Chapter 314 One after another, draw who falls
readx;
Whoever knows the grand occasion on the Internet, Li Mobai expressed his gratitude on the scarf, and at the same time once again called for not blindly chasing stars, but more confident and broad-minded, don't be blinded by the 'Da Vinci's tears'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mr. Daqian's "Yangtze River Miles" under the operation of Sotheby's Hong Kong has once again become the hottest topic in the circle, if you don't talk about Mr. Daqian, don't talk about "Yangtze River Miles", it has already shown that it has been eliminated by the circle, this phenomenon is not only in the Chinese circle, but also in Europe and the United States, Mr. Daqian is the only painter in China who really has an international reputation, not the paper tigers that Ullens has supported in China in recent years.
Li Mobai stayed at home all the time, although he did not close the door to thank customers, but he rarely showed up, and he knew the current situation well, and he was exactly the same.
For Mr. Daqian's painting, the market is estimated at more than 500 million, and some people even think that it will break the world record of calligraphy and painting auctions.
After the end of his speech at Beijing University, Li Mobai's reputation reached a new height, but Li Mobai was more low-key, and almost declined all media interviews, but this did not prevent Li Mobai from being known and loved by more and more people, of course, the opposition still exists, but it does not affect Li Mobai's reputation at all.
In the midst of the discussion, the auction of Sotheby's Hong Kong was also officially unveiled, and Li Mobai did not go to the scene, and at this time, the on-site bidding was completely a live target.
Chen Runlin and others did not expect that the few lots sent by Boguge this time also attracted a lot of attention, and the attention was second only to Mr. Daqian's famous paintings, which really surprised a group of experts.
After a few warm-up lots, it was finally the turn of "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River", the auctioneer once again introduced the achievements of the painting and Mr. Daqian's international status, and finally announced that the painting would start at 50 million Hong Kong dollars, with a minimum price increase of 5 million Hong Kong dollars each time.
At this time, Sotheby's also received a call from Li Mobai, and when he learned that he could make a offer, Li Mobai quoted 600 million yuan.
"80 million Hong Kong dollars!"
The on-site quotation was also very intense, and they raised their signs, but the auctioneer only shouted the price once, and saw that the entrusted auction area had quoted 600 million yuan, and immediately announced loudly, "600 million Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Buzz!"
The audience was in an uproar, the highest price estimated by the market exploded at the beginning, everyone opened their mouths wide, and the highest price of Chinese art auctions was born, and the farcical sky-high price record of pastel hollow bottles in London was trampled under the feet from now on.
At this moment, everyone was silent, the surprise in their hearts could not be described in words, and the reporters were dumbfounded, there were not too many doubts about the new record that would be produced, but the record was broken directly, which was also too exaggerated, and they all guessed in their hearts who the buyer was.
Taiwan's Mu Qianli was also stunned when he heard the offer of 600 million Hong Kong dollars, the budget he prepared was 600 million, and this crazy guy actually shouted the price directly to 600 million, and he couldn't help but be depressed.
'HK$610 million! ’
However, in this moment of hesitation, the price actually climbed again, and it was also a telephone buyer, offering 610 million yuan.
When Li Mobai heard this offer, he was also puzzled in his heart, his momentum was enough, but he didn't expect that there would be a fart worm to stick to him.
"Li Mobai, in fact, you should have been higher just now, so maybe you could have won it all at once." Jiang Suhan grimaced beside him and whispered, he had no courage to fight Li Mobai.
The old man was also sitting by the phone, and he was also surprised when he heard someone following up, just now he felt that Li Mobai had exposed his combat effectiveness prematurely, but he didn't expect that as soon as he showed up, he would encounter a more violent resistance, and he was also speechless in his heart, it seemed that he was really a little conservative.
"HK$620 million!"
Li Mobai knew that another buyer had made a move, and the battle began in his heart, but he couldn't give you a chance to breathe, so he said to the phone, "700 million Hong Kong dollars!" ”
When the operator heard this, he hurriedly quoted the price quoted by Li Mobai, and the auctioneer had already focused all his energy on the consignment area at this time, and the three consecutive sky-high prices were quoted by the consignment area, not to mention that most of the heavyweight buyers did not show up, and when they saw the price quoted by the operator, they raised their voices:
"700 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Hearing this offer, everyone was numb, not realizing that the quote was money, and it was just a number.
Mu Qianli was depressed, just now he had the mentality of fighting, maybe the previous offer just now was the highest price, but he didn't expect that he had just quoted, but the other party counterattacked more strongly.
The offer of 610 million was a speculator in Shencheng, who saw that he had suffered a strong counterattack, and he was also stunned in his heart, what is wrong, this is money, not paper and not a string of numbers!
Just when everyone thought that the dust was about to settle, another operator in the consignment area raised his hand to offer, and the auctioneer hurriedly quoted a new price, "750 million Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Wow!" The scene is already boiling, just now it was still a three-man competition, and now it has become a four-way cloud, and it is really the strongest of the strong.
Chen Runlin and Zhang Qun were extremely happy at this time, their hearts were raised in their throats, and they were thinking about whether the era of 1 billion yuan was about to be earned, and they hoped that the era of 1 billion yuan would have their own creation, and they couldn't help but pray in their hearts.
This price is a rich man from Hong Kong Island, and his strength is incomparable, and there is still a chance to break through 1 billion yuan.
Jiang Suhan saw that there was another strong opponent in the oblique stab, and glanced at Li Mobai, which means to say, why are you not as good as me now, show a little courage.
Li Mobai didn't make a move for a long time, but he was thinking in his heart, if there was only this one competitor left, he could fight hand-to-hand, or wait.
"760 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Sure enough, as Li Mobai expected, a new offer came out on the phone, which was the buyer who followed Li Mobai at the beginning.
At this time, all the buyers present were crazy, too crazy, it has exceeded 95 million US dollars, enough to shock the world, although there is still a distance from the era of 1 billion yuan, but it has broken the record in recent years, close to Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe", surpassing "Green Leaves and Buts".
Ren is the auctioneer who has talked about the big scene is also a little excited, the highest record of Chinese art auction, before the hammer has fallen, has been born.
Li Mobai is happy, it seems that it should be 'Er Liu' to hand over, Shencheng Liu and Hong Kong Island Liu both started with stocks, and they are both known as players at the level of stock gods, you fight, I'll rest for a while.
Mu Qianli was also a little numb at this time, although his own company is also an industry giant, but it is just a great man's OEM, if he pays more than NT$3 billion at once, it is really tight, rather than this, it is better to help the kid surnamed Li in the mainland, at least this kid is a real collector.
Thinking of this, he reported 800 million to the operator on the phone, and the operator trembled when he heard the words, and quickly signaled to the auctioneer, who was overjoyed when he saw this and said loudly, "800 million Hong Kong dollars!" ”
As soon as this price came out, all the participating buyers and reporters were not surprised, but they were looking forward to whether they could advance to the 1 billion yuan mark.
Through communication with the operator, Li Mobai had already guessed that it was Mu Qianli who shot again, and said in his heart that this old guy is really courageous, this is more than NT$3 billion.
After thinking about it, he still didn't make a move, Jiang Suhan was anxious, "I said, let you shout 800 million at the beginning, where are they arrogant now." ”
Li Mobai smiled, and said in his heart If I charge every time, people who don't know the truth will still think I'm a fool.
Hearing the offer of 800 million yuan, Shencheng Liu and Hong Kong Island Liu were silent at this time, Hong Kong Island Liu's abacus was also very shrewd, and he wanted to win it in one fell swoop at the last moment, but he didn't expect that there were still people who were more powerful than himself.
After thinking for a moment, he said into the phone, "810 million!" ”
When the auctioneer saw the operator's gesture, he also quoted a price of 810 million, and as soon as this price came out, someone immediately began to convert it into dollars, and was surprised to find that this was already the highest record in the world, surpassing "The Boy with the Pipe".
Immediately the audience burst into warm applause, although the gavel has not yet fallen, but the world record for art auction has been broken.
And the reporters have already thought of the topic for the news -- Zhang Daqian has surpassed Picasso and has begun to brew the content, and now there is no suspense, as for who the flowers will be, I don't know anyway.
Mu Qianli heard the new offer, and said in his heart that this painting was destined to be lost, this offer should not be the kid from the mainland, it seems to be Hong Kong Island Liu, forget it, I have already escorted a section, whether you can take it depends on yourself.
Li Mobai waited for a while, and when he saw that no one continued to follow up, he bid 850 million again.
The auctioneer saw the seat that was quoted at the beginning at this time, and suddenly quoted a high price again, and said in his heart that this should be Li Mobai from the mainland, so he said loudly, "850 million Hong Kong dollars." Then it was repeated again in English.
Seeing that the other party's firepower was still strong, Liu on Hong Kong Island thought about it and knew that it was hopeless, but at this moment, a seat that had never been quoted suddenly made a bid, and when he saw the situation during the auction, he shouted loudly, "880 million!" ”
Li Mobai heard that there was a new competitor and knew that things had changed, perhaps it was European and American collectors who made a move, after all, both the euro and the dollar were worth more than the yuan, so he thought about it and picked up the mobile phone on the table.
At this moment, someone suddenly raised a sign at the scene that had been silent for a long time, and the auctioneer hurriedly shouted loudly, "900 million, 900 million Hong Kong dollars!" ”
Everyone was paying attention to the competition for telephone entrustment, but they didn't expect that at this time, there were buyers on the scene who finally began to go crazy, not only did they make extraordinary moves, but also grasped the fighter just right, and they were scheming.
The four giants who took the lead were cut off at the last moment by the two dark horses killed in the oblique stab, and the rest of the time, it was two dark horses that were full of color in the competition.
When the buyer at the scene quoted 950 million yuan, Jiang Suhan saw that Li Mobai was still playing with his mobile phone at this time, and couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and offer, and if you don't shout the price, the transaction will be dropped." ”
Li Mobai smiled, "Don't worry, everything is under control." ”
As soon as Li Mobai's voice fell, the auctioneer at the scene saw that no one responded to the price, and knew that it was now a smooth entry into the 1 billion yuan mark, so he announced loudly, "950 million, transaction!" ”
