97. Auctions

When Zhang Yuxin came out after washing, he didn't escape from Guan Huang's clutches in the end.

The direct consequence was that she couldn't participate in the charity auction at night, and she scolded Guan Huang as a "bastard." ”

Zhang Yuxin couldn't get out of bed, Qin Xiaolan naturally had no problem, she didn't need to prepare much, she called over with a text message.

The two met in front of the hotel.

Dressed in a green suspender sequined dress, she attracted the attention of men as soon as she appeared.

Women in their 30s have abandoned the overly casual style in their dressing.

The slim fit highlights Qin Xiaolan's curves.

The short skirt style shows off the beautiful leg line.

Not only sexy, but also stylish and personal.

"How's my body?"

Guan Huang: "Perfect. ”

Qin Xiaolan happily held the man's arm, "You know how to coax me." ”

"Seriously."

Why does Guan Huang prefer mature women?

Compared with the past, 30-year-old women often have little change in figure, but their temperament is far better than that of the girly stage.

Especially that sense of charm, when combined with clothes that show the figure, will make women more amorous.

The sundress exposes a large area of skin on the shoulders, neck and legs, making it even more delicate and translucent.

Qin Xiaolan smiled with her eyebrows, "It was too late when you called, and you didn't do your hair." ”

Guan Huang: "It's already beautiful, especially here. ”

Qin Xiaolan was coquettish, "I hate it." ”

Guan Huang: "Is the house set?" ”

Qin Xiaolan: "You haven't seen it yet?" ”

Guan Huang: "You're fine." ”

"No, you have to see."

Guan Huang thought for a moment, "Then these two days, you wait for my call." ”

"Okay."

……

I haven't seen it for a few days, and it's a bit of honey and oil.

The two walked while talking, and soon teased the beauty softly.

"David, this way."

As soon as he walked into the banquet hall, Gao Yongsheng greeted him.

Guan Huang: "You came quite early. ”

Gao Yongsheng smiled, "The big guy always appears at the last moment, and I, as a small soldier, can only fight the outpost." ”

Guan Huang was noncommittal, "What's the arrangement tonight?" ”

Gao Yongsheng: "No new ideas, leader's speech, charity auction, buffet." ”

Guan Huang nodded.

Gao Yongsheng: "By the way, there are a few friends who want to get to know you......"

Guan Huang: "Who are they?" ”

Gao Yongsheng said a few names, "It's all investment banks, you see......"

Guan Huang smiled, "It's good to see you." ”

Gao Yongsheng was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately." ”

Guan Huang slapped Qin Xiaolan's buttocks, "You go shopping by yourself first." ”

Qin Xiaolan hummed obediently.

She has always known the severity, when to be coquettish, when to be obedient, and she is familiar with it.

Gao Yongsheng said to the secretary, "You accompany Miss Qin." ”

"Okay."

Guan Huang and the two left.

Xiao Zhou said with a smile, "Miss Qin, I don't know if there is anything you like?" ”

Qin Xiaolan remembered that the relationship between the two started with a charity auction, and thought that fate was really wonderful.

"Let's take a look?"

"Okay."

The two walked to an exhibit, and Xiao Zhou helped to introduce,

"This is Zhu Qi (Bada Shanren)'s "Momeitu", 125×34 cm, the auction price is 20 million, and the price is increased by 1 million each time."

She kept all the auction information in her mind.

Qin Xiaolan couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at the few ink strokes.

This thing is worth 20 million?

"It's too expensive."

Xiao Zhou said with a smile, "Zhu Qi is a flower family in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, a generation of grandmasters of Chinese painting, he can write poetry, good at calligraphy and painting, flowers and birds are mainly freehand in ink and wash, and the landscape master is Dong Qichang, the image is exaggerated and peculiar, the pen and ink are condensed and resolute, the pen is concise, there is a quiet interest, and the rhyme of sparseness." ”

Qin Xiaolan looked carefully, it was indeed concise enough.

Write it down.

It's just that appreciation can't.

If you only consider the price, let alone 20 million, she doesn't think 20,000 is worth it.

Xiao Zhou's voice changed, "If Miss Qin likes it, you can buy it, and there is a lot of room for appreciation in the future." ”

It's not like she's talking nonsense.

In recent years, cultural consumption has gradually become a new fashion.

The increasing emphasis on art consumption has gradually evolved into a rigid demand of the wealthy class.

In the eyes of collectors and investors, calligraphy and paintings, especially modern landscape paintings, have repeatedly reached new highs at auction prices, becoming the most watched category in the market.

Qin Xiaolan stuck out her tongue, "I can't afford it." ”

Secretary Zhou seemed to be smiling.

Qin Xiaolan understood what she meant, you can't afford it, isn't it still about Huang?

I opened my mouth to explain, but I didn't know where to start.

Not to mention Guan Huang's scandal, everyone knows it.

It's also full of wind and rain.

Passed around, unrecognizable.

Chong Guan is angry and red-faced!

Secretary Zhou didn't continue to say until he reached the point.

Qin Xiaolan was a little weak-hearted, "That, Mr. Guan and I are just very good friends......

Secretary Zhou glanced around, "Shall we go over there and sit?" ”

Qin Xiaolan was a little strange, but she didn't say anything, and nodded, "Okay." ”

The two found a corner.

After Secretary Zhou sat down, he showed a little decadence, "Xiaolan, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I have been with Gao Yongsheng for three years." ”

One sentence shortened the distance between the two sides.

Qin Xiaolan was a little embarrassed and a little relieved at the same time.

No more pretending.

Secretary Zhou: "Man, hehe, some things still have to rely on yourself." ”

Qin Xiaolan opened her mouth.

Secretary Zhou looked at the bustling crowd, as if sneering and calming, "Gao Yongsheng is a person who is mean and unkind, moody and angry, in a good mood, sweet words, and in a bad mood...... I've had enough of him. ”

Qin Xiaolan wanted to comfort a few words, but she didn't know where to start.

Secretary Zhou took out a lady's cigarette and gestured.

Qin Xiaolan said she didn't mind.

Secretary Zhou spit out a smoke ring and cocked Erlang's legs, "Mr. Guan is still young, and he can see that he is also very obsessed with you." ”

"I ......" Qin Xiaolan wanted to deny it, but the other party was so frank that she was embarrassed to lie again.

Secretary Zhou: "To be honest, I envy you very much, meeting a responsible man is what many women dream of." ”

Qin Xiaolan smiled, "It's also my luck to meet him." ”

The fierce conflict last time not only moved her, but even remembered it in her heart.

It was also from that time that she was completely involved in this relationship.

Secretary Zhou continued: "Twenty years old is the age of full of feelings, whether it is love or hate, invested in body and mind, Gao Yongsheng has evolved into a 10,000-year-old turtle. ”

Qin Xiaolan: "Mr. Gao, are you okay?" ”

Secretary Zhou sneered: "He, hehe, don't talk about him, Xiaolan, there are some things you have to think about, Guan always likes you now, but the days will be long." ”

Qin Xiaolan's face changed.

It is easy to grow old, which is every woman's biggest nightmare.

Although Guan Huang is love is deep now, when Shaohua is really gone, she is not sure what the man will think.

Secretary Zhou did not continue.

This kind of thing, outsiders don't say much, she also thinks about not doing it, and she is excited to say a few more words.

The two were chatting when a voice interrupted,

"Miss Qin, what a coincidence."

Qin Xiaolan turned her head to look at it, and couldn't help frowning, Zhang Lanling didn't know when she would appear beside her.

A faint greeting, "Hello." ”

Zhang Lanling didn't care at all, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you see Mr. Guan?" ”

"He's talking about things."

Zhang Lanling: "It's really unfortunate, I still want to talk to him, now everyone is spreading, Mr. Guan and I are jealous for a play, isn't this nonsense, I am half cut into the ground, I was scolded twice, it's nothing, Mr. Guan will have a long life in the future." ”

Qin Xiaolan held the chair handle tightly and did not speak.

Zhang Lanling continued, "Miss Qin helped me pass on a message, it is better to settle the grievance, I am very sincere, haha." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qin Xiaolan to answer, he turned around and left.

Secretary Zhou looked at the other party's distant back, and couldn't help but say, "Is he that person?" ”

Although the words are not explicit, they understand each other.

Qin Xiaolan said "um".

Secretary Zhou didn't speak again.

Although Guan Huang is not easy to mess with, Professor Zhang is not an ordinary person.

Neither of them can help anyone.

Before Qin Xiaolan could collect her thoughts, she saw Guan Huang coming over, and hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Do you have a favorite?"

Qin Xiaolan shook her head, "No, you know, I don't know much about this." ”

It wasn't until now that she suddenly realized that it was so important to have a man around her.

As soon as Guan Huang appeared, the pressure brought to him by Zhang Lanling disappeared completely.

Guan Huang smiled, "You have to know that culture is not that important, we just want to be an appreciator - let art serve me, not me serve art, the key is not whether you understand it, but whether you are interested." ”

Secretary Zhou interjected, "Then Mr. Guan, how should we treat these artworks?" ”

In normal times, she would definitely not dare to talk casually.

After making up his mind to leave, he calmed down a lot.

Guan Huang smiled, "Grasp the four words, I am the main one, the artwork is not a person, let alone a wife, you don't have to be dedicated to it, you don't have to think about how it feels, you don't even have to respect it." You look or not, it's just honestly there. ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were surprised.

Contrary to common sense.

The general perception is that there is a lot of preparation to appreciate a work of art, and it is necessary to read the explanatory text of the exhibit repeatedly, and strive to understand the work to the greatest extent possible, and strive to achieve a level of empathy with the author.

Secretary Zhou is like this, all the information of this auction, not to say that it is like a stream, at least it can be roughly said.

Unexpectedly, in Guan Huang's eyes, these are not worth mentioning.

Guan Huang continued, "A person's time is very limited, and the cultural works outside are almost unlimited, our principle is to start from our own interests, appreciate the works efficiently, and the ultimate goal is to improve ourselves. ”

The two of them had a vague understanding.

Secretary Zhou sighed even more in his heart, Guan Huang achieved such a great achievement at a young age, not just luck.

The perspective of looking at problems and thinking about things is different from ordinary people.

It can't be said to be true, but a person who can have two contradictory thoughts in his mind at the same time is not a simple person.

A few people chatted casually, and the charity auction officially began.

Jewelry in the first half, calligraphy and painting in the second half.

Balance between men and women.

At the instigation of Guan Huang, Qin Xiaolan made a few moves:

60,000 auctions for South Sea pearls with sapphire and diamond earrings, 40,000 for natural green jadeite with diamond brooches, and 55,000 for 5.70 carats of tourmaline with sapphire and diamond brooches......

Shopping is easy to stimulate emotions and relieve stress, after a whole purchase, Qin Xiaolan's whole person is in high spirits, snuggling up to the man's side, exuding a charming charm,

"Buying too much."

Guan Huang's fingers rubbed lightly on the woman's waist, "Is it too much?" Not much, go back and show it to me. ”

Qin Xiaolan: "I can bring it for you to see later." ”

"No clothes."

"Annoying", Qin Xiaolan was ashamed.

Guan Huang endured the pride in his heart, watching the beauty laughing and resentful in his hands, which was not funny.

went to the troubles in her heart, Qin Xiaolan told the man what happened just now.

Guan Huang sneered after hearing this, "I don't know if I live or die." ”

Qin Xiaolan was a little worried, "I see that the call for regulation has become more and more loud recently. ”

Guan Huang was a little moved.

Qin Xiaolan has always been worried about this matter, and usually pays attention to the news in this regard, although she can't give advice or help speak out, but her mind is always there.

"Don't worry, whether the supervision is supervised or not, it's not this old man who is not ashamed to have the final say."

This is somewhat comforting.

If before, Zhang Lanling was just beating the side drum and issuing articles, when the regulators gradually reached an agreement, Zhang Lanling could play a greater role.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the heart to come to the door tonight to make a few jokes.

Qin Xiaolan didn't seem to understand, and nodded.

Secretary Zhou, who had been with the two of them, saw this and inserted a needle, "That, Mr. Guan, I got a message, I don't know if you are useful?" ”

"Oh?"

"Among the auctions tonight is Feng Zikai's "Cooking Meat and Smelling Fragrance", with a reserve price of 100,000 yuan, and it is said that Professor Zhang likes this painting very much."

Guan Huang glanced at her, "Okay." ”

This week, the secretary is a caring person.

……

Soon, "Cooking Meat Smells Fragrant" was reported.

29.6×39.3 cm, simple and simple style, timeless and subtle artistic conception, is a bridge between literature and painting......

Sure enough, as soon as the host's voice fell, Zhang Lanling first quoted, "One hundred thousand." ”

Someone raised the price by 10,000, "110,000." ”

"One hundred and twenty thousand."

……

Zhang Lanling saw that there were many competitors, thought about it, and directly increased the price by 80,000, "200,000." ”

The venue was silent, and suddenly no one answered.

Once you've demonstrated your determination to win, your competitors will think about it.

On the one hand, it is worth it, and on the other hand, it also sells the other party a face.

It is not a conflict of interests, and it is not easy to make enemies.

Although because of the location angle, everyone can't sit in the right seat.

But the information is public, and you can find out after a little inquiry.

It's not worth it to die for a painting and a person.

Zhang Lanling was proud.

He was the poorest of all the people in the room, but he was able to get his wish.

Auctions are strategic, and it is also a kind of wisdom to be able to buy the items you want at a very low price.

However, before the host could knock the hammer, Guan Huang made a move,

"Five hundred thousand."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then there was a lot of discussion.

It's not a lot of money, but the-for-tat meaning is too strong.

Normal auctions, plus one or two thousand, are normal.

Directly doubled, in general, that is, to hit you with money!

Everyone couldn't help but see which two people had met together.

Soon someone saw the numbers of Guan Huang and Zhang Lanling.
