Chapter 924: Auction
War Hall Auction.
At this moment, the hall is crowded with people, gathering many wealthy people, upper-class celebrities and aristocrats, and the people who can be invited to participate in the auction are all people with status and status in country M.
Of course, there are also many people who come here, and although their status is not prominent in the eyes of outsiders, their wealth is amazing.
The Counts of Woodwind and Monte Cristo were undoubtedly the two of the higher status on the scene, sitting in the front row of the auction in the best position.
The auction has been carried out to two-thirds, and the early auction is the works of contemporary painters, including oil paintings, landscape paintings, etc., all of which are from the world's painting elites, works above the master level.
Secondly, there are some carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, ceramic carvings, etc., which are highly representative and artistic.
Earl Mufeng shook his head and said softly: "Renaissance, there are too many famous artists all over the world, there are art exhibitions everywhere, although the works are good, but they are just okay, and they can't be compared with the previous masters." ”
The Count of Monte Cristo also nodded and said, "Indeed, how can a good work come out so easily?" These works can only barely reach the beginning of art, without revealing the essence and unable to resonate with the human soul. ”
The Count of Mufeng and the Count of Monte Cristo like to collect paintings and calligraphy, and they have already developed a pair of sharp eyes, and the quality of the works can be distinguished at a glance.
At the end of the two of them, although there were a few good works, they were far from the calligraphy works they had seen during the day, and they were completely incomparable.
Originally, they still had some meaning for some works, but when they thought of the words during the day, they became absent-minded, and these works were dispensable.
"500,000, deal!"
A wealthy businessman auctioned the calligraphy work of a calligraphy master in Yanguo at an auction price of 500,000 yuan, with a joyful expression on his face.
He had admired this master for a long time, and he was originally worried that the Count of Mufeng and the Count of Monte Cristo would participate in the bidding, because the two of them had a lot of money, and if the two of them participated in the bidding, it would be impossible for him to win the painting for 500,000 yuan.
It's just that I don't seem to have seen the Count of Mufeng and the Count of Monte Cristo bid today, what's the situation?
The rich merchant's excited eyes were full of doubt, this was not the style of the Count of Mufeng and the Count of Monte Cristo.
Earl Mu Feng looked at the rich merchant's surprised eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
That work, he looked at it carefully, it was tangible and godless, it was a good work for ordinary collectors, but it couldn't get into his eyes, especially after reading Lin Xiao's words, these works were scum in his eyes.
He was now very much looking forward to seeing the calligraphy he saw during the day, and now that he thought about it, he had a lot of aftertaste, and that kind of resonance from the soul had not appeared in many years.
The Count of Monte Cristo also had the same idea, his main purpose tonight was Lin Xiao's calligraphy, and the spiritual resonance of the day moment was unforgettable until now.
And behind the seat, there was a man wearing sunglasses, quietly hiding, and the people around him did not dare to approach, because when they approached, they would feel a sense of depression.
This person is none other than the Earth Ugly Star.
He was also very much looking forward to the pair of calligraphy he saw during the day, others may not know the value of this pair, but he knew very well that it could be used to cultivate killing power!
Earth Ugly Star has been trapped at the threshold of killing for a long time, and he has never been able to break through, not because he hasn't killed enough, but because of his own factors.
If there is a work that can be brought to affect his spirit, he can hope to break through, and that calligraphy has it!
From the first glance at that calligraphy, the Earth Ugly Star knew that his opportunity to break through the Killing Soldier King had arrived.
So, no matter what the price is tonight, he has to get this calligraphy.
The status of the Semi-Infantry King is completely different from that of the real Killing Soldier King, and since Gareth's death, the other Soldier Kings have been eyeing the concentration camp, and he must be a fake soldier king, so what qualifications do he have to be in charge of the concentration camp.
Now the top of the organization is pressing, but if he doesn't fight, the other party won't give him too many opportunities.
The ugly star's eyes flashed with blazing light, and he already regarded this painting as something in his bag, and if anyone insisted on fighting him, he would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.
In the torment of the ugly star, it was finally the finale of the auction, and Director Roman personally came to the stage to explain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we are going to auction the last artwork of this auction, this is a calligraphy work with a very special artistic conception, different people will have different feelings when watching it...... "Director Roman said excitedly.
The accompanying curator explained, and everyone couldn't help but be curious, not to mention the works that will be auctioned, just letting Director Roman personally introduce them on stage is already a high recognition.
You must know that Director Roman himself is a master of connoisseurship art, and he has a deep knowledge of appreciation, and the works he recommends must not be wrong.
Now, there are few works that deserve to be auctioned in person.
Everyone was suddenly full of anticipation.
"Okay, I'll just say that, and you'll get the rest up for yourselves." Curator Roman sold a guanzi.
After the curator finished speaking, he handed over the rest to the host, and got off the host stage himself, and then Lin Xiao's calligraphy works were pushed out.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on calligraphy, and they were all curious about what kind of calligraphy was worthy of such praise from Director Roman.
When everyone's eyes focused on calligraphy, their hearts trembled, and their minds seemed to be hallucinating.
"Well, how do I feel like I'm seeing a wild wolf pounce on me?" A wealthy businessman's face changed slightly, and his breathing became short.
"Wolves? You read it wrong, how do I feel like a tiger descending from a mountain, the momentum is like a rainbow, and it makes people feel intimidated. ”
"Wouldn't it? You are all wrong, it is a generous old cow, silently dedicating himself! ”
"No, you're not right, it's a majestic golden eagle, an eagle striking the sky!"
"It's the green dragon, soaring!"
……
Suddenly, different people have different feelings, some people say that they still see a wolf, some people say they see a python, and they even say that they see a bird.
In short, everyone has their own way of saying.
In fact, whatever they say is correct, the main thing is that everyone's personality is different, so the pictures they see are different and the feelings are different.
In the past, the fierce tigers painted by Tang Bohu could be scary when hung out at night, that is, the painting had momentum, and Lin Xiao had 9 different killing potentials, so they naturally saw different feelings.
The crowd kept exclaiming, and although they didn't understand why they felt this way, there was no doubt that this was a very collectible work of art, much better than the previous 500,000 calligraphy work.
After everyone finished appreciating it, the excited auctioneer shouted: "This calligraphy artwork has a starting price of 100,000 yuan." ”
If this calligraphy can fetch a sky-high price in his hands, it is also his honor, and his value will naturally rise.
Lakh?
If it is a historical painting, the starting price of 100,000 yuan is pitifully low, but for modern calligraphers, the starting price of 100,000 yuan is very high.
The previous master's painting, the starting price is 50,000 yuan, although the artistic conception of this painting is very high, but the author is not well-known, no one knows at all, and the starting price is very high.
"I'll give 200,000." A wealthy merchant who loved calligraphy shouted.
"I'll give 300,000." Another wealthy businessman shouted.
Although they don't understand the special features of this painting, they are not short of money to be able to come here to participate in the auction, and they like this work, so they are naturally willing to throw money into it.
"500,000." Count Mufeng spoke.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were full of surprise when they looked at Earl Mufeng, Earl Mufeng finally made a bid, and it was such a high price as soon as he opened his mouth.
"700,000." The Count of Monte Cristo shouted.
"900,000."
"1 million." Earl Mufeng shouted through gritted teeth.
Suddenly, everyone's surprised eyes looked at the Count of Mufeng and the Count of Monte Cristo.
Although this work is good, if they spend 1 million to buy it, it is indeed a bit much, after all, no one's money is picked up.
The main thing, of course, is that they all feel that the work is not worth so much money.
When the price shouted to 1 million, the whole venue suddenly fell silent, which for many people, an unknown work, 1 million, is already sky-high.
Just when everyone thought that this was already the highest price, suddenly, a person in the corner shouted: "2 million." ”
It was the ugly star who shouted.
Count Mufeng was secretly surprised, but he did want this letter, he could see the tiger from above, which would inspire him to fight.
"2.1 million."
Earth Ugly Star shouted again: "3 million." ”
Count Mu Feng's heart trembled, this price was already beyond his bottom line, and he immediately looked at the Count of Monte Cristo and said, "Let it be given to you." ”
The corners of the Count's mouth twitched.
"3.1 million."
"5 million."
Without any hesitation, the Earth Ugly Star reported it directly.
Hiss!
Hiss!
Countless people around couldn't help but gasp, with a shocked expression on their faces.
This is terrifying, you must know that such a price is already the price of the works of contemporary grandmasters.
The Count of Mufeng and the Count of Monte Cristo had a helpless look on their faces when they saw each other's high prices.
At the price of 5 million, Curator Roman was also surprised, and he didn't expect Lin Xiao's words to be so popular.
At the end of the auction, Di Ugly Star directly swiped the card to pay the bill, with the loaded calligraphy, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, but when he just walked out of the exhibition hall, Luo Bing and more than a dozen law enforcers were already waiting at the door, and the dark muzzles of more than a dozen guns were aimed at Di Ugly Star at the same time.
Luo Bing immediately confiscated the calligraphy in Di Chouxing's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Follow us to the Law Enforcement Bureau, someone accused you of murdering a student at West Point School!" ”
