Chapter Seventy-Six: The Mysterious Bidder
The auction will still be held at the East Asia Hotel Convention and Exhibition Center, the central hall has been cleared, and a simple platform has been set up in the direction of the rostrum, and several rows of tables and chairs are placed under the stage.
Fang Zhenting sat in the second row with 6 Li, but 6 Li had no interest in auctioning calligraphy and paintings, and he didn't even pick up the number.
After a brief opening remark, Fang Gaizhi made a speech on behalf of the Calligraphers and Painters Association, which was nothing more than to explain the significance of the auction, and then thanked the entrepreneurs and business elites from all walks of life who were present, and hoped that everyone would actively bid for the auction and strive to help more areas suffering from drought.
After Fang Gaizhi finished speaking, the auctioneer immediately came to the stage.
A lady of etiquette took the stage with a painting, and the auctioneer cleared her throat and introduced loudly: ""Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", the work of Li Tian, a famous young painter in my country. His works are magnificent, especially good at landscapes, with a strong ancient style. After discussion by the Calligraphers and Painters Association, the reserve price of this work is 50,000 yuan, and the price increase is not less than 5,000 each time. The auction begins. β
"Fifty thousand."
"Fifty-five thousand."
ββ¦β¦β
Listening to the sound of price increases, 6 couldn't help but feel a little funny.
The painting is only average in terms of water products, but the content of the painting is very popular with business people. Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, probably a man likes it.
"150,000 for the first time, is there anything higher? 150,000 for the second time, 150,000 for the third time. Congratulations on the 25th auction of "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". β
The auctioneer didn't seem to be enthusiastic, and took out the second calligraphy and painting, "Now the auction is the work of the young painter Hu Naimin." β
ββ¦β¦β
The auction went on and on, and the bidding was quite fierce.
For the guests participating in the auction, hundreds of thousands of dollars are just a small amount of money, and if you look at it yourself, you can get a good reputation, why not?
Of the more than 80 works, none of them were unsold at the end of the auction, and all of them were sold at high prices.
"The auction now is No. 85, which is also one of the finale works of tonight, "Molian" by the young calligrapher and painter 6 Li. The reserve price is 300,000 yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 30,000 yuan. The auction begins. β
Finally hearing his work, 6 Li quietly sat up straight, with more interest in his eyes.
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the scene was quiet at first, and soon someone raised a sign to offer.
"A million."
"Huh?"
Hearing this offer, the guests participating in the auction turned their heads to look behind them with a look of surprise.
Naturally, they don't take one million in their eyes, but the works auctioned before are only 900,000 at the highest.
After all, most of the calligraphers and painters participating in this exhibition are young people, and they may be somewhat famous in the circle, but they are not well-known in the whole of China.
As for those top calligraphers and painters who have been famous for a long time, they will not compete with young people at all.
For young calligraphers and painters, a work can be sold for 900,000 yuan, which is already a very good achievement. And 6 Li is the same, he is young, his reputation is not obvious, and he mentioned one million in the first bid, which is a bit exaggerated.
"Isn't that Mr. Xue? What does he mean by that? Soon someone recognized the bidder and whispered.
"I don't know. However, Mr. Xue has always been keen on charity, and this time there are calligraphy and paintings to take, so it doesn't seem strange to have a high price. β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing the discussion between the two behind him, 6 Li suddenly looked strange, he turned his head to look at Xue Weijun, only to see Xue Weijun nodding at him, and he was confident.
"Mr. 6, do you know Mr. Xue?" Noticing 6 Li's crying and laughing expression, Fang Zhenting asked.
"I've met once."
Fang Zhenting suddenly realized when he heard this, and secretly said that tonight's standard king may have to be 6 away.
Although this is only a small auction, being able to become the king of bidding will undoubtedly give 6 Li a great bonus to fame, and maybe he will become a leader among young calligraphers and painters.
"A million, a million, is there anything higher?"
The number soared threefold in an instant, and the auctioneer finally became enthusiastic and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, please note that the core value of this work is not Mo Lian, but this line of words. According to the chairman of the Calligraphers Association, his pen style is exactly the same as that of Fang Gang, one of the four great calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty, and even reaches the level of Cheng dΓΉ, which is fake and real. β
"Fake for real?"
Someone in the corner sighed softly, thought for a moment, and the man suddenly held up the sign and shouted, "One and a half million." β
"One and a half million, Mr. 5o asked for one and a half million, is there anything higher?"
"Three million."
Xue Weijun glanced at the man, looking a little surprised, but at this time, he couldn't care so much.
The day before yesterday, he transferred the Dapeiyuan soup he got from 6 to the patriarch Xue Renzhi, Xue Renzhi was overjoyed and took it on the spot, seeing that he was about to break through to the peak of the day after tomorrow.
As a result, his status in the Xue family can be said to be rising.
After this incident, Xue Weijun completely realized the mystery and strength of 6 Li, and it was rare to have a chance to please him, of course he couldn't let it go.
"Three million, three million." The auctioneer was completely excited, and shouted excitedly: "Let us witness the birth of a master of calligraphy and painting, even now, it is 6 leaves." β
"Three and a half million."
It sank, and the same sound came again from the corner.
"Coax."
This time, not only the auctioneer was shocked, but the guests present, one counts as one, and they were also deeply surprised.
In recent years, Huaxia has not produced million-level calligraphy and painting, but it is all famous, accumulated for decades, 6 who is it? They hadn't even heard of it before.
Everyone looked at the corner, and the guests who recognized the person who shouted the price were stunned for a moment, and secretly said in their hearts: "Why is he?" With his unprofitable style, can the man named 6 Li really become a master of calligraphy and painting? But that's not right! What he has done over the years, how can he not look like a long-term vision! β
Fang Zhenting suddenly had some ridiculous feelings at this time, he pointed to the corner, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. 6, do you know that person too?" β
6 Li turned his head to look, shook his head and said, "I've never seen it." β
"Never seen it?" Fang Zhenting said helplessly: "Today's auction is really strange. β
6 Li nodded approvingly: "It's a little strange." "Xue Weijun intends to curry favor with her, and it is easy to understand that the auction price is raised, but who is the other person? He really hadn't seen it.
On the other side, being pressed down again, Xue Weijun was slightly angry, Lao Tzu finally had the opportunity to pat himself on the back, do you dare to rob me?
"Five million."
"Five and a half million."
"Seven million."
ββ¦β¦β
"Nine million."
"Nine and a half million."
The man in the corner always maintained a faint voice, and there was no difference between more and less money.
Every time Xue Weijun raised the price, that person would definitely add an additional 500,000 yuan, which made Xue Weijun's scalp numb, gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to fight with the person who shouted the price.
At the same time, a thought arose in the minds of many people: "Crazy, they are all crazy." β
