Two days later.
In the evening, after Dong Xuebin finished class and had dinner, he went back to the party school dormitory alone and went online, checking the auction information of Yunde Autumn Auction on the web page.
Painted by the Qing Dynasty, Xu Yang.
"Triumphant Return of the Western Territory".
The starting reference price is RMB 50 million. The Power of Time and Wealth 774
The color of the paper is 43 cm in length and 1865 cm in width. The front page is framed with floral brocade, and is signed with white jade. The external signature is "Xu Yang, painting Triumphant Return of the Western Territory". There is an inscription and postscript of Xu Yang, the inscription is "Chen Xu Yang respectfully draws and postscripts", the seal is "Chen" in red and Xu Yang is in white.
Today is the day when this painting will be auctioned. Dong Xuebin doesn't know how much it can be sold for. He can't help but feel a little anxious. Whether he can buy the sky-high pair of Pink Diamond depends on how much money this painting can provide Dong Xuebin. He can probably get it together. Less than 200 million, about 195 million, this is all his savings, but if Xu Yang's painting fails to sell, Pink Diamond will miss out 100%. This is something Dong Xuebin is unwilling and unable to see. He has already decided to buy the ring.
At the same time, Yun De Auction Company's Autumn Auction is in full swing.
In the blink of an eye, the last auction item has arrived, which is the Xu Yang painting.
Dong Xuebin also immediately contacted the relevant person in charge. Because it was not convenient to go out to the party school, Dong Xuebin could only listen to their "real-time broadcast."
other side.
In a restaurant.
Wei Nan was having dinner with a few friends when he suddenly received a call.
There was a man's voice on the phone, "Hey, Lao Wei, Beijing, there is a Auction Company that posted a picture of Xu Yang. Have you heard about it?"
"Xu Yang's?"
"And it's "Triumphant Return of the Western Territory"."
? You didn't do it"
"I'm also wondering, isn't that painting collected by your family?"
"Are you filming already? What is the starting bid?"
"The starting bid is 50 million. Judging from the price, it should be an authentic work."
Wei Nan was dumbfounded and said, "You want to take a photo? Then I have to remind you that this painting is definitely a fake. There are many identical paintings. Didn't Liulichang have a rubbing technology that they have developed a long time ago? Even many experts can't tell the difference between real and fake, so don't touch it. The real painting..." At this point, Wei Nan sighed, "You should know that my villa caught on fire a while ago, right? It has been burned out, so there is no more "Triumphant Return of the Western Territory" in the world, and all that appear on the market are fakes."
"Is there still this matter? That's a shame."
"Yes. My Old Master spent tens of millions to collect it, alas."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Nan continued to have dinner with his friends. He didn't pay much attention to the auction of "Triumphant Return of the Western Territory". In fact, he didn't know much about antiques, but his Old Master had an expert authenticate it. In this situation, there are only two possibilities. Wei Nan saw someone sawing open the villa safe with his own eyes. Seeing the black and gray painting inside, I knew that it could not be restored, so either the painting currently being auctioned was a fake, but many experts took a closer look and determined it to be an authentic one, or the painting in Wei Nan's home was a fake, and the item currently being auctioned was the authentic one of Xu Yang, but no matter what the case. This has nothing to do with Salamander, the paintings are gone, and it's distressing to think about it, so it's better not to think about it. The Power of Time and Wealth 774
Wei Nan This idea is normal. As he said, there are so many identical fakes, and the current counterfeiting technology has already reached its peak. No one would have thought that a burned painting could be restored. It was possible for porcelain and jade, but it was absolutely impossible for paintings.
This is why Dong Xuebin dared to put it up for auction as if no one else was around. He had already cleaned away the fingerprints and other marks on the scroll. Even if Wei Nan's family has doubts, they will not think about other aspects. It is really not difficult with today's technological level to create an identical painting. On the contrary, it would be strange if a fake celebrity calligraphy and painting is not circulated in the market.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Here is the auction of "Triumphant Return of the Western Territory"."
"Who is Xu Yang? I believe I don't need to say more. Let's bid. The starting price is 50 million yuan."
In the party school dormitory, Dong Xuebin lay down on the bed, listening to the voice coming from the phone next to his ear, and his heart gradually picked up.
"The bidding begins."
"Fifty million, does anyone bid?"
"Oh, my friend on the 16th made a bid, 55 million!"
"Any more? Fifty-five million... "Hey, over there, my friend on the 28th offered fifty-eight million!"
Friend No. 22! Six of Wan Five million...". One thousand five hundred and five hundred and five times...".
'Sixty-eight million! Oh...". Seventy-two million! Is there anyone with a higher bid?"
Seventy million!
Eighty million!
Ninety million!
"Pullification
The auction price of "Prizes Presented to Prisoners from the Western Regions" has skyrocketed!
Listening to the prices on the phone, this has basically reached Dong Xuebin's expectations. He breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fists slightly. Of course, he hoped it could be higher.
Ninety-one million! Ninety-five million! One hundred million!
Dong Xuebin can clearly hear the excitement in the crowd over there.
"One hundred million yuan! Friend No. 6 offered 100 million yuan! Are there any competitors? Is that the end of it? One hundred million yuan once..."... One hundred million yuan twice... "... One hundred million yuan three times!"
Boom, the hammer fell.
"One hundred million yuan deal!" The Power of Time and Wealth 774
Bang, bang, bang, applause!
Dong Xuebin couldn't help but slap his thigh, and immediately contacted Yun De Auction Company's new Laoban after hanging up the phone.
"Congratulations to Mr. Dong." The female boss came up and said, "One hundred million yuan has been hammered down."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "We should be happy together."
The female boss said, "Haha, buyer No. 6 is a boss I know. Every time he takes a photo of a collection, he usually pays the bill on the same day. I know you are eager to use the money, so let's do this. We will call you as soon as the money is received, and it will arrive before tomorrow afternoon."
'Okay, thank you very much. "
"You're welcome, if you have any good stuff in the future, remember to find me."
"That's for sure, it's been a pleasure working together."
"A pleasure to work with."
Obviously it is impossible to get all the 100 million yuan of personal currency Dong Xuebin. There are taxes and commissions in it, but there is a relationship between Qu Yunxuan and Dong Xuebin discussed with them in advance. There were also some discounts in the price change. Putting aside all the amounts, he could get about more than 80 million. Adding in the 195 million in his bank card, Dong Xuebin's total funds could reach 280 million!
I checked online and found out that the pair will be on sale tomorrow evening!
We have enough money and everything is ready. This time, Dong Xuebin is bound to win!
