Collection of Gods

Chapter 890 The Last Lot

The finale item, the Imperial Green Jade Dragon and Phoenix Plaque, brought the atmosphere of the charity auction to its climax, and then auctioneer Lin Yuehua began bidding on the last item of the night.

"Dear guests, next..."

"Let us now invite the 67th lot of today's charity auction, which is also the last lot of this charity auction!"

"This is the handwritten calligraphy work "Man Jiang Hong" donated by Mr. Tang Yuan, Chairman of Zhonghe Charity Foundation. The starting price of this calligraphy work is 1 yuan. The bidding starts now!"

As Lin Yuehua's voice fell, two concierge girls walked out from the side of the stage, holding the framed calligraphy works in their hands, and slowly walked to the center of the stage.

At the same time, the LED screen behind the stage showed not only detailed photos of the calligraphy work, but also photos of Tang Yuan writing "Man Jiang Hong" with his brush.

When many bigwigs at the scene heard that the last auction item was actually Tang Yuan's calligraphy work, some of them couldn't help but have meaningful expressions, and netizens who were watching the live broadcast on the Internet started discussing it directly.

"I admit that Tang Yuan is really awesome, but isn't it a bit unreasonable for him to put his calligraphy works up for auction? Even if he has some attainments in calligraphy at such a young age, it is impossible for him to reach the auction level!"

"Tsk tsk, it feels a bit anticlimactic. I feel like Tang Yuan donating just any ordinary collection would be much better than donating his own calligraphy works!"

"It's obvious that the last auction item is for selling Tang Yuan's reputation. Anyone who wants to please Tang Yuan will bid for it and spend money to make good connections. There is no objection to the calligraphy itself. Even if Tang Yuan's calligraphy is written like a piece of dog shit, there will still be people who pay a high price to buy it!"

"Shut up, you superficial idiots. Open your eyes and take a closer look. Putting aside Tang Yuan's identity and status, just looking at this calligraphy work itself, it is definitely a master-level calligraphy work. Even those calligraphy masters are not necessarily better than Tang Yuan!"

"Fuck, man upstairs, you are such a complete lickspittle, but it seems useless for you to lick Tang Yuan like crazy here, right? You speak as if it were true!"

"Ahem, that guy just now seems to be really good. You can check out his homepage. He's the vice president of your province's calligraphy association..."

"Ah? Could it be that Tang Yuan's calligraphy work is really amazing? Take a closer look, it seems to be pleasing to the eye!"

……

Many netizens have different opinions. Many people think that this calligraphy work is of the same nature as the previous auction items which are not valuable in themselves but have extraordinary significance to the individuals. They do not think that this calligraphy work itself has much value. Even if some professionals who know how to appreciate calligraphy speak out, they are quickly drowned out by tens of thousands of comments.

Compared with many ordinary netizens, many bigwigs at today's charity auction, no matter whether they are keen on calligraphy and painting collection or not, still have the most basic vision and knowledge. Therefore, some bigwigs who didn't take it seriously at first, after carefully watching Tang Yuan's calligraphy work, couldn't help but uttered some surprises. Obviously, the level of Tang Yuan's calligraphy work far exceeded their psychological expectations.

While many bigwigs were still in doubt and waiting, the super bigwig sitting in the front row had silently raised the bidding number plate in his hand.

"500 million!"

The first super boss to make an offer was none other than Ali Ma, who was sitting next to Tang Yuan.

"600 million!" Xiaomi Lei, who had just been chatting and laughing with Jingdong Qiang, raised the price by 100 million without saying a word. The two's abnormal behavior aroused the curiosity of the others at the table.

Penguin Horse is Ali Ma's old rival. When he saw Ali Ma's performance, he immediately smelled something unusual.

Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Thinking of this, Penguin Horse subconsciously raised the auction number plate in his hand and gestured to Lin Yuehua on the stage: "700 million!"

"800 million!"

Just when Penguin Ma hadn't even put down the bidding number plate in his hand, Ali Ma immediately raised the price by another 100 million.

Ali Ma's performance immediately made Penguin Ma more certain of his thoughts.

Soon, a scene that made many netizens feel particularly magical appeared.

At the beginning, Ali Ma, Xiaomi Lei and Penguin Ma began to compete to bid, and then the number of people participating in the auction not only did not decrease, but increased, and the price also continued to rise.

In a blink of an eye, the auction price of Tang Yuan's calligraphy work "Man Jiang Hong" exceeded 20 million yuan. After the price exceeded 20 million yuan, Penguin Horse, who had been unwavering in following Ali Ma, now hesitated.

Ali Ma did not hesitate at all for Penguin Ma's hesitation, and still raised the price without hesitation: "2200 million!"

When Penguin Horse heard this, he first looked at Ali Ma, who looked very calm and composed. Then he looked at Tang Yuan, only to see that Tang Yuan had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and looked calm and composed, with an expression that made people a little unpredictable.

In this situation, Penguin Ma hesitated for a moment and finally did not raise the bidding number plate in his hand. After Penguin Ma gave up the bidding, Xiaomi Lei competed with Ali Ma for several rounds. Finally, Tang Yuan's calligraphy work "Man Jiang Hong" was sold for 2500 million yuan and fell into Ali Ma's hands.

The moment Lin Yuehua dropped the auction hammer in her hand, Alima, who had been calm and composed, suddenly showed a very bright smile on his face.

When Penguin Horse saw Ali Ma's expression, his heart skipped a beat, and then a thought flashed through his mind: Oh no, the other party must have taken advantage of him!
"Boss Ma, Boss Lei, please tell me."

"Does this calligraphy work by Mr. Tang have any meaning?"

"You have been persistent from the beginning to the end. You must know something, right?"

Everyone present was an old hand. When they saw Ali Ma and Xiaomi Lei perform like this, they knew that Tang Yuan's calligraphy work must have some meaning, otherwise the two would never perform like this.

If other people bid for Tang Yuan's calligraphy works, they might want to take this opportunity to build a relationship with Tang Yuan, but for Ali Ma and Xiaomi Lei, there is no need for them to do so, because both the cross-holdings of Wahuang Technology and the board structure of Zhonghe Charity Foundation have tied them closely to Tang Yuan.

Under such circumstances, the two still chose to persevere in bidding for Tang Yuan's calligraphy works. There must be another reason...
