Chapter 23: Blooming, the Rose of the Golden Age
The new version of "Eagle Perched on a Tree" was eventually bought by a wealthy businessman from the provincial capital for eight million yuan.
Lu Yun called him an expert in his heart.
It turns out that the things I casually drew are really so valuable. I wonder how much the old Taoist master made from them.
Lu Yun finally believed that he was the one in a million genius in calligraphy and painting.
Just when everyone thought the auction was over and was about to leave, the host said, "Don't worry, everyone. Today, our auction house has prepared a surprise for you."
surprise?
Is there anything more surprising than the new version of "Eagle Perched on a Tree"?
Everyone immediately became very interested.
The sexy girl on the stage walked off the stage twisting her hips, and when she came back on stage, she was replaced by a middle-aged man.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Because this middle-aged man was none other than Sun Tianlei, the big boss of Dongzheng Auction House.
At this moment, he personally walked onto the stage carrying an auction item.
Now everyone's interest was even stronger, and they wanted to see what it was. It was even more precious than the "Eagle Perched on a Tree".
The host smiled and said, "In fact, this is also a new work by Master Yunlu, and it is an unprecedented and shocking work."
Wow!
The whole house cheered.
It turns out that Mr. Yunlu painted more than one work.
Those photographers who were upset about not being able to grab the "Eagle Perched on a Tree" have rekindled their hope.
"Everyone, watch out."
This time it was Sun Tianlei who spoke. He did not keep the audience in suspense, but directly lifted the red cloth to reveal this new work.
Suddenly.
boom!
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone's heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a huge hammer.
I saw.
On the rice paper, there was a rose, a pink, peerless rose that was about to bloom.
However, this is not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that the rose will produce strange visual changes if you stare at it for only ten seconds.
The rose that was originally in bud seemed to come to life in an instant and bloomed charmingly!
What a strong visual impact!
Everyone's soul seemed to tremble at this moment.
There are many visual masters in this world, and their works can often bring people unexpected visual effects.
One of the most famous paintings is that when you look at it forward, it is an old woman, but when you look at it backward, it turns into a young girl.
These are world-class works that require extremely high painting skills to create.
However, this work by Master Yunlu is even more advanced, as it can actually turn a static painting into something alive.
In just ten seconds, one can experience the entire process of a beautiful rose flower, from bud to bloom.
This is simply a masterpiece!
It is conceivable that a hundred years after Master Yunlu's death, the value of this painting will definitely be estimated in billions.
Shocked!
Unprecedented shock!
Sun Tianlei introduced: "The name of this painting is "Rose in the Prosperous Era"."
He just finished speaking.
Immediately, the wealthy businessman who had won the "Eagle Perched on a Tree" stood up and said, "No need to bid. I'll pay 20 million for this work."
Twenty million!
Everyone was shocked. Rich people are so generous that they didn't even ask the starting price and directly took out 20 million to invest.
Another wealthy businessman stood up and said, "I'll pay 30 million."
thirty million!
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot.
They would call this behavior crazy, that they directly increase the price based on tens of millions.
There were actually many billionaires at the scene. They did not bid in the previous session because although the painting "Eagle Perched on a Tree" was a new work, there was already an original version, so the maximum price was only eight million.
In fact, the collectible value of the new version is not as great as that of the old version, just like the misprinted monkey stamp is more valuable than the normal printed version.
but.
This painting "Rose in the Prosperous Age" is different. It is a masterpiece that shocked the world, and 20 million is just its reserve price.
Rich businessmen rushed in and in the blink of an eye, the price reached 80 million, and it was still increasing, with signs of breaking 100 million.
The ordinary calligraphy and painting enthusiasts at the scene could only stare in astonishment and could not say a word.
At this time, Sun Tianlei suddenly pressed his palm and said, "This painting is just for display to everyone. It is not an item for auction today."
"Boss Sun, we are all regular customers of Dongzheng Auction House. It's really not fair of you to do this!"
Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction.
How could they not understand the auction house's routine? They would definitely display the works first to whet everyone's appetite, and then wait for the news to spread. It wouldn't be long before famous collectors from all over the country would rush here.
By then, the painting will be auctioned for a sky-high price.
Sun Tianlei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is not what our auction house meant, but what Master Yunlu meant."
He also wanted to sell this work so that they could make a lot of money just from the commission.
However, when Prince Nanjiang handed the painting to him, he said that this work was only given away and not sold, and it was said that this was the intention of Master Yunlu himself, and Prince Nanjiang was just conveying it on his behalf.
Hearing him say this, everyone bowed their heads in regret.
Suddenly, Sun Tianlei looked at Liu Yan'er and said with a smile: "Miss Liu, please come to the stage."
"me?"
Liu Yan'er was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Sun Tianlei suddenly called her.
Lu Yun nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Yan'er, he is calling you, hurry up!"
After confirming Sun Tianlei's gaze again, Liu Yan'er finally walked onto the stage, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.
The people below were also confused.
At this time, Sun Tianlei said respectfully: "Miss Liu, King Nanjiang has instructed that this painting "Rose in the Prosperous Age" was painted by Master Yunlu specifically for you. Please accept it."
As he said this, he presented the painting to Liu Yan'er.
