Zhang Lin was once invited to host a high-end auction for Sotheby's, all of which are world-class paintings.

Those who were able to participate in that auction were regulars on the international rich list, as well as some rich people with mysterious identities.

And just that auction reached a turnover of 500 million.

One of Van Gogh's paintings was sold for a billion.

Later, after the auction ended, the CEO of Sotheby's added 1 million to the promised remuneration, because Zhang Lin's hosting increased the turnover of only 4 billion by 1 billion.

It can be seen that Zhang Lin still has some means to enhance the enthusiasm of bidders.

But there is an old saying in Huaxia that is very good, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. It means that even a smart and capable woman cannot cook without rice. Figuratively doing things lacks the necessary conditions and is difficult to do.

Zhang Lin is certainly a good hand at encouraging bidders to be enthusiastic, if a collection can be sold for about 500,000 yuan, after Zhang Lin's rendering, the final transaction price is still very easy to reach 600,000 yuan.

However, this premise is that the collection itself has a certain value.

The collection that appeared on the booth at this time, in Zhang Lin's opinion, can almost be said to be worthless.

So this made Zhang Lin feel very embarrassed, if this product was unsold, it would also make her host, a little disgraceful.

But as a world supermodel, her psychological quality is still very passable, so Zhang Lin settled up and introduced this special collection to everyone.

"It's an ink painting, and it's called 'Shrimp'."

Zhang Lin introduced it to everyone, but when the words of the introduction came out, let alone the bidders below, even she felt a little embarrassed.

Like the dozen or so collections in the previous auction, she introduced a lot of them, showing everyone the preciousness of the collection.

But it's too difficult to introduce this painting, even if it's a simple one. But even the author has nothing to say, if the author is any famous painter of the Song Dynasty or Ming Dynasty, then Zhang Lin can talk a lot, after all, the painter is the key to the value of a painting.

A painter of Van Gogh's level. Not to mention painting a picture carefully, even if it is a few strokes sketched randomly on a blank piece of paper, it can be regarded as a stroke of genius by later generations, and it can easily be sold for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of sky-high prices.

But. However, the painter of this painting is neither an ancient nor a modern master.

Even, its author sat at the auction site.

"This painting was painted by Qin Shi, and the three shrimps in it are smart and lively, lifelike, full of charm, and the painting is indeed very good."

But in order not to let this painting go unauctioned, Zhang Lin still saw some good advantages from the simple paintings in this chapter, and then introduced them to everyone.

Dozens of pairs of eyes in the audience were staring at the painting unfolding on the stage. They felt that the shrimp in this painting was indeed very similar and lifelike, but that was all.

Even if it weren't for Wen Yifeng and some elders present, some people couldn't help but laugh when they looked at this painting.

"Although this painting is not painted by a famous painter, these shrimps are still very good and have a very good artistic conception, so after evaluation, the starting price is 5,000."

Zhang Lin glanced at the audience and said.

"Poof."

As soon as I heard the word "five thousand" at the starting price. Some people couldn't help it, and then laughed out loud, because the orchid fair has been held for so many years, and this auction has been going on for more than ten years. But even more than a decade ago, there was no collection with a starting price of less than 10,000 yuan.

I have to say that Qin Shi's "Shrimp" has set a new record in the auction of the Orchid Club.

And this record is unprecedented, and most of them are unprecedented.

After Zhang Lin said the reserve price of five thousand. Except for someone laughing, the scene was silent for almost a full ten seconds.

No one was interested in this painting of Qin Shi, and no one raised a sign to bid for it.

Not to mention that this situation happened for the first time in this auction, and it had not happened in previous auctions, many people set their eyes on Qin Shi, and they all felt very funny about the author of this painting.

Those who were already ill-intentioned towards Qin Shi were even more secretly refreshed at this time, ready to watch Qin Shi's good show.

Su Youxia turned her head to look at Qin Shi, a few worried looks appeared in her eyes, she wanted to take this painting, because she didn't want to see those people ridicule Qin Shi because of the failure of this painting.

But she didn't do it after all, because she knew that if she really did that, those people would laugh at Qin Shi even more.

"What a group of people who don't have a vision."

Qin Shi also shook his head in his heart for the eyes of those around him who wanted to see his good show, he felt that these people were a little short-sighted and short-sighted.

He did paint this "Shrimp" by himself, but it was not his own creativity, but copied from the "Shrimp" of a famous painter named Qi Baishi on the earth, which can almost be said to be chaotic.

The old man Qi Baishi has a high reputation on the earth, among which his painting of shrimp is the most famous, and an article about Qi Baishi's painting of shrimp has even been compiled into the textbook of primary school students, which has a far-reaching influence.

Although there are only three shrimps in the painting, it is a rare and good painting.

In Qin Shi's opinion, his "Shrimp" is definitely no worse than those masters who have been famous in the painting world for a long time, not to mention millions, 500,000 is definitely worth it.

It's just a pity that these people only see that the author of this painting is themselves, but they do not carefully analyze the intrinsic value of this painting.

"That's it, let's miss the auction, anyway, there will be a day when they will be dumbfounded."

It's already half a minute, and there is still no one bidding, according to the regulations, if no one bids for a minute, this collection will be judged to be unsold, Qin Shi didn't have any expectations, and said silently in his heart.

"I'm tens of seconds, and if no one has participated in the bidding, then I can only declare the collection unsold."

Although the scene was a little embarrassing, the auction still had to continue, and Zhang Lin followed the process, so he announced.

“10，9，8，7……”

Zhang Lin has already started the countdown.

"I'll give fifteen thousand."

Just when Zhang Lin counted to 6, someone finally raised the sign and quoted his price.

Hearing that someone made an offer, everyone's eyes turned to the bidder, and after seeing who was bidding, everyone's eyes became amused.

"Liu Bowen."

Qin Shi looked at the person who was bidding, and it was Liu Bowen who had made things difficult for him before, and he suddenly sneered a few times in his heart.

He knew that Liu Bowen's bid was not to help him get out of the siege, but to make himself more and more encircled. (To be continued.) )
