"510,000!"
"Mr. 22 bid 600,000!"
"Ms. 34 bid 700,000!"
"Is there any...well, Mr. 29 bid 750,000!"
...
With the rising prices and Cai Keming's very contagious words midway, more and more people participated in the bidding, and the atmosphere of the venue began to become hot.
"Mr. 22 bid 2.88 million, is there any higher?"
"The first time for 2.88 million!"
"The second time with 2.88 million!"
"The third time for 2.88 million! A deal!"
"Duang!"
"Congratulations to Mr. 34 for photographing this exquisite collection!"
With Cai Keming hitting the hammer, the final auction price of the first auction item was fixed at 2.88 million Hong Kong dollars.
This price is 880,000 higher than the estimated 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and 2.38 million higher than the minimum starting price of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. The door is open, so Cai Keming is in a good mood and has a brighter smile on his face.
"Next, let's get the second one..."
...
The low price of the second lot suddenly dropped from 500,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the transaction price was fixed at 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
With the passage of time, the subsequent auction prices have almost risen all the way, none of them went unsold, and almost every one was sold at a high price. Chen Deliang saw this situation with a happy smile on his face.
Finally, Miss Etiquette presented a lot again, which was Chen Hongshou's "Lotus and Mandarin Duck".
"This picture of "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" was donated by Mr. Mei Shancheng..."
When Cai Keming introduced, Xia Yu also sat up straight and planned to join the auction. This painting is one of his favorite collections, and he has plans to acquire it.
But whether it can be taken, it depends on the auction situation.
It doesn't matter if you can't take it. Anyway, he has reserved a few other favorite collections, some of which have no lower potential value than "Lotus and Mandarin Duck".
And this is a charity shoot after all. You have to give others a chance to do charity, and everyone knows it is a good thing. If you shoot one or two, you will stop.
Otherwise, there are so many rich people present, and many people are fully capable of sweeping all the goods into their pockets, but this will inevitably leave everyone with an unsightly impression, and it is not worth it.
Because he understands this kind of truth, Xia Yu has already thought about it. He can only shoot two or three pieces at most. Even if other collections have great collection value, he will not take them. He will participate in Sotheby's auction house when necessary. During the spring or autumn auctions, no one would gossip about scans at that time.
"it has started!"
Xia Yu thought to himself.
Then, as Cai Keming announced the start, someone immediately rushed to bid 180,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then others followed to increase the price.
Xia Yu was not in a hurry to increase the price. He knew that there was still a long way to go before the final transaction price. Some of the eager bids were just by chance.
Seeing that Xia Yu didn't move, He Chaoqiong, who was sitting next to him, touched Xia Yu's arm with his finger, and his head was slightly close to Xia Yu's ear, and he whispered: "Xia Yu, don't you like this painting? Why not? Do not be robbed by others."
As He Chaoqiong was a little closer, she exhaled like blue, and a gust of heat blew Xia Yu’s ears, causing Xia Yu’s heartbeat to accelerate slightly, turning her head slightly, and seeing He Chaoqiong’s innocent and curious eyes, she obviously didn’t know she had accidentally The action is a bit ambiguous.
It seems that my heart is not pure!
Xia Yu thought secretly, then his face remained unchanged, and he smiled and explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, there is still some distance from the final transaction price. Wait for a while when there are fewer people before bidding."
"Oh!" He Chaoqiong showed a daze, then pressed his red lips lightly, and looked at the bidders to see who they were.
As time passed, some people gradually withdrew from the auction, and only a few people continued to bid. Xia Yu couldn't help but look over.
Only by this look, he was stunned.
Because he knew the person next to one of the photographers, it was Lin Ruofu who had a relationship more than a month ago.
After that glimpse, Xia Yu went to the same place several times specially, but did not see her. Xia Yu still had some regrets at that time.
It's just that after no goodbye for more than a month, and so many things happened in the middle, the company has things to be busy, causing Xia Yu's initial impulse to be slowly consumed, leaving only a trace in his heart.
Xia Yu didn't think about Lin Ruofu anymore, it was a stunning moment in his life, and after the shining, he returned to peace.
It's just that he didn't expect that he had been looking for but never found the person he had given up a long time ago and unexpectedly met him again.
It's a pity that this goodbye doesn't seem to be friendly to Xia Yu.
At this time, Lin Ruofu was wearing a white dress, still as pure and moving as when he first met.
But the key is that her clear and bright eyes are looking forwardly at the "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" on the auction stage, and then blinking at the handsome man in his 20s.
The man beside her touched her head affectionately, then raised the sign again to increase the price.
The close relationship between Lin Ruofu and the man, Xia Yu, could be seen at a glance, and Xia Yu also saw the love revealed in the man's eyes, and the joy from the heart in Lin Ruofu's smile.
"The two of them should be lovers! Although that man is not as good as me, he is considered a talent." Xia Yu thought to himself, feeling a little bit lost in his heart.
"Alright, it was just the heartbeat of the moment. I guess she has forgotten me as a passerby. We can't even meet each other by the water, so it's good to end here."
"Since this painting is a lotus, it matches her temperament. She wants it, so I don’t have to fight for it. Gentlemen don’t win the favor. Anyway, I just bought it for investment and collection, which has potential for appreciation. There are even higher ones."
Thinking of this, for some reason, Xia Yu seemed to have a small knot in his heart opened. He shook his head slightly and leaned on the back of the stool to relax.
What Xia Yu didn't notice was that when he looked at Lin Ruofu in a daze, his expression had long been seen by He Chaoqiong who was paying attention to him.
He Chaoqiong followed Xia Yu's gaze and saw Lin Ruofu wearing a white dress. An inexplicable sense of crisis instantly rose in her heart.
But then she happened to see Lin Ruofu's intimate actions with the man next to her, and she saw the look on Xia Yu's face that she didn't know if it was a loss or something. She felt a little bit of joy while feeling a bit sour.
But He Chaoqiong didn't show it. Instead, he took a deep look at Lin Ruofu, and then at the "Lotus and Mandarin Duck" on the auction stage. Shui Lingling's big eyes rolled around a few times, wondering if he was thinking. what.
