Chapter 212: First Encounter
Li Yi first checked the inscription and seal, and then carefully observed the use of brushwork and ink color, but unfortunately there was no real handwriting of Xie Zhiliu in his mind that could be used for comparison, so he just felt that the painting was good, but he couldn't determine the authenticity, so he had no choice but to go directly to the spirit card, and in an instant, the result came out, the authenticity!
"How much does this painting cost?"
This time the man did not hesitate and directly quoted the price,
"1.2 million, the real price, there is nothing to discount."
Li Yi nodded and glanced at the remaining two scrolls. These two scrolls are the same size, both are silk, and the size looks like a handscroll, but when I opened it, I realized that it was actually a two-meter-long eight-character couplet! Looking at the inscription again, Li Yi suddenly felt that the world was so magical, because the inscription of this couplet was written with two small characters of Sun Wen!
"How much does this one cost?"
"Heh, since Mr.'s appreciation of calligraphy and painting is so high, he must know about Sotheby's spring auction this time, right? There is also a couplet by Sun Wen in the calligraphy and painting exhibition, but it is a five-word couplet, so this one will be slightly more expensive than that one, 12 million. โ
Li Yi shook his head, that one was very high, and you were even more ruthless!
"Okay, let's talk about the price of this masterpiece by Mr. Xie, if you really want to sell it, how much will it cost?"
"I can't be less, I don't make any more money than 1.2 million! Otherwise, you take this piece of "Pillow Stone in the Mountain", and I will calculate 5.6 million for you! โ
Li Yi rolled his eyes and said:
"The two together let 200,000, I only need one, then let 100,000 good, stay with you for a long time, it will be successful, I won't leave!"
The man glanced at his sister with a smile, and his sister nodded secretly, sell it, anyway, there is a lot of money, and this kind of modern times is not the work of those outstanding people. I don't know what it's like when I put it on the auction!
Swiped the card to pay the bill, took the things, Li Yi got up and walked towards the door, and as soon as he took a step, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ouyang Chunyi bending down and picking up the oil painting that was thrown aside one step ahead of him.
"As you just said, if only we buy you one more thing. The painting was given to us. โ
The man shrugged his shoulders in a chic manner, take it, anyway, if I put it here, I don't know when I'm in a bad mood, I'll throw it away!
Li Yi smiled and nodded at Ouyang Chun, okay, I will live, I know that firewood and rice are expensive before I become a house!
Going out and getting into the car, Ouyang Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief, he stared at Li Yi and asked:
"By the way, are you appraisers usually so good? Hundreds of millions, I was dizzy. The bargain price is 100,000 or 100,000, as if money is not money in your eyes! โ
Li Yi rolled his eyes disdainfully, don't pretend to me! When I don't know, that's what your jewelry looks like, right? He lifted the box containing the Huanghuali pearl box in his hand,
"Oh, I'm such a big one, it's only tens of thousands of yuan, and I will exchange it for such a big ruby, can you try it?"
Ouyang Chun threw the canvas in his hand onto Li Yi,
"Don't talk nonsense here. If you really have such a big ruby, don't say anything else, just let me marry you! โ
Before Li Yi could speak, he suddenly felt the body shake. Xiao S came on the road, fortunately, there are few cars here, and it has to be replaced by Da Yanjing, and it has to be hung up, so I can't help but make a grimace, big brother. You're scaring the driver's little pot friend!
Ouyang Chun spread his hands helplessly,
"Where are you going next? If it's okay, I'll show you around? Now I'm half a landlord anyway. โ
"Okay, what's the best place in Hong Kong?"
"It's the most fun...... It's a bit of a difficult question. โ
Ouyang Chun was hesitating, and suddenly heard the driver in the front row say:
"If you want to shop, go to Mong Kok, if you want to see the night view, go to the Peak Park or Victoria Bay, if you want fans, you can go to the Avenue of Stars, and the Star Ferry is a must-go......
The driver said the same Li Yi broke a finger, and when he finished speaking, he found that in addition to the Peak Park, he had gone to all the interesting places in Hong Kong? How is this possible?!
"Everybody has a different opinion, you're definitely not interested in shopping, you live next to Victoria Bay, you know all about food...... Why don't I take you to a nightclub? But I want you to have a treat! โ
Li Yi wiped a cold sweat on his forehead speechlessly, this Japanese company is not good at all, especially if people stay for a long time, they will become a little obscene, and they dare to discuss going to nightclubs in public...... In other words, do you know which one is the most hilarious?
Before Ouyang Chun could speak, the driver interjected again,
"Those few are closed, there is nothing interesting in Hong Kong's nightclubs now, if you really want to play, you can go to Macau to try. But if I want to say this kind of thing, nightclubs are not as good as saunas, and more than 1,000 thrown out do not include meat gold, how can there be a direct sauna! โ
Li Yi and Ouyang Chun's eyes lit up at the same time, Macau! Well, how can you forget this place? It is said that it is a man's paradise!
"Why don't we go to Macau after lunch?"
"Okay, I'll go after lunch, if it's fun, it's okay to stay overnight!"
Ouyang Chun waved his fist excitedly, he has been depressed and depressed for so long since he came to Hong Kong, and he has not been to Macau once!
Li Yi bowed his body, picked up the canvas on his lap and prepared to put it aside, but the faint coolness that suddenly came from the palm of his hand made him suddenly startled in his heart, could it be that this is another "Untitled"?
Hans? Hoffman...... What the hell is this?
Ignoring the driver and Ouyang Chun, who were still talking about the Macau casino from nowhere, Li Yi took out his mobile phone and opened Baidu.
Hans? Hoffmann (1883-1966) was a pioneer of abstract expressionism. Born in Germany...... During his studies in Paris, he established deep friendships with Delaunay, Matisse, Picasso, Braque and others...... Later, he moved to the United States and made important contributions to the revitalization of the American avant-garde. In a sense, he can be called the "father of abstract expressionism......
I'm stuck, so awesome? Not only is the circle of friends so powerful that it is beyond the sky, but what kind of father can you be! In other words, the little Fu who painted "Untitled" seems to be their abstract school, right? His paintings are often tens of millions of dollars, but what about his father?
Well, although many times the father of something may not be really powerful, although it seems that there are many branches of abstraction, but there is no doubt that he was lucky and sent it again!
But I have to thank this brother next to him, he has always helped him think about it!
Li Yi glanced at Ouyang Chun, who was chatting with the driver, and hesitated, it was better not to tell him about this matter, and if there was a chance in the future, just take care of him. As for tonight, the money is spent casually, as long as you eat, it won't be interesting enough to be full, I'll step on the horse and support it!
Searched on the Internet for a while and didn't find any information about Hans? I didn't see the picture of the work called "Dialogue" in the auction price of Hoffman's work, but it doesn't matter, it is estimated that it should be a master who starts at tens of millions of dollars......
Back at the hotel, Li Yi thought about it for a long time, and decided that it would be more appropriate to go to the bank to open a safe, not to mention that there is still a piece of glass wool worth millions in the corner, and if you get that white jade cup tomorrow, you must also deposit it in the bank to rest assured!
Ouyang Chun is not surprised by this construction, in his opinion, it is indeed unsafe to put more than one million things in a hotel, and he is renting a house, which is not safe than a hotel......
As soon as he came out of the bank, Li Yi received a call from Liu Xibo, informing him to go to the handover, the payment of "Shengshi Lotus Wind" had arrived, and the white jade cup had been prepared for him.
The two of them went to Sotheby's non-stop, and Li Yi had to explain that he was helping a friend purchase, which still made Ouyang Chun sigh with emotion,
"Knowing that it is fake, you are willing to spend 30 million to buy it? Li Yi, you kid...... Let me say what is good about you? I was lucky to get a piece of jade and earned nearly 10 million, and then I thought that I would enter a pawn shop, and in the end, even the friends I made were like this, and I was on the top of my head, "I just have money, and I don't accept it!" 'Big tyrant, I'll go, I kind of understand what a step is called a step difference, step by step, it's less than a year since I graduated, and you've thrown all the buddies out of a universe! โ
"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated, it's actually just a galaxy......"
Li Yi is really in a good mood, because of these two things, "Shengshi Lotus Wind" was snatched by him from Christie's, so the seller's commission was waived, not to mention the white jade cup, not to mention the white jade cup, not only took a huge advantage, but in order to facilitate this transaction, Liu Xibo even waived the buyer's commission of up to 15% for him......
"Get out, you kid Niu you really dragged it up, no, I'm not happy, I'm going to ...... at night I'm going to ......"
"Wholesale! Wholesale for you! Find you a girl at once! I'll give you a change when you're done! Pipe support! โ
The two of them went to the bank again, and after coming out, they found a place to eat casually, took a car to the Hong Kong and Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan, spent more than 300 Hong Kong dollars to buy two tickets to Macau, and then waited to get on the boat.
The route, which runs every half hour during the day and runs all night, is a turboJET speedboat that is very fast and takes about an hour to reach Macau.
After a while, it was time to board the ship, and just after stepping onto the deck, Ouyang Chun bumped Li Yi with his elbow, seeing him turn his head, his chin raised to the side, Li Yi looked over, his eyes lit up, beauty! It's a pity that you can't see the front!
On the balustrade of the bow deck stood a girl in denim trousers and a thin brown sweater, carrying a picture clip with her back to the passengers who boarded the ship. Looking at it from Li Yi's angle, I could just see a little bit of the outline of the side face, and I didn't draw any conclusions except that I felt that my skin was better. However, this girl's figure is very suitable for his eyes, it is the kind of slender and tall type, although it is not very exciting, but it is just right.
Because of the sea breeze, the girl's long silk hair is flying, and the disobedient strands at the edge are like jumping elves, and the naughty bouncing seems to be dancing a void dance with a certain wonderful charm, and the occasional Qianqianyu hand that stretches out to arrange the bangs is even more dazzling.
