Twenty million, what kind of concept is it, it must be a lot of money, a lot of money, but the people who can participate in this auction are probably not any working class, and even the kind of small rich families are impossible to participate.

After all, the so-called collection, especially the auctions of this grade, are games played by the rich, the poor play cars, the rich play watches, and they really can't play with computers, although there is some deviation, but it can also reflect the division of classes.

Ding Xiang's family conditions are in Tianhai City, which can be called excellent, but when he came to Yanjing City, he could only stand out from the crowd, although he had lived in college, he could only say that he had no worries about food and clothing, and it was naturally the first time to participate in an auction of this nature.

So when I heard the huge amount of 20 million, I was directly stunned, dumbfounded, how could I not imagine that such a painting was so valuable.

With a frightened face, he raised his hand to cover his mouth, for fear that he would exclaim.

The auction hall instantly became silent, and almost everyone looked at the position where they had just bidd, especially the foreign girl, with her long wavy golden hair and delicate face, which could be seen at a glance in her aristocratic temperament.

There is a black suit bodyguard beside him, his eyes are sharp and constantly vigilant around, he can see the air headset in his ears, and there is a miniature intercom system around his mouth, and he has a neat inch head, and he can see his burly figure just by sitting there.

On the other side is a gentle old butler-like man, his hair is meticulously combed, although he is old, not only does he not see any wrinkles, but he has a kind of exposed taste.

Especially the well-tailored suit, which seems to be still on the chest

However, the translator who quoted in a howling voice fell behind in comparison, and it seems that it should be a temporary employment relationship, and it is very kind of outside the strong middle cadre who uses chicken feathers as an arrow.

The number plate is held in his hand, and he can't wait for everyone to see it, and his small eyes are all over the world, but this blushing and thick neck is really not flattering.

Many people are speculating about the origin of this girl, and they are very curious about her, a huge sum of 20 million, most of the people here can take it, why they were surprised just now, it is not that the price is amazing, but that everyone does not think that this painting can be worth this price.

It is true that Monet is a master, it is true that the master's works are collectible, and even this painting has long been appraised by professionals, and there is no doubt that it is genuine.

But the actual value is not to this extent.

The explanation of the auctioneer Wu Long just now can actually see the clues, the same scene, the port of Affle, and even those small boats are the same, but they have changed from sunrise to sunset.

And that "Sunrise Impression" did sell for nearly 30 million US dollars, which has exceeded 100 million yuan when converted into RMB, but it is only relative to the value of the painting itself.

The first joint exhibition of the Impressionists opened on March 25, 1874. "Sunrise Impressions" was not the most typical of Monet's paintings, but it became famous when a critic named Lerouard published an article entitled "An Exhibition of Impressionism" in the subsequent April 25 issue of the magazine "Noise".

The essay is a biting satire on many of the works in the exhibition, especially in Monet's Sunrise Impression, where he writes that "the wallflower paper is more complete than this seascape".

In addition, in connection with the title of the work, Lerouard jokingly refers to the exhibition as "an exhibition of impressionism". Even Monet himself once expressed the view that "what I paint is just an impression", and it is precisely because of this that the title of impressionist and impressionist master has been widely used.

Therefore, "Sunrise Impression" made Monet's reputation skyrocket, so that painting will rise, but although this "Sunset Impression" participated in the joint exhibition at that time, it did not have an impact, and I don't know where it spread.

First come, first come, natural sunrise is more sought-after, while sunset disappears, the value of nature can not be compared with sunrise, and even has no specific historical value, and is gradually forgotten.

So even if the price of this painting is now 20 million yuan, which is far from the "Sunrise Impression" with a price of up to 100 million yuan, it is still surprising, and even feels that the foreign girl is not worth the loss by doing this.

"Twenty million to buy a painting, it's really capricious!" Ding Xiang muttered in a low voice, in her opinion, it was really incomprehensible that 20 million could even buy a villa in Yanjing City.

"Hehe, that's how it is to be rich!" Wu Di answered, but at this time he also heard the conversation of the people sitting in a row in front of him, and it seemed that they were also interested in the painting.

However, the current price does surprise them, and there is constant discussion about whether to continue to increase the price.

At this time, the auctioneer who was standing at the front began to play a role, and even Wu Long was a little distracted just now, but the professional quality still made him react quickly and suddenly refreshed.

"Twenty million! No. 167 bid 20 million, discerning pearls, I have to say that No. 167 participants have discerning pearls, this "Sunset" is definitely worth the money, are there any other guests bidding? ”

Wu Long held the auction hammer in his hand tightly, he naturally would not make a final decision so easily, he hoped that there would be a situation of continuous bidding, and through a short silence, he began to advocate the value of this painting again.

"Two thousand and a half million!" Finally, among the few people sitting in front of Wu Di, someone raised the number plate, but his voice just fell, and then the next quote appeared again, still the translator who represented the foreign girl, still hoarse.

"Twenty-five million!"

Once again, there was an uproar, and the price of 20 million was actually considered the extreme, and the man's offer in front of him was only 500,000 more, but the foreign girl directly added 5 million.

It's simply not left to others to fight back.

"Holy!" The man in front of him directly burst into foul language, which was seriously inconsistent with his age and even his clothing image, revealing an angry and irritated anger: "This woman's brain is in water, and she has such a high fucking price, if it weren't for the old man, he would have to play elegant and have to be obsessed with Monet, who the fuck ate too much to buy this painting?" ”

"Li Hua, have you found out his details?" The middle-aged man asked, turning to his companion.

"Wait a minute, I've already asked someone to ask the Guardian Auction House, wait a while!" The man next to him seemed to be his subordinate, with a helpless face, staring at the mobile phone in his hand, and at this moment, a text message was sent and checked immediately.

"Boss, I found out, the girl's name is Josephine Habsburg."

"Josephine Habsburg? What's the matter? Is it a big family? ”

"There is no other information, only this name, but my friend just looked it up from the Internet!" Speaking of this, the subordinate looked bitter and opened his mouth: "He said that this Habsburg family is a very old family, and its background is comparable to that of the Rothschilds!" ”

What does that mean exactly? You just say, don't sell it! ”

"Boss, we can't afford to mess with her, don't fight with her, we can't fight!" The subordinate sighed, and then directly handed over his large-screen mobile phone: "Why don't you take a look at it yourself!" ”
