Chapter 333 Ancient Paintings Damaged 2
Several socialites around Mia immediately expressed their complete hostility towards the woman who suddenly appeared next to President Li.
Mia also felt a little uncomfortable.
However, she had to admit that among all the women in the venue, only the one next to Li Nanli was extremely beautiful.
She was wearing a white cheongsam dotted with a few crabapple petals, and her long black hair was gently tied up.
She seems to have the intellectual beauty of a classical Chinese woman.
But she is not worthy of standing next to Li Nanli!
Old Ford's attention was also attracted by her, but he looked away in an instant and said to Li Nanli: "The last item of the auction tonight will be Youlan."
Li Nanli followed behind him and nodded slightly.
"When will the filming of "Spring River Moon and Flowers" start?" Fu Zhi entered the private room and sat down. Old Ford didn't expect that a small person like her would care about these antiques, calligraphy and paintings. "The last few will appear."
He left the room.
Someone was transporting auction items in the venue below. Fu Zhi's eyes passed over the blue flowers and paused, with a bit of surprise and disbelief.
Two hours later, Jiang Jinshu took a taxi, handed in the invitation letter, and arrived at the auction venue.
By this time the auction was drawing to a close.
"The next item to be auctioned is one-third of the ancient Chinese painting 'Spring River Flowers and Moon'! The starting price is 60 million!" The voice of the auctioneer's hostess spread to every corner.
Inside the transparent glass cover, the originally intact ancient painting was cut into three parts by professionals from the old Ford family before the auction.
The female host's voice slowly sounded, "I believe everyone knows that this is a classic work by Master Xu of the Ming Dynasty. It was once inflated to a value of 480 million. Now the ancient painting has been divided into three parts, which greatly increases the chances for painting lovers to buy it..."
Fu Zhi slowly raised his eyes and narrowed them.
"The old Ford family is really as sanctimonious as ever," Jiang Jinshu frowned. "It sounds nice. The 480 million yuan ancient painting was divided into three lots, and the price was raised three times. Those who didn't get the ancient painting in the first auction are still competitive in the second auction, and those who bought the first lot must collect the other two lots to realize the value of the ancient painting. In this way, the auction will be held at the highest price in each auction, and the final value will probably double."
And most importantly, although the cutting of the ancient paintings has been professionally processed, it is still a kind of damage to the cultural relics.
As he finished speaking, Fu Zhi stood up suddenly and put one hand on the table. Her sudden movement scared Jiang Jinshu so much that he shivered.
The words "Are you sick?" almost came out of my mouth.
Because the next second, he saw Fu Zhi's hand tapping the quotation machine, and his cold voice echoed throughout the entire venue, shocking all the guests in the venue.
"120 million!"
In the private room on the second floor, Mia, who was sitting and chatting with other socialites, was stunned. Even the little sister who wanted to buy this ancient painting for the family turned green in the face.
A painting worth 60 million, and you're going to double my offer?
What are you showing off?
However, what was more surprising than the quotation was that the voice actually came from Li Nanli's private room.
The guests on the first floor were not very competitive, but the guests on the second floor were all from wealthy families. After thinking about it, someone raised the price: "150 million!"
"180 million." Fu Zhi raised the price with a cold face.
Another voice came from another private room, a little trembling, "210 million..."
Fu Zhi: "250 million!"
The auction was quiet for a moment.
This is simply a divine auction.
However, what was even more surprising was that when the second ancient painting was brought to the stage, after the host finished reading the words, the rich woman's voice came from Li Nan's gift box again: "250 million!"
Others: “…”
Are you sick? I asked you to increase the price by 3 million, but I didn’t ask you to increase the price by 3 times the price, do you understand?
It was unknown whether Fu Zhi understood or not, but Jiang Jinshu was furious, "Spending 500 million to buy a painting, you are crazy!" After a pause, he looked at Li Nanli again, and seeing that he frowned, he ignored it and said, "Nanli and I are here to bid for Youlan. Can you afford this money? We won't pay for it!"
Fu Zhi touched the quotation machine and said in a light voice: "I have money."
Jiang Jinshu recalled her relationship with the institute, and then his expression softened, "You still have a conscience."
"But," Fu Zhi added, "it's not enough."
Jiang Jinshu: "...your conscience has been eaten by a dog!"
Fu Zhi was in no mood to pay attention to him. She turned around and looked at Li Nanli. "I have orchids that I can give you. They are better than the ones at the auction. The third auction is about to start. It's too late to ask others to transfer the money. You can lend me 150 million. I can pay you back within five minutes after the auction."
"No!" Jiang Jinshu took the lead and took a deep breath. "What kind of Youlan can a high school student like you have? You are so old, don't take the so-called patriotism so seriously. It's a joke to do such a thing without the money!"
"Jiang Jinshu." A cold and low-pitched voice sounded from behind.
With a warning and strong pressure, "This is the second time."
Jiang Jinshu's body stiffened, he took a deep breath, and said unconvincedly, "Nan Li, the money we brought is only enough to take pictures of Youlan. I know you like her, but you know that our research really needs this Youlan!"
Li Nanli raised his head, his delicate eyebrows and eyes were filled with coldness.
Without saying a word.
A coolness emanated from his entire body.
Jiang Jinshu shut up, nodded, and said, "Okay, Fu Zhi, let me see how you make up for this lie!" Then he walked out of the private room.
On the other side, Mia's private room.
Her best friend looked disappointed. "750 million, I don't even have the chance to appreciate the ancient paintings up close. This woman is so lucky to have Mr. Li buy her paintings..."
Mia didn't like to hear such words praising little internet celebrities. She had always been praised by everyone, and she especially liked Li Nanli. She squeezed her palms and said, "Mr. Li is good friends with our Ford family. You want to see ancient paintings, right? I'll take you to see them."
My girlfriend was a little nervous: "But the painting was photographed, wasn't it?"
"Don't you have money? No matter how precious a painting is, it's just a piece of scrap paper. Only the Chinese people treasure it. In my great-grandfather's time, this thing was just hanging in the kitchen. If she minds you touching it, ask her to give it up and lower the price. Can't you just spend 100 million to buy one?"
Other celebrities also said: "Mr. Li is an excellent man. I believe he will definitely give up his love. He can give up Youlan and the ancient painting for his female companion. Who knows, he may also give it to you."
The little friend didn’t have the confidence that the others did, but thinking of the temptation of the ancient paintings, she couldn’t help but followed Mia.
The transaction point for ancient paintings is behind the auction venue, and the security factor is very high.
When Mia came with her little girlfriend, she was stopped by the staff, "This painting was bought by Mr. Li. It's not appropriate for you to bring someone to see it."
"Get out of the way! This auction is all mine, so of course I have the final say!" Mia said willfully, "I'm just going to appreciate the painting. At most I can pay her back a few hundred million and then buy the painting back!"
"I won't sell it." A cold voice sounded from behind. Fu Zhi walked towards him from a distance with a cold face. The air pressure around him was extremely low, and he had an aura that seemed like he was about to burst into anger at any time.
"What qualifications do you have to challenge me! The auction is mine. If I don't give you the auction item, what can you do?" She was probably jealous. In addition, Fu Zhi didn't say much. She didn't think that the female companion was Fu Zhi. She was just angry and subconsciously raised her voice. "Besides, the money was paid by President Li. President Li didn't come to pick up the ancient painting. Why are you here to bully others?"
Fu Zhi glared at her coldly. The staff in the club came over after hearing the noise. "No, Miss Mia, the money was paid by this lady. President Li only helped to pay 150 million."
"What? She's the only one who can afford to pay?" Mia looked at Fu Zhi in shock.
The staff nodded: "Yes."
Fu Zhi no longer paid attention to Mia and said to the staff, "Your museum's hospitality is rare in my life. Please seal the painting and give it to me as soon as possible."
Mia was upset by Fu Zhi's disdainful attitude. She feels that she and Chinese women are just incompatible!
She reached out her hand, without any safety precautions, to take the ancient painting directly. "We are not selling this painting! We will not sell it to anyone but the Chinese!"
"roll!"
