Chapter 1050 Auction
"You..."
Li Qingyao didn't know what to say about Zhang Qingsi, but she knew that Zhang Qingsi's starting point and everything was pure, and she didn't have any strange thoughts.
Zhang Qingsi didn't seem to want to talk about this, so he changed the topic directly, looked at Li Qingyao with a smile, and said half-jokingly: "Qingyao, you are a big sponsor, this time you have to help me to cheer Oh, do you know?"
"I'm not a big sponsor. Compared to some people, I'm nothing..."
Li Qingyao replied with a smile, but her eyes suddenly turned to Du Cheng, and she glanced at Du Cheng with a smile.
As for what she meant, it is natural to understand very well. Although Du Cheng did not tell her her true identity and everything, Li Qingyao can be sure that no matter whether it is power or wealth, Du Cheng will never be so simple. to go.
Compared with Du Cheng, she is really nothing as a big benefactor.
Li Qingyao's gaze was relatively hidden, Zhang Qingsi did not notice any strangeness in her expression, and at this time, the first stage of the banquet was almost underway.
In other words, although Zhang Qingsi did not mean to look down on Du Cheng, but,
"Qingyao, I'll leave first, the auction is about to start, I'll come find you after it's over..."
Zhang Qingsi glanced at the master of ceremonies who was looking for her in the distance, and said to Li Qingyao.
For Zhang Qingsi, the auction was the real purpose of this banquet, and everything else was just floating clouds.
However, just as Zhang Qingsi was walking towards the master of ceremonies, a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly walked in at the gate of the clubhouse.
The middle-aged man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and his figure was slightly fatter, but his body was very straight, and his square face with Chinese characters gave off a very serious feeling.
Seeing the middle-aged man's arrival, Zhang Qingsi's pretty face was obviously a little more joyful, and he walked towards the middle-aged man happily.
The appearance of the middle-aged man quickly attracted the attention of most people present like an aura, and the whole hall became obviously quiet.
"Du Cheng, this person is Yu Xiongfeng, the mayor of our Chang'an City, and also Qingsi's adoptive father."
Li Qingyao obviously recognized the middle-aged man, and when she saw him coming in, she introduced him softly in Du Cheng's ear.
Du Cheng nodded slightly, but did not express any opinion.
After Yu Xiongfeng arrived, he seemed to be the host of this banquet invisibly, and immediately inspired the atmosphere of the whole banquet.
He first came to the stage with Zhang Qingsi, said something good about this auction for Zhang Qingsi, and then called on everyone to participate and make contributions to the disaster area within their ability.
Although these are scene words, after Xiongfeng said them, the reaction was completely different.
The applause from everyone in the banquet never stopped, expressing their enthusiastic support for Yu Xiongfeng's words, and after Zhang Qingsi made the final speech, this auction officially started.
Several staff members simply arranged the dance floor of the banquet center, and then an auctioneer came out from the backstage and turned on the large LCD screen behind him.
Above the screen is a pair of wild cursive, with a bold and powerful style of brushstrokes, unrestrained and unrestrained characters, and continuous strokes, which are done in one go, giving people a sense of joy and dripping.
According to the secretary who explained on the scene, this is the work of Zhang Xu, the master of wild grass in the Tang Dynasty. However, Du Cheng lost interest after just looking at it, because it is just a copy, but the author's own skill It's not bad, but it lacks some resemblance. If you don't look carefully, it's hard to see.
However, the master of ceremonies did not deceive anyone, and directly stated that it was a copy, but the person who copied it was a well-known cursive calligrapher in the contemporary era.
Also because of this, without the precipitation of history and the unique charm, the auction price of this wild grass is naturally not much higher.
The starting price of 100,000 yuan is nothing to many people present, but there are not many people who are interested in this wild grass.
After calling out the starting price of 100,000 a few times, it was fixed at the highest value of 160,000, and no one bid anymore.
So in the end, this copy of the crazy grass was auctioned off at a price of 160,000.
For a copied work, the price of 160,000 is quite generous.
The proceeds from these auctions will be donated directly to the Chang'an branch of the Xinxin Charity Foundation after the auction is over, as charitable donations to the disaster-stricken areas.
This is also the reason why Gao Qiuyue came here this time. Later, she will accept this kind of charitable donation in the name of the head of the Xinxin Charity Foundation branch in Chang'an City.
Du Cheng has no interest in this, but the auction of more than 100,000 yuan is basically a waste of time to him.
Li Qingyao didn't go to shoot anything, because she knew that the first ones were basically just the opening scenes, and the really good auction items were basically in the back.
----------------------------------------------
The auction was going on in a fairly enthusiastic atmosphere. There were a lot of items for this auction, so the duration of the entire auction was relatively long.
It's just that, judging from what has appeared so far, the items in this auction are basically copies. Although the technical content is extremely high, the final auction price will not be very high.
Some of the works that are not copies are basically the works of some contemporary painters, calligraphers, and poets, and the auction prices of these works are also extremely low.
However, this is not difficult to imagine.
Because all the auction items in this auction are donated by others, the value is naturally not much higher. However, if you gather more together, the total value of the final auction can still be worth looking forward to.
From the current point of view, basically none of the more than 20 auction items can exceed 300,000 yuan. However, after adding up the prices of the more than 20 auction items, it is as high as more than 4 million yuan. It's also a small amount.
During this period, Du Cheng and Li Qingyao were basically watching, and had no intention of participating at all.
"Okay, next, let's invite our Mayor Yu to unveil the six most important auction items for us tonight. Everyone applauds..."
The master of ceremonies' voice sounded again, but this time it was no longer introducing the auction items, but inviting people.
Yu Xiongfeng was not too polite, he was already down, but after the master of ceremonies' voice fell, he stood up and walked up to the dance floor.
"The remaining six auction items, each pair is a true masterpiece. First of all, the first pair is the work "Dazhen Tie" by Mi Fu, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty. This pair of "Da Zhen Tie" is Mi Fu The works of the last year were collected by his disciples and were not shown to the world. They were given to me by a deceased comrade-in-arms. For this time, to donate to the disaster area and to show support for this auction, this pair of " All the proceeds from the auction of "Dazhen Post" will be donated to the disaster area free of charge..."
Yu Xiongfeng spoke slowly, his voice was powerful and very thick, exuding a bit of unique majesty invisibly.
After listening to Yu Xiongfeng finished speaking, Du Cheng looked at him with slightly surprised eyes.
This "Da Zhen Tie" may not be known to others, but with Xiner around, how could he, Du Cheng, not know about this handed down work of a calligraphy master.
At first glance, Du Cheng could see the authenticity of this work, but what Du Cheng didn't expect was that Yu Xiongfeng donated such a work worth at least millions of dollars so easily. come out.
It can be seen from this that Yu Xiongfeng's support for the auction is obviously not as simple as what he said in words.
"I didn't expect him to take out all these big truth stickers. I heard Qingsi said that Mayor Yu loves this big truth sticker very much. He has always regarded it as the flesh of his heart, and it is also the most valuable in the mayor's family It’s just that, in order to support Qingsi this time, he actually donated all the big truth posts..."
Li Qingyao also said in disbelief that Yu Xiongfeng had always been a very courageous person, but what Li Qingyao did not expect was that Yu Xiongfeng's courage seemed to have surpassed ordinary people's imagination.
If it were someone else, this kind of work would either be used for speculation, or kept as a family heirloom.
But now, Yu Xiongfeng actually donated it free of charge. With such courage, if you look at the whole of Chang'an, there are probably few people who can do it.
Hearing what Li Qingyao said, Du Cheng smiled.
"Du Cheng, are we going to take a picture of this post?" Li Qingyao couldn't understand the smile on Du Cheng's face, but she asked Du Cheng instead.
From the look on her face, it was obvious that she wanted to take a picture of this thing.
"Let's have a look first, and we'll talk about it later." Du Cheng didn't answer directly, but simply responded.
If it was someone else, Li Qingyao might think that the other party was delaying something, but Du Cheng was different, just listening to what Du Cheng said, Li Qingyao already knew that Du Cheng must have his own plans and ideas.
Therefore, Li Qingyao didn't say anything more, but turned her eyes to that dazheng place again.
At this time, that Yu Xiongfeng also said the auction reserve price of Dazhentie.
This reserve price is very low, only 200,000 yuan, but under such circumstances, this reserve price can basically be described as an auction set.
Just when the auction master said that the auction could start, there were already many people starting to bid.
"500,000"
"Nine hundred thousand."
"one million."
"1.2 million."
The bidding price was rising rapidly, and in less than a minute, the price of this big real sticker, which started at 200,000 yuan, had already been directly raised to more than 1 million yuan, and it was still rising.
In fact, the starting price of 200,000 yuan is very low compared to the true value of Dazhentie itself.
This is also the reason why those people are so eager, because if you shoot this big real post at a low price, it is definitely a profitable business. If you can get it, you can also get acquainted with Yu Xiongfeng. And for the rich, any one of these two is enough to provide them with the greatest motivation.
And the whole auction is still going on.
About five minutes later, the bidding price for this pair of big real stickers had already risen to 3.6 million yuan.
This price is basically the same as the real value of the Dazhen Post, and in this auction, some people also withdrew from the auction due to various reasons.
Therefore, the price increase has also slowed down.
"four million.."
Finally, another person called out a higher price.
The person who made the bid hadn't opened his mouth before. Obviously, he was waiting to bid later. That person is a real estate developer in this city. It is said that his net worth is close to tens of billions. For this kind of person, the price of four million Obviously nothing.
If you can use this to get through the road to Xiongfeng, it will be even more valuable.
"Four and a half million..."
This final auction was obviously a competition for some really rich people, and every time the price was raised, it would no longer be an increase of fifty thousand and one hundred thousand, but one increase would be hundreds of thousands.
"five million..."
The real estate agent once again raised the price up, and it seemed that he was determined to win this sentence.
Looking at this scene, Du Cheng smiled again.
This Yu Xiongfeng is also a smart person. Normally speaking, this big real post can basically be shot for about four million, which is already good, but when he introduced this big real post, he directly stated that This big real post was donated by him.
In this case, it is undoubtedly tantamount to tempting some people who want to follow his path to fight for this painting. No matter whether he accepts it or not, at least this painting in his collection can fully demonstrate its value.
"Du Cheng, I'll bid on it too, how about it?"
At this moment, Li Qingyao spoke up.
She had kept silent before, and that was because ordinary items were not what she wanted to bid for at all, but now the last six auction items, both in terms of price and themselves, were enough to arouse Li Qingyao's interest.
Although the Li family is far worse than before, these millions are still a drop in the bucket to her.
However, Du Cheng shook his head lightly, and then said: "Wait a minute, see if there are any better auction items in the future. As for this, let others compete..."
In this kind of auction, the auction items that come out later are usually Zhao Jia's precious ones, and looking at it now, this big real post seems to be the worst among the next six auction items. Du Cheng had no interest in photographing the special relationship that Dazhen posted.
As for the subsequent auction items, Du Cheng was slightly surprised.
Originally, he thought that the auction this time was just an ordinary small auction, and it would be a head if it could fetch millions or tens of millions, but now it seems that this auction is obviously a little different, at least In terms of scale, it was much higher than Du Cheng expected.
"Oh well."
Hearing what Du Cheng said, Li Qingyao didn't insist on anything, but agreed very briskly.
The auction was in full swing, and there were only three bidders in the end, but these three raised the auction price to more than eight million.
Watching the auction price increase step by step, Zhang Qingsi's pretty face not far away showed a little more excitement.
The purpose of her holding this auction is to raise money for charity. For this reason, Yu Xiongfeng even took out her favorite Dazheng stickers to show her support. Or if the banquet is successfully held, Zhang Qingsi may not even be willing to forgive herself.
But looking at it now, she knew that her auction this time would definitely be very successful.
Perhaps these last six auction items may still be able to create some small miracles.
---------------------------------------------
After nearly 20 minutes, after a round of thinking and expediency, the big real post donated by Yu Xiongfeng was finally auctioned off by the real estate developer at a price of 9.5 million.
In order to express his gratitude, Yu Xiongfeng said that after the auction, he would personally deliver the Dazhen Poster to the real estate agent.
The real estate agent was obviously very happy that he could get this big real post. To him, 9.5 million is nothing, and he himself is not interested in the so-called famous paintings and calligraphy. It is to take this opportunity to see if there is a way to get through the road of Yu Xiongfeng,
Yu Xiongfeng has a high reputation in Chang'an, and he is honest and selfless. According to some gossip, during the few years when Yu Xiongfeng was re-elected as the mayor of Chang'an City, he can almost be described as a breeze in his sleeves.
Therefore, if many people want to get through the road to Xiongfeng, they basically have no hope.
The real estate agent also knew about these rumors, but to him, all he needed was a chance, as for whether Yu Xiongfeng was clear or not, it was nothing to him.
In his opinion, whether a person is clean or not is not because of his own reasons, but because there are not enough bargaining chips to seduce him.
If there are enough chips, the real estate developer believes that he can definitely handle Yu Xiongfeng.
While the real estate agent was thinking about it, the second of the last six auction items in this auction also officially appeared.
