It was only 320,000 before, but it suddenly increased to 180,000, which is more than half.
The base price of this painting was only 250,000 yuan. Li Yang's price increase directly doubled the base price. No wonder Bai Ming and the others around them all looked at him. Even Dean Huang's eyes looked a little...
Don't understand.
Dean Huang subconsciously looked back at the painting on the big screen.
This painting is indeed good and very well done, but after all it is just an imitation, and Geer's reputation is not world-class and cannot be compared with Leiden and others.
For such a painting, the price increase is so much all at once, and it feels like it’s not worth it.
"Five hundred thousand euros, a friend offered half a million euros..."
Grand's excited voice rang out again. Everything could be sold at a high price, and it was his favorite thing to have strong competition for everything.
Now that someone suddenly bids such a high price, it means that this person is determined to win the painting. If there is another person who is also determined to win, it will be a rare bidding war.
This kind of thing is what auctioneers like the most.
"With half a million, I can invite Mona Lisa to come home and look at you with a smile every day. This is one of the most imitated works!"
Grand said with a smile and started counting down: "The first time for half a million..."
"Fifty-one million!"
Before he finished speaking, the price went up. Although it only increased by a small 10,000, it proved that someone was taking action to compete with the person just now.
As long as there is competition, Grand's efforts will not be in vain.
Li Yang's brows twitched. The big auction does not disclose the auction items every day, and it also does not disclose the identity of each guest, even the number is not included.
In this way, it will be difficult for the enemy to increase the price of grudges, but the order will be more stable.
The biggest requirement for an auction with so many people participating is stability, but this puts even greater demands on the auctioneer.
"Add, 520,000!"
Li Yang did not hesitate and gave the order directly, and the beautiful woman behind him immediately sent the latest price.
Li Yang runs an auction company and is very clear about the psychology of bidding. He previously pointed out that the reason why he raised the price so much all at once was to scare away some people so that he could understand the people who were really interested in the painting.
At this point, it seems that the effect is pretty good. Some people have increased the price, but the increase is not high, which proves that the other party is not particularly motivated.
Even if the other party is careful, he will take down the painting.
"Five hundred and thirty thousand!"
Not long after, the big screen changed again. Since there was no number, Li Yang didn't know whether a new person came to compete or the same person just now.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!" Li Yang did not hesitate and directly added 20,000 this time.
Li Yang has had many experiences with this type of auction, and he is in a very calm mood. Besides, 550,000 euros is only more than 5 million yuan, and many of the auctions in Myanmar's public auctions cost hundreds of millions of yuan.
as unit.
"Six hundred thousand!"
The screen changed again, and Li Yang frowned slightly. He increased the price by 20,000 yuan, but the other party increased the price by 50,000 yuan. The other party either directly reached the psychological price, increased the price to scare him away, or planned to fight for it.
The front is fine, but if it's the back, it might take a lot of effort to get this painting.
"Add, six hundred and fifty thousand!"
Six hundred and fifty thousand, which is 150,000 more than half a million, and these 150,000 are euros, which means that in such a short period of time, Li Yang paid an additional price of about 1.5 million yuan.
This amount of money can buy a nice house in an ordinary city.
On the other side of Li Yang, a person in an ordinary private room sighed softly, then shook his head,
This person is the one who has been competing with Li Yang for this painting. He is a Frenchman. Geer is one of his favorite painters. This time he met Geer's painting and wanted to win it.
His psychological price was only 500,000, and later he temporarily increased it, but after it exceeded Ghost Mighty's 650,000, it completely exceeded his bottom line, and he had no choice but to give up.
The price of Geer's paintings is too high.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand, deal!"
Auctioneer Grand's words finally made Li Yang feel a little relieved. He bought the painting, and after he paid the money, the painting officially belonged to him.
"Li Yang, this painting is not worth it!"
After hesitating for a moment, Dean Huang said softly that his attitude towards Li Yang was different now from before, and naturally he didn't want to see Li Yang spend his money unnecessarily.
"What Dean Huang said makes sense. This painting costs 400,000 yuan, but it doesn't matter if you like it!"
Lin Lang also said something, and looked at Li Yang curiously while speaking.
He knew Li Yang fairly well. Li Yang seldom or even never did things like spending money for no reason. Generally speaking, things that Li Yang liked and insisted on buying would bring some surprises.
It's just that this painting doesn't look like a surprise.
Unless it is the one painted by Leonardo da Vinci, that would be a real big surprise.
Lin Lang only thought about this idea for a moment, and then he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Everyone knew that Leonardo da Vinci's painting was collected in the Louvre, and no other imitation of it could compare with this one.
Compare.
There are many imitations of "Mona Lisa Smile", and there have been dozens of them claiming to be authentic at the same time.
"I like this painting very much!"
Li Yang nodded gently. After the competition, his mood became calmer, but occasionally he still felt a little uncontrollably excited.
"Moreover, I had a very special feeling after seeing this painting, which made me strongly want to buy it!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Yang added another sentence.
This painting is definitely not by Guerre. Guerre was a French painter at the end of the 19th century, but the time when this painting took shape was from the end of the 14th century to the beginning of the 15th century.
There was a gap of hundreds of years in between.
But this is not the point. The most important thing is that after this painting appeared in the three-dimensional picture, Li Yang felt the same feeling in it as in "The Last Supper".
Even more intense and clear than "The Last Supper".
Mona Lisa in the painting has a different feeling from every angle. No matter which angle she places it, she can feel her beautiful and warm smile. In the three-dimensional picture, Li Yang even feels that the woman in front of him is looking down on him.
Blinking lightly.
This is absolutely a magical work.
The same feeling as "The Last Supper" also made Li Yang wonder whether this painting could be an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci.
It's just that this idea is so bold that even Li Yang doesn't dare to think about it, but it doesn't affect his determination to win this painting. Just looking at time and this magical effect, 650,000 is a great value.
Li Yang wouldn't hesitate for 6.5 million or 65 million.
"Is it the same feeling you had when you saw that cabinet when we were in Seoul?"
Lin Lang asked anxiously. He had witnessed Li Yang's magical telepathy with his own eyes. He could find a Silla sword in a cheap wooden cabinet. But this time he bought such an expensive oil painting.
I don’t know what else will happen.
Thinking of this, Lin Lang became a little excited, and he was more eager to get the painting than Li Yang.
"It's that feeling, but it's stronger than that time!"
Li Yang smiled, this statement has become his best excuse, and it has become an inevitable excuse.
It's an excuse that no one else even suspects. It's a good excuse. It can't be explained anyway. It just covers up the fact that he has special abilities.
"Really, that's great. Pay the money, pay the money right away, and have this painting delivered to us right away!"
Lin Lang stood up, and after finishing speaking, he said a few words in English, and a beautiful blonde girl came over immediately.
When Lin Lang and Li Yang usually communicate, they always use Chinese, which these blonde beauties cannot understand.
Li Yang was astonished and wrote out a check, and the beautiful woman immediately took the check and went out. It wasn't until he left Li Yang that he realized that the guest in the private room had the privilege of taking back the auction items at any time.
Unlike people in the lobby, they have to wait until the auction is over before they can pay to receive it.
In less than half an hour, after Grand had bid on several other items, the door to the private room was opened again, and the blonde beauty who had just left came in with two young boys.
The two young men were carrying a box and carefully placed it on the ground. Then they bowed and respectfully stepped out.
What they sent was the painting that Li Yang had just bid for.
"Li Yang, open it quickly and take a look!"
Lin Lang said something hastily, and Li Yang shook his head helplessly, walked over and opened the box directly.
A tightly wrapped and well-protected oil painting appeared inside. Li Yang carefully took out the painting and slowly placed it on the back of the sofa.
"You all go out first, let's enjoy this work together!"
Lin Lang suddenly said something, and there were many blond beauties serving them in the room. After hearing this, these beauties were stunned for a moment, but they all hurriedly walked out.
Here, the guests are God, and they will agree to any request.
They don't do what the guests say. Once they are complained, an extremely tragic end awaits them. Especially for guests in top private rooms, their words can be said to be imperial edicts.
So at Lin Lang's request, no one else was left in the private room, leaving only themselves.
Li Yang nodded lightly. With these people here, even if this painting was really weird, Li Yang couldn't reveal it in front of them.
This is Italy, a foreign country, so you have to be careful in everything you do.
"Li Yang, isn't there another painting sandwiched between this painting?"
As soon as those people left, Bai Ming immediately asked. His words made Li Yang freeze for a moment.
Is there another painting sandwiched between it? Qian Bai Ming thought that this painting was the same as "The Last Supper", that there was another work hidden inside.
"I don't know about this, but there are so many pictures within pictures. I don't think there is anything hidden in them!"
Li Yang smiled and shook his head. Hiding a painting within a painting is extremely difficult. It is a great luck to encounter it once. And this painting does not have any interlayer in it.
