"Next, let me invite Master Qiao to come on stage to talk about his views on this painting. I believe his suggestions are worth reference." Manager Li suddenly turned the topic to Qiao Meng.
"Yes, yes, yes, please let Master Qiao come up and talk about it. What he said before is quite right. We believe him!" Many people are still convinced of Qiao Meng's appraisal ability. Many people have become his fans and started to
Strong support.
Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Qiao Meng had no choice but to slowly walk onto the stage.
However, he had already thought about his words and was not so nervous. After holding the microphone, he said: "First of all, I would like to thank you all for your trust and support in Mr. Qiao, but no one is perfect. I hope that if I show up,
Everyone can tolerate me when I make mistakes."
"Okay, we like Master Qiao to be so forthright. Don't worry, I won't blame you even if I'm wrong this time!" This uncle is a loyal fan of Qiao Meng, and he has taken photos of good objects according to his explanation before.
, if it hadn't been for him, the uncle might not have even thought about making a bid.
"Yes, we won't blame you." Another fan responded positively.
"Okay, then what I want to say is, this is what I think about this picture. It can't be fake, and it can't be true. If you want to do it, please think carefully." Qiao Meng said at once.
After saying that, he bowed and quickly returned to his seat.
Everyone was at a loss at this time. What Qiao Meng said was as if he didn't say anything. Some people questioned him and the first half of his sentence was to indicate that this thing was fake.
But some people think that the second half of what he said is the most important, implying that their painting is not authentic. This is because they cannot be too blatant in front of the people in Gulou City and can only use this method.
In fact, the reason why Qiao Meng set up such a club is because if everyone participates in the bidding, the scene will definitely be chaotic, and the time will definitely not be short, so there may be guests staying here for this reason.
This is not what Qiao Meng wants to see. There are many rooms in this place just for these guests to stay, but they usually won't be opened until it's too late. This requires him to control the time carefully.
"You have done a good job. If this happens, many people will not dare to bid against me. If I see the right moment and raise the price, I don't believe anyone else can compete with me!" Brother Huang Mao started to become arrogant again.
Now, he doesn't seem to be afraid of anyone when it comes to money.
Of course, it's possible that he didn't see anyone who could crush him tonight, so he was more bold.
"I just did what I had to do." Qiao Meng answered with certainty.
"Okay, okay, you have done what you should do. It seems that you already have your own answer, but I will not rush you. Everyone needs time and process to adapt." Brother Huang Mao is really feeling in his heart now.
I am so happy. If I get this painting again, I will definitely fly to heaven.
Many people were already prepared, and some friends who came together began to discuss whether they should bid together to win the treasure first, and then the two of them would share the results afterwards.
This "Han Xizai Night Banquet" is the work of Gu Hongzhong, a painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and it is also his only masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.
What Qiao Meng identified just now is that the biggest difference between the fake pictures is that the painting materials above were obviously ground in modern times, without any trace of history.
However, not everyone can identify this, because it is too difficult. In terms of distressing, imitators have reached the pinnacle of perfection, and the details and imitations are even more profound and lifelike.
The only flaw is that the original artist of this painting is not him, and the material used is not the raw stone he mines now, and it is rougher than it is now.
If we insist on talking about it, this imitator has actually reached a level comparable to that of the original author. It is no wonder that the fake can be mistaken for the real one.
The original painting of this painting is made of color, and the coloring is exquisite and elegant, giving a clear sense of layering. In the whole painting, colors such as vermilion, cinnabar, azurite, stone green and white powder are used frequently, which provides strong contrast.
It can be seen that the video that Director Li released just now is probably fabricated, which means that it is also a forgery. The purpose is to make more people believe that the painting is authentic.
It can only be said that this is a method, and it is very effective. With sufficient technical support, it can indeed be deceived and many people are fooled.
Before he came into contact with the real thing, Qiao Meng even thought that the painting would be authentic, and he still sighed in his heart that Gulou City was so powerful. He didn't expect it to be such a scam. It should be a trick thought up by the mysterious boss.
This is too damaging.
If it succeeds, Gulou City can even conduct intermittent auctions like this for a relatively long period of time, and every time it can prove that what it sells is absolutely genuine, and the value is incredible, wouldn't it mean that it will make a fortune.
If this situation continues, no one can easily find out the clues.
Qiao Meng could only shake his head at this. The water in the antique market was really getting deeper and deeper.
"Okay, this painting is going to be auctioned now, with a reserve price of 20 million!" Director Li directly announced the highest reserve price tonight.
"Twenty million!" There is always someone who refuses to give up and calls out the lowest price as if going through the motions.
"Thirty million!"
"Thirty-five million!" Like a roller coaster, the price has risen rapidly, and it is simply not comparable to those previous items.
"Fifty million!" In just the past three or four rounds, the price had risen so high. This really made Qiao Meng unexpected. He still underestimated people's desire for absolute treasures. This was an irresistible temptation.
"Fifty-five million!" A man still raised his bid to five million at his own pace.
"It seems that it is really not easy to win this painting tonight. I originally thought that your words would bring me a better chance, but I didn't expect that these people's desire would be stronger.
"Brother Huang Mao couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene.
"They are screaming fiercely now, but that doesn't mean they will have such confidence in the end. I think you will have the highest chance of getting it." Qiao Meng made a wave of analysis and praised Brother Huang Mao again.
Hearing the praise for himself, Brother Huang Mao began to feel a little carried away. "Sixty million!" This was his first bid, and he was not to be outdone.
"It's him again, we can't lose again, I don't believe he is so rich, let's increase the price." A fat uncle seemed very unhappy with Brother Huang Mao. Maybe he was a little jealous that he had failed to get the two treasures before, so he
Then he ordered his men to raise the price to death.
"Ninety million!"
Suddenly the price reached a value of nearly 100 million. Even if Qiao Meng added up the money he earned from the beginning to now, it would not be enough.
Gradually, some people couldn't keep up, and they didn't expect that they could actually achieve such a high value. Many people became theatergoers because they had no money to continue investing, so they had no choice but to be spectators.
"Ninety-one million!"
The price increase began to decrease, this time it was the price offered by the lady who had guessed the painting.
"Ninety-five million!"
Another man didn't worry about the funds at all, and continued to increase the amount by five million. Qiao Meng felt so happy when he listened to the bidding again and again at the scene. He didn't expect so many people to put their money.
They all look at it so indifferently. If that's the case, then let him take over.
"One hundred million!"
Finally it was over 100 million. This time it was Huang Maoge who bid the price himself. He very much hoped that the auction could be concluded as soon as possible so that he could take the painting home and claim credit.
"This gentleman is asking for 100 million. Is there anything you want to add? 100 million once, 100 million twice..." Manager Li began to put pressure on everyone, so that those who were originally hesitant would do it immediately.
Make a decision, either stop or continue fighting to the end.
"One hundred and twenty million!" The bidder was an old man who looked about the same age as Tianlao. He seemed to be determined to win the painting, but he didn't know how much confidence he still had.
"One hundred and twenty-five million!" It's still the same Mr. Five Million. Nothing has changed, as if he can continue to increase the five million. In fact, just now he borrowed money from a friend next to him and planned to
Borrow as much as you want, and you can own the paintings together when the time comes.
"One hundred and thirty million!" The lady was still unwilling to give up and continued to bid.
"Damn it! I don't want to wait any longer, 200 million!"
Brother Huang Mao seems to have lost his patience. According to this situation, it is very likely that the situation will continue to drag on. And the price will definitely be 200 million, but it is very different if he directly bids like this. The span suddenly reaches more than 70 million, and the remaining people will still pay.
I won’t dare to bid easily if I can hold on a little longer.
It can be said that Brother Huang Mao has just stuck the price. Either someone else bids more than expected, or it ends directly.
In the end, after bidding twice, this masterpiece was bought by Huang Maoge for 230 million.
The auction is over, so Qiao Meng should do what he has already prepared.
After everyone left, Brother Huang Mao took his things and was about to leave. At this time, Qiao Meng said to him: "Just now, the supervisor here told me that he wanted to invite us to the conference room for tea, so as to officially make friends.
"
After thinking for a moment, Brother Huang Mao agreed: "Okay, let's go over and have a look. He must be trying to win over me because he charged me too much money."
After receiving this answer, Qiao Meng secretly showed a successful smile behind his back.
Bang bang - at the moment they were about to push the door open and go in, two gunshots were fired and the two bodyguards were eliminated.
A Biao quickly appeared with his men and brought Brother Huang Mao and Sissy Man under control. In fact, Supervisor Li had already been dealt with by this time. Qiao Meng had long thought that this person could not be retained. Although he had some ability, he was too ambitious.
.
"What are you doing? Qiao Meng, what are you going to do!" Only then did Brother Huang Mao realize that he had been fooled, but his struggle was of no use and he could only look at Qiao Meng angrily.
"Nothing much to do. I asked you to have some tea. Come in." Qiao Meng said very scornfully.
"You Infernal Affairs!"
Bang! Qiao Meng gave Sissy a very heavy slap, causing the corners of his mouth to bleed.
"You know nothing, this is called resourcefulness!"
