Of course, more people came to join in the fun and make friends, and not many people actually went up to watch.
Detian Auction Company is the largest auction company in the capital. The origins and values of the auction items are not low. They are all in the millions and above, and there are only two or three items worth a million, while most of the others are above tens of millions. There are two more worth hundreds of millions.
"The sixth auction item to be auctioned next is Xu Beihong's "Wounded Lion" picture. This picture was created in 1938. At that time, Japanese pirates invaded most of the Eastern Xia United Kingdom, the land was lost, the lives were devastated, and Xu Beihong was resentful and angry. Forbearance, he painted a wounded lion, looking back, with infinite profound meaning. He wrote on the painting: "During the national crisis, Kong and Mr. Lin Ruo traveled to Chongqing to care about each other and wrote this to express their feelings." It expresses the author's feelings. The thought of patriotism and worry about the times. This is a painting that combines realism and romanticism. The Xia Kingdom is called the 'Sleeping Lion' of the East. Most of the northeastern land of the Tepu Dongxia United Kingdom was invaded by the Tepu Dongwa Kingdom. The 'Sleeping Lion' has become a wounded lion. This wounded lion, with glaring eyes, is ready to fight and struggle, showing strength and strength."
Speaking of these things, everyone is resentful towards the Tepu Dongwa Kingdom. The hatred between the Tepu Dongwa Kingdom and the Tepu Dongxia United Kingdom can never be resolved.
"The starting bid for this "Wounded Lion" picture is five million, and the minimum bid increase is one million. The auction begins." As Zhao Xiyuan finished speaking, everyone raised their placards to bid.
Gu Ning and others were not all here to join in the fun, because Leng Shaoting wanted to auction the calligraphy and painting of Xu Beihong to Mr. Leng.
Coincidentally, Tang Yaxin also wanted to bid for this calligraphy and painting.
But Leng Shaoting is not in a hurry to lower the price. It's troublesome. It's better to wait until the end, when it's about to be finalized, then call out, and it will be finalized soon.
"Number 39, twelve million."
"No. 57, thirteen million."
······
"No. 62, twenty-eight million." No. 62 belongs to Tang Yaxin.
By this time, no one was following, but Leng Shaoting appeared.
"Number 32, twenty-nine million."
This number 32 belongs to Leng Shaoting.
Originally, Tang Yaxin was determined to get this picture of "The Wounded Lion". She thought it was going to be hers, but she never expected that Cheng Yaojin would kill her on the way.
But the auction was always for the highest bidder, so she couldn't say anything.
After a few rounds, Tang Yaxin's face began to look ugly, because the opponent had no intention of stopping, and he raised the cards so readily, as if he didn't care about the money at all.
Originally, Tang Yaxin listened to Tang Bingsen's instructions and took a picture of this painting as a gift, but now, it is difficult to take a picture of this painting.
After a few more rounds, Tang Yaxin gave up because the painting had already sold 38 million. She knew that she wouldn't be able to grab it if she kept following her, and since the price was about the same, it wouldn't be worth it to keep shouting.
Although the Tang family is not short of money, they cannot engage in such a loss-making business. Since they cannot give away the "Wounded Lion" picture, they can still give other things!
Therefore, Leng Shaoting bought Xu Beihong's "Wounded Lion" picture for 38 million.
Seeing Tang Ya's heart sinking, Gu Ning naturally felt relieved. Leng Shaoting really vented his anger for her invisibly!
Soon, we arrived at the ninth item, the "Xiangyunxuan" antique shop.
"The following is the ninth auction item, "Xiangyunxuan" antique shop." Zhao Xiyuan paused and continued: "Everyone who loves antiques must know that "Xiangyunxuan" is an old store that has been in business for seventy years. Honest We are famous for never deceiving our customers. If there had not been a sudden accident at the owner of "Xiangyunxuan", he would not have transferred it so easily. Therefore, there are many natural and man-made disasters that are beyond our control, and we must cherish them at all times. Don’t wait until you lose someone to understand the people around you. By then, it will be too late.”
After saying this, Zhao Xiyuan paused, and the atmosphere was inexplicably surrounded by sadness, because everyone had been touched by Zhao Xiyuan's words.
Yang Jianping asked himself, did he regret it
For now, he regrets it, but if things go back to two years ago, he will still make the same choice, because Zhao Xiyuan two years ago will still make him dislike it.
Soon, Zhao Xiyuan interrupted the slightly sad atmosphere: "Okay, there are a total of 583 objects in the "Xiangyunxuan" antique shop, including seven genuine items, 23 imitations, and the rest are all It's a handicraft. The starting price is 20 million, and each price increase must not be less than 1 million. The bidding begins." As for the value of these seven genuine items, I won't say it. One piece may be hundreds of thousands or millions. , it may be tens of millions, but you can’t say for sure, this is just a gamble. However, the foundation property of the "Xiangyunxuan" antique shop alone is worth more than 10 million, so the starting price cannot be too low.
"Number 48, 21 million."
"No. 62, 22 million."
·····
Gu Ning was not in a hurry to raise the price and waited until the last moment to come out.
"No. 56, 33 million."
After Qiu shouted, no one followed him, and then Gu Ning appeared.
When Gu Ning raised the sign, Leng Shaoting and others looked at her, as if confused and understanding, but no one said anything.
"Number 31, thirty-four million."
"No. 56, 35 million."
"Number 31, thirty-six million."
······
"No. 31, 46 million."
Finally, the antique shop "Xiangyunxuan" was purchased by Gu Ning for 46 million.
The auction continues.
Finally, the last auction item arrived.
"Okay, the first 12 items were all successfully auctioned, and now it's finally our turn for the final auction item, the Song Dynasty official kiln brush washer." After Zhao Xiyuan finished speaking, the official kiln brush washer was brought up: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price of this Song Dynasty official kiln brush wash is two million, and each increase in price must not be less than five hundred thousand. The bidding begins."
Then, many people held up signs.
"No. 3, two and a half million."
"On the 26th, three million."
······
"No. 2, twelve million."
"Twelve million, twelve million, is there any higher price? Twelve million once, twelve million twice, twelve million three times." No one shouted anymore, The hammer fell, and Zhao Xiyuan said: "The deal is completed. Congratulations to Guest No. 2 for successfully bidding."
In this auction, the price of the Song Dynasty official kiln brush washer was only in the middle to lower range, and the highest auction item sold for hundreds of millions.
The Detian auction is coming to an end. After Zhao Xiyuan said some closing words, the auction is completely over.
"Let's go to Fengling Villa for dinner today. I made a reservation yesterday." Xu Jingchen said.
There are many restaurants under the Xu family's name, but if you eat too much, you will get tired of it, and occasionally you need to change your taste. What's more, Xu Jingchen thought, this is Gu Ning's first time in the capital, so she has to take her to eat unique and delicious dishes, right
Moreover, Fengling Villa is halfway up the mountain, with mountains and water, and the scenery is beautiful.
