Counterattack 1988

Chapter 773 Yun Ruorou

Today is Li Wenjuan's birthday.

That night, after midnight, Wang Lin wished her happy birthday.

Li Wenjuan said that this is the most meaningful birthday she has ever had.

Wang Lin gave her too much, therefore, this birthday, Li Wenjuan's request is not high, she only needs a glass.

They were going to participate in the auction today, so Wang Lin promised her that he would buy her gifts in the afternoon.

Li Wenjuan naturally agreed.

Xingzi spared time to accompany Wang Lin and the others to the auction site.

There are many auction houses in Tokyo, and there are as many as five well-known local auction houses.

The auction held today is a local auction house.

Wang Lin and the others arrived at the scene ahead of time.

In the on-site auction hall, there is an advance display of the auction items.

Countless buyers from all over the world watched the exhibits on the spot.

Wang Lin saw that in addition to cultural relics, there were also many modern and contemporary paintings and handicrafts in the auction.

Li Wenjuan looked at it and asked Wang Lin, "Brother-in-law, who painted these? Why haven't I heard of any of these painters?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "How many painters do you know? Not to mention foreign painters, but our domestic modern and contemporary painters, how many do you know?"

Li Wenjuan chuckled and said, "Brother-in-law, I don't know much, so do you?"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "I don't know either."

Xing Zi said: "These painters are from my country, Britain, France and other countries. Their works are very famous in the international auction circle. Like this "Girl in the Morning Light", this artist's work has been auctioned for 300 million before. high dollar prices.”

Wang Lin was taken aback: "Really? 300 million US dollars? That's not cheap. It's surprising that the works of a modern and contemporary artist can have such value."

Being a painter is a special profession.

A real painter is a person who can't die from being poured with boiling water. He only wants to paint, and he can't do other things if he doesn't want to.

There are also two types of painters, one is professional painters who are paid by a unit; the other is freelance painters who make a living by selling their paintings.The professional characteristics of a painter are independence, sincerity, and artistic sincerity.

The saddest and most embarrassing thing about this profession is that the value of the living people and their works of art is generally not high.Therefore, there is a popular saying in the circle of painters, which is called the conclusion of the coffin.

Painting pays attention to artistic conception, genre and technique.

From our level, we don’t quite agree with the works of many painters, but he is an art professor, art is not a child’s play, and doing this is not a fool’s day, so we always feel that maybe we still can’t understand them deeply. .

The consciousness and techniques of some painters are superb and higher than this era. It takes time to settle and recognize.

Wang Lin will not easily judge the quality of a painting, because this is an area he is not good at.Every painting is the artist's own child, casual bad comments will only reveal one's ignorance and superficiality.But he can say, I don't like this work, or I like this work very much.Whether your work is good or not is one thing, but whether you can get my approval is another matter.

They walked up to the set of bronzes and looked at the display in the glass case.

A set of eight, including various tableware and wine vessels commonly used by ancient people.

Wang Lin looked very carefully.

He doesn't understand antiques, and he can't tell if they are real or fake.

But the public auctions held by this kind of auction house all have authentication certificates issued by authoritative departments. If he really bought a counterfeit, Wang Lin can claim for compensation. The money he earns from the claim will far exceed the value of the artifact itself.

It is also unlikely that the auction house smashed its own brand. If such an incident happened, the reputation of the auction house would be bad, and it would not be able to survive in the industry.

Therefore, Wang Lin believed that it was genuine.

Xing Zi asked: "Wang Linjun, the shapes of these utensils are a bit weird, did people in ancient China really use such utensils?"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "The aesthetics of each era is different. Some cultures in your country are also very weird in my opinion."

Sachiko smiled slightly: "Yes. It's like the world-famous Sphinx. When we look at it now, we find it incredible."

Before the opening, Wang Lin looked at all the exhibits.

In addition to the set of bronzes he was looking at, he also took a fancy to a painting, which was the "Girl in the Morning Light" that Sachiko had just mentioned.

Morning light and maiden, when these two words are put together, they have a unique beauty of artistic conception.

Give people the beauty of vitality, beauty, purity and hope.

Countless painters and photographers have created with these two words.

This is an oil painting. The beautiful girl in the work is sitting among the yellow rose bushes, holding a yellow rose in her hand, looking ahead calmly. The morning light is faint, and the dew on the flowers and plants is clearly visible.

The whole painting gives people a kind of beautiful longing, and a pure breath jumps on the paper.

When you are in a bad mood, looking at such paintings can refresh you.

The painter creates a charming atmosphere through the sunrise and the sparkling water surface, making the most ordinary scenery in the scenery full of vitality, and forming a gentle texture with the characters.This painting is expressed by modern photography techniques, such as soft-focus lenses or soft mirrors to produce hazy romantic atmosphere, which reminds people of the dancers in Degas's paintings and the still lifes of Italian painter Morandi.

A charming painting can make people stand for a long time, let people fall into reverie, and let their imagination run wild.

Wang Lin's main focus is design, but design requires a solid foundation in painting, so he actually knows a little about painting skills.

Of course he didn't know how to paint in oil.

But he will appreciate it.

He felt that the painting was well drawn and had emotions in it, which could arouse his aesthetic resonance.

"Brother-in-law! Let's go! Entering the arena!" Li Wenjuan's voice came from beside my ears.

Wang Lin's thoughts were drawn back to reality from the painting.

"Okay." He smiled slightly, facing the girl in the painting.

"Brother-in-law, is this painting good? But the woman in this painting is very beautiful."

"Do you only see women's beauty?"

"Well, there is still the beauty of the morning light."

"anything else?"

"This painting gives me a very peaceful feeling, just like seeing the water in Tianchi, it can calm my impetuous heart."

Wang Lin smiled and said: "That's right. When looking at a painting, one is to see the skill of painting, and the other is to look at the artistic conception. You can see the artistic conception of the painting, which is the improvement of aesthetics."

Li Wenjuan said: "Brother-in-law, I have gained a lot from traveling this time. I feel that I can design more beautiful clothes when I go home."

Wang Lindao: "Fashion design can learn from these aesthetics, but the function of clothing is to emphasize practicality, so it cannot be abstracted."

"I know!" Li Wenjuan raised her chin and smiled, revealing her snow-white teeth.

At this time, a crisp voice sounded beside Wang Lin: "Are you Wang Lin, President Wang of Aishu Group?"

Wang Lin turned his head and looked at a young woman in front of him.

This woman is very beautiful, the kind of beauty that can be seen for thousands of years, and has a superb temperament. That kind of scholarly temperament cannot be concealed, nor can it be acted out.This is the kind of beauty that is full of poetry and calligraphy.

She was wearing very ordinary clothes, a well-washed white long-sleeved sweater, a pair of tight white jeans, and a very ordinary headband for her hair, which was casually tied into a loose ponytail.

Wang Lin looked at her, as if seeing the girl in the painting just now, the scene was the same, giving people a bright, pure, beautiful, and energetic feeling.

The woman was slim, smiling slightly, looking at Wang Lin.

Although Wang Lin didn't know her, he still said respectfully, "I'm Wang Lin, who are you?"

The woman smiled sweetly, and stretched out her hand generously: "My name is Yun Ruorou."

"Surnamed Yun? Yun Duo's Yun?"

"Yes, Yun Ruorou."

Wang Lin shook her hand lightly, her hand felt like icy muscles, cool and soft.

"Miss Yun, do you know me?" Wang Lin asked.

"Mr. Wang, when I was in college in China last year, you came to our school to recruit, and I accompanied my friend to that job fair."

"Oh, who is your friend?"

"Guo Lingling, she is your secretary now."

"What a coincidence!"

"This world is small." Yun Ruorou smiled sweetly, "I didn't expect to see Mr. Wang in a foreign country."

"Are you studying in Tokyo now? Or working?"

"I'm in Tokyo to do something. Mr. Wang, are you coming to this auction too?"

"just looking around."

"Mr. Wang, shall we sit together? Let's chat together. It's rare to meet an acquaintance."

"are you alone?"

"And my grandfather, he met friends and asked me to come to this auction alone."

"Okay, then let's enter the arena together."

Li Wenjuan opened her eyes wide, looking at Yun Ruorou curiously.

Feeling Li Wenjuan's scrutiny, Yun Ruorou smiled lightly: "This beautiful lady must be President Wang's wife, right?"

Li Wenjuan blushed slightly.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "She is my younger sister, Li Wenjuan."

Yun Ruorou showed a little doubt, why is Wang Lin's younger sister named Li?
Li Wenjuan said: "Wang Lin is my brother-in-law!"

Yun Ruorou smiled and said, "Miss Li, hello, nice to meet you."

Wang Lin introduced Xingzi to her again.

After entering the arena, Wang Lin and the others received a number plate, and Wang Lin had the number 98 in his hand.

The seats in the auction house are arranged very tightly, and it looks like it can seat more than [-] people, which is almost full of people.

An auction like this is not considered a large auction, nor is it a large auction company such as Christie's or Sotheby's. It can attract so many people to support it, thanks to the organizer's advertising.

Auction is one of the oldest ways to transfer property rights. It originated from the public bidding behavior in order to transfer their own surplus products after human beings have surplus products.At first, people wanted to transfer or sell their own products, rather than being able to specialize in auction activities. It was only because of the convenience and success of this bidding method that it aroused people's interest and more attention.

The auction model of modern civilization began in London in the eighteenth century. In 1744 and 1766, two auction houses "Sotheby's" and "Christie's" were successively established in London.It has had a huge impact on the auction industry in the world for more than [-] years.

Xingzi sat on Wang Lin's left, Li Wenjuan sat on Wang Lin's right, and Yun Ruorou sat next to Li Wenjuan.

Wang Lin was not familiar with the wealthy class in the East, but he could tell that the people who came here to participate in the auction were dressed in unusual clothes.

Although Dongyang's stock price has collapsed, it has not yet reached the point of complete collapse.

During this period, the Orientals were still arrogant and had a good life, and their shopping habits around the world had not changed.

For this kind of auction, there are a lot of locals from the East, and some are foreign faces, including Asia, Africa and Europe.

Auction starts.

The first lot is a box of one-yen coins from the Meiji period in Japan.

Wang Lin didn't know the value of this thing, so he asked Xing Zi beside him, "How much is this worth in the market?"

Sachiko said in a low voice, "It's worthless. This is the seventh year of the Meiji era. The most coins were minted in this year, and there are many left in the world, so they are not worth much."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Xingzi, do you know anything about antiques?"

Xingzi stretched out her right hand, twirled it lightly, and said with a smile, "I know a little bit. My father likes to collect all kinds of antiques. I learned some from him."

Sure enough, the starting price of this one-yuan coin was very low, only 30 yen, which is [-] yuan.

This is the auction price of one coin, but there are one hundred such coins in this box, that is to say, the starting price of this box of coins has reached 10 yen, 3000 yuan.

Wang Lin is not interested in this at all, so he doesn't pay attention.

Yun Ruorou suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Mr. Wang, you can buy it."

Wang Lin said in a daze: "Miss Xingzi said that this kind of coin is worthless."

Yun Ruorou smiled lightly: "Coins are indeed worthless, but Mr. Wang has heard of the story of buying a box and returning pearls, right?"

Wang Lin nodded: "Of course."

Yun Ruoqian said: "Mr. Wang, if you trust me, buy it!"

For the convenience of talking to Wang Lin, she leaned over Li Wenjuan.

Li Wenjuan naturally heard it clearly, and said: "I said that you are really strange. You have said that this kind of coin is worthless, and you still asked my brother-in-law to buy it? What's your intention?"

Yun Ruo said with a slight smile: "I just said clearly enough, coins are worthless, but there are valuable things."

Wang Lin thought about it, and said in a deep voice, "You mean the box?"

Yun Ruoqian nodded slightly, and said, "Exactly."

Li Wenjuan said: "Brother-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense, she is a little girl, how can she understand this?"

Yun Ruoqian laughed like a silver bell: "Miss Li, I think you are younger than me?"

Li Wenjuan straightened her waist: "How am I younger than you?"

Yun Ruoqian's pretty face flushed, and she pursed her small cherry lips: "Mr. Wang, trust me."

Li Wenjuan said: "Hey, it's strange, if you see that this box is unusual, why didn't you bid to buy it?"

Yun Ruoqian hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't have much money, and I have items I want to photograph, so I can't spend money casually. Mr. Wang, if you don't believe me, forget it. This leak will be picked up by others go."

Wang Lin really didn't understand antiques, but he was slightly pondering when he heard the words.

It was the first time he and Yun Ruoqian met. The last time she accompanied Guo Lingling to the interview, she only saw Wang Lin outside, but Wang Lin had never met her.

And Guo Lingling never mentioned this friend in front of Wang Lin.

Now, can Wang Lin believe her words?

At this time, the on-site auction had already started, and someone raised a placard.

The auctioneer shouted: "No. 55, 11!"

The currency here is settled in Japanese Yen.

Raising a card once adds [-].

To Wang Lin's astonishment, there was only one person raising a placard at the scene, and no one bid.

If Wang Lin didn't raise his sign, the box of coins would be auctioned off by No. 55 for 11 yen.
