According to the order, the next group was Qiao Meng who went up to watch. He gave Lan Hai a look and after confirming each other, he strolled onto the stage.
When Qiao Meng walked up, his eyes deliberately focused on one of the women and kept wandering, showing a greedy smile.
Just when he was getting closer, Lan Hai suddenly pretended to fall and pushed him. Then Qiao Meng deliberately leaned towards the woman and touched her proud part with one hand, which made it look like he was wearing silk clothes.
Things were torn off, leaving the scene in a mess.
"What is this man doing! Shameless!" Someone in the audience immediately said angrily.
"That's too much, why don't you let me come!" Such voices were occasionally mixed in with the constant anger.
"I'm sorry, it was really an accident just now. Someone pushed me from behind and I couldn't stand still. Let me help you tidy up." Qiao Meng apologized sincerely, but his hand movements were still very disobedient and he rubbed against the woman.
"Hmph! Pervert, take your dirty hands away." The woman angrily stopped Qiao Meng's behavior. Now she thought he was a lustful person.
When Qiao Meng saw that the situation was almost over, he left with a smile. When he left, he did not forget to tease the woman: "The girl is very good."
snort--
After returning to his seat, Qiao Meng was very calm and didn't mention what happened just now. He didn't even make any movements. He just sat there motionless.
In fact, he was digesting the information identified by the treasure appraisal ability. In the chaos just now, he did not forget the benefits. Although he felt very comfortable, his other hand still touched the screen without knowing it.
A lot of time.
"It's really an authentic work. This auction is really extraordinary." Qiao Meng thought in his heart.
Apart from the farce just now, there were no other accidents at the scene. However, few people were able to identify the authenticity of this painting in a short period of time. At most, they only half-guessed and half-understood. Qiao Meng heard the comments from the people next to him.
You can know a lot about them.
Lan Hai asked again: "Brother, you didn't even look at it just now. Are you just trying to let me help you take advantage of others?"
He was quite concerned about this matter. If what Qiao Meng asked him to do was to find out whether the painting was true or false, that would be no problem. He would not refuse it no matter what, but just now he didn't do it at all.
When Qiao Meng glanced at the painting, and instead kept making fun of the woman on the stage, he was a little unhappy.
"Do you think I'm at this level?" Qiao Meng didn't answer directly, but asked instead.
"No." After thinking about it, Lan Hai still felt that maybe he hadn't considered what Qiao Meng wanted to do.
"Forget it, let me tell you, in fact, I have just verified that this painting is undoubtedly authentic." Qiao Meng asked him to whisper in his ear.
"Really? Then should we buy it?"
Lan Hai was very excited, not only because the painting was real, but also because he knew that Qiao Meng had already appraised the painting when he couldn't see it. Even if he didn't know how it was done, as long as Qiao Meng said it,
He will choose to believe that there are so many miracles he has learned these days that he cannot help but doubt them.
"Of course, you can consider buying it, but there are too many people and it's difficult to compete. Let's see the situation later." Qiao Meng said after analysis.
"Yes, brother, can you first tell me about the content of this painting?" Lan Hai asked.
"Don't you have fakes at home? No one told you about the real ones?" Qiao Meng asked curiously.
However, he later told Lan Hai that this "Spring Outing" is the oldest landscape scroll painting found in my country. There is also a six-character "Zhan Zi Qian's Spring Outing" written by Zhao Ji, Emperor Weizong of the Song Dynasty.
The fakes don’t have these six words on them. It’s not that the imitators don’t know about them, but because they can’t imitate them. They were originally words that were added many years after the painting was completed. If you want to copy them exactly the same, you have to do it.
No, maybe the glyphs can be imitated, but the timing of the handwriting is difficult to replicate.
Moreover, this painting depicts the scene of an aristocratic spring outing. The techniques for depicting the characters are extremely detailed. The horse standing on the horse appears to be walking, the lying horse appears to be jumping up, and the mountains and rivers far and near have the spirit of being close at hand and thousands of miles away.
The processing of the entire picture reflects a new stage of landscape painting in the Sui Dynasty. Not only the proportion of people and mountains is appropriate, but the relationship between distance and reality is more appropriate. This is an epoch-making improvement. In terms of value, in art
The field is definitely superior.
"My eldest brother and my father both said the same thing, except that he didn't tell me that there was Song Weizong's inscription on the original work, let alone the handwriting. Maybe he hadn't seen the original work before." Lan Hai recalled as he spoke.
Recalling the past scene, I felt a little depressed.
Qiao Meng could vaguely tell that there might be an unusual story between him and his father or that the senior had passed away, but no matter what, it was not advisable to mention it too much to avoid being sad.
So he changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's see how many people want to grab this painting later."
"Everyone, this painting is of great significance, and it was not easy for us to obtain it. Therefore, the bidding price is 30 million." As soon as Qiao Meng finished speaking, the host announced the start of the bidding.
"Thirty million!"
"Thirty-one million!"
It was Gao Qiao's first experience with such a starting price at the beginning, but it was also the first time for him to see such a valuable treasure in such a place, so it was not surprising.
On the other hand, there is nothing new in the bidding. There is never a shortage of bids for low prices at the first call. The bidding price at the beginning basically does not rise too fast, and it is when the price rises in the middle.
"Thirty-five million!"
Qiao Meng suddenly heard a relatively familiar voice coming from the front. After looking carefully, he realized that it was indeed an old acquaintance, Li Qiang. Unexpectedly, he met him here again. He probably knew that he couldn't survive in S City, so he ran to the provincial capital.
Following Li Ka, he might have spent a lot of time hanging out in a place like this.
"It seems we are really on the same road. Since you want to spend money, I will let you spend it more comfortably." Qiao Meng kept thinking in his heart.
In fact, just now Li Qiang went up to watch and then left for a while. He just happened to miss Qiao Meng's farce on the stage. Otherwise, how could he have acted carelessly if he knew that his nemesis was also present.
"Brother, when will we bid?"
Although this was not Lan Hai's first time participating in an auction, he usually followed others and watched, so he still didn't dare to bid on his own for fear of making a mistake.
"Don't worry, I saw an old friend and I don't want this painting anymore." Qiao Meng said without any concealment.
"No more? Is this friend so important that we can give up such a work?" Lan Hai expressed confusion.
"I'll explain these things to you later. In short, we have to find a way for him to get this painting, but the price..." Qiao Meng just smiled and said nothing more.
Looking at him like this, Lan Hai understood that the so-called old friend should refer to his opponent, and he definitely wanted to make the other party pay a big price this time.
Come to think of it, although Qiao Meng chose to be rich, he may not be rich enough to squander it casually. This treasure may have surpassed his wealth long ago. Instead of doing nothing and watching others bid, it is better to use his strength to fight for it.
Considering these blue oceans, I feel relieved.
"Fifty million!"
Not long after, the price has increased by as much as 20 million, and the most intense moment should be coming. I wonder if Li Qiang will still be involved in it. For someone like him, he will not hesitate to take action if he takes a fancy to it.
After all, the black market is not like the outside. Although the reserve price of 30 million is very high, if you get it at an upright auction, the 50 million just now may not be the lowest price. This is the gap. Otherwise, how could it attract so many people?
Many people came to fight for it.
According to the valuation of the treasure appraisal ability, this painting is worth at least 120 million in the regular market, which means that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"Sixty million!" It was the first time that the price had been raised dramatically, and someone shouted so fiercely. It turned out to be Lan Hai, and Qiao Meng asked him to scare everyone.
But this is also a gamble. If others suddenly stop playing, Qiao Meng must bear the consequences.
"Sixty-one million!" Li Qiang really knew what he was selling and knew that the painting was worth more than that, but if he wanted to keep the price down, it would have to depend on whether Qiao Mengtong agreed.
"Sixty-two million!"
"Sixty-three million!"
"Seventy million!"
"Wow, our gentleman really loves this painting so much that he actually raised the price again. Is there any higher price?" the host said excitedly.
"Seventy-five million!" Li Qiang was also more aggressive. It was a good idea to raise the price significantly within a limited range, but Qiao Meng was more daring than him and continued to ask Lan Hai to increase the price, "Eighty million!"
"Oh my god, this gentleman is so amazing. Who else, who else can compete with him? Who will win this work that represents the innovation of the times?" the host heard.
Everyone went crazy after Lan Hai's quotation, which meant that his salary would also increase.
"Who on earth is actually going against me!" Li Qiang was very angry. He didn't expect someone to be so tough. It was obvious that he looked down on him.
"This No. 304 is a young guy. Maybe his family has more money to squander. Let's not fight." People around Li Qiang advised.
"No, a junior can be so arrogant, I don't accept it!" Li Qiang was still like that. He thought about the time when he was suppressed by Qiao Meng before, and the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.
"Ninety million! Let's see who wants to fight with me!" Li Qiang smiled, very arrogantly. Indeed, he dared to spend money in the first round and would not do it easily even if others could afford it.
"Ninety million once, ninety million twice, ninety million three times! Congratulations to Mr. No. 32!" The host himself felt extremely happy when he read this number.
"Then there will be a ten-minute break. The second treasure will appear in front of you soon." After the host said this, he took Li Qiang to the backstage to go through the relevant procedures. In fact, he paid for it with one hand and received the goods with the other.
Just as Li Qiang walked out with a smile, Qiao Meng also smiled and stood not far away to say hello: "Old friend, long time no see."
Ding——
Li Qiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: "It couldn't have been this kid who did it just now."
"Why are you here?" Li Qiang suppressed his impulse and asked.
"I'll help you spend the money." Qiao Meng said with a smile.
