Chapter 179 15 Million Transaction

While they were chatting, all fifteen oil paintings had been authenticated as authentic, and Qiu Guofu excitedly arranged a special sale, preparing to speed up the auction.

"Brother, you really want to make a lot of money this time. The most conservative estimate is that the transaction will be more than 12 million US dollars, at least [-] billion yuan!"

Qiu Guofu is very excited. It has been a long time since such a high-quality master work has been auctioned. Now Picasso, Van Gogh, and Monet are all top masters. Any one is worth tens of millions of dollars. There are many people who grab it. Hard to sell.

This time, Wu Tianyuan sent [-] sheets at a time. This is the highest quality special session in recent years. We must publicize it well and strive for high prices for all transactions.

An oil painting by the French painter Gauguin was sold for US$3 million, RMB 20 billion, setting a record for the most expensive transaction price of a work of art.The previous highest priced artwork was a painting by the French painter Paul Cézanne, which was sold for 1.6 million pounds. The buyer came from Qatar, a small oil-rich Middle Eastern country.

This piece is titled "When will you get married?" "The oil painting was created by Gauguin in 1892. There are two Tahitian women in the painting, which was originally owned by a Swiss collector.

"1948 No. 5" by American abstract expressionist painter Pollock, 9900 million pounds, about 9.4 million yuan.

"Woman Three" by the Dutch-American abstract expressionist painter Kooning, 9750 million pounds, about 9.2 million yuan.

"Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer" by Austrian symbolist painter Klimt, 9520 million pounds, 9.1 million yuan.

Dutch Post-Impressionist Van Gogh's works "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" and "The Postman Lulan" were traded at RMB 8.7 million and RMB 6.4 million.

A few days ago Liu Yiqian also spent 10 billion to buy a painting. Wu Tianyuan really can't appreciate these oil paintings, and he doesn't know what the buyer thinks?

Su Fubi took care of the rest. Hu Yan had to go back to China beforehand, and Wu Tianyuan stayed in London, just in time to help Jenny sort out the latest video materials.

The UK is the birthplace of auctions, and there are hundreds of auction houses, large and small. During this time, Jenny was very attentive and hired five or six people to record the video, and then processed it and passed it on to Wu Tianyuan.A few days ago, I picked up more than a dozen leaks, all of which were Qing porcelain and jade, and the auction results were very good.

Now the reflow is very popular in China. It is said that most of the reflows are genuine products, and there is a sense of pride in saving cultural relics, so they are very popular.

Today's oil painting auction preview, Sotheby's specially held a separate preview, just to highlight the importance of the [-] master works.Wu Tianyuan came to the venue early to see the demeanor of international collectors.

"Hey, aren't you the little girl from last time?"

Suddenly a figure jumped in front of him, it turned out to be the wayward daughter who snatched Wang Shixiang's pen holder last time.

"What little girl? My name is Annie!"

Annie said with a dissatisfied expression, "You bastard, last time I saw you was still taking pictures of the study room, and now you are here to take pictures of oil paintings, where did you come from?"

Wu Tianyuan laughed and said, "Secret! This time you are helping your father to shoot oil paintings again?"

"Don't underestimate people!" Annie wrinkled her face and said loudly, "I studied oil painting in Paris and am also a collector. This time I came here by myself!"

Wu Tianyuan chatted with Annie curiously, and found that although she had a temper like a lady, she was very cheerful and had a unique eye for artworks. She really deserved to be from a prestigious family.

"In the future, if you have a good oil painting, you can come to me directly. The price is not a problem. My family has plenty of money!"

Annie said with a big voice: "It's okay to exchange at the worst. You can choose porcelain and jade as you like. This lady will not treat you badly!"

Wu Tianyuan nodded and left her contact information. No matter whether her family is the mysterious shareholder behind Meiyintang or not, she is definitely a powerful collector, and she will have more contacts in the future.

"Congratulations, Picasso's Sugar Kid has sold for 800 million US dollars!"

Wu Tianyuan watched with excitement as oil paintings were snapped up one by one. The cheapest ones started at tens of millions of dollars. A dozen or so big collectors from all over the world raised their cards one after another. The scene was very lively.

"I offer 200 million!"

Annie shouted, she was very conspicuous in the crowd, many people knew her, there was no way to meet such a wayward person, especially with money!She could only shake her head and give up. She took five paintings by herself and became the big winner.

"Thank you, Miss Anne, for your support. Next time I come to China, I will treat you well."

"Hmph, remember what you said, and I will definitely find you."

Wu Tianyuan watched Annie leave with satisfaction, and Qiu Guofu came over and said, "This eldest lady has always been like this. Her family is of royal blood, and she has a lot of money to spend. The family has thousands of important cultural relics. She is a first-rate collector."

"Chou Guofu patted Wu Tianyuan on the shoulder excitedly and said: "I gave my brother a big gift when we met for the first time. Today, the entire sales volume is 3000 million US dollars, 15 billion RMB!You are now a top member of Sufubi plus important solicitation object, and the commission will be reduced by three points! "

Wu Tianyuan is very satisfied. Now domestic Jiade Baoli and international Sotheby's are top members, and there will be many more opportunities to absorb the energy of Song and Yuan in the future. 15 billion?Almost 30 billion funds in hand now!
This is not counting the six heavy weapons left in the warehouse. Judging from this situation, each piece starts at least 5000 million US dollars, and it is possible to exceed [-] million US dollars. Keep it for now and wait for the critical moment.

This time, Wu Tianyuan has a deep understanding of the popularity of Western artworks, while the cognitive scope of Chinese paintings is still small, and it is only popular in Southeast Asia.Oil painting masters are used all over the world, and like porcelain, they are sought after by top local tyrants and become their favorite investment to show off.

Back at the hotel, Wu Tianyuan was lying on the bed, and his ears started to swell recently. Like the last evolution, he has absorbed the energy of the Ming Dynasty recently. It seems that he will be able to break through again in the near future. In the future, he will be able to hear the sound of the Ming Dynasty, absorb the energy of the Yuan Dynasty, and hunt for treasures. Ability to improve again.

"Now the level is not enough, when can I become the top VIP of the museum, go in and out of the British and Louvre warehouses casually, absorb energy directly, how domineering!"

Wu Tianyuan recalled the last time Henry refused his tough attitude, damn it, wait until I find more of your treasures, see if you can still stand up?
"Now that we have 30 billion funds in hand, the Sanxi Hall, the Old Summer Palace, the Secret Collection of the Inner Palace, Prince Gong's Mansion, and the Hall of Beauty are almost complete. In the future, we can continue to replenish the exhibits. What's the next step?"

Wu Tianyuan suddenly had no goal. It would be wrong to say that there was no goal. The most far-reaching goal is to get together the nine bronze wares. Now that he has the sheep head statue from the Louvre in his hand, it seems impossible to complete the task and there is hope for success.

"Shall I take you on a treasure hunt? It's in Spain!"

Suddenly the silver cross that he always carried with him yelled loudly, Wu Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment, by the way, he almost forgot about this so-called key to the kingdom of heaven.

"There is such a thing?"

After Wu Tianyuan finished the exchange, he excitedly asked Wang Hong to book a plane to Spain tomorrow. This time, he had a goal, to go to Spain!
