naturally be a little higher than his ordinary works." The auctioneer said: "The reserve price is three million, and each time the sign is raised for 100,000 yuan, and now the auction has officially begun!" ”
As soon as his words landed, there was already a middle-aged man in a gray suit with a slight fortune below holding a sign, representing his bid of three million.
The auctioneer thought that what he said earlier had played a certain role in fueling the situation, and hurriedly said: "This gentleman bid three million!" Is there anything more expensive than this gentleman? His eyes fell on an old man wearing a black robe on the left, and he hurriedly said, "This old gentleman bid 3.1 million, is there a higher price?" ”
"Four million!" A young man on the right shook the sign and raised the price directly.
"It's just a painting, is it worth so much money?" Not long after Han Luo's debut, he didn't know much about Master Liu Mingyun's paintings. In his impression, it is not uncommon for him to have famous paintings that can cost millions of dollars, but they are generally oil paintings and abstract paintings from Europe.
Yang Yi had only seen a similar auction on TV, and watched with great interest as several people raised the price of the painting to five million, glanced at Han Luo and said, "This painting must be the authentic work of Master Liu Mingyun." And Master Liu Mingyun is a very famous grandmaster-level painter in the world. His paintings were originally very valuable, not to mention that the painting now auctioned is his early work, although it is not as mature as his current work, and the painting is still a little jerky and immature, but its connotation value is the most important. The four words of steadfastness are easy to say, but there are very few things that can really be done. ”
"If you don't understand, don't talk." Jia Hui was dissatisfied: "So as not to affect Mr. Yang's interest!" In front of Han Luo, he naturally wouldn't call Yang Yi the commander, so as not to explain at a great length. This young man named Han Luo was recruited by the Heavenly Oracle Empire from other media companies at great expense, although his reputation is not too big, but fortunately, he is very diligent in his studies, which makes the upper echelons of the Heavenly Oracle Empire very satisfied, so he will be praised as a rising star. But his shortcomings are also obvious, many things he doesn't understand can't be held back, and opening his mouth is a problem regardless of the occasion, and he never considers the situation on the spot.
Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "It is a good thing for young people to know more about the characteristic landscape paintings of the Dragon Kingdom, so as not to only know oil paintings in the future and ignore the culture of their own country." ”
"Five million! Is there a higher price? If no one raises the price, then this painting is the old gentleman's! The first auction item went so smoothly that the auctioneer was very excited: "Five million for the first time!" Five million for the second time! Five million for the third time! Deal! This early work of Master Liu Mingyun is now the old gentleman's! ”
The hostess next to her smiled and put the painting into the box, and carefully held it in the hands of the old man in the black robe. However, although the painting is already his, he can only take it home after paying for it, otherwise he will be forcibly recycled, and the relevant penalties will be paid, and maybe he will have to go to jail in a lawsuit. Otherwise, anyone can go to the scene and shout nonsense, which will seriously affect the conduct of the auction.
"Next is the second item, a blue and white porcelain tea set from the Ming Dynasty!" The auctioneer raised his voice: "This tea set originally had four teacups, but for some inevitable reason it lost one of them, and the other one also broke the gap. As he spoke, Miss Manners brought another box, which opened to reveal a set of tea sets inside.
The bottom of the tea set is blue and white with a background color, and the glaze colors such as red, yellow, and green are gradually dyed from the bottom to the top. Various colors intersect, layers are complex, but there is no overlap, through the color of the shade and the change of color to render the yin and yang of the scene, far and near dense, so that the rendered picture is more three-dimensional. The same goes for the remaining three teacups, but one of the cups has a soybean-sized notch on the edge, making the whole set look a little incongruous.
"Everyone must think that this is just a set of broken Ming Dynasty blue and white tea sets." Seeing the general reaction below, the auctioneer froze and said: "But if you want to say that they were once owners, everyone will feel that they are indeed a set of blue and white colorful tea sets worth collecting." ”
As if he was deliberately selling Guanzi, the auctioneer's eyes swept around, whetting the appetite of the guests below, and then he slowly said: "Everyone knows Zhang Xianzhong at the end of the Ming Dynasty, right?" And this tea set is what he used to use. Now I don't need to say that everyone knows its value, right? The auction is now open with a reserve price of eight million! The minimum price for each bid is 200,000! ”
Boos erupted below, apparently doubting the authenticity of the origin of this tea set. Although the people present were all dignitaries, none of them were fools, and although they had a lot of money, it was not blown by the wind, so no one wanted to spend it in vain.
There was no one bidding for half a day, and the auctioneer was a little anxious and wanted to speak. Here, Yang Yi had already said lazily: "I don't care if this tea set was used by Zhang Xianzhong when he was young." Just because it was a blue and white colorful at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was already worth eight million. What's more, each item in the auction will have a special expert to evaluate the value of the item, and there will be a signature in black and white to testify, which should not be fake. Alas! It's a pity that I don't have 8 million, otherwise I would have bought it back and collected it, maybe it will be doubled directly after a while, and it may be worth 20 million. ”
His voice was neither loud nor small, just enough for everyone in the quiet hall to faintly hear. There was a middle-aged man next to him who originally had the intention of buying, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, but now he was instigated by Yang Yi so intentionally or unintentionally, and finally made up his mind to buy this tea set, and immediately raised a sign and said: "I want eight million!" ”
"This gentleman is bidding eight million! Is there anything more expensive than him? The auctioneer subconsciously looked at Yang Yi gratefully, but found that the latter was gobbling up the food in front of him, and at the same time pouring beer violently, there was no image at all, and it was not at all like when he spoke before.
"It's a shame you don't go to be an auctioneer!" Xia Ziyu couldn't help but be angry when she looked at Yang Yi's gobbling up: "You know how to eat all day long, are you reincarnated as a starving ghost?" ”
Luo Dazhang next to him closed his mouth, he was an old fox, and he would never mix anything that didn't concern him, and Han Luo next to him wanted to interface, and immediately felt a pain in his instep, and found that it was Jia Hui next to him who stepped on him hard, and at the same time, he was also giving himself a look, signaling that he didn't hear what he was doing.
Yang Yi didn't notice the small movements of several people, spit out the bones in his mouth to the ground, poured another sip of beer, wiped his mouth full of oil, and said with a smile: "Life is in the world, food and clothing are two words." I'm already very economical in terms of what I wear, and the food here doesn't cost money, so I naturally have to eat a little more. Besides, it doesn't seem that these foods are provided by Miss Xia either, right? ”
Xia Ziyu was robbed by Yang Yi, and couldn't help but say, "Eat!" Eat so much and be careful to kill you! After speaking, he turned his head suddenly, as if he was angry, but in fact, he was still secretly aiming at Yang Yi.
"I just opened a beef noodle restaurant near my house, do you want me to take you there?" Yang Yi burped and said with a grin: "To be honest, that beef noodle restaurant tastes very authentic, and I see many celebrities and rich people often appearing there." "Bragging and not paying taxes, he opened his mouth and bragged violently. Anyway, if you can't fight, you just invite her once, and eating beef noodles is not expensive, it's better than eating a big meal.
Jin Ruoxi snorted and said angrily: "I'm not available for the past few days, I'll call you in a few days!" He didn't look back when he spoke, but he obviously agreed to Yang Yi's invitation.
Han Luo was dumbfounded, he didn't understand why he could invite Xia Ziyu to eat beef noodles and make an appointment with a beautiful woman so smoothly, but those who invited him to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas were rejected without even seeing the noodles. At the same time, I was also thinking about whether I would like to ask beef noodles if I wanted to ask for a girl.
Jia Hui couldn't help but sigh and said: "Mr. Yang is Mr. Yang, there are too many places worth learning from us!" ”
The blue and white porcelain tea set was finally sold for 10 million, and the buyer was the middle-aged man who was the first to bid. Holding his favorite tea set, he looked very excited.
"The next auction item is a weapon!" The auctioneer beckoned, and the hostess brought up a long box, which opened to reveal the red satin inside, which was wrapped around an object about four feet long, which looked quite mysterious.
