Chapter 242 Showdown, I am the boss behind the scenes!
Another old man raised his eyebrows and said:
"Sure enough, the Xianling Mausoleum was stolen by the organizers. It seems that the golden winged crown and the twelve dragons and nine phoenix crowns are also in their hands!"
"Let's watch quietly for now. If those two crowns appear today, we must get them at all costs!"
The auction is in full swing, and every collection that comes out refreshes the understanding of all the buyers in the audience.
They didn't expect that there would be so many rare treasures in today's auction.
The fifteenth antique was brought up by the staff with both hands. It was a scroll.
After the staff unfolded it, it was a color painting on silk, depicting four singing and dancing palace maidens getting ready for the king's call to serve.
The lady in the painting has pink face, peach cheeks, willow eyes, cherry lips, and a pointed chin. Her forehead, nose, and chin are smudged with white powder, making her image even more charming and lovely.
"Dear buyers, this painting is called "Picture of Prostitutes in the Palace of Wangshu" and was painted by Tang Yin. The base price is 50 million, and each bid will be no less than 3 million!"
The host's words caused an uproar in the audience. None of the buyers here expected that they would see the authentic work of Tang Bohu here today!
"The Picture of Prostitutes in the Palace of Wang Shu" depicts the story of the harem of Wang Yan, the lord of Shu in the Five Dynasties.
In the picture, four singing and dancing palace maidens are getting dressed to wait for the king's call to serve. They wear golden lotus crowns on their heads, Taoist robes decorated with clouds and clouds, and rouge on their faces.
The three archaeological experts in the back row couldn't sit still when they saw this painting.
After all, there have been a lot of rumors about Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting auctions in recent years, but most of them are fakes, but this one is a real authentic work and has reached the level of cultural relics!
When Ouyang Qian saw this painting, she made a quick decision and raised the number plate without hesitation and shouted:
"Fifty-five million!"
Ouyang Qian knew in her heart that if she got this painting and resold it in the future, she could make a lot of money!
But she will not sell it, but will keep it in the Ouyang family as a store treasure. With the blessing of this painting, the Ouyang family's reputation in the antique world will become even greater.
Ouyang Qian's voice fell, and another shout came from the crowd:
"Sixty million!"
Chen Yuan chuckled, and the mouse calmly raised the number plate and said:
"Eighty million!"
Everyone heard the sound and turned around, their eyes falling on Tiger's face. Ouyang Qian gritted her teeth, turned to look at her father Ouyang Xiu and asked:
"Dad, what's our budget today?"
"There are still 200 million, but you have a choice!" Ouyang Xiu said calmly.
Ouyang Qian nodded, persistence flashed in her eyes, she held up the number plate again and said:
"Ninety million!"
At this moment, the entire audience was silent again. Some buyers even shook their heads regretfully.
"Ninety million for the first time! Ninety million for the second time!"
Just when the host was about to drop the hammer, Chen Yuan held up the number plate and said:
"One hundred million!"
Everyone present turned their attention to Chen Yuan again. When Ouyang Qian saw that Chen Yuan was causing trouble again, she couldn't help but questioned loudly in public with a smell of gunpowder:
"Mr. Chen Yuan, don't you think I look down on others? How can you give me 100 million!"
"You are just a doctor. You should have a few million dollars, but hundreds of millions of dollars is no joke! If you make trouble and bid maliciously, I have the right to request capital verification!"
Ouyang Qian crossed her arms and waited for Chen Yuan to make a fool of herself, while Chen Yuan replied lukewarmly:
"Whether I have money or not has nothing to do with you. If I succeed in bidding and have no money to pay, that is between me and the organizer. What do you worry about!"
Chen Yuan smiled and continued:
"It's really easy to eat carrots and worry less. If you have money, you can shoot. If you don't have money, just sit back and wait!"
Ouyang Qian coldly snorted:
"Our Ouyang family is one of the four major families, why can't it be inferior to yours! I will pay 120 million!"
"One hundred and forty million!" Chen Yuan continued to follow the price!
The two of them were at war with each other, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder. Ouyang Qian thought in her heart:
“One hundred and eighty million!
"Chen Yuan, let's see how much capital you have to compete with me!" Ouyang Qian provoked.
The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and Ouyang Qian finally got the upper hand.
"I won't follow!" Chen Yuan laughed.
Ouyang Qian was very proud after hearing this, and successfully won the "Picture of Prostitutes in Wang Shu Palace", while Ouyang Xiu frowned, pulled Ouyang Qian and said thoughtfully:
"Why do I always feel like something is wrong?"
But Ouyang Qian's face was full of excitement at this time. She didn't think about anything else and said without caring:
"There's nothing wrong. Taking down this prostitute from Wang Shu Palace will be of great benefit to our family!"
Ouyang Xiu couldn't think of anything for a while, and he didn't get too entangled!
After another hour, the auction finally came to an end. All thirty collections were sold tonight. Just tonight, Mr. Chen Yuan earned 800 million!
At this moment, Chen Yuan and the three of them were gathered together, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.
Chen Yuan looked at the mouse and smiled:
"Now I finally understand why you did the reverse fight before. The money comes so fast!"
"Brother Yuan, now you are a serious billionaire!" Yu Wen envied.
The mouse also laughed and said:
"These antiques are also of high value. After all, they are the burial objects of the emperor. The folk ones are incomparable!"
Just as the three of them were talking and laughing, the sarcasm came again:
"Isn't this Mr. Chen? Why didn't Mr. Chen get any antiques today?"
When Chen Yuan heard the sound, he knew without looking that it was Ouyang Qian here again, and she must have come to mock him on purpose.
Chen Yuan turned around and looked at Ouyang Qian and sneered:
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Ouyang Qian shrugged and said with a joking smile:
"You want to compete for something that my Ouyang family is interested in. How can you compare your capital with ours? Do you have that strength?"
"I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I got ridicule and sarcasm in return. Stop pretending. I am the boss behind the organizer. I'm showing off my cards!"
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Qian burst into laughter and said:
"Now that you don't have to pay taxes when you brag, why don't you say you are the richest man in the Dragon Kingdom!"
As soon as Ouyang Qian finished speaking, she saw the host of the auction running toward Chen Yuan and others with a report in his hand.
The host handed the report to Chen Yuan and said respectfully:
"Mr. Chen, this is the final statistical report of funds. The Ouyang family spent the most tonight!"
Chen Yuan took the report and looked at it. Sure enough, Ouyang Qian was ranked first. She alone contributed more than 300 million to Chen Yuan.
At this time, Ouyang Qian was already stunned. Judging from the scene just now, what Chen Yuan said was true. He was the boss behind the auction organizer!
"How can this be!"
Ouyang Qian looked in disbelief. She couldn't figure out where Chen Yuan got so many antiques!
Chen Yuan looked at Ouyang Qian and sneered:
"What's impossible! Tonight's top consumer list is you Ouyang Qian. Thank you Miss Ouyang for your support!"
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Yu Wen and said with a bad smile:
"Yu Wen, go get Miss Ouyang a cup of herbal tea to calm the fire!"
Ouyang Qian also realized it at this time. No wonder Chen Yuan kept bidding but failed to win any antiques.
Ouyang Qian, who thought she had gained a lot tonight, was still complacent, but now she knows that Chen Yuan is the biggest winner!
"Chen Yuan, you are so cruel!"
Ouyang Qian was so angry that she gritted her teeth, stamped her feet, then turned around and left with a look of reluctance.
As soon as the auction ended, she immediately looked for Chen Yuan, with the purpose of humiliating him, but she didn't expect that the clown turned out to be herself!
Seeing the furious Ouyang Qian, Chen Yuan was relieved and in a good mood.
At this moment, three archaeological experts from the museum walked towards Chen Yuan and said:
"It turns out you are the boss behind the scenes!"
