Chapter 325 Special hobby! (Leader 46)

The main venue of the auction was located in a certain palace of Jieji Palace. When Su Yiyang and the three entered the venue, the venue was almost full.

After showing the invitation letter, the waiter at the scene led the three of them to the designated seats on the invitation letter and sat down.The position is not very forward, nor particularly rearward, it belongs to the middle position.

Although they are all well-known stars in China, their fame in foreign countries is far less than when they were in China. It is estimated that they can sit in the middle position because of He Zhengxiang's relationship.

The size of the venue is very large, and the seats on the spot are roughly estimated to accommodate about 300 people.The seats are not too close together, the distance between front, back, left and right is moderate, and the seats are very comfortable.

At eight o'clock, the auction officially started.

The lights at the scene changed, the lights under the stage were dimmed, and the lights on the auction stage were brightened. The originally slightly noisy sound in the venue gradually became quieter.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked quickly onto the auction stage.The middle-aged man was a blond and blue-eyed white man. Standing on the auction stage, facing many high-class people below, he didn't look timid at all, and he was full of aura.

"Hi everyone, I am Richards, the Chief Auction Officer of Christie's Auction House. It is a great honor to be the auctioneer of this auction. This auction is jointly organized by the Royal Family of Thailand and Christie's Auction House. Now I announce that this auction Officially begin!"

The auctioneer Richards had a loud voice and spoke standard English. His aura was full and he exuded a strong self-confidence.

The auction started, and many people around opened the pockets next to the seats, took out the earphones in the pockets, and put them on their ears.Many guests came from all over the world, and many of them could not understand English.

The earphones can be tuned, and there are people on site doing simultaneous interpretation, including Chinese, Thai, Russian, French and other world mainstream languages, to ensure that all guests have no barriers in language communication.

Fang Hanyu and Wu Jin on Su Yiyang's left and right sides had already put on earphones. Su Yiyang didn't wear earphones, because his English was not bad, not very good, but it was very easy to understand what Richards said.

"Now please present the first collection, three bottles of 1968 wine from Petrus Winery, with a starting price of one hundred thousand dollars!"

Accompanied by Richards' voice, the bottom of the auction stage cracked slowly, and a glass cover rose from under the stage. Inside the glass cover were placed three bottles of well-preserved wine, which looked extraordinarily dignified under the light.

At the same time, a projection suddenly appeared behind Richards, with a very detailed introduction about Petus Winery.

Petrus Winery is one of the famous ancient wineries in France with a very long history. The red wine of Petrus has always been the guest of honor in major auctions and loved by many wine lovers.

Even so, when Su Yiyang heard Charlize say that the starting price of three bottles of wine was one hundred thousand dollars, he was still a little shocked.

The starting price for three bottles of wine is 60 U.S. dollars. Converted into Chinese coins, that is a full 20 Chinese dollars, which is equivalent to [-] Chinese dollars for a bottle of wine. This is not drinking at all, it is drinking gold at all!

Just as Su Yiyang clicked his tongue inwardly, the first group of collections had already started to be auctioned in full swing.

"15 dollars!"

"17 dollars!"

"18 dollars!"

……

The price calls were dense and then thin, and finally this group of rare red wines from Petrus Winery was successfully purchased by a British rich man at a price of 22 US dollars.

The first group of collections successfully bid for the auction, which made a good start for the auction. The next group of collections were pushed up one after another, and the starting price was gradually increasing.

Ceramic calligraphy and paintings from Huaguo, Western oil paintings and sculptures, emerald gemstones from Thailand, and luxury goods are the main force in the auction.

The atmosphere at the scene is getting higher and higher, and almost every collection has exceeded one million Chinese coins, and now it is marching towards tens of millions of Chinese coins.

"67 dollars!"

……

"73 dollars!"

……

Su Yiyang looked at Fang Hanyu who was frequently bidding on the left side, with a little surprise on his face, and asked Wu Jin on the right side: "Brother Yu likes antique calligraphy and painting? Seeing him like this, he looks like he must get it!"

Wu Jin responded with a smile: "You guessed right. Brother Yu usually likes to collect some antique calligraphy and paintings, or he just likes to play with birds. You will know when you have the opportunity to go to Brother Yu's house. Brother Yu's family has a special The collection room is full of collections accumulated by Brother Yu over the years, many of which are hard-to-find boutiques."

"Haha, Brother Yu's hobby is not bad. Brother Yu's children will enjoy the blessings in the future. These antique calligraphy and paintings will only become more and more expensive in the future. It is not only an investment opportunity, but also satisfies my hobby. Kill two birds with one stone!" Su Yiyang said with a smile .

Compared to Fang Hanyu, Su Yiyang and Wu Jin didn't participate in the auction, not because they couldn't afford it, but because they really didn't have anything to auction. They didn't have the slightest interest in those expensive calligraphy and painting antiques.

"80 dollars!"

"Okay, the Chinese friend here offered 80 US dollars, is there any higher bid?"

Charlize actively tried to mobilize the nature of the guests with her provocative voice.

The calligraphy and paintings being auctioned now are the works of Liu Chuanyuan, a famous landscape painter of the Tang Dynasty in Huaguo. Liu Chuanyuan's works are very rare today, and such complete works preserved on the table are even rarer, which can be said to be extremely precious, otherwise It is also impossible to climb to such a high price.

Now the only person competing with Fang Hanyu in the audience is a collector from Japan. Facing Charlize's instigation, he lowered his head in thought, as if he was considering whether the current price is worth it.

A few seconds later, he shook his head slightly, did not bid any more, and gave up competing with Fang Hanyu for the calligraphy and painting.

Seeing this scene, Charlize knew it well, and quickly read three numbers, then swung the wooden hammer in his hand heavily, and the crisp sound spread throughout the auction house.

"Congratulations to this gentleman from Huaguo, successfully photographing the work of Liu Qingyuan, a famous landscape painter in Tang Dynasty in Huaguo!"

The transaction price of 80 U.S. dollars, converted into Chinese currency, is about 500 million Chinese currency. This price is already a very high price under the circumstances that those ancient and modern celebrities cannot draw calligraphy.

There was sparse applause at the scene, symbolic congratulations on the successful bidding of the collection.

Fang Hanyu, who had won the auction, looked extremely excited with a red face.

"Congratulations, Brother Yu!"

"Brother Yu, please eat another day!"

Su Yiyang and Wu Jin smiled and congratulated Hanyu.

"Hahaha, it's easy to talk about, what do you want to eat, don't change the day, after the auction is over, let's go directly!" Fang Hanyu waved his hand, with great interest.

Seeing Fang Hanyu's appearance, Su Yiyang and Wu Jin were immediately happy.

Come on, supper is settled!
