The second auction item was a painting. It caused a small commotion as soon as it appeared.
"Wow, it's Zhang Daqian's painting. It's really the Jiang-Shan Painting. My old man has always wanted it. I didn't expect to see it here today.”"It's hard to tell if a work of art is authentic or not.”……
Chen Mu heard the discussions around him.
So that was the case. Although Chen Mu had never come into contact with antiques, he had heard of Zhang Daqian's name. One of his paintings was worth a fortune.
"Boss, the estimated market price of Zhang Daqian's [Jiang-Shan Qian-Tu] is between 75 to 80 million.”Chen Qiuyi took out her phone to look up the relevant information and then said to Chen Mu.
"Really? This painting is worth 80 million?”Chen Mu was a little suspicious, but he continued,""But I like the name of this painting, the River-Mountain Painting.”Pausing for a moment, he whispered into Chen Qiuyi's ear,""Do you think this painting looks good in my villa's living room?”
Chen Qiuyi took a deep breath and looked at the boss in shock.
"Doesn't it look good?" Chen Mu misunderstood.
Chen Qiuyi was speechless." My big boss, you put an 80 million yuan painting in the living room as an ornament. I can only say that I'm impressed by you!”
"Hehe, you're talking about this. Can't I?”Chen Mu asked with a smile.
"I have nothing to say." Chen Qiuyi looked defeated.
Chen Mu chuckled.
At this moment, the auction had already begun. Many rich people were interested in Zhang Daqian's calligraphy.
The starting price was 60 million.
In just a few minutes, the price soared to 70 million.
The price of 70 million was a hurdle, and the number of people who increased the bid decreased.
"70 million, anyone else? 70 million going once…70 million going twice…"
"75 million." Finally, before the third bid of 70 million was called out, someone in the first row raised their placard. It was a woman in her forties. She was still charming and must have been a beauty when she was young.
Looking at the imposing manner in which she shouted, she seemed to be the only one who could do it.
"She is the chairman of Shanghai Huineng Industry Group, Ms. Chen Xia. The richest woman in Shanghai, ranked seventh on the 2015 Hurun Rich Women List with a wealth of 20 billion yuan.”Chen Qiuyi whispered.
Chen Mu couldn't help but take a few more glances at the woman.
"Seventy-five million, anyone else?”The auctioneer asked again.
"Seventy-six million." There were still people bidding. Chen Mu looked up and saw a middle-aged man. With Chen Qiuyi, who knew everything, around, he knew the middle-aged man's identity. He was Ding Zhaohua, the executive director of the Shanghai real estate giant Ronglu Group.
"Eighty million." The richest woman raised her placard again.
He was determined to win.
The executive director of Rong Lu Group hesitated. He estimated that the price of 80 million was already beyond his tolerance for this work.
"80 million, anyone else?”The auctioneer seemed to be very satisfied with the price. He quickly asked.
At this moment, the audience was silent. No one was willing to raise the price.
"80 million going once."
No one made a sound.
"80 million going twice."
Still, no one made a sound.
Chen Qiuyi couldn't help but glance at her boss. As expected, her boss raised his sign and called out a number that made her heart beat rapidly."100 million."
Everyone was in an uproar!
Countless gazes were cast over.
Chen Xia, the richest woman in the front row, even stood up and turned to look at them.
"F * ck, Mumu, you're awesome. You're the nouveau riche.”Zhao Si was utterly impressed by Chen Mu's bold move. If he knew that Chen Mu had only bought the painting to decorate the living room, he wondered what he would think.
Anyway, Chen Qiuyi was already dumbfounded!
At the same time, a woman and two men were sitting in a small conference room next to the auction. There was a screen in front of them that showed every move in the auction in real time.
One of the three was He Zihao. He was wearing a Marine uniform, and the major general's rank on his shoulder was eye-catching.
The other man was about forty years old. He was wearing a white tunic suit and gave off a gentle and refined feeling. He held a cup of tea in his hand and slowly tasted it. Even when he heard Chen Mu's bid of 100 million, he didn't even look up.
The only woman was dressed in a green military uniform without any military rank. She looked valiant and valiant, and her figure and appearance were extremely beautiful. She was not inferior to Chen Qiuyi. Furthermore, this woman had a rare demeanor of a general. From the seats of the three people and the attitude of the two men towards her, it could be seen that this woman was the boss.
He Zihao was clearly older than the woman by several years, but he did call her sister." Sister Mei, this is my friend, Chen Mu. He's a rich man and a forthright person. I think we can date, so I invited him.”
Zhu Xuemei's face was expressionless as she nodded.
At the auction venue, the auctioneer was so excited that his face and neck turned red. He shouted,
"100 million, going once."
"100 million, going twice."
"100 million, going thrice. Sold. Congratulations on obtaining Master Zhang Daqian's River-Mountain Painting.”
Finally, the moment the hammer struck down, the audience applauded.
