In this process, Song Celadon, who was sitting in the front row, had been very calm and had never made a bid. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Except for the occasional whisper with her best friend Linda, she has never made any unnecessary moves.

Of course, Li Yan and Zhou Zhenghuang beside him have also been very quiet. It was only when he saw a few paintings of Ming and Qing calligraphy that Zhou Zhenghuang raised his hand a few times, but he didn't follow to the end after all.

Next, the auction exhibits became the works of more famous calligraphers and painters.

On the big screens on both sides of the auction table, there is a Chinese painting full of ethnic atmosphere, which is painted on the scene of the traditional sports project "horse wrestling" of the Kirgiz people in northern Xinjiang, which depicts seven female figures, nine sheepdogs, and more than 70 horses.

At the bottom of the screen, the name of the painting and the name of the author are typed.

It is the work of Mr. Huang Zhou, a famous modern calligrapher and painter, "Jubilant Prairie".

The host also announced the name of the work at this time and gave a brief introduction to the work.

This is a masterpiece with a size of 46 square feet, created in the early 80s of the last century, representing the highest artistic level of Huang Zhou's lifelong painting creation, and can be called the crowning work of Huang Zhou's artistic career. It is said that the author, Mr. Huang Zhou, created two paintings of "Jubilant Prairie" for the Taishantai State Guesthouse in Beijing at that time, one of which is now in the collection of Building 18 of the Taishantai State Guesthouse to receive foreign heads of state, and the other is the work that was auctioned this time.

Later, this painting was even presented by Deng Gong, the father of reform, to Dr. Halmer, a legendary wealthy man in the United States. In addition to being an energy magnate, Dr. Halmer is also a well-known art collector, and his collection of art from the Romanov dynasty of Tsarist Russia is well known around the world. It is well-known in China that he once gave back a painting of Master Chen Yifei to Deng Gong.

It is said that in Hammer's office, only the works of two artists, one by Rubens in the 17th century, and the other by Huang Zhou, "Jubilant Prairie" are hung.

Such a painting with a huge history, produced by a famous artist, and inherited in an orderly manner should be worth a lot of money, but Li Yan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the auction price.

The starting price is only 6 million Hong Kong dollars!

Li Yan was stupid. He is very familiar with the parallel earth, and knows that it is the same painting, and at the auction of the earth a few years ago, it has been auctioned for more than 100 million soft girl coins!

Hereof, Why is the price so much worse?

He immediately searched the Internet and realized in his heart.

It turns out that the Yellow Zhou of Azure Star and the Yellow Zhou of the Earth, although they are the same person, the Yellow Zhou Master of Azure Star was born ten years later than the Yellow Zhou of the Earth! Moreover, the earth's Huang Zhou master passed away at the end of the 90s, and the Huang Zhou master of Azure Star is still alive today!

No wonder!

Can the value of a master's work be the same before and after his death!?

Li Yan looked at the projected masterpiece, leaned back on the chair slowly, and exhaled slowly.

This is definitely a super potential stock for art investment. This big leak, I'm going to pick it up tonight anyway!

So, after the host began to announce the auction, Li Yan waited for it and prepared to bid.

Of course, he didn't rush to make a move, and first looked at the heat of the live auction.

As a result, he was surprised that the starting price of such a masterpiece was so low, and there were very few people participating in the auction! It seems that the people of this world have not yet begun to realize the value of Master Huang Zhou's works!

Although Master Huang Zhou is a first-class master of calligraphy and painting in China, he is a modern painter after all, and his fame is slightly inferior to that of super-first-class masters such as Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi.

In addition, in this world, the master is still alive, so the price is seriously depressed.

In the tepid bidding process, it took several rounds of bidding before the price reached 8 million. At this time, Li Yan no longer hesitated, directly raised the sign in his hand, and called out a price: "10 million!" ”

"Wow!"

There was a slight commotion among the buyers in the venue, and many people turned their heads to look at him. Maybe I was surprised by his jumping bid. Of course, perhaps more people think it's worth it to buy this work at this price.

After Li Yan made a move, the person who followed the price fell silent all of a sudden. The host shouted in an excited voice: "Is there any bidding?" 10 million for the first time, 10 million for the second time......"

At this time, a buyer in front of the right side quoted another price after hesitation: "11 million!" ”

Before the host could react, Li Yan raised his card without hesitation and said: "15 million!" ”

"Wow!"

"15 million for this work, this price premium is too much, right?"

"I don't understand. The valuation of the industry is up to 10 million. However, it is difficult to buy a favorite, and if you really like it, it is not too much to buy it at this price. ”

Perhaps slightly taken aback by the price, the buyers present whispered.

After Li Yan made two consecutive blockbuster increases, the competitor finally gave up. The host dropped the hammer heavily and announced that Li Yan had successfully completed the transaction at a price of 15 million Hong Kong dollars.

Some dressed men and women around him were still looking at Li Yan's unfamiliar face, and most of the content of the discussion was not worth it. Even Zhou Zhenghuang and Wen Jiayi whispered a few words of persuasion to him.

"Mr. Li, this price ...... It seems to be a little high, and everyone is not very optimistic. Could it be that Mr. Li thinks that there is any selling point of this painting that we have not seen? ”

Li Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I like it more." ”

Art investment is too much to discern and pay attention to some luck. But this painting has been auctioned at auctions a few years ago, and it has been sold for a high price of 130 million yuan, which is equivalent to Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely more than 150 million, so there is no doubt about the high artistic value.

In fact, a few months after Li Yan bought this work, the author Huang Zhou unfortunately passed away, and the industry suddenly blew up the atmosphere of hyping Master Huang's work, and the value of Li Yan's painting suddenly increased nearly tenfold. Among them, Wen Jiayi and others who are now persuading Li Yan are also included.

Of course, that's all for later.

Zhou Zhenghuang and Wen Jiayi heard Li Yan say this, so they stopped persuading him.

At this time, Song Celadon in front also glanced back. Of course, there were many buyers in the venue, and Li Yan was mixed in the crowd, and Song Celadon didn't see him.

Then, the host announced the start of the next round of auctions, and a photograph of a new painting was cast on the projection screen.

When Li Yan looked at this painting, he couldn't sit still. This is one of the several works that he has already set in his heart, and he must rush to shoot.
