Chapter 249 Sky-high Price Oil Painting
Chai Wei felt that Gu Xueying was a little impulsive, but saw the surprised look in Lu Jingyao's eyes.
He suddenly felt that it was worthwhile again, and looked at Lu Jingyao with a slightly proud look.
Chai Wei has actually been compared with Lu Jingyao by his father in recent years. His father was far ahead of Lu's father in the domestic wealth rankings back then.
It's a pity that the tiger father and the dog son.
Chai Wei was far behind Lu Jingyao, and because of his father's frequent comparisons, he kept holding a breath in his heart, wanting to surpass Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao couldn't understand Chai Wei's inexplicable desire to win, so he simply raised the sign and continued to bid: "Twenty million euros."
After nearly doubling the price in one breath, the price of this jar has now reached 150 million yuan. Chai Wei is still bidding against Lu Jingyao.
Chai Wei hesitated whether to continue bidding.
Gu Xueying, on the other hand, felt more and more that this was what Xu Youyou wanted. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew that Lu Jingyao seemed to really love Xu Youyou.
Lu Jingyao's current behavior was also considered by Gu Xueying to make the beauty smile.
"Twenty-one million euros." Gu Xueying held up a sign and called out the price.
Chai Wei frowned slightly, not liking being pushed away by Gu Xueying.
Gu Xueying smiled softly and said: "Brother Awei, didn't you say that grandpa likes blue and white jars very much? I originally wanted to buy this piece of porcelain as your grandpa's birthday gift this year."
Chai Wei did say this at first, but the current price made him feel that it was too high.
Gu Xueying showed a very decent smile on her face and said: "As a child, filial piety comes first. You don't have to worry about buying me a gift, as long as you can let your grandfather get something he loves."
What Gu Xueying meant by saying this was that she had given up on getting her favorite collection at this auction, and instead put the amount of money she planned to spend on her on this auction.
To be honest, Chai Wei only thought that Gu Xueying was a good marriage partner at first, but now he couldn't help but be moved when he heard what she said.
He has seen all kinds of girls who desperately want to make money from him. It is rare for him to see a girl as knowledgeable and filial as Gu Xueying, who is willing to give up the sky-high price treasure she got, just to help him fight against his opponent. .
"Xueying, if my grandfather knew that he had a sensible granddaughter-in-law like you, he would definitely be very happy." Chai Wei praised.
Gu Xueying responded with a shy smile.
Chai Wei was not stingy with his female companions. The amount he originally planned to give Gu Xueying as his girlfriend was about 50 million, which after conversion was about 6 million euros.
Lu Jingyao really liked this big blue and white jar, and he was really flush with cash, so he made an offer: "Twenty-five million euros!"
Both Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao thought that this price could directly kill the competition.
But he didn't expect that Gu Xueying would suffer the consequences for herself, but she would also overwhelm Xu Youyou.
Chai Wei said: "Twenty-six million euros."
This price may not sound high, but it actually translates into nearly 200 million yuan.
Lu Jingyao said directly without blinking: "Thirty million euros."
Chai Wei:......
It was really difficult for Chai Wei to continue chasing this time. He didn't come to Europe to help his father, and all he spent on bidding was his own private money.
Although he wouldn't be unable to follow her, if he did, it would hurt his wallet a bit.
Gu Xueying wanted to persuade her again, but Chai Wei held her hand and said with a smile: "We tried our best. If grandpa knew that you were so filial to him, he would like you very much even if you didn't take the baby off."
Gu Xueying forced a smile on her face.
For some reason, even though she only lost this round of auctions, she always felt as if she had lost her entire life.
There were several collections at the back, but Gu Xueying could no longer arouse any interest. Just to prevent herself from being too disadvantaged, she reluctantly showed her love for a set of pink diamond jewelry. The market price of that set of jewelry is about 30 million yuan, and the starting price is set at 2 million euros.
Chai Wei just called out a price.
Lu Jingyao immediately followed: "Three million euros."
Xu Youyou was not very interested in this set of pink diamond jewelry, and Lu Jingyao did this purely to cause harm.
Chai Wei couldn't help but glare at him and said: "Mr. Lu, the beauty of a gentleman is the beauty of adulthood. I gave you the big blue and white jar before, so don't snatch it from me this time."
However, Lu Jingyao was not led into the ditch so easily. He said directly: "You didn't let me go, you just can't compete with me."
Chai Wei was so angry when he was so ridiculed that he didn't care to slowly raise the price, and directly raised the price to four million euros.
Lu Jingyao chuckled and said, "Mr. Chai, you won't get what you love if you wait too long, ten million euros."
Chai Wei felt that Lu Jingyao was really crazy. He raised the price by more than double in one breath. Reason told him that he should not continue to raise the price, but looking at Lu Jingyao's smiling face, he couldn't hold it back.
"Eleven million euros!"
He thought that if Lu Jingyao continued to bid, he would give up this set of pink diamond jewelry.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingyao spread his hands and said he would no longer follow the price.
Everyone present was very familiar with the prices, and no one continued to rush to take the pictures. This set of pink diamond jewelry worth 30 million yuan was eventually bought by Chai Wei at a high premium of more than 80 million yuan.
Chai Wei suddenly felt that he was really burning too much money, and he regretted it, but in the end he held back. He could only keep comforting himself that the tens of millions he had lost could be replenished by asking his mother to go home.
"It's so beautiful, thank you, I like it very much."
Gu Xueying gave Chai Wei enough face in front of everyone.
But she didn't know why, even though she had defeated Lu Jingyao in the competition, she wasn't happy at all, as if she had lost.
After about half an hour, the last collection was brought up, and there were bursts of exclamations in the audience.
This is a painting.
The title of the painting is quite ordinary.
"Woman Wearing a Watch".
What is extraordinary is the author of this painting: Picasso.
Xu Youyou also didn't expect that her appraisal of calligraphy and painting would also include paintings by foreigners. After she appraised them, she lowered her voice and said, "It's true.
But neither she nor Lu Jingyao participated in the bidding. After all, they had money and preferred to collect works by their own masters.
No matter how famous these Western paintings are, Xu Youyou still doesn't know much about them.
On the contrary, the foreigners present, as if they had been called by some kind of faith, were all excited. The prices were raised one after another, until the painting reached 100 million euros, becoming the real king of today's exchange auction. .
With the sale of this painting completed, the auction has officially ended.
Gu Xueying cheered up and asked Xu Youyou: "With so many collections today, did Miss Xu get what she wanted?"
Xu Youyou nodded: "Thank you for not robbing me."
Gu Xueying was stunned. She was clearly competing for pink diamond jewelry or a blue and white vase. Why would Xu Youyou say this?
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xueying saw the handsome man who bought the castle walking straight towards Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao.
"I really don't understand, why do you have to buy a castle? Don't you know how gloomy it is?" the handsome man complained.
