Chapter 119: Auction Event
After Li Chenggong finished speaking, he walked off the stage and looked at Ye Xiaofan with a kind look, then sat down on the left side of the first row.
As soon as Li Chenggong left, a host wearing a suit and tie came to the stage. Ye Xiaofan looked at this person with a knowing smile. Isn't this the host of that TV station? He can be considered a big name.
Unexpectedly, he came to host the auction!
"Little brother, you were very manly just now. My sister admires you. Are you interested in coming over to meet my sister?" While Ye Xiaofan was concentrating on the stage, Liu Shiyin breathed hot breath into Ye Xiaofan's ear in a low voice.
Ye Xiaofan smiled softly, touched his nose and said, "Sister Liu, I don't have 10 billion."
Liu Shiyin was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter. This kid's way of rejecting people was really weird.
"Everyone, Mr. He has the honor to host this auction event today. Here, Mr. He would like to thank everyone for your trust." The host held the microphone and said energetically, bowing slightly after speaking.
"Everyone, Mr. He won't talk nonsense to you. After all, this is not an entertainment program. Let's take a look at the first auction item." The host said loudly, and with a wave of his hand, two ladies in cheongsam walked away holding a painting.
Come up.
The host asked the two ladies to bring the painting to the center, raised their hands and introduced: "This is the most proud work of the famous Chinese painter Zhang Daqian, "Love Mark Lake". The low price is 100 million, and each increase in price is no less than 10 million.
Let’s start!”
After the host finished speaking, the competition was in full swing, with bids coming and going, and soon the painting was raised to a high price of 200 million.
As we all know, Zhang Daqian is known as the Picasso of the East. His paintings are of extremely high value. A painting of "Lotus" was sold for a sky-high price of over 20.8 million yuan. It is reasonable for this painting of "Lake with Traces of Love" to be so popular.
Ye Xiaofan now also has a lot of research on calligraphy and painting. Looking at the majestic "Love Trace Lake", he has some admiration. However, Ye Xiaofan will not spend hundreds of millions to buy a painting. When he smiled, Long Hao next to him thought...
Moved, he raised his hands and shouted: "Two hundred and fifty million!"
Ye Xiaofan was a little surprised that this guy Long Hao also liked calligraphy and painting!
When the host saw someone raising the price, he immediately spoke up and said: "This gentleman bids 250 million. Is there anyone with a price higher than 250 million? This is a rare masterpiece from Zhang Daqian in his later years..."
The rich people present were obviously relatively rational. When they saw someone adding 50 million at a time, they chose to remain silent because they knew there would be better things later.
"Two hundred and fifty million for the first time, is there a higher price? Two hundred and fifty million for the second time, two hundred and fifty million for the third time!" The hammer fell, snap!
"Dealed! Congratulations to this gentleman for shooting Zhang Daqian's "Lovemark Lake"."
Long Hao smiled slightly, stepped forward and swiped his card to pay, thinking that it would be a good idea to get a better frame to hang the painting in the room.
The host bent down and took out a white jade Guanyin from the box under him, placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen and ladies, what you are seeing now is a white jade Guanyin from the Ming Dynasty.
It is carved from top-grade mutton-fat white jade, with a net weight of 9.39 kilograms. Not to mention its age, the value of this beautiful jade alone is over 50 million."
The host deliberately picked up the water cup at the foot of the table and took a sip. He gently touched the pure bottle held in Guanyin's palm with his white-gloved index finger and said slowly: "The price and age of mutton-fat jade do not represent this Guanyin."
The value of the image is because it also has a special name, Zigang Jade."
"Zigang Yu! It's actually Zigang Yu..." A middle-aged man sitting in the front row stood up with excitement on his face, a look of fanaticism in his eyes.
"The jade material alone is over 50 million, and it is still Zigang Jade from the Ming Dynasty. If this white jade Guanyin is genuine, the price will be at least 200 million or more!" Some knowledgeable people couldn't help but start to estimate the value of the jade Guanyin, and finally came to the conclusion
Conclusion This white jade Guanyin can be said to be a priceless treasure.
Ye Xiaofan smiled. Although Zigang Jade is famous, it is nothing unusual. At least Ye Xiaofan doesn't care about it very much. It's just that the carving is exquisite.
"Youdao means that gold has price and jade is priceless. As we all know, Zigang jade is the best among jade. Today I will sell jade to attract gold. White jade Guanyin is priced at a low price of 150 million. Each increase in price will not be less than 20 million. Please
Everyone, start bidding.”
"One hundred and ninety million." The bidder was the middle-aged man who stood up and raised the price by forty million at once.
Ye Xiaofan has no interest in this jade Guanyin. As a member of the jade carving industry, Lu Zigang is a monument standing in his heart. It can even be said to be a goal. There are countless people who have imitated Zigang's jade carving style for hundreds of years.
All of them can only be seen in their form but not in their essence. If the Jade God Lu Zigang was still alive, he would definitely say proudly: "Brother can only be imitated, but never surpassed."
"Two hundred and fifty million." The old man who bid for the price, as the head of a well-known jewelry store in China, naturally understood the value of this jade Guanyin. If this thing were photographed and placed in the store, it would be the same as the object of Zhenshan Gate, so
A one-time increase of 60 million.
"Three hundred million."
The middle-aged man directly increased the price by 50 million, as if he was determined to win it. Perhaps because the price of this jade Guanyin was too high, the only people bidding were the old man and the middle-aged man, and everyone looked at him very naturally.
Then he turned to the old man.
"This piece of Gangyu is really good in my jewelry store, but it's too expensive to buy." The old man said, looking at the middle-aged man, then raised his hand and said: "Four hundred million."
A one-time increase of 100 million was considered a big deal. The expression on the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed. He raised his right palm and pressed it on his knees, then sat down with his waist bent.
The hall fell silent, and the host showed a professional smile on his face. He began to read and hammer down, bang! The rubber hammer hit the table, and the white jade Guanyin belonged to him.
The host cleared his throat and said: "The white jade Guanyin in this auction was bought by this old gentleman. Please wait a moment. The next auction item is larger and our staff is moving it..."
There was a sudden intermission in the auction, and Ye Xiaofan wanted to laugh. He glanced at Jiang Xie and Liu Shiyin. The two tycoons had not made a move so far, as if they were waiting for something.
After about five minutes, the Maitreya Buddha, which was one meter high and weighed about two hundred kilograms, was lifted up. It was carved from high-ice emerald.
Ye Xiaofan took a breath. The value of this jadeite alone is estimated to be around 400 million. Who the hell is so generous and carves a giant jadeite into Maitreya Buddha? Ye Xiaofan cursed in his heart!
