Chapter 209: First Meeting with Father Wen
Lin Yuhang suddenly saw Ye Fan and Wen Lan whispering with smiles, a look of jealousy appeared in his eyes, and he frowned when he thought of Ye Fan's family background.
What qualifications does Ye Fan have to appear on such an occasion? Any painting here costs millions, can he afford it?
Lin Yuhang remembered that he had just made the online store a little better, because of the Spring Festival holiday, the express delivery did not deliver for more than half a month, and the sales fell again, so he wondered in his heart.
Fortunately, the operation master who was invited with a lot of money said that it was because of force majeure, and when he came to work in the next year, he would naturally be able to sell it if he had another wave of loss impulse.
Although Lin Yuhang looked down on Ye Fan, he didn't make such a stupid scene as stepping forward to question Ye Fan on such a formal occasion.
"Xiaolan, Ye Fan, long time no see." Yu Chun also quickly spotted Ye Fan and Wen Lan, and he walked over to say hello.
Yu Chun thought that his father was not free to come tonight, so he gave millions of himself to support Zhang Yuntian's seniors, and now when he saw Ye Fan, he was very happy in his heart.
Because the last time he bought a car, he was embarrassed in front of Ye Fan, and he thought that he could get his face back this time.
Xu Ban thought that Yu Chun came with millions of cash in his hand, and he said triumphantly: "Ye Fan, you also came here to buy paintings?" ”
Ye Fan said noncommittally: "Let's see if there is a match between the eyes." ”
Xu Ban said triumphantly: "That's to join in the fun, we Chun Shao are determined to win tonight, and we are ready to take a few pictures of calligraphy and painting to support Zhang Yuntian's predecessors." ”
"Oh, I don't know, Xu Shao, how many paintings and calligraphy are you going to take again?" Ye Fan changed his words and said with interest.
"I ......" Xu Ban was speechless all of a sudden, I was accompanied by Chun Shao, I was a follower, I shoot wool.
"Flutter." Seeing that Xu Ban was speechless, Wen Lan smiled.
"Xiaolan, let's go over there and take a look." Ye Fan didn't bother to listen to this Xu Ban's bragging.
After a while, Ye Fan saw that Father Wen was looking at the painting alone, and he thought that he was a junior, and he had slept with someone else's daughter, so he should take the initiative to say hello.
The exhibition hall of the art exhibition center is very large, and there are only more than 100 people on site, many of whom are security guards and waiters, so there are a lot of empty places.
Wen Huashan looked at his daughter and Ye Fan who came over in front of a picture of no one, he was silent on the surface, but he remembered Ye Fan's details.
This kid comes from an ordinary background, he mixes well in school, and he has a very good relationship with women, and he has a bit of the demeanor of my youth, but it's a pity that it's not my son, but wants to be my son-in-law.......
Ye Fan walked up to Father Wen and greeted him respectfully, "Hello Uncle Wen, I'm Ye Fan." ”
"You call me Uncle Wen?" Wen Huashan pulled his daughter without a trace, and said in a calm tone.
When he spoke, Wen Huashan looked at his daughter, but he didn't look at Ye Fan, it seemed that he was planning to give Ye Fan a dismount.
Seeing the other party's cold attitude, Ye Fan said generously: "Xiaolan and I are classmates, you are Xiaolan's father, then you are an elder, I call you uncle, and it should be." ”
Seeing Father Wen's arrogant appearance, thinking that Wen Lan was often called "Dad", Ye Fan smiled slightly, at some point, we are also considered peers.
Seeing Ye Fan's smile, Wen Huashan was always a little inexplicable, he changed his words, pointed to the painting in front of him and said, "Ye Fan, do you know how to paint?" ”
Ye Fan saw the oil painting in front of him, painted with all kinds of colorful eyes, it looked very spicy, and the price was 1 million!
No wonder no one has come to see this painting, art is not something that a mortal like me can understand.
Ye Fan took a brief look at it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wen, I can't understand this foreign painting ......."
"Oh? So what about this Chinese painting? Wenhuashan pointed to a Chinese painting next to him with great interest, Zhang Daqian's copy of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map".
Ye Fan looked at it for a while, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something, he thought about it, and said seriously: "This mountain dwelling map, it looks like the mountains are majestic and magnificent, and it has the potential to be thousands of miles away, but unfortunately this method is a little immature, I guess it is a copy of Master Zhang when he was young." ”
Seeing that Ye Fan said decently, Wen Lan's beautiful eyes next to him blinked, he was also surprised, Brother Fan, are you serious? You even know that?
Wen Huashan nodded: "You can see this, it's already a beginner." ”
"My dad is a lover of calligraphy and painting, I know a little about it." Ye Fan said very modestly that since he was a child, he still knows a little bit.
Besides, he can't understand the skills and connotations of calligraphy and painting, but he can understand the price, and when he sees the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" copied by Zhang Daqian in front of him, the price is only 400,000, and he naturally knows what to say.
"Oh? I see, I have a chance to ask your dad for advice. ”
Seeing that the level of calligraphy and painting was not difficult for Ye Fan, Wen Huashan changed his words again: "I heard Xiaolan say that you just entered the university and opened an e-commerce company, and the business is not bad?" ”
Ye Fan waved his hand and said very modestly: "Business is okay, but compared to Uncle Wen, I am a small thing, and it is not worth mentioning." ”
Wen Huashan's perception of Ye Fan is not bad, he is not arrogant or impatient, calm and calm, he just wanted to speak, but when he saw that the auction host had already come to the stage, he didn't say more: "When the auction is over, we'll talk." ”
"Okay, Uncle Wen, please." Ye Fan smiled.
After a brief opening remark by the auction host, the auction officially began.
"The first auction item, "The Match Girl", is the masterpiece of the Republic of China master Zhang Shanfeng when he was young, although it is not a painting at the peak, but Zhang Shanfeng was not satisfactory during his lifetime, and his paintings have only become famous in recent years, so there are not many hand-me-down paintings, each one is a treasure, the starting price is one million, and the price increase is not less than 100,000 ...... each time."
Because it was the first auction item, the starting price was not high, and there were more people robbing it, and after more than a dozen rounds of bidding, Yu Chun got off to a good start and won it with two million.
After Yu Chun arranged the first painting, the corners of his mouth were smiling, he was in a good mood, and looked at Ye Fan without a trace, but Ye Fan didn't have the heart to look at him at all.
Ye Fan was in a very complicated mood at this time, he originally just came to the appointment, and by the way, he watched the excitement, but now he suddenly has a goal, and he doesn't want to miss this goal.
"The fifth lot, the masterpiece of the French impressionist master Roger, "Sunflowers", starts at 5 million ......."
"The tenth auction item is the collection of Mr. Zhang Yuntian, Lan Ying's painting of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", this volume is 12 meters long, light color on silk, the rivers and mountains are majestic and magnificent, there is a trend of thousands of miles away, the starting price is 10 million ......"
This calligraphy and painting auction is all big coffee, the auction is basically a fine product, each auction item is a starting price of more than one million, in the financial crisis, everyone is very short of money, but also sold.
This "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was finally won by the high-spirited boss Heng Xu, who bid 15 million, which is also the highest price in this auction.
Seeing this "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which finally fell into the hands of Boss Daheng Xu, Zhang Yuntian's mood was a little complicated, with these tens of millions of returns, his real estate company could breathe a sigh of relief, but his beloved paintings were taken away by a person he was most unwilling to.
Zhang Yuntian thought that five years ago, he was still the boss of the Yangcheng real estate industry, and Daheng Real Estate was still the younger brother at that time.
However, in just a few years, Daheng Real Estate has become the first echelon of real estate companies in China, but its own company is on the verge of bankruptcy and is completely outdated.
Seeing that "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was in the hands of Boss Xu, Wen Huashan's mood was also complicated and inexplicable.
He and Zhang Yuntian are in a similar situation, both of them are seniors in the Yangcheng real estate industry, with the rapid stubbornness of the South China Five Tigers in recent years, the status of both of them has plummeted.
In the eyes of many people at the scene, the transfer of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" also means the transformation of the status of Yangcheng real estate bosses.
Seeing Boss Xu, who easily took pictures of fifteen million paintings, Ye Fan thought of the cash in his pocket, and it was barely one million, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, I am so poor.
Ye Fan, who was sitting in the corner of the auction, suddenly had a feeling that he was standing like a minion at the eighteenth year of his alma mater.
