Chapter 315: Met Chen Guanxi by chance
At about 1:50 p.m., Tang Yun and his entourage drove to the destination of their trip to Macao.
The second floor of the Law Building, O City.
This is the location of the Xiajia auction organized by CITIC International Auction Co., Ltd. in Australia.
When Tang Yun and his group of seven people arrived on the second floor of the Law Building, there were already a lot of people at the auction venue.
In addition, Tang Yun also saw an acquaintance in the venue.
"Mr. Chen, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come here in Macao?"
Tang Yun smiled and greeted a middle-aged man in front of him who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked a little elegant.
This middle-aged man is none other than Zhou Jiajia's father Zhou Nanfeng's friend, and he is also a well-known antique appraisal expert, Chen Guanxi!
"Hehe, Xiao Tang, are you coming here too? I'm just here in the morning. ”
Chen Guanxi said with a smile: "By the way, Xiao Tang, I heard from Zhou Lao that you came to participate in the auction this time for those few Flower God Cups?"
"That's true. ”
Tang Yun nodded and smiled: "But if there are other antiques at the auction that interest me, I will also auction them." ”
Qing Kangxi's colorful twelve flower god cups are indeed the main goal of his trip to Australia.
However, that doesn't mean he's just going to shoot this one.
Nowadays, in addition to gambling stones, Tang Yun's biggest interest is collecting antiques.
In addition, after the harvest of this Pingshi public market, he can now be said to be wealthy, so in this auction, Tang Yun's goal is not only the Huashen Cup.
Whatever he likes, as long as the price is not too exaggerated, he will choose to take it down.
So that the antique area in the basement of your villa can add some more variety.
As soon as Tang Yun chatted with Chen Guanxi for a few words, he felt someone poke him lightly in the back.
Turning his head to look, he saw that the person who poked him was Seinfeld, Tang Yun reacted at this time, and then introduced to Chen Guanxi.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, I haven't introduced you yet, these three are my college classmates. Not only are we roommates in the same dormitory, but we also have a jewelry company together......"
Saying that, Tang Yun introduced the names of the three of Seinfeld to Chen Guanxi one by one.
When mentioning Seinfeld, Tang Yun also smiled: "This is Seinfeld, Seinfeld usually likes to watch the "Treasure Appreciation" program the most, and it can be said that Mr. Chen is your loyal fan." ”
"Chen... Hello Mr. Chen!"
Seinfeld held Chen Guanxi's hand and said with some excitement.
Lu Weijie and Chu Qingyang, who were standing on the side, were the same at this time.
Although the two of them don't usually watch much TV, "Jianbao" is a very well-known program in China in recent years, and the two of them have watched one or two episodes on the Internet.
In addition, Chen Guanxi often appears on the show as an antique appraisal expert, so although Lu Weijie and the others are not as excited as Seinfeld at the moment, they are also a little excited in their hearts.
Chen Guanxi was accustomed to this, shook hands with the three of them with a smile and said, "Hehe, how are you!"
At this moment, the time is almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
Therefore, after a few words of chatting with Chen Guanxi, Tang Yun and the others returned to their respective seats, waiting for the auction to begin.
By two o'clock in the afternoon, the entire auction hall was already full.
As the representative of the organizer, the general manager of Aoshi CITIC International Auction Co., Ltd. and the host of the auction came to the stage, the scene gradually began to quiet down.
"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the 2010 Xia Family Antiques and Art Auction organized by our company, and I sincerely wish you all the best to be able to auction your favorite items......
The general manager of CITIC International said a few words, and then handed the microphone to the host of the auction.
After a few brief opening remarks, the host announced the official start of the auction.
"First of all, let's invite the first lot of this auction.
This is a well-known painter of the Ming Dynasty, Dai Jin's "Returning to the Field to Celebrate Longevity", which was made by Dai Jin when he was 20 years old, and is the earliest of his known creation years, which is of great significance for understanding Dai Jin's early experience, communication and early painting style.
The starting price is HK$500,000, and each bid must not be less than HK$10,000!"
Tang Yun glanced at the first auction item displayed on the stage, the Ming Dynasty painter Dai Jin's "Returning to the Field to Celebrate Birthday".
In this painting, a spacious hall sits among the pines and bamboos, and the owner sits in the center, and the birthday greeters come one after another.
Behind the courtyard, there is a high mountain waterfall, and the mountains and forests in the distance are faintly visible.
For Dai Jin, a well-known painter of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Yun actually didn't know much about it.
He didn't have much research on painting and calligraphy, and only knew about those very famous people and works, such as Fan Kuan's "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" in his own collection.
But even so, for the "Returning to the Field and Wishing Birthday" in front of him, Tang Yun felt at first glance that the brush and ink were very freehand, and the pen was short and vigorous, and the sketch of the characters was also very concise and slightly formal.
From a layman's point of view, it can also be seen that Dai Jin's "Returning to the Field to Celebrate Birthday" is indeed a good work, and it is especially suitable for giving to the elderly as a birthday gift.
Just when Tang Yun was thinking about whether to make a move, many people at the scene began to raise signs and shout prices.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
A man in a light blue shirt was the first to raise a sign and shout.
Seeing this, the host shouted loudly: "550,000! This gentleman on the 15th bid 550,000! 550,000, is there anything higher?"
As soon as the host's voice fell, someone immediately raised a sign to pick it up.
"Five hundred and seventy thousand!"
"Five hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
“......”
For a time, many people at the scene joined the auction of the first "Returning to the Field and Wishing Birthday".
And with everyone's successive signs, the auction price of Dai Jin's "Returning to the Field and Wishing Birthday" has gradually soared.
In a short time, the bidding price reached 800,000 yuan.
Looking at the situation in front of him raising signs and shouting prices, Tang Yun sat motionless and watched.
Most of the people who come to this auction today are interested in antiques and have a certain amount of research.
In terms of value, although this "Returning to the Field and Wishing Birthday" is not as good as the "Traveling Map of Streams and Mountains" collected by Tang Yun, it is also superior in the calligraphy and painting world, and it is a good work with great collection value.
When the bidding price reached 900,000, Tang Yun pondered for a moment, and also raised the sign in his hand and shouted.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!"
