Chapter 33 Hype
Hearing this, Gao Qiu and Director Sun looked at each other and smiled.
Then Sun Dedong gave Gao Qiu a determined look, indicating that everything was well arranged.
The three of them drove to Xishi Langya Auction House. Today is the auction time once a month.
Langya Auction House is a well-known auction center in Shaanxi Province. Famous paintings and antiques from various cities compete for the top spot, and they are very coveted for Langya's top spot.
The auction items that make it to the top of Langya's list are all worth tens of millions.
As the capital city of Shaanxi Province, Xishi’s urban heritage and profound culture make it a match for many cities with rich historical documents.
After a three-hour drive, the three finally arrived at Langya Auction House.
Thanks to Sun Detong's mediation, the three of them successfully passed the security check and entered the auction house. Gao Qiu went through the handover process with the auction house staff.
Then, people holding number plates walked towards the auditorium one after another, waiting for the collection to start shooting.
The three golfers were arranged in a private room in the stands and served tea as a gesture of hospitality.
Fan Wei's excited hands were sweating, but Gao Qiu and Sun Detong were confident.
The scene was noisy, but everyone calmed down when a beautiful woman in professional attire walked out of the stage.
"Welcome all bosses to Langya Auction House, I am Auctioneer No. 09..."
"I wish you all a successful bid. Today we have a total of 18 auction items. Let's start with our first item, blue and white porcelain, which is the work of Wen Yimin, a master of art from Shaanxi Province. The starting price is 1 million."
On the big screen, Gao Qiu saw that the blue and white porcelain textures were exquisite and mysterious, and the master's style was indeed not in vain.
"1.5 million."
"2 million."
"2.6 million."
"3.1 million."
"3.8 million."
The bidding in the auditorium was fierce. When an old man shouted 3.8 million on the 32nd, no one on the scene shouted the bid. The auctioneer confirmed it three times, and finally the mysterious blue and white porcelain flower fell on the 32nd.
The second lot was a seated statue of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. The starting price was 2 million, and the final price was 6 million.
The third lot was a boxwood vajra prong, with a starting price of 400,000 and a final sale price of 2.1 million.
…
"Now is the 17th lot, picture scroll: swallowing mountains and rivers with anger."
When the auctioneer introduced Fan Wei's paintings, the three golfers in the stand's private room instantly became nervous.
"Mountains and rivers are in turmoil, trying to turn the tide. This lot is a special lot in today's auction house. The painter is a pig butcher, and his father is a firefighter. In a fire, he was trapped in the sea of fire to save the people and never came out. His mother suffered from cancer early.
After his death, the artist used his knife-wielding hand to draw ingenious pictures of mountains and rivers, which can be called a folk master..."
During the auctioneer's impassioned speech, Fan Wei cried silently, and Gao Qiu on the side patted his shoulder to express relief.
What the auctioneer said was Fan Wei's true life experience, but it was modified by golf balls to make it more eye-catching.
"The starting price is 200,000, start bidding."
Just when the hearts of the three golfers were in suspense, the scene was completely silent, and there was not even a sound of discussion in the audience.
There was embarrassment in the silent air.
It is a great gift for an unknown Fan Wei painting to be admitted to Langya Auction House, and the starting price is only 200,000 yuan. For a country man with a meat stall with a daily revenue of 20 yuan, it is a joke in itself.
No one answered at the scene, which meant that Fan Wei's painting was not going to be auctioned, and the first artist created by Golf died in his infancy.
But how could golf let this happen?
I saw a slight smile on his lips. At this time, the auctioneer's voice sounded again.
"Because this is a special item for our auction house, if no one bids at the scene, our auction house is willing to collect it at a price of 300,000, and it will be placed at the top of the Langya list this time."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Langya is the most prestigious auction house in the entire Shaanxi Province. If he wants to collect a piece of calligraphy and painting that is not a famous person, he will not accept calligraphy and painting that has no commercial value. If it is just for feelings, 300,000 yuan will not be accepted.
The sky-high price has created a trend for Langya to be benevolent, but to be written into the history of Langya on par with Langya's top auction item is shocking.
"380,000!"
Just when the auctioneer was about to put Fan Wei's paintings into Langya's library, the exciting moment came!
"500000!"
"800 000!"
"1.1 million!"
"1.8 million!"
"2.3 million!"
"2.6 million!"
Every time the price was called, the crowd screamed!
Gao Qiu and Sun Detong were all smiles. Fan Wei felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. The three of them stood up excitedly at the same time.
"3000000!"
Suddenly, a voice silenced the whole place.
It has no reputation at all, not to mention the collection value. The technique and basic skills of the painting cost 300,000 yuan, which is already a blind donor. He would only bid if his brain was blown. But 3 million yuan is already the most unbelievable price in Langya’s decades-long history.
s price.
A middle-aged man sat in the front seat in a polite manner. He raised the No. 1 sign and instantly became the focus of the audience.
Seeing this, Gao Qiu and Sun Detong smiled.
"Three million once!"
"Three million twice!"
"Three times for 3 million, the sale was completed. Congratulations to guest No. 1 for winning Lot No. 17. Congratulations on Swallowing the Mountains and Rivers."
After the beautiful host finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
A calligraphy and painting worth 3 million yuan is considered to be in the middle and lower reaches of the collection world, but Fan Wei is just an amateur, and it is a bit incredible that a painting by an amateur can be sold for 3 million yuan.
Whether it is out of sentiment or to support newcomers, 3 million newcomers and new works are already the first in the world.
When there was thunderous applause, the three golfers hugged each other excitedly.
The name of the painter "Fan Wei" also showed its prestige at today's Langya auction.
"It's really exciting. Now, all the bosses, please get ready to welcome the finale of our auction."
The auctioneer was also very excited. Lot 17 was the most incredible and exciting journey of her career.
"The Zhouyi teapot of the Western Zhou Dynasty is 58 centimeters high and weighs 16 kilograms. The starting price is 15 million."
As soon as the bronze ware with a history of more than 200 years appeared, the whole audience was in an uproar. The final auction item this month was actually a bronze ware.
"16 million."
"17 million."
…
"23 million."
"23.5 million."
When Lot 18 reached 23.5 million, it had already exceeded the estimated price. However, needless to say, it has a collection value. Buyers know very well that the gold content is extremely high.
"24 million."
Suddenly, a simple woman shouted the price domineeringly on No. 76.
At this price, no one in the audience shouted again. In the end, the auctioneer gave the hammer, and the bronze with a transaction price of 24 million took the top spot on the Langya list in September.
This auction was an eye-opener for the three golfers, and they couldn't help but sigh, there are so many rich people!
Fan Wei, who has always been low-key, sat in the car rushing to the town and county late at night and sang a song, which made Gao Qiu and Sun Detong laugh.
Everyone was in a good mood along the way, but Gao Qiu's words instantly broke the strong and happy atmosphere in the car.
Chapter completed!
