"The asking price for that watt is so high? Is it inevitable that it will be won?"
"Humph, the British are very cunning. Does he think he can scare away competitors like this?"
"That is, how could our Chinese national treasure be taken away so easily by the British?"
"I'll give you 50,000 yuan!"
At this moment, a wealthy Chinese businessman started bidding.
Watt thought for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and called out the price again: "Eighty thousand oceans!"
This bid was directly capped. Duobao Pavilion's quote was 80,000 oceans, and Watt directly offered 80,000 oceans.
The people around Watt all looked solemn.
Because of Duobao Pavilion’s quotation, you can definitely make a profit below 80,000 yuan. But after 80,000 yuan, you have to consider it.
However, many people were unwilling to accept that China's national treasure fell into the hands of foreigners so easily. Finally, a wealthy Chinese businessman once again asked for a price: "Ninety thousand yuan!"
"Wow, ninety thousand?"
There was an uproar at the scene.
Duanwu glanced at the Chinese businessmen and thought to himself: I forgot something. There were many patriotic people present. It would be a bit unbearable to trick them.
In other words, these fake antiques were originally intended to be sold to foreigners in Dragon Boat Festival.
Then Duan Wu laughed and said: "Ninety thousand oceans. This gentleman is really discerning. This is a national treasure. In China, it may only be worth ninety thousand oceans, but when it comes to foreign countries, it is a priceless treasure."
I really appreciate this British friend's vision, but unfortunately, the price is higher for us Chinese.
Ninety thousand once, ninety thousand twice,..."
"I'll pay you 120,000 yuan!"
Watt gritted his teeth and directly called out a sky-high price.
"One hundred and twenty thousand oceans, suddenly it is higher than forty thousand oceans!"
"The British are really rich!"
"Damn it, is China's national treasure just taken away by the British?"
"Grandma, I want to buy a house and buy back a national treasure."
"Wait a minute, there are treasures behind. We can't compete with the British at this time."
"Yes, yes, yes, there is more in that box. We can't be impulsive!"
·················
After some discussion, no one made any further bids.
Watt was very happy and laughed proudly.
At this time, Duanwu directly made the decision: "Congratulations to this friend from the UK for winning the Wenwang Tripod. Someone will come and seal the tripod."
"yes!"
The guards brought a prepared wooden box, made of rosewood. They put the Wenwang Cauldron into it on the spot, along with the appraisal certificate issued by Duobao Pavilion and so on.
At this time, Watt was very relieved and waited for the second treasure.
Others are also waiting to see. Because the box containing the treasure looks very big. Everyone feels that there will definitely be more than one Wenwang Tripod in it.
And sure enough, the Dragon Boat Festival did not disappoint everyone. He took out another landscape painting and said: "This is Mr. Zheng Banqiao's painting when he was young. Everyone knows that Mr. Zheng Banqiao is best at painting bamboo.
Most of the bamboos he painted were freehand works, and they were completed in one go. The brushstrokes were vigorous and round, sparse and flying, with contrasting shades, virtual reality, and full of humor. The bamboos he painted were proud and vigorous. The bamboos he painted were sparse in appearance, thin and vigorous in strokes, and naturally
It has an otherworldly style, so it is also called "Zheng Bamboo".
But the most important thing is that the bamboos painted by this old gentleman have a strong sense of life, branch by leaf. Whether they are dead bamboos in new bamboos, clumps of single branches, bamboos in the wind or bamboos in the rain, they are all full of change.
wonderful.
Like bamboo, the heights are staggered, the shades are withered, and the touches are all exquisite. The painting style is fresh, beautiful, and otherworldly, giving people a unique feeling.
He once wrote to himself: "Something is in the paper, and some is outside the paper. This time there are more bamboo poles than bamboo leaves,..."
However, this old gentleman did not draw bamboos from the beginning. When he was young, he painted landscapes.
It's just that at that time, his painting skills were not very mature, so he didn't have much fame.
However, there are very few landscape paintings handed down by Mr. Zheng. Therefore, Duobao Pavilion quoted 120,000 yuan, which is also very high. You can take a look."
As Duanwu said, he asked two guards to wear gloves and unfold them for everyone to see.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw the landscape painting. If someone took out a bamboo painting by Zheng Banqiao, it would not be surprising, because this old man painted the most bamboos in his life. But who has seen landscape painting? And it is an early work?
The early paintings are actually not very good, but the more they look like this, the more valuable they are. Just like coins.
There is an amount on this coin, one hundred is one hundred, fifty is fifty, twenty is twenty. He is worth so much.
However, it is different if you have a wrong version of the coin. The one hundred yuan is likely to be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
This money is wrong and theoretically cannot be spent, but it is more valuable.
The same is true for the paintings of some famous artists. The painting style in the later period is mature and the paintings are very exquisite, but their value is only so much. On the contrary, the early paintings, even if they are painted like those of elementary school students, are far beyond
increased the value of other paintings.
Therefore, after the introduction of Dragon Boat Festival, everyone present became excited. Some people even shouted: "What is the starting price of this painting? Let's start quickly!"
Dragon Boat Festival said: "Okay!"
"I'll give you 140,000 yuan!"
At this moment Watt raised his hands high.
Duanwu felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Sir, you have to give others a chance?"
Watt proudly said: "I don't have any merit in this life, but I have a lot of money. Hahaha! Is there anyone bidding? Hahaha! Who dares to steal something from me, Watt? I will kill him with money! Hahaha!....
..”
"Damn it, how come the British are so rich?"
"Damn it, is this national treasure going to be snatched away by the British again?"
"We can't just let him get away with it like that. We and the others worked together to buy this painting. We can't let the national treasure leak out again."
Several wealthy businessmen discussed it and called out the price again: "150,000 oceans!"
Seeing this, Duanwu quickly said: "It's already 150,000 yuan. It's already 150,000 yuan. But I believe that the value of this painting will be far more than that. Although I don't know how to paint, I know the principle of rare things being valuable."
.And I also believe that everyone present is a person who recognizes treasures."
"One hundred and sixty thousand oceans!"
Watt smiled and raised his hands, obviously he just wanted to crush the opponent with price.
Several wealthy Chinese businessmen frowned and were discussing the price increase. However, at this moment, General Philip shouted: "I'm paying 180,000 yuan, Mr. Dragon Boat Festival, can you give me this face?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Mr. Philip, I really want to give you this face, but this is an auction, and the highest bidder gets it. There is nothing I can do about it. But I think the price is about the same. If Mr. Watt can make it
If I give it to you, then he is yours."
Watt said arrogantly: "I will not give up to a Yankee who does not understand art. I offer two hundred thousand yuan, Mr. Philip, you'd better do what you can. Compared with my financial resources, you are the best
