My 1999

With so many people guarding him, Xu Liang didn't refuse out of politeness.

"OK."

The man smiled happily and quickly thanked him.

The people around saw it and couldn't help but feel envious.

If I had known that Boss Xu was so easy to talk to, I would have paid more to take down the painting and hold Xu Tanhua's smelly feet.

When the time comes to have a meal together and if we can reach a cooperation, Boss Xu can earn back dozens or even hundreds of times the price of a sketch with just a little bit of his fingers.

Alas, why did I hesitate at that time?

Many people sighed inwardly.

“What’s going to be auctioned next is today’s finale.”

One sentence attracted everyone's attention.

An album page appeared on the big screen, but compared to the previous album pages, this one was much thicker.

"What you are seeing is the "Hundred-Open Book of Du Fu's Poetry" by Lu Yanshao, a master of modern Chinese landscape painting.

Lu Yanshao is an outstanding Chinese painter and outstanding Chinese painting educator in modern times. His artistic achievements and academic status are unparalleled. Together with Li Keran, he is known as the "Southern Lu and Northern Li". He can be called the "Grand Master" of modern Chinese painting.

He is particularly good at using the pen to express the different changes in natural mountains and rivers through different uses of the pen tip, pen belly, and pen root.

The lines are sparse and smooth, combining hardness and softness.

Yunshui is his unique achievement, with a mixture of majestic beauty and ups and downs.

Hooking up clouds and water, vast waves of smoke, steaming clouds and mist, the changes are endless, and the method of leaving large blanks and ink blocks is created.

It doubles as characters and flowers, and the calligraphy is also unique.

This set of "Hundred Open Volumes of Du Fu's Poetry" consists of a total of one hundred paintings, each 43.5 x 27.5 cm. They are landscape paintings created by Lu Yanshao with Du Fu's poems as the title of his lifelong efforts.

According to our investigation, in the summer of 1959, Lu Yanshao planned to compose the fortieth volume of Du Fu's poems to commemorate the 1,250th anniversary of Du Fu's birth.

After Wu Hufan, a leading figure in the painting world, heard about it, he suggested creating a hundred paintings.

Lu Yan spent several months working hard, first completing twenty-five paintings, and then plowing the inkstone field for three years, completing an unprecedented one hundred landscape paintings.

During the buzz period, "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volumes" was forced to be handed over to the Magic City Painting Academy. During the period, 35 pages were stolen, and only 65 pages were returned.

In 1989, the 80-year-old Lu Yanshao worked hard in Beijing to repaint and complete the painting.

The "Hundred-Open Book of Du Fu's Poetry" auctioned this time is a complete complement to this. It is unique in its unique style because it completely integrates Lu Yan's landscape paintings in his youth, middle age and old age.

It can be said that "Du Fu's Poetry Hundred Open Volume" is the pinnacle of Lu Yanshao's artistic achievements in his life, and it is also an artistic orphan formed under special historical conditions.

Now that Mr. Lu Yanshao has passed away, "Du Fu's Poetic Volume" is even more precious! "

After a pause, the auctioneer calmed down a little.

"Lu Yanshao's "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volumes", the starting price is 16 million, and each increase in price is no less than 100,000. The auction starts now."

"16.5 million."

"17 million."

"18 million."......

In less than a minute, the price exceeded 20 million, and two minutes later it was 30 million.

40 million in three minutes.

Although there are fewer bids coming and going, the upward trend has not slowed down at all.

"you want?"

Looking at Xu Liang's eagerness to try, Jiang Xiaoyang asked.

"Of course. There are not many representative works in a painter's life. This "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volume" is definitely the representative work among all the representative works of Lu Yanshao, and it is the only one of its kind.

This kind of art has huge room for appreciation. "

After a pause, Xu Liang continued.

"I didn't expect that Hanhai would explode this year. Yesterday, I bought a set of "Song of Stone Drums" in cursive script by Xian Yushu, a famous Yuan Dynasty artist, for 46.2 million yuan. Today I took out this painting of "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volumes" by Lu Yanshao. It's amazing. "

Today's Chinese artworks are considered high-priced if the price exceeds one million, and only a few pieces exceed tens of millions a year.

Hanhai sells two pieces a year, and the prices are very high.

"Isn't Xian Yushu's cursive "Song of the Stone Drum" hidden in the Metropolitan Museum of America?"

Jiang Xiaoyang said doubtfully.

When she was studying in the United States, she visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art many times and was deeply impressed by the collection of top-notch Chinese art.

"There are two copies of "Song of Stone Drums" written by Xian Yushu, one of which was written in the fifth year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty and is now in the Metropolitan Museum of America.

The second is the current volume, which is a perfect work from the mature period of Xian Yushu's calligraphy skills. Its paper and ink are perfect, which is better than the final work of the "Metropolitan Edition". "

"real?"

"Hanhai said so, and many experts also recognized it. The company's calligraphy and painting appraisers also certified it as authentic, so it is authentic." Xu Liangdao.

Are any of the artworks up for auction fake?

Isn't this nonsense?

The auction house's appraiser didn't have his eyes open again.

But what about fake ones? As long as there is an endorsement from the auction house, the inheritance will be in order, and it will be easier to sell it in the future.

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded.

The company's calligraphy and painting appraisers are all China's top calligraphy and painting appraisal experts, and there are not one, but three.

If a fake can be fooled by three of them at the same time, then it can probably be fooled by 99.99% of the appraisers in the country. If it is this level, it doesn't matter if it is true or false.

But this probability is too low.

"It's already 60 million." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

Xu Liang responded.

There are not many people still bidding now.

"65 million, is there anything more than 65 million?"

The auctioneer was very excited. To this day, the Chinese auction market has never had an auction price exceed 60 million. It can be said that today’s auction is destined to make history.

As an auctioneer, he is destined to be remembered by countless people.

Xu Liang grabbed the number plate at hand.

"66 million."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

The auctioneer beamed.

"66 million, Mr. Xu offered 66 million. Is there anything higher?"

The three remaining bidders looked at me and I looked at you, and they all became hesitant.

Although they are all wealthy people in the eyes of ordinary people, they also look at who they compare with.

In front of Xu Liang, who has a net worth of 38.9 billion U.S. dollars, his legs are thicker than theirs even if he plucks out his hair, so he has no chance of winning.

And what if you offend someone?

That's the big deal.

So the fierce competition the auctioneers hoped for never materialized.

For 66 million, Lu Yanshao's "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volume" successfully fell into the hands of Xu Liang.

The auctioneer was a little disappointed, but he still happily dropped the hammer.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xu for winning this grand finale, congratulations."

Accompanied by applause, the auction also came to an end.

But after the auction ended, no one left.

Looking at the pair of fiery eyes, Xu Liang couldn't help but become nervous.

He was not afraid of these people, but he was afraid that they would affect the pregnant Jiang Xiaoyang.

"Mr. Xu, please come with me this way."

Cao Hui appeared in time and pointed to the other door of the conference room.

Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and left through the side door with Jiang Xiaoyang, Lu Hui and Huo Gang.

The person who had taken his sketch before quickly followed him.

Huo Gang, who was last, still remembered what Xu Liang had said before, so he didn't stop him.

But others are not so lucky.

After leaving the large conference room, Cao Hui opened the door opposite.

A room filled with wine and food appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Xu, it's already noon, why don't you stay and have a quick meal before leaving?"

Xu Liang thought about it briefly and agreed, "Then you're welcome."

Cao Hui was overjoyed.

"Mr. Xu, please."

Welcoming Xu Liang respectfully.

Looking at the middle-aged man who followed him, Xu Liang smiled and said, "You haven't asked for advice yet...?"

"My name is Wu Kebo, and I am the general manager of Magic City Zhihong Entertainment Co., Ltd. This is my business card."

Xu Liang took it and took a look.

Whether it was him or Zhihong Entertainment Co., Ltd., he had no impression at all.

Not only do I have no impression in this life, but also in my previous life.

Wu Kebo is also a good person. Looking at Xu Liang's expression, you can tell that others don't recognize him.

"Mr. Xu, the famous Japanese musician Tetsuya Komuro and I are very good friends. We also established Yoshimoto Kogyo Co., Ltd. together. Tetsuya Komuro and I both admire Mr. Xu very much."

There was a hint of understanding on Xu Liang's face.

He didn’t know Wu Kebo, but he knew Komuro Tetsuya.

This guy promoted electronic dance music into the mainstream of Japanese pop music in the mid-1990s, setting off a social phenomenon known as "den mania."

He is responsible for most of the music production of many famous singers, such as TRF, Tomomi Hanahara, Ami Suzuki, and the generation of queen Namie Amuro (early), etc., and is recognized as one of the people who had the greatest influence on the Japanese music industry in the 1990s.

The total sales of singles and albums produced by Tetsuya Komuro exceed 170 million copies, ranking first in Japanese history.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The point is that Tetsuya Komuro is affiliated with Aihui Records.

Hongmeng Dongying Company owns 43% of Aihui.

Originally there were not so many, but the global record industry has been in recession in the past two years. Although Japan has become an exception in the world, due to the impact of the general environment, record companies have not received capital attention.

Hongmeng Dongying Company continued to acquire equity and gradually became the largest shareholder.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be a senior executive of a multinational company."

"You praise me too much. My small achievements are nothing in front of you. However, our Zhihong Entertainment will invest in film and television dramas in China next, and we also hope to cooperate with Hongmeng."

"Hongmeng is happy to cooperate with any excellent company, provided that Mr. Wu's scripts or works can be recognized by Hongmeng Entertainment."

Wu Kebo's smile faltered, and then he nodded repeatedly.

"You are right, I will definitely lead the company to produce excellent works."

Xu Liang smiled, "Let's eat, don't let Mr. Cao's kindness go down."

"Mr. Xu, let me pour you a drink."

"Forget the wine, I have work in the afternoon, let's have tea instead of wine."

After he said this, of course others would not dare to refuse.

After finishing the meal, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Mr. Xu, there will be a stamp sale this afternoon..."

Xu Liang waved his hand, "Forget it, I accept Mr. Cao's kindness. I have to leave now because I have work to do in the afternoon. The paintings I took will naturally be contacted by Hanhai."

"Okay, okay."

"Goodbye, you two."

"Mr. Xu, walk slowly."
