"The price for Watt is so high at one time? Is it inevitable that he will win it?"
"Humph, the British are very cunning. Does he think he can scare away competitors like this?"
"That is, how could our Chinese national treasure be taken away so easily by the British?"
"I'll pay you fifty thousand!"
At this moment, a wealthy Chinese businessman started bidding.
Watt thought for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and called out the price again: "Eighty thousand oceans!"
This call directly capped the price. Duobao Pavilion's quote was 80,000 oceans, and Watt directly offered 80,000 oceans.
The people around Watt looked solemn.
Because of Duobao Pavilion's quotation, you can definitely make a profit of less than 80,000 yuan without losing any money. But after 80,000 yuan, you need to think about it.
But many people are unwilling to let China's national treasure fall into the hands of foreigners so easily. Finally, a wealthy Chinese businessman started bidding again: "Ninety thousand yuan!"
"Wow, ninety thousand?"
There was an uproar at the scene.
Duanwu glanced at the Chinese businessmen and thought to himself: I forgot something. There were many patriotic people present. It would be a bit unbearable to deceive them.
In other words, these fake antiques were originally intended to be sold to foreigners.
So Duan Wu laughed and said: "Ninety thousand oceans. This gentleman is really discerning. This is a national treasure. In China, it may only be worth ninety thousand oceans, but in foreign countries, it is a priceless treasure."
I really appreciate this British friend's vision, but unfortunately, it is us Chinese who have higher prices.
Ninety thousand once, ninety thousand twice,..."
"I'll pay you 120,000 yuan!"
Watt gritted his teeth and directly shouted out a sky-high price.
"One hundred and twenty thousand oceans, suddenly it is higher than 40,000 oceans!"
“The British are so wealthy!”
"Damn it, is China's national treasure just taken away by the British?"
"Grandma, I want to buy a house and buy back a national treasure."
"Wait, there are treasures behind. We can't fight with the British at this time."
"Yes, yes, yes, there is more in that box. We can't be impulsive!"
·················
After some discussion, no one made any further bids.
Watt was very happy and laughed proudly.
At this time, Duanwu directly made the decision: "Congratulations to this friend from the UK for winning the Wenwang Tripod. Someone will come and seal the tripod."
"yes!"
There was a wooden box prepared by the guards, made of rosewood. Wenwang Ding was put in on the spot, along with the appraisal certificate issued by Duobao Pavilion and so on.
At this time, Watt was very relieved. Waiting for the second treasure.
Others are also waiting to see. Because the box containing the treasure looks very big. Everyone felt that there would definitely be more than just one Wenwang Cauldron inside.
And sure enough, the Dragon Boat Festival did not disappoint everyone. He took out another landscape painting and said: "This is Mr. Zheng Banqiao's painting when he was young. Everyone knows that Mr. Zheng Banqiao is best at painting bamboo.
Most of the bamboos he painted were freehand paintings, which were completed in one go. The brush strokes were vigorous and round, sparse and flying, with contrasting shades and contrasts, virtuality and reality, full of humor and interest. The bamboos were proud and vigorous. The bamboos he painted have a sparse appearance, thin and strong brushwork, and have an otherworldly style, so they are also called "Zheng Bamboo".
But the most important thing is that the bamboos painted by this old gentleman have a strong sense of life, branch by leaf. Whether it is a dead bamboo in a new bamboo, a clump of single branches, a bamboo in the wind or a bamboo in the rain, they are all full of change. wonderful.
Like bamboo, the heights are staggered, the shades are dark and dry, and the touches of dye are all exquisite. The painting style is fresh, beautiful, and otherworldly, giving people a unique feeling.
He once wrote to himself: "Something is in the paper, and some is outside the paper. This time there are more bamboo poles than bamboo leaves,..."
But this old gentleman did not draw bamboos from the beginning. When he was young, he painted landscapes.
It's just that at that time, his painting skills were not very mature, so he didn't have much fame.
However, Mr. Zheng has very few landscape paintings handed down. Therefore, Duobao Pavilion quoted a price of 120,000 yuan, which is also very high. You can take a look. "
Dragon Boat Festival said, asking two guards to unfold their gloves for everyone to see.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw the landscape painting. If someone takes out a bamboo painting by Zheng Banqiao, there is nothing strange about it, because this old man has painted the most bamboos in his life. But who has seen landscape paintings? And it’s an early work?
The early paintings are actually not very good, but the more they look like this, the more valuable they are. Just like coins.
There are amounts on this coin, one hundred is one hundred, fifty is fifty, and twenty is twenty. He's only worth so much.
However, it is different if you have a wrong version of the coin. The one hundred yuan is likely to be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
This money is wrong and theoretically cannot be spent, but it is more valuable.
The same goes for paintings by some famous artists. His later painting style matured and his paintings were very exquisite, but his value only went so far. On the contrary, the early paintings, even if they are painted like those of primary school students, this painting far exceeds the value of other paintings.
Therefore, after the introduction of Dragon Boat Festival, the hearts of everyone present became lively. Some people even shouted: "What's the starting price for this painting? Let's get started!"
Dragon Boat Festival said: "Okay!"
"I'll pay you 140,000 yuan!"
At this moment Watt raised his hands high.
Duanwu felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Sir, do you have to give others a chance?"
Watt proudly said: "I don't have any advantages in this life, but I have a lot of money. Hahaha! Is there anyone bidding? Hahaha! Who dares to steal something from me, Watt? I will kill him with money! Hahaha! .... ..”
"Damn, how come the British are so rich?"
"Damn it, is this national treasure going to be snatched away by the British again?"
"We can't just let him get away with it like that. We and the others worked together to buy this painting. We can't let the national treasure leak out again."
Several wealthy businessmen discussed it and called out the price again: "150,000 oceans!"
Seeing this, Duanwu hurriedly said: "It's already 150,000 yuan. It's already 150,000 yuan. But I believe that the value of this painting will be far more than that. Although I don't know how to paint, I know the principle of rare things being valuable." .And I also believe that everyone present is a person who knows treasures."
"One hundred and sixty thousand oceans!"
Watt smiled and raised his hands, obviously he just wanted to crush the opponent with price.
Several wealthy Chinese businessmen frowned and were discussing the price increase. But at this moment, General Philip shouted: "I'm going out to sea for 180,000 yuan, Mr. Dragon Boat Festival, can you give me this face?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Mr. Philip, I really want to give you this face, but this is an auction. The highest bidder gets it, and there is nothing I can do about it. But I think the price is about the same. If Mr. Watt can make it To you, then he is yours.”
Watt said arrogantly: "I will not give up to a Yankee who does not understand art. I offer two hundred thousand dollars, Mr. Philip, you'd better do what you can. Compared with my financial resources, you are A younger brother!..."
