Chapter 165 The opening is a billion
Chen Fan is sitting at this table.
Tang Qingying looked regretful and said, "Mr. Chen, have you given up?"
Not even Tang Qingying is immune to such a dazzling diamond as 'Sky Blue'.
If Chen Fan takes a photo of this diamond, maybe she can take a closer look at it.
"There's no rush, let Mr. Yuan be proud first." Chen Fan smiled lightly and pointedly said: "There are a few more items to be auctioned later!"
Tang Qingying was a little confused.
Chen Fan didn't explain, and watched the auctioneer introduce the next lot, a high-quality porcelain bowl from Ge Kiln.
At this point, there are not many items left in the auction, but there should be one good thing for the finale.
Chen Fan gave Xiao Xuan the number plate and asked her to help bid.
Soon, he asked Xiao Xuan to shout out the price of 30 million, causing most people to retreat.
But as expected, as soon as Chen Fan made a bid, the wealthy young men around Yuan Liangping began to bid to prevent him from getting this fine piece of porcelain.
After the price got stuck at 48 million, Chen Fan asked Xiao Xuan to abandon the auction.
However, this price is far too high, at least half of the market price.
The next few items are all like this.
Whenever Chen Fan asks Xiao Xuan to bid, he will be suppressed, resulting in the transaction price being double or even several times higher than the normal market value.
Chen Fan turned around and saw Yuan Liangping sneered at him with pride, as if to say that Chen Fan would not be able to take any pictures.
Dai Yunsen, who had been tired for a long time, also cheered up and began to mock Chen Fan.
In a blink of an eye, the auction came to an end.
Chen Fan took a look at the auction album and saw that there was only one final lot left.
"The grand finale of this auction is Wang Xizhi's cursive calligraphy - peace note!" the auctioneer said as he introduced the last item, his expression became excited.
This lot was indeed worthy of his excitement because its price was unparalleled.
"Friends who have a little knowledge of calligraphy will be familiar with the name Wang Xizhi. What is being auctioned today is his cursive calligraphy works on silk."
"This cursive script on silk was sold at an auction in Beijing for 300 million yuan ten years ago!"
"This post is reproduced today. The starting price is 200 million. Each increase will be no less than 10 million. The bidding begins!"
Following the auctioneer's introduction, the entire venue was in a state of shock!
Ten years ago, the transaction price was 300 million, so what will the price be today, ten years later?
I don’t know which company produced this work, it’s really a shame.
The transaction price ten years ago was definitely at a premium. But even so, the value of this calligraphy work will never be less than 300 million in ten years.
It was placed at the end as the finale, and it was well deserved.
And in terms of collection value, the "Blue Sky" that was just sold for 700 million is far from comparable to this "Peace Note".
Of course, the starting price of 200 million also makes most people sigh and sigh, and they can only live for their eyes.
"Tsk tsk..."
Xiao Xuan murmured, feeling that the boundaries of her understanding of the world had been broken!
Chen Fan turned his head and looked at Xu Shengqing at the next table.
This work was undoubtedly released for him.
Because Mr. Chen likes calligraphy and painting the most, and among calligraphy and painting, he likes calligraphy even more.
Even Mr. Chen would be excited and happy if he got Wang Xizhi's authentic work.
Only this time, Chen Fan had no intention of playing with them!
He looked up at the stage and saw two beauties unfolding the "Peace Note" in front of everyone.
The cursive script on it is beautiful and beautiful.
In addition, there are dense seals stamped on it.
These seals were collected by famous collectors in the past dynasties, including many masters of calligraphy and painting. For example, Wen Zhengming, the master of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty, was extremely fond of this seal and left several seals.
It is said that Wen Zhengming insisted that this post was authentic!
But in fact, there are many opinions about this calligraphy and painting. Some people say that it was a copy by a famous calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, while others say that it was a copy of Mi Fu, a great master of calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty.
In any case, the artistic value of this "Peace Note" is unparalleled, and its market value is beyond imagination.
The transaction price of 300 million yuan ten years ago caused a sensation at the time, but no one said that this work was not worth the price of 300 million yuan.
The auction started, but surprisingly, no one bid at the scene and fell into silence.
"I'll pay 210 million!"
After a brief silence, a voice broke the silence.
The bidding instantly became fierce.
Those holding placards were all guests in the first row.
Although most people expected that the "Peace Note" was prepared for Young Master Xu, they still couldn't help but give it a try first.
It wouldn't be a loss if we could take the "Peace Note" first and then transfer it to Xu Shengqing at the auction price.
So, after rounds of bidding, the auction price quickly reached 300 million.
"Four hundred million!"
Xu Shengqing and Yuan Liangping whispered a few words and raised their placards to quote.
Directly added 100 million.
Although his heart was a little trembling after being quoted this price, this masterpiece was indeed worth the price.
His cash flow was no longer enough to buy the work, but he still had to get it.
As soon as he spoke out, no one raised his placard to bid.
400 million is a more appropriate price. If we compete for more, if we can't get it, we will just be at odds with Mr. Xu and Mr. Yuan.
Moreover, a cash payment of 400 million is actually stressful for the local wealthy families in Hangjiang.
The guests in the audience were talking, but the previous bidders had all stopped.
The auctioneer looked around and glanced at Chen Fan inadvertently.
He saw Chen Fan talking to Xiao Xuan, which made his heart skip a beat and he felt something was wrong.
He began to repeat: "Master Xu bids 400 million, 400 million once!"
At this moment, his eyes suddenly condensed.
I saw a woman standing up and holding her number plate high.
It was none other than Xiao Xuan.
Her pretty face was red, her body was trembling slightly, and her legs were trembling slightly.
"The lady on No. 188 made a bid!"
The auctioneer felt a pain in his heart, but he still spoke loudly.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Xuan, just like the time when she rushed to shoot "Canglan Tu".
"Ten...billion!"
With a trembling voice, Xiao Xuan said a number.
"What?"
The auctioneer was speechless.
In the entire venue, all discussions suddenly disappeared, and the scene became silent.
One billion?
A one-time price increase of 600 million?
Did you hear this wrong, or has the world gone crazy?
Is 600 million already so worthless?
Xu Shengqing's body trembled when he heard this, and he stared at Chen Fan with wide eyes.
I didn’t expect that Chen Fan would come up with this final auction item.
Xiao Xuan, who was under the gaze of all eyes, was blushing and extremely excited.
Everyone was silent.
Slowly, eyes focused on Xu Shengqing, waiting for him to give an answer.
Chapter completed!
