The auctioneer on the stage said this and asked someone to bring up a scroll.
"This is a painting of autumn frost by the famous Chinese painting master Wu Qiuyue. The starting price is 200 million."
When the audience saw that the first item to be auctioned was a work by a master of traditional Chinese painting, they knew that the Shanghai government had put a lot of effort into this banquet.
"I bid 300 million," the person in charge of Somik immediately made an offer.
As long as I can get in touch with Enzo, a mere few million is still a good deal.
"I'll offer 400 million," another company boss immediately said.
"450"
"500"
Soon, this painting of Autumn Moon and Cold Intent was sold at a high price of 5 million. Although it was a work by a master of traditional Chinese painting, its price was only 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
You should know that there is an unwritten rule in China, whether it is calligraphy or painting, that is, the works of living artists are not worth much.
But as soon as people die, the works they left behind become valuable immediately.
Because while a person is alive, he can create more works, but once he dies, his works will become unique and disappear.
In this way, the collection value of the work itself is greatly enhanced.
Unlike others who were bidding frantically, Lu Feng and his two generals sat in the corner eating snacks and drinking champagne, as if this banquet had nothing to do with them.
As for Enzo, as the protagonist of today's banquet, he was not as comfortable as Lu Feng.
Enzo and his wife Sofia were seen sitting in the most conspicuous place, watching the auction.
It can be seen from Enzo's restless hands that he is almost driven crazy by this situation, but he can't just give up and leave, so he can only insist on sitting there.
"I bid 800 million." As the person in charge of Somik made another bid, the people in the audience stopped bidding.
"One million times"
"800 million twice"
"Is there anyone who wants to raise the price further? This is the painstaking work of a Chinese painting master, and there is huge potential for appreciation in the future."
The auctioneer was performing hard on the stage, but the people below were all smart and didn't fall for it at all.
"800 million three times, congratulations to this gentleman for successfully buying this masterpiece by the master of Chinese painting." Seeing that no one raised the price, the auctioneer dropped the hammer for the third time.
In the end, the first item of the auction was successfully bought by the head of Somik at a high price of 800 million.
The head of Somik laughed happily when he heard the auctioneer's words.
He quickly stood up and raised the red wine glass in his hand to salute Enzo.
Seeing this, Enzo had no choice but to stand up and touch him in the air.
After all, people spent so much money to buy a painting just for his sake.
It was not until now that Enzo realized that he had been used by the Magic City government.
After Enzo sat down, he turned his gaze to Lu Feng's position.
Lu Feng saw Enzo looking at him with a questioning look in his eyes.
He immediately shrugged with a helpless look.
I don’t know whether I’m telling Enzo about this or not. If you have any questions, please ask Secretary Li later.
Seeing this, Enzo could only look away and sit there obediently.
At this time, the second auction also began.
"Everyone, the second auction is for a set of Dehua white porcelain tea sets that took the porcelain master three months to create."
"Please look at the big screen"
A set of tea sets as white as jade immediately appeared on the curtain behind the auctioneer. These were the items to be auctioned in the second round.
"Everyone knows that Dehua white porcelain is famous and it is usually hard to find a piece of it. But today we have a complete set of tea sets made of Dehua white porcelain. I don't need to explain its value."
"The starting price is 80, bidding begins now." As soon as the auctioneer's hammer fell, someone immediately made a bid.
"90," a tea-loving boss immediately quoted a price.
"I'll offer 100 million," another person said, not wanting to be outdone.
"How much do you think this tea set can be sold for?" Lu Feng asked as he watched the bidding with interest.
"I think it's about 130 million," Zhao Yun said after thinking for a while.
"What about you, Lao Su, how much do you think this tea set will sell for?"
Lu Feng seemed dissatisfied with the price Zhao Yun offered, and turned to ask Su Luoxuan beside him.
"Mr. Lu, I think it's at least about 180 million," Su Luoxuan said after thinking for a while.
"Then let's make a bet. I bet it will be sold for at least 220 million," Lu Feng said.
Zhao Yun and Su Luoxuan also became interested after hearing this and started betting with Lu Feng.
"Then what are we betting on?" Zhao Yun asked again.
"I'm making a bet with you two. If I lose, Lao Zhao, I'll find you an international professional car designer to help you design a new car."
"And Lao Su, if I lose, I will help you sign two international superstars."
"If you lose, each of you owes me a barbecue, how about that?"
"Okay, let's make a bet." When Zhao Yun and Su Luoxuan heard that if they lost they would only have to pay for a barbecue, but if they won they would get huge benefits, they agreed without thinking.
"The price should be within 20 of our guess," Lu Feng added.
"no problem"
Just when the bet was reached, the price of the tea set reached 150 million, and Zhao Yun was the first to appear.
"Oh, the bosses in Shanghai are really rich. This 100 million is like nothing."
Zhao Yun sighed.
"Otherwise, why would Li Zhengguo set up such a scheme to make them willingly spend money?"
Lu Feng said calmly.
"The rich have wine and meat, but the poor are freezing to death on the streets."
Lu Feng had just finished speaking when the price of the tea set was approaching Su Luoxuan's 180 million.
"170 million, there is no higher price yet," the auctioneer shouted on the stage.
But no one in the audience continued to raise the price.
When Su Luoxuan saw this scene, he immediately laughed triumphantly.
"Mr. Lu, it looks like I'm going to win."
"Haha, Lao Su, don't jump to conclusions before the end," Lu Feng said calmly.
"I offer 180 million," another bidding sound suddenly rang out in the venue.
Su Luoxuan's face darkened instantly.
"Don't worry, Lao Su, you still have hope," Lu Feng comforted him.
When Su Luoxuan heard this, he agreed and regained his confidence.
But the price that followed directly shattered Su Luoxuan's last hope.
"I'll offer 200 million," the tea-loving boss who first called out the price continued to raise the price.
At this time, Su Luoxuan's heart was in his throat, because as long as someone raised the price by another ten thousand, he would lose.
"I'll give 210 million," another continued.
After hearing this, Su Luoxuan closed his eyes.
"I lost"
Although Su Luoxuan was also eliminated, the price of tea sets continued to rise.
In the end, the tea set was sold to the tea-loving tycoon for 240 million, and Lu Feng barely won the bet.
"Remember, each of you owes me a barbecue," Lu Feng said with a smile.
"understood"
Zhao Yun and Su Luoxuan agreed with a look of disappointment on their faces.
"Why, can't you afford to play?" Lu Feng asked, seeing the two of them looking unhappy.
"No, I just feel like I missed something very important and it makes me feel uncomfortable," Zhao Yun replied with a bitter face.
