Fang Yi and Tony got out of the car and walked up the steps of the auction hall together, as soon as they entered the door of the auction hall, Fang Yi found that there didn't seem to be many people coming today, and most of the faces Fang Yi didn't know. Of course, such a scene is also understandable, these people are all here to shoot things, and most of them are not doing artistic work.

As far as today's auction is concerned, there is nothing too eye-catching, and most of them are naturally small, and there are not a few big fish covered in oil. In the past two years, it can be said that the auctions that Fang Yi has participated in have gathered a group of top high-rollers, of course, the newspapers say that these people are art patrons and the like.

This type of customer like today is the level of Fang Yi and his friends when they toured the United States for the first time.

Fang Yi doesn't recognize people, but it doesn't mean that others don't know Fang Yi now. As soon as he entered the door here, he hadn't walked a few steps yet, Fang Yi's eyes swept and he saw several people nodding and smiling at him, even if he didn't know Fang Yi, he had to smile kindly. However, there was no intention of stopping, and the two of them walked side by side towards the inside of the auction room.

When they arrived at the small exhibition hall of this lot, Fang Yi and Tony met Li Lin and Zhang Xu head-on.

"Why don't you wait for us to come along?" Tony asked curiously, looking at the two. Everyone lives in the same hotel, and they are on the same floor, and Fang Yi's car is so big, why don't the four of them come together.

Listening to the little secretary's translation, Zhang Xu looked around and saw that no one was gathered around, and couldn't help but make a joke with Tony and said, "We won't go with you, watch when you come in." It's so eye-catching, we wanted to keep it low-key. And it's so annoying to have him next to the thing we're going to shoot this time! ”。

Fang Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhang Xu say this, afraid that Tony would ask again.

But apparently Tony didn't mind Zhang Xu's words too much: "Then you'd better stay away from him." Everyone knows Yi, but as for those who know me, there is not one out of ten! ”。

Zhang Xu obviously didn't want to talk to Fang Yi and the two of them, so he waved his hand at the two and pulled Li Lin to continue shopping for the lots. Fang Yi and Tony simply left the exhibition hall and went to a lounge next to it, where they found a secluded corner and sat down to chat.

Fang Yi thought that the two of them would be able to find a so-called secluded corner and settle down, but he didn't expect that his reputation would shine like a bright fart in the night, attracting the attention of many people.

After a brief conversation with one of Sofouby's managers. Fang Yi saw the three little devils at the door on the other side looking at him and smiled, then turned to his side and walked over.

"Damn! Are these three little devils gay? How did they get together again! Fang Yi couldn't help muttering.

"What?" Tony didn't hear what Fang Yi said, and even if he did, he wouldn't understand. Because Fang Yi subconsciously used his native language and spoke Chinese.

Fang Yi looked at the three little devils who were five or six meters away from him, and said to Tony while standing up from his chair: "It's nothing! ”。

The three little devils are here, so deal with it. Said hello to the three. Fang Yi wanted to introduce the three of them to Tony.

Tony smiled and said, "We all know each other!" ”。

"We've all met Tony, too. And it's an old friend! Hashimoto bent over Tony, and shook Tony's hand.

As soon as he heard this, Fang Yi understood that these three little devils and Tony really knew each other, if they hadn't come up, they wouldn't have called Tony by the name, but by their surname. But it's also very understandable.,The little devil who has been thinking about getting out of Asia and entering Europe is really yearning for Europe.,Naturally, I'm also diligent about going to European museums and the like.,It's really surprising that the three of them know Tony.。

"Fang Jun! What are you interested in coming to the auction this time? Hashimoto sat down. After chatting for a minute or two, he asked Fang Yi.

Fang Yi smiled: "It's just that I'm more interested in that Zhao Yan's painting, of course, if you're also interested." Everyone has to fight! ”。

"What a coincidence! One of the inu's clients also wanted to buy the painting! Hashimoto listened and stretched out his hand and pointed to Inuhiro who was sitting next to him.

Inu Yanghong bowed to Fang Yi and said with a smile: "It's a little embarrassing!" ”。

Fang Yi smiled and said, "It's okay! ”。 The dog is entrusted by someone, Fang Yi is preparing to join in the fun, if the price is unexpected, Fang Yi plans to raise the price. For things like shooting things, Fang Yi will not bring some so-called nationalism, and what is lost must be brought back. If the price is reasonable, it will not make people get huge profits if it is not reasonable.

Hashimoto asked Tony and Fang Yi again, "Master Michelangelo's painting of the Three Sages, I don't know if it's possible for us to see it!" ”。

Tony listened to Hashimoto say this happily and said, "You'll probably see it soon, at the New York Museum of Art!" ”。

Fang Yi was very curious when he heard this: "What's the matter, this painting of Martin is ready to be sold?" ”。 Two days ago, I heard Martin say that this work should be kept forever, and how could it be sold in the blink of an eye.

"For sale?" Hashimoto's face looked a little happy when he heard this, and it seemed that this sale could be bought as long as there was money!

Tony looked around at the people around him and continued: "It's ready to be sold, because the bid for the New York Museum of Art has reached $300 million!" Unless you've heard someone bid more than that, the work of Michelangelo will be taken away by the gallery! ”。

As soon as he heard about the 300 million dollars, Hashimoto's face showed a bitter color, and Inukai and Matsumoto also shook their heads in succession. Fang Yi was amazed by the generosity of the American Museum, throwing out more than 300 million dollars for a work by Michelangelo that was not too big!

"In the past few days, a museum has come up with 300 million US dollars? It turns out that the New York Museum of Art is the real rich man! Fang Yi was surprised and said happily to a few people.

"They don't have any money, and they're not going to go to the pockets of the shareholders. But since the New York Museum of Art said it, then the 300 million is out" Tony said: "Originally, I was going to try my luck for our museum, but let alone hearing about 300 million." I can't even take out 100 million! ”。

The current Italian economy is really not good, so Italian museums have to tighten their belts to get by, and some museums even have to sell the works of some artists who are not famous or not too famous to maintain the livelihood of museums.

Fang Yi sighed at three hundred million dollars, to be honest, Fang Yi is a little entangled in his heart now, three hundred million dollars is not twenty or thirty million!

In fact, what Fang Yi didn't know was that the three of them had already known about Martin's sale. Taking this thing out is just to mobilize and enliven the current atmosphere, and obviously now that the atmosphere has reached the Cheng dù that Hashimoto wants, the meat drama has begun to come up.

"Fang Jun! I was commissioned by the Tokyo Western-style Museum. I would like to ask you if you intend to sell the "Abundance" in your hand! The price can be discussed, and I believe that you will be satisfied! Hashimoto looked at Fang Yi and said solemnly.

Fang Yi didn't think about it when he heard it, so he jokingly asked Hashimoto: "You don't think I'm short of money, right?" ”。

What does Fang Yi mean by this, do you think I'm short of money? At the point where you want to change the painting in your hand to that kind of printed ticket? Anyone who collects these things knows that they hold much more value than any government-issued banknote. Paper money is a hassle to print without looking at the bells and whistles. Because the banknote itself has no value, as long as it changes its direction or depreciates to a certain extent, this thing is too hard to wipe the ass!

Hearing Fang Yi ask this, how could Hashimoto not understand what Fang Yi meant, and owed his body: "I also know that this matter is not easy, but I always have to ask you when I am entrusted by others!" ”。 After saying that, Hashimoto didn't dwell too much on this kind of thing, and changed the topic.

To be honest, it wouldn't be too uncomfortable to chat with a few people from Hashimoto, but for Fang Yi, it was always uncomfortable to look at the little devil. I still feel like half an hour has passed after a few minutes of chatting. Just when he looked up and saw that the time for the auction was approaching, he pulled Tony and the three little devils to say goodbye.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Tony didn't get it. asked Fang Yi.

Fang Yi had to make an excuse casually: "Come in early and find a good position!" ”。

Hearing this, Tony was a little speechless, there is still a place to grab a place in the auction? It's not to listen to the teacher's lectures, those who love to learn to grab the front, and those who don't like to learn to grab the corner, this auction should be seen and understood when entering the auction hall is almost the same, not to mention entering the first gate today, and those who are interested even have their own bottom line drawn. Where to grab what position here!

However, Tony did not refute Fang Yi, and followed Fang Yi to sit in a small corner at the back of the auction room.

When the auction began, the first auction was won by Zhang Xu and Li Lin, who bought an antique rotten bottle from South America for more than 10,000 US dollars. Anyway, Fang Yi looked at that thing, and it looked a bit like a night pot in the old days in China.

"What are they buying these fakes for?" Tony didn't have any idea when he saw the first one, thinking that Li Lin and Zhang Xu just liked this thing, but when the two bought the third, Tony couldn't figure it out, and turned his head to ask Fang Yi. In Tony's mind, these two people have a friend like Fang Yi, and their own appreciation level should not be low, how can they buy something that is out of tune!

Not only did Tony find out, but many people in the venue also noticed that these two Asians who frequently raised their hands in the first few lots were not so tasteful! Ten sketches down, every time these two people raise their cards, it seems that they are unhappy if they don't raise their cards, if this auction is really not so high-grade, some people think that Zhang Xu and the two are newly hired by the auction house to be substandard nurseries.

Before that work arrived, Zhang Xu and Li Lin became the people who received the most pieces on the scene, and the two of them sold a total of three tattered goods, which was quite a bit of the style of a tattered king.

"If it looks good, buy it, and if you buy it for 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, you can buy it in their hearts!" Fang Yile said.

This eating method is not something that Fang Yi can come up with, it is Zhang Xu who came up with it himself, the so-called caution makes the Ten Thousand Year Ship! Vermeer's imitation painting value made Zhang Fatzi very fat brain.

"The following is an imitation of Rubens's "Abundance", this work was sent for auction by the Western Museum in Tokyo, Japan, everyone knows that this work has just been confirmed as an imitation......" The main photographer motioned everyone to look at the work that was carried up by the two, and then told the story of this painting, from being bought by the Japanese to Fang Yi's conclusion that it was an imitation, all briefly summarized.

Hearing what the main photographer said, Fang Yi seemed to feel that this work seemed to be okay, at least the experience was peculiar. It can be seen that the mouth of the main photographer is inflammatory.

"Starts at $17,000!" The lead auctioneer knocked on the table and announced that the bidding for the work had begun.

"Fifty thousand!" As soon as the main photographer finished speaking, Li Lin raised the sign in his hand, and chatted quietly with Zhang Xu when he held the sign, and he didn't mind it.

As soon as the main auctioneer shouted out the reserve price of 17,000, it reached 50,000 with a whoosh, and the main auctioneer had to open his mouth and shout: "50,000!" Someone has 50,000, and there are no higher! ”。

"Sixty thousand!" One of the old men sitting in a corner held up the sign in his hand.

Fang Yi couldn't help but look at the old man, and found that the old guy's face was also very calm. The old man didn't look around, but looked directly at the painting that was being carried by two people. (To be continued......)
