Chapter 207: Strong
In the afternoon, the auction entered a normal rhythm, after the three warm-up works were sold at a price of less than one million, Lot 24, a small-scale ink paper work "Cangshan Luyin" by Gong Xian, a famous painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and one of the eight masters of Jinling, broke out a small upset, with a starting price of 2.6 million, and the result went all the way up, and finally sold at 11.08 million yuan, which exceeded its highest transaction estimate of 4.5 million yuan.
"I heard that this work was originally intended to be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York, but now it is placed at Sotheby's Hong Kong, presumably to hype up the gimmick of the return of cultural relics, damn it, they really let them operate it successfully!"
Speaking of this kind of indifferent thing, even Wang Ruohai couldn't help but scold his mother.
Wang Jing smiled bitterly,
"Nowadays, many works are smuggled out, and then handed over to international giants such as Sotheby's and Christie's for packaging and hype, and finally sold back to China. This comes and goes, at least doubling it is no problem. At present, on the one hand, some patriots are spending money on the repatriation of cultural relics, and on the other hand, some profit-hungry guys are sending cultural relics abroad through various means in order to make high profits...... Alas, people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining! ”
Wang Ruohai also said in a low voice:
"Now there are people calling for no more private money, but the effect of the government channel is not very good, if we can also have a batch of their cultural relics in our hands, it is really not possible to exchange some back."
Li Yi's heart moved when he heard this, he didn't have a batch, but he did have one, and the value was not low.
He lowered his head and pondered for a while, it seemed that he could try, anyway, the sculpture and the carving he learned were not quite the right way, and it would not suffer a loss to exchange it for a few good things of the ancestors, and it was a big deal to specify that only the carving works should be changed.
In the whispered discussion, the afternoon special session unconsciously came to an end, and "Jurui Yingxin" appeared!
Sanyu was unknown during his lifetime, but now, he is recognized by the West as a world-class painter, known as Modigliani of China.
However, Li Yi thinks that this metaphor seems to be more about the unfortunate death of him. It's a pity to be the same as Modigliani, not that he really reached that height. You know, Modigliani's oil painting "Nude Woman Lying on His Side" sold for as much as $170 million. Even his sculptures, which he is not good at, have also been auctioned for a sky-high price of 70.7 million US dollars!
But as a Chinese oil painter, Sanyu's achievements are definitely eye-catching and dazzling. His works are often juxtaposed with Xu Beihong's oil paintings. For a long time, he even alternated with Xu Beihong to set a new auction record for Chinese oil paintings!
The starting price of this "Jurui Yingxin" is 28 million Hong Kong dollars, and the estimated transaction price is more than 40 million, but in the end, it was auctioned at a price that surprised everyone, 71 million!
Although this price is still some way from setting a new auction record for a Chinese oil painting, this price not only exceeds the estimated price by nearly double, but is also the second highest price among Sanyu's works!
In the evening, the first qiē went on step by step, and after more than an hour, the main event came. Two generations of masters, two lotus works, although in terms of the size of the work, is not a heavyweight, but what does it matter? Since Sotheby's dares to put them together, there must be a reason to convince you.
Because it involved his own income, Li Yi was also a little nervous, and he prayed silently in his heart, but nothing went wrong...... No, it's going to go wrong. If God hears his prayer and makes his "Lotus Wind in the Prosperous Age" auction for 200 million, then he will add more and snatch back the white jade cup!
The auction began. Judging from the momentum from the beginning, there is no problem at all for "The Wind in the Water Temple" to break through the highest transaction estimate of 7 million, but no one can say how high it can be.
Soon, "The Wind Comes from the Water Temple" broke through the 10 million mark, but what no one expected next was. The direction of the wind suddenly changed drastically, and it was actually cold!
No way...... Li Yi frowned, he watched the auctioneer spitting desperately on the auction table, but the price was only going up very slowly little by little, and he couldn't help but worry, damn it, if "Shengshi Lotus Wind" also came like this later, wouldn't it be dead?
"It's a pity that I can't pass 15 million."
Wang Jing sighed and shook his head, but Li Yi's eyes widened suddenly, now he can't walk at only a thousand and a half, you said that you can't ...... 1500 Okay, that makes sense, but that's too far, isn't it?
"Hehe, Mr. Wang is teasing you, the real buyers haven't made a move yet, but if these people can only raise the price to this point, it will be difficult to rush past 15 million."
The real buyer hasn't made a move yet? He craned his neck to look at the venue, a large area of black pressure, you can also see this?
However, although he doesn't understand it a little, the two around him are all experts, so they shouldn't be able to judge the wrong shape, or let them estimate the price of "Shengshi Lotus Wind"?
"Mr. Wang, Brother Wang, how much can you see that "Lotus Wind in the Prosperous Age" can be sold in the end?"
Wang Jing hesitated for a moment and said slowly:
"The starting price of 33 million yuan, the highest transaction estimate of 77 million yuan...... Based on the analysis of various signs, Sotheby's actual valuation of it should be around 110 million! ”
Oh, the starting price plus the highest estimate, is that what it means? Li Yi thought back to some of the previous lots, and felt more and more that this speculation was very likely. So, isn't this "The Wind Coming from the Water Temple" only available at the current price? So what else does the real buyer say didn't make a move?
Wang Ruohai looked at Li Yi with a smile and a smile, are you joking or do you really think so? How can it be counted like this?
Li Yi hurriedly raised his hand, joking, the atmosphere of the scene was too solemn, and he was active.
But then, Li Yi saw the madness of the auction, here, money seems to be not money! Because, with a few words, the price of "The Wind in the Water Temple" has soared by more than three million, and it has crossed the threshold of 14 million and reached 14.05 million!
Wang Jing and Wang Ruohai looked at each other, what did they miss just now? Is this a rhythm that is going straight to 20 million?
However, what they didn't expect was that this price turned out to be the final transaction price!
After the hammer fell, Wang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, although the process was a bit of a bump, but the result was still not beyond their expectations, otherwise it would be really a bit weird.
"Of the 62 lots, 51 of them sold for more than the highest estimate, with a probability of more than 80%! Is this Sotheby's strategy, or is the market really that hot? Wakami. You think about this problem first, and when the auction is over in my room, let's have a conference call with Lao Qin and them. ”
Wang Ruohai nodded, and the last lot "Lotus Wind in the Prosperous Age" has appeared!
"I don't think Cui Ruzhuo needs to be introduced, right? I don't need to introduce the size of this work, right? I don't need to introduce that work in the Great Hall of the People, right? Good! Next, I solemnly announce. The finale of this year's Spring Auction Calligraphy and Painting Session, "Lotus Wind in the Prosperous Age", is now auctioning! ”
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, more than two dozen quotation cards sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and Li Yi's nervous brows jumped.
"Huh. Xiao Li seems to be very excited! Also, the starting price of 33 million will be so enthusiastic, it can only be said that Sotheby's is really powerful, the publicity work is great, and everyone also gives face support, but now the bidders are all showing the deposit, and the real buyers are only afraid that they will not sell until after 60 million. ”
Li Yi suddenly remembered that the painting was transferred to him at a discount of $6 million, and then thought about the question that Wang Jing asked Wang Ruohai to think about just now, and an idea suddenly popped up.
Perhaps, this qiē is not because Sotheby's is powerful. It's not a deliberate strategy by Sotheby's, it should be that they didn't expect the market to explode suddenly!
That...... Should they be sued for this judgment? Li Yi decided to go back and call his master and ask her to deal with it.
In just such a while, the price of "Lotus Wind in the Prosperous World" has rushed to 58 million, Li Yi looked at the time, and in 3 minutes, it rose by a full 25 million!
Perhaps, Bob is regretting it now?
In the corner of the front row of the venue, a young white man was holding up the phone to broadcast the live broadcast to Bob, and Bob on the other end of the phone listened expressionlessly. In a luxury villa in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong. Li Xiong's mobile phone turned on the speaker and threw it on the sofa on the side, and the sound coming from it was also a live broadcast of the live quotation, and Li Xiong himself was leaning on the bar with a glass of red wine and pondering something.
The boom in quotations slowed down significantly after breaking through 65 million. Then it took ten minutes to climb up to 90 million with difficulty, Li Yi's face was cloudy, Wang Jing nodded, it seems that he has estimated it again, this work can't pass 110 million!
After another three minutes, the price slowly climbed to 100 million. At this time, there were only two companies left in the arena to face off, and one of them was bidding in time every time, looking like it would retreat at any time.
100 million Hong Kong dollars, more than 80 million yuan, Li Yi calculated it, it is not very low, anyway, it is collected at 6 million US dollars, this price is already a big profit!
At this time, everyone in the field knew that it had reached the last moment, and many people began to pack up their things and prepare to retreat, but they didn't expect that suddenly the situation suddenly changed, and the quotation was everywhere, and in just half a minute, there were three more entries, and the quotation also soared to 128 million!
I'll go! What's going on? You're too calm, aren't you? Is there a trust?
Wang Jing shook his head solemnly, this price is already very good, there is no need to let Tuo enter at all. There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the two families who were fighting before were the scavengers arranged by one or two of these families behind! Now it's time to see the poor dagger, and the master himself has jumped out!
However, even if the main family jumps out, there is not much momentum, because the value of a thing is fixed, and it will not be excessively premium because of the number of people competing for it, so in the end, this "Prosperous Lotus Wind" did not rush to 150 million in the end, but fell to the 148 million that is coming at dawn! (To be continued.) )
