"His name is Zheng Guangming, the president of Wuzhou Guangming Group, and is also a well-known figure in the antique circle. He usually likes to collect Song Ming calligraphy and paintings. If he appears, I'm afraid I will be out of the way today." Seeing Su Tie's face showing a question, Wu Wei hurriedly introduced in a low voice.
road.
As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Guangming again, his tone of indignation.
Su Tie couldn't help but pause, followed Wu Wei's gaze, glanced at Zheng Guangming again, and said in confusion: "Why did you have no chance when he appears?"
"You don't know, this person is known as the killer of ancient paintings. As long as the auction he participated in, regardless of the quality, age, price of the calligraphy and paintings, as long as he was auctioned publicly, he would buy them at any cost. The most crazy thing is that he swept Jinling continuously and swept across the country.
Auctions in more than a dozen cities including Jiangzhou and Donghai made many people return empty-handed." Wu Wei smiled bitterly and explained.
Upon hearing this, Su Tie couldn't help but glance at Zheng Guangming again. He really didn't expect that there were such a fanatical person in the antique collection circle.
After pausing, he said curiously: "As far as I know, calligraphy and painting are not cheap. I swept over a dozen auctions and didn't have more than one billion assets. I'm afraid I can't get it. But the Guangming Group you mentioned just now, I'm not going to do it.
I haven't heard of it, it should be average."
"Yes, Guangming Group is indeed average. Even in Wuzhou, it is just a third-rate enterprise. However, the financial backer behind Zheng Guangming is not simple." Wu Wei nodded slightly and then said in a deep voice.
"There is a financial backer behind Zheng Guangming, who is he?" Su Tie couldn't help but pause and said in confusion.
Wu Wei smiled playfully and said coldly: "Although there is no definite news, it is basically certain that the financial backer behind Zheng Guangming is the Zhang family in Xiangjiang, and most of the calligraphy and paintings he took were taken by the old man of the Zhang family.
of."
"Xiangjiang, Zhang family?" Su Tie's face changed, and he couldn't help but glance at Zheng Guangming again. He really didn't expect that the other party had this background.
Although Xiangjiang has only been back to China for a decade or twenty years, he is well-known to the Zhang family in Xiangjiang.
In the early years, he made a fortune in smuggling business, but later he wasted and started to engage in education, film and television, real estate and other industries, gradually becoming one of the best families in Xiangjiang.
Cy Tie remembers that in the early 1990s, there were more than a dozen popular movies produced by the Zhang family.
If the financial backer behind Zheng Guangming is really the Zhang family in Xiangjiang, it would be a good idea to explain why the other party is so rich and powerful.
After all, a few hundred million calligraphy and paintings are really a drop in the bucket for the Zhang family.
"It's really unlucky. I thought this kind of small auction would be easier, but I didn't expect that a big shark came directly. It seems that it will be a waste of time today." Seeing Zheng Guangming sitting directly in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by everyone.
Wu Wei sighed in a row of VIP seats.
Su Tie smiled, and didn't say much, then glanced at Zheng Guangming again.
But soon, he was attracted by the old man wearing a black robe and full of silver hair beside Zheng Guangming.
The old man was about seventy or eighty years old. Although he was short, he had extraordinary demeanor. Especially his slightly sunken eyes gave people a sense of unfathomableness. Therefore, even though he stood beside Zheng Guangming, he was simply
Not like a follower.
"This person is not simple, he should not be an ordinary person." Wu Zhongyang, who was sitting aside and never spoke, suddenly said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Su Tie was stunned and said curiously: "Brother Wu, what have you seen?"
"I can't be sure for the time being, but there is a lotus mark on the wrist of this person's right hand. I seem to have seen it somewhere." Wu Zhongyang shook his head gently and looked at the old man's eyes full of fear.
Upon hearing this, Su Tie hurriedly glanced over and sure enough, at the old man's right arm, he saw a lotus-shaped mark.
The lotus mark is only the size of a baby's palm, the color is single, and the pattern is extremely simple, but it gives people a gloomy feeling, as if it is growing in the underworld of Jiuyou.
Just as Cyprus was about to observe carefully, the auction began.
The first one to start shooting was a picture of a cow shepherd in the Tang Dynasty, with a starting price of 270,000 yuan. Although the quality is average, due to the cheap price, it quickly attracted many bidders.
"Haha, what's the use of shouting the price so fiercely? With Zheng Guangming here, how could anyone else have a chance?" Hearing the repeated shouting, Wu Wei shook his head repeatedly, his tone of anger.
He has been interested in this cowherding picture for a long time, and he has specially found several experts to identify it. Although the quality is average, it is definitely worth taking pictures with the super low price.
Originally, he was determined to win this time, but he didn't expect that Zheng Guangming would come out halfway, completely dispelling his idea of yelling.
He was really very popular when he thought of such a cheap and affordable ancient painting, but he had to give up someone.
"Mr. Wu, I see that Mr. Zheng, it seems that he is not very interested in this cowherd picture. Why don't you try to shout the price?" At this moment, Su Tie suddenly said with a smile.
As he said, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Zheng Guangming sitting in the VIP seat. At this time, the other party was closing his eyes tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wu Wei waved his hands repeatedly and said coldly: "Brother Su, you don't know. Zheng Guangming is like this when he participates in the auction. Don't look at him not calling for a price now, he will be finalized when he reaches the highest position."
"I think that he came here this time not for calligraphy and painting, but for other intentions." Su Tie shook his head, then glanced at the old man standing next to Zheng Guangming.
Although he didn't know the identity of the old man, he always felt that it was not easy for these two people to come this time.
In addition, he has also noticed the list of bidding items. Although there are indeed a few ancient paintings with good looks, they are not worth mentioning compared to those large auctions.
In the end of the year, several major cities such as Jinling and Binjiang have several large auctions. If the other party is really willing to sweep the calligraphy and paintings, he will not waste time in such small auctions.
Wu Wei didn't know what Su Tie thought, just laughed mockingly, shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Su, you don't understand Zheng Guangming. He is simply a madman. He robs calligraphy and paintings whenever he sees it. He doesn't care about money or quality at all. I'm bidding now, pure
It is to bring shame to oneself."
Although he said so, he couldn't help but shouted out the price.
After all, I have been thinking about it for more than ten days. If I don’t call for the price now, I’m afraid there will be no chance for those paintings in the next few more.
"Forty-six thousand, the deal!"
"What...what?" Shortly after Wu Wei shouted out the price, the host dropped the auction hammer and looked at his name appearing on the big screen. Wu Wei was stunned.
