Chapter 148: The Same Thing
Chen Xiaoman picked up the two scrolls that Gong Anguo put on the table and stroked them gently. Is that Lu Chen really a painter, and he would really give his own works, but I don't know if he is graffiti or really painting, thinking of this, Chen Xiaoman actually burst out laughing.
Gong Anguo shook his head helplessly again, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and had to urge Chen Xiaoman to say:
"Manman, let's go over first, we can't let those big families wait! it's not too late to keep these and come back to see them, and they won't run away!"
Chen Xiaoman nodded, she felt that she was in a much better mood now, she carefully put away the two paintings, took them to the study, and put them in her most important collection room, her move made Gong Anguo roll her eyes. Two such works are placed side by side with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of collectibles, which is really too much to exalt them.
As soon as Chen Xiaoman got out of the car, he became the focus. Those young people from big families don't seem to be able to resist Chen Xiaoman's charm. They all moved closer to this side, and one of them, a tall, yellow-haired young man, crowded in front of them.
"Hello beautiful Miss Chen Xiaoman, I'm Kubas of the Rothfellard family! It's a pleasure to meet you!" the tall and handsome young man introduced himself very generously. Perhaps this was the only time he had moved his family out in front of others. Sure enough, after hearing him report to his home, some other young people silently occupied the back. Although no one would think that they were inferior in appearance to this young man, this family was something they did not dare to provoke.
Chen Xiaoman politely shook hands with the young man named Kubas, he knew that there were a few young people in the Rothfeld family who were still good, he had also heard of this Kubas, but he had never met him, and he heard that he had been studying at the world's top universities, majoring in business management. For such a young man who was so valued by the family, she didn't want to offend for no reason. Another one is in a good mood today, and I'm looking forward to the appearance of that painting.
Seeing Chen Xiaoman's charming smile, Kubasa lost his mind for a moment. As the object of the family's key training, his conditions are naturally understandable. There are countless girls I have seen, but a girl like Chen Xiaoman is really the first time I have seen it, and my heart seems to be beginning to fall.
Kubasa began to lead Chen Xiaoman very gentlemanly, and the young people around him were also jealous. I don't know why, Chen Xiaoman found that some of the old guys of the family did not appear at this auction, and basically young people participated in this auction. Did they regret the last time they bought it?
Of course, there is no objection to letting Chen Xiaoman preside over this auction, and these family upstarts definitely have no objection. It's better than having her sit next to that Kubas all the time.
"You must already know that last time there was a painting as a dark horse in the auction house, which sold for an amazing price, and many people are looking for another work, today I am fortunate to have another work of Mr. Huang also came to our auction, which is a lucky thing today!"
Chen Xiaoman still speaks so neatly and neatly, which is also her style. As soon as the words were finished, the audience erupted in thunderous applause, which seemed to be applauding for Chen Xiaoman.
After a while, the painting appeared on the big screen, and it still made people unable to understand what the painting was, it was much the same as the last time, but there were some slight differences, but the same thing was that there was no painter's name, and even the work without the painter's name was auctioned at a sky-high price, and this time people no longer dared to underestimate it.
"Uncle Ferris, is this the work?" asked Kubas, who stared at the big screen for a moment, turned his head and whispered to a man in his fifties next to him. This person was Ferris, and the old men of the family had specially arranged for him to come over to accompany Kubas.
Ferris nodded slightly, and then saw that Kubas's expression began to agitate. The same thing happened to the young people of the other major families, and they were also talking to some of the old people next to them.
"Okay, let's start the auction now! The starting price is 150 million, please bid!" Chen Xiaoman is a smart person, she saw that these people below were almost discussed, so she spoke.
Chen Xiaoman's voice fell, and there was silence underneath, and no one was in a hurry to bid, just staring at the big screen.
"160 million!" suddenly a voice erupted from the crowd. It's like throwing a pebble on a calm lake, and people start to stir.
"180 million"
"Two hundred million"
......
Banknotes are like the wind blowing, and the bidding is rising. But Kubas just tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, and did not rush to make a bid.
"Okay! Now this gentleman is bidding 520 million! There is no price increase, 520 million for the first time!520 million for the second time......" Chen Xiaoman's crisp voice echoed throughout the hall.
The young man who made the bid clenched his fists tightly, and kept shouting in his heart, hurry up and drop the hammer! Although their family is not bad for money, he thinks that it is already a bit extravagant for him to bid for a painting of unknown origin at this price, and I really don't know what those old guys in the family think.
Just when Chen Xiaoman was about to drop the hammer, she heard a voice:
"Six hundred million!"
Chen Xiaoman followed the voice and looked over, and saw that Kubasa had stood up at some point, and after shouting the price, he looked around with blazing eyes. The meaning was self-evident, he wanted to see who else would have trouble with his family, and that kind of domineering was no worse than his father Slude.
Sure enough, where his gaze swept over, people lowered their heads one after another, and the young man who shouted 520 million just now also glanced at Kubas fiercely, and then lowered his head.
"Okay! Now this gentleman is bidding 600 million, and there is no price increase, 600 million for the first time, 600 million for the second time!"
Chen Xiaoman nodded at Kubas and began to shout.
"Bang!" the hammer fell.
......
"I really shouldn't shirk that Kubas's invitation!" said Gong Anguo a little worried in the car home. Although he knew that Chen Xiaoman would not have anything to do with that Kubas, he would not be so cold before, as soon as the other party proposed to have dinner together, he immediately refused, could it be because of that Lu Chen!
It's just that after Chen Xiaoman heard this, she didn't speak, but just stared out the car window, and she was thinking about another question at this time. That's why the two paintings don't see any differences, but they are being auctioned by these big families. With her own understanding of art, there is no provenance of this work, and I don't know which master's work it is. Second, if the work is very collectible, she should also know how to appreciate it, but no matter how you look at it, it is just an abstract painting, this time it is really too unexpected for her, is there a secret behind these two paintings that she does not know.
Chen Xiaoman, who returned home, hurriedly ate a bite of food and immediately went into his study, Gong Anguo looked at the back of Chen Xiaoman leaving, and frowned. But immediately his face turned ugly, for he remembered that there seemed to be two things in the study.
After Chen Xiaoman closed the door of the study, he came to his collection room, and then carefully took out the two paintings that Lu Chen gave him. She knew that she didn't regard Lu Chen's two paintings as world-famous paintings, but it was precisely because they were sent by Lu Chen that she still attached great importance to them.
Slowly unwrap the outer packaging, perhaps because the painting is thicker, and the canvas is a little distorted.
The painting is not large, but it is similar to the one at the auction, and as the picture unfolds, Chen Xiaoman begins to froze.
