Chapter 1045 Fever
Li Hua is also paying attention to Fang Ming. His thoughts are actually similar to Yoshino's. However, after the auction started, Fang Ming didn't make too many moves. He was already a little anxious after watching .

However, Fang Ming was beyond his control, so he could only be anxious.

"Grandpa, this...Fang Ming seems to have no intention of making a move."

Since the auction started, Xie Ruifang has been paying attention to Fang Ming's movements. Although they are a little far away from each other, they can still be seen.

"It's just the beginning, and it's not surprising that he didn't make a move."

Xie Zhongzhong shook his head gently, and continued: "Any auction is the same. At the beginning, the auction items were very ordinary. People like Fang Ming must have high vision, so they didn't make a sale. Not surprising at all."

Xie Ruifang is also a person who often participates in auctions, so she is very clear about this, "Well, it is true, it seems that I am in a hurry."

"Let's wait and see. I think the relatively low-priced art after a wave of high-priced artworks will most likely be Fang Ming's target. We'll see what happens then."

Xie Zhongzhong's face remained calm, but what he said showed the unique insight of an old Jianghu. In fact, it was very close to the truth, which had to be admired.

"100 million!"

"300 million!"

……

"500 million!"

……

"700 million!"

Fang Ming didn't pay much attention to the auction at first, because his role here tonight was actually to attract firepower. As for the real auctioneers, they were those arranged by Lu Yao.

In other words, in fact, he is a dispensable person.

However, now that he heard such a rapidly rising price, he couldn't help becoming interested.

You must know that this is US dollars, that is to say, when it reaches 700 million, it is actually equivalent to more than 4000 million RMB.

Such a price is no longer an ordinary thing, not to mention that the price has not stopped, but is increasing at a relatively large rate, which means that the price breaking through 1000 million US dollars or even 3000 or [-] million US dollars is actually No problem at all.

In this way, although Fang Ming said that he didn't have much interest in participating, but anyway, he is idle now, so let's take a look.

Seeing the concerned expression on Fang Ming's face, Lu Yao immediately whispered, "What is being auctioned is a sculpture by Michelangelo."

"Oh, so it's his work, so it's not surprising at all."

Hearing what Lu Yao said, Fang Ming suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen a sculpture of Michelangelo before, but he didn't pay much attention to such foreign works of art because he wasn't very interested in it. up.

Michelangelo, whose full name is Michelangelo Buonarroti, was born in Caprice, Florence in 1475. He is one of the most famous sculptors in art history. Outstanding architects, painters, poets, etc., together with Leonardo Da Vinci and Raphael, are known as the "Three Masters of the Renaissance".His sculptural works are mainly based on figures, focusing on showing the strength and strength of the figures. This pursuit of strength is also very obvious even in female figures.

Because of his outstanding achievements in art, almost all sculptors in the West after him have been influenced by him. No matter what language is used to describe his importance, it is impossible to overstate the importance of such a person. .

Now there are his sculptures put up for auction, even if there is no way to compare with his representative works such as the four statues of "Day", "Night", "Morning" and "Darkness" in front of the Medici tomb, and " "Moses" and "The Great Slave" are famous, but after all, as long as the shadow of a famous tree belongs to Michelangelo, it will definitely be auctioned for a sky-high price.

Sure enough, within a short while, the price had soared to 2000 million US dollars.

Fang Ming couldn't help but touch his nose, 2000 million US dollars, that's more than 1 million RMB, this price is not low.

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Annie beside him whispered, "Do you think the price is high?"

"Hey, yeah, I kind of can't imagine why this... thing costs so much money."

There was a smile on Annie's face, and she said, "I think you have a lot of Chinese antiques that exceed [-] million yuan, right?"

"This... oh, well, you are right, it is true. From this point of view, the price of the Michelangelo sculpture in front of me is actually very normal."

Seeing Fang Ming eating turtles, Lu Yao was delighted, "Hey, what Annie said is not wrong at all, Michelangelo is one of the three masters of the Renaissance, he is definitely a famous person, his It’s not surprising that works are auctioned for tens of millions of dollars.”

Spreading his hand, Fang Ming said: "Well, I admit that this matter is my fault. The reason is that I am not very interested in Western art, so I will not spend so much money on it. of."

"You don't want to pay this money. In fact, there are too many people who are willing to pay this money. There are still a lot of people with 2000 million US dollars."

Lu Yao's words moved Fang Ming's heart, and he immediately raised the 2500 million sign. "

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Lu Yao was stunned for a moment. She knew that Fang Ming really had no interest in Western artworks as he said, and even if he was really interested, he would definitely buy it before the auction. I will communicate with myself, and then I will arrange it myself.

It was almost unexpected that this move came suddenly now.

Opening her mouth, Lu Yao blurted out to ask Fang Ming what he wanted to do almost immediately, but swallowed it back after the words reached her lips: She suddenly realized that since Fang Ming did this, there must be something wrong with him. His reason. In this respect, Fang Ming is a very shrewd person, and he belongs to the kind of person who is much shrewd than himself. How could he make a mistake in such a thing?

2000 million is already not a low price, and now Fang Ming unexpectedly added 500 million all at once, which shocked everyone, because under normal circumstances, after such a price, no matter what People, when raising the price, they will not be so large, but very cautious.

The scene was quiet for a short time. Of course, the price was soon broken.

In the eyes of many people, Fang Ming's bid this time was like a small splash. Although it was a small splash, it was quickly "buried" by a bigger wave.

However, in the eyes of some people, it was far from the same thing, and it caused a great shock.

"Ah! He actually made a move on this?"

Fang Ming did not sell several auction items before, and Yamada gradually became numb. When the sculpture of Michelangelo was auctioned, he did not expect Fang Ming to bid. However, Fang Ming not only bid, but also A great priced offer!

He was shocked immediately.

"Yes...he...he actually made a move...?"

Yoshino did not expect Fang Ming to make a move!So it was also very dumbfounded for a while.

"What shall we do? To shoot or not to shoot?"

Yamada became a little anxious, now he was not thinking about why Fang Ming would make a move at such a time, but to decide whether the two of them should make a move.

"This... I think we'll look again. It seems that after Fang Ming made a bid once, he won't bid anymore..."

However, before Yoshino finished speaking, he had to swallow it back, because Fang Ming quoted another high price at this time:
"3000 million!"

Yamada and Yoshino look at me and I look at you. They are a little dumbfounded at this moment. Fang Ming's price increase this time is also very large. You must know that the previous price was 2400 million!In other words, after adding 500 million at one time last time, now there is a bigger one, adding 600 million at one time!
Could it be that this money is not money in Fang Ming's eyes?How can you play like this?

"Is this really a good thing?"

Such a thought could not help but pop up in Yamada's mind, and then, almost instinctively, he immediately raised the 3100 million sign.

"3100 million!"

"Now the highest bid is 3100 million, and there is no higher price than this!"

"Is there any more? If not, the very rare sculpture of Michelangelo belongs to this gentleman."

……

Shannan's face turned pale suddenly. Although it was said that this was Michelangelo's work, it was not what he wanted—it was not in his plan at all.

It's not that he can't pay this money, but the problem is that if he pays so much money, then his funds will not be very sufficient, and it will be impossible to fight Fang Ming at that time.

So, he regrets it very much now.

However, the price had already been shouted out, and it was too late to repent at this time, so his face suddenly became gloomy.

Yoshino never thought that Yamada would bid!
Therefore, he was also taken aback. When he saw Yamada's gloomy face, he immediately understood that Fang Ming was "fooling him". Come at one price.

"It's over!"

An idea popped up in Yoshino's mind: If Yamada spends such a large amount of money at this time, it will not only affect himself, but also himself, because in this way, the original plan will not be correct. It is possible to implement it, and it is definitely impossible to "fight" with Fang Ming by himself.
