The appearance of this offer immediately made the atmosphere in the entire hall tense.
Everyone in the audience looked back one after another and cast their gaze in the direction of the VIP box. Although Tang Songyuan could not be seen, they could feel his determination and strength.
"One hundred and twenty million!" In a VIP box on the other side, someone also raised a bidding sign not to be outdone, and the quotations continued to rise.
The bidding war kicked off instantly, with competing bids coming and going, constantly setting new price records.
"One hundred and twenty-three million!"
"One hundred and twenty-five million!"
"One hundred and thirty million..."
The price keeps soaring, and every quotation is accompanied by exclamations and discussions.
Everyone is attracted by this bidding war and looking forward to the final result.
Tang Songyuan sat in the VIP box with a calm expression.
He had already expected that the painting "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" would trigger a bidding frenzy, but he was not panicked at all.
He calmly raised the bidding sign, and every bid appeared calm and firm.
Finally, when the price climbed to 140 million, other bidders began to hesitate.
This price has exceeded their budget and expectations, and also exceeded the transaction price of this painting in 2011.
They begin to weigh the pros and cons and consider whether to continue bidding.
But Tang, Song and Yuan were not affected at all. He had already made up his mind.
No matter how the price rises, he will keep this "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" in his pocket.
After a brief silence, another VIP box quoted again: "One hundred and fifty million!"
At this time, Li Qingying, who was next to Tang Songyuan, suddenly said: "The other party has reached its limit. If Mr. Tang increases the price appropriately, he can easily win this painting."
Tang Songyuan gave her a knowing look and said loudly: "One hundred and fifty-one million!"
Aha?!?
This completely different way of increasing prices left everyone in the audience confused.
The owner of another VIP box who originally participated in the bidding almost spewed blood when he heard the offer.
He had indeed reached his limit, but Tang Songyuan only added ten thousand yuan to his bid, which made him very uncomfortable.
Who am I looking down on? Is it the person who is short of ten thousand yuan who is riding the horse?
But after struggling again and again, he still chose to give up.
The other party obviously still has some strength left, but he has really reached his limit.
Tang Linghua stood on the auction stage and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this scene. In her nearly ten years of career, she had never encountered such a scene.
But as the rules were, she wouldn't say much.
And she also knew that in Box 1 was the owner of this special auction, the boss behind Shengtang Salvage.
After asking the price three times, Tang Linghua dropped the auction hammer heavily.
"One hundred and fifty-one million, deal!"
Tang Linghua's clear voice echoed throughout the auction hall.
It also announced that the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties successfully photographed Wu Guanzhong's "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River".
Xu Beihong's next work "Ba People Drawing Water" also caused a great sensation.
When Tang Linghua stood in the center of the auction table again, the smile on her face became even brighter.
Everyone knows that the next work will definitely be heavyweight.
"Thank you for your enthusiasm. Next, we will display the last traditional Chinese painting work today."
"It is the masterpiece of art master Xu Beihong - "Ba People Drawing Water"!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole place was boiling with excitement, and the enthusiasm of the guests was once again ignited.
Xu Beihong's name is like thunder in the art world, and "Ba People Drawing Water" is one of his masterpieces and is known as a treasure of oriental art.
The screen slowly dropped again, revealing the classic picture.
The images of the Ba people in the painting are vivid, and their movements of fetching and carrying water are lifelike. Every detail shows Xu Beihong's extraordinary observation and painting skills, as well as his compassion for heaven and earth.
Tang Linghua said in a low voice:
"As we all know, Mr. Xu Beihong's "Ba People Drawing Water" is a twin painting, created in 1937 and 1938 respectively."
"When it was first exhibited in 1938, it caused a great sensation and was hailed as a "rare work in five hundred years."
"After seeing it, the then Indian Minister to China was deeply impressed and expressed his intention to purchase it."
"At that time, Xu Beihong was in deep trouble and had a difficult life, so he agreed to redraw "Ba People Drawing Water". This is why this painting has twin paintings."
"The original painting is in Mr. Xu Beihong's exhibition hall, and this one has been circulated several times,"
"Finally appearing in today's auction, this is undoubtedly a precious opportunity for everyone to appreciate the masterpiece of this artistic master up close."
Everyone in the hall had different expressions, some had their eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe that they were about to have the opportunity to own such an artistic treasure;
Some looked thoughtful, as if they were estimating the value of the painting and their bidding strategies.
And those art collectors began to gear up and secretly made up their minds to acquire this masterpiece no matter what.
The bidding process begins again,
Like the previous "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River", the starting price is 100 million, with no limit on price increases.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
This time, Box 3, which originally competed with Tang, Song and Yuan, was the first to quote a shocking price.
The purpose of suddenly increasing the price by 50 million yuan is naturally to scare away some irrelevant or weak people.
But it's only 50 million, which can scare most people, but it does not include Tang, Song and Yuan.
What's more, with Li Qingying helping him, he can control the opponent to death.
"I'll pay...200 million!"
After some calculations between him and Li Qingying, Tang Songyuan finally directly increased the price by 50 million.
Ouch~!
Damn it~! !
"Heavenly Bodhisattva, I'm afraid you are asking for it crazy!"
More than 500 Poly guests in the audience, including Tang Linghua on the stage and Zhang Dehai and other staff behind the scenes, were all amazed by Tang Songyuan's work.
He did not add 50 million to the 100 million, but added another 50 million to the 150 million.
This directly pushed today's auction to a climax.
Everyone was talking a lot, speculating on the identities of the two box owners.
At this time, the owner of box number three spoke,
"Everyone, please give my Zhao family a favor. This painting of Mr. Xu Beihong's "Ba People Drawing Water", my Zhao family is offering 210 million!"
Someone in the audience who didn't know asked: "Zhao family? Which Zhao family?"
"Which other Zhao family could it be? The Zhao family in the devil's capital!"
Tang Songyuan frowned slightly and glanced at Li Qingying next to him.
Li Qingying slumped her shoulders with an indifferent expression.
Tang Songyuan smiled softly and immediately quoted again: "I will pay 220 million!"
