Chapter 98: Sotheby's Spring Sale

You know, unless there is a legendary super civilization in the entire universe, the matter of planting stars is the exclusive skill of Lei Tiantang. This is almost the same thing as the creation of the gods. If these stars are born smoothly, and If Lei Tiantang didn't come to devour them, but something very interesting would happen.
　　 You must know that there is a high probability that planets will be formed in the surrounding area during the process of star formation. Will life be produced on these planets over a billion years? How would these beings understand the creation process? No matter how they understand it, anyway, Lei Tiantang would be happy as long as he thinks that he might become the creator of a world!
　　 Just when Lei Tian Tang lived like a salted fish, Jiang Yuting sent him an invitation letter, which aroused his interest.
The invitation letter was sent to him by Sotheby’s Auction House. If it weren’t for this invitation letter, Lei Tiantang would have almost forgotten about the auction of two works of art at his auction house. I spent 400 million RMB to spend!
There are too many things that happened during this period, and although these two jade works of art are very valuable to ordinary people, they are no longer in his eyes, so Lei Tiantang almost took this After leaving the matter behind, he opened the auction album that was sent with the invitation letter with great interest.
The thick picture album contains exquisite patterns and introductions. Lei Tiantang is interested in watching one by one. There are ancient Chinese paintings, porcelains, artworks, modern paintings, various gems, Antique watches and the like, anyway, as long as they are valuable, they are auctioned.
　　 Lei Tiantang also plans to take a few pieces of art to decorate the office above his private laboratory, where he will work most of the time, and the office also needs decoration. So he asked Jiang Yuting to call to confirm that he would go.
On April 18th, Lei Tian Tang’s private plane landed at Xiangjiang’s airport because the Sotheby’s spring auction was in Xiangjiang. Although Lei Tian Tang’s jade was collected by people from the Beijing branch at that time, it was so valuable. Of course, the lot must be on a big stage to get a good price!
　　 The hotel's special car had already waited for them outside the airport. After receiving Lei Tiantang and Jiang Yuting, the car slowly drove into the traffic and drove towards the hotel. Because Lei Tiantang will stay here for a few days, Jiang Yuting booked him a presidential suite. Originally, she was going to live in a business suite, but she waved a big hand from Tongtian Tower and ordered a business suite. Do you have some travel expenses? Let her open a presidential suite next to him.
It’s also because they are lucky. Otherwise, the presidential suite can’t be booked during this period. After all, Sotheby’s spring auctions attract a large number of top rich people to participate every year. None of these people are poor. Lei Tian Tang’s The two rooms are not refunded by others because they have something to do. Otherwise, it would be nice to be able to live in a business suite. He is not the only rich person.
　　 In the next two days, both Lei Tian and Tang will visit Sotheby’s previews every day. Whether things are good or not, you have to see them before you can rest assured! After watching Lei Tiantang for two days, he also had several goals. There were two ancient paintings and an antique porcelain vase, as well as several very good modern paintings. Lei Tiantang plans to take them all back. I have read so many books recently, and I can be considered a cultural person. There are still some high-end artworks in the office.
　　 The first auction that started on the evening of April 21 was modern paintings and calligraphy. The few fine modern paintings that Lei Tiantang was interested in were all auctioned tonight, so he also brought Jiang Yuting to participate.
A deputy manager of Sotheby’s received him warmly. Lei Tiantang was very popular some time ago. For Sotheby’s, Lei Tiantang is now a particularly wealthy client. If the top auction house has this information If you don’t know it, you would have closed down early, so of course you have to treat him well, and guide him to the private room very politely, and then leave him with snacks such as tea and fruits. Lei Tiantang admires them very much. Arrangement, there is really a feeling of customer first, of course, to get such a service, you must first have money! And you have to be rich!
　　 Not long after, on the auction podium in the lobby, the manager of the auction house first said a welcome message, and then the auctioneer came up with white gloves, and the auction officially started under his announcement.
The first painting is a painting by a certain abstract art master. The name Lei Tiantang is just something I don’t want to remember anyway, because he is not interested in such paintings at all, and he can’t appreciate the style of painting. Maybe he doesn’t have any artistic cells Well, anyway, Lei Tiantang can't understand what those messy lines and colors mean~EbookFREE.me~ In his opinion, graffiti with children is on the same level, of course this is only his personal opinion.
There are many people at the scene who are bound to get this painting. The auction house usually chooses some heavyweights when choosing the first lot. This can enhance the atmosphere of the auction, so this painting is obviously being auctioned. OK.
This is true at the scene. The bidding is one after another. From the starting price of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, it took a short time to reach 8.6 million. At this time, there are still three people bidding against each other, of course all foreigners. Their aesthetics are also speechless, and they are too far away from the world of art!
　　 In the end, this painting actually broke the ten million mark! The transaction price reached 10.8 million Hong Kong dollars. Lei Tiantang had to wonder if he was a rich man. Even this painting he could not understand at all could be sold at such a high price. high?
The next few paintings were all sold. As expected of the white-glove auctioneer, the level of inspiring the atmosphere of the scene is really top-notch. Any paintings are very collectable by him, and it is estimated that they will appreciate in value over time. Anyway, Lei The people who participated in the auction in Tiantang still bought it very much. This can be seen from the fact that an impressionist oil painting with a starting price of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars was fired to 3.6 million.
The seventh auction item has finally arrived at the painting that Lei Tiantang pays attention to. This is a work by the Russian contemporary realist oil painting master Hamid Savkuyev. Lei Tiantang liked this painting very much, and an old man took it. Using a brush to paint flowers on his sheep, the work perfectly blends realism and classicism, and the pictures full of mysterious atmosphere are unique, pure and simple. The richness of the picture elements, the allegorical nature of the content, and the originality of the painting language all give people a strong visual impact.
