"Eight thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

……

As soon as Chen Zhong's words fell, the voices of bidding came and went. In all fairness, Meng Qing's painting is indeed of a high standard, otherwise, although today is a charity auction, and those invited to participate are also business elites, no one's money is blown by the wind, and no one wants to do anything with money.

Soon, the price was called to about 30,000 yuan. At Meng Qing's age, a painting can be sold for 30,000 yuan, which is already a very remarkable achievement, after all, although he has begun to emerge in the art world, his popularity in China is not high. The collection value of artworks has always been closely related to the reputation of the artist, and many bidders must also be optimistic about Meng Qing's future development space.

If Meng Qing becomes famous in the future, then the appreciation space of this painting is naturally huge.

The price reached about thirty-three thousand, and the sound of bidding began to slow down, after all, Meng Qing was just a fledgling young man, if it wasn't for the charity auction, it would be impossible for this painting to be called such a high price.

"Thirty-three thousand dollars, for the first time!"

……

"Thirty-three thousand dollars, the second time! Still have friends to bid? ”

Chen Zhong began to count down. At this time, a voice with a Yun'an accent sounded at table three:

"Fifty thousand!"

Chen Zhong suddenly perked up and exclaimed in surprise:

"Mr. Zhu at table No. 3 is asking for 50,000 yuan! Do you have any friends to bid? ”

"Someone actually called 50,000, it's really a lot of money......"

"You can't say that, it's hard to buy money and it's good to have a heart!"

The people below couldn't help but whisper. Meng Qing was also pleasantly surprised when he heard this offer, he was already very satisfied with the fact that he could have won 33,000. When he was abroad, he also put some of his works on consignment in a friend's gallery, and the expensive one was only sold for about 1,000 euros, after he won the award and gained a certain popularity in Europe. Before that, his paintings were not cared for at all.

Unexpectedly, someone actually bid 50,000 yuan this time. It seems that the Chinese people are still rich! Meng Qing thought in his heart.

Fang Yang looked thoughtfully at table No. 3, the Mr. Zhu, who quoted 50,000 yuan, was in a suit and leather shoes, and he looked like a successful person. Regarding the discussion of the people next to him, Mr. Zhu was very peaceful, with a smug expression on his face. His eyes often glanced in the direction of Table No. 1 intentionally or unintentionally, but it was a pity that Meng Guohua, who was sitting next to Master Bai Yan, looked at his nose and nose and did not react at all, which made Mr. Zhu feel a sense of regret in his heart.

Fang Yang immediately understood the reason, looked at Meng Qing, and saw that he was also looking over with a hint of triumph, and the expression on his face seemed to say: My painting has already been auctioned for 50,000 yuan, and I want to see what price your painting can sell for later!

Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh, this kid really thought that people liked his works! As everyone knows, this Mr. Zhu from Yun'an simply went to the black gauze hat on Meng Guohua's head as a member of the Standing Committee of the Yun'an Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda.

Auctioning this painting at a much higher price can not only win a good reputation for caring about charity, but also befriend a senior cadre like Meng Guohua, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and it is very cost-effective!

After Mr. Zhu bid 50,000 yuan, the sound of raising the price on the spot completely calmed down. This price has far exceeded everyone's psychological bottom line, and it is also an inflated price, so naturally no one wants to compete with Mr. Zhu.

"Fifty thousand yuan for the third time! Congratulations to Mr. Zhu, this portrait oil painting of Mr. Meng Qing already belongs to you! Thank you again for your interest and support for charity! Chen Zhong made the final decision and ended the auction of this first painting.

Mr. Zhu stood up, bowed slightly in all directions, and said in his heart that he didn't expect Minister Meng's son to be a painter, and this time it was finally worth the trip!

Miss Etiquette put the calligraphy work that Fang Yang had just created on the tray and took it up, and the whole picture of the work was also shown on the big screen behind her. Chen Zhong pointed to Fang Yang's work and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to auction the second work, which is from Mr. Fang Yang, a close disciple of Master Bai Yan. Everyone has seen Mr. Fang Yang's amazing table just now, and even Master Baiyan praised this work! And the content of the work is also very good, 'The mountains are high and the water is long, and the sun and the moon are long'! These two sentences very vividly reflect Mr. Fang Yang's heart for his mentor Master Bai Yan, and this work is very commemorative whether it is a collection or a gift. We hope you will bid! ”

Meng Qing's oil painting just now can be said to be a good start, and it also made Chen Zhong's expectations for Fang Yang's work rise a lot.

"Ten thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Eighteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

……

As soon as Chen Zhong's words fell, the sound of the price call immediately sounded intensively, and the price increased faster than Meng Qing's just now. In just a few seconds, the price was called 30,000, and it was still rising at a very fast speed, according to this situation, it exceeded Meng Qing's 50,000, which was no problem at all.

Those present are either sharp-eyed calligraphers or shrewd business elites, and they can naturally see the value of Fang Yang's work. Moreover, Fang Yang was a disciple of Master Bai Yan, while Meng Qing was a disciple of Master Bai Yan.

The seniority is there! Fang Yang's works are naturally more valuable than Meng Qing's.

Among the bidders were calligraphers, who really loved Fang Yang's work and hoped to buy it home and enjoy it slowly.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, the price exceeded 50,000 yuan and reached 53,000 yuan, and although the momentum slowed down a bit, there were still people who continued to bid and compete.

Meng Qing, who had just been happy for three minutes, was hit again at this moment.

Don't play like this! Meng Qing found that in the two days since he met Fang Yang, his life had been hit at every turn......

After the price was called to 65,000, the speed of everyone's price increase gradually slowed down, and it often took a while to think for a while before hesitating to bid again. In other words, the price of Fang Yang's character should be close to everyone's psychological high.

But even then, it's very, very remarkable. This piece of calligraphy is less than two square feet, and it was sold for 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, and the price of many well-known calligraphers' calligraphy is only that.

Fang Yang's heart is still relatively calm, anyway, no matter how much money he shoots, he can't get into his pocket, but he is also very happy to think that he can raise tens of thousands of yuan for the children in the poor mountainous areas by writing a few words by himself.

Just when everyone thought that the auction of this work was about to be completed, a person at table No. 2 suddenly held up a sign and said lightly:

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

This one price is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the entire banquet hall instantly resounded with many exclamations, which can no longer be described as a premium or inflated, it is simply a random quotation and a crazy quotation! Even the host Chen Zhong couldn't believe his ears, and he even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

After a while, Chen Zhong came back to his senses and exclaimed excitedly:

"One hundred and fifty thousand! Now it's 150,000! Is there a higher offer? ”

Chen Zhong is obviously very talented as an auctioneer, his voice is very excited, this kind of auction with sequential bidding is easy to make the atmosphere high, and this time the offer directly detonates the atmosphere!

Fang Yang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this familiar voice, and when he looked up, he saw that the guest who had just quoted at table No. 2 was also looking back at him, with a smile on his face. Seeing that it was indeed this person, Fang Yang couldn't help but feel weak for a while, because this person who spent thousands of dollars was Ning Qiaoqian's father, Ning Kuncheng.

Not long ago, he had just done something for his daughter, and now that he saw Ning Kuncheng, Fang Yang felt a little uncomfortable. He dodged his eyes and stood up and bowed slightly towards Ning Kuncheng.

There were so many people in the banquet hall just now, Fang Yang really didn't notice that Ning Kuncheng had actually come all the way to participate in this event. But it's normal to think about it, Ning Kuncheng's deceased wife Cheng Susu was an avid calligraphy lover before her death, after Cheng Susu's death, as he grew older, Ning Kuncheng's interest in calligraphy became stronger and stronger, and last time he also made a special trip to let Leng Jun fly to Rongcheng to ask for a painting of Master Baiyan's calligraphy to fulfill his deceased wife's wish.

150,000 is tantamount to a sky-high price, unless it is a calligraphy master like Master Bai Yan, the works of ordinary calligraphers will definitely not be able to sell at this price, so Ning Kuncheng got this character without any suspense.

Chen Zhong still underestimated the enthusiasm of these merchants for art collecting, and he was surprised and delighted that the works of the two young men fetched staggering prices one after another, so he began to publish the works of several other calligraphers while the iron was hot.

These calligraphers are well-known and relatively collectible, so the bidding is quite enthusiastic, and these works have been auctioned for very high prices, most of which are higher than their market prices.

Because today is a charity auction, everyone is in line with the idea of accumulating virtue and doing good, and the works of these calligraphers are indeed very collectible, so there is a lot less foresight in bidding.

The words of Master Bai Yan in the final finale have many responders. Master Bai Yan rarely participated in commercial activities, and in his later years, his works rarely flowed out, even if he created them at home, he destroyed them on the spot if he was slightly dissatisfied. This also leads to the fact that the works of master Bai Yan are extremely rare in the market, and the price is also high.

In the end, this painting was auctioned at a sky-high price of 800,000 yuan, and in the end, Ning Kuncheng still got his beloved work as he wished.

Fang Yang was not surprised at all by this result, because of Cheng Susu, Ning Kuncheng had a special love for Master Bai Yan's works, and Fang Yang knew that he had come for Master Bai Yan this time. And most of the words that took pictures of myself were just by the way, and it was also a kind of gratitude to me for asking for words for him last time.

Ning Kuncheng is bound to win Master Bai Yan's works, with his financial resources, even if the price is ten times more expensive, he will definitely not even frown, it is difficult to buy it with money!

And even if some of the others have more financial resources than Ning Kuncheng, it is not impossible to be so resolute in bidding, so it is not surprising that Ning Kuncheng won this painting.

The charity auction ended smoothly, and together with a total of 18 works by Fang Yang and Meng Qing, a total of 2.1 million yuan was raised, which can be described as a very complete success.

Next, there was a simple reception luncheon, and before the luncheon began, everyone had a lively exchange together, and many of the topics discussed revolved around Fang Yang.

Fang Yang's on-site creation just now is really eye-catching, and the work was auctioned for a high price of 150,000 yuan, which has far exceeded the average price of this auction. You must know that Meng Qing and the others are all very well-known people, even if they are not as good as Master Bai Yan, but they are all quite famous calligraphers in the country, and the price of Fang Yang's calligraphy is actually higher than these people, so it has naturally become a topic of conversation.

Fang Yang also stood up and walked towards the second table. Ning Kuncheng had already handed over the check and got the two words he had photographed today. Seeing Fang Yang coming over, Ning Kuncheng also stood up with a smile
