He turned his head slightly and looked at his son who remained expressionless beside him, then continued to look at his wife. The two seemed to have telepathic connection and their eyes met.
The two exchanged a lot of information with their eyes, but in the end they didn't speak.
The things were bought by my son, and the money was paid by him... Why is he raising the sign again?
Seeing Xia Yu participating in a new auction, the two looked at the screen and saw the guqin displayed on it.
Looking at the stock price in the brochure, this is a huge amount, several million Hong Kong dollars!
What's a few million Hong Kong dollars? Xia Yu bought that Italian gun for several million Euros, which was a bargain. These days, poor people are not worthy of learning music.
"Bang~~"
"Congratulations once again to the buyer of A22!"
Xia Yu bought this guqin for four million Hong Kong dollars. Because it was not very popular, not many people participated in the bidding, and no one bid when the price reached the estimated price.
Alas, their family is not only a family of scholars, but also a family of music. If he doesn't take action, this guqin might be left unsold!
Xia Yu made the bid first and then brought two people to compete, but they were not very interested.
"Mom, do you want to learn piano?"
“I won’t learn!”
Lin Shuqin knew what was going on as soon as she heard it and refused in a bad mood.
"Just learn it. I'm so good at music, so you must be no bad either, Mom."
Women should be praised, and it’s never wrong to praise them.
"That's not necessarily true. I'm clumsy."
"Cooking is different from playing the piano. Cooking is about controlling the heat, while playing the piano is about rhythm. I'll find a teacher for you when we get back. Even if you learn a little bit, it will be a bonus."
Xia Yu began to deceive.
"Then I'll try it when I get back?"
Lin Shuqin was moved.
After seeing how confident Xia Yu was on stage, she, as a mother, felt a little envious.
"That's right, try it!"
After successfully fooling people, Xia Yu turned his attention back to the auction. It was the turn of the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln celadon glaze tea cup that he liked.
As an absolute masterpiece, the estimated value of this teacup is between 30 and 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and the transaction price will definitely exceed that.
Is it worth spending half a billion just to drink tea?
Xia Yu thinks it's worth it, because money can't buy my happiness!
As soon as the filming started, the battle became tense. The budget increased from 30 million to 40 million, then to 45 million and 48 million.
"Fifty million! Fifty million for the first time!"
When the auctioneer shouted this, Xia Yu finally made his move.
"Fifty-one million!"
Lin Shuqin and Lao Xia were shocked. They could accept spending 1 billion to buy a house, but spending more than 50 million to buy a teacup was beyond their imagination. However, the auction had not ended yet.
"Fifty-three million!"
Someone seemed to like this teacup more than Xia Yu.
"Fifty-five million!"
Xia Yu raised the bid again.
The other party was immediately captivated, looked at Xia Yu, and quickly made a phone call.
It can be seen that this is an agent, and this price has exceeded the latest authorization he has obtained. Whether to raise the price will be decided by the buyer behind the scenes.
"Fifty-five million for the first time?"
The auctioneer continued to ask, but in the end there was no response from the other party.
"Once again, let us congratulate the buyer of A22."
Thunderous applause broke out, and everyone was very respectful. Even some of those who had afternoon tea together that day recognized Xia Yu and his parents.
He is young and promising, with many talents. It doesn't mean that he will become a great man, but that he has already achieved success.
The auction continued, and it was the turn of a Southern Song Dynasty Longquan powder green glaze paper hammer bottle, the color of which matched his Ru porcelain tea cup very well.
Do you want to take it down too?
Since you have the idea, just take it. Put it aside while drinking tea, put a bunch of camellia flowers in it, and feel the reincarnation of tea. It is quite artistic.
Xia Yu joined the competition again. His parents beside him were already a little numb. This brat came to the auction to buy things. This was his fourth item.
In fact, out of the more than 20 pieces of collection in the entire special topic, he only liked these four. However, the most popular one was the "Wood and Stone Picture" that was auctioned next. The previous ones were just to hype up the entire auction, and the highlight was only this one.
There are only two paintings by Su Dongpo in existence today, and you can imagine how precious they are. One is "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Rock" collected in the China Art Museum, and the other is "Dead Tree, Bamboo and Rock, Wen Tong Ink Bamboo Scroll" collected in the Shanghai Museum.
Everyone has used the idiom "having a bamboo in mind" in elementary school, but few people know that it comes from Su Dongpo, who was an expert in painting bamboo and rocks. The third painting appeared today, and there must have been a fierce battle.
But is this painting real?
Xia Yu couldn't help but have doubts in his mind.
The auction is not 100% authentic, just like an umbrella cannot block an attack 100% of the time. He doesn't join in the fun because he doesn't understand, but do people who understand really understand?
If his system was a bargain hunting system, he would definitely be able to tell the real from the fake, but the super rich system only allows him to have the ability to buy it regardless of whether it is real or fake.
Xia Yu didn't want to be a sucker, so he chose not to get involved, but others didn't care so much, and "Wood and Stone Picture" officially started filming.
Unlike before, this time only those with special golden license plates can participate in the auction. They did not buy the skin, but paid a deposit to Christie's.
The starting price starts at HK$380 million. At the request of the client, the deposit ratio is increased to 40% to prevent malicious bidding.
It is common sense to pay a deposit at an auction, but 40% is quite rare.
Just when Xia Yu was complaining in his heart, someone made a bid.
“390 million!”
The other party was a foreigner, and after he made his bid, no one bid for a long time.
