"Congratulations, sir, for once again winning an item." Soon, Chen Xi won this set of cards for 310,000. The host happily knocked the small hammer in his hand.
Everyone felt that it was a shame to snatch something from a fool, so the price was no longer raised.
Sun Chen is very unhappy now. If it were normal times, he would have been so happy that he would be so happy. Chen Xi is now offering more and more prices, and there are still many auction items left. Don't forget that the total now is less than 400,000, but if the number is large, the money will be an astronomical figure.
"Haha, honey, be happy. I'll help you get what you want."
"Honey, that's awesome! I will definitely serve you well tonight!"
< br>
Zhao Lingshan kissed Chen Xi on the face.
This scene caused a burst of laughter from the people nearby.
Sun Chen ran backstage and did not see this scene, otherwise he would have other opinions about Chen Xi.
"What are you talking about? Pay attention to your identity." Jin Nana looked at Zhao Lingshan displeased.
“lululu~” Zhao Lingshan made a face at Jin Nana.
"Hahaha, the three women over there are getting jealous. It's great to be rich and handsome. There is no shortage of women everywhere."
"Who says it's not the case? I was also very handsome when I was young. , just no money, hahaha.”< br>
“I am rich but not handsome.”
“You? It’s hard for you... to find a woman even though you are rich.”
“What are you talking about? , am I that ugly?”
"No, no... slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."
A few old men were chatting and almost had a quarrel.
"The next auction is calligraphy and painting... painted by Mr. Chen Yifeng, a master of contemporary art and president of the XXX Art Association... One is an oil painting and the other is a splash of color, both of which are Mr. Chen's best The... base price starts at 300,000 yuan!”
“Pfft~cough~” Chen Xi just took the water from Zhao Lingshan and took a sip before he choked on the host’s words.
What?
Lao Chen's painting?
It was also put up for auction. Is this self-produced and sold?
Is there any mistake? You can still play like this!
“Drink slowly, don’t choke to death.”
“Giggle.”
"Hehe."
The three women covered their mouths and snickered, while Jin Nana couldn't help but tease Chen Xi.
“What is splash ink?”
Some people who don’t understand painting have expressed doubts. Oil painting is something that many people know, but splash ink is not known to everyone.
“Splashing color is a painting method of traditional Chinese painting, and also a kind of freehand painting. Splashing color emphasizes the bold use of colors, and splashes moderately harmonious Chinese painting pigments directly on rice paper to form colorful and colorful paintings. Picture effect. This technique makes the picture colorful and full of visual impact.
Splashing paint pursues unrestrained freedom in technique, does not stick to details, and focuses on understanding rather than appearance. The painter freely blends colors and inks on the rice paper through techniques such as splashing and smudging to create a unique artistic effect.
The biggest feature of splash color is its "randomness" and "uniqueness". Due to the influence of many factors such as the temperature and humidity of the air, the concentration of the color, the maturity of the rice paper, the size and hardness of the brush, each splash-color work is unique and cannot be copied. This non-replicability gives splash-colored works extremely high artistic value and collection value.
Splash color is developed on the basis of inheriting traditional Chinese landscape painting. It combines the essence of traditional landscape painting with new technical expressions, giving people a refreshing feeling. The splash-color works not only reflect the masculine beauty, implicit beauty, image beauty and abstract beauty of traditional Chinese painting, but also show the painter's unique understanding and perception of nature and art..." A bald old man wearing glasses showed off in front of several rich women.
"It sounds like it is very valuable, but the host just said it was a contemporary painter. Aren't the paintings of this painter valuable only after he is dead? So is he dead? "One of the stupid rich women asked.
"Of course he is still alive. This auction house will launch this painter's paintings every year. Some people say that this painter is a good friend of the owner of the auction house. ”
"Oh, I just want to ask if this painting is worth anything. Why are you talking to me so much?"
"Hey, it depends on how you view this matter."
"You What do you mean?" The rich woman became interested.
“This painter is also an entrepreneur and has a lot of business in hand. If you are a businessman, if you take a picture of him and show it to the other party, the value produced will be great. But you If you look at it purely from an artistic point of view, this painting is worth it..." The bald old man hesitated.
"How much is it worth?" Several rich women gathered together and asked curiously.
"I think it's worth a few thousand yuan!" The old man held out a palm, which meant almost five thousand yuan.
“Huh?”
The rich women were amused.
Actually, this man deliberately saved face for Chen Yifeng. It is estimated that 90% of the five thousand yuan is worth so much because of the title of President of the Artists Association.
“Three hundred thousand!”
"Three hundred and one thousand!"
Soon someone started bidding.
“Huh? Someone actually bought it.”
“These people are crazy.”
“In my opinion, it’s better to buy what that young man took. The bracelet is valuable.”
Several rich women looked in disbelief.
"Wow, Uncle Chen's paintings are so valuable. Then wouldn't he get rich by painting more paintings? What kind of business should he do?" Zhao Lingshan asked in a low voice next to Chen Xi's ear.
"If he doesn't do business, this painting won't be worth a dime. Haha, I used to see many foreigners spending millions to buy his oil paintings. You think those foreigners are really stupid, that's I want to do business with him..." Chen Xi replied.
In the past, many rich people in the Middle East spent a lot of money to make Chen Yifeng happy in order to purchase Huade equipment in advance.
Chen Yifeng is a person who, firstly, has a good face, and secondly, he feels that someone recognizes his work, so he happily sells a large number of equipment to the other party.
You know, Huade only has so much high-end equipment every year.
If you want to buy, you can only queue up.
“Fifty thousand!”
“Six hundred thousand!”
“…”
"One million!"
The price was quickly raised to one million.
“These people are crazy.” Although Saori doesn’t understand painting, she knows that only ancient paintings are valuable. This painting was obviously painted by Cai, and it was painted by Chen Xi’s father. Why is it worth so much? Where's the money?
"Haha, what is this? The two paintings have just been added to one million. In the past, a painting cost at least two to three million. I think the two paintings combined can cost at least five million. Above." Chen Xi analyzed in a low voice.
At this time, Sun Chen was smoking a cigarette in the background. Whenever Chen Yifeng's paintings were auctioned, he would no longer watch them live.
Because he is also a painter, and he is much better at oil painting than Chen Yifeng, but the paintings are not as valuable as Chen Yifeng, which makes Sun Chen feel a little helpless.
It’s all false to say that artists don’t care about money.
In their eyes, if you are willing to pay a lot of money to buy their paintings, it is a recognition of their works.
Although Chen Yifeng used tricks to overtake others in a corner to sell his paintings at high prices, Sun Chen still felt a little unhappy. I have been painting for decades and have opened a gallery, but a painting can only be sold for 10,000 yuan at most. Compared with Chen Yifeng, the gap is simply too big.
"Hey, it's boring. I don't know if the price of the paintings after my death can exceed that of Lao Chen. The current art world is really chaotic." Sun Chen exhaled smoke and said depressedly.
"Ha, Mr. Sun, why are you smoking here? I find that every time Chen Yifeng's paintings are auctioned, you don't look at them. Let me tell you, his paintings are worthless. All artists are taught by famous teachers
As for his family, he wanted to learn art from a teacher when he was young, but he couldn't afford the tuition. In the end, he had to study secretly with an unknown painter. How could he learn the essence of it?
< br>Besides, our Chen family ancestors have never been in the arts for several generations. He is an artist, but he only has so much artistic talent. Do you know what our Chen family inherits the most? That is the body! Look, everyone in our family has been in the military, except for him, Chen Yifeng. br>Look, Chen Jingrui used to be a tank soldier. Although Although he was kicked out of the army, he was also a soldier. Chen Mingli, that's an artilleryman! Look at me again, these muscles... You said Chen Yifeng is just like Li Kui practicing calligraphy, that's funny! "Chen Lihua doesn't know! He came out of nowhere, picked up a cigarette and started smoking.
"You can't say that. It is said that Zhang Fei's calligraphy is very good. Maybe Lao Chen is good at both civil and military skills. Didn't he stay in a sports school for a while before? He seems to have practiced some Baguazhang." Sun Chen smiled and took the cigarette from the other party.
"Baguazhang? Just him? I guess he stole it from the old man in some park, hahaha." Chen Lihua laughed disdainfully.
In his opinion, after so many years of training, he can defeat Chen Yifeng in a few seconds.
When I was young, it was because I didn’t know anything, so I was defeated by the opponent’s numbers.
"Oh, Chen Xi is messing around again. I already told him yesterday that this kid..."
"Huh? What happened to him just now?" Chen Lihua has been responsible for security issues elsewhere and doesn't know what happened at the auction.
"Forget it, it's okay." Sun Chen waved his hand and didn't want to mention it anymore.
"Mr. Sun, I think Chen Xi is good. After graduation and returning to China, he will definitely be able to do great things. Don't you like painting? You can ask him to think of any special new models for business. Is it possible to follow Chen Yifeng? What do you mean, this guy is very bad Sooner or later, we will be kicked away by him..."
"Chen Xi? Haha...besides, let's talk." The scene at the auction just now made Sun Chen regard Chen Xi as unlearned and unskilled. How can a child who only knows how to spend money follow him in doing things?
“Four and a half million!”
"Four.7 million!"
At the auction, two paintings by Chen Yifeng have been sold for more than four million.
"Dear, your guess is really accurate, it will break five million soon." Saori said excitedly, taking Chen Xi's arm.
Jin Nana next to her couldn't help but narrowed her eyes again when she saw how smoothly Saori screamed.
“Someone actually offered such a high price for two broken paintings. Why buy them back? Hang them on the wall to show off cultural figures?” The handsome guy who made the crazy bid before looked at these people on the field and felt a little displeased. untie.
"Young man, you don't understand this. We all earn our own money, not from our families. Everything we need to buy must be able to generate additional value for us. Look, it's almost the same as you just now That young man actually spent so much money to buy a set of cards, hey~" an old man in the front row turned his head and said.
"Oh, how do you know that I didn't earn my money by myself? If you are young, the money must be given by your family? You are really funny. What is the saying? Yes, rely on the old and sell the old. !"
"You...then what do you do? I don't think I've seen this outstanding young entrepreneur like you in the news."
"It's none of your business. , I am not Do you want to be in the news? These days, the real rich people don’t make their own money. You look better this time. Are you some kind of celebrity? I haven't seen you before..." The middle-aged man glanced at the young man and felt that he had nothing but good looks, so he didn't bother to argue with him.
"Tch, is it a crime to be handsome? If you are handsome, you have to be a star to make money? You are really short-sighted..."
The handsome guy curled his lips.
“Seven million, the deal is done, congratulations to this gentleman.”
Chen Yifeng’s painting was finally sold for seven million, making it the most expensive item sold at auction so far.
The person who took these two paintings was an uncle, and his accent sounded like he was from Hong Kong.
"There are still a lot of rich people. With more than seven million, wouldn't it be nice to buy an apartment?"
"Young man, you know nothing."
"..."
At the venue, a young man was scolded just after he finished complaining, leaving him speechless.
“Haha.”
"Why are you laughing?"
Seeing Chen Xi covering his mouth, Zhao Lingshan leaned her head over and asked.
“I was thinking, if Lao Chen casually drew a picture of a chicken eating rice with his feet, would these people also spend millions to buy it?”
“Hehe , No one would say that about my father.”
“Hey, I think all those art academies should be closed down, and everyone should become the boss anyway,” Chen Xi sighed. tone.
"The next auction item is limited edition sneakers! There are thirty pairs in total...the base price is 100,000!" The host picked up the microphone again.
“One hundred and fifty thousand!”
“Two hundred thousand!”
“…”
“Fifty thousand!”
< br>
As soon as these sneakers came out, they were snapped up by young people at the scene.
“What sneakers are there to grab?” Jin Nana looked around. It seemed that except Chen Xi and that handsome guy, almost all the young people had bid.
"How do I feel? There is something wrong here..." Chen Xi touched his chin.
He heard a lot about the girl's phone call yesterday.
These young people should be sent here by their parents.
Chen Xi himself was also sent by Ma Yueling.
There must be some connection here.
Limited edition sneakers often adopt a limited production strategy, and the production quantity is far less than that of regular edition sneakers. This scarcity directly leads to an increase in market demand and an increase in price.
Some sneakers also have unique numbers or details, such as limited edition sneakers for family and friends. These special elements further enhance the uniqueness and collection value of the sneakers.
But in fact, the key is speculation. Some professional speculators and capital flood into the market and earn the price difference through hoarding and driving up prices.
There are thirty pairs of sneakers here. Even if a pair costs 10,000 yuan, it still costs 300,000 yuan.
If it is signed by a certain star, the value will go up.
The current bid is five hundred thousand, which seems very reasonable, but Chen Xi still feels weird.
“Isn’t it said that many of the items in this auction are foreclosed? They all belong to some boss.” Zhao Lingshan asked.
"That's a lot. During the financial crisis, many companies in coastal areas closed down, and there were bosses of all sizes. But according to Uncle Sun, the biggest boss was some candy from Guangdong. The CEO of an industrial group is known as the Sugar King of Guangdong Province and seems to be a giant among private enterprises.”
"The production of sugar should not have much impact. It is a necessity. So many foods contain sugar. If people don't eat sugar, they will feel weak."
"This company There are often many reasons for bankruptcy, such as changes in the market environment, business management Various factors such as bad practices and broken capital chains are involved. However, there are many small companies under such a large group, and the business scope is very wide. I guess the setback of the group caused a chain reaction, thus affecting the main sugar industry. ..." Chen Xi analyzed it based on the information given by Sun Chen. (End of this chapter)
