"Mr. Yan, long time no see!"

The person who came was a tall middle-aged man with a big belly, and his thick golden curls made him look like a rich lion king, and he walked with a tiger's style.

Seeing that someone was coming, Yan Huaizuo returned to his usual appearance, although it was not difficult to deal with, but it definitely had nothing to do with being amiable.

"Hello, Mr. Russell!" Yan Huaizuo shook hands with him and said hello.

"Who is this?"

Russell looked at Yan Fuguang, his eyes were full of amazement, he was definitely not the only one who was curious about this girl today.

The pride in Yan Huaizuo's tone couldn't be concealed at all, and he solemnly introduced: "This is my daughter Yan Fuguang!" ”

"Yan Yan, this is Mr. Russell, a famous art dealer in New York."

Yan Fuguang nodded slightly: "Fortunately." ”

Russell didn't expect that this girl who amazed the audience turned out to be Yan Huaizuo's daughter, why had she never heard of it!

"Hello Miss Yan, you are so beautiful today! Others say that Yan's paintings are the most beautiful, but in fact, Yan's most perfect work should be Miss Yan! ”

Today's occasion and the academic field basically do not intersect, it is normal for Russell not to know Yan Fuguang, but he speaks very directly, appreciation is appreciation, even if Yan Fuguang does not have jewelry today, she is still the most dazzling pearl in the audience today.

Some people praise their hearts and minds, and the smile on Yan Huai's left face is obviously a lot more, which can be regarded as talking about his heart, and his most beloved work in his life will always be Yan Fuguang.

Yan Huaizuo was so happy that he even joked with Russell: "No matter how nice you say, it's useless, I don't count the auction!" ”

Russell, the most well-known art dealer in New York City and the entire East Coast, must have come today to shoot "June-October" on behalf of a wealthy client.

Unless Yan Huaizuo withdraws the auction himself, Russell can only get what he wants.

Russell laughed: "Of course, of course, but if you are willing to cooperate with the Lira Gallery, won't you be able to make full decisions!" The whole world knows that there is never a shortage of buyers for Yan's works! ”

It's here to pull business again, Yan Huaizuo but smiled silently.

He has encountered countless such scenarios over the years, and it is because he does not want to deal with countless buyers that he has worked with Christie's for so many years.

Even though Russell was one of the best art dealers in the world, he didn't want to cause trouble.

Of course, Russell is not in a hurry, business is not negotiated in a day, if Yan Huaizuo is so good at talking, no one will be able to steal Christie's business for so many years, so Russell took the initiative to leave after greeting for a while.

It's just that Yan Fuguang didn't expect that she could also meet acquaintances here.

When Taylor Kaufman appeared before her, she suddenly remembered that the Trinity Trustee seemed to have a reputation as a collector.

"Good evening, Mr. Yan!" Taylor walked towards the two with a smile on his face, "Miss Yan, meet again!" ”

Yan Huaizuo was stunned, he had seen Taylor Kaufman a few times at art exhibitions and auctions, but he didn't expect this person to know Yan Fuguang.

Yan Fuguang explained in a low voice, and Yan Huaizuo understood.

"No wonder Miss Yan likes art, it turns out to be a family history!"

Taylor was always a kind old man, unhurried and talkative.

"Miss Yan, in a few days, the whole of New York, oh no, I should say that the whole world will cheer for you, you are a great genius!"

"It's a prize, but who knows what the future holds?" Yan Fuguang didn't answer, and he didn't have any intention of being complacent.

Taylor still hasn't forgotten the topic of last time, and he sent an invitation to Yan Fuguang again.

"If Miss Yan is willing to come to Trinity, you can call on all the academic resources of mathematics researchers, and if you ask for anything else, we will do our best to meet them."

Taylor's persistence did not surprise Yan Fuguang, after all, Qian Mingli said early on that almost every famous school was looking for her.

"Mr. Kaufman, I ......"

But this time, Taylor rarely interrupted Yan Fuguang with some rudeness.

"Miss Yan, don't be busy refusing first, you can say anything you have any concerns or requests, Trinity is looking forward to your arrival with 100% enthusiasm!" After pondering for a few seconds, Taylor added, "I wonder if I have the honor to invite Miss Yan to visit Trinity University?" ”

Seeing that Yan Fuguang was not interested in Taylor's proposal, Yan Huaizuo took over the conversation: "Mr. Kaufman, we will consider your proposal more, thank you for your kind invitation." ”

Once again frustrated by Yan Fuguang, Taylor did not show any unhappiness, he still maintained his usual elegance.

"You're welcome, in your Huaguo's words, this should be 'thirsty for talent'!" Taylor said with a smile.

Although it sounds like an out-and-out foreign accent, Taylor's ability to speak so thoughtlessly shows that he also has some knowledge of Chinese culture.

"Then I won't bother the two of you."

Taylor bowed politely, and then said to Yan Fuguang with a smile: "Miss Yan, I look forward to the moment when you shine on the podium!" ”

"Thank you."

Seeing Taylor go away, Yan Huaizuo looked at Yan Fuguang with some excitement, and only felt an incomparable pride and pride.

"I never imagined in my life that my daughter would become a mathematician!" Yan Huaizuo patted his daughter's shoulder, "Don't be burdened, no matter where you want to go or what you want to do, Dad will always support you!" ”

Yan Huaizuo never felt that Yan Fuguang had to do anything, and his only expectation for his daughter since he was a child was to hope that she would live happily and comfortably.

Time flies quickly, and at 19:30 in the evening the auction officially raises the gavel.

The works in this auction are all paintings, including masterpieces by the world's top artists such as Yoshitomo Nara, Adrian Gurney, David Hockney, Yayoi Kusama, and Chen Yifei.

In addition to "June-October", one of the most eye-catching paintings in the audience was Picasso's "Bust of a Man in a Frame".

The painting is small in size, only 92x73cm, but as long as it is suffix Pablo Picasso, it is synonymous with rare treasures.

In the end, the work was also sold for $22.3 million, temporarily topping the market with the highest price to date.

Now everyone's expectations are focused on the final lot, and what kind of price will this 1000x2800cm "June-October" sell for the world.

It may be difficult for those who have not experienced the auction scene to understand that the atmosphere is so intense that even the air seems to be hot and hot.

On-the-spot bidding, or quotation through the agent's telephone call, every needle-to-wheat competition, every confrontation with visible or invisible opponents.

Millions, tens of millions of dollars climbed rapidly between the auctioneer's lips and teeth, and when the auctioneer finally said "Congratulations!" At that moment, the audience applauded.

The hammer price is 86.78 million US dollars, and after the commission is included, the transaction price is as high as 98.06 million US dollars!
