Luo Tian went back alone. He originally thought that Cheng Zhen would go back with him, but she didn't expect that she stayed. The reason was that the follow-up matters were not finished yet. What the follow-up matters were had nothing to do with Luo Tian. It was their family's business anyway.
.
After returning home, the first thing Luo Tian wanted to find was Ling Xiaoxiao. The hyacinth necklace was mass-produced, divided into red and blue. It happened that the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce could provide good quality rubies and sapphires, which could guarantee the production. Ling Xiaoxiao was naturally happy. He designed it himself.
The new product is about to be mass-produced again: "By the way, boss, how is your friend?"
"Very good. Didn't you read the newspaper?"
"newspaper?"
"Yes, the wedding of the daughter of Asia's richest man's successor has been covered in newspapers, isn't it?" Luo Tian joked: "Don't just immerse yourself in planning in the future, or you will become stupid."
"No, boss, when will you even..." Ling Xiaoxiao didn't finish what he said, because Luo Tian had already left. He was now going to attend the auction of pictures of ladies. Normally the client would not show up at the venue, but he
Enjoying the privilege, when I arrived at the auction venue, the auction was about to begin. Today was a special session of ancient calligraphy and painting. Luo Tian's painting of a lady was naturally the highlight.
Luo Tian sat down next to Xie Ming: "There are so many people here today."
"It has your name." Xie Ming smiled slyly, "And the picture of ladies is very famous. In my opinion, many people came here for it today, and the battle today will still be fierce."
"How many times have it been less intense?" Luo Tian said with a smile, "It feels much better to sit here and watch the battle."
The auction was about to begin. As soon as today's No. 1 lot was revealed, Luo Tian's eyes lit up: "This is Emperor Yongzheng's calligraphy!"
Xie Ming nodded: "Yes, the client claims to be a descendant of the Eight Banners. I don't know whether it is true or not, but this calligraphy work is definitely the work of Emperor Yongzheng."
Yongzheng was a unique emperor. His outstanding talents, strong character, and legendary political career are all amazing. The most well-known is his legendary period of seizing the throne. People pay more attention to Yongzheng's political achievements.
However, there are very few comments about his artistic accomplishments and achievements. Yongzheng received strict Chinese cultural education from an early age, and his calligraphy followed his father's footsteps, following the smooth and beautiful path of Dong Qichang. His calligraphy was elegant, powerful, and magnificent, and the emperor wanted to surpass the powerful.
spirit.
"Yangshan Mountain in the south of Yuanzhou City is a county town. It is hundreds of miles around and has thousands of walls standing on it. You can look up at it but not climb it, so it is named. There is a snow valley and pool water on it, which is extremely cold. Panlong Mountain rises from bottom to top.
Sixteen songs, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, with flying springs hanging straight down like a hanging horse, and the Longmen Pavilion in front, which is especially a scenic spot on the mountain." Luo Tian read the above words sentence by sentence, and when he went to the back, he saw two seals -
One is the treasure of Prince Yong and the other is the seal of Yin Zhen.
"Prince? It seems that Yongzheng had not yet ascended the throne when he painted this painting. It should be a work when he was a prince. The content is about mountains and rivers geography, which has nothing to do with national affairs. But as a prince, he must also accept the work of national geography.
The accumulation of knowledge is consistent with his status at that time." Luo Tian said in a low voice.
Almost at the same time, He Pingwei on the stage had finished introducing the background of this calligraphy, and the bidding officially began, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan. It must be said that Chinese people have an inexplicable complex with royal works, which can be said to be servile.
To put it nicely, it means that now that feudalism has been abolished and there is no such thing as an emperor, everyone wants something that is rare and valuable.
The bidding was very fierce from the beginning, and the price suddenly rose from 200,000 to 360,000. Luo Tian turned around and saw that the people who frequently bid were all bosses. Xie Ming noticed Luo Tian's eyes and explained: "
They are all fake collectors. They are not really knowledgeable, but they are rich. This is true."
Yes, I photographed it and hung it in the office. When someone came, I introduced him and said, "This is Kangxi's masterpiece. Guaiguai. That's great. If you save it for a few years and take it out again, the value will double. The face value is the same."
error.
"How many do I think we can take?" Xie Ming asked.
"Six hundred thousand." After Luo Tian said that, he immediately gave up his position: "But we don't care. It depends on what the bidders think and how much they think is worthy of the value of this emperor's calligraphy work. We only have
Just wait and see." As a shareholder of an auction company, it is natural to hope that the auction will go higher and higher. There is never the highest, only higher.
"Five hundred and eighty thousand!" The price has reached the critical point of 600,000 that Luo Tian said. Luo Tian and Xie Ming looked at each other. It seems that there is no problem in breaking through 600,000.
He Pingwei, who was wearing white gloves on the stage, was even more confident: "Five hundred and eighty thousand! What would Emperor Kangxi think if he were alive? Five hundred and eighty thousand, bidder No. 3, there is someone higher than five hundred and eighty thousand."
The price?”
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!" No. 18 raised his number plate.
It was a very good price. What Luo Tian didn't expect was that there was still someone who didn't give up: "Six hundred and sixty thousand!" plus ten thousand. This was bidder No. 24, a woman who looked very knowledgeable.
He looks good and has a good temperament. Correspondingly, he is not young, at least forty years old.
The small increase of 10,000 was a big blow to the bidder No. 18. He added 70,000 in one breath, but the latter only added 10,000. How could he swallow this breath? If it was Luo Tian,
Maybe it was just a small plus of 10,000, but this owner was a wealthy owner. He held up the number plate and said: "Eight hundred thousand!"
The whole place roared. Some were surprised, some were hesitant, and some were confused. Luo Tian nodded: "It's almost a sure win..."
This time he miscalculated, "810,000!" It was the same lady, so persevering that she still added ten thousand less.
Looking at the rich man again, he seemed a little hesitant. He raised the bidding price by 150,000 yuan. To increase it or not to increase it, this was really a difficult problem. Time passed by second by second. He Pingwei made a timely decision.
He started to speak: "Eight hundred and ten thousand, wow, we have a good start today. For eight hundred and ten thousand, we bought the calligraphy of Emperor Yongzheng. If there is no higher price, the calligraphy of Emperor Yongzheng will go to the 24th bidder...
…”
Before He Pingwei finished speaking, the rich man raised his card again. This time, he followed suit: "Eighty-two thousand!"
The scene suddenly became quiet. A calligraphy work that I originally thought would be trouble-free has suddenly changed. Who will win it has become unknown. Now it is a competition between No. 18 and No. 24.
"Eight hundred and thirty thousand!" The dignified lady on the 24th raised the number plate in a leisurely manner, while the 18th number cursed and stopped raising the number plate.
"Bang", He Pingwei made the final decision: "Congratulations to the lady on the 24th for winning the Yongzheng calligraphy painting!"
