Not only Zhu Xinyi, but also several others thought so.
This is not the first time they have been to this kind of private auction. Most of the time, the items at the auction are both good and bad.
After all, the purpose of the banquet is not just for the auction, but more for socializing. There will be some people who don't like collecting in the first place, and they will just get dispensable things from other places and quote a high price for them.
It doesn't matter whether he can be photographed or not, what's important is that people know him.
The painting in front of me is obviously this kind of thing.
Yin Zeming hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything. So many people had tried to persuade him, so it seemed redundant for him to speak out again.
Besides, with someone like Jiang Zhihao, would he give up his decision just because of your persuasion?
No big shot will easily obey the opinions of others, because they themselves are at the level of giving orders.
Surprisingly, the auction price of this painting was very strong. It was originally expected to fetch only around one million, but as a result, you raised one hand and I raised another, and it actually exceeded two million.
In the end, even Ji Zimo couldn't help but said: "Mr. Jiang, the price is indeed too high, otherwise we should forget it?"
The real value of Zhang Daqian has never been his calligraphy, but his paintings.
Just like Xu Beihong's most valuable thing is always a horse, Qi Baishi's most valuable thing is always a shrimp.
Simply taking out the calligraphy is far less valuable than what you are best at, not to mention that Zhang Daqian only wrote four inscriptions and postscripts on this painting.
But Jiang Zhihao still insisted on his opinion and kept raising his hands. Ji Zimo sighed, shook his head and said nothing.
In the end, the painting was photographed by Jiang Zhihao, and the price was 2.7 million.
When the auction host dropped the hammer, many people turned their heads and looked at Jiang Zhihao with playful expressions.
This young man who has a close relationship with Chairman Ji actually spent more than two million yuan to buy such a painting. He is really a fool. It seems that he must be the prodigal son of a big family and does not take money seriously.
The process of a private auction is not as complicated as that of a regular auction house. After the auction, you can pay directly and get the painting on the spot, which saves a lot of time.
After taking the painting into his hands, Jiang Zhihao's smile became even brighter.
Seeing him smiling so happily, Ji Zimo couldn't help but said: "It seems that Mr. Jiang really likes this painting. Although the price is a bit expensive, there is a saying that a thousand dollars cannot buy. I am happy."
What he said was a way of smoothing things over for Jiang Zhihao.
In the end, Jiang Zhihao said: "Two million and seven hundred thousand is not expensive. In my opinion, it is a bargain. The true value of this painting must be at least 60 million or more."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Everyone around looked at Jiang Zhihao in astonishment. More than 60 million?
Zhu Xinyi didn't want to go against Jiang Zhihao, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Jiang, have you mistaken this painting with any other famous painting? This is just an ordinary painting with Zhang Daqian's inscription and postscript.
, the price of more than one million is a premium, how can it be sold for 60 million."
"That's because you don't understand." Jiang Zhihao said: "This painting is one of Zhang Daqian's private paintings, but few people know about it."
"How is that possible?" Zhu Xinyi was the first to cry out again: "When it comes to gambling on stones, I may not be as good as you, Mr. Jiang. But I am still quite knowledgeable in calligraphy and painting. I have read all Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and paintings.
, whether it’s genuine or imitation, I’ve never heard of him painting pictures of goddesses scattering flowers.”
