On the other side, on the second floor above the auction house,
There is a dedicated guest viewing room,
Sitting here, you can overlook the entire venue and have a panoramic view of everything.
Right now, there are three old men sitting in the viewing room.
Two of them were old acquaintances with Su Chen, namely Hong Chunjun and Li Zishi.
After all, tonight's auction is organized and sponsored by them, so naturally I want to come to the scene in person to see the excitement.
As for the other one, he had gray hair, wore a black Tang suit, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Overall, it looks polite and well-educated.
"Let me tell you, Lao Hu, you traveled thousands of miles from Jinling to participate in this auction. I wonder if there are any antiques that interest you?"
Hong Chunjun looked up at the man named Lao Hu in front of him and asked with a faint smile on his face.
This old Hu’s name is Hu Tianyou, and he has quite a lot of background.
He is the president of the famous Treasure Appraisal Association in Jinling.
It can be said that the antiques that can catch Hu Tianyou's fancy are definitely priceless treasures.
“It’s a worthwhile trip, I’ve really gained a lot!”
At this moment, Hu Tianyou also nodded with a smile, his expression showing satisfaction and joy.
He participated in tonight's auction without revealing his identity.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that at tonight's auction, the dignitaries will not come to see the antiques, but to see Hu Tianyou.
Because the things that Hu Tianyou likes are naturally not ordinary things.
Those high-ranking officials are also human beings. If Hu Tianyou appears, they don't need to appreciate anything, they just need to follow Hu Tianyou's rhythm and buy.
Whatever Hu Tianyou buys, they will buy it, and they will never lose money anyway.
This also brought a lot of trouble to Hu Tianyou.
That is to say, it is very difficult to take photos of a few good things, and many people come here for his fame.
In this regard, Hu Tianyou could only sit in the room on the second floor. When he saw an antique that he was satisfied with, he would notify the secretary below to bid.
Because I didn't know that Hu Tianyou was present, the bidding went particularly smoothly.
Hu Tianyou also picked up several leaks and spent millions to buy things worth tens of millions.
Next to him were Li Zishi and Hong Chunjun. As hosts, they naturally had to entertain Hu Tianyou well.
The most important thing is that following Hu Tianyou tonight, the two of them also learned a lot of details about treasure appraisal.
Hu Tianyou will carefully analyze the pros and cons of each auction item on stage, giving people a new level of understanding of treasure appraisal.
This is knowledge that money can’t buy!
At this time, Li Zishi watched the staff carrying the Picasso imitation, and immediately turned to look at Hu Tianyou and asked: "Old Hu, what do you think of this painting?"
Hong Chunjun also looked at Hu Tianyou, curious about Hu Tianyou's answer.
Hu Tianyou looked at the painting for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "If this painting is authentic, the price may be a hundred times higher, or even more."
"But the host also said that if it's just a replica, it's not worth a million."
"I guess no one will buy it."
Hu Tianyou actually said it very tactfully,
Not to mention one million, I guess hundreds of thousands are too expensive.
Hong Chunjun and Li Zishi next to them also nodded. This painting was also used temporarily to make up for it.
Regarding Hu Tianyou's answer, the two of them were not surprised.
Even looking at the expressions of the guests in the audience, they knew that no one would probably follow the price of this painting.
However, the next second, Li Zishi and Mr. Hong Chunjun saw Su Chen holding the sign.
The two of them were very surprised by this.
I didn't expect that Su Chen would be here.
Are young people also interested in this kind of auction?
You know, today's young people are too impetuous.
Living in a life of gold and paper drunkenness, I have absolutely no interest in such a boring and cumbersome auction.
Su Chen's arrival really surprised the two old people.
What surprised them even more was that Su Chen actually bid on this imitation?
"Lao Li, Lao Hong, do you know the young man holding the sign?"
At this time, Hu Tianyou also noticed the surprised expressions on the two old men's faces, and immediately asked.
Li Zishi naturally did not hide it and nodded directly: "Yes, the little friend in the audience is the Su Chen Xiaosu I have always mentioned to you."
Hong Chunjun also said from the side: "I am also very optimistic about that young man Su Chen. He will definitely have a place in the future provincial capital."
He paused and continued: "I just didn't expect that he would be interested in this painting."
Listening to the explanations of the two old men, Hu Tianyou couldn't help but look more at Su Chen in the audience, with surprise and curiosity in his expression.
You know, Hu Tianyou understands the characters of these two old friends very well.
They are all filled with pride,
Normally I don’t necessarily have anyone I can praise.
But now he is able to give Su Chen such high praise, that is absolute recognition.
Hu Tianyou didn't say much, he just said casually: "Perhaps he simply likes this painting?"
After all, not everyone who comes to the auction is thinking about profit.
There are also some people who really like antiques and plan to buy them back for collection.
This kind of love cannot be measured by money.
Li Zishi didn't say much to Hong Chunjun, and nodded, acknowledging what he said.
In the venue,
Facing Su Chen's incredible behavior, the onlookers didn't say anything directly, but their expressions were full of sneers and sarcasm.
After all, it is really weird to spend one million to buy such a worthless antique.
Whether it’s the ridicule of passers-by, Gu Changge’s success as a villain, or their euphemistic sighs from Chen Guixue’s ancient poems,
Su Chen had a panoramic view of all this.
Are you waiting to see my joke?
Then let you take a closer look and see if buying this painting for one million is a joke!
As the female host's three-second countdown ended, she made the final decision.
This Picasso imitation has officially been owned by Su Chen.
As the organizer, Li Jiawei seemed to be afraid that Su Chen would regret it, so he deliberately deducted the balance of one million yuan in advance.
In response to this, Su Chen also shook his head, with amusement in his eyes.
Su Chen could understand the behavior of these people.
After all, he would not have purchased the painting if there was no future news that revealed the information to him.
"Xiaoxue, is this your boyfriend?"
“Spending a million dollars on a pair of crap?
?”
At this time, Gu Changge walked over, his expression showing contempt for Su Chen and the pride that his plan had succeeded.
Also following was the loser Li Jiawei, who also came to see Su Chen's jokes.
Chen Guixue, who was standing next to him, looked a little ugly. He immediately stood up and spoke for Su Chen: "In your eyes, it's trash, but in Su Chen's eyes, it's a good thing. That's enough."
"Gu Changge, there's no need for you to step on me here, right?"
Chen Guixue also looked at Gu Changge's face with disgust, and immediately did not show any good expression.
"oh?
Can a good thing be called a good thing even if it’s worthless?”
Gu Changge laughed heartily, his expression not concealing his pride at all.
"Xiaoxue, now that things have happened, why are you still speaking for this Su Chen?"
"Look at his behavior. He was taken advantage of and slaughtered like a pig!"
"I don't know how you fell in love with such a waste. If I were you, I would have kicked him long ago!"
Li Jiawei, who was next to him, also echoed: "Dr. Chen, this time you were really blinded by Su Chen's sweet words."
"Compared to our young master Gu, Su Chen is as good as the heavens and the earth!"
"Look at us, Mr. Gu, we have gained a lot tonight! We threw five million, but we got ten million in return, which is a full double!"
"On the other hand, Su Chen spent a million dollars to buy a piece of garbage. The money was wasted!"
"Tell me, what kind of happiness can you have in the future if you are with such a person?
Young Master Gu is where you belong!"
With Gu Changge supporting him behind him, Li Jiawei put his hands on his hips and pointed at Su Chen.
Chen Guixue also opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
After all, Li Jiawei and Gu Changge only said that Su Chen spent one million dollars to buy rubbish, and she didn't know what to say.
After all, none of the guests at the venue were optimistic about the painting Su Chen bought.
But at this moment, Su Chen slowly spoke.
"Who said my million was wasted?"
When Gu Changge heard this, he said with a smile: "I say Su Chen, you are also a businessman after all. You know that businessmen only look at profits when weighing pros and cons."
"Now the painting you bought has no value at all. What else is it if it's not wasted?"
"I said you have to pretend to be fat here, right?
Is it so difficult to admit that you were taken advantage of?"
Gu Changge's face was full of sneer,
In his opinion, Su Chen didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Chen Guixue, so he was just pretending here.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Chen lost one million dollars in blood this time!
Chen Guixue's expression changed. She wanted to speak for Su Chen, but she didn't know what to say.
After all, the million spent is really not worth it.
However, in the next second, Su Chen directly took the painting off the drawing board.
This move shocked everyone present.
What is Su Chen doing?
?
Could it be that he was so angry that he wanted to destroy the painting?
Gu Changge had a faint smile on his face. He was happy to see this situation.
After all, the more embarrassing Su Chen is, the more the evil in his heart will come out.
However, the next second, Gu Changge froze on the spot.
Because Su Chen did not tear up the painting, but turned it over.
What surprised everyone was that there was a painting on the back of the painting!!
