"Seven five thousand."

Andre was slightly surprised. Dave Clark called out such a price. On the one hand, he was slightly pleased because his artistic taste was recognized, and he was able to help charity. Naturally, it couldn’t be better; on the other hand, But because of his rejection and dislike of Dave, I felt a little unhappy. I always felt that my artwork had arrived in Dave's hands, as if the cabbage had been arched by a pig.

But... this is the auction, and it is for charity, what else can he do?

"Eighty thousand." Then, Lan Li's voice came in his ear.

Andre raised his eyebrows lightly, cast his gaze at Lan Li, and said with his eyes, "Is it going to start now?" Are they deliberately driving up the price and letting Dave Clark be fooled?

Lan Li showed a meaningful smile at Andre, noncommittal, and the mysterious expression made Andre couldn't figure it out.

After the blue gift bid, several other competitors appeared on the scene, one after another raised the price to 88,000 pounds, so the price has far exceeded the market price estimate. The collection value of Philip Gaston's works has not yet reached that high, and Andre's position in the aristocratic circle is not as good as Alexander. The current price is more or less unexpected, which has far exceeded expectations.

But Howard, who was in charge of the auction, did not want the price to stay here. He cast his sights on Lan Li, "Ninety thousand, is anyone willing to bid?"

In fact, he was asking about Lan Li’s opinion, and as a result, Lan Li smiled and raised the sign, "Ninety-five thousand."

Howard's eyes gathered together, he was very satisfied with the price, and shouted unanimously, "A bid of 95,000 on the 14th, is there anyone else to bid?"

Dave, who was not far away, looked at Lan Li with out of sight, and then raised his sign again, "One hundred thousand."

There was no breathing room, and before Howard could even speak, Lan Li raised his placard, "150,000."

Hey!

Many sights at the auction site have been projected: it is not because of the price itself, but because of the simplicity of Lanli. Previously, it was slowly rising at five thousand and one thousand, and finally climbed to one hundred thousand, but now it is rising with effort. Fifty percent, this spanning arc is really an exaggeration. Does Lan Li really like this painting so much? still is……

His eyes fell sparsely on Dave.

Although Dave still showed a decent and generous smile, the slightly stiff curve of the jaw still leaked his gloom-Lan Li's move was fast enough to cut the mess with a sharp knife and hate it, and he just cut everything unreasonably. Maybe, 150,000 pounds, he is not unable to afford it, but unnecessary. After all, the competition for charity auctions is not those precious works of art that will last forever. He does not need to be so careless.

Dave could only secretly curse and say "idiot" in the bottom of his heart, contempt for Lan Li's squandering so recklessly in order to do a face-saving project, he was just like a dude, just "unbearable".

Don't talk about Dave, Andre was also a little surprised and couldn't help but approached Lan Li, "Even if it is to bury Dave, there is no need to spend so much, right?"

"When you lie, pay attention to the smile in your eyes." Lan Li vomited with a full smile. Andre laughed twice, but didn't refute it.

A lot of eyes around were also projected towards Lanli, envy, contempt, disdain, congratulations... From the perspective of the charity auction, this is a good thing, and more money has been raised; but from From the perspective of art, whether the premium is serious or not is a matter of opinion.

Contributing to charity is heart-warming. For aristocrats, fame cannot be measured by numbers. This 150,000 pounds is also the debut of Lanly's strong return to London, and the subsequent value generated far exceeds The energy and meaning presented by the digital surface: But for Dave Clark and David Beckham, it is inevitable that good things need to be more weighed, and they cannot understand Lanli.

As a result, many people began to complain, "Lan Li's artistic taste is nothing more than that."

But few people expected that after five years, Philip Gaston's reputation in the industry would increase and the collection value of his works would increase. Then this "window" appeared again at Sotheby's in New York at the end of autumn. At the auction, the estimated price before the auction was 600,000 U.S. dollars, but it was finally sold for 4 million U.S. dollars, which became one of the most eye-catching focuses of the night, sparking countless discussions.

From 150,000 pounds to 4 million US dollars, it is self-evident what the artistic taste of Lan Li is.

The focus is back on the auction.

Lan Li’s generosity undoubtedly made a good start for the second stage of the charity auction. Alexander also gave his applause to Lan Li, and his smile was inevitably a little helpless-he was originally planning to let others contribute. Fan is powerful, but now how come Lan Li is in an active atmosphere?

Thanks to the decisive action of Lanli, the subsequent auctions were also very enthusiastic, and the transaction amount exceeded expectations:

Two items were auctioned at a high price of 80,000 pounds, three items were sold for between 40,000 and 60,000 pounds, and two other items were also sold at a price of more than 20,000 pounds... Active bidding In addition to the high transaction price, this undoubtedly brought the auction’s specifications into a new stage, and the whole atmosphere has become different. The elites present, fearing to be left behind, have begun to show their generosity.

"The next auction item is the last and most important item in the second stage of today's auction. The buyer's identity is temporarily kept confidential. When the transaction is confirmed, we will announce this special guest and also There are surprises. But I believe that this auction item alone deserves the attention of every guest."

Rarely, there was a slight commotion in the whole venue——

You must know that everyone present is a distinguished elite, not an ordinary citizen who has never seen the world. In such a public occasion, they all know how to suppress their gossip psychology and show sufficient politeness and demeanor to avoid embarrassment. Seeing now, but at the moment it is completely impossible to suppress.

In this auction, the most eye-catching and most collectible item is the next one. Through the auction manual, they have already understood something, and even many guests made a special trip for this competition. Those who attended the event had an extraordinary degree of attention.

"...'Qing Dynasty Qianlong imperial enamel painting rectangular snuff bottle of a lady", this work was made by the imperial office of the imperial court during the Qianlong period. There are two surviving examples of the same, which are hidden in the Bei/Beijing Palace Museum and Taipei. The Palace Museum. The two sides of the snuff bottle are painted with Western pictures in carmine. The brushwork draws on Western sketching methods. The influence of Western paintings can also be seen in the composition, light and shade. It is a rare masterpiece that blends Eastern and Western artistic styles. "

Howard's introduction made the eyes of all the guests on the scene gathered firmly on the slide screen on the projection wall.

Andre looked at Lan Li with a sad face, "Why did you take this out?"

Although anonymous, Andre recognized the owner of the snuff bottle at a glance: Lanly Hall. This is an antique bought during Lanly's high school. Andre particularly likes it. He tried to ask Lanly several times, but failed to return. Unexpectedly, Lan Li donated to the charity auction.

This is a work that is not inferior to the art auction market, but it is a bit too expensive for a charity auction——

Sotheby's auction house conducted verification and appraisal, and the final valuation was 300,000 pounds!

But Lan Li sincerely hoped that he could make some contributions to charity, instead of just using this occasion to announce his return, so Lan Li asked Alexander for his opinion and finally chose to donate it, which became the whole charity. One of the core publicity focuses of the auction.

The most important thing is that the guests present are either aristocrats or wealthy. For them, 300,000 pounds is not a figure that exceeds expectations. Using snuff bottles as a competitive product will also improve the specifications and grades of the entire auction. Several steps, this is undoubtedly a win-win choice.

Compared to Andre’s grief, Lan Li is very open-minded, “If you haven’t photographed it, there are still several collections in my house. You can choose one at will.”

"Really?" Andre couldn't help but jumped for joy-Lan Li’s art collection is not many but refined, and it is not market value-oriented. It is more of Lan Li’s personal taste and aesthetics. But it is precisely this fact that Andre prefers it, because Lanly’s artistic taste can always make people’s eyes shine. Compared with the mainstream market and the collection value, Andre is still more inclined to Lanly’s choice. .

In addition to the "window", the "Observed, Captain" piece that Lanly auctioned at the opening auction, the market valuation also soared to around £200,000.

Simply put, Lan Li is not a follower, but an advocate. Andre has been coveting Renly's collection for a long time.

Not to mention that Andre was overjoyed ~ www.novelhall.com~ Just before he spoke, Howard officially announced the start of the auction.

"Fifty thousand pounds is the base price, with an increase of one thousand pounds each time."

In an instant, the audience raised an arm in a frantic manner, and the price soared frantically to 90,000 pounds, but there was still no sign of stopping. Within 30 seconds, it broke through 100,000 pounds in one effort. After the land surpassed the previous highest transaction price of fifteen pounds, this slowed down slightly.

But it's just a little bit.

Competitors in the early stage have put down their brands. The real competitors are still competing, while the top competitors are watching the changes and waiting for opportunities. The price broke through 200,000 pounds smoothly back and forth, and the rate of increase did not stop. One after another, the price was overwhelming.

"Two hundred thirty thousand." Eaton also raised his brand and joined the competition. Andre couldn't help but stared at Eaton with a depressed face: Are you ready to compete with me?
