All the buyers were dumbfounded, and they really created the highest price in the world; All the reporters were crazy with excitement, and the Chinese auction set a world record, pushing Chinese art to the top of the world in one fell swoop, which was definitely the blockbuster news on the front page.
As soon as the auctioneer dropped the hammer, reporters flocked to the buyers, but the buyers who won the first place refused to be interviewed, got up and left the auction, the reporters had no choice but to capture the back, and they were in a hurry to rush the manuscript, although the newspaper needed to wait until the next day, but the Internet was immediately uploadable.
Before the auction was completely over, the news that Chinese art had entered the HK$1 billion mark exploded in the online world, instantly sweeping the headlines of major websites.
Jiang Suhan was dumbfounded when he heard that the phone said that it was sold for 950 million, he originally thought that Li Mobai was going to make a move, but found that Li Mobai was still playing with his mobile phone, so he said, "Li Mobai, aren't you determined to win, why did you give up again, and you still have the heart to play with your mobile phone at this time?" ”
"Boy, are you ambushing again?" The old man is old and refined, and when he saw Li Mobai's appearance, he knew that Li Mobai had prepared all measures to deal with it.
"Huh? You let Xiaobai arrive at the scene, and then sneak up on them? Jiang Suhan also reacted, now Xiaobai has gradually assumed the responsibilities of Li Mobai's assistant, after the old man's reminder, Jiang Suhan naturally remembered that he had not seen Xiaobai since yesterday.
"Hehe, this is called not tired of cheating, the original plan was to let Xiaobai reach 1 billion yuan, and then I shot again, but I didn't expect Xiaobai to succeed and rob my play." Li Mobai: Hey, hey, straight.
"It's so cunning that you can't even hide it from me!" Jiang Suhan knew that Li Mobai had successfully succeeded, and immediately became happy, this price was indeed lower than the expected price.
After the buyers on the scene saw Xiaobai, they all felt very unfamiliar, but some people who were familiar with Li Mobai had already remembered that this was Li Mobai's bodyguard, and they knew that this was Li Mobai's success, and they sighed in their hearts, what a clever method.
After the auction ended, Xiaobai paid in full, took the famous painting worth 1 billion, and stepped on the plane to the capital, and Li Mobai couldn't wait to go to the airport to greet him in person.
The group waited at the airport like a triumphant hero.
Seeing Xiaobai and the two accompanying team members walking out, Li Mobai changed to greet him, "Hard work, congratulations on your triumphant return!" ”
"Bai Shao, it's all your clever arrangement, but it feels great!" Xiaobai had a smile on his face, although he had been on the plane for several hours, there was no trace of tiredness on his face.
Li Mobai took the safe like a baby and held it in his arms, as if he was holding his own child, with a happy face.
Back at the mansion, Li Mobai went into the study, picked up the lantern and enjoyed it at night, and the old man did not sleep, waiting to enjoy this famous painting up close, feasting his eyes.
The two baby sisters knew that the painting had been taken down by their brother, and they also slipped back from school excitedly, anyway, one day was the eleventh holiday, and the family was immersed in the pleasure brought by the famous painting.
"Chinese Art Enters the Era of 1 Billion Yuan"
"Mystery buyer spends 1 billion yuan to buy Zhang Daqian's famous paintings"
"The world's most expensive famous painting is 1 billion yuan!"
Domestic reports have hardly uniformly reported the news, including the Xinhua News Agency.
Foreign media are no exception, reporting the news in important positions, the most representative reports such as the Associated Press - China leads the world; AFP - Zhang Daqian's famous painting won the world's first; BBC - World Records Made in China; ………… All of a sudden, the eyes of the world were attracted by this sky-high price, 136 million US dollars, which is rare in the mature collection market in Europe and the United States, and the most expensive Picasso painting is only 106 million US dollars.
Many gringos, who don't know about China at all, now know about China through this news, and they have become interested in China; Many foreign devils who had always thought that China was as backward as North Korea suddenly found that China was not what they imagined it to be. Of course, there are many radical organizations that take pride in attacking China, and all kinds of strange words are not uncommon.
Because the reporters exposed Xiaobai's photo, although Xiaobai was wearing sunglasses, there were not a few people who knew Xiaobai, and more people understood that the painting had fallen into Li Mobai's hands, so everyone who thought they were qualified to talk to Li Mobai called Li Mobai to congratulate him.
During the entire eleventh holiday, Li Mobai didn't go anywhere, and stayed with this painting all the time, Jiang Xuhan except for going shopping with his two baby sisters, and the rest of the time was with Li Mobai, and the rest of the time was quite nourishing.
However, during the eleventh period of the whole mansion, it was like a market, and the old guys of Bogu Pavilion and Shi Qingshan came to visit the door one after another, the purpose was to gamble on the true face of Mr. Daqian's famous painting.
However, Shang Shan and others came to Li Mobai's mansion the next day, named Daohe, and they actually came to appreciate the paintings.
Li Mobai did not participate in the auction of He's jewelry in the capital, but he also achieved brilliant results, and the turnover was not inferior to the first auction in Shencheng, when the auction ended, when Han Dong called Li Mobai excitedly, Li Mobai could feel Han Dong's voice trembling.
As soon as the holiday ended, Li Mobai published an appreciation of Zhang Daqian's famous paintings on his blog, in which dozens of Zhang Daqian's famous paintings were analyzed, among which "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" occupied a lot of space.
As soon as this article came out, it undoubtedly announced that the painting was owned by Li Mobai, which caused a lot of discussion among the people. However, this article is deeply appreciated by the calligraphy and painting circle, the article comprehensively analyzes Zhang Daqian's painting style, as well as Zhang Daqian's artistic accomplishment, Li Mobai with profound knowledge of the side, widely quoted, sprinkled tens of thousands of words, not only clearly discussed Zhang Daqian's achievements, but also through the comparison with ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting and Western oil painting, it proves that Zhang Daqian is the first person in the contemporary painting world, but also shows why Zhang Daqian can become the first person.
In this article, Li Mobai has indeed put a lot of effort into appreciating almost all of his treasures, so as to summarize it, how can it not be wonderful.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire Chinese painting world was deeply shaken, this truth is actually understood by everyone, but no one is willing to say that the impetuous society always needs to reflect, and although Li Mobai did not criticize the contemporary painting world, he really slapped the contemporary painting world hard.
Even so, no one dares to stand up and PK with Li Mobai, one Li Mobai's fan base is really filmable, and the other is that what Li Mobai lists is true, without a trace of untruth, at this time, standing up against it is completely branding himself as an unlearned and unskilled label.
This article was soon approached by the editors of the core academic journals in the Chinese painting industry, hoping that Li Mobai would agree to publish the full text, but Li Mobai did not hesitate and readily agreed.
There are also well-known foreign art journals that find Li Mobai and hope to publish Li Mobai's articles, and Li Mobai naturally agrees and translates them into English himself.
Li Mobai has already done all the things that need to be dealt with urgently, except for the media reporters who are tired of calling every now and then to invite Li Mobai for an exclusive interview, what makes Li Mobai cry and laugh the most is that a satellite TV station famous for entertainment programs also sent an invitation, hoping that Li Mobai would participate in their program.
Li Mobai refused politely, it is impossible for you to take all the benefits alone, then God will be jealous.
However, in October, Li Mobai agreed to the invitation to give speeches from Qincheng Jiaotong University and Shencheng Fu University, and the two speeches were still very popular, although they were both speeches, but Li Mobai except that the speech style was interactive, but the content was completely different, which made the students on the scene addicted, if the content was the same, it would not be Li Mobai.
In addition to two speeches, Li Mobai still lives reading, writing, painting and painting every day, and sometimes accompanies the old man to drink tea and play chess.
Jiang Suhan's lower abdomen is now bulging, even if it is 66 style, it is impossible, Li Mobai couldn't help but regret a little, he knew that he must have put on a raincoat at that time, and he would not marry his daughter-in-law now but still be angry.
With the cooling of the auction of Zhang Daqian's famous paintings, and Li Mobai always politely refused to be interviewed by reporters, the reporters who came to Li Mobai's mansion to block them gradually disappeared, and the domestic reporters disappeared, but Jennifer of Time Magazine came to the door.
Jennifer came to visit with a grin, but Li Mobai was not easy to refuse, after all, he had refused many times, and even many domestic reporters said when they joked, 'What is it if you are rejected, the big reporters of Time Magazine don't know how many times they have been rejected', although it is a joke, but it also proves Jennifer's perseverance from the side.
Generally speaking, foreign journalists, except for paparazzi and reporters who serve political parties, the professional ethics of neutral journalists are many times better than that of domestic journalists, such as Jennifer, although she always refuses, but she has always understood China and Li Mobai, and has done enough basic skills so as not to annoy the interviewees.
When Jennifer visited, she was ready to be rejected, and she already knew that the answer to any reporter who came to her door to interview would always be 'Bai Shao is not there' or 'Bai Shao is very busy'.
However, what Jennifer didn't expect was that Li Mobai actually agreed to meet, and under the guidance of the servant, he came to the living room of the square, and saw Li Mobai sitting in the living room drinking tea.
"Mr. Li, thank you for hosting me in your busy schedule." Jennifer said with a smile on her face in broken Chinese.
"Welcome, welcome, please sit, please sit!" Li Mobai didn't hold it up, got up and greeted him, "But you still speak English, the Chinese you speak sounds more like a foreign language to me." ”
When Jennifer sat down, Li Mobai said in English, "Ms. Jennifer, please drink tea, this is Wuyi's big red robe, I hope you like it." ”
"Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you again, and it's an honor to sit down and drink tea with you!" Jennifer did not show off her Chinese again, but said in English, "I came to visit you this time, or I hope you can accept my interview." ”
Although Jennifer has done her homework, she still does not understand the habits of the Chinese thoroughly, and she will talk about the right thing when she comes up, but Li Mobai does not care, Westerners have always said the right thing first, "Miss Jennifer, I am sorry, although Time Magazine is the most influential weekly magazine in the world, but it does not understand China, nor does it understand me, I don't want others to misunderstand my views." ”
Li Mobai was not polite, but directly stated the reason, the media are all for the political party, many times they will always take things out of context, for large media, the interviewee can not decide that the sentence he said will be adopted, and he will be ruined if he is not careful, especially for Li Mobai now.
"Mr. Li, I think you still misunderstand us, and it has always been our aim to report important news events fairly and objectively." Jennifer saw that although Li Mobai still refused, she did not give up, "I have been getting to know you for a few months, I have read every article on your blog and scarf, I am also a fan of yours, under your influence, I have developed a strong interest in Chinese culture, I believe that Americans are the same, after they get to know you, they will also like you, and they will also like China, a peace-loving country." ”
Jennifer began to be honest and seductive, and then talked about Li Mobai's articles and opinions on blogs or scarves, and even talked about the cognition of Chinese culture.
Li Mobai sat there and listened to Jennifer without saying a word, until Jennifer's mouth was dry, and Li Mobai said, "Miss Jennifer, thank you for your understanding of me personally and Chinese culture, I'm afraid I will still disappoint you, because I am just an ordinary ordinary person." ”
It's not that Li Mobai is hypocritical, in Li Mobai's opinion, even an interview with Time Magazine is not unusual, unless it can be on the cover of Time Magazine, it is still a bit valuable and can expand his influence.
Besides, this is only the beginning, and there are no too dazzling achievements, which does not have much practical significance.
"No, no, you are not an ordinary person, you are an idol of contemporary Chinese youth, and if you are in the United States, you must be the favorite cover character of major magazines and the darling of the media industry." Jennifer saw that she had been talking for a long time, but Li Mobai still refused, quite unwilling, "Mr. Li, do you know that you will be able to appear on the cover of this magazine." ”
"Maybe for the entertainment details, I will be grateful to know that I can be on the cover of your magazine, but I don't think there is anything, but I am very grateful to you and your magazine for your attention to me." Li Mobai smiled, and his heart really said that if you want to strengthen the country, you must first strengthen the hearts of the people, otherwise no matter how good the economic development is, there is still a lack of the foundation of a strong country.
"Mr. Li, do you think that being on the cover of Time Magazine with the theme of 'China Leading the World' really doesn't help you at all in what you're doing?" Jennifer saw Li Mobai refuse again and made the last killer move.
