Chapter 646: Auction

13th arrondissement of Paris, political axe building.

In the afternoon, an auction of some of the works on display is being held, after all, many of the works on display are not for sale, and only a small part of them are entrusted to the European Oil Painting Association for appraisal and auction.

Therefore, in the afternoon auction, there are still many collectors who participate. Since this is an auction organized by the European Association of Oil Paintings, it is natural that there will be absolutely no fakes.

However, Surin didn't have time to attend this auction. Although the painting "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" he painted in the morning is said to be auctioned as the last auction item of the finale, Chen Xueling is in a hurry to go back, and the ticket is also in the afternoon, so Su Lin naturally can't see with his own eyes who auctioned his "Eight Immortals Across the Sea".

"Dad, don't worry. I've just asked China to transfer another 100 million euros to us. Our bottom line is 300 million euros, and as long as it is within this range, it is definitely a good deal to shoot this piece. Although this is only a painting made by Sunny in the morning, it is a masterpiece that has been recognized and admired by so many experts. There are only two of these works that Sunny is known about, "She, She, She", which is said to be a billion euros in the Louvre's collection, and as long as we take it in the range of 300 million euros, it is definitely worth it. ”

The auction has begun, and the paintings on the stage have been bought at high prices, the cheapest of which has been sold for hundreds of thousands of euros, and the most expensive has so far reached 30 million euros. However, Qin Li, father and son, who were sitting at the bottom, did not raise their cards once. Now in their eyes, other paintings are not in sight at all.

When they came to Europe this time, Qin Li and his son brought 200 million euros because they knew that there was such an auction, but now they estimated that 200 million euros might not be enough, so Qin Li specially transferred 100 million euros from China in the morning. 300 million euros, which is the largest amount of money they can use within reason.

"Good! Dad believes in you, and he believes in the eyes of those collectors and great painters. 300 million euros is a lot of money for our Qin family, but as long as we buy this painting and give it to the old man. Compared to the old man, I will be happy......"

Qin Zesheng values the spirit revealed in this painting, which is very infectious, and he believes that as long as this painting is given to his father on his 80th birthday, his status in the Qin family will definitely be greatly improved.

The Qin family seems to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, Qin Zesheng has always been pressed by his eldest brother Qin Zeyuan, and he doesn't want to turn over and become the head of the Qin family all the time. So this time, on his 80th birthday, Qin Zesheng regarded this as the best time for him to perform in front of his father Qin Lao.

"Below, the last lot. I believe that many of the collectors sitting here have seen the birth of this painting with their own eyes in the morning. I also think it's incredible that there is such a genius painter in the East. This painting is "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" painted by the genius painter Sunny of China, with a starting price of 10 million euros and a price increase of no less than 5 million euros each time......"

As soon as the auctioneer's painting was finished, the people below gasped. The starting price is 10 million euros, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan! And the point is that this is just a painting that a young painter just painted in the morning, how can it be so valuable?

Although everyone knows that this painting will be worth a lot of money, they are really surprised by the starting price of 10 million euros.

However, those who knew the value of the painting didn't care what the starting price was, and soon, bidding began to sound one after another in the venue.

"Twenty million!"

"Fifty million!"

"80 million ......"

"100 million ......"

"150 million ......"

……

The price was quickly raised, and these great European collectors would not underestimate the value of this painting because it was written by a Chinese painter, because with the recognition of the entire European Oil Painting Association, the rarity of this painting has risen to the pen of Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh and other medieval masters.

"Two hundred and ten million! For the first time, is there anyone else called? ”

After the auction price reached 200 million, the shouting in the venue quieted down. After all, no one's money was picked up, although this "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" is precious, but after the price reaches 200 million, it is about to approach the market's recognition value.

This 210 million asking price was a bearded French collector Boole, and Qin Li recognized this big collector early on. This Boer can be said to be more famous in the whole of Europe, because Boole's vision is vicious, especially in looking at the appreciation of artworks, very tricky and accurate, basically he can stand out in various auctions, auctioning some artworks that are far undervalued.

It is precisely because of this that many people deliberately follow behind Bull's **, and when they see what artists or genres Bull has bought, they follow to buy them, and they have a lot of light.

And this time, when Qin Li saw that even the great collector Bull, who had always been shrewd, was so bound to Su Lin's "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", he affirmed the value of this painting even more in his heart.

"Two hundred and fifty million!"

Holding up the sign, Qin Li directly increased the price by 40 million euros. His bottom line is 300 million euros, so 250 million is still within his acceptable range.

"Two hundred and fifty-five million!"

When the big collector Bull heard Qin Li's bid, he frowned, hesitated, and only added five million.

"Two hundred and seventy million!"

Qin Li gritted his teeth and continued to add fifteen million, and now he and Bull were left on the field to bargain, and at this price, other collectors had already given up collecting this "Eight Immortals Across the Sea". And Bull has just added five million, which also reveals that his reserve price for this painting is about this level.

Sure enough, after Qin Li called for 270 million, Bull did not continue to bid for the price, so this "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" was finally bagged by Qin Li at a price of 270 million.

"Dad! Great, this painting is ours. ”

When the auction was over, Qin Li also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile to his father Qin Zesheng, "Presumably this time for the congratulatory gift sent to grandpa, our "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" must be the most eye-catching." ”

"Hmmm! Well done, Li'er, haha! Last time the old man celebrated his 70th birthday, my eldest brother gave me a birthday carving from the Song Dynasty, which made me lose face in front of the old man. This time, I see what the eldest brother can give more valuable and meaningful congratulatory gifts than our "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea......"

Seeing the filming of "Eight Immortals Across the Sea", Qin Zesheng was also in a good mood, and felt that this trip to Paris in Europe did not return empty-handed.

And in the Song family in the capital, Song Mingyi, the head of the Song family, asked his subordinates to invite the patriarch over, and at the same time, there was also the patriarch's ** Cao Ming.

"The head of the Song family came to me, what's the matter? Didn't you say yes? As for the assassination plan, should we plan it carefully after our 'Huashan Sword Debate' contest this time? ”

The patriarch's real name is Yuan Xing, and he was a famous martial arts master before liberation, but it was only limited to a certain range of famous martial arts masters. Because Mr. Yuan specialized in hidden weapons from the Tang Sect in the past, and was able to kill people invisibly, many of his ** were engaged in the killer profession. Therefore, the patriarch's subordinates are the largest killer institutions in China, and basically as long as they take orders, there is no task that cannot be completed.

This time, when the patriarch came to the capital, in addition to participating in the Huashan sword contest that had been discussed with a few old monsters, he accepted Song Mingyi's invitation to discuss the matter of cooperating in the assassination of some high-ranking officials of the central government.

"It's not a matter of the assassination plan, patriarch, please come over with Cao Ming this time. I want you to do me a favor before that. My son Song Jia, died tragically yesterday in Paris, France, and now the murderer has been found, and the flight will arrive at the capital airport at about ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I want Cao Ming to go out and help my son take revenge! ”

Saying this, Song Mingyi's two eyes were blood-red. He really didn't expect that his son Song Jia would die tragically abroad, or at the hands of Su Lin, a stinky boy, so no matter what, he would not let Su Lin go.

"Song Gongzi is dead? This murderer really doesn't know the height of the sky, the head of the Song family can rest assured, as long as we go out from Yuanmen, this person will definitely die. ”

Yuan Xing was also surprised, in his opinion, there are only a handful of people in China who dare to move the Song family, especially Song Jia, the eldest son of the Song family, as long as he shows his identity, I believe that as long as people with a little brain will not dare to provoke him, and now someone dares to kill Song Jia, it seems that this person is really alive.

"Master of the Song family, please also tell my apprentice Cao Ming about the name and main characteristics of the murderer who killed Song Gongzi, as well as tomorrow's plane flight, and leave the rest to him. I believe that tomorrow morning, within an hour of the plane just landing, this murderer will definitely turn into a cold corpse. ”

Yuan Xing is very confident in his big ** Cao Ming, although he is not as good as Han Shouyi's ** apprentices, but he has never missed since his debut, and the people who died in Cao Ming's hands don't know how many.

"His name is Su Lin, and he is a student at Qingbei University, but I heard that his martial arts are quite high, and it seems that he is the closing ......door of Han Lao Han Shouyi."

The Song family had already collected information about Su Lin, but that was limited to that. After they found out that Su Lin was Han Shouyi's closing door, they became a little jealous, so they invited people from Yuanmen to come. (To be continued.) )
