Chapter 146: One Hundred Million
The black cloth was uncovered, and "The Ladies in Spring" was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
"Zhou Fang!"
"It's actually Zhou Fang's lost "Ladies in Spring"!"
Several experts in the antique industry immediately exclaimed, and they all observed whether it was genuine.
"Zhou Fang's true handiwork!"
"It's not an imitation, it's definitely from Zhou Fang!"
After observation and verification, several experts have come to their own conclusions.
People who know a little about calligraphy and painting collections have basically heard the name of Zhou Fang, after all, Zhou Fang was one of the top ten painters of the Tang Dynasty.
Confirming that this is Zhou Fang's heirloom work, the eyes of many big bosses who love antiques suddenly became hot.
However, the price of a famous painting is absolutely very high, especially a historical one like "The Lady in Spring", which is absolutely impossible to take without tens of millions.
Some bosses with a net worth of only one or two hundred million, even if their eyes are bright, they can only think about it in their hearts, knowing that they can't buy this heirloom with their own financial resources.
Hong Jinzhong, the chairman of the Hong Group, has a particularly hot eye, he loves the pictures of ladies, and he has two collections at home, but those two are not from the hands of famous artists, and Zhou Fang's "Ladies in Spring" cannot be compared.
In addition to Ang Jinzhong, several other business tycoons also showed strong interest.
One of the business tycoons said to Ma Xiangfu: "Old Ma, I plan to buy your painting and make a price!"
"Hehe, Boss Lao, tonight is an appreciation meeting, and "Ladies in Spring" will not be auctioned for the time being. Ma Xiangfu said with a smile.
"Old Ma, you're not kind, you make everyone itch, but you say you won't auction?" said a red-faced boss.
"Lao Ma, you said that you will not auction it for the time being, then you will have to sell this masterpiece sooner or later, why don't you organize the auction now, I think we should be able to give you a satisfactory price." "Hong Jinzhong put pressure on Ma Xiangfu, which means that if you Ma Xiangfu don't auction it now, you just look down on our net worth.
"This-"
Ma Xiangfu was a little embarrassed, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Yidong nodding at him, so he smiled and said: "Hehe, since everyone is so enthusiastic, then I will host a special auction of "Ladies in Spring" tonight. ”
......
Everyone then moved to a small auction hall in the villa, and only a few bigwigs with a net worth of more than one billion yuan were eligible to participate in the auction, and the others could only watch from the sidelines.
"Hmph, little farmer, what if you have a little money, are you qualified to participate in this kind of high-end auction?"
Hong Tao, who was sitting not far from Wang Yidong, saw his father sitting in the VIP seat in the front row, and a sense of superiority arose, and he looked at Wang Yidong and sneered: "The background of my family is not comparable to that of a small farmer like you!"
Although Hong Tao's words were a bit arrogant, the people around him also agreed in their hearts, the Hong family has a deep heritage and many industries, even the mayor has to give three points.
Wang Yidong glanced at Hong Tao in disgust: "Do you have a hundred million, shut up if you don't have one." ”
"You-" Hong Tao froze, and said in a dark voice: "I will naturally have 100 million in the future, and you will never have it in your lifetime, a small farmer!"
"Yes, you'll find out later. Wang Yidong didn't mind slapping this rich second generation who looked down on farmers in the face again, and said lightly.
"Didn't you just use despicable means to win me some money, pay back 100 million, you can blow it!" Hong Tao's face was filled with contempt.
The people around him also shook their heads with a smile, this little farmer is too good at bragging, young people under the age of twenty, let alone farmers, even if the son of a big family doesn't have 100 million!
Xu Shiyu sat beside Wang Yidong and watched coldly, sneering in her heart, she dared to mock my old driver, just wait for her face to be swollen later!
"The special auction of "Ladies in Spring" starts now!"
On a round platform in front, Ma Xiangfu announced the start of the auction, and the audience fell silent, waiting with bated breath to witness the famous paintings.
"The starting price is 50 million, and each price increase must not be less than 1 million!"
When Ma Xiangfu reported the starting price, everyone's heart beat faster, and this will be a bid that will go down in the history of auctions in Lingzhou City.
"Sixty million!"
As soon as Ma Xiangfu's words fell, a big boss with a big belly immediately increased the price by 10 million.
"Sixty-five million!"
Other big bosses are also determined to win, and they don't blink at the price increase, which makes everyone's blood boil.
"Eighty million!"
Hong Jinzhong, the chairman of the Hong Group, raised the price by 15 million in one go, intending to make other big bosses retreat, and said loudly: "Boss Lao, Li Dong, I like this painting very much, if you let it go, it will be regarded as Hong owing you a favor." ”
Saying such things during the auction broke the rules of the auction house, but Ma Xiangfu didn't dare to say anything, because Hong Jinzhong was very difficult to mess with.
And the two big bosses were also a little jealous of Hong Jinzhong, and they also withdrew from the auction after a slight price increase, giving Hong Jinzhong face.
At this point, the price came to eighty-five million.
Hong Jinzhong was about to win "The Lady Traveling in Spring" at a price of 85 million, but at this time, Xu Ming, who had not raised a card, shouted: "100 million." ”
Just two words, like a bomb falling on the crowd of spectators, Hong Jinzhong's pupils shrank slightly.
In the business community of Lingzhou City, Xu Ming is not as feared as Hong Jinzhong, but no one dares to offend!
She is the sister of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and what is even more terrifying is that the Guangfu Tiger is her younger brother!
Canton Tigers, the business giants of the entire Canton Province, can often eat with the provincial party secretary!
However, Hong Jinzhong also has a backer behind him, and this backer is not very right from the Xu family, so he is not very afraid of Xu Ming.
"110 million!" Hong Jinzhong gritted his teeth and increased the price by another 10 million, he really likes the picture of a lady.
Xu Ming didn't particularly want "Ladies Traveling in Spring", she just wanted to give Wang Yidong an assist, and seeing that the price was about the same, she didn't increase the price anymore.
"I announce that Mr. Hong Jinzhong, chairman of Hong's Group, has won the ownership of "Ladies in Spring"!"
When Ma Xiangfu announced that Hong Jinzhong had obtained a famous painting, Hong Tao raised his chin, his face was full of pride, and he glanced at Wang Yidong: "Little farmer, you have seen the background of my family, this is the gap between you and me!"
At this time, Ma Xiangfu on the stage said again: "Let's ask the owner of "The Lady Traveling in Spring" to hand over this famous painting to her new owner. Mr. Wang Yidong, Mr. Hong Jinzhong, please!"
Hearing Wang Yidong's name, Hong Tao was stunned for a moment, are there two Wang Yidong here?
Next, Hong Tao's eyes widened, and his heart was extremely shocked.
I saw Wang Yidong walk up to the round platform, shake hands with Hong Jinzhong with a smile, and then hand over the lady picture to Hong Jinzhong!
"I'll go, this little farmer is actually the owner of the lady picture!"
"He really has 100 million!"
Listening to the exclamations of the people around him, Hong Tao couldn't wait to find a place to hide, his face was swollen!
Wang Yidong not only has 100 million, but this 100 million is still earned from his family!
