Chapter 983: Get ready to swipe your card
The auction continued unhurriedly, but the auction, which was originally the finale of the event, was overshadowed by the climax of the bidding for a century-old snow lotus.
I don't know how the auction house found a channel, but I found an oil painting by Robert Lehman, a master of oil painting who is now in high demand.
His recent Sotheby's oil painting "Untitled" was valued in the range of $15 million to $20 million, which is about 100 million yuan if converted into RMB.
Robert Lehman, as a representative of monochrome painting, minimalism and conceptual art, has a completely different painting style, such as "Untitled", which is completely a pattern of a marble floor, and I don't know what happened, suddenly became so hot.
Although the paintings found by Guardian Auction House are not as famous as "Untitled", the works of the Lehman masters always have halo attributes, and they finally sold for more than 8 million yuan.
Another important lot is the official kiln yellow glaze piercing ear bottle, this bottle is also extraordinary, skimming, thin neck, round belly, circle foot, regular and large, purple iron foot, Shi beige glaze, smooth glaze, uniform glaze, and full of small open pieces, precious and rare, and finally fixed at the auction price of 11 million.
These two lots belong to the East and the West, and were specially arranged by the Guardian Auction House, and it was originally thought that the price of these two pieces should be the most expensive, and even the "Sunset" by Master Monet was only estimated to be 6 million ceilings, which will not be higher.
As for the snow lotus, he didn't even have much hope, just using this lot to show the strength of the auction house and hunt for curiosity.
However, it was these two things that sold for a sky-high price, which made this auction exceed expectations by much, and it was a complete success, and the success was jaw-dropping.
The turnover exceeded 120 million, which can be said to be the peak in China in recent years.
The auction ended successfully, the participants in the auction room withdrew in an orderly manner, and only about 20 people were left waiting for the delivery of the lots.
The value of these lots can be imagined now, and the security must naturally be foolproof, and even not only the security company is invited, but also the comrades of the public security bureau are present, and if there are special requirements, even the police can be sent to the airport or station together.
After all, the amount is huge, and the Yanjing police don't want any vicious cases here.
At the delivery site, Wu Di followed Ding Xiang in, and saw Josephine from the Habsburg family head-on, compared with the security personnel of the Guardian auction house on the scene, the bodyguards she brought were obviously more professional.
The two sides met at the door, Josephine was still a little indignant in her heart, and after seeing Wu Di, she felt even more angry, and even more aggrieved, so she naturally would not give way to Wu Di.
However, Wu Di naturally won't have the same knowledge as her, but to say that he has no emotions in his heart at all, it is pure nonsense, just because of this Josephine, his money is directly spent to the bottom, it is more than 47 million!
In his previous assumption, even if someone bids with him, it should not exceed 10 million, although this money is all the money that Shi Yun came to buy his life, and he spent it, but after all, it is real money, not waste paper, and it is still a little distressing to think about it.
Good men don't fight with women, and besides, I am very curious about this Habsburg family, and if you go back to it, it is a royal family! As he stepped aside, he looked at the woman twice.
Her curly blond hair was draped like waves, and she wore a bow adorned with broken diamonds on her head, and a small white dress with a suspender belt underneath.
The skin is fair, with the three-dimensional sense of the face of the European race, the eyes are like sapphires, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are not thick or thin, at this glance, she has already felt a strong hostility, Josephine did not hide her resentment towards Wu Di at all, even if Wu Di now gave way to her, she still did not have a good face.
Snorted lightly, and walked out directly, Josephine is not short, and now he is wearing high heels, and he is only half a head shorter than Wu Di.
The high heels stepped on the floor, clicking, Wu Di's reaction was very fast, and from the change in the sound of her walking just now, she was already prepared.
Sure enough, at the moment when Josephine was about to pass by herself, her high heels came straight to her feet, and she was obviously full of strength.
If she stepped on this foot, she would definitely feel much more comfortable in her heart, but where would Wu Di let her get her wish, and at the moment Josephine landed, she took a step to the side.
"Click!" With a sound, Josephine stepped on the air and stepped directly on the floor, slightly stunned, subconsciously stopped, and kicked Wu Di fiercely.
Wu Di shrugged his shoulders, looked at the old butler and looked at him apologetically, but he didn't say anything, his body was slightly sideways, and he walked in directly.
I heard the little girl behind her muttering through gritted teeth, but Wu Di had already seen that the person in charge of the auction house had already taken out the jade box containing the hundred-year-old snow lotus, and hurriedly walked over.
The jade box made of white jade is square, and only a simple line is carved on it, which looks very simple, and gives people a feeling of long time, maybe this thing is also an antique.
Wu Di knew that using jade boxes to preserve medicinal materials could more effectively prevent the loss of medicinal properties, and jade utensils were the best containers for preserving medicinal materials, and the more precious the medicinal materials, the more so.
"Mr. Wu, please check the lot first!" The person in charge of the auction house looked at Wu Di with a smile on his face, this is the biggest transaction in this field, the company can not only use this Snow Lotus auction to enhance its reputation, but even say that it is a lot of money to draw commissions from the transaction amount.
Even if the manager doesn't say it, he will definitely have to take a look at it first, although they will definitely not drop the bag, but he must be cautious, nodded with a smile, and stepped forward.
Putting his hands on the jade box, he actually felt a slight coolness, and he felt a lot more relieved at this time, indicating that the owner of this hundred-year-old snow lotus was indeed an expert, and Han Yu was able to block the medicinal power.
Subconsciously took a deep breath, and finally opened the jade box, and the white and flawless snow lotus was placed inside, blooming and blooming, although it was already dry, but the petals seemed to be fresh.
A faint fragrance, this snow lotus, which has been stored for a hundred years, still has a fragrance, which is completely incredible, Wu Di has only seen it from the catalogue before, and now it is close at hand, and he feels very shocked.
At this moment, Wu Di's movements stopped, his face became solemn, and he stared at the snow lotus in the jade box, which made people feel that something was wrong when they looked at it.
"Mr. Wu--- Mr. Wu?" The manager of the auction house stood beside Wu Di, and after waiting for a while, he found that Wu Di still did not react, so he could only speak.
"Smack!" Wu Di finally came back to his senses, quickly covered the jade box, and there was a surprise in his eyes that couldn't be suppressed: "Okay, no problem, get ready to swipe the card!" ”
