Chapter 164: Auction of

"I believe many people have known about this work before. Our auction house has done some publicity for this work before." The auctioneer said to everyone: "This work was made by Li Suzhi, and it is still at his peak. This work is the most famous work. It is said that this work has been destroyed, which makes many people very disappointed. It is definitely a huge loss to the literary and collecting circles. Fortunately, it has not been destroyed and is still being used. People put it up for auction. If any of you like to collect calligraphy works, this is definitely a masterpiece not to be missed! ”

While the people at the scene were listening to the auctioneer's introduction, their eyes were fixed on the calligraphy work, as if they wanted to see it through.

"If you are interested, you can come up and take a closer look," the auctioneer said.

Later, Wu Fan saw that at least more than half of the people at the scene had left their positions and headed for the stage. This was definitely the most people on stage in today's auction so far.

"It seems that our products are very popular." Wu Fan said excitedly.

"That's natural." Wang Ziming said: "Li Suzhi's works have always been very popular in the collection circle. Because there are very few works circulated, the prices for his works are not low. Every time they appear, , will cause some sensation. Even those who don’t usually like to collect calligraphy works will want to see it with their own eyes when they encounter such masterpieces.”

Wu Fan nodded: "I hope the price will be satisfactory."

"It can be regarded as the final highlight by the auction house, which shows that the auction house is very optimistic about this work, and the auction price should be the highest tonight. However, because of the grudge between me and Jiang Yu, The "Spring Mountain Flying Birds" was sold at an exaggerated price, and now it's not certain whether our work will fetch the highest price," said Wang Ziming.

Wu Fan nodded and looked towards the stage.

Soon, everyone took turns to read this work, and many people were a little eager to try it. This work was promoted as the finale of this time, so many people knew about its existence before coming. There are also many people who came here for it. Now that the real thing is in front of their eyes, everyone can't wait.

"Okay, everyone has finished reading. The auction of "Farewell to Guests" has officially begun!" The auctioneer said loudly, with a rich expression on his face: "The starting price is 30 million! Each bid increase must not be less than ten million. Ten thousand!"

Thirty million!

When the people at the scene heard this price, many people involuntarily took a breath.

This is definitely a high starting price. You must know that before this, the highest starting price, that is, the painting of Wang Ziming and Jiang Yu's fighting spirit, was only 10 million, but now, this price has soared three times. .

Many people who were originally eager to try bidding gave up their thoughts at this time. With such a starting price, the final transaction price was definitely not low, and it was not something they could afford.

"Three thousand and one million!"

Although many people backed down after hearing this starting price, there are still people who are capable of competing, and there are quite a few!

"Three thousand and two hundred thousand!"

"Thirty-five million!"

...

The price continued to rise, which made Wu Fan, who was originally worried about losing the auction, instantly feel relieved.

No matter what, if someone makes a bid, then the thing is considered sold. At least it’s not a question of more money in the end, and even if it is sold at the current price, he can get more than 10 million!

And obviously, this price is still rising!

"Antiques are indeed not something ordinary people can play with." Wu Fan sighed inwardly.

However, the higher and more aggressive these people offer, the happier he will be. After all, this is related to his final income.

The price of "Send Off" has been rising, and it didn't take long before it exceeded 40 million. After that, the upward trend continued unabated.

"Forty-eight million!" A middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy businessman quoted.

This price has reached the price of Li Suzhi’s last calligraphy work that was auctioned.

However, the offers still haven't stopped.

"Forty-eight and a half million!"

"Forty-eight, seven million!"

...

The price soon exceeded 55 million!

As a result, even after deducting the commission charged by the auction house, the money Wu Fan received was almost enough to cover the store's expenses.

The issue of facade expenses that had troubled Wu Fan for some time was easily solved like this!

Wu Fan even had an unreal feeling.

All I can say is that the identification technique is awesome and practical!

While Wu Fan was sighing, the price continued to rise. It didn't take long before it actually exceeded 60 million. In other words, no matter what the final transaction price was, the highest bidder in tonight's auction must be Wu Fan's painting. "Send off guests".

However, when the price exceeded 60 million, Wu Fan found that there were obviously fewer people making offers, and the intervals between quotes became longer than before. The 60 million was like a threshold, blocking many people from continuing. Move forward.

"Sixty-one million!"

Although there are fewer people quoting, there are still some, and the prices are still rising. At this time, they are all still competing, and they are not bad at it, and they all really have ideas for this work. Want to buy it.

"Sixty-five million!"

At this time, a familiar voice came into Wu Fan's ears. The person who made the latest offer was the old man Fang whom Wu Fan knew.

Before, old man Fang had been watching the show, and Wu Fan thought he had no interest in this work, but he did not expect that old man Fang would make an effort in the later stage. After many people gave up, he officially joined the competition.

"What a rich man." Wu Fan thought.

Before, this old man almost spent 800,000 yuan on a porcelain plate on the street stall. Although it was a fake, it also proved that the other party had financial resources. Now, he directly offered 65 million to compete for a calligraphy work. He was really financially strong.

"66 million!"

However, old man Fang's offer did not scare away others. There were fewer people bidding than before, but some people still did not give up.

Jiang Yu looked at the bids with envy. He also wanted to participate because he knew that such calligraphy works were hard to come by. Unfortunately, he had spent all his money on competing with Wang Ziming for the ink painting. Now he had no money, so he could only watch.

"However, being able to snatch Wang Ziming's love, tonight is not in vain." Jiang Yu looked at Wang Ziming in the distance and thought to himself.
