Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sky-high Prices

Indeed, Xie Bin really didn't expect his work to be so popular, this is not the painting just now. The "Buddha jumping over the wall" just now was completely lifted by Li Jingjing and the owner of Ted Hotel, and the price of 1.15 million yuan is almost 1 million water.

But now for this ornament, Li Jingjing only had time to make a price, and was left behind by everyone.

Soon, the price came to more than 20 million. However, after exceeding 20 million, the rate of price increase has also slowed down, mainly concentrated in the range of private rooms 123 and two or three people in the hall, and when the price increases, it is also 501,000 million. But even so, this was enough to make Xie Bin laugh off his big teeth.

He Xie Bin is not very afraid of lack of money now, but this person is in a hurry to send him money, which feels very cool, especially since this was originally a loss-making business, but after passing through his hands, he actually earned it back, and he made a lot of money. The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is hard to describe.

In the end, the price of the No. 1 private room was 25 million. Sitting in the No. 1 private room is the old man Zhou Dejing Zhou, the head snake of the island city. As soon as Mr. Zhou's price came out, everyone calmed down, one was that the price was indeed about to peak, and the other was unwilling to really bid with the old man. In other words, if you really upset the old man, these people here have to be careful, and no one can ignore the existence of the old man.

But after all, this is not a war, it is just a bidding, and soon the No. 3 private room bid 25.5 million. In the No. 3 private room is Mr. Zhang, the boss of Haier. In fact, Mr. Zhang is not young, but he still looks so gentle and elegant, and his white face does not look like a sixty-four-year-old man at all.

In other words, Xie Bin's future father-in-law can invite these people together, and this face and means are extraordinary. Not to mention anything else, this Mr. Zhang is in charge of such a large group, and he must be very busy, but he can find time to participate in this buying and auction meeting in person, I have to say that Li Guohui is very skilled.

After the price war was concentrated on these two, the competition became even more fierce, especially Mr. Zhou, who bid very decisively. Every time Mr. Zhang made a bid, Mr. Zhou immediately followed, without a little hesitation or hesitation. After doing this three or five times, Mr. Zhang also saw that Mr. Zhou was bound to win, so he decisively gave up the bid.

The old auctioneer saw that Mr. Zhang had given up, and he didn't hesitate anymore, and knocked on the hammer hard, "Congratulations to Mr. No. 1 for getting this 'Lotus Pond Moonlight' as he wished, I hope the old man can have a successful Mid-Autumn Festival, and thank you all for coming to cheer, thank you, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

Everyone dispersed one by one, and Xie Bin saw off the guests with Li Jingjing and Li Guohui and his wife, especially several heavyweights, especially the mayor of the island city and the director of the Public Security Bureau. Although these two did not spend money to auction anything, they gave a lot of face, and Mr. Mayor and Mr. Director were sitting together in the No. 2 private room just now.

Of course, Li Guohui still arranged for Xie Bin to give some small gifts to the two drivers, as for what this little gift was, Xie Bin didn't ask much, anyway, it was either money or cards, or antiques or something like that. People in shopping malls have to be like this, even if Li Guohui has a very good relationship with Director Xue, these details have not been ignored. For the driver, in fact, it is for these two masters, unless the driver dares to embezzle secretly.

Speaking of which, this gift really has skills, a certain time in the hospital to see a doctor, a car accident family to a traffic police officer who came to make a record, in broad daylight, of course, so many patients' families and doctors and nurses in front of the gift to give gifts. Cigarettes are good smoke, two China, and hundreds, but no matter how willing the traffic police are, they don't dare to ask for it under the gaze of so many people, and they vigorously excuse themselves: "Don't, don't, it's not good-looking, it's not good-looking!" Xie Bin watched from the sidelines, secretly thinking, this family really doesn't know how to do things, you just quietly stuff it into the traffic policeman's car, it's really not good, you put the cigarette in a black convenient bag, and you can hide it a little bit. But this is an upright way to give gifts, and it's really ......

Of course, no one can be blamed for this, some families, especially people from rural families, really don't understand this, if there is no clever person to point out, they really can't give it away.

After the auction is over, send the guests away, and there is nothing Xie Bin to do, except for receiving money. The money for the "Buddha jumping over the wall" is not counted, only the 28 million sold for this piece of jade lotus pond moonlight, and the future father-in-law will not confiscate the handling fee. Xie Bin was not polite, and accepted it with a smile.

However, Li Guohui still arranged a task for Xie Bin, "Xiao Xie, you and Jingjing will send this jade ornament to Old Man Zhou, and say hello to me with you, hehe, the old man's evaluation of you is not low." ”

Xie Bin smiled and nodded, "The old man is also quite energetic, where do you live?" ”

"Jingjing knows, hehe, his old man has spent so much money, and it's worth your leg." Li Guohui said with a smile, he is still very satisfied with his son-in-law, the first time he saw such a scene, he can cope with it as easily as a fish in water, if he exercises again, he can really become a good helper.

Xie Bin didn't know what his future father-in-law had in mind, so he agreed with a smile, the staff is generally responsible for this matter, but he is also idle, it is good to see it, he is still very interested in that legendary old man. Old Man Zhou started as a fisherman, and it was much more difficult than Xie Bin, but now he is a character who can call for wind and rain in the island city.

Xie Bin packed the ornament, put it in the trunk of Cayenne, and then drove straight to Old Man Zhou's house. Mr. Zhou lives in the city center, it is a villa park not too far from the city government, a real good place to be quiet, the house here is not something that ordinary people can buy, the price is very high, and it is definitely the first highest price in the island city. But this environment has nothing to say, go out and turn right is the city government, and then walk around two laps is May Fourth Square, you can see the sea if you have nothing to do, and you can also go to Badaguan to walk around twice, there are two parks around, and they are also good places to go. The interior of the villa park is very quiet, especially the high and low trees and flowers almost cover the entire villa area, and the Buddha statue divides the park into two worlds, and the interior scenery can hardly be seen outside.

If it weren't for Li Jingjing's prompt, Xie Bin wouldn't have known that there was such a quiet and elegant place hidden in this downtown area. The villa here is an old house, with a strong Western style, which should have been left over from the time when foreigners were stationed. But it looks very elegant, with a different exotic style, which makes Xie Bin not envious.

The spacing between the villas here is very large, although it is not a single family and a single courtyard, but it is almost, very quiet, there are less than ten villas in the whole yard, and the low floor area ratio is scary.

Before arriving at the villa, Xie Bin remembered that Li Jingjing, a girl, could help him lift such a heavy guy. After this ornament was carved, there were still more than 310 catties, Xie Bin simply activated his ability and hugged it alone.

The old man in the living room was drinking tea, and when he saw Xie Bin and them coming in, he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Xiao Xie, really, I have to trouble you to send it over in person, hurry up, put it on the table," said and praised: "Good young man, my strength is not small, I thought I could run around with such a guy back then, but now I can't, hehehe." ”

Xie Bin put the ornament on the low table, which is made of solid wood, and the structure is also very stable, but he is not afraid of being crushed.

The old man stood up with a smile, "Come on, come on, take it apart and let me take a good look, I haven't seen it there, it's really a good thing!" ”

Xie Bin unpacked the package three times and divided five by two, and a crystal clear and exquisite ornament appeared in front of everyone. Several people in the living room gathered around, and praised the old man for his good eyesight and picking such a good treasure.

The old man was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Haier's Xiao Zhang still wants to rob me, hahaha, it's not that he's defeated." ”

Xie Bin sweated, if Mr. Zhang really wanted to rob you, it might not necessarily fall into your hands. But in terms of wealth, people are not necessarily worse than your old man Zhou. But I can't say this, the old man is so old, it's rare to be so interested, Xie Bin naturally won't say anything that disappoints the fun.

But this lotus pond moonlight is really very beautiful. When Xie Bin was carving, he wasted a lot of effort to carve the whole piece of material into the image of a large pond, flattened the top of the colorless part to make slight waves, and the colored part was made into uneven lotus leaves, and then carved a full moon in the pond, which is called "Lotus Pond Moonlight".

To put it mildly, the process is very simple, but it is not easy to really do, just those scattered lotus leaves, it took Xie Bin most of his time, these lotus leaves are not all lying on the water, but uneven, with budding flower bones. In order to carve the reflection of the full moon in the water, Xie Bin used the technique of using blank space in ink painting, carefully carving the green jadeite in the middle, so that the colorless jadeite below is reflected from the green lotus leaves, which is vague and has a little more charm of looking at the moon in the water.

Such a large piece of material, no matter from that direction, is so image and chic, like half of the lotus leaves in a pool of autumn water, and the most expressive round of bright moon plays the role of the finishing touch, so that this large group of jadeite almost comes to life.

The turquoise and transparent lotus leaf skirt is carved by Xie Bin using the openwork carving and round carving skills in the wood carving technique, each lotus leaf is lifelike, and the rich green brings out the original boring white over there, setting off the coldness of autumn water. Coupled with a small green and white frog at the edge of the lotus leaf, the vitality of the whole work has increased several times.

And in order to make this work better, it is also inseparable from Xie Bin's polishing and polishing skills. This kung fu looks like nothing, but after careful polishing, it reveals a vivid spirituality from the inside out. If the machine polishes, the whole body is the same, and it will be rigid, but Xie Bin polishes and polishes by hand, and deliberately polishes it in some places to blur, which makes the work more vivid, which is also what Xie Bin realized when he was polishing.

After all, a machine is a machine, and it lacks too much vitality compared to people, and it doesn't know how to be flexible. But when polishing by hand, Xie Bin can adjust it at any time according to the image needs of the work, making the artistic conception and expressiveness of the work deeper and stronger. Especially after Xie Bin's meticulous and orderly polishing, the surface exudes a faint fluorescence, as if it is a faint moonlight, and the colorless part also seems to have a little more texture, no longer a simple embellishment and background.
