Ice!

The middle-aged Sean glanced around as if asking again, and couldn't help but flash a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, as soon as he came up, he was cold, but it didn't seem to be a good sign, he couldn't have lost the first lot in this black market auction, right?

"Mingluo, how is this thing?" This cold scene was that the entire living room was quiet, almost silent except for the sound of breathing and tea tasting, Huang Jingjing suddenly poked her head over and whispered to Zhou Ming.

Speaking of which, this Huang Dashao also has a lot of interest in antiques at this time, after all, he clearly knows that Zhou Mingluo is the owner of the water belt, and a water belt not only has immeasurable monetary benefits, but even under his Lao Tzu's efforts, it can bring him great political achievements.

And because he knew the roots, he knew that Zhou Mingluo only spent 1,000 yuan to buy it.

After being stimulated like this, it would be strange if he didn't have a little interest in antiques, plus he wasn't bad for money, and he didn't say anything else, and followed Zhou Mingluo to play beast fighting twice and picked up 70 million yuan for nothing, which was converted into more than 10 million US dollars, interested in money, Xiao Huang received an invitation to come to the black market this time, so he rushed over with cash, and he really wanted to take a few things to play.

It's just that he himself lacks the ability to appreciate, and he needs to rely on Zhou Mingluo, and when he saw this first lot, everyone didn't speak, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm not sure." Facing the inquiry, Zhou Mingluo glanced at Huang Jingjing before shaking his head slightly.

He was sure it wasn't a water hose, but he wasn't sure what it was.

Huang Jingjing was stunned again, and saw that the others in the living room were still silent for a while, before she suddenly raised her hand and said, "Ten thousand dollars, I want it." ”

"Okay, Boss Huang will pay $10,000, is there any boss who is willing to bid?" His voice was like a life-saving, which instantly made Sean overjoyed, Nima, he thought it would really be a failure, and finally someone was willing to bid, even if it was just the original price, it was good news for him.

After asking around, a blonde old man sitting on a sofa opposite Zhou Mingluo and a few people suddenly said, "One in one." ”

"Ten thousand twelve."

"I'll pay fifteen thousand dollars."

………… It's not like this thing is going to be auctioned, it's not like no one is really interested in him, and the time just now is just everyone brewing in private, or watching other people's reactions.

Zhou Mingluo couldn't tell what this was, let alone others, almost no one in the audience knew what it was, everyone was in a similar state, I couldn't be sure.

But even if you can't get it for just $10,000, people who can come here don't care too much, even if you lose money, it's nothing, if you buy it right, you can make a profit.

Of course, other people who are not sure are also very sensible, and clearly know that the probability of this is the real water belt will not exceed one in a thousand, so even if the competition is very reasonable, it is only an increase of one or two thousand dollars.

It lasted for a while, and when the price of the broken pipe was mentioned to be close to $30,000, the venue gradually became deserted.

"I'll pay thirty-five thousand dollars." Huang Jingjing also spoke again at this time, and suppressed all the objections in one sentence, 35,000 US dollars, which is converted into more than 200,000 yuan.

I can't be sure, only the one in a thousand possibilities, and the others are really a little hesitant.

After all, they have seen too many fake Dingshui belts, and among those fakes, there are also some real Xia Dynasty bronzes, maybe they have also received a few similar things in their hands, even if they are interested in the one in front of them, they think they can give it a try, but they will not be too concerned.

"Thirty-five thousand dollars, Boss Huang bid thirty-five thousand dollars, is there any boss bidding?" Sean also opened his mouth excitedly again, and after asking twice, he saw that everyone else had the intention of making a move again, so he turned to Huang Jingjing with a smile and said, "Thirty-five thousand dollars, this broken water belt belongs to Boss Huang." ”

Xiao Huang stepped forward with a faint smile and took the thing away, and at the same time, the girl sitting on his side also opened the box, took out a few stacks of neatly bundled banknotes and handed them over.

Naturally, Xiao Huang didn't need to bother with checking and counting money, and when he came back with the broken pipe, he saw Zhou Mingluo's slightly surprised expression, so he laughed in a low voice, "You are my idol in terms of leak detection, and the things you can't get are definitely worth buying, and it's worth it to lose." ”

Zhou Mingluo, who said it in one sentence, was speechless, and he became his idol?

Not to mention, if Zhou Mingluo publicized the fact that he had found a water belt with a leak detection of 1,000 yuan, I am afraid that he would immediately become the idol of countless people.

More than 200,000 bets on an antique that Zhou Mingluo couldn't see was worth it at least in Huang Jingjing's eyes.

"The appetizer has passed, the last thing you may not be sure of, this time, I believe you will be interested, the following is to invite us today's second lot, [Suzanne out of the bath] picture."

Sean also smiled again and clapped his hands, and the blonde young man who had held out the water belt before walked out of the room again, this time holding a picture scroll in his hand.

But this time, Sean's words also made the living room stagnate, followed by another chaotic sound.

"Sean, you guys are really trying to tease us, aren't you? [Suzanne out of the bath]? Isn't that stored in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna? Damn it! ”

"[***], again, this damn Frenchman, is playing us like monkeys."

………… There were almost four or five people who spoke this time, all of them scolded in a low voice, and the others who did not speak, some of them were pensive, and some of them had gloomy expressions.

It seems that some people don't know the details of [Susanna's bath], but those who know the details see through at a glance that this girl must be a fake, and they don't need to look at it at all.

Zhou Mingluo was also puzzled at first, but after pondering for a while, he suddenly realized that this thing is not a classic work of Tintoretto.

Tintoretto is a great painter who belongs to the Western art world, and he really doesn't know much, after all, even in Chinese painting, he has only studied with Song Lao for less than a month, and his attainments are not very proficient, so how can he talk about Western painting?

But following Song Lao, who has studied both Chinese and Western, he now knows a little bit about Western calligraphy and painting.

This Tintoretto is really fierce.

How fierce? Now, many people may not know anything about this name, but if you mention it? Finch, I'm afraid many people will be familiar with it, right? Vinci's masterpiece "Mona Lisa's Smile" is probably known to women and children all over the world and is famous all over the world.

Reach? Vinci is known as the three masters of the Renaissance along with Michelangelo and Raphael.

The achievements of these three in art are definitely Taishan Beidou-level figures.

In the eyes of many artists in later generations, Tintoretto's [Susanna's Bathing] is definitely an artistic achievement that can be Michelangelo's role.

In Europe, this painting is definitely a national treasure, and if you compare it with Chinese painters, Tintoretto is definitely a fierce man comparable to famous painters such as Tang Bohu, and may even be stronger.

The significance of his classic works is definitely no less than the most precious calligraphy and painting in Tang Bohu's handed down works.

But the truth seems to be as the white man who got up and scolded before, [Susanna out of the bath] has always been stored in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the capital of Austria, and now Sean said that he took out a painting like this, no wonder everyone was indignant and cold.

Isn't it nonsense that you took out a water hose before, and even took out one of these things.

In the craze, Huang Jingjing was a little dazed and ignorant, just looked at Zhou Mingluo with puzzled eyes, and when Zhou Mingluo explained in a whisper, he suddenly realized, and looked straight at Sean, a little suspicious of what kind of trick Sean was playing.

Under the gaze of everyone, Sean smiled faintly, and only let the blonde young man open the scroll and carefully spread it on the long table in front of him, before he spoke, "Whether it's true or not, everyone will come up and take a look, but this is not the bronze just now, and the bosses who came forward to appreciate it had better not have physical contact with this painting, in case of damage, everyone's faces will not look good." ”

In a word, everyone in the room was suspicious, Sean was so calm, as if the pair in his hand was really the real Tintoretto, how could they not be surprised? Perhaps, even if the painting is not an authentic work by Tintoretto, but only a fake, it should be of great value.

Otherwise, Sean's expression would not be so calm!

In the midst of the suspicions, someone finally stepped forward.

Zhou Mingluo and Huang Jingjing also walked up at the same time, this [Suzanne out of the bath] is an oil painting, not too big but not too small, 154 cm long, 147 cm wide, at first glance it looks like a square.

The content of the painting is a naked beauty in the shadow of a tree, stepping into a calm stream, looking at the mirror in front of her, looking at the shadow of self-pity, but there is a bald old man sneaking under the bushes in the left corner to peek at the beauty out of the bath.

"Dizzy, it's so obscene."

After taking a look, Huang Dashao rolled his eyes directly and whispered softly in Zhou Mingluo's ear.

One sentence also made Zhou Mingluo roll his eyes violently, is this obscene? At first glance, this painting looks like an old man peeping at a beautiful young woman taking a bath, which is indeed obscene, but in fact he is telling a religious story.

Suzanne is the wife of the Oriental giant merchant Joaquin recorded in the Bible, kind and beautiful, loyal to her husband, one day bathing in the garden, was bumped into by two elders in the clan and had a silver heart, wanted to step forward to do something reluctant, was sternly rejected by Susanna, the two elders were afraid that Suzanne would expose her husband and expose their ugly deeds, so the wicked people sued first, framed Susanna for being unchaste, the dispute has been on the scene, Suzanne was sentenced to be burned at the stake, but later the matter was known by the prophet Daniel, the truth was revealed, and Susanna's grievances were served. The two elders were burned at the stake, and Suzanne became a symbol of the virgin in Hebrew folklore.

This is indeed the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, if it is placed in the ancient Chinese era, even if it contains a lot of myths and legends, I am afraid that those well-known painters will not just paint the legendary virgin nude and pass it on, but in Western oil painting, this is really not surprising.
