Chapter 508: The Authentic Relic of King Chen!
The charity dinner has begun.
The format is similar to the previous charity dinner.
The host was on the stage and took out the auction items prepared by each continent.
Wealthy people from all over the world take photos of the things they like in the name of charity——
Honestly speaking.
Most of the items presented at the charity dinner are not particularly valuable.
If it weren't for the name of charity, these rich people really wouldn't be able to arouse much interest.
Because these rich people are well-informed, and if they really have that hobby, they will definitely have treasures in their home collections. How could they fall in love with the auction items at this kind of charity dinner?
But there are exceptions to everything.
After so many charity dinners, occasionally there will be some auction items that really make the rich can't help but be tempted, and even compete for them!
For example, a few years ago.
For example, last year, Lin Zhibai's "Lanting Preface" created on the spot caused a rush!
Audiences from all continents still remember this so much that after the live broadcast of this year’s charity dinner started, the barrage kept saying:
“This year’s auctions are very average.”
"Last year, "Lanting Preface" made 600 million, which is really unbeatable. The key calligraphy was written by Bai Di on the spot!"
“Six hundred million, the highest auction price ever recorded for a charity dinner!”
“Not only is it unprecedented, but it also feels unprecedented. The price is too exaggerated!”
“Lin Zhibai is also here this year. Do you think he will come up with another calligraphy work?”
“If Lin Zhibai comes up with another calligraphy work, maybe the auction price can exceed that of "Lanting Preface"?
“That’s really hard to say.”
“It’s not the richest man’s turn yet, so I don’t know what lot he got this year.”
"expect!"
The most enthusiastic discussion was among the audiences from Qin, Qi, Chu, Zhao and Zhongzhou, because these continents were so familiar with Lin Zhibai!
And in Yanzhou, Hanzhou and Weizhou.
There is also a lot of discussion about Lin Zhibai.
After all, Lin Zhibai was the most popular person at last year's charity dinner.
Lin Zhibai is here again this year, not to mention that he became the cover star of Longyin magazine some time ago.
As for the lots presented by the host from various continents, as everyone discussed, or in other words, the same as in previous years, most of them are relatively unremarkable.
Everyone was only looking forward to what Lin Zhibai would come up with.
The camera also knows the focus of audiences from all continents. In addition to arranging various shots for those world-class rich people, it also did not forget to aim in the direction of Lin Zhibai, letting everyone take a look at that familiar, handsome face.
“Still so handsome!”
"Ha ha."
“You can now take screenshots as screensavers!”
“Handsome guy with no blind spots at 365 degrees!”
“My boyfriend is as cool as him in looks!”
The director will obviously find that when it cuts to Lin Zhibai, the reactions from various continents will be more intense. He is more likely to be camera-conscious than those rich people.
While everyone was discussing Lin Zhibai in various ways.
The host at the scene suddenly said: "The next auction is really amazing. It was provided by Mr. Zhao Leiyin, the chairman of our Zhongzhou Marriott Group. It is the ink work "The World of Flowers and Birds" by the great writer Chen Wang eight hundred years ago. We have invited Experts have specially identified it, and there is no doubt that this is the authentic work of King Chen!"
Boom!
The scene was instantly sensational!
The rich people are all moved!
No one thought that someone would be willing to take out King Chen’s original work for charity!
However, everyone can barely understand it when they think that the person who took out this painting is Zhao Leiyin, the chairman of Zhongzhou Marriott.
Although Zhao Leiyin is not on the Blue Star Rich List, he is low-key enough that the real rich circle does not know how much his net worth is, but what is certain is that this person's real net worth can definitely be ranked in the top three of Blue Star Bit!
This kind of person is not short of money!
Only this kind of person would be willing to take out all the authentic works of King Chen as auction items for the sake of charity!
do not forget…
At this kind of charity dinner, no matter how much money the painting sells, Zhao Leiyin will not receive a penny!
The final auction price will be donated by the official in the name of charity, and Zhao Leiyin can only gain a good reputation as a philanthropist.
“I want it!”
“Don’t fight with me!”
“You all know that I am a die-hard fan of King Chen!”
“I have always collected Chen Wang’s calligraphy and paintings at home. Whenever his works come onto the market, I will buy them!”
“You already have so many, so don’t grab them this time.”
The rich people are tempted. There are not many authentic works of King Chen circulating in the market.
Most collectors, after obtaining the authentic works of Chen Wang, will keep them in their private collections and will never sell them easily.
Zhao Leiyin is the only one who has gone all out to do charity at such a high price today.
As for the price…
The price of an authentic work by King Chen must start with "100 million" as the starting unit.
However, this is not unacceptable to the top richest people in all continents. If you can't accept this, don't even think about getting hold of the authentic works of King Chen!
When the rich are ready to make a move.
Audiences from all continents were also shocked by this auction!
“I wipe it!”
“The true work of King Chen!”
“I remember five years ago, a piece of calligraphy by King Chen sold for more than RMB 500 million!”
“The price of this painting shouldn’t be low, right?”
“Dad Zhao is so awesome, he actually put this thing up for auction, he is a real philanthropist!”
“Zhao Leiyin from Marriott Group, a true conscientious entrepreneur!”
“I hope that the auction items at the charity dinner can be more sincere in the future. If you can’t do it to the level of Zhao Leiyin, don’t be petty!”
“What’s the starting price?”
“I estimate the starting price must be over 100 million!”
It was pretty much what the audience expected. Amidst everyone’s shock and whispers, the host said:
“The original work of King Chen, The World of Flowers and Birds, has a starting price of 100 million. If bosses from all over the world like it, start bidding!”
Hurrah!
The rich are out in force!
One of the rich people raised a sign: "I will offer 200 million!"
This rich man is very handsome, but there is actually nothing he can do about it.
Because everyone knows very well that Chen Wang’s works will definitely far exceed the starting price, so it is better to double the price as soon as it comes up.
Sure enough.
Even if it is doubled, it is useless, and it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of these rich people.
“I will pay 250 million!”
“Three hundred million!”
“Three point five!”
“Three point six!”
“Those who grind and chirp, I have four hundred million, you can do whatever you want.”
“Haha, four o’clock one!”
“Four point five!”
People calling out prices come and go.
The highest price has been reached at 450 million.
To be honest, although Chen Wang’s works are precious, the price of 450 million is almost the end.
therefore.
The scene was slightly quiet for a while.
Just when everyone thought there would be no more bids, Lin Zhibai suddenly raised his sign.
“Five hundred million!”
Seeing the sign held up by Lin Zhibai, the host couldn't help but raise his voice:
"Our Lin Zhibai, Mr. Bai Di wants to pay 500 million to buy this "World of Flowers and Birds" by King Chen. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price!?"
The rich people were stunned. Some people couldn't help but look in the direction of the Qinzhou wealthy representatives.
Lin Zhaomu is sitting in the front row.
“Director Lin.”
“You, such a good grandson, are so rich.”
“Five hundred million will come out as soon as you say it.”
Hearing the ridicule from everyone, Lin Zhaomu smiled and said: "My money is his money, but his money is not my money."
The implication is:
Lin Zhibai himself had enough financial resources to purchase this painting.
As for why Lin Zhibai bought the painting of King Chen, Lin Zhaomu can probably guess the reason.
Perhaps it was for his father Lin Dong.
Lin Dong likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings. His favorite among ancient literati is King Chen.
This is normal. Lan Xing randomly found ten people and estimated that there would be at least five of them. His favorite ancient scholar was King Chen.
But the authentic work of King Chen can easily cost hundreds of millions.
Although Lin Dong has some assets, he obviously cannot spend hundreds of millions in cash to buy this...
This child is quite filial.
It’s just those audiences from all over the world who didn’t know the inside story, but they were extremely shocked. They didn’t expect Lin Zhibai to take action!
“Bai Di is so rich!?”
“Ah, what kind of connection is this? Everyone says that Bai Di is the contemporary King Chen, but now Bai Di is actually willing to spend 500 million to buy the authentic work of King Chen!”
“Is this a tribute to King Chen?”
“Haha, don’t forget that “Lanting Preface” is 600 million!”
“In other words, the price of Bai Di’s own works is no cheaper than that of King Chen!”
"etc!"
“There are still bids!”
500 million is already very high, but there are still people bidding, and the price offered is 530 million.
This is a rich man from Zhaozhou.
Lin Zhibai did indeed want to buy this authentic painting of King Chen as a gift to his father, as the old man expected.
As for the price being several hundred million, Lin Zhibai didn't care.
Someone offered 530 million, but he didn’t blink and directly raised the price to 600 million!
The Zhao Zhou rich man immediately gave up. He knew that Lin Zhibai was telling everyone in this way that he was bound to win!
In fact.
600 million, which is far beyond the market price of this authentic painting of King Chen.
Because this authentic work of King Chen is not famous among the works of King Chen, and it is not even recorded in depth.
therefore.
After wealthy Zhaozhou gave up, other wealthy individuals who were still interested also gave up and continued raising placards.
“Six hundred million once!”
“Six hundred million times!”
“Six hundred million three times!”
The host tapped the gavel: "Dealed! Congratulations to Director Lin for buying Chen Wang's authentic painting "The World of Flowers and Birds" for a price of 600 million. This money will become our official charity fund to help those in need. , so we would like to thank the provider of the work, Zhao Leiyin, Chairman of Zhongzhou Marriott Group, and Director Zhao!"
Pap, pah, pah.
The scene was filled with applause!
The live barrage is also particularly lively:
“Trench!”
“The richest man is so rich!”
“Haha, we in Qizhou are right when we call him the richest man!”
“Suddenly it felt very dramatic. During the civil war between Qi and Chu, we were still arguing about whether Emperor Bai could rival King Chen.”
“As a result, Bai Di took a picture of Chen Wang’s work today, which cost 600 million!”
"Interestingly, Bai Di's "Lanting Preface" last year also sold 600 million. Does this mean that he is fully qualified to rival King Chen?"
“We can compete with each other a long time ago!”
"It seems that the biggest event this year is "The World of Flowers and Birds". As the organizer, Zhongzhou has not lost face and won the first place this year."
This is how everyone discussed.
Just like that, a few more lots passed.
The audience still has not calmed down from the discussion about the authentic works of King Chen.
until…
The host suddenly smiled and said: "The next auction is interesting. You must have not forgotten Bai Di's "Lanting Preface" last year, right?"
The rich people’s eyes lit up!
The audience was also shocked!
What does the host mean by this?
Did Lin Zhibai prepare another calligraphy work this year?
With everyone's attention, the host continued: "After last year's handwritten calligraphy piece, this year's Teacher Baidi provided us with a painting as an auction item. We also invited experts for this painting at the charity auction. I saw it and gave a guidance estimate. This price will be the highest starting price tonight and even since the previous charity dinners!"
The highest starting price ever! ?
The starting price of Chen Wang's "World of Flowers and Birds" is only 100 million!
The starting price of Bai Di's paintings is actually higher than the original works of Chen Wang! ?
Some people’s expressions are already wrong.
However, there are some people who can’t help but show strong expectations on their faces!
Especially the audience who watched the match between Qi Chuwen and Lin Zhibai's painting that won the championship, their breathing became slightly faster!
“I believe everyone must be curious, what kind of work dares to be priced at such a high price?”
The host smiled and said: "I won't be too pretentious. Please look at our big screen..."
唰!
The screen lights up.
In an instant, a picture scroll unfolded!
It was a splash-ink landscape painting, with the perfect combination of shades and shades. Every frame seemed to carry an unprecedented impact, bombarding the visual nerves of the wealthy people at the scene, and beating the heartstrings of billions of viewers on all continents of Blue Star!
beautiful!
Extreme beauty!
It’s dazzling!
It’s as if this painting can draw people into the world of thick ink!
People even feel a magical and spiritual comfort in the picture!
Zhongzhou Marriott Chairman Zhao Leiyin opened his mouth slightly. He came with his wife today.
The moment she saw this painting, Zhao Leiyin's wife, who had always been indifferent to calligraphy and painting, suddenly couldn't help but said with a trembling voice:
"Leiyin...I...like this painting so much..."
Zhao Leiyin said softly: "Then we will take this painting home tonight."
Zhao Leiyin can naturally feel the change in the eyes of the rich people around him, but so what?
Just like when it comes to artistic talent, no one is Bai Di’s opponent.
Among the rich men from all continents in Blue Star, in terms of financial resources, Zhao Leiyin is invincible!
on site.
Start making noise!
The barrages started going crazy!
"Oh My God!"
“This painting, help me, why is it so impactful!”
“It feels really good!”
“This is the most charming painting I have ever seen in my life!”
“Its beauty is so domineering and has a unique temperament, like the ultimate in art!”
"Obviously I don't understand art, let alone painting, but Bai Di's paintings always have a different flavor..."
“Qi Chu Wen Dou Painting Competition, Bai Di’s painting has shocked me for a long time!”
“Compared to this one, there is still a big gap between that one!”
In everyone’s madness.
The host said: "I believe everyone understands why the starting price of this painting is so high, because this is Bai Di's highest artistic achievement..."
paused.
The host smiled and said: "Baidi's latest painting "Travel to Langshan" has a starting price of 300 million!"
