As soon as Dong Baiming's reserve price of 200,000 yuan was announced, many collectors in the audience who were interested in purchasing this antique painting took a deep breath, although they still looked calm on the outside.
Didn't they feel that the reserve price of the painting was too cheap and suspect that the painting was a fake? The credibility of Dong's auction was still guaranteed.
They thought that Dong Baiming's trick of cutting the firewood was too special.
Just imagine, if the reserve price of this painting is two million, many people may not participate in the bidding, but if the reserve price is only two hundred thousand, then many collectors who originally did not want to buy it will have hope in their hearts and join the bidding.
It is possible to spend hundreds of thousands to buy a Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting with Huang Gongwang's own handwriting. This is no longer an ordinary pick-up, but a big leak among big leaks, a top-notch big leak.
"Mr. Dong, what if your painting is a fake? Can you please explain the compensation issue if it is a fake?"
Suddenly someone in the audience said something shocking.
Because there were a total of two hundred guests at this auction, but I don’t know who said it.
At this time, Shen Yu and Mr. Wu had returned to the VIP table. Shen Yu's ears and eyes were sharp, and he had already heard the voices coming from the group of people who were just talking about Mr. Dong's evil intentions.
At this moment, Shen Yu already knew that some of these people came this time to more or less deliberately seek trouble.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yu whispered to Dong Yun'er, who was reading a comic book next to him: "There should be someone in the three rows behind us who is deliberately looking for trouble. Have someone check their identities and then find someone." It’s time to give the list to Mr. Dong. Mr. Dong should be able to identify those who want to harm him.”
Dong Yuner nodded obediently, and then left the table quickly.
Mr. Wu was next to Shen Yu. After Dong Yun'er left, he suddenly sighed softly, "It's not easy to do anything now. Mr. Dong has tempered his temper a lot over the years, but there are still many enemies and competitors who want to It’s hard to attack him, but as long as the old Dong doesn’t give it for free, and as long as he insists on not selling fake products, no one can touch him at all.”
After listening to Mr. Wu's words, Shen Yu suddenly seemed to have thought of something, "Mr. Wu, I see that Mr. Dong is somewhat similar in appearance to Mr. Dong Pengcheng from Wanbao Tower. They both have the surname Dong. I wonder if there is any blood relationship?"
Wu Laoqi said: "Don't you know about this?"
Shen Yu shook his head, "I don't know, I just suddenly thought of this."
Mr. Wu said with a smile: "Their grandfathers are brothers, so they are cousins, and they were born in the same year and month. Pengcheng is three days older than Bai Ming, so they are brothers."
After saying that, Mr. Wu restrained his smile and said, "One more thing is that Bai Ming's son, Yun'er's father, died in a car accident. Bai Ming only has one granddaughter now. Pengcheng originally wanted to give Bai Ming a granddaughter. Grandson, but was rejected by Brother Bai Ming, who planned to recruit a grandson-in-law."
Shen Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything. He just lamented that the antique circle is so small!
……
"Yes, Mr. Dong, you protected this ancient painting in a glass cover so that we can only see it but not touch it. How can we tell whether this painting is authentic or fake?"
"That's it. Dong's auction must have a clear explanation of how to compensate for fake calligraphy and paintings. Not only this one, but also the following lots must have a clear explanation."
"Yes, there must be a compensation for counterfeiting."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone in the audience expressed their worries.
Dong Baiming has experienced many storms, and this situation has long been regarded as normal. He said calmly: "As I said, if the first ten items on the auction are fake, I will pay ten for each one. In other words, if the calligraphy on this painting is not It was inscribed by Huang Gongwang himself, or the painting as a whole is not a Ming Dynasty painting. As long as everyone finds the loopholes, I will pay you ten times the price for the price!
"As for the ten lots or more, the old rule is that if there are any fake items, you will be compensated and the other items will come with a bonus, so everyone can rest assured, right?"
"Three hundred thousand!"
Soon the first auction sound came from the audience.
"Okay, VIP No. 59 bids 300,000 yuan!"
This time it was no longer Mr. Dong Baiming who spoke, but a middle-aged man in a suit in his forties. It was obvious that he was the host of the auction. His appearance was five points similar to that of Dong Baiming. It seems that he is Mr. Dong’s nephew.
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Half a million!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
"Eight hundred thousand!"
"Nine hundred thousand!"
"One million!"
In just ten seconds, this ancient painting has reached the seven-digit million level.
Shen Yudao is not surprised by the increase in price of hundreds of thousands. Who among the people here is not a smart person? No one is willing to spend money on others. They always raise the price slowly first and wait and see the limelight before making a choice!
However, someone immediately broke the rule of raising the price, "Two million!"
The bid this time is for VIP Seat No. 2, so the price will be directly increased by one million!
And it was a female voice. After hearing just one word, Shen Yu recognized that it was Pei Yuqin's voice.
I quickly took out my phone, and the WeChat notification sound came from my phone.
Shen Yu lowered his head and saw that it was indeed a message from Pei Yuqin, "Qinan."
Shen Yu replied: "Sister Qin, is that you?"
Pei Yuqin: "It's me, I'm also at the auction." Then she made a silly smile expression covering her mouth.
"Come on, come with me! Go to VIP Room No. 8."
Shen Yu: "Now?"
Pei Yuqin: "Well, right now, remember to tell Mr. Wu before coming over."
The luxurious VIP Room No. 8 is clean and elegant.
The room is full of potted flowers, many of which Shen Yu can’t even name.
There are several landscape paintings and ancient calligraphy hanging on the wall appropriately, no more and no less.
"Sister Qin!" Shen Yu looked at Pei Yuqin sitting on the sofa and shouted in a sincere tone.
Today, Pei Yuqin wore a black office outfit with gorgeous makeup. She still wore black eyeliner and peach blossom eye makeup. She was very beautiful, but the graceful curvy figure that Shen Yu often saw in the past was not visible at all today.
Because the clothes Pei Yuqin is wearing seem to be one size too big.
Shen Yu asked in confusion: "Sister Qin, why did you cover yourself so tightly? You don't feel well, you have a cold, and you still come... No, it's still that..."
Pei Yuqin pushed back the loose hair from the corner of her mouth and ears, and then gave Shen Yu a very charming look, "Idiot, if I don't dress more tightly, do you still want me to wear a short skirt for others to see?"
Shen Yu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, that's not what I meant."
A sudden blush appeared on Pei Yuqin's face, and even her neck was flushed. She stood up and raised her hand to pinch Shen Yu's cheek, pretending to be angry and said: "Enemies, there are women everywhere, Mr. Dong's granddaughter is treating you Stay close, let me see, if you are willing, she can’t wait to marry you today.”
After saying that, a complicated look flashed across Pei Yuqin's beautiful eyes. She gently adjusted the collar of Shen Yu's windbreaker and sighed leisurely, "Qinan, I don't know whether it's my sister's happiness or misfortune that I fall in love with you. ”
"Sister Qin, you are wrong. It's not like this. Sister Qin, you are so good to me, there is no way I can find another girl..." Shen Yu wanted to flatter him quietly and move the conversation aside. , but unexpectedly, Pei Yuqin’s hand touching her face felt extremely cold.
For a moment, Shen Yu didn't care whether men and women were intimate or not, and held Pei Yuqin's jade hand in his hand.
Although Pei Yuqin's hands are as white and tender as jade, they are bitingly cold.
"Sister Qin, what's wrong with your hands? Why are they so cold?"
Pei Yuqin let Shen Yu hold her right hand and said with a lazy smile: "Idiot, I just washed my face with cold water in the bathroom, then touched up my makeup and washed my hands, don't worry!"
Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Now that the weather is getting colder, it's better not to touch the cold water."
"You know you feel sorry for my sister?"
"Huh?" Shen Yu looked directly at Pei Yuqin and nodded sincerely.
This time it was Pei Yuqin's turn to feel embarrassed. She rubbed her cheeks again and spat in a low voice: "Idiot, how can you look at people like this?"
