Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, the auctioneer announced that the lot was auctioned by Ye Tianmin at a price of 3 million.

Others don't know, but Feng Shen and Sima Feng know that this Ye Tianmin was photographed with real money, unlike most of the people who were invited, just going through the motions.

Originally, the remuneration paid to Ruifeng Company and the auctioneer after this auction and related public relations and publicity expenses, Sima Feng estimated that he would spend several million.

But with Ye Tianmin's 3 million, plus the self-portrait of Feng Shen that Ye Tianmin is likely to take again, it is definitely enough to pay for all the expenses today.

He whispered a few words to someone next to him, and the man nodded.

At this time, Sima Feng's mobile phone came with a message from Feng Shen's side: put it in the 8th place.

Ye Tianmin took this portrait of the God of War, which completely surprised everyone, including Han Xue'er and others beside him. But what Peng Jun whispered to Ye Tianmin just now, Han Xue'er heard it, although she didn't understand what Ye Tianmin was considering, she didn't say much.

Ye Tianmin saw that the next few lots were all abstract and tired paintings. To put it bluntly, it depends on who you are painting from.

Drawn by elementary school students, of course, it is worthless. If it's a master-level, it's worth a fortune.

Although the starting prices of today's paintings are also in the double digits, after all, the real level of Feng Shen is not enough to really have the level of a master. Otherwise, it is impossible to use this cultural fair to find Ruifeng Company to enhance its own value.

For this reason, his father personally promised to paint a specific type of work for the auction that Ruifeng Company actually hosted in the future.

When the eighth work came out, it was indeed a self-portrait of Feng Shen. Ye Tianmin looked carefully at the photos on display, although Feng Shen himself was emaciated, but the restoration degree of the work is very high, his demeanor, appearance, and face are the same as the photos taken, and there is no so-called artistic processing component at all.

I don't know if it's because of Ye Tianmin's statement just now, but the starting price of this work is 250,000.

When the auctioneer handed over the starting price, Ye Tianmin first raised his hand to signal that he took the starting price.

However, as soon as Ye Tianmin's hand was put down, another person raised his hand and shouted the price of 1 million. This person was the one sitting next to Sima Feng.

Ye Tianmin smiled, since someone wants to play, let's play! Originally, he was still thinking about how to deal with it more appropriately, and since there were people who jumped out, of course he had to accompany him.

He didn't raise the price by 1 million like last time, but according to the rules of the auction, he just raised his hand and didn't say a word.

This means that Ye Tianmin is just following the basic basic markup model.

"1,050,000 for the first time"

The auctioneer did not pause because Ye Tianmin was only a basic price increase.

"1,050,000 for the second time"

In his mind, this price has long exceeded the value of the lot, so there is no need to hesitate.

However, when he finished speaking for the second time, he saw Sima Feng give him a gesture and signal him to slow down.

So, the auctioneer slowly introduced the "good" of this work again.

I heard the person sitting next to Sima Feng raise his hand and opened his mouth to offer: "1.5 million".

This time there was a low exclamation from the audience. Ye Tianmin had already clearly stated his attitude in the front, and no one objected at that time, but at this time, it was okay to come out and raise the bar once, this is the second time, and there is so much hatred for Ye Tianmin!

But it seems that Ye Tianmin didn't care at all, and raised his hand again, but still didn't speak.

"1,550,000 for the first time"

This time the auctioneer will almost certainly be the last time to bid.

Who is the person who raised the price to 1.5 million just now, it is clear in his eyes, not to mention the authenticity of this auction, he knows that 1.5 million is just an act of price gouging. Although he is not a super auctioneer, he is still very experienced, otherwise Sima Feng would not have invited him over.

If the person who carries the "sedan chair" and the person who "guides" the way is unprofessional and does not have a certain degree of popularity, this operation to enhance the popularity will not have enough value.

Because the market value of Feng Shen's current calligraphy and painting works is not high, the company is charged at a price of 1 million yuan at an auction, and he himself charges a fee of 1%, with a guaranteed income of 30,000 yuan.

But with Ye Tianmin's 3 million just now, the guaranteed income has already been reached, and the other lots are equivalent to windfall gains.

When the auctioneer finished singing the price twice and was about to sing the hammer for the third time, Ye Tianmin raised his hand again, still not saying a word.

"1,550,000 for the first time"

The auctioneer's heart trembled a little, although he was professional in terms of professional ethics, but after all, everyone knew the purpose of inviting him, and he could leave a little transaction fee for the employer, which was worthy of Sima Feng, who hired him.

Therefore, the speed of his singing price this time has obviously increased, but it is still not faster than the speed of bidding, the person next to Sima Feng glanced at Sima Feng, and raised his hand again to call out the price of 2 million.

"Okay, this display also seems to have a soft spot for the self-portraits of Master Feng Shen. In this way, in the future, the collection value of the portrait works of our Feng Shen master will definitely catch up with other contemporaries. ”

To say that this painting is not a bit of a flattery, it is purely a customary tone used by the auction house to enhance the value of the work.

But when these words are heard in the ears of Feng Shen, it is completely different. He was still worried about Sima Feng's price hike just now, but at this moment, he had a sense of pride in being admired, and a confident smile climbed up his cheeks.

Sure enough, Ye Tianmin did not disappoint him, raised his hand again, and still did not speak, as if he was determined to succeed in a calm posture.

"2.05 million for the first time. It seems that this gentleman, as he himself said, has a deep affection for the works of Master Feng Shen. Personally, I have a suggestion, even if you don't get the work in the end, Mr. Feng Shen should express his gratitude to you. ”

The auctioneer's words are from the heart, this kind of throwing millions of real money at a person's worth is a very risky behavior. "Artists" will not fetch a high price for his work, thinking that someone else is carrying a sedan chair for him, but will think that it is the value of his work.

But in his eyes, these works are also a market with a starting price, and it is also based on his father's face, and the real value of the works may not even be qualified for collection.

Ye Tianmin seemed to be very impressed by the auctioneer's encouragement and respect, and kept a smile on his face.

The other people in the audience didn't see it that way, this seems to be really a little white from the auction house, and the sedan chair was lifted a little high, if it wasn't invited by the organizer, I am afraid that the money would have been wasted. If it is invited by the organizer, then this kind of sedan chair is too unsophisticated.

How is it possible to raise the value of a person's work so high all of a sudden, no matter what the purpose, this practice is not acceptable. At this time, the profits of the painting and calligraphy trade were uncontrollable, and it was difficult for anyone to want to collect them.

But everyone didn't understand what Sima Feng wanted to do, and he was the only one who knew how much net worth Ye Tianmin had.

Sima Feng couldn't wait to ask for 10 million at a time, but reason told him to be stable, this has already invested a lot in sealing ginseng, and it is not worth it to cut leeks just once.

Just when the auctioneer sang Ye Tianmin's price increase for the third time, before the last word came out of his mouth, Sima Feng raised his hand to signal. Because the person next to him, like most of the people here today, thinks that continuing like this will hurt the investment in the early stage.

Sima Feng's hand felt very high, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and then let out a 3 million price cry from his mouth.

His bid was undoubtedly a real stab at the hornet's nest, and no one suppressed the whispering voice in the venue.

"Crazy, is Sima Feng really crazy?"

There was only one person at the auction site who was really excited, and that was the ginseng. Ye Tianmin's first 3 million was a huge surprise, and Sima Feng's 3 million again was a passionate announcement.

That's right, passion. At this moment, he felt that the clothes hanging on his body were superfluous. Now his blood is galloping, and it seems that his father's high position is not so far away from him.
