Chapter 481: First Time Seeing Gong Qingli!
The auctioneer finally mentioned the starting price of this incarnation!
"The starting price of this painting is 8 million Hong Kong dollars. Please bid!"
"8.1 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"8.2 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"8.5 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"Nine million!"
"..."
Soon, the auction will enter the fierce bidding stage!
There were almost ninety placards in the hall. Obviously, everyone seemed to be very interested in Xia Chang's painting!
In less than two minutes, the auction price of this pair of Xia Chang's "Ink Bamboo" rose to over HK$10 million!
Ye Xin and Yang Zixin also raised their placards one after another!
With Ye Xin raising the placard for the second time!
The auctioneer who presided over the auction on the stage hurriedly said: "11 million Hong Kong dollars! Is there anything else?"
Obviously, many people in the audience did not expect the auction price of this painting to rise so fast!
At this time, no one raised a placard under the auctioneer's stand, raised the gavel in his hand, and said loudly: "11 million Hong Kong dollars for the first time!"
His voice just fell, as if reminding many people in the audience! Immediately, a foreigner raised a placard!
"11.11 million!" the auctioneer shouted again!
This shout seems to have started another climax of the auction!
Immediately, one after another, people raised their placards again!
Ye Xin and Yang Zixin, who were sitting next to Zhao Feng, both looked at Zhao Feng!
It means asking whether to raise a placard!
Zhao Feng smiled and nodded!
Didn't you see foreign devils starting to raise their placards there?
Seeing this, Ye Xin and Yang Zixin sat together excitedly, discussing taking turns to raise placards with each other!
. . .
Just when Zhao Feng and Shi Qingxuan were chatting!
The auction price has risen to 13 million Hong Kong dollars!
At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly noticed a faint scent coming from the aisle on his right!
Subconsciously turned his eyes and glanced!
I saw a white figure walking slowly over.
After the other party sat down, Zhao Feng glanced from the bottom up, and when he saw the other party's face, a flash of surprise flashed in Zhao Feng's eyes!
Wearing a long white dress on her body gives a charming and charming demeanor!
A little red lips are even brighter as blood!
If it were a scene of an ancient temple deep in the mountains, it would be believed that she was a female ghost!
But Zhao Feng knew her!
The person who just sat down in the aisle beside Zhao Feng was Gong Qingli, the current chairman of the Tsingtao Biological Research Foundation!
. . .
Gong Qingli of course knew that he was facing Zhao Feng, and he was also the controller of the Yutu Biological Research Foundation!
Her brows were slightly curved, and a smile appeared on her cold face!
I saw her nodding slightly at Zhao Feng!
Zhao Feng has not yet realized why Gong Qingli appeared here!
She was pulled aside by Shi Qingxuan,
Then I saw Shi Qingxuan passing Zhao Feng, smiling and waving to Gong Qingli!
Gong Qingli noticed Shi Qingxuan next to Zhao Feng!
The two of them are good friends and sisters!
It's just that the two of them, apart from Gong Qingli coming back occasionally to stay together, Shi Qingxuan and Gong Qingli haven't seen each other for a long time!
Therefore, it is understandable that Shi Qingxuan is so happy!
. . .
It's not very convenient for Shi Qingxuan and Gong Qingli to chat across an aisle!
So, let's finish this auction first!
Gong Qingli, who had just sat firmly, raised her placard when everyone looked at the stage, and a female secretary beside her said loudly, "16 million Hong Kong dollars!"
In the moment just now, the bidding price just increased to 14.3 million Hong Kong dollars!
The structure, Gong Qingli directly increased by nearly two million Hong Kong dollars this time!
Immediately, the entire auction hall went quiet!
You must know that the estimate given by Sotheby's auction house is only between 0,000 Hong Kong dollars!
Gong Qingli's auction price has exceeded this price by one million!
Therefore, some people looked at Gong Qingli like a fool!
More people feel very pity!
They may have more wealth, but they are reluctant to bid the painting back for more than the estimated price!
In the second position from the left in the first row, an old man in Tang suit who looks in his 60s or 70s is unwilling to let this masterpiece of Xia Chang go!
So, he raised his cards again!
"16.5 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Putting down the sign, the old gentleman felt the strange eyes from both sides, and he was quite content!
At this time, an old gentleman of the same grade next to him also said, "Old Guo, why are you bidding? It's not worth it!"
The people around and these two acquaintances echoed!
The old gentleman was even more complacent, he said with a smile: "The reason why Xia Chang's paintings are estimated so high, everyone knows the reason, the bamboo in this painting shows the character of Xia Chang himself. It is a masterpiece, and it will never depreciate in the future! As for whether it will be profitable, I cannot guarantee it!”
The reason why he said this is because the people around him didn't bid any more, except for the initial bidding, so he knew that these people around him didn't have strong intentions for this painting!
Surrounded by some old people who often participate in auctions!
There are also people who are eager to move in their hearts, but after taking a look at the old friend who was talking just now, after thinking about it, they also feel that it is not worth the friendship that has been broken for many years because of such a painting!
So no one bids aloud!
The auctioneer presiding over the auction on the stage had already shouted: "16.5 million Hong Kong dollars for the second time!"
At this time, Gong Qingli next to Zhao Feng directly raised the placard again neatly: "17 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Her voice was very scary in the ears of the old gentleman in the front row!
The price of 16 million Hong Kong dollars was originally in his heart, but because he was very optimistic about the prospect of this painting, and other people liked it very much, he added 500,000! At the current price of 17 million, if he bids again, I am afraid that some of the gains will outweigh the losses!
So, after hesitating for a while, he gave up the auction with a gloomy expression!
But he was unwilling to look back at who was bidding just now!
When he saw Gong Qingli, he immediately felt that he had not lost this time!
Gong Qingli has not been active in the Hong Kong business community for a long time, but many people in the Hong Kong business community will not easily offend her!
Because the pharmaceutical group controlled by Gong Qingli has several of the best hospitals in Xiangjiang!
In this life, who hasn't been born, old, sick and died, if there is an emergency, but can't seek medical treatment, isn't it not seeking death by himself!
What's more, Gong Qingli is like a dragon in Xiangjiang, but the vice president she entrusts is also quite powerful!
What's more, Gong Qingli seems to have some unidentified forces.
In fact, this is their misunderstanding. Maybe it's just that the two companies, Taotie and Qiongqi, are helping!
. . .
The auctioneer who presided over the auction finally dropped the hammer: "The third time for 17 million Hong Kong dollars, the deal!"
