If it was someone else bidding, even if it was Jiang Chengjian himself, Lin Xi wouldn't be surprised.
Jiang Yuqing was the only one who puzzled him.
After recovering from her shock, Lin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry." If I knew you liked jade bracelets, I would have changed to jade bracelets.”
Jiang Yuqing was taken aback." What do you mean by a jade bracelet?”
"Yuqing, you little fool."
Seeing Jiang Yuqing's puzzled expression, Liu Xiaoning smiled and said," You still don't know, do you? When I came to the auction just now, Lin Xi told me secretly that he had carved three pieces of jade in preparation for the auction. One of them is for you."
"It just so happens that your 20th birthday is next month. I asked him to treat the jade carving as a birthday present, so I didn't give it to you in advance.”
Jiang Yuqing was pleasantly surprised, but also a little embarrassed.
The price was secondary, the key was that he really liked it.
After all, with Lin Xi's sculpting skills, even people with no artistic vision would like it very much.
"Lin Xi, the glass-type jade is too expensive. I'll buy it!”
As he spoke, he took out his bank card and handed it over.
"There's six million here, it's all my savings.”
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoning said disapprovingly,""To some people, jade carvings may be very valuable, but that definitely doesn't include Lin Xi. He had a one-foot-square glass type, which was a drop in the ocean. As for carving, it would only take a few minutes.”
"Xiaoning's right. There's no need to be pretentious between family members. If you really want to thank me, come over and cook for me after we move!”
Lin Xi smiled.
He took out a jade carving from his pocket and threw it to Jiang Yuqing.
Jiang Yuqing caught it carefully.
When he looked over, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
Unlike the spider that she had given Liu Xiaoning, Jiang Yuqing's one had a small foot.
It meant that contentment was bliss.
Her delicate toes, even her fingernails the size of rice grains, were clearly visible.
"This is too exquisite."
Jiang Yuqing was so fascinated by the scene that she almost forgot everything around her.
"Yuqing, did your grandfather ever tell you about Feng Shui artifacts?”
Lin Xi looked around and whispered into Jiang Yuqing's ear.
His breath hit Jiang Yuqing's ears, and her cheeks and ears turned red.
She was too embarrassed to hear what Lin Xi said.
Lin Xi was speechless.
He was about to explain when Liu Xiaoning grabbed his arm.
Liu Xiaoning pointed at the auction stage excitedly.
"Look, someone bid 10 million.”
"Ten million?"
Lin Xi was stunned and looked over.
As expected, the auctioneer raised his hammer and shouted,"Ten million, ten million. Guest number 15 has bid ten million. Is there a higher bid?”
"Number 15?"
He looked around.
Guest number 15 was a woman wearing sunglasses.
From the side profile, the woman was extremely beautiful, not inferior to Liu Xiaoning and Jiang Yuqing.
And unlike the two young girls, the woman was like a ripe peach, more attractive.
"I've participated in so many modern art auctions. This is an eye-opener. 10 million? Tsk tsk, this was not an antique, but a modern sculpture. It was simply unbelievable!”
"That's right! The most important thing was that the sculptor, Lin Xi, was still alive and very young. There were still many years before his death. To be able to sculpt a work of tens of millions at such a young age, his future was simply boundless!”
"I'm afraid this is only the beginning. In the future, Lin Xi's sculptures might be auctioned off at a starting price of ten million.”
“……”
At this moment, facing a ten-million-level bid, no one cared about the million-dollar material fee.
The obvious problem was that the bidding price was ten times higher than the cost of the materials. It had little to do with the materials.
To be able to reach this level, and the sculptor was unknown, at least 90% of the contribution came from the artistic value of the work itself.
The young artists who were also participating in the auction were already dumbfounded and no longer had a trace of jealousy.
If the gap was too big, jealousy would be useless. It would only make others despise him.
" 10 million going twice, 10 million…"
"10.1 million."
The girl's godfather was quite awesome.
Facing the girl's affectionate gaze, he gritted his teeth and added another 100,000.
Xing Li twisted her arm fiercely." 10.5 million.”
"11 million."
The woman in sunglasses number 16 opened her mouth slightly and continued to raise the price.
It showed that he was determined to get the jade bracelet.
"Godfather, I want it!" The young girl begged.
"Good, good, good."
The middle-aged man stood up and said in a deep voice," 13 million.”
Boom!
The woman in sunglasses took a deep breath and frowned when she heard the price.
This price was clearly much higher than what she had expected.
In fact, at the beginning, she only wanted to pay about 8 million yuan.
Unfortunately, there were too many women at the scene and the competition was too intense. There was no chance of getting 8 million.
Of course, the perfection of the jade bracelet was far beyond her expectations, which made her increase her budget.
Otherwise, as a host known for her beauty and calmness, she would never have followed him until now.
"This is the last time. If it still doesn't work, then forget it!”
With this thought in mind, the woman also stood up.
"15 million."
Hearing this bid, the discussions instantly disappeared, and the sound of a pin drop could be heard.
Only the host shouted excitedly.
"15 million, are there any higher bids?”
"15 million going once."
"15 million going twice."
“……”
"Congratulations to guest number 16."
The auctioneer pointed at the woman excitedly.
At this moment, the woman blinked and completely regained her calm.
"15 million? Oh my god, I'm really crazy!"
She couldn't help but look at Lin Xi, her eyes burning with a fiery light.
"It's all this bastard's fault. He made me lose my pocket money!”
