He at least knew how to explain to Zhu Yu and Yang Xiong, and was considerate of their feelings.

This person is worth getting to know.

To be honest, not many people can appreciate Chinese paintings.

So when Mike invited interested people to come up and have a look, besides Zhu Yu and Yang Xiong, two other people came up to take a look and then sat down.

Although he knew that the possibility of fakes in this auction was extremely small, Zhu Yu still opened his eyes when he stepped forward to observe and looked at the painting - the genuine article.

It's just that the seal of Old Man Shiquan is stamped on it, which really makes people speechless. It is estimated that this painting was also exiled from the imperial city back then.

Yang Xiong only got up after watching Zhu Yu get up.

Previously, he felt that the back figures of Zhu Yu and the others looked familiar, but he did not recognize them and thought they were staff members.

Now Zhu Yu appeared at the auction house, and Mr. Mike specially introduced him, juxtaposed with him, and lined up in front of him.

Yang Xiong knew that this young man was definitely not simple - either he himself was great, or his family was great.

Gotta hand it over.

So Yang Xiong followed Zhu Yu’s footsteps and went on stage——

Originally, Yang Xiong wanted to get close to Zhu Yu and have a few words.

I just didn't expect that Zhu Yu stepped forward and simply looked at the painting, and then turned around and left within a minute.

He didn't even find a chance to talk.

This made Yang Xiong a little annoyed - he was once considered a big shot in the country. When people saw him, they would take the initiative to talk to him, and many young people like Zhu Yu would come to ask for autographs.

But this person surnamed Zhu seems to not know me at all, as if he has never heard of me, so rude!

But here, he couldn't get angry, so he had to pretend to watch for a few minutes, and then went down last.

Mike held the auction table with both hands and said like a storyteller:

"China is a magical country. Now many people are learning Chinese culture. On our Internet, many young people are buying various things from China——"

When he said this, Zhu Yu's mind immediately appeared in Zhu Yu's mind: a spittoon with the word "Double Happiness" written on it, coins printed with the bank of heaven and earth, and mahjong!

"The author of this painting was born five hundred years ago. He belongs to the royal family and has a very noble status. His paintings are very famous in China and Japan -

Of course, for many of you, you won’t know it at all. I’m just telling you that knowing more about Chinese culture will not only be beneficial to the development of your business, but even hoarding cultural relics to make money will be helpful - "

His words again elicited some chuckles.

"Okay, I won't say much more. Although it is my own painting, it will be auctioned according to the procedures - "Osprey Playing in the Water", the starting price is 20 million US dollars, let's start!"

For the first time, no one raised a sign.

Mike looked embarrassed:

"You don't want me to miss the shoot, do you? This embarrasses me..."

There was another burst of laughter.

Zhu Yu raised the sign:

"Twenty million."

He didn't know much about Zhu Da's paintings, so he couldn't say whether he liked them or not.

But when it comes to it, if there aren’t too many people competing, I’ll just buy it.

But he was naturally not the only one who wanted to support him. Yang Xiong immediately raised his hand:

"Twenty-one million!"

Others, probably wanting to speculate, are also bidding.

"Twenty-one and a half million!"

"Twenty-one million eight hundred thousand!"

Someone asked for a price, but Zhu Yu didn't bid again. He wanted to see if these people were asking for it or if they really wanted to buy it.

However, what surprised Zhu Yu was that everyone’s bids were not high. After several rounds, the price did not exceed US$23 million.

Finally, we got stuck with a bearded man who offered us US$22.55 million.

Mike probably felt that the price was about the same, and he glanced around.

Zhu Yu held up the sign.

"Twenty-three million!"

"Twenty-three million...Mr. Zhu, you have a good sense - I heard that your ancestors were also nobles. I wonder if it is related to the owner of this painting?"

Mike was joking, but this did not affect his hosting. After speaking, he looked around again and finally dropped the hammer.

However, his words attracted the attention of others.

Unexpectedly, this young Chinese is a descendant of a noble family!

But Yang Xiong immediately misunderstood.

The one who is famous in China now and can be called the authentic descendant of the Zhu family is the one who has not been around for a long time.

Could it be from his family?
