"Show off your love and get out."
Lin Xi was rather dissatisfied, and her voice was naturally not low.
For a moment, many bidders turned their heads in shock and looked over.
Some were confused.
Some of them looked disgusted.
Some were even more curious.
In the corner of the second row, a woman wearing sunglasses looked at Lin Xi with interest.
"It's Lin Xi."
"I have to find a chance to interview him.”
After muttering to himself, he lowered his head and browsed through the brochure distributed by the auction company.
There were detailed introductions of the fifty pieces of artwork in the brochure.
The woman's browsing speed was very fast, and she flipped through most of the pages with a glance.
When she flipped to the last piece, she immediately stopped. Her eyes were already shining and she couldn't wait.
"If the real thing is as exquisite as the picture, I must get it no matter what.”
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this art auction.”
At this moment, the host walked up to the podium and slowly introduced.
"All the works in this auction are from young artists under the age of 35.”
" Some of them have long been successful, while some are unknown for the time being. But one thing is certain. With their talent and hard work, their future achievements are limitless. Furthermore, as they grew older and their status rose, any of their works had great potential for appreciation.”
"In short, every investment today means a thousand-fold return.”
"Back to the main topic, the auction has officially begun.”
"The painting of the first auction item,'The Eagle Spreads Its Wings Over a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains', was completed by the young artist Meng He of Yan City after two years.”
"Meng He never went to a formal art academy. He was completely self-taught. He had studied painting for twenty-five years and was especially good at landscape painting. The starting price of this item is 200,000. Each bid must not be lower than 10,000. The auction begins.”
Unexpectedly, after the host finished speaking, the scene fell into a strange silence.
No one spoke, no one bid.
Generally speaking, the items that appeared at the beginning of the auction were mostly of low value.
The truly good things were basically the last to appear.
However, it was too exaggerated that there was no one bidding like Meng He.
In the last row of the auction, a bearded man sat upright. When he realized that no one was bidding, he sighed slightly, looking extremely depressed.
"This brother named Meng He seems to have encountered a small problem!”
Lin Xi observed the painting thoughtfully.
"What do you think of this painting?" Liu Xiaoning asked.”
" Exquisite skills and high standards."
Lin Xi spat out.
"I think it's good too, but why isn't anyone bidding?”" Are we all idiots?" Liu Xiaoning asked in confusion.”
"Not only are they not fools, but they are also too shrewd.”Lin Xi smiled." Since you like it, then buy it. Hang it in our living room later."”
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his identity token.
"500,000."
Hearing Lin Xi's bid, Jiang Yuqing glared at him." Are you crazy? Even if he wanted to buy it, there was no need to pay 500,000!”
"Rich and willful!"
Lin Xi smiled." Besides, this painting is indeed outstanding and worth the price.”
At the same time, the host was overjoyed.
"Guest No. 27 bid 500,000. What good taste! Is there a higher price? 510,000 yuan. With just 510,000 yuan, he could buy the early works of a future great artist. The investment value was extremely high.”
"This lousy painting can be sold for 500,000 yuan. This guy is a fool!”
"Hmph, I think Meng He is just pretending to be noble. On the surface, he was disdainful, but in fact, he had already hired someone to act as a scapegoat.”
"That makes sense."
“……”
The sound of discussion quietly rang out.
On the one hand, it was because he despised Lin Xi's gaze.
Others looked down on Meng He.
The former was the real customer bidder.
The latter were young artists like Meng He.
Meng He looked at Lin Xi from afar, his heart filled with gratitude.
In fact, he did not want to sell this work, but his wife was seriously ill and had no choice.
"We will now bid for the second work. The author is Li Jun. He graduated from the Yan City Academy of Fine Arts and studied under the dean, Master Feng Renping. The starting price is 220,000, and each increment must not be lower than 10,000.”
As soon as the host finished his introduction, someone immediately raised their placard.
"220,000."
"230,000."
“……”
Under the host's passionate persuasion, the auction price rose rapidly and finally stopped at 310,000.
With a successful precedent, the following auction proceeded smoothly.
In just half an hour, none of the ten items were sold.
Moreover, there were at least two people competing back and forth to raise the bidding price.
The only problem was that none of them exceeded 500,000 yuan.
"Lin Xi, which of these items do you think are really bought? What are the prior arrangements?"
The items were auctioned one after another.
There were calligraphy, paintings, crafts, and sculptures. It was dazzling.
Liu Xiaoning suddenly asked after the fifteenth item was bought.
"I'm not sure. Maybe Yuqing knows.”
Jiang Yuqing rolled her eyes." This is confidential information. My dad won't tell me.”
……
"Item 25, a pair of white marble lions, sculpted by Lin Xi.”
" Lin Xi has been praised as the most outstanding young sculptor in various online forums. His work has been bought by Yan City University at a high price and is permanently erected on campus.”
"The starting price of the stone lion sculpture is 350,000. Each bid must not be lower than 20,000.”
Following the host's introduction, a staff member carried the sculpture up.
The stone lion was not big, only half a meter tall.
The design was exquisite and lifelike.
Through the lens, every detail of the stone lion was projected on the big screen.
Its fur, bones, and eyes were flawless.
Everyone looked at the big screen and the authentic stone lion, and fell into a strange silence.
"It can't be?"
The host had already finished his introduction and was quietly waiting for the bids to be made. Unexpectedly, no one answered.
For the first time, Lin Xi felt a chill down her spine.
Was it really as Jiang Chengjian had said, that he had to find a backer?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a voice of praise sounded in his ear.
"It's so lifelike and incomparable. It's even more amazing than a picture album.”
"500,000!"
