Chapter Twenty-Eight: Famous Craftsmen in the Painting World
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."
"I'm Zheng Liping, auctioneer of Yanjing Poly Auction House, and I will invite our No. 1 lot "Thousand Character Text" Akiyama asked, the authors are Pu Ru and Qi Kun."
"Starting price: 20000 RMB!"
After the auctioneer took the stage, he didn't say any unnecessary nonsense, and after saying hello to the audience, the auction officially began.
As the bidding for Lot 1 began, the display of this Tibetan fan began to be continuously shown on the LED screen at the live broadcast site, with the "Thousand Character Text" written by Pu Ru in the front and the Akiyama Asked by Qi Kun in the back.
Soon, the guests who came to the scene and the staff in charge of the telephone commission began to bid one after another, so that the price of this Tibetan fan soared rapidly in a very short period of time, and it broke through the 500,000 mark in a blink of an eye.
"Oh my God!"
"That's a 25-fold increase!"
Guan Yuntao looked at the auction scene in front of him, and the whole person was stunned, and even forgot the snail in his hand.
"The starting price of all Tibetan fans today is 20,000, there is no reference value, this is just the beginning, and the Tibetan fans that have multiplied hundreds of times will appear." Tang Yuan glanced at Guan Yuntao and explained with a smile.
"A hundredfold?"
"Wouldn't that be more than a million?"
"It's just a Tibetan fan, so expensive?"
Li Qiming was a little surprised.
"If you knew the identity of the author of this Tibetan fan, you probably wouldn't think so." Tang Yuan pointed to the No. 1 lot being auctioned on the projection screen: "Pu Ru, full name Aixin Jueluo Puru, his great-grandfather is Emperor Daoguang, and his grandfather is Prince Gong. ”
"Do you still think it's expensive for such a character's handwriting?"
In the end, Tang Yuan glanced at Li Qiming and asked with a smile.
"I'll you!"
"This man is so big?"
After Li Qiming listened to Tang Yuan's introduction, he was a little surprised.
"Brother Yuan, do you know this?"
"Aren't you too good?"
Guan Yuntao's eyes looked at Tang Yuan with a little admiration.
When Tang Yuan heard this, he waved his hand: "Because I am interested in Tibetan fans, I happened to find Pu Ru in the process of checking the information, so I know something about him, and it just so happens that I have a certain understanding of him." ”
However, in the face of Tang Yuan's rhetoric, Guan Yuntao and Li Qiming obviously didn't believe it, they just thought that Tang Yuan was being modest.
While the three of them were talking, the first lot was finally sold for 786,000 RMB, and was successfully bought by a mysterious buyer entrusted by phone.
Next, a piece of Tibetan fans were auctioned one after another, with the lowest transaction price of about 200,000 yuan and the highest price of about 1 million.
As the auction was more than halfway through, when it was the turn of the 13th lot to come out to bid, Tang Yuan, who had never made any moves, finally began to make a move.
Under Tang Yuan's frequent bidding, the 13th lot "Renchen Landscape: Calligraphy and Painting Theory" was soon auctioned by Tang Yuan for 1.94 million, pushing the whole auction to a small climax, but this was only the beginning for Tang Yuan.
Only ten minutes later, Tang Yuan made another move, and successfully auctioned the 15th lot "Meditation and Xingshu Seven Words Poem" for 1.82 million, followed by the 19th lot "Bayeux Worker" and the 20th lot "Frost Xiaoju Xianxian" at a price of 2.49 million and 2.41 million respectively, which were won by Tang Yuan one after another.
It can be said that so far in the whole special session, the four Tibetan fans with the largest collection value and the highest artistic value have all been included in Tang Yuan's pocket.
Who are the authors of these four Tibetan fans?
Huang Binhong, a famous painter in modern times, a grandmaster of landscape painting!
Fu Baoshi, a famous modern painter, his masterpiece "Maoshan Majestic" was sold for nearly 200 million yuan in 2017!
Qi Baishi, a master of modern Chinese painting, a world cultural celebrity!
Pan Tianshou, a famous modern painter, his masterpiece "Eagle Rock Mountain Flowers" was sold for 243 million yuan in 2015!
One counts as one, all of them are famous craftsmen in the painting world.
Now, all of them are in Tang Yuan's pocket.
Five goals, successfully achieved four, Tang Yuan was very satisfied with this, and at the same time relieved.
If it weren't for the chance to catch up with such a special auction of Tibetan fans, Tang Yuan wanted to successfully buy 5 treasure-level Tibetan fans within 15 days, it would really not be easy.
"Huh?"
"What are you doing in a daze?"
"Full?"
Tang Yuan turned his head and put on his gloves again, and just as he was about to dial a few more crayfish to eat, he found that Guan Yuntao and Li Qiming were all looking at him stupidly, as if they had been cast a fixation spell.
"Brother Yuan......"
"If I'm not mistaken just now, you spent a total of 8.66 million for these four fans, and the average value of a fan is nearly 2.16 million, your casual fan is enough to buy a suite in a second-tier city, what are you trying to do?"
Guan Yuntao looked at Tang Yuan, who seemed to be fine, and asked with a straight look in his eyes.
Initially, he thought that the gap between the two was that he was on the 10th floor and Tang Yuan was on the 100th floor.
Later, he thought that the gap between the two was that he was in the 10th layer and Tang Yuan was in the atmosphere.
Now, he finally found out that he and Tang Yuan were not people of the same world at all, he had even seen what the other party was playing, and the values of the other party were not something he could understand, and even his parents probably couldn't understand it.
If he spends 2 million to buy a car, his parents may approve of it, but if he spends 2 million to buy a fan, his parents may directly choose to delete the number and retrain.
"What am I trying to do?"
"I like it."
Tang Yuan naturally couldn't tell the other party that he was doing it to complete the system task, but his answer was not a lie.
Because on the premise of completing the task, Tang Yuan is indeed selecting the collection with an appreciative look, and he is not just completing the task for the sake of completing the task.
Take the experience task of collecting Tibetan fans as an example, Tibetan fans, as a small category in the collection, because of their congenital limitations, in fact, Tibetan fans worth more than one million can basically be regarded as treasure-level collections.
If Tang Yuan was only for the purpose of completing the task, then he could have purchased a lower-priced Tibetan fan, after all, the rewards for the final task were the same.
Between saving money and liking, Tang Yuan chose to like.
After going through all kinds of things in his previous life, Tang Yuan didn't pay so much attention to money for a long time.
Since you must make money in the end, why not collect some of your favorite items?
It's nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less, so in the process of choosing, Tang Yuan chooses completely by his own will, he would rather spend a high price to buy his favorite collections to play with and appreciate every day, rather than buy the collections he doesn't like back and put them on the shelf in order to save money.
Being a human being is still the most important thing to be happy.
