sky-high painting(2/2)
Jiang Yan looked around the dark customers and found that there were many customers coming to this auction, but just looking at the auction catalogues, the auction items were not all very eye-catching items. This kind of scene with a crowded street should generally be a grand occasion when the world's treasures were taken out for auction, which did not seem to be consistent with the current situation. So he asked Zhou Yu what was going on, but he had found out some mysterious news.
Zhou Yu nodded and praised his sharp eyes: "Sometimes, people are not looking at goods or treasures, but at auctioneers. Today, it is said that several internationally renowned bidders have entered the market. As for which product they are aiming for, it is not clear yet. After all, even the auction company itself cannot figure it out."
I heard that there were wealthy capitalists coming to support me, and Manman followed her husband to look around. Unfortunately, the lights in the auction hall were dark and the figures couldn't even see clearly.
The lights on the stage lights up, meaning that the auction officially began. According to the news revealed by Zhou Yu, the "Caising Sangmo Shangcang" owned by Lou Xiangqing was ranked seventh in order. The "Hundred Sons Picture" sent by Manman was followed by the eighth.
Lou Xiangqing was in this auction, wearing sunglasses and hiding in the crowd, which was convenient for observation and movement. Someone came over and said a few words in her ear. Lou Xiangqing slowly opened the catalog of items for auction in her hand and saw Manman's "Hundred Sons Picture". Before the auction officially started, the catalog may change. "Hundred Sons Picture" was a new item added before the start of the shooting. It can be seen that Zhou Yu made a very beautiful move and tried to catch her off guard.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu's move could not prevent Lou Xiangqing from connecting with others in the auction house. As early as when "Bai Zi Tu" arrived at the auction company, Lou Xiangqing had already obtained first-hand information and intended to let experts lower the valuation of "Bai Zi Tu".
"Not afraid." Lou Xiangqing was confident and didn't even look at the "Hundred Sons Picture". She was sure not to be afraid. "This painting is her new work. Moreover, now, her paintings have been promoted to the point where we have no choice but to be brave enough to surpass her old work."
"But I heard that this painting is no longer than before, and she uses a new painting method."
"Can she use it as long as she wants?" Lou Xiangqing smiled coldly in the darkness. "To put it bluntly, if I hadn't been trying hard to praise her old work, her old work would have no value at all. It's enough to show that her attempt in this regard was a failure."
When the other party heard her say this, he stopped talking.
There is a reason why Lou Xiangqing is full of confidence in this. She deliberately asked someone to arrange for "Caisangmo Shangcang" to be auctioned in front of "Hundred Sons Pictures", which took the lead. If "Caisangmo" comes up behind and fails to surpass "Caisangmo Shangcang", it will definitely be criticized and the pressure will be greater. The worst result is that it cannot even be sold.
Strength, Zonggui is the element that determines everything. Manman knows this very well. In terms of competition, the most difficult thing is to surpass himself rather than others. Manman also understands this very well.
There was no way out, and the moment the auctioneer finally showed off the No. 7 product.
""Caising the Cang on the Road of Sangmeng", the work of the contemporary female painter Wen Man." The auctioneer introduced.
After some introduction and on-site display of the goods, the auction began. The auctioneer called the starting price very high "500,000". To Manman and his friends expected, after 500,000, people bid all the way. I don't know if it was Lou Xiangqing's childcare. Later, he called to the limit of "one million" that exceeded Manman and his friends' estimates. Seeing that this old work actually had unlimited potential, Manman looked at it with a very complicated look.
Zhou Yu stroked the handrail, not knowing whether to comfort Manman or herself: "It's okay, yours hasn't appeared yet, I don't know what the situation will be like."
Jiang Yan held his wife's hand and was not afraid at all. No matter how much it costs, he would just take pictures of his wife's works at that time. He would not be short of borrowing this money from others to turn over.
Manman thought: If the new work was really taken by himself, it would be very shameless and would not be considered a victory at all. I can only say that I had used some small tricks and conspiracy.
Well, she admitted that she was watching her new work be recognized rather than filming herself.
She had never been so nervous, and her palms were sweating.
The price of "Caising Sangmo" soared all the way, and finally reached the final bid of 1.69 million yuan, one hammer, two hammers, and three hammers to make a decision.
Manman opened her mouth slightly and spit out: "It's really profitable!"
Unexpectedly, she would suddenly say something like this, and Zhou Yu and Jiang Yan were both happy. Even though Manman was nervous, she had nothing to say about her mentality.
When necessary, Manman was not afraid of being a slut, so she insisted on spending money downstairs to Xiang Qing today.
"The Hundred Sons Picture" has appeared. The auctioneer's introduction to "The Hundred Sons Picture" is not as much as "Caisang Mo Shang Cang". It can be seen that the auctioneer's valuation of this painting is similar to "Caisang Mo Shang Cang". Is this because of Lou Xiangqing? That's 80% true.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn't curse Lou Xiangqing in his heart.
After Lou Xiangqing got her wish, she sold "Caisangmo Shangcang" at a high price, she stayed with smugness, preparing to see how Manman's new work was planted. Once Manman fell in this head-on battle, it means that she, as a critic, has a higher reputation and her money will come in the future.
A bright stage lamp was lit on the "Hundred Sons Picture", and it can be seen that the 100 children above were vivid and beautifully dressed. Not only that, even every hair on the children was clearly visible. Unlike the large color blocks in ordinary Chinese paintings, some Western concepts were obviously used, and they tried to use Chinese techniques to express the three-dimensional sense that was inseparable from Western oil paintings.
When it comes to painting, you don’t have to think about it. Ordinary people can see that "The Hundred Sons Picture" is slightly better than "Caising Sangmo Road". So, there was a dazed silence in the field. Because no matter the auctioneer’s introduction and the product catalogue sent to the bidders, the advantages of "The Hundred Sons Picture" compared to "Caising Sangmo Road" were mentioned.
After a secret meeting with the floor below, the auctioneer reported the auction price - 50,000 yuan.
Once this 50,000 was released, Zhou Yu jumped up in anger. Manman hurriedly grabbed her.
Fifty thousand is an insult. Needless to think about it, everyone knows that the auctioneer was bribed by Lou Xiangqing. Zhou Yuhui didn't know that he had fallen into Lou Xiangqing's way. In fact, Lou Xiangqing wanted to sell Manman's paintings at a high price, and on the other hand, of course, he hoped that he would make money in the future and create his own reputation. Stepping down on Manman's new paintings is the best way. Lou Xiangqing might have been waiting for Manman to take the initiative to take the bait and kept pressing Manman's paintings.
"I didn't start bidding, so I'm not afraid." Manman comforted Zhou Yu in turn.
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly. When he heard the low price of 50,000, he was very afraid of the tricks of Manman's new work in this game. He didn't dare to shout at the high price, but it was just a 1100-year increase.
Jiang Yan was impatient when he heard this. He saw that the price was not sure when it would be his turn to make his move.
"Ayan, wait a little longer." Manman didn't allow her husband to uphold justice for him so quickly.
Jiang Yan shook his wife's hand back: "Don't worry, I believe there will always be a mentor."
"It's not Bo Le, it's a knight." Manman corrected her husband's statement.
Manman doesn't believe it. Everyone here is blind and is a hypocrite in "The Emperor's New Clothes".
When he called 60,53 yuan, he didn't know which prank was, so he only added three yuan when he raised the sign, and the audience burst into laughter.
The auctioneer couldn't help but feel proud and began to smash the hammer: "60,53 yuan, the first time, 60,53 yuan, the second time, 60,53 yuan, the third--" In the end, as soon as the hammer was lifted into the air, someone raised the sign.
"Oh, someone raised the sign. Let's see how many dollars were added this time?" The auctioneer smiled and said, putting away the hammer, as if he was very interesting to the farce in front of him. Until the light lock reached the sign the sign the person raised, he heard the number shouted by the other party and glared at the moment.
Not to mention that the auctioneer didn't believe it, everyone else turned around and looked at the direction of the sign-holder. This glance made everyone cry out in a cold sweat. The sign-holder was clearly a famous auctioneer who came here to support for some reason today.
"How many?" the auctioneer asked again.
"Three thousand sixty thousand fifty-three."
In other words, a total of 30 million was added, and the huge number was like a stone in the auction venue, which stirred up thousands of waves.
Lou Xiangqing pulled her glasses off her face on the spot.
This is just the beginning. After adding 30 million yuan, someone raised a bid, and the bid was a superposition of 10 million yuan.
Manman and several others felt like they were riding a roller coaster.
"I'm not dreaming, isn't I?" Manman twisted her husband's thighs hard.
Jiang Yan did not dare to cry out in pain and said, "I knew you could sell paintings for hundreds of millions."
Hundreds of millions? Manman frowned and was about to say that her husband was a fantasy. He didn’t need to think about money like that. His family is not short of money.
As a result, the final price was 160,53 yuan.
The audience was stunned. This price may have been won by the works of contemporary domestic painters this year, no, for many years.
