Chapter 56 Auction, win the ancient painting! (8 more ask for automatic subscription)
Under everyone's attention, a beautiful woman came to the front desk with a plate on which was placed a blue and white porcelain.
"Everyone, please see, this is our first auction item. After identification, although it is not a blue-and-white porcelain vase from the Yuan Dynasty, it is only a blue-and-white porcelain vase from the Qing Dynasty, but it was unearthed in an official kiln, so it is still valuable for collection."
"If anyone has an idea for this item, you can start bidding. The starting price is 100,000, and each increase shall not be less than 5,000."9
On the stage, an old man looked at the crowd and said with a smile.
This old man is not simple, his name is Wei Min, and he is the president of Jiangcheng Antiques Association.
There are only a handful of people in Jiangcheng who can invite each other, and it can be seen that the Lin family attaches great importance to this auction.
All the items in the auction were purchased by the Lin family through the Antique Association.
There are good things among them, but they are definitely not many. Many people come to participate in this auction, and they don't really like antiques. They just spend money to show their faces.
"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred and thirty thousand!
"One hundred and fifty thousand!""
As the old man Wei's voice fell, some people began to ask for the price.
Li An just watched the crowd quietly, this time he just came to buy a painting.
"230,000 once, 230,000 twice, 230,000 three times, let us congratulate Mr. Chen Xuan, the CEO of Dechang Group, for winning the first lot."
Soon, when Old Man Wei knocked down the hammer in his hand, a middle-aged man also stood up with a smile on his face, everyone at the scene applauded, and the surrounding reporters also aimed their cameras at each other.
Then there is the second lot, an ancient jade with a corner missing. It was purchased for more than thirty thousand and 170,000 yuan. The person who bought it also got up and showed his face again.
Then the third, the fourth...
There are not a lot of lots, Li An knew before that there will be more than 100 lots in this auction.
However, these auctions are not really worth much, most people only ask for hundreds of thousands, and very few of them are in the millions.
Li An calculated it, and the total price of this auction will be 40 to 50 million.
This amount of money is naturally nothing to Fenglin Group, and donating it will not have much impact, but it can also gain a good reputation.
Capital Calculations!
"Next is the sixty-third lot. This is an ancient painting, and it is the painting "Spring Full of Flowers and Moon" by Rong Yan, a painter in the Song Dynasty. Ten thousand."
When he heard this, Li An, who was already a little bored, suddenly came to his senses. He came this time for this painting.
The starting bid of one million made the scene a little quieter.
Although everyone is not short of money, they don't want to give money away in vain.
Old Man Wei was not in a hurry, and still looked at the crowd with a smile on his face.
If no one opens the auction in the end, the Lin family has already arranged people, and there will be no embarrassing situation of passing the auction.
Just when Li An was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded.
"one million!
A middle-aged man stood up, Li An looked at the sound, and knew that it was Ye Chengfeng, the CEO of Chenfeng Group.
"The system seems to have said that in the end, Ye Chengfeng spent three million to buy this painting.
Check out the business trends refreshed before the system.
Li An understood that if he hadn't shot, the painting would definitely fall into Ye Chengfeng's hands.
"1.2 million!
"One and a half million! 99
"One hundred and seventy thousand!"
As Ye Chengfeng opened his mouth, the people who had been silent just now became active again, and another person got up and started bidding.
In just a few minutes, the price has soared to 2.6 million.
"three million!"
At this time, Ye Chengfeng got up to bid again, and everyone's eyes fell on the other party.
And the bosses who just made the bid hesitated for a while, then shook their heads, indicating that they had given up.
"Three million once, three million twice, is anyone still asking for the price? Three million..."
"Three million one hundred thousand!"
Just as the hammer in Old Man Wei's hand was about to fall, a voice sounded in the arena, and everyone showed a surprised look.
Although this painting is really good, 3 million is considered a sky-high price. I didn't expect that there would be people who would follow the price.
Especially when everyone saw that the bidder was Li An, many people were puzzled, when did Mr. Li start to study ancient paintings.
Li An looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, let alone three million, even if it was five million or even ten million, he would still win it.
Anyway, in the end, it can be sold to Zhang Mingfa at a price of 60 million.
"Three million three hundred thousand!"
Ye Chengfeng saw that it was Li An's bid, he hesitated for a while, but followed.
"Three and a half million!"
Ye Chengfeng's voice just fell, and Li An's voice also sounded.
"Since President Li likes it, let it be left to President Li.
Ye Chengfeng looked at Li An and said with a smile, then sat back in his seat.
"3.5 million, sold, congratulations to Mr. Li An, CEO of Blue Sky Jewelry Group, for winning this lot.
Old Man Wei also knew that no one would bid at this time, so he directly announced the result.
"Mr. Li, when did you like ancient paintings?"
The old ghost looked at Li An and asked in a low voice. He followed Li An for a long time, and he had never seen him like this.
"It's just that this ancient painting looks pleasing to the eye, so I bought it, and the auction is halfway through. If you don't buy something, it will be a bit of a shame for our company.
Li An said casually.
"waste money!"
Tang Xiyun rolled his eyes, even if he really wanted to save face for the company, he didn't need to spend more than three million yuan, it would cost only a few hundred thousand.
Li An smiled without explaining, and continued to watch the auction proceed.
Subsequent auctions will proceed normally without any surprises.
However, Li An was a little surprised by the finale auction item, which fetched a price of more than 10 million yuan.
"Thank you for being able to participate in this auction today. This auction was a complete success. We have re-prepared delicious wine and food downstairs. You can go downstairs to rest first.
Following Lin Haibo's last speech, the crowd began to leave.
At the same time, there are also many people who have just auctioned things and go to pay to get things.
"Come on, let's go too."
Li An and the old ghost walked towards the back of the villa under the guidance of the staff.
"Mr. Li, this is the calligraphy and painting you just auctioned."
Seeing Li An coming, Lin Yu handed it to Li An with a calligraphy and painting.
Li An nodded and unfolded the calligraphy and painting directly. After confirming that it was correct, he paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other hand.
"By the way, where is Mr. Wei?"
Li An asked.
"Elder Wei is resting there. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Li?"
"I want to ask about calligraphy and painting.
"No problem, I'll take President Li there.
Saying that, Lin Yu led the way in front, leading the three of them towards the inside.
"Mr. Wei, this is President Li. He said he wanted to ask you about calligraphy and painting."5
In front of Wei Min, Lin Yu introduced Li An.
"Li An Xiaoyou, I have heard your name for a long time, you are a young talent in our Jiangcheng, especially your achievements in business, which make many people of your age look up to you.
Looking at Li An, Wei Min smiled kindly and said that although he is not in business, he still knows about Li An.
"Elder Wei, you're very polite, I take the liberty to interrupt this time because I want to ask Mr. Wei to do me a favor.
Li An said and handed the calligraphy and painting he just bought to Wei Min.
With doubts in his eyes, Wei Min unfolded the scroll and looked at it carefully, but found nothing wrong.
"Li An, what do you mean? Do you think this painting is fake?"
"Mr. Li, you are not being kind, the auction items we took out are absolutely genuine.
Li An hadn't spoken yet, but Lin Yu next to him spoke up.
If it is rumored that there are fake things in this auction, then the reputation of their Lin family will also be ruined.
If this kind of auction is held in the future, no one will come again.
"Don't get excited, you two, I didn't say that this painting is fake, I just wanted to ask Mr. Wei to help unframe this ancient painting. 99
Li An smiled wryly.
"Uncovering? Little friend Li An, this ancient painting is well preserved, so there is no need to unframe it.
Wei Min frowned.
Unpacking refers to the process of re-mounting the mounted calligraphy and painting due to their age and improper preservation.
Rice paper is made in layers. A piece of ordinary rice paper can be split into two or three layers, and good rice paper can even be split into ten layers.
Some ancient calligraphy and paintings can be revived by unpacking.
However, the technology of unmasking is complicated, and the calligraphy and painting will be damaged by a little carelessness, resulting in irreparable losses.
As the president of Jiangcheng Antiques Association, Wei Min is very good at uncovering the mounts, which is why Li An finds each other.
But Wei Min couldn't figure it out. If there was something wrong with the ancient painting in front of him, it would be reasonable to ask him to unframe it.
But this ancient painting is obviously well preserved, and there is no need to unpack it at all.
"Elder Wei, it's inconvenient for me to say more about the reason, and you'll know it after you unmask it.
Li An said with a smile.
"Li An Xiaoyou, I think you should think about it again. Although I know you are not short of money, this ancient painting is only one piece less if you lose one piece. 99
Wei Min continued to persuade, but Li An had already taken the scales, and no amount of persuasion was useless.
"Okay, since the little friend is so determined, then I will help the little friend, but the unmasking process is complicated, and the little friend will have to wait a few days."
Wei Min sighed and said, and he was also a little curious about why Li An was so resolute in revealing the frame. Could it be that there is some mystery in it?
"Thank you, Wei Wei.
Handing over the ancient painting to Wei Min, and chatting with the other party for a few more words, Li An also walked outside with Tang Xiyun and the two.
"Mr. Li, although we are rich now, we can't be so prodigal, more than three million!
Tang Xiyun looked at Li An and whispered, in her eyes, the current Li An is indeed a prodigal.
I don't like ancient paintings, but I have to auction them, and after I buy them, I have to risk the ancient paintings being destroyed and unframed...
"Little Tang, remember what you said today, and after Mr. Wei's unmasking is over, you'll know why I'm your boss."
Li An laughed, without much explanation.
