Chapter 415 I'll Give You Half
Among the telephone buyers, No. 34 and No. 79 were the most persistent and pursued relentlessly. The rich man’s No. 815 was also active twice, but later he probably found that he could not compete with others, so he quietly withdrew.
As Liu Lan listened to the number that kept rising and soon even exceeded her expected price, she felt her heart rate quicken. She wondered if this was the feeling of getting rich suddenly that Zhou Budai had described.
After the price of the seal script version of Yunyang Ding soared to 600,000, the frequency of bids from buyers became lower and lower, and the auctioneer's bidding time became longer and longer. The transaction price of Wuxie was the first, and it became a benchmark. Everyone had to refer to this price when bidding.
He Lushen was determined to get this piece of work. He was a big fan of Liu Lan's seal script, and he wanted a calligraphy piece as majestic as the "Xiao Yao You" hanging in Yu Zhan's living room. He was also very confident that as long as Yu Zhan didn't compete with him, no one present could beat his price. As a result, Yu Zhan sent him a WeChat message, asking him not to bid anymore, and to let Liu Lan write a piece of calligraphy for him privately.
He Lushen replied: “???”
"You can read Weibo yourself."
At this critical moment of the auction, why read Weibo!
However, He Lushen still did as he was told. He opened the Weibo App and saw the shocking headline that swept the hot search list:
#Auction: Overbearing CEO spends a fortune on internet celebrity#
...
...
#The truth! Prince Huaguang falls in love with the goddess of Hanfu#
#Is Liu Man Mr. He's next love?#
He Lushen: “…”
He felt pain in his balls.
He stopped Cheng Sheng who was about to bid, "Okay, I won't buy it."
Cheng Sheng: "???"
What is this young master doing? He just swore that he would definitely get a film for him, so how come he suddenly becomes as boring as a sage?
It’s not a good question to ask now, but since He Lushen doesn’t want it, Cheng Sheng won’t get involved.
No. 235's aggressiveness came to an abrupt end. The auctioneer looked in their direction in surprise. Could it be that He Lushen thought the price was too high?
He had a list in his hand, which was a list of buyers of high status selected by the auction company, asking them to pay more attention and not say the wrong thing and offend people. The name No. 235 was "He Lushen", with the note: Vice President of Huaguang.
After He Lushen stopped bidding, only two telephone buyers, No. 34 and No. 79, were left competing. After some bargaining, buyer No. 34 finally won Liu Man's seal version of "Yunyang Ding" at a high price of 748,000 yuan. This was the highest price so far in the auction. The buyer readily transferred the subscription money to the auction company's account.
Obviously, this was a fair and free transaction. Liu Man's works were sold at a high price without having to find someone to help. The seat where the young man sat before was now empty, and most of the other authors left out out of shame. The young man's calligraphy works will hardly enter the auction market in the future.
Now it is Liu Lan's third work, the regular script version of "Yunyang Ding". Buyers who know Liu Lan a little know that she has just learned regular script, or people who are more knowledgeable about calligraphy can see at a glance that her handwriting is very immature and far inferior to her seal script. But overall, this piece of calligraphy is still elegant and neat, with a bit of her unique personal style.
When the auctioneer called out the starting price of 35,000 yuan, many non-professional wealthy buyers rushed to increase the bid, because the starting price was cheap and the bidding step was only 2,000 yuan, which was a good deal. Anyway, it would be pleasing to the eye to hang it on the wall. They were not professional calligraphy appraisers and did not need to use a magnifying glass to look at it, so why not grab one?
At this time, He Lushen was as silent as Yu Zhan, and buyer No. 34 was not interested and never called again.
