Chapter 29: Fare evasion
The opening lot was a Tang Sancai, and the final price rose to more than 20 million, which was won by a middle-aged man with a big belly.
The next few lots are not as popular, and at most they have not exceeded 10 million.
Rao is like this, and it can also be seen that the level of this auction is high. In a normal auction, if you take out one of the lots in this exhibition, you can almost become the finale.
Soon, after a few rounds, the auctioneer on the stage began to introduce a portrait.
Through the introduction, it is known that this seems to be the masterpiece of a famous contemporary painter Yang Yantao.
Ye Luochen didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, so the other party told all this, and Ye Luochen was not interested in it at all.
However, he suddenly found that Qin Ruoyun beside him listened to it with relish, for fear of missing a word.
It is difficult to make it possible, Qin Ruoyun has studied calligraphy and painting.
At this time, an assistant on the stage took out the ink painting.
When the scroll unfolded, Ye Luochen was shocked.
The person in the painting is a gentle and beautiful girl. In the painting, the girl is wearing a Luo Shi, without powder, but it is radiant and moving, and her eyes do not eat the smell of fireworks in the world, like a fairy.
Hey? Why is the girl in the painting so familiar?
Ye Luochen looked at it fixedly.
Who is the girl in the painting if she is not Qin Ruoyun?!
Immediately, Ye Luochen looked at Qin Ruoyun beside him in astonishment. Sure enough, the person in the painting is exactly the same as her, lifelike. It's just that the age of the person in the painting looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Today's Qin Ruoyun looks a little more mature.
Just when Ye Luochen was shocked and inexplicable, Qin Ruoyun beside him said softly.
"This painting was painted by my grandfather when he was seriously ill. It's a pity that he ...... before he finished painting" Speaking of this, Qin Ruoyun's voice was a little choked.
"Later, it was closed by my uncle. After his grandfather's death, many of his works were sold by him, including this one. ”
As he spoke, the auctioneer on the stage said.
"The starting price of this painting is 10 million, and the auction begins."
Yang Yantao's real works, 10 million is by no means high, especially after his death, many paintings have been fried to tens of millions.
The reason why this painting is not too high is precisely because Uncle Qin Ruoyun made it smart to complete the painting.
If he doesn't paint snakes, even if it is a semi-finished product, as Yang Yantao's masterpiece, the absolute value will more than multiple.
As such, this painting is still sought after by many wealthy people.
The price soared, more than tripling in the blink of an eye, surpassing the price of the first lot, reaching 28 million.
At this time, the price is basically close to the floor price in everyone's hearts.
If it is higher, it will be a loss.
Qin Ruoyun had already wiped away her tears and looked at the painting with a look of longing, but she couldn't do anything.
Looking at that picture scroll, Qin Ruoyun couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of his childhood.
Qin Ruoyun, who has no father and mother since she was a child, has always been raised by her grandfather, but when her grandfather died, she could only follow her third uncle to make a living. The third uncle is just an ordinary person living in poverty, and a few years ago, his leg was broken. As a result, the already poor living conditions are even worse.
As a last resort, Qin Ruoyun had no choice but to give up his job as a cashier in a store and go to work in a bar instead, so that his income could be higher.
Now that he sees the painting that his grandfather painted for himself, Qin Ruoyun really wants to take it, but he is powerless.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from my ears.
"Want this picture? I'll buy it for you. ”
"What? You? Qin Ruoyun looked at Ye Luochen with a shocked expression.
Immediately, Qin Ruoyun said with a smile.
"What a joke! Now the auction price has soared to almost 30 million. ”
Qin Ruoyun didn't believe that Ye Luochen could come up with so much money. Besides, he has no relatives and no reason with him, so why should he give himself 30 million for nothing.
Just when Qin Ruoyun thought that Ye Luochen was joking with himself, who would have thought that Ye Luochen would raise his hand and say, "I bid 50 million." ”
"Poof." Qin Ruoyun, who was drinking water, directly squirted out a mouthful of water.
"Are you crazy? Do you know that if you can't get the money later, you will be in big trouble! ”
As he spoke, Qin Ruoyun hurriedly pounced on Ye Luochen, about to press his raised arm.
Who knew that Ye Luochen flashed sideways slightly, and Qin Ruoyun threw himself directly into his arms.
At this time, the host just said.
"The gentleman in the back row is out of 50 million, and is there anything higher?"
Ye Luochen raised the price by more than 20 million, and everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Everyone in the audience looked in the direction pointed by the host, wanting to see the true face of this local tyrant.
Who knows, I just saw the picture of Qin Ruoyun pounced on Ye Luochen.
"Ahem......" The host couldn't help coughing lightly.
And the guests present couldn't help but laugh one by one.
"The young people are really open now."
"That girl is pretty good-looking, and she is really talented and beautiful with that mysterious local tyrant."
"What are you doing in such a hurry, won't you go to the hotel?"
All kinds of voices of discussion made Qin Ruoyun's face flush suddenly, and he hurriedly sat down.
Just when she was still adjusting her mood, the host had already said impassionedly.
"Fifty million three times! Deal. ”
"What? Is this a deal? Qin Ruoyun, who came back to his senses, was directly dumbfounded.
"Ye Luochen!" Qin Ruoyun couldn't help but let out a "Hedong Lion's Roar".
Ye Luochen frowned, covered his ears and said.
"Why are you shouting so loudly when we're sitting so close?"
"Leaves~fall~dust" Qin Ruoyun hurriedly changed to a sound as thin as a mosquito and a fly, and at the same time pulled his clothes and dragged him hard.
"What are you going to do?"
Qin Ruoyun said with a sneaky look.
"Of course it's slipping away! You won't be able to take out 50 million later, and neither of us will be able to escape! ”
Ye Luochen couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Qin Ruoyun didn't care about it, and pulled Ye Luochen hard to leave.
At this time, Long Ye and Zhao Huarui in the front row also looked at Ye Luochen's side.
Qin Ruoyun couldn't be troubled, he could only use his mouth to say: "You will keep the painting for me first." ’
Subsequently, Ye Luochen was dragged out of the auction venue by Qin Ruoyun.
Zhao Yunlong's father and daughter couldn't help but look at each other, which one did Ye Luochen make trouble?
But they didn't dare to say much, Zhao Yunlong hurriedly said.
"Xiaorui, I'll go backstage to settle the money later, be sure to keep Ye Shao's paintings."
"Yes, father." Zhao Huarui got up and went straight to the backstage of the auction.
At the same time, Qin Ruoyun had already fled outside the hotel with Ye Luochen.
Call.
Qin Ruoyun couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Are you kid crazy? Million? You really dare to make an offer. ”
Ye Luochen couldn't easily reveal his identity, so he just smiled and didn't explain too much.
Fifty million is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for Qin Ruoyun. For ordinary people, I am afraid that they will not be able to make so much money in a few lifetimes.
So where would she believe that Ye Luochen, who was also a bar waitress with her, could come up with so much money.
Qin Ruoyun, who had palpitations, patted his chest and took a few deep breaths before leaving.
"Where are you going?" Ye Luochen asked subconsciously.
"Miss Ben is going home."
Qin Ruoyun pouted, and suddenly added, "Are you coming?" ”
