Chapter 341: Oil Painting of the Seventeenth Century

On top of that, there is an antique in the back that he has his eye on, and if he spends too much here, it may affect the subsequent bidding.

However, now He Weixiang is sitting next to him and watching, if he falls behind at this time, it will inevitably affect his impression in the other party's heart......

Do you want to keep going?

For a moment, Chen Shaojie hesitated.

......

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a full minute.

The host looked around, and finally shouted as usual: "Three million eight hundred thousand! This gentleman on the twenty-third bid three million eight hundred thousand!"

Now it's 3.8 million, is there anything higher?"

Hearing the host's shouting, Chen Shaojie's brows furrowed deeper, and his inner hesitation became more entangled.

When the host was about to shout out three quotations, Chen Shaojie glanced at He Weixiang beside him, and finally gritted his teeth and raised the sign in his hand.

"Four million!"

Chen Shaojie shouted in a suppressed voice.

Tang Yun glanced at him, still indifferently raised the sign in his hand and said, "Four million two hundred thousand!"

......

On the auction table, the host looked around the stage and saw that no one had raised a sign for a long time, so he shouted loudly.

"Four two hundred and twenty thousand! This gentleman on the twenty-third bid four million two hundred thousand!

It's 4.2 million now, is there anything higher?"

Tang Yun glanced at Chen Shaojie, who was sitting next to He Weixiang on the right side in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

The price of 4.2 million yuan is much higher than the actual value of these two porcelain cups, which is about 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, Tang Yun didn't care much about this, it was only one million Hong Kong dollars, which was nothing to him.

What's more, he won about 40 million in the casino last night.

......

The scene was quiet.

After Tang Yun shouted the price of 4.2 million, the scene lasted for more than a minute, and no one raised a sign or shouted the price.

Many people looked at Chen Shaojie in the front row, and now he is the only one who can compete with Tang Yun for these two porcelain cups.

It's just that at this time, Chen Shaojie's expression seemed to be pondering, and he couldn't tell whether he would continue to compete with Tang Yun.

The host looked down at the time and saw that it was almost over, so he began to count down to three quotations as usual: "Four million two hundred thousand for the first time!"

......

It's still quiet.

"Four million two hundred thousand for the second time!"

......

Tang Yun subconsciously glanced in the direction of Chen Shaojie.

Unexpectedly, although Chen Shaojie was still pondering, He Weixiang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly turned his head and happened to meet Tang Yun's gaze.

Both of them were slightly stunned for a moment, and then the corners of He Weixiang's mouth rose slightly, and she smiled at Tang Yun.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

At this moment, Tang Yun felt his heartbeat accelerating.

Seeing He Weixiang's smile, Tang Yun subconsciously smiled back, until He Weixiang turned around, Tang Yun was still a little stunned in his seat.

After the host announced the last opening, Tang Yun came back to his senses from his stunned state.

"Four million two hundred thousand for the third time!"

"Smack!"

A hammer sound fell.

"Deal!"

"Congratulations to this gentleman on the 23rd for successfully auctioning these two colorful flower god cups from Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty at a price of 4.2 million!"

......

This round of bidding finally came to an end, although the price spent was a little higher than estimated in advance, but Tang Yun was still very happy to be able to win it smoothly.

In this way, the Qing Kangxi blue and white colorful flower god cup collected by himself reached eight.

Except for the August Cup, as long as the rest is put a little more thought, it must not be a big problem to collect it.

On the other side, when the host announced the end of the auction for the Huashen Cup, Chen Shaojie glanced at Tang Yun on the lower left side of his eyes and glanced at him fiercely.

After a while, Chen Shaojie turned around, then pretended to be casual, and continued to talk and laugh at He Weixiang beside him

Most of the antiques that appeared after that were mainly porcelain from the Qingming period, and the price was not expensive.

The highest one was successfully auctioned by He Weixiang at a price of 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

During this period, Chen Guanxi, a well-known antique appraisal expert, also made a move, and successfully won a floral porcelain bowl of the Qing Dynasty at a price of only 800,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"Next up is a work of art by the famous Western portrait painter Hals......"

With the introduction of the host, a portrait oil painting on canvas from the West slowly appeared on the big screen.

Frans Hals, was a famous portrait painter of the Dutch Golden Age.

He was not only the founder of Dutch realism, but also one of the leading Dutch portrait painters of the 17th century.

The name of this painting is "The Clown Playing the Mandolin". Hals, a nationalist-minded painter, chose a wandering entertainer at the bottom of society......"

Listening to the host's introduction, many buyers who didn't know Frans Hals on the scene gradually became a little interested.

Tang Yun sat under the stage and watched and listened quietly, the oil painting displayed on the big screen depicted a wandering artist holding a musical instrument.

This wandering entertainer looks very optimistic and witty, even the outfit and expression are a little funny, and the fleeting eyes full of laughter and slanted eyes vividly reveal his extremely humorous, clever and joyful inner world, anyone who sees it will be deeply infected.

Finally, the host said enthusiastically: "The author Frans Hals has a fiery enthusiasm, he can see the instantaneous emotion on the other party's face at a glance without prejudice, and with unrestrained and ingenious brushstrokes, the magic is expressed on the canvas, giving people a vivid emotional exchange." ”

"This "Clown Playing Mandolin" is the only one left in the world today!

I would like to announce that its starting price is HK$3,000,000, and each bid must not be less than 100,000!"

......

The price of HK$3,000,000 is much cheaper for a 17th-century Western oil painting.

Frans Hals, although he is also somewhat famous, is not a global name after all.

If it were Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci, I am afraid that the value of this oil painting would have increased several times, or even dozens of times.

But even so, there were still many buyers at the scene, who were very interested in this portrait oil painting.

After the host finished shouting, a middle-aged man in a black shirt and black trousers in the back row immediately raised the sign in his hand and shouted.

"Three two hundred and twenty thousand!"

Seeing that someone was bidding so quickly, the host said with surprise on his face: "Three million two hundred thousand! This gentleman on the fifty-seventh bid three million ...... two hundred thousand."
