"Yeah, I haven't heard of it either. I'm afraid Mr. Jiang is mistaken."
"I guess I heard the wrong person's name. Alas, this is a loss of more than one million yuan."
Everyone was talking, but no one believed Jiang Zhihao's words.
Huang Meimei and Zhou Muhe also heard the discussions of these people. Knowing that Jiang Zhihao might lose more than one million, Zhou Muhe suddenly showed a somewhat anxious expression.
After all, Jiang Zhihao had rescued her from danger not long ago. Zhou Muhe naturally did not want his benefactor to suffer.
Huang Meimei said from the side: "Rich people are really awesome. They spent more than two million to buy a painting and then lost half of it as soon as they got it. It's so scary."
"He is too unreliable. He doesn't know how to pretend to understand. Why would he buy this thing when he has nothing to do?" Zhou Muhe curled his lips and said.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Jiang Zhihao smiled lightly and said: "If you can say this, you obviously don't really understand Zhang Daqian. If anyone has seen "Art Life" in 1935, they will understand what I mean.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, the auction host shouted: "The next collection is "Art Life" in 1935. It was first published in 34 years and stopped in 37 years. A total of 41 issues were published, which is out of print.
The old picture album is of great commemorative value. The starting price is not high, 100,000 yuan, please bid.”
Many people looked at it in surprise, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Zhihao was also quite surprised. In his memory, "Art Life" from 1935 appeared at Duo Yunxuan's auction two years later. He did not expect to encounter it here in advance.
It seems that this old book has been auctioned many times before.
Ji Zimo immediately raised his hand: "One hundred thousand!"
A few people hesitated and finally chose to let go.
They were somewhat interested in this old book, but their interest was not so great that they had to compete with Ji Zimo.
Besides, Ji Zimo wanted to clear Jiang Zhihao's name at first glance, so why bother to get into trouble with others.
As a result, this old book was finally bought by Ji Zimo for 100,000 yuan.
After getting the album, Ji Zimo couldn't wait to open it while everyone was watching.
After turning a few pages, they saw a familiar painting on it.
"The Goddess Scattering Flowers" turned out to be really the work of Zhang Daqian, but due to some reasons, it was only published in this illustrated magazine "Art Life".
Because "Art Life" ceased publication in 1937, it was not well-known, so not many people knew about it.
Everyone fell silent when they saw the author of this painting clearly written on the magazine.
Zhang Daqian's paintings have become world-famous. Many people who like calligraphy and painting can recite all his paintings.
The most expensive painting he ever auctioned was "Taoyuan Tu", which sold for an astonishing price of 220 million.
Of course, those prices were only available many years later. In this era, the highest price should be "Song Dynasty Mountain Temple Picture", which cost 43 million yuan.
And this "Tiannu Scattering Flowers" is the only brand-new painting that can be found so far. This gimmick alone is very attractive. Even if the price is more expensive than "Song Dynasty Mountain Temple Picture", it is not surprising.
Jiang Zhihao said before that it could be sold for more than 60 million, which is very reasonable.
