"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm the host of this auction, Ma Wei. Thank you to all the successful people of Jiangbei for coming to Sotheby's Jiangbei Auction.”
"In today's auction, we have a total of 20 items to be auctioned. After the auction ends, there will be a collection exchange meeting.”
"Today, we have the honor to invite the two old gentlemen, Su Shifang and Yuan Jili, who are famous for collecting and appreciating cultural relics in China. Today, the two elders also brought a lot of their own collections for everyone to appreciate in the exchange meeting.”
The auction officially began.
Tonight's auction was attended by many people from the business world, and even many wealthy businessmen from all over the country came.
Because…
Many people had received news that Elder Whitestone's authentic work would be auctioned off at today's auction.
Who was Elder Baishi? He was the most well-known person in modern times, and his works were the most widely circulated grandmaster of Chinese painting.
He was good at painting flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, rivers, and people. His brush and ink were vigorous and moist. The colors were rich and bright, the shapes were concise and vivid, and the artistic conception was pure and simple. His fish, shrimp, insects, and crabs were full of natural charm.
Elder Baishi's works were definitely the favorite collections of collectors.
Many people were here today for his work.
"Alright, our first auction item today has been brought up. This is a blue patterned Green Heavenly Venerate Jade Bottle from the Song Dynasty Ru kiln. It was produced by an official kiln. Everyone knows that the craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty Ru kiln can be said to be at the peak, especially things from the official kiln.”
“……”
The host, Ma Wei, introduced the jade vase in detail. To be able to be the host of an auction, one was not an ordinary person. He had to do his best to stir up the emotions of the guests.
Ma Wei had succeeded. The appearance of the Blue Patterned Green Heavenly Venerate Jade Vase from the Song Dynasty had aroused the interest of many people.
"The starting price is 5 million, and each bid must be no less than 100,000 yuan.”
As soon as the auction began, people started bidding.
"5.1 million."
"5.3 million."
"5.5 million."
"6 million."
Tang An wasn't very interested in this. To be exact, he wasn't very interested in antiques and cultural relics.
However,
Tang An came today to pick up the leftovers.
Because he knew that when the seventh auction item came up, that would be Tang An's target.
Because if nothing unexpected happened, he would pick up a big mistake today.
Moreover, even the main character, Xiao Ran, did not obtain this big leak in the original book. He only found out about it at the exchange meeting after the auction ended.
Jiang Yuruo, who was beside Tang An, had been silent ever since she heard what Tang An said.
He couldn't tell if she was happy or sad because she always had that cold look on her face.
What was Jiang Yuruo thinking at this moment?
She was thinking about what Tang An had just said.
"If you don't beg me, then no matter who it is, they won't be able to save you. I'll destroy whoever helps you. You'll never be able to escape from my grasp!”
These words were so domineering, so heartless, and so arrogant.
Jiang Yuruo was an ambitious woman with a lot of thoughts. A woman like her liked men who had the ability to conquer her.
In the past, although Tang An treated Jiang Yuruo very well, in her opinion, other than Tang An's good family background and handsome looks, there was nothing else that attracted her.
Not to mention making her, Jiang Yuruo, fall in love with him.
An arrogant woman needed an even more arrogant and powerful man to conquer her heart.
Obviously, that was the feeling Tang An gave her today.
Arrogant, cold, heartless, and arrogant!
"Could this be his true face? Was he pretending to face me in the past?”Jiang Yuruo was puzzled.
If that was the case, then Tang An was too terrifying.
However,
Compared to Tang An, who was submissive to her in the past, Jiang Yuruo had to admit that she liked the man now more.
Although she hated him and hated him for treating her and the Jiang family like this.
However, on the other hand, Jiang Yuruo began to develop a great interest in Tang An.
"Hmph…I don't believe that I, Jiang Yuruo, can't support the huge Jiang family without you, Tang An. If you can really make me yield, I'm willing to beg you.”
"Tang An…don't disappoint me.”
As she thought about it, Jiang Yuruo turned her head slightly. It was as if she was meeting Tang An for the first time. She was very curious about him.
She could not understand why a person's temperament and thoughts would change so much in just a few days.
Perhaps he felt Jiang Yuruo's gaze, Tang An tilted his head and looked over. Their eyes met, and there was no expression on their faces. They were equally indifferent as if they were strangers.
"Bang!"
The hammer fell.
"This Song Dynasty Ruyao Blue Patterned Green Heavenly Venerate Jade Vase has been won by Mr. 75. Congratulations, we will now proceed to the second auction item.”
……
Six items were auctioned off in a row. The lowest one was sold for more than six million yuan, which was the Ruyao jade vase.
The highest price was a chicken cup, which was auctioned for a sky-high price of 50 million.
The person who had taken the photo, to Tang An's surprise, was actually Lu Deman.
Looking at his happy expression, it seemed that this person really liked this chicken cup.
During this period, Tang An did not make a move because there was really nothing he liked.
Until the seventh auction item came up.
It was a painting.
"Everyone, this is a painting of Tang Bohu from the Ming Dynasty, the Painting of Spring Trees and Autumn Frost. However, I have to make it clear first because after our appraiser's appraisal, this painting may be fake or real.”
"The reason why this painting was put up for auction was that the owner of the painting strongly requested it because he wanted to know if this painting was authentic or fake.”
Ma Wei briefly introduced the background of the painting.
No matter how one looked at it, this painting looked like an authentic work of Tang Bohu. The only thing was that there was no signature on this painting, let alone Tang Bohu's own seal.
There were only two words at the end of the poem: Tang Yin.
The Painting of Spring Trees and Autumn Frost was a very famous painting by Tang Bohu. However, the original painting had never appeared, so many people guessed that this painting had already spread abroad, or perhaps it did not exist at all.
It was only when the owner of this painting happened to get this painting that he realized that it was actually Tang Bohu's Spring Tree Autumn Frost Painting. He was so happy that he immediately went to find a master in the country to verify its authenticity.
If it was authentic, it would be priceless.
Unfortunately, after being appraised by many masters in the country, this painting seemed to be real.
However, there was no evidence to prove that it was authentic.
The most direct point was that there was no seal of Tang Bohu.
The most important thing in appraising an ancient painting was to determine its authenticity from the artist's seal.
However, this painting did not have the most important seal, so no one could determine whether it was real or fake.
Therefore, the owner of the painting put it up for auction, hoping that someone would be able to solve this mystery.
"I've already explained the details to everyone. Because we don't know if it's real or fake, the starting price has been set at 2 million. We'll start the bidding now, and each bid must be no less than 100,000.”
Ma Wei announced the start of the auction, but no one participated in the bidding.
Two million wasn't a small amount, so no one dared to bet on it.
If it was real, then he must have picked up a big mistake. However, if it was fake, then it was not worth the two million.
P.S. I'm very sorry, everyone. Originally, we agreed to have six chapters today, but after the author woke up, he was forcefully dragged out by his friends for a drink and dinner. Even now, he still refuses to let me go. I guess there will be a bloody battle tonight.
I used my phone to code a chapter first. I'm sorry to inform everyone today that I'll start with three chapters first. Tomorrow, I'll continue to update six chapters as usual. The day after tomorrow, I'll directly update eight chapters at least. If there are more chapters, I'll update ten chapters. Then, it'll be about time.
Please don't hit me, because I was forced to go with my friends to look for Miss at night. Slurp…I really didn't want to. I really wanted to stay at home and write. You have to believe me.
