In the afternoon, the auction entered a normal rhythm. After the three warm-up works were sold at prices below one million, the No. 24 Lot, a small ink-paper work "Cangshan Luyin" by Gong Xian, a famous painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and one of the eight great masters of Jinling, revealed a small unpopular one. The starting price of 2.6 million yuan was higher, and finally the deal was 11.08 million yuan, which exceeded its highest transaction estimated at 4.5 million yuan.

"I heard that this work was originally planned to be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York, but now it is placed at Sotheby's Hong Kong. I guess I want to hype the gimmick of cultural relics returning. Damn it, they have indeed succeeded in operating it!"

Speaking of such a rough and simple thing, even Wang Ruohai couldn't help but curse.

Wang Jing smiled bitterly,

"Now many works are leaked out through smuggling, and then handed over to international giants like Sotheby's and Christie's for packaging and hype, and finally sold them back to China. After a while, at least it's okay to double. Now, on the one hand, some patriots are spending money to return cultural relics, while on the other hand, some greedy guys are sending cultural relics through various means in order to make high profits... Alas, people's hearts are not old, and the world is declining!"

Wang Ruohai also whispered:

"Now some people are calling for not spending money privately, but the effect through government channels is not very good. It would be great if we could have a batch of cultural relics in our hands. If it really doesn't work, we can exchange it for some."

Li Yi felt a little moved when he heard this. He didn't have one group, but he had one, and the value was not low.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he could try it. Anyway, sculptures and the carvings he learned were not very good, so it would be better to exchange them for a few good things from our ancestors. At worst, it would be better to just change the carvings.

While talking in a low voice, the afternoon special show came to an end without realizing it, and "Ju Ruiyingxin" was released!

Chang Yu was unknown during his lifetime, but now he is recognized by the West as a world-class master of painting, known as Modiriani of China.

However, Li Yi believes that this metaphor seems to be more about the unfortunate death of him. It is a pity like Modigliani, rather than that he really reached that level. You know, Modigliani's oil painting "Naked Girl Lying on the Side" was sold at a price of up to 170 million US dollars. Even the sculptures he is not good at, he has also sold a sky-high price of 70.7 million US dollars!

But as a Chinese oil painter, Chang Yu's achievements are definitely eye-catching and dazzling. His works are often used to be on par with Xu Beihong's oil paintings. For a long time, he even alternately broke the auction record of Chinese oil paintings with Xu Beihong!

The starting price of this "Jurui Yingxin" is HK$28 million, and the estimated transaction price is more than 40 million. In the end, a price that surprised everyone was 71 million!

Although this price is still a long way from breaking the auction record of Chinese oil paintings, this price is not only nearly twice the estimated price, but also the second highest price among Chang Yu's works!

In the evening, everything was going step by step. After more than an hour, the highlight came. Two generations of masters and two lotus works, although judging from the size of the works, what does it matter? Since Sotheby's dares to put them together, there must be a reason to convince you.

Because it involves his own income, Li Yi was also a little nervous. He kept praying silently in his heart, but he must not make any mistakes... No, it would be a mistake. If God heard his prayer and made his "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" worth 200 million yuan, then he would add some more and snatch the white jade cup back!

The auction began. Judging from the momentum at the beginning, there is no problem with the highest transaction valuation of "Water Palace Wind" exceeding 7 million, but no one can say how high it can be.

Soon, "The Wind Comes in the Water Palace" broke through the 10 million mark, but what no one expected was that the wind direction suddenly changed drastically and it was a mess!

No way... Li Yi frowned. He watched the auctioneer squirting hard at the auction table, but the price was just slowly moving up little by little. He couldn't help but worry. Damn it, if "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" comes like this later, wouldn't it be a death-making person?

"It's a pity that I can't get over 15 million."

Wang Jing sighed and shook his head, but Li Yi suddenly widened his eyes. He was only 1,000 o'clock now and he couldn't walk. You can't say 1,500... Well, it makes sense, but this is too far away, right?

"Haha, Mr. Wang is teasing you. The real buyer hasn't taken action yet. However, if these people can only raise the price to this point, it will be difficult to get over 15 million."

The real buyer hasn't taken action yet? He stretched his neck and looked at the venue. There was a huge dark film. Can you tell me that?

However, although he was a little confused, the two around him were experts and should not judge the wrong situation. Otherwise, let them estimate the price of "The Prosperous Lotus Wind"?

"Mr. Wang, Brother Wang, how many times can you shoot in the end when you look at the "Prosperous Lotus Wind"?"

Wang Jing hesitated for a moment and said slowly:

"The starting price of 33 million, the highest transaction price of 77 million... Based on various sign analysis, Sotheby's actual valuation of it should be around 110 million!"

Oh, is this what the starting price plus the highest valuation meant? Li Yi recalled some of the previous items and felt that this guess was very likely. So, isn’t this "Water Palace Wind Comes" only available for the current price? So why do you say that the real buyer didn’t sell?

Wang Ruohai looked at Li Yi with a giggle, is your baby joking or does he really think so? How can he calculate that?

Li Yi quickly raised his hand and joked that the atmosphere on the scene was too solemn and active.

But then, Li Yi saw the madness of auctions. Here, money seems to be not money! Because, in a few words, the price of "The Wind in the Water Palace" soared by more than three million, and it had barely crossed the threshold of 14 million and reached 14.05 million!

Wang Jing and Wang Ruohai looked at each other. What did you miss just now? Is this a rhythm that is going to hit 20 million?

However, what they didn't expect was that this price was the final transaction price!

After the hammer was dropped, Wang Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was a bit ups and downs, the result was not beyond their expectations, otherwise it would have been a bit strange.

"The 62 items, 51 items with a transaction price exceeding the highest valuation, with a probability of more than 80%! Is this Sotheby's strategy or is the market really so popular? Ruohai. Think about this question first, and when the auction is over, we will have a conference call with Lao Qin and the others."

With Wang Ruohai nodding, the last item "The Prosperous Lotus Wind" has already appeared!

"I don't think there is no need to introduce who Cui Ruzhuo is? I don't need to introduce the size of this work? I don't need to introduce the work in the Great Hall of the People, right? OK! Below, I will announce the finale of this spring auction calligraphy and painting special show, "The Prosperous Lotus Wind", will start filming!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, more than 20 quotation cards were raised like mushrooms after a rain, and Li Yi also browsed nervously.

"Hey, Xiao Li seems very excited! Yes, the starting price of 33 million will be so enthusiastic. I can only say that Sotheby's is really good, the publicity work is great, and everyone also gives face and support. However, the bidding now is showing that it exists. The real buyer is afraid that it will take action after 60 million."

Li Yi suddenly remembered that the painting was transferred to him at a discount of 6 million US dollars. When he thought about the problem that Wang Jing asked Wang Ruohai to think about just now, a thought suddenly emerged.

Perhaps, all this is not because Sotheby's is powerful or Sotheby's deliberate strategy. They probably did not expect the market to explode suddenly!

Then... should we tell them his judgment? Li Yi decided to turn around and call his master and ask her to handle it.

In just a moment, the price of "The Legend of Lotus Wind" has reached 58 million. Li Yi looked at it for a while and it rose by 25 million in 3 minutes!

Maybe Bob is regretting it now?

In the corner of the front row of the venue, a white young man was holding a phone to Bob to broadcast the live broadcast. Bob on the other end of the phone listened expressionlessly. In a luxurious villa in Mid-Levels of Hong Kong, Li Xiong turned on the speakers of the phone and threw them on the sofa aside. The sound from inside was also a live broadcast of the live quotes. Li Xiong himself was holding a glass of red wine and leaning against the bar thinking about something.

The quotation boom gradually slowed down after breaking through 65 million. Then it took ten minutes to climb up 90 million. Li Yi's face was unstable, and Wang Jing nodded. It seemed that he had once again estimated that this work could not exceed 110 million!

Three minutes later, the price slowly climbed to 100 million. At this time, only two players were left in the field, and one of them bids at the same time, looking like they would retreat at any time.

Li Yi calculated that it was 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which was more than 80 million yuan. After all, it was collected at 6 million US dollars. This price was already a big profit!

At this time, everyone in the venue knew that it had reached the last moment, and many people began to pack up and prepare to retreat. Unexpectedly, the storm suddenly changed, and the quotations were heard everywhere. In just half a minute, three more companies entered the market, and the quotations also rose to 128 million yuan!

I'll go! What's going on? You guys are too calm, right? Is there a promise?

Wang Jing shook his head with a serious expression. The price is already very good, and there is no need to let the entrust enter the market. There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the two companies that were fighting before were the scavengers arranged by one of the later companies or the two companies! Now it is time to see the picture, and the master has jumped out by himself!

However, even if the main family jumped out, there was not much motivation, because the value of a thing was fixed and it would not be overly premium because there were too many people competing for it. Therefore, in the end, this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" did not exceed 150 million, but fell to the upcoming 148 million at dawn! (To be continued.)
