"The starting bid for this auction is 20 million!”
The auctioneer said with a smile.
If it was before, no one would have paid attention to her if she had said such a price.
After all, Elder Sun had just said that this painting was incomplete. But now, it was different. This ancient painting had poems in it, and they were all authentic works. Moreover, it was Zheng Banqiao's peak work. However, Zheng Banqiao's good stories from the past or those stories from a hundred years ago were enough to raise the level of this painting.
"I bid 25 million!"
"I bid 30 million!"
"I bid 33 million!"
For a moment, the bosses in the huge auction hall shouted one after another.
It couldn't be helped. This was a rare authentic Banqiao, and the market demand was extremely strong. Moreover, there was probably only one piece of Zheng Banqiao's posthumous work that existed in this form.
In other words, the value of this painting in the future would be immeasurable!
Not long after, this Bamboo Stone Orchid Painting was finally sold for 52 million, and it was obtained by a boss named Wang.
"My old master has always liked Zheng Banqiao's paintings. In a few months, it will be his 79th birthday. Previously, I thought it was an incomplete piece, so I didn't bid for it. Now that it's a complete and authentic piece, I'll buy it no matter how much I have to pay!”
Boss Wang laughed heartily and held Shi Feng's hand warmly.
"Mr. Shi, you really have a keen eye. If it weren't for you, this painting would have been forgotten by the world!”
Shi Feng smiled." No, no, it's just a coincidence!”
Coincidence?
The surrounding bosses shook their heads helplessly. This painting could even fool the eyes of Old Mr. Sun Jiankun. If he didn't have any ability, it wouldn't be so coincidental!
Moreover, when they thought about how Shi Feng had earned more than 30 million with a flip of his hand, many bosses were envious.
This young man's ruthlessness and accuracy were simply out of reach!
In the end, under everyone's envious gazes, Shi Feng and Boss Wang completed the transaction and paid a portion of the auction house's handling fees and taxes. He also returned 16 million to Jiang Yuan. In the end, Shi Feng earned a net profit of 30 million!
"Mr. Shi is indeed extraordinary. Today, I, Jiang Yuan, have really opened my eyes!”
Jiang Yuan did not have any information about the 16 million he had received.
Even if he had earned a million in the past half an hour, which was more than what he had earned from selling so many stones, he could not be happy because this million was nothing compared to Shi Feng's 30 million!
Sun Jiankun also walked over with a smile and held Shi Feng's hand.
"Brother Shi Feng, I see that you are quite accomplished in antiques and famous paintings.”
Sun Jiankun had studied these things for his entire life. He knew almost all the relevant practitioners in China.
Generally speaking, those who could have such knowledge were the descendants of aristocratic families. Otherwise, they would not have had such a deep foundation to cultivate such insight, so he could not help but be curious.
She had thought about it for a long time, but she could not think of which prestigious family Shi Feng came from.
"No, no, I'm just…a hobby!”
Shi Feng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. If it was not for the system notification, how would he know so much?
"Uh…since it's inconvenient to say, I won't ask, haha!”
The more Shi Feng behaved like this, the more Sun Jian Kun felt that Shi Feng was more low-key, and the more he liked Shi Feng. Sun Jian Kun smiled and said,
"How about this? We have an antique research association in Cangzhou. I wonder if Mr. Shi would mind joining us? To contribute to the ancient wealth of Huaxia?”
"Ah?"
Shi Feng was shocked by these words.
He had only come here to earn some money to play, so he didn't think too much.
"I'm just playing around, and I'm usually busy…"
Shi Feng wanted to find an excuse to refuse. He did not want to stay with those old men all day.
" Haha, it's like this. As for the Antique Association, we're always informed of the latest developments in the antique markets. Additionally, once there's a new treasure, we'll be informed immediately and have the priority..."
Sun Jiankun stroked his beard and smiled.
"Of course, joining the association is not a big deal. We only have a meeting once a year. The rest of the time is free!”
"If that's the case…then it would be impolite to refuse. Haha."
When Shi Feng heard this, how could he refuse?
After leaving his contact information with Sun Jiankun, Shi Feng left the auction house under everyone's envious gazes.
He originally wanted to earn a few million yuan in the antique market and then go home. Who would have thought that in such a short time, he had already earned more than 30 million yuan.
Boss Jiang Yuan also came over.
"Mr. Shi, there's another game at the Sea-viewing Tower tonight. I wonder if…you're free?”
"Sea-viewing Tower?"
Shi Feng blinked his eyes. He had heard of the Sea-viewing Tower before. It was a very high-class place in Cang Prefecture. It seemed that only a special invitation could enter.
If today's antique market was said to be an entertainment activity for the rich and powerful in Cangzhou. The Sea-viewing Tower was the gathering place for all the tycoons in China.
There were all kinds of people in there, but the profit margin was huge.
Shi Feng blinked his eyes, thinking that the thirty million that he had just earned was probably not enough to squander inside, right?
"That's right. I heard that tonight's event will be a big event with a value of more than ten million yuan. I happen to have an invitation card, but I'm not sure. Mr. Shi, do you want to play with me?”
Jiang Yuan chuckled.
In the past, Jiang Yuan would only go over to watch such a high-level event to broaden his horizons. He did not have the courage to participate at all.
However, after seeing Shi Feng's ability today, he suddenly felt a little itchy.
"Let's play one round. If we lose, it's on me. If we win, we'll split it equally.”
Seeing Shi Feng hesitate, Jiang Yuan continued to bewitch him.
"In that case, I can't refuse your kindness!”
Shi Feng was tempted when he heard this. Sea-viewing Tower was such a mysterious place. Even if he did not earn money, it was not bad to broaden his horizons.
"Alright!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan was overjoyed. He immediately brought Shi Feng to the nearby Seaview Villa to have a feast.
During the banquet, Jiang Yuan talked about many strange things in Cangzhou. Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to induce him, he could not find out Shi Feng's background.
On the other hand, Shi Feng roughly understood the background of Sea-viewing Tower through Jiang Yuan's introduction.
The famous Sea-viewing Tower in Cangzhou was jointly established by several large families in Cangzhou. It adopted a membership system.
Those who could enter the Sea-viewing Tower generally needed an asset assessment and three acquaintances to introduce them before they could view and buy them.
Of course, every member who entered the Sea-viewing Tower had the right to bring a friend in.
Moreover, there was a strict time limit for membership. Every two years, they had to pay a new fee. Otherwise, they would not be allowed to enter the Sea-viewing Tower!
The membership fee of Sea-viewing Tower was as high as 200,000 yuan a year. It was not something that ordinary people could afford.
The reason why Jiang Yuan joined Sea-viewing Tower was that he wanted to use this opportunity to get to know more tycoons and increase his network.
