Chapter 214: Brother Lang is a Wave, But He Is Not Stupid!
"Say, this guy is doing this? It's clear that I'm going to disgust you. Dumbfounded, Jin Zaixing was leisurely and complacent, the corners of Huang Jingjing's mouth were crooked, and he whispered in Zhou Mingluo's ear, "What do you have to do with him?" ”
This must be a holiday, otherwise the other party would not be so bad.
Zhou Mingluo also narrowed his eyes, very speechless, he originally thought that the last incident was over, after all, Jin Zaixing is disgusting enough in the quarrel, and he also scared the other party a lot, so forget it, but he didn't expect the other party to be obviously unwilling to forget it.
In the auction situation, it is definitely looking for a draw.
Even Sean, who was presiding over the auction, looked at Kim Jae-xing a little speechless at the moment, this ...... Isn't this guy mischievous, it's rare to see such a deliberately disgusting person at a black market auction.
However, I have to say that as the initiator of this auction, he is willing to raise his hands to welcome such a guy, no matter whether the other party is mischievous or not, as long as he bids higher than Zhou Mingluo, then Boss Zhou must bid again if he wants to win this thing, this is to create benefits for him, how could he not welcome it.
"Mr. Sean, it seems that there is no minimum raise limit for each time in this auction, right?" Seeing that a group of people were all eccentric, Kim Jae-xing smiled lightly and asked very comfortably.
Generally, regular auction houses have a minimum limit for raising every time, such as a minimum increase of 1,000 or 10,000 at a time, etc., but few people will deliberately mention such a quota in such a black market auction.
"Yes, it wasn't that way in the auction before." Sean also smiled and spoke, looking like a wry smile, but in fact he was really laughing.
Let's fight, the more you fight, the biggest profit he makes, right?
"Said, if you really come like this, Mingluo, we will also add it piece by piece?" As soon as she heard Sean's words, Huang Jingjing was immediately angry, but she had nothing to say, but it's not just Jin Zaixing who can add it piece by piece, right? They can too.
"I'll pay $3.5 million!" Just when Huang Jingjing's words landed and Zhou Mingluo didn't answer, Mr. Caton suddenly raised his hand and directly jumped the disgusting number.
How could an old and well-fashioned Caton give up such a good opportunity? Originally, he had hesitated about Zhou Mingluo's wealth, and his confidence was a little insufficient, but now that Jin is doing such a trick, it is clear that he wants to go against Zhou Mingluo, so will the other party increase it after he increases the price? As long as he adds it, Kim Zaixing is estimated to add another piece, and he can't be so happy with his life and death, which will definitely bring great depression to the parties, and the competition confidence is also insufficient.
Of course, he has to take advantage of it.
The $3.5 million may have exceeded his initial estimates, but he still made more money than the regular channels, and he could try again.
After Caton spoke, Jin Zaixing immediately looked at Zhou Mingluo again, with a proud and happy face, making it clear that as long as your surname Zhou is added, he will also be added.
It's not just disgusting to you, it's going to snipe you.
Zhou Mingluo was speechless, and looked at Jin Zaixing very painfully, this guy is really obscene, do you want to compete now? If you compete, the other party will come like that as soon as the price is raised, so that he still can't get the painting, and if you don't give up at a higher price, you feel a little pity, that [Suzanne out of the bath] is really worth the acquisition.
This ronin!
Of course, he can actually add one by one as Huang Jingjing just said, but now if he does that, he will undoubtedly offend Caton greatly, because the last bid just now was Caton.
Jin Zaixing is disgusting to do that, the two have some grievances, and the other party is not afraid of offending him so much, so he naturally has no scruples, but there is no grudge between him and Caton, if he does this, he will inevitably make the other party turn his face, it is not wise to provoke an enemy in vain, even if he doesn't need to be afraid of offending Caton, even if the other party is a cow, he should also be a cow abroad, and the threat to him is very low, but the problem is that this is not just a matter of provoking an enemy in vain, he also adds a piece, Wouldn't it be possible to add a piece after the anger of Caton?
In that case, I am afraid that this painting will really become a big problem, and he may not be able to get it in the end.
"I said."
scolded in a low voice, Zhou Mingluo really hesitated.
"Boss, do you want me to kill him?" Looking at the triumphant Jin on the other side, and then looking at Zhou Mingluo's tangled expression, Wang You'an on one side suddenly stuck to Zhou Mingluo's ear, and whispered lightly.
Zhou Mingluo, who said one sentence but said it, couldn't help but roll his eyes and kill him? I'm just a little bit of a dislike with this guy.,If anyone has a little quarrel with him and kills the other party.,It's too.,How many opportunities do people have to have small quarrels and small frictions with how many people in this life?,Will you kill one yourself when you meet one in the future?
Isn't Sister Wang adding to the chaos, she has some bad ideas, and she is not a bloody butcher, if she really wants to kill the other party, do you still need her to speak.
"Mr. Caton is bidding $3.5 million, is there any boss willing to bid?" The thoughts of everyone present have already been clearly seen by others, knowing that Zhou Mingluo was a little big by Jin Zaixing's powerful silver aura, and he couldn't make up his mind, although Sean regretted it in his heart, he still quickly smiled and spoke.
After all, the auction he presided over will continue, right?
After asking twice, no one spoke, and Zhou Mingluo didn't continue, so Sean had to continue to smile and say, "Okay, this [Suzanne Out of the Bath] painted by Master Rubens is officially owned by Mr. Carton." ”
"Thank you, I agreed." Caton also got up with a happy face, first smiled at Sean, and then smiled in the direction of Zhou Mingluo, with a hint of happiness in his eyes.
He was really happy to finally get this painting, but for Jin Zaixing, the biggest contributor to helping him get this painting, he didn't take a second look at it at all, he was also disgusted with such a villain, today he can disgust Zhou Mingluo, if he has friction with the other party next time, the other party may not be so disgusting to him.
He doesn't mind taking advantage of this kind of person when it's useful, but it's usually good to stay away, but for Zhou Mingluo, he feels deep sympathy, it doesn't matter if he offends people, who doesn't have one or two wrong people in the world? The problem is that there is a holiday with such a prodigal guy, which is really speechless.
Facing Caton's smile, Zhou Mingluo smiled helplessly, this painting still couldn't be obtained, but there was no way, what could he do to kill such a slut? Although he said that he didn't want to kill people or anything, because he couldn't do small things, he really wanted to give the other party a thunderbolt.
But this can only be thought about, the talisman in his hand [Tutian Fu] can't be used casually, the [Flowing Water Fu] is a little distressing and wasteful to use, because it is a life-saving thing, as for the [Heavy Thunder Fu], the current is too small, although he still has a [Heavy Thunder Fu] in his hand that absorbs the heavenly thunder I don't know the power, but that can't be used now, isn't it, in case the power is really not small, with a hand raised out of thin air to release a heavenly thunder to split Jin Zaixing into slag, what do the other people in the room think? Are they all gone?
And maybe Jin Zaixing's profligate aura was too strong, and when he saw Zhou Mingluo's depressed mess, he smiled directly at Xiao Zhou, and seemed to be very satisfied with what he had just done.
"Nima, you just waste, wait for you to fall into my hands and you won't be able to cry." This toothy smile showed a good mouthful of white teeth, but Huang Jingjing, who also saw it, rolled her eyes violently and scolded secretly.
"Although there are some twists and turns in the auction [Susanna's bath], but it is finally a complete shot, and now we are invited to the third auction item today, which is also a painting, but it is estimated that this painting Boss Zhou and Boss Huang may be more interested, and the following is please [Creek Bank Map]."
Sean said a word, and several people around looked moved again, but this time no one said anything, and they all watched intently as the blonde youth from before took out a scroll of paintings from the back room again.
Zhou Mingluo's heart is also full of thoughts, [Creek Bank Map]? Whose [Creek Bank Map]?
The most famous [Creek Bank Map] in history is made by Dong Yuan of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the fifth generation, and the other is made by the five generations of Juran monks, these two are awesome figures, Dong Yuan is regarded as the founder of the Southern School of landscape painting, it is he who created the genre of Southern School of landscape painting, and the Juran monk is to follow Dong Yuan to inherit and develop the Southern School of Landscape, it can be said that two are the originators of the mountain, and the other is the successor to carry forward the flow of the auction, and later generations are called "Dong Ju" and the two.
Landscape painting is undoubtedly the most important category in ancient Chinese painting, and this category is only two divisions of the northern school and the southern school.
However, the two of them seem to be abroad, Dong Yuan's one is stored in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the one of the Juran monk is said to be in the hands of a private collector in the book, and in the early twentieth century, the painting was handed down to the book and never appeared again as if it had evaporated from the world, and later it was said to be stored in the hands of the Saito clan of the Sato clan of the book, but whether it is there now, no one knows, after all, it is just some rumors.
Could it be the work of Juran? After all, it is not very difficult for a European black market merchant like Sean to get something from an American museum, but it is much easier to find something hidden in the hands of a private collector.
Zhou Mingluo's thoughts may also represent the thoughts of most of the people present, after the blonde young man carefully stretched out the [Creekbank Map] flat on the table, without Sean saying more, the crowd naturally surrounded him.
This is a very proper painting framed, there is no style at first glance, and there is no record of the past dynasties, the painting method is vigorous, the brush and ink are heavy, the mountains and mountains are stacked, the strange peaks rise, the smoke forest is clear, it is really a good landscape painting, there is a big seal of "the treasure of heaven" in the upper right corner, there is a half seal of the Ming Discipline Department in the lower right corner, it can be seen that it is collected by the internal affairs office of the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
After a general glance, the other people who came up were still watching carefully, carefully distinguishing the authenticity of this picture, but Zhou Mingluo was stunned, others looked at the painting as a painting, he looked at the painting, but at the same time he could see through its humanistic fire.
This [Creek Bank Map] does not have a humanistic fire, but the strange thing is that under the Creek Bank Map, there is a humanistic fire, and there is a painting in the painting!
In the picture, Zhou Mingluo's [Fire Separation Talisman] could not be seen through, so the next moment he directly slapped a [Seeking Talisman] into his body, and only after his eyes could see through the surface of the stream bank diagram did he find at a glance that the lower part was the same landscape painting as the above.
The two paintings are one outside and one inside, and at first glance they are really the same, but after careful subdivision, he found that the painting below is much higher than the [Creek Bank Map] above in terms of overall artistic conception.
It has a sense of dynamism, as if the landscape in the painting jumps out, making people really seem to see a majestic mountain, this kind of ability to really show the real self-painted works, really show the ability of realistic landscape artistic conception, I am afraid that only real masters can make it.
"This is the real [Creek Bank Map] made by Juran, the one above is just a fake. It is said that Juran's [Creek Bank Map] has disappeared without a trace in the future......"
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but Zhou Ming made up his mind that he must take this painting himself, if Jin Zaixing that ronin is mischievous again, even if he wastes a few talismans, he will make the other party unable to take care of himself again.
It was also when Zhou Mingluo was sure that this painting was a river bank map made by Monk Juran, and the fire of humanity that was originally only in its primitive state on the picture immediately became hot and expanded, and instantly broke through the limit of the fourth-level antique, becoming similar to the previous [Suzanne out of the bath].
The authentic works of the founder of the Southern School of Chinese landscape painting, or the work after the completion of painting skills, are indeed worth that price.
And it was also at this time that Sean paid attention to examining the faces of everyone present, and when he saw that most of the people in the group were frowning slightly, or their faces were casual, he suddenly sighed in his heart.
Of course, he also knew that the painting was a fake, but the fake was also extremely realistic, and the guy who was the best at appreciating Chinese landscape paintings in their black market gang was almost eye-catching, so he thought that he could take it out and show it to the people, but he didn't expect it to seem to be seen here?
Even, even those two Chinese were indifferent? Could it be that they see it too?
If so, then if he quoted too high a price, he wouldn't be able to sell it.
"Okay, this [Creek Bank Map], the reserve price is 100,000 US dollars, is there any boss willing to bid?" Originally, I wanted to quote a price similar to the previous Suzanne bath, maybe I could still be blinded, but it can be seen that most people seem to see the clue, and Sean's low price has also plummeted.
Of course, he couldn't have quoted too low, say a thousand or a few thousand dollars or something, that's.
After all, although they are all shrewd people this time, what about next time? If he can't sell it this time, he will have a big deal to put the painting away and sell it next time, and he will do a black market auction, but this time it will not be worse.
100,000 US dollars can be pitted to people, and the pit will not be talked about next time.
After these words, a group of people who were originally appreciating all turned around and left silently, and sat back in their seats, smoking those who should smoke, drinking tea when they should drink tea, but no one bid, Zhou Mingluo also slowly sat back, although he made up his mind to take down the painting, but he was not in a hurry before no one spoke.
And now he also feels that it is estimated that many people present know that this is a "fake".
You must know that the external landscape painting of the river bank is painted with cooked rice paper, followed by the pasting of general calligraphy and painting, and the cooked rice paper is usually thicker, and they can never see that there is a mezzanine inside.
Several people present are like antiques and play collecting, so they must also have their own eyesight.
However, it is definitely a good thing that others see that this is a fake, so at least no one will compete with him for the real creek bank map.
In the excessive quiet, Zhou Mingluo also sat firmly and did not speak, there were only a few eyes sweeping around the venue, seeing this look, Sean suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, it seems that this time it is really going to be lost.
Then he can only put it away and take it back, and wait for the next black market auction to fool the others.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the venue, "100,000 dollars, I want it." ”
One sentence made Sean stunned, and when he looked at it patiently, he found that it was Zhou Mingluo who spoke, and Zhou Mingluo was beaten in the eye? The other party must have been eye-catching, otherwise he would not have spent so much money to buy a fake.
Even the others looked at Zhou Mingluo one after another, although everyone's eyes were calm, but what thoughts were turning in everyone's hearts were unknown.
"Okay, Boss Zhou bid $100,000, is there any boss willing to pay more?" Finally pitted someone, someone hit the eye, so there is no need to put it on the next pit, Sean opened his mouth overjoyed.
Even at this moment, he looked at Jin Zaixing with great expectation, didn't you have a holiday with Xiao Zhou, now that Xiao Zhou has made a move, you also speak, of course he doesn't care about Jin Zaixing's price increase, but as long as the other party increases the price, maybe Xiao Zhou will continue to increase, and it will be all profits.
Similarly, when Sean looked at him, Zhou Mingluo also looked at Jin Zaixing calmly, as if he was waiting for him to increase the price. Of course, it is impossible for him to watch this thing go unsold and be taken away by Sean again, although it is not cheap to buy a painting for 100,000 US dollars, but compared to its real value, it is still a big profit, and it is also a big leak.
It's as if Suzanne was bought by him for 100,000 US dollars just now.
However, he was a little curious, and he didn't know if Kim Jae-xing would be so mischievous and so obscene with him this time.
But this scene made Kim Jae-xing pout and turn his head directly.
Continue to increase the price disgusting Zhou Mingluo? He's not so stupid, Susanna's bath last time was really worth it, after he increased the price and disgusted the other party, even if the other party didn't make a move, it was worth it for him to spend so much money to buy it, the problem is that he had already seen that this was a fake, if Zhou Mingluo retreated from the price increase now, wouldn't it let him spend 100,000 US dollars to buy a garbage.
And he even felt that this might be Zhou Mingluo deliberately pretending to be eye-catching, digging a pit and waiting for him to jump. Because he knows that the other party is actually good at appreciating cultural relics.
Brother Lang is a wave, but he is not stupid!
