"Ladies and fellow villagers, welcome to our auction today. I have to say! There are really countless treasures in today's auction, especially many overseas collectors who came here specially, so

The items brought are all rare..."

On the auction stage, the auctioneer with two curls of beard on his mouth has begun to liven up the atmosphere.

The lights in the twenty or so boxes in front of the auction venue are also on. This is a sign. If there are lights on, it means there are VIPs inside, while if there are no lights on, it means that the boxes are empty.

However, in addition, there is actually a display screen outside each box, and some of them display some surnames.

"Dear distinguished guests, we have invited many distinguished guests to our auction today! For example, Wang Yu, the eldest son of the Wang family, is in the Tianzi No. 1 box, and... Yang Bingkun, the eldest son of the Yang family, is in the Tianzi No. 2 box...

"

The auctioneer happily introduced some of the famous sons of the powerful in the capital. Only then did Lin Feng realize that it turned out that the surnames displayed on the outside of the box represented their aristocratic families. Some of the aristocratic sons were willing to talk about their family's signatures.

Showing it off is actually a way to let people bid when bidding, so that at least others will often have scruples and won't bid so high a price given their family background.

However, this actually has a lot of disadvantages. If you encounter a family that is hostile or has a bad relationship, they will try to raise the price, which results in malicious bidding and comparison competition.

"Aunt? Lin Feng, it seems that... one of my cousins ​​is here today."

When the host introduced the box number 9, Qin Yanran was stunned and said.

"Box number nine? Qin Guangtao of the Qin family? Is he your cousin? The eldest son of the Qin family in the capital?" Lin Feng said, and his spiritual sense immediately scanned the box, and sure enough he saw a man and a woman inside.

Qin Yanran looks somewhat similar to the playboy brother.

Qin Guangtao was hugging him from left to right, with two beauties clinging to his side and feeding him grapes. He was very happy.

"Yes, although I only met this cousin a few times when I was a child, I heard that he... his reputation is not very good. He is addicted to eating, drinking and having fun all day long. My uncle can't do anything about him." Qin Yanran shook her head.

, sighed and said, "I just don't know why he came to such an auction..."

"Yanran, we don't care about him. Our goal is that picture of mountains, rivers, and the country. Maybe we can find a way for you to cultivate in the real world!"

After scanning the other boxes at the auction venue, Lin Feng smiled slightly. There were quite a few acquaintances there.

For example, Ouyang Feng, the Ouyang family member who was turned into an eunuch by Lin Feng, was said to have gone to Thailand to undergo some kind of surgery to regenerate his severed limbs, but now he has also become yin and yang, sitting in a treasure chest silently.

There are also Yang Bingkun from the Yang family, and some other children from Beijing aristocratic families that Lin Feng met when he last opened the Wangfujing branch of Hero Restaurant.

With the presence of these people, in general, the quality of today's auction is still good. However, what is different from other auctions is that all the auction items today are calligraphy and paintings, including paintings and calligraphy from all dynasties in ancient China.

There are also oil paintings from various foreign medieval schools.

The first few items to be auctioned were all foreign oil paintings. Under the frothing introduction of the auctioneer and the tempting display of beautiful models, several young men from small aristocratic families started bidding against each other.

Basically, the starting price is over one million, and the final price is nearly tens of millions.

The auctioneer cheerfully introduced the items one by one. Basically, the children of the aristocratic families in the private rooms were bidding. Even if there were occasional bids in the ordinary seats, in the end, few of them could actually bid for the items.

However, only the children of these aristocratic families have no scruples. They can spend a lot of money no matter how much money they have. As long as the price is not too expensive, they will not lose much money by taking pictures of these treasured works of art.

Sitting on an ordinary seat, Lin Feng watched the auction items being photographed one by one, but he never took action. What he was waiting for was the map of mountains, rivers, and the country at the end.

Finally, nearly two hours have passed, and the auction has entered its final and intense stage. Just now, a young master from the Zhong family and another young master from the Qiu family maliciously bid for each other, bidding an item over the top.

A Western painting worth more than five million yuan was sold to more than eight million yuan, which caused an uproar in the audience.

However, these are just millions of small items, and the truly amazing collections are at the back!

No, the third to last collection was actually a painting by Tang Bohu, which immediately caused a stir in the entire audience.

You know, among these ancient Chinese painters, the most expensive painting is probably that of Tang Bohu. In the past two years, a painting of "Viewing Waterfalls on Mount Lu" even sold for a sky-high price of nearly 600 million US dollars abroad. Naturally, today's countdown

The second painting by Tang Bohu appeared, which naturally aroused the enthusiastic pursuit of the children of the Tianzihao family.

The starting bid was 80 million, and the price for this "Tiger and Crouching" painting has just gone up, and it has skyrocketed all the way up.

One hundred million!

One hundred and fifty million!

Two hundred million!

If he spent so much money on other things, he would definitely be scolded as a prodigal by his family, but this Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings are not something you can see at any auction.

Basically, every painting is a masterpiece, and the price can only get higher and higher in the future. Therefore, the children of these aristocratic families kept cheering, and Lin Feng and Qin Yanran were also stunned for a moment.

In just ten minutes, the price of this "Tiger Crouching Picture" has gone from 80 million to 500 million yuan, an increase of more than six times.

"Six hundred and ten million! The third time!"

In the end, this painting "Tiger in a Crouching" was actually bought by Ouyang Feng of the Ouyang family. The children of other aristocratic families were also helpless, and the price was too high. Even they had to weigh it.

"Lin Feng, this... these people really don't use money as money! Six hundred and ten million yuan! Just bought such a painting? Although I know that Tang Bohu's paintings are very famous, but the price is... too

Too high."

Although Qin Yanran is a young lady of the Qin family, she grew up like ordinary people and has never experienced the influence of aristocratic families. Therefore, in her opinion, hundreds of thousands is considered a huge sum of money.

I can't imagine what 610 million is.

"Yanran, this is a game for the rich! They can spend huge sums of money just for a painting they like, but...then it's our turn to take action. The final collection is the "Picture of Mountains, Rivers and Sheji"

Already..."

Although the auctions just now had nothing to do with Lin Feng, and he was not interested in those collections at all, they gave him a very clear idea of ​​the rules of the auction game, as well as the tendency of these children of aristocratic families to spend money like water.

.

Auctions have always been a game for the rich, and sometimes what they compete for is not just the auction items, but also a reputation and a reputation, which are enough for them to pay several times more than the value of the items. (Unfinished)
