Although Li Xuan now has a lot of money, and he can't even remember the number, but nine digits is quite a lot.
Li Xuan originally thought that no one would like this kind of thing, but according to Chang Ziwei, it seems that there are many people who specialize in collecting similar items.
Chang Ziwei said: "Brother Xuan, there is a group of people rushing to buy and collect this kind of things in Haidu and even in the upper class circles of China. Well, did you see that bald man wearing sunglasses over there? He is a big man in this field.
Player. He doesn’t want any calligraphy, painting or antiques, he only wants these weird things.”
"There is also the old man with the goatee. He is the owner of Haidu Jubaozhai, and he is a competitor with the bald man. Every time he encounters this kind of auction, he has to fight for dozens of rounds."
"There is also the Pang family in Haidu. Their owner is also a big buyer. Last year, he spent 400 million to buy an elixir dug out of an ancient tomb and take it home to study. I don't know if he died after eating it."
Only then did Li Xuan realize that the competition was so fierce, but he still said: "It doesn't matter, no matter who the competitor is, I am bound to get these two things."
Chang Ziwei nodded and said: "Okay, brother Xuan, since you said so, I will call my family immediately and ask them to prepare the money. I estimate that three to four billion can be almost done."
"You don't need to pay, I have it." Li Xuan said, "I still have several billion in the bank with no place to spend it, and I don't know if it will get moldy or not."
Chang Ziwei's face froze, and he said after a long pause: "Brother Xuan, although I know you don't mean to show off, can you please stop talking like this in the future, it will make people jealous!"
While chatting, the bell for the start of the auction rang, and everyone got up, climbed to the third floor, and entered the venue.
The third floor of Baowen Hall is a special auction venue. The layout is very elegant and noble. Everyone sits down separately and each receives a number plate. When bidding, just raise the plate.
There are even several secret boxes on one side of the venue. If there are guests who do not want to reveal their identity, they can bid in the boxes.
As for deposits in other auctions, there is no need here at all, because the people who can enter are all big names, and breach of contract is impossible to happen to them.
Li Xuan's table is naturally the one that attracts the most attention.
Li Xuan and Penny, one is a mysterious young man who makes even Mu dignitaries grovel, and the other is a stunning beauty who is radiant but useless. This combination is destined to attract the most attention no matter what occasion it is on.
As for the Second Young Master Chang Ziwei, he was automatically ignored and turned into the background.
After a while, the lights in the venue dimmed and the lights on the auction table came on. The main auctioneer and four assistant auctioneers came onto the stage and introduced themselves one by one.
Yang Mengmeng was one of the four assistant auctioneers. She was wearing a uniform, dignified and very beautiful.
"Pa bang bang", when Yang Mengmeng introduced herself, inappropriate applause suddenly broke out in the venue.
Li Xuan turned around and saw that Young Master Chang's slap was almost red. His eyes were fixed on Yang Mengmeng on the stage, and his saliva seemed to be flowing down.
Li Xuan covered his face, feeling a little ashamed to sit at the same table with this idiot.
Yang Mengmeng's face was also a little red. The second young master usually rolled his eyes at him, hurriedly finished his self-introduction and returned to his original position.
This idiot was actually a little strange and asked Li Xuan: "Why is she blushing?"
Li Xuan ignored him.
After the previous series of processes are completed, the auction enters the formal stage.
First up is the first auction item, a calligraphy and painting by Bada Shanren.
The atmosphere of competition in the market was fierce, and the price of the painting continued to rise, and was finally sold at a price of 69 million.
One auction after another appeared, some fetched high prices, while others unfortunately failed to sell.
The sixth lot was represented by Yang Mengmeng. She introduced it as an auction assistant. The starting price was 5 million.
Several customers shouted prices to each other, and when they reached 18 million, they became weak. At this time, Li Xuan suddenly shouted 30 million, and the hammer fell.
"Haha, thank you Brother Xuan for supporting me." Chang Ziwei said, "This commission is worth tens of thousands, which is enough for Mengmeng and I to eat dozens of meals of top-quality beef."
Li Xuan was speechless.
I usually spend a lot of money and don't feel bad about spending tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands a day. But having a girlfriend is different. Tens of thousands of dollars can be achieved successfully. Will every man become this kind of character after getting married?
The subsequent auction was uneventful, and Li Xuan simply closed his eyes.
Seeing that there were only a few lots left, the main auctioneer suddenly said: "Dear distinguished guests, I would like to announce the news that I have just received. This auction will temporarily add an additional lot!"
Temporarily add lots?
Everyone was a little surprised.
Generally speaking, the preparation period for such high-end auctions is very long, some even take more than one or two years. How many lots will be included, what types they are, how to arrange the order, how to promote it, and what kind of guests to invite.
, all need to be considered comprehensively, and any change in any link must be very cautious.
Baowen Hall, in particular, has always been very rigorous. In the past ten years of auctions, there has never been any temporary additional auctions.
What's going on today?
Moreover, Baowen Hall can be asked to change the rules and temporarily add auction items. What kind of treasure is it?
Everyone has a lot of interest.
The main photographer said with some excitement: "You will definitely want to know what the temporary additional photo was. I will ask you to take photos of this item now."
The screen flashed on the big screen, and a picture of words appeared.
The whole place was in an uproar, and several distinguished guests stood up excitedly.
"Is that the calligraphy?"
"Oh my God, it could actually be it?"
"Is it an authentic work? It's impossible. Didn't you say it was sent to the treasure house?"
…
Li Xuan was also shocked.
what happened?
The words that appeared on the big screen were actually the "ask" that Li Xuan used at the Huitian Pharmaceutical Charity Banquet a while ago!
Wasn’t that painting given to the National Museum for collection? Why did it appear in this auction?
Wait... Li Xuan soon discovered that this "asking" was not the other "asking". It was not his original work, but a vivid copy.
Unfortunately, copying products can only copy the shape of the characters, but they cannot copy the true meaning contained in the characters.
There was a commotion in the venue, and the photographer waited for a moment with a proud look on his face before beckoning everyone to quiet down.
Someone asked impatiently: "Tell me what's going on with this calligraphy?"
The main photographer said: "Please be patient. In fact, this calligraphy is not authentic..."
There was a burst of regret on the field, but the anticipation on everyone's faces did not diminish.
The main photographer continued: "However, this is the only copy we have made through special channels, and the copyist is a national master of calligraphy and painting, and his standards are completely trustworthy. The most important thing is, through us
Through comparison of instruments, the degree of copying of the original work reached 99.99%!”
Li Xuan smiled secretly.
99.99%?
You are so good at it, you can’t even copy 0.00001% of the artistic conception of this calligraphy!
