"Okay! The first bid is 10 million, which shows your strength. I hope everyone will bid more, so that my husband will be motivated to paint the next painting as soon as possible." The middle-aged woman said with a smile.
"Eleven million!" Then the second bidder also shouted.
"Twelve million!" was the price shouted by the first bidder.
"Fifteen million!" This time, Yu Ye and Lan Xiaoqing heard a familiar voice and immediately looked at the bidder. Sure enough, it was Lan Xiaoqing's mother, Xu Xiaoyu, who made the bid.
"Fifteen million! Ms. Xu is extraordinary!" the woman said with a smile.
Soon, however, the first bidder shouted: "Eighteen million!"
"Wow, eighteen million!" The woman's eyes were full of surprises, and she said with a smile: "You are so powerful and courageous! Is there anyone else who bids? Is there anyone who bids?"
No one expected that the price was so high, and it reached 18 million in a few seconds!
As a result, a quarter of the people in the audience realized that they were really just here to look at the paintings.
A quarter of these people withdrew from the bidding.
However, three-quarters of the people still have the strength to continue bidding!
"Is there anyone else who bids? Is this the winning bid? Then I will be a little disappointed!" the woman said with a smile.
At this time, Xu Xiaoyu shook his lips and said loudly: "Twenty million!"
"What a skill, what a skill!" The woman was full of energy and praised loudly: "Sister Xiaoyu, you are really a skill today!"
Xu Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said nothing.
In fact, she knew that 20 million was already the maximum price she could offer.
But she has to show a calm and calm look, so as to maximize the shock to those competitors, so that they will be afraid of competing with her and quit when they are faced with difficulties.
Suddenly, everyone began to whisper and discuss.
Everyone began to discuss the real value of the painting.
But don't act too fast and get angry and end up buying the painting at a premium. It would be bad if you lose it again.
Impulse spending is not advisable!
At this time, the woman smiled and said: "What's wrong with everyone? Do you think that 20 million is the true value of this painting? Do I need to remind everyone that my husband's last painting sold for 25 million? The price was 35 million, while his last painting was sold for 35 million!
Will a painter's painting skills get worse and worse? I don’t think so. The level of a painter should become more sophisticated as he gets older... Of course, everyone still needs to appreciate the value of this painting. I’m just saying it casually..."
On the surface, it was said casually, but between the lines of this woman's words, there were clearly four words: "I am not satisfied."
Everyone could hear it clearly. However, once the woman's words were correct, everyone had to think about how much the painting was worth and what the price should be.
At this time, Lan Xiaoqing quietly turned her elbow and asked, "How much do you think this painting is worth?"
"Me?" Yu Ye scratched his head and said, "I haven't thought about it. It has nothing to do with me. What do I want it to do?"
"Idle time is idle. You can estimate the price and see if our estimates are the same." Lan Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Yu Ye couldn't help but feel that Lan Xiaoqing was really boring. Could it be that the same price would make it interesting?
What a little girl's heart.
But Lan Xiaoqing was right, and he was indeed very bored at this time, so he thought about it and quickly estimated a price in his mind.
He felt that the price he wanted was definitely not the same as what Lan Xiaoqing wanted.
Because the price he can offer is lower than the price Xu Xiaoyu is offering now.
"Have you thought about it?" Lan Xiaoqing asked quietly.
"Think about it."
Yu Ye nodded.
"Okay, then tell me, how much is this painting worth to you?" Lan Xiaoqing asked.
"You tell me first, lest the price I offer affects your psychological price." Yuye said.
"No, you say it first!" Lan Xiaoqing insisted.
"You better say it first, or I won't play anymore." Yu Ye turned his head to the side.
This is what he does best.
When he was a child, he often used this method when playing with others, and the other party would often give in immediately.
After all, children are very playful. Once they hear that the other person wants to stop playing, their first choice will definitely be to compromise.
Sure enough, when Lan Xiaoqing heard that Yu Ye said she didn't want to play anymore, she could only pouted and said, "Oh, just say it!"
Yu Ye turned his head, and then heard Lan Xiaoqing say: "I estimate it is only 20 million. If it exceeds 20 million, it will be a loss."
After saying that, she blinked, looked at Yu Ye, and asked expectantly: "What do you think?"
Yu Ye didn't want others to hear or get into trouble, so he made a "cross" gesture with his fingers, and then made a "pistol" gesture.
Now Lan Xiaoqing understood immediately!
She stared at Yu Ye and said, "Why did you ask me to tell you first? It turns out that your price is lower than my mother's quote!"
"Yeah." Yu Ye nodded and said, "But if I were your mother, I would drive it to 20 million."
"Why? Isn't the price not worth it?" Lan Xiaoqing asked in surprise.
"Because this is not something you want to buy for your own collection, but something you want to give away. Since it is a gift, and time is so tight, a little premium is acceptable." Yu Ye said with a smile.
"Oh, that makes sense!" Lan Xiaoqing nodded.
At this moment, something that worried Xu Xiaoyu happened!
The first bidder raised his voice and said, "Twenty-one million!"
Xu Xiaoyu looked sad.
"Twenty-one million!" When the woman heard that someone had offered a higher price, her face suddenly turned into a flower with a smile!
She smiled sweetly and said: "I know there must be someone among you who knows the goods. How can such a good painting be worth only 20 million! Of course, I am not saying that people who bid less than 20 million are stingy. After all, this is In the auction, the price will definitely increase little by little, but I want to remind everyone that the value of this painting is definitely more than that!"
Everyone focused their attention on the face of the person who paid the highest price.
The man wore a pair of black sunglasses, but even so, everyone knew him.
Because he is a famous collector in Binhai.
Now he is in his sixties and his eyesight is not very good, so he always wears black sunglasses even when he is indoors.
But this did not affect his interest in the appreciation and collection of calligraphy and painting.
However, a higher price soon appeared!
"Twenty-two million!" Another person who had never made a bid before took action!
When everyone took a closer look, Lan Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaimed!
"What's wrong?" Yu Ye couldn't help but ask.
"The bidder is my uncle!" Lan Xiaoqing covered her mouth and whispered to Ye Dao.
"Xu Wenzhao's father?" Yu Ye asked.
"Yes!" Lan Xiaoqing nodded and said, "He is also my mother's brother."
