Tang Songyuan quickly stopped him and said, "You're welcome, Minister Zhang. We are old friends. What I say is that we all get what we need. It's no big deal."
Zhang Dehai shook his head and said: "I still have to thank you, but I really admire Mr. Tang's boldness and magnanimity."
"Where where..."
After another exchange of business blows, Tang, Song and Yuan said goodbye to Zhang Dehai and left Poly Auction House.
The next day, the special auction of salvage from the Tang Dynasty continued as scheduled.
Tang Songyuan only brought Li Qingying to participate.
Yang Sijia, Meng Jingwen and Ye Jinghuan all have their own work to do.
Besides, the impact of the vice president of the group and several company executives not playing mahjong in the auction box was really not good.
Today, people from the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties came here precisely for the two traditional Chinese paintings that Zhang Dehai mentioned.
Since gaining clairvoyance, Tang Songyuan has seen and come into contact with a lot of treasures.
There are a lot of porcelain, jades, emeralds, jewelry, gold coins, etc. Even in the warehouses of the Tang Dynasty, they were piled up like mountains.
But there is not a single piece of Chinese style calligraphy and painting.
Not to mention the top Chinese paintings.
There are more than a dozen Western-style oil paintings, but the skills of the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties were limited and they could not be appreciated.
Today’s auction is almost as lively as yesterday’s.
The auction hall was brightly lit, crowded, and filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.
Although it was only one day apart, today's auction was significantly different from yesterday.
Yesterday's auction items were mostly antique porcelain and precious jewelry provided by Shengtang Salvage. Today's themes are more diverse.
In particular, the addition of two exquisite Chinese paintings made the entire auction more artistic.
However, in order to avoid overestimation and because Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties showed strong interest in these two traditional Chinese paintings, Poly did not conduct too much publicity on these two traditional Chinese paintings.
Only part of the information about these two works is accidentally displayed on the rolling bulletin boards in the corridors on both sides of the hall.
He didn't say that he would participate in this special shoot, nor did he say that he wouldn't, leaving a suspense.
But both Tang Songyuan and Li Qingying knew that it would definitely appear as the finale of the auction.
The two of them were sitting in the box and could clearly see every corner of the auction hall.
The guests below were whispering to each other, discussing, or discussing the popularity of yesterday's auction.
Or discussing those rare auction items that may appear today,
Or just guess the possibility and value of those two mysterious Chinese paintings...
The auction started, and the auctioneer Tang Linghua changed into a professional suit, which was in contrast to her dress yesterday.
The first display is still porcelain, jewelry, jewelry and other antique artworks sent during the Tang Dynasty.
The bidding process is also still hot.
Thanks to Poly's publicity efforts, the antiques and jewelry salvaged from the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the special auctions are all the focus of competition.
The appearance of each collection can trigger a small bidding boom.
However, in the eyes of Tang, Song and Yuan, these were just passing clouds.
His goal was only those two Chinese paintings, and he was determined to get them.
Time passed, and finally, the host Tang Linghua announced in an excited tone:
"Dear distinguished guests, today we have brought you a special session. I believe you have been waiting for it for a long time."
"Two classic works of Chinese painting will be the finale of this auction."
"They not only represent the essence of Chinese culture, but are also the pinnacle of traditional Chinese painting art."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall. People whispered to each other and discussed the value and possibility of these two works.
"Let me tell you, since Poly put them on the bulletin board, maybe they will appear as the finale!" said an old man with neatly styled hair.
Others said: "Wu Guanzhong's painting style is unique in China and even in the world. His freehand form of traditional Chinese painting combines Western abstraction and pioneered the Chinese aesthetics of abstraction..."
Some people also said: "Wu Lao's paintings are easy to understand! Both masters and ordinary people can understand them."
Tang Linghua paused for a moment and scanned every corner of the hall, seeing the expectant and nervous expressions on everyone's faces.
She smiled with satisfaction and continued:
"I believe everyone has guessed that one of the traditional Chinese paintings we will be showing at the finale today is Mr. Wu Guanzhong's "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River"!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on the screen above the auction table, looking forward to the true face of the mysterious Chinese painting of Mount Lu.
The screen slowly fell down, revealing a Chinese painting with vivid charm and horizontal strokes. Although it was an oil painting, the technique was ink and wash, and the painting style was also that of Chinese painting.
Although it is only a partial close-up, the delicate brushstrokes and vivid colors can also make you feel the painter's extraordinary talent and the unique charm of the work.
It is Wu Guanzhong's "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River".
At the same time, two waitresses wearing cheongsam came to the stage holding a long scroll, and then unfolded it in front of the public.
The five-meter-long scroll was displayed in front of everyone.
Everyone in the audience was in an uproar again.
"Okay, what a great painting!"
"It is already majestic and subtle, the mountains and rivers are magnificent and full of vitality! What a great painting!"
The painting is done vigorously, horizontally and straightly, with the peaks and valleys exposed, the dry and wet shades, all done in one go!
In the VIP box, Tang Songyuan also opened up his perspective, appraising the paintings on the stage and appreciating them in more detail.
It was also confirmed that this painting is the original work of Wu Guanzhong.
Li Qingying, who was on the side, saw Tang Songyuan's excited expression and said with a smile: "This painting is more than five meters long. It is just right in the center of the hall of Mr. Tang's new residence in Sheshan Ziyuan..."
Tang Songyuan laughed and said, "Yes, that's what I thought."
Li Qingying added: "When this painting was originally created, it was designed as a banner mural."
"Placing it in Mr. Tang's new residence will complement each other..."
Tang Linghua on the stage had a good grasp of the rhythm. Seeing that the discussion was almost complete and the atmosphere was in place, she smiled again and said:
"It seems that everyone is very optimistic about this work. Now I announce that this is Mr. Wu Guanzhong's "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River"."
"The starting price is 100 million yuan! There is no limit on price increases!"
As soon as Tang Linghua finished speaking, the entire auction hall suddenly became excited.
There were noisy discussions in the audience, and the guests who were interested in the painting also squeezed the bidding cards in their hands, and a fierce bidding war was about to begin.
At this moment, the clear and magnetic voices of Tang, Song and Yuan rang out from the VIP box upstairs at the back.
"One hundred and ten million..."
Tang Songyuan's voice echoed throughout the auction hall through the loudspeaker system, instantly igniting the bidding enthusiasm at the scene.
