Chapter 321: Auction

Of course, most people came to join in the fun and make friends, and there were not many people who actually went up to watch.

Detian Auction Company is the largest auction company in the capital. The origins and values ​​of the auction items are not low. They are all worth more than several million yuan. In addition, there are only two or three items worth millions, while most of the others are worth more than tens of millions, and there are two items worth over 100 million yuan.

"The sixth lot to be auctioned is Xu Beihong's painting "The Wounded Lion". This painting was created in 1938, when Japanese pirates occupied most of the United Kingdom of China. The country was lost and people were suffering. Xu Beihong was filled with resentment. The wounded lion he painted looked back and looked up, which contained infinite deep meaning. He wrote on the painting: 'When the country was in great crisis, I was a guest in Chongqing with Mr. Lin Ruo. I was unhappy with each other and wrote this to express my feelings.' It shows the author's patriotic and worrying thoughts. This is a painting that combines realism and romanticism. Xiaguo is called the 'sleeping lion' of the East. Most of the territory in the northeast of the United Kingdom of China was occupied by the Kingdom of Japan. The 'sleeping lion' has become a wounded lion. This wounded lion with angry eyes is ready to fight and struggle in his expression that cannot bear to look back. It contains strength and power."

Speaking of these things, everyone felt resentment towards the Emperor Pu Dong Wa Kingdom. The hatred between the Emperor Pu Dong Wa Kingdom and the Emperor Pu Dong Xia United Kingdom could never be resolved.

"The starting price for this painting 'The Wounded Lion' is five million, and the minimum bid is one million. The auction begins." As Zhao Xiyuan finished speaking, everyone raised their placards to bid.

Gu Ning and the others were not just here to join in the fun, because Leng Shaoting wanted to auction the calligraphy and painting by Xu Beihong to Old Man Leng.

Coincidentally, Tang Yaxin also wanted to bid for this calligraphy and painting.

However, Leng Shaoting was not in a hurry to bargain, as it would be troublesome. It would be better to wait until the end, when it was almost finalized, and then shout out the price, and it would be finalized soon.

"Number 39, twelve million."

"Number 57, 13 million."

······ "Number 62, twenty-eight million." Number 62 belongs to Tang Yaxin.

At this point, no one was following, but then Leng Shaoting appeared.

"Number 32, twenty-nine million."

This number 32 belongs to Leng Shaoting.

Originally, Tang Yaxin was determined to get the painting "The Wounded Lion" and thought it would be in her pocket, but she didn't expect that someone would show up halfway.

But at an auction, the winner is the one with the highest bid, so she couldn't say anything.

After a few rounds, Tang Yaxin's face began to look unhappy, because the other party had no intention of stopping, and raised the signs so readily, as if they didn't care about the money at all.

Originally, Tang Yaxin followed Tang Bingsen's instructions and took a picture of the painting as a gift, but now, it might be difficult to take a picture of the painting.

After a few more rounds, Tang Yaxin gave up because the painting had already been sold for 38 million. She knew that she would not be able to get it if she continued bidding, and the price was almost the same, so it would not be worth bidding any higher.

Although the Tang family is not short of this little money, they cannot do such a business that will lose money. Since they cannot give away the "Wounded Lion" painting, they can still give away something else!

Therefore, Leng Shaoting bought Xu Beihong's "The Wounded Lion" for 38 million yuan.

Seeing Tang Yaxin being humiliated, Gu Ning was naturally relieved. Leng Shaoting really vented her anger invisibly! Soon, it was the ninth item, the Xiangyunxuan antique shop.

"The following is the ninth auction item, the Xiangyunxuan antique shop." Zhao Xiyuan paused and continued, "I believe that everyone who loves antiques knows that Xiangyunxuan is a 70-year-old shop. It is famous for its honesty and never deceives customers. If it weren't for the sudden accident in the family of the owner of Xiangyunxuan, it would not have been transferred so easily. So, there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters that we cannot control. We must always cherish the people around us and don't wait until we lose them to understand. By then, it will be too late."

Having said this, Zhao Xiyuan paused, and the atmosphere was inexplicably surrounded by a sense of sadness, because everyone had been touched by Zhao Xiyuan's words.

Yang Jianping asked himself, do you regret it?

Now he regrets it, but if things go back to two years ago, he would still make the same choice, because Zhao Xiyuan two years ago would still make him dislike her.

Soon, Zhao Xiyuan interrupted the slightly sad atmosphere: "Okay, there are a total of 583 items in the Xiangyunxuan antique shop, including seven authentic items, 23 imitations, and the rest are crafts. The starting price is 20 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 1 million. Start bidding."

As for the value of these seven genuine items, I won't talk about it. It's possible that one piece is worth hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions. It's a gamble. However, the foundation property of the Xiangyunxuan antique shop alone is worth more than 10 million, so the starting price can't be too low.

"Number 48, twenty-one million."

"Number 62, twenty-two million."

····· Gu Ning was not in a hurry to bid, and waited until the last moment to make a move.

"Number 56, thirty-three million."

When the price reached this point, no one followed, and then it was Gu Ning's turn to appear.

When Gu Ning raised the sign, Leng Shaoting and others looked at her, seemingly confused, yet also as if they understood, but no one said anything.

"Number 31, thirty-four million."

"Number 56, thirty-five million."

"Number 31, thirty-six million."

······ "Number 31, forty-six million."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Finally, the Xiangyunxuan antique shop was bought by Gu Ning for 46 million.

The auction continues.

Finally, it was time for the last item to be auctioned.

"Okay, the first 12 items have all been auctioned off successfully. Now it's finally our turn to auction the finale item, the Song Dynasty official kiln brush washer." As Zhao Xiyuan finished speaking, the official kiln brush washer was brought up: "Okay, guests, the starting price of this Song Dynasty official kiln brush washer is two million, and each bid must not be less than five hundred thousand. Start bidding."

Then, many people held up signs.

"Number 3, two and a half million."

"Number 26, three million."

······ "Number 2, twelve million."

"Twelve million, twelve million, is there a higher price? Twelve million once, twelve million twice, twelve million three times." No one shouted again, the hammer fell, and Zhao Xiyuan said, "Deal, congratulations to guest No. 2, the auction was successful."

The price of a Song Dynasty official kiln brush washer in this auction was only medium to low, and the highest-priced item was sold for over 100 million yuan.

The Detian Auction was about to end. After Zhao Xiyuan said some closing words, the auction was completely over.

"Let's go to Fengling Villa for dinner today. I have already reserved a seat yesterday." Xu Jingchen said.

There are many restaurants under the name of the Xu family, but eating too much will make you tired, and you need to change your taste occasionally. In addition, Xu Jingchen thought that since Gu Ning came to Beijing for the first time, he should take her to eat special and delicious dishes, right? Moreover, Fengling Villa is located halfway up the mountain, with mountains and water, and the scenery is beautiful.
