Chapter 187 The painting appears, He Jincheng raises a placard to bid
"It turns out to be this big boss, no wonder!"
He Jincheng said with a smile.
"Eight thousand!"
There were actually people who continued to bid, and they were challenging Shi Changfeng.
At this time, the entire venue was excited, and everyone looked around to see who was competing with Shi Changfeng.
"Eight thousand and five!"
Shi Changfeng frowned and bid again.
This price has almost reached his bottom line.
Although he loves Qi Baishi's paintings very much, he can't afford them if the price is too high.
It is true that he has tens of millions of assets, but most of them have been occupied.
The funds that can actually be put up for auction are only over one million at most.
He came here with a goal today, and Shi Changfeng felt a little distressed after spending so much money on this painting.
"Nine thousand and five thousand! Shi Laosan, this is my last bid. If you are higher than me, just take it!"
A fat man smiled and pushed open the window of the box, sticking his head out to look at Shi Changfeng.
"Ma Laoqi, you did it on purpose, didn't you? Knowing that I like Qi Baishi's paintings, you went up in price!"
When Shi Changfeng saw Fatty, he immediately became furious.
Ma Laoqi and he were mortal enemies. Not only did they have conflicts in business, but they also repeatedly opposed him at auctions.
"Haha, everyone just depends on their abilities. If you, Shi Laosan, don't want to buy it, you don't have to buy it. For ninety-five thousand, I'll buy it back and use it as toilet paper!"
Ma Laoqi chuckled.
Hearing this, everyone frowned, thinking that this Ma Laoqi was too vulgar.
This is Qi Baishi's painting, and it's actually being used as toilet paper. A disgusting person shouldn't be so disgusting.
Of course, Ma Laoqi would not really regard more than nine thousand paintings as toilet paper. He said this just to disgust Shi Changfeng.
"Asshole, Ma Laoqi, you are such a bastard. I'll give you 10,000 yuan. If you have the guts, you can give me more!"
Shi Changfeng was furious.
He usually admires Qi Baishi's paintings the most, and it is no exaggeration to say that Qi Baishi is his idol.
When Ma Laoqi insulted Qi Baishi's paintings, he was insulting his idol. Of course Shi Changfeng was angry.
"Haha, ten thousand and five hundred! Shi Laosan, if you are more polite, I really won't increase the price. Who told you to owe it!"
Ma Laoqi laughed and added five hundred yuan.
Shi Changfeng's nose was almost crooked with anger. This Ma Laoqi was really bad.
"On a rare occasion, Ma Laoqi, if you have the guts, you can raise the price. I will never bid again. You can just use it as toilet paper!"
Shi Changfeng gritted his teeth and added another five hundred. This was his limit. No matter how high it was, he would never add more.
"If you ask me to add more, I will add more, but I won't add more. I don't have such luxury as more than 10,000 toilet paper!"
Ma Laoqi sneered and stopped raising the price, which made Shi Changfeng so angry that he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
In the end, this picture of Qi Baishi's Bajiao Bookstore was snapped up by Shi Changfeng for a high price of 11,000 yuan, which caused the audience to burst into exclamations.
In this era, let alone households worth ten thousand yuan, even households worth one thousand yuan are extremely rare.
Ordinary people spend less than 1,000 yuan a year, which is equivalent to ten years of food rations for ordinary people.
Moreover, this can almost refresh the record of the auction in the past two years.
"Congratulations Mr. Shi, the Bajiao Bookstore picture is yours!"
Qi Linger knocked the hammer and said with a smile.
She is also very happy. Being able to sell such a high-priced item has increased her reputation a bit.
Every auction increases the qualifications of the auctioneer, especially such a record-breaking high price, which can add a lot of color to the professional experience.
He Jincheng was also stunned when he saw it. Ten thousand to ten thousand was just for such a painting. He, an antique novice, really couldn't understand it.
The first lot set a new auction record, and the atmosphere of the entire venue was aroused.
The next lot, although not as precious as the Bajiao Bookstore picture, is also rare.
Everyone placed bids one after another, and several items in a row fetched prices that exceeded the expectations of the auction.
"The next lot is also a painting. After identification, it should be from an unknown painter in the early Qing Dynasty. Although the painter is unknown, his painting skills are exquisite and his artistic conception is excellent. I believe it will not take long.
Get great appreciation!”
After a lot of excitement, Qi Linger picked up a painting again. This was a rather exquisite landscape painting. It was framed and seemed to be well preserved.
However, the author of this painting does not even have a name, so the value is greatly reduced.
Only the light flashed in He Jincheng's eyes.
Isn't this the baby with the painting in the painting? He actually encountered it.
He Jincheng was secretly happy, but also a little worried.
Those auction items just now all fetched very high prices.
Although this painting was painted by an unknown artist, the workmanship is very exquisite. If someone likes it, it might be able to fetch a high price.
I only have more than 3,000 on my body now, which is still relatively too little.
"Okay, then we will start the auction of this painting. The starting price is five hundred yuan, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred yuan. Please start bidding!"
Qi Linger said with a smile.
He Jincheng nodded slightly. The starting price was quite appropriate, indicating that the auctioneer was not very optimistic about the value of this painting.
"One thousand and one!"
Unexpectedly, the person who made the bid at the beginning was actually that boy Hu Zhengsheng.
He Jincheng frowned slightly and thought to himself, could this kid also see it?
"One thousand and two!"
An old man increased the price and seemed to like the painting very much.
Hu Zhengsheng glanced at the old man and added another hundred. As a result, the old man directly added three hundred, and the painting became one thousand and five.
Qi Ling'er was very happy. Their original expectation for the auction was one thousand and five dollars. Unexpectedly, after only three rounds of bidding, it had completely exceeded the auction's expectations.
Hu Zhengsheng withdrew from the competition, which made He Jincheng slightly relieved, confirming that this boy must not have seen the mystery of this painting.
Then people started to increase the price one after another, and finally the price of this painting was fixed at 2,011.
In the eyes of everyone, this price is not low. After all, it was painted by an unknown artist. Even if the painting is good, it is not worth that much money.
"Now Mr. Liu is offering two thousand one, is there any higher price?"
Qi Linger said with a smile. Unexpectedly, it was auctioned for two thousand one, which was definitely far beyond expectations.
"If no one raises the price, I will start counting down! Two thousand and one time! What a pity. The painter of this painting is definitely not bad. Maybe after knowing the identity of the painter in two years, the price will probably skyrocket!
"
Qi Linger was counting down while saying some encouraging words.
However, no one is a fool, and more importantly, not many people are interested in this painting.
"Twenty-one million for the second time!"
"Two thousand and one first..."
"Two thousand three hundred!"
Just when Qi Linger was about to hit the auction hammer, He Jincheng raised his placard and made a bid.
Everyone frowned slightly and looked in He Jincheng's direction with displeasure.
Mr. Liu also looked displeased. Seeing that he was about to get the painting, this kid jumped out at the last moment. He wanted to fight with himself!
