Chapter 59 After death, I can see some people more clearly
In the afternoon, Lin Wanqing called.
"Yang Yu, are you free now?"
"If you have any questions, just tell me directly." Li Tiandao.
"There is an auction this afternoon, and Li Tian's posthumous paintings are going to be auctioned. I plan to take a photo of it, but I don't know whether it is authentic or not. You and Li Tian are friends, so you must know his paintings better than me. So,
I would like to ask you to be my adviser." Lin Wanqing said.
"Well..."
Li Tian's eyes flickered.
His paintings were not auctioned during his lifetime, but he did send many paintings away, so it is not unusual for some of his paintings to be auctioned.
Li Tian is very interested in such activities, mainly because he also wants to know the value of his paintings in the market.
"Okay." Li Tian agreed.
Half an hour later, Li Tian arrived at the door of an auction in Jiangcheng.
At the door, he saw Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing wore a mask and sunglasses, obviously intending to conceal her identity.
Li Tian can understand.
After all, if others saw her with the notorious married man 'Yang Yu', it would probably set off a storm of public opinion again.
"Yang Yu, you're here." Lin Wanqing whispered.
Li Tian smiled: "You are wrapped like a rice dumpling."
"Don't laugh at me. The main reason is that you are a married man now. If someone sees it and then spreads it to your wife's ears, it is difficult to explain." Lin Wanqing said.
"I understand." Li Tian calmed down and said, "Let's go."
After entering the auction house, Li Tian and Lin Wanqing received a number and then found a seat to sit down.
There are a lot of things being auctioned today, including antique calligraphy and paintings.
Many of them are rare.
But Lin Wanqing was not interested at all.
She has only one goal, and that is auction item No. 23, a painting by Li Tian.
After staying up for half an hour, auction item No. 23 finally came on the market.
The host introduced: "Auction item No. 23 is a painting by the late Tianming Group Chairman Li Tian. Many people here may know that Chairman Li Tian is an all-around genius, especially in ink painting and painting.
The technique is quite exquisite. Many professors from the Jiangnan Academy of Fine Arts have collected Li Tian’s paintings. Okay, without further ado, let’s start bidding. The starting price is 100 yuan, so you can get it if the price is high.”
Li Tian's face turned dark at that time.
"The starting price is 100 yuan..."
Picasso painted most of his paintings during his lifetime, but he was poor. However, after his death, his paintings frequently set world auction records.
Li Tianyuan thought that after he hung them up, the value of his paintings would increase a lot.
But looking at it now, I think too much.
It's more like taking a walk to cool down the tea.
He looked at the painting in the display case.
He remembered that he gave this to a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts.
At that time, he wildly praised his painting for its good painting, strong artistry and high value. He wanted to collect it as a family heirloom.
But he never expected that just half a month after his death, this 'family heirloom' would appear at the auction.
"well."
Li Tian sighed lightly.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to see more people clearly after I died."
Lin Wanqing next to her didn't pay attention to Li Tian's reaction.
Ever since auction item No. 23 was put up, she had been in a state of excitement.
Li Tian's expression was subtle.
I never expected that the person who liked me the most in the world was Lin Wanqing.
this...
However, she didn't wait for the price.
Suddenly someone held a sign and said: "1 million."
The crowd was in an uproar.
From the starting price of 100, the bid went directly to 1 million.
This is too crazy.
Although Li Tian's paintings are good, he is just a businessman after all, not even a painter.
When he was alive, there might be people who would support him and offer a high price.
But it's only a few hundred thousand at most.
Amazing.
But now, Li Tianren is gone, and someone is asking for 1 million.
"Is that woman crazy?"
The woman bidding was also 'fully armed' and wrapped herself up tightly.
Moreover, the voice seems to be in falsetto.
Lin Wanqing did not expect that Cheng Yaojin would be killed with a sword.
She was not timid at all.
Just raise your sign.
"Two million!"
Hiss~
Even Li Tian took a breath.
Even he thought the price of two million was a bit exaggerated.
However, the other party had no intention of giving up.
"Three million!" the other party said.
The whole place was boiling.
Everyone knows that the value of this painting has seriously exceeded its value.
But many people come to the auction just for the atmosphere.
This is the atmosphere now.
The auction atmosphere, which had always been dull, was heated up by a posthumous painting by Li Tian, which was also unexpected.
Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth: "Five million!"
"Eight million!"
The other party didn't know whether he really liked Li Tian's painting or simply wanted to fight Lin Wanqing, so he directly asked for eight million.
Li Tian wiped his cold sweat.
It's crazy.
Lin Wanqing was also angered: "One thousand..."
Before Lin Wanqing could say the word "ten thousand", Li Tian covered her mouth.
"What are you doing?" Lin Wanqing said angrily.
"I remembered that the painting was a fake, and Li Tian's original painting is in his studio." Li Tiandao.
Li Tian is very happy that his paintings have been promoted so highly.
But when he thought that the money would end up in the hands of a heartless person, Li Tian couldn't be happy anymore.
According to the rules of the auction, except for the handling fee deducted by the auction house, the rest of the auction money must be given to the owner of the auction item.
Although this painting was painted by Li Tian, he had already given it to others.
The painting rights belong to someone else, and the profits also belong to the other person.
Lin Wanqing was stunned when she heard what Li Tian said, and then said with a black line on her face: "How many paintings of Li Tian have you saved?"
Li Tian sweated slightly: "It's really gone. Otherwise, I'll give you the authentic copy of Li Tian's painting."
"How much do you want?" Lin Wanqing asked.
Li Tian smiled: "I'll give it to you."
"Is there any trap in this?"
"I have reached a loan agreement with your father, and you have contributed to it," Li Tiandao said.
Although Lin Wanqing was still a little skeptical, she finally nodded: "Okay."
And on the other side.
After Lin Wanqing stopped bidding, the painting finally fell into the hands of another woman for 8 million.
Li Tian glanced at the other party with a confused expression.
"Who is it? You are actually willing to spend eight million to buy your own painting."
Because the other party was wrapped so tightly, Li Tian couldn't recognize who the other party was.
At this time, Lin Wanqing took Li Tian and walked outside.
"What are you doing?" Li Tiandao said.
"Go to Li Tian's studio to get paintings." Lin Wanqing said.
"Uh... not now, I have something to do. Tomorrow, I will bring the painting to you tomorrow." Li Tiandao.
"Oh well."
"Then I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying goodbye to Lin Wanqing, Li Tian went directly to his studio and began to repaint the painting at the auction.
This painting lasted until late at night.
"knock off!"
Li Tian wiped his sweat and looked at the painting in front of him, quite satisfied.
This time he repainted it, and he felt it was even better than the version at the auction.
Of course, both versions are authentic.
I looked at the time.
"Damn it, it's already early in the morning."
Li Tian had a headache when he thought of something.
"I forgot to say hello to Chu Xinyue."
After a while, Li Tian shook his head.
"Forget it, that's it. Let's apologize again when we go back."
He gathered his emotions and opened the studio door.
But a beautiful figure not far from the door really stunned him.
