Qiu Guofu nodded, this little brother is not bad for money, don't say anything else, the last oil painting alone cost 1.5 billion! Later, he asked Baoli to take five Picassos, and Wang Jiansen packed 200 million, which is not a problem. √∟，

Wu Tianyuan had a rare opportunity to go to the Sufubi treasury for a turn, but unfortunately there were not a few authentic pieces of the Yuan Dynasty this time, and the antiques were too rare when they arrived in the Yuan Dynasty. The so-called ten do not exist one, one hundred pieces in the Qing Dynasty, only ten pieces in the Ming Dynasty, and one or two pieces in the Yuan Dynasty are fortunate.

Compared with the cumbersome luxury of Qing Dynasty furniture, Wu Tianyuan prefers the simplicity and elegance of the Ming style, especially the Huanghuali material, which is fragrant and elegant.

The next day, Wu Tianyuan saw Ye Lao, and he came all the way to participate in the auction, and the two met and chatted.

"You want to set up a Ming-style furniture showroom?"

Ye Chengyao said happily: "Ming-style furniture is the one that can best represent the elegance of literati, except for calligraphy and painting, it can be regarded as furniture." This is the last treasure of Ellsworth, and I have a rare opportunity to join in the fun. ”

Wu Tianyuan helped the old man pour tea, and said tentatively: "Discuss something for you, can you give me some furniture?" ”

"No problem, you didn't mention it last time, I know that sooner or later your kid will come to me. When this auction is over, you and I will choose, and then Lao Ge and I will also visit your museum. ”

Ye Laoyi waved his hand and said in a grand manner, he had a good impression of Wu Tianyuan, he was young and promising, and he had a sense of mission, so he entrusted his collection to him at ease.

Wu Tianyuan was very happy, an exhibition hall needs at least fifty or sixty exhibits, plus the treasures of the Ming Dynasty and future preparations, a hundred pieces of furniture is not too much. Now he can hear the voice of the Ming Dynasty, which happens to be the golden age of research and study.

"Today, we would like to thank collectors from all over the world for coming to the Ellsworth Last Collection Auction, and we have prepared 30 pieces of Ming-style furniture......"

Wu Tianyuan and Ye Lao sat together, ready to grab the baby, Ye Lao mainly came to see, in case there is a category that is missing in his own collection system, the cost performance is good, you can consider taking it.

"Garn, here!"

Suddenly, Ye Lao greeted with a smile, Wu Tianyuan looked back, and sure enough, it was Huang Huali, Jiamutang Wu Jiaen, she also came to participate in the auction.

"Hello Ye, I'm also looking for you, with Curator Wu?"

Wu Jiaen was very elegant, and greeted with a smile: "Brother, the pen holder last time made me pay a lot of money!" ”

Wu Tianyuan said with a smile: "It's mainly Annie's willful little girl, I didn't expect to be able to get that sky-high price!" However, Sister Wu can rest assured that there will be a suitable private transaction in the future and will give you the lowest discount. ”

The three of them laughed, sat down together to prepare for the auction, Wu Tianyuan chatted a few words, and also proposed to buy Jiamutang Ming-style furniture, whether it was auctioned or packaged.

"I have long heard that the Tianyuan Museum is majestic, and even the Vatican has come to you to exchange collections, no problem, when the auction is over, I will return to Hong Kong together, I have more than 20 collections in my hands, I like you to pick first."

Wu Jiaen said politely, the kid in front of him has risen too fast, he is top in terms of connections and strength, and his fame is getting louder and louder.

Wu Tianyuan is very satisfied, he likes to communicate with professional collectors, for example, Wu Jiaen is a player, the level is very high, the path is very wide, and he can cooperate if he needs it in the future.

"Let's do this for a while, Ye Lao and I are here to pick up the leaks, first, to see if there are any shortcomings? The second is to see that it is cost-effective, you kid is here to sweep the goods, don't kill each other. ”

Wu Jiaen said: "Let's discuss, if the two of us have the same shape in our hands, you will give up, after all, the auction is expensive." If you don't have it, you'll make a move, you're a big money anyway! ”

Wu Tianyuan said indifferently: "No problem, if you like me, call it down first, it's a big deal, let's exchange, it's not a thing." ”

Ye Chengyao is not a professional businessman, and he has limited funds in his hands, Wu Tianyuan has already considered this, the old man likes to take it first, and then exchange it when he goes back.

Wu Jiaen nodded secretly, no wonder this guy can mix well, just this little bit of thought and bearing is not ordinary, it is worth befriending.

Wu Jiaen suddenly saw a person coming in the venue, and said in a low voice: "It is rumored that you are against Chen Dongsheng?" ”

Wu Tianyuan also saw Chen Dongsheng from afar, he sat directly in the front row, and confirmed: "The Tao is different, not conspiratory!" ”

Wu Jiaen nodded, she has a good relationship with Baoli, she and Hu Yan are sisters, and she has heard a lot of Chen Dongsheng's insiders, the water is very deep, she doesn't want to get involved, she is just an antique expert.

"The first pair of Huanghuali cabinets with seats in the late Ming Dynasty, the starting price is one million US dollars, and the price is increased by 200,000 yuan each time......"

The first is a heavy weapon, a rare pair of rounded corner cabinets, the road score is very high, and Wu Tianyuan wants to take it.

"Two and two hundred thousand!"

Chen Dongsheng raised his card for the first time, and directly increased it to 2.2 million, which is a high price of 15 million yuan. He didn't know what the purpose was this time, Ming-style furniture Jiade had its own collection channel, was it to show his face?

"Two million six thousand!"

Wu Tianyuan directly increased the price, and there was a commotion in the audience, and now he knows his identity, and every time he makes a move, he is also a figure that tens of thousands of people pay attention to.

Chen Dongsheng didn't look back, he gave up directly, and Wu Tianyuan won this pair of rounded cabinets for 20 million. Ye Lao sighed: "Now there are tens of millions of good things, I can't play it!" ”

"The price is okay, a little expensive, but it's rare to be in pairs, and it's good value for money, rounded corner cabinets are rare."

The three of them had a brief exchange, continued the auction, and Wu Tianyuan simply raised the card directly along the way, as long as any of the three people liked it, he would take it first. Anyway, the next step is to acquire the collections of Ye Lao and Jiamutang, and the price difference is finally discussed.

"Congratulations to Mr. Wu on the last pair of Huanghuali official hat chairs, who became the biggest winner of this game!"

Wu Tianyuan nodded with satisfaction, out of the thirty lots in the audience, he won twenty-one, including two that Ye Lao liked and five that Wu Jiaen liked, and the audience applauded, witnessing the strength of this new local tyrant.

Chen Dongsheng won six pieces and left very low-key.

"A total of 12.5 million US dollars, almost 200 million, a total of 10 million each, Ellsworth is really expensive!"

"No way, this is the celebrity effect, the collection pays attention to this, and you kid is not bad for money!"

Qiu Guofu joked: "I'll send the things directly to Hong Kong, and I'll look for you on vacation in a few days, and then I'll see your treasures." ”

The three of them left New York the next day and went to Hong Kong first, Wu Tianyuan selected 30 pieces of collection from Ye Lao's Jade Mountain House, and packed them for 100 million 200 million. It can also be regarded as helping Ye Lao to travel lightly, and he has money in his hand to buy something else.

As for Jia Mu Tang, it is a professional connoisseur, Wu Jiaen asked Wu Tianyuan to send the exhibition hall drawings, and she was responsible for the overall design to see how to make the best use of the space and show the beauty of the furniture.

"Just these sixteen pieces, you repeat the rest, next time I have a good one, you will choose!"

Wu Tianyuan saw that there were only twenty-three pieces in Wu Jiaen's hands this time, and he was about to pack them directly, and Wu Jiaen only left a few pieces after saying anything.

130 million transactions, Wu Tianyuan came out this time and spent 450 million to bring back 67 pieces of Ming-style furniture, according to Wu Jiaen's design, at least three exhibition halls can be arranged.

"The treasures of the Ming Dynasty, the literati and the elegant residence are all in place in one step, and the rest is kept, and it must be used, cool!"

Looking at the arranged exhibition hall, Wu Tianyuan was satisfied, he liked Ming-style furniture and Huanghuali the most, and now it is finally complete. Just sit and smell the fragrance when you're fine.

Ye Lao and Ge Lao, who had just finished visiting, sighed for a while, it was better to hear than to see, and they all said that the Tianyuan Museum had heavy weapons, and it was even more shocking to see it in person.

"If you don't say that I thought I was in the new Forbidden City! You're awesome! ”

Ge Lao couldn't put it down and played with the Yongle Hand Cup, and sighed: "This Hand Press Cup is a treasure that our father and son have dreamed of for sixty years!" Every time I can only go to the Forbidden City through the glass, I didn't expect you to have a couple here! ”

"There are also two chicken bowl cups, Yongle plum bottles, Xuande furnace, you have four different styles, not to mention the four talents, this is too exaggerated, right?"

Ye Lao played with the plum bottle, and said helplessly for a while: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the two of us are pushed too fast by the back waves, right?" ”
