My 1991

After a night.

The next day, Lu An was woken up by someone, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the energetic Meng Qingshui.

He turned over, half asleep, yawned and asked, "What time is it? Why don't you sleep more?"

Meng Qingshui sat on his bedside without hesitation and said, "It's already 7 o'clock. I'm so excited that I can't sleep. I just want to tell you to go to the auction site early."

Lu An fainted. How could this girl be more excited than him? He asked again: "Where is Wu Yuren? Are you up?"

Meng Qingshui nodded slightly: "She washed her hair and is blowing it."

In the closed space, seeing her eyes shining down as she looked at him from a high position, Lu An stretched his hands back and hurriedly sat up and said, "Please step aside, I'm going to get dressed."

Meng Qingshui looked at him resentfully, stood up and walked out.

She was just testing to see if he had any thoughts about her?

The result disappointed her.

When he was in junior high school, whenever he had some alone time, he would put aside his image of a modest gentleman in front of others and immediately transform into a money wolf, hugging and kissing himself, and sometimes even messing around with him.

At first she was a little overwhelmed by this situation, and just struggled with her eyes closed shyly. But later she started to enjoy it a little bit, not enjoying his misbehavior on her, but loving him so much that he was so hungry for her, which proved that he Like myself very much.

What would happen to him if it was his sister just now?

Will he hug his sister like he did in junior high?

Meng Qingshui thought as she walked out of the room and into the corridor outside.

After washing up and having breakfast, Lu An, the three of them joined Wu Dan and Ding Chao to Haibo Auction House.

Today is a big day. Yu Guanzhi and Chen Quan have been planning for this day for a long time. They are very busy at this moment. Even if five people came over, she and Chen Quan would only show up to say hello, and then they would be too busy to show up.

There were so many people at the scene, and the queue outside was full. It seemed that the heavy publicity for a month had a very good effect.

It was still early before the official auction. After Lu An chatted with Wu Dan and Ding Chao for a few words, he separated with Meng Qingshui and Wu Yu and acted alone.

The venue is very large. When you enter, you will see two neat rows of security guards. They all have black suits, black leather shoes, and all have short haircuts. Although they have different looks, they all have one thing in common: they have bright eyes and are very energetic.

Chen Quan thoughtfully gave each of the three people a VIP nameplate, which they could hang on their chests so they could go around without any obstructions. Wherever they went, they were warmly received by the auction house employees.

There are many types of auctions, such as jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and antiques, famous watches and wines, etc.

The most surprising thing is that there are many silver utensils.

These auction items are placed in glass showcases, with staff guarding each entrance.

Wu Yu admired the jewelry for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Can I take it out and have a look?"

The staff member showed a professional smile and said, "Hello, madam, yes, do you want to see it up close?"

Wu Yu asked curiously, but he didn't expect that the staff actually opened the glass display window. He suddenly panicked and quickly took a step back to Lu An's side.

Seeing Qing Shui staring at a string of tourmaline necklaces for a long time, Lu An said, "Please take this out and have a look."

"Okay, sir."

Meng Qingshui was a little unsure when he saw this scene for the first time, but when Lu An stood beside him and cheered silently, he calmly took the gem from the staff and inspected it.

Seeing that she was very involved, the staff introduced: "This is a beautiful and precious natural Mozambique Paraiba tourmaline. The tourmaline weighs 106.8 grams and is paired with a diamond pendant necklace weighing about 16.20 grams."

Lu An asked: "What is the estimated price of this auction?"

The staff member replied: "The estimate is over 70,000."

Wu Yu clicked his tongue when he heard this and thought to himself, "I'm such a good boy. I can't even afford this thing even if we sell our belongings and people at home."

Lu An asked again: "When was this taken?"

The staff answered: "This is the 2nd, the night of the 2nd."

Lu An asked again: "What is the deposit for the jewelry store? If you want to participate in the auction?"

The staff said: "The number of new customers is 50,000."

50,000. Compared with the big international auction houses, this deposit is not particularly high, but it is definitely not low these days. It is even more than half higher than some old auction houses.

After looking at the tourmaline and walking to another area, Lu An asked Meng Qingshui: "Do you like it?"

Meng Qingshui seemed to know what he was thinking, nodding and shaking his head: "It looks good, but it's not suitable for me."

Lu An also felt the same way. The tourmaline was nice to look at, but it didn't fit Qing Shui's character and temperament at all. And tourmaline is not a top-grade gemstone, so he doesn't particularly care about it.

Although he is deliberately keeping a distance from Qingshui now, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have her in his heart. It's just because of Sister Qingchi that he is forced to do this. If he wants to give something as a gift, it must be top-notch, not this kind of tourmaline that can't go up or down. .

After walking around for a while, I saw a 150.86-carat natural untreated two-color tourmaline pendant with no reserve price.

39.74 carat natural opal stone with colored gemstones and diamond ring, base price 10,000.

There is also a rare 45.18-carat natural Colombian Young Luther emerald and diamond pendant necklace with a base price of 200,000.

…

Women like gemstones of different colors. Lu An accompanied Meng Qingshui and Wu Yu to stroll around the jewelry district for a long time, and then went to the contemporary art district.

In his previous life, he was also a painter, and his achievements were pretty good. However, he came to auctions only a handful of times, but after all, he had seen it before, and he still had a good eye for prices.

Chen Quan is worthy of being an executive from Sotheby's in New York. He is very familiar with the auction house's tools. Each painting in the art area has been individually lit. There is a light and dark line at the junction of the painting and the frame. The boundary line was very dark on site, but the painting was lit separately.

It’s only 1993. It seems that this preview has been extremely thoughtful. Lu An watched it all the way and secretly admired it.

There are many paintings by Chinese artists as well as many paintings by foreign famous artists in the preview, but there are only four paintings that are the highlight. Most collectors and buyers come here for these four paintings.

The first painting is Pablo Picasso's "Woman with a Hat", with a starting price of 2.3 million.

The second painting is "Stairs" by Claude Monet, with a starting price of 2.5 million.

The third painting is "Bazincourt Laundry Pool" by Camille Pissarro, with a starting price of 1.5 million.

The fourth painting is "Eternity" by Lu An, with a starting price of 2 million.

These four paintings are the main focus of Haibo Auction House this time. Chen Quan and Yu Guanzhi spent a lot of effort to put together the first three paintings.

They are now hanging in a line on the wall, and there are many people gathered under each painting.

In addition to the four paintings, there is another painting that is also very eye-catching, and that is Lu Ann's "Untitled".

Although "Untitled" is not for public auction, the number of collectors gathered in front of the painting is no less than that of the other four paintings. Among the crowd are not only major collectors from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but also many blond foreigners.

Especially these blond foreigners, almost all of whom have a camera in hand, are constantly taking pictures of "Untitled" and whispering to each other.

When seeing Lu An's paintings side by side with those of world masters like Picasso and Monet, Wu Yu was dumbfounded and turned to stone!

One word, shocking!

Two words, so fucking shocking!

I originally thought that Lu An's paintings were just a small show, but after overhearing the conversations of these potential buyers, I realized that Lu An was so amazing and was the grand finale of the auction house!

Compared with the huge shock of Wu Yu, Meng Qingshui was in a different situation.

She couldn't help but hold Lu An's arm with her left hand, and her whole body was trembling slightly. If Lu An hadn't been dragging her body with his hands, she would have almost lost her balance, and she couldn't stand still due to excitement.

Meng Qingshui turned her head and stared at Lu An, her eyes full of admiration, admiration, and tears. She was happy for him and proud of him.

Receiving her gaze, Lu An smiled and asked, "Are you happy?"

Meng Qingshui hummed heavily, "Happy."

Lu An helped her hair with his left hand and smiled: "Happiness is still behind me."

Meng Qingshui hummed again.

Ps: In order to get the starting price of these jewelry and famous paintings, I checked the information for a long time in March and spent a lot of time. In the end, I could only write down an approximate number based on the year. If there is anything wrong, please correct me.

I’ve updated about 170,000 words this month. Well, I won’t say anything anymore. I’ll try to perform better in September. Hey, I don’t dare to talk too much now, for fear that the bosses will point their fingers at me and scold me, but I will really work hard. Well, you have to make a living after all.

In addition, there is no charge for ps.
