When this painting was still hanging in Ji's study, she was still young and her mother was still alive. At that time, it was her mother who carried her into the study to get something, and her hand touched the calligraphy and painting.
Ji Nuan thought that no matter how much the painting cost, she should buy it and hang it back in Ji's study.
"This painting is indeed one of the ten most valuable paintings in the country." Mo Jingshen's calm tone sounded, and the man's eyes slowly fell on her face: "Want it?"
Ji Nuan was about to speak when there was a sudden sound not far away. She turned her eyes and saw that two rows away from their seats, about six or seven meters away, the Rong brothers and sisters were sitting there. Someone stood up to ask for help. I went out temporarily and walked in front of them, and the voices of the voices reached here.
Ji Nuan's eyes happened to catch Rong Cheng's, and the indifference on Rong Cheng's face suddenly turned into a clear coldness.
Ji Nuan: "..."
It's just that his sister was rejected by the man his sister liked, and the man his sister liked showed up here with a female companion. Why did the general manager of Rong's show such a cold face
It is said that the rich kids in Beijing are used to being arrogant, but now she knows what true arrogance is.
Ji Nuan looked away calmly.
Rong Yan sat next to Rong Cheng, her eyes always falling in the direction of Mo Jingshen. The auction had been going on for almost an hour, and Mo Jingshen sat beside Ji Nuan and never left, nor did he call out to any of the auction items. price.
However, Mo Jingshen just sat there without any movement. In such a noisy environment, he was not overwhelmed by the noisy crowd at all. On the contrary, he seemed to have a sense of independence and purity.
Bidding has begun on the market. A famous painting that was sold for more than 100 million more than ten years ago or even nearly 20 years ago has been called for 300 million in the blink of an eye.
Ji Nuan originally wanted to wait until there was no one to bid before speaking, so as not to raise the price too high with one after another, but there was an endless stream of bids on the field, but after reaching the high point of 300 million, the price started to rise to 1,000. In case of an increase of 10 million, no one will directly increase the number of 100 million upwards.
Ji Nuan kept staring at the painting, thinking about the scene when her mother loved to hold her and walk back and forth in the study when she was still alive.
I didn't notice when Rong Yan and Rong Cheng sat down behind them, but suddenly I heard the brother and sister talking behind them: "Brother, this "Peach Garden" and the painting that grandpa liked before are both by Zhang Daqian. Hand, grandpa has always liked Zhang Daqian’s paintings, do you want to buy this one for him?”
After finishing speaking, Rong Yan added: "The current price can't increase much. I think the bidding will stop within 500 million, and it will be good to control the price within 500 million."
As soon as Rong Yan finished speaking, Ji Nuan's eyelids jumped.
Five hundred million
MN Group is on the rise, and although it has a lot of assets, if she squanders 500 million just for a painting, she really needs to reconsider.
After all, this is not a small amount. Even for a company like MN Group, it is not a small amount. Its foundation is not very strong. Moreover, a lot of money is still placed in the company's working capital and used for the company. stable operation of various projects.
She originally planned to price it at two to three hundred million.
Do Rong's siblings also like this painting
Ji Nuan raised his eyes and looked at the paintings on the stage again, his expression was calm and he said nothing.
At this moment, the auctioneer said: "The current price of Zhang Daqian's "Taoyuan Tu" has reached a high price of 390 million. Is there anyone who wants to continue to bid? At present, there is no famous domestic painting with a price exceeding 400 million. I don’t know if this price will be broken today…”
"Four hundred million." Rong Cheng raised his sign at this time.
The auctioneer's eyes suddenly looked at Rong Cheng, who was holding up the bid, with bright eyes: "Okay, this is really a historic moment. Is there anyone who wants to continue bidding?"
“…”
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
No matter how famous Zhang Daqian's paintings are, the market price is still more than 200 million. Now it has been directly sold to 400 million. They have to wonder if there is some deliberate price-gouging.
No matter how much I like to collect, at this price, the paintings hidden at home every day are not something that can be taken out. Apart from satisfying my hobby, there is no other unnecessary value. After thinking about it for a long time, the voices in the audience gradually became weaker. Many, no one continues to bid.
"There shouldn't be any more bids, right?" Rong Yan sat next to Rong Cheng and whispered.
Ji Nuan tapped her knees lightly from time to time with the number plate in her hand, staring at the painting, and there was a war between heaven and man in her heart, for the painting she had seen with her mother when she was a child, for the painting that Ji's family had lost To pay a high price for something, we should consider that MN Group is on the rise and needs money. Five hundred million is enough for the company to do a lot of things.
"The first time of 400 million, the second time of 400 million..." the auctioneer solemnly announced: "The first time of 400 million..."
Ji Nuan was suddenly about to raise the number in her hand to bid, but the moment she raised her hand, the man next to her had already raised it before her, and a low and indifferent voice sounded like thunder in the trapezoidal hall: "Six hundred million .”
"..."
“…”
There was an eerie silence in the whole place for a moment, followed by the sound of air-conditioning.
600 million, the only calligraphy and painting whose price reaches this figure in the history of domestic auctions.
Although this Daqian calligraphy and painting is expensive, the price is still too expensive. Many people in the audience had given up when it just cost 400 million, not to mention this price, which directly raised the threshold to the point where no one would dare to exceed the price. situation.
There was silence in the venue, and the Rong brothers and sisters did not expect that Mo Jingshen, who rarely participated in such auctions, would suddenly bid.
Rong Yan pursed her lips tightly and looked at the clear and indifferent back of the man in front of her.
"Six hundred million for the first time, six hundred million for the second time... Sixty million for the third time, deal done!"
The auctioneer was so excited that he made the final decision immediately.
Rong Cheng's expression was very ugly. He stood up the moment the weight fell, and Rong Yan quickly held him back: "Brother."
Ji Nuan also remained seated and did not get up.
She didn't know why Mo Jingshen offered such a high price. If it was just to help her get the painting, she would understand. After all, let alone the wealth and power of the Shine Group, it was just the financial strength of the past Mo family. It is not something that ordinary people can compare with in China, but buying a painting with 600 million makes her feel a little sad.
Then she heard Rong Cheng's angry voice behind her, and she could vaguely sense that it was probably because Rong Cheng had tripped her up in the bathroom before, and Mo Jingshen didn't leave any room for him to bid on this painting. There was no room for him to even compete or compete.
Seeing that Mo Jingshen was always aloof and indifferent, and even after taking the picture, he never even turned around to say a polite word, Rong Yan's eyes were full of hurt.
