Chapter 579. The summer's rascals
"One hundred and ten thousand!" "One hundred and twenty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
… ….
"One hundred and fifty thousand going once!" 150,000 times! 150,000 going thrice! "Deal!" These sounds were quite pleasing to the ears, because all of them were bid by the women. Even the auctioneer was a woman, which was also the qipao beauty sitting beside Qi Jinshi. As for Qi Jinshi, he was just sitting to the side and watching.
The auction went smoothly, and the process was very simple. There was no introduction of the items, and the only way to directly bid was to bid. The competition was not that fierce, as an item would usually be sold for no more than 10 bids.
"Just like this, in less than half an hour, ten items were sold. The value of the goods rose from the initial one hundred and fifty thousand to five million." Miss Song, there's no one who can appraise those collectibles in this auction? " At this time, Ye Mengying couldn't help herself and said her doubts, "Aren't you afraid of everyone buying fake goods?"
"Miss Ye, do you think that you won't be able to buy a fake one just because someone appraised it?" Song Yumei smiled and asked.
Ye Mengying was stunned for a moment before she embarrassedly smiled, "I really don't know. I am not familiar with this area."
There are many counterfeits that have been appraised as real and then auctioned off. The price of the counterfeit painting is ten million dollars, and many of the so-called appraisers of antiques don't care about ethics. If you go and paint a picture for yourself and then give each of them hundreds of thousands of dollars, they can also appraise your painting as an ancient painting. Song Yumei seemed to have a good impression of Ye Mengying, so she patiently explained this collector's chaos to her.
After looking at Qi Jinshi, Song Yumei continued, "This is also the reason why we are here at this private auction. Qi Jinshi is a collector, and he has a good eye, every time he auctioned something, it would be appraised by him, and in these twenty years, no counterfeit goods would appear in the collection he auctioned, so he has already established a good reputation. He said what it is, and everyone believes it, so there is no need to appraise it anymore."
"So that's how it is." Ye Mengying finally understood, "Thank you, Miss Song, for answering my question."
Song Yumei smiled and did not say anything else, but instead yawned at the side. What auction, it was so boring, why had the picture of Tang Bohu not appeared yet? Following that, as the value of the items auctioned became higher, the auctions became more intense. At this time, Qi Jinshi also began to give a simple introduction of each item, and the speed of the auctions naturally became slower.
Unknowingly, another hour had passed, and in this one hour, Song Yumei did not buy anything at all. It was as if she had only come here for Tang Bohu's real work.
"Now it's the last item in the collection, Tang Yin's picture of a woman." Qi Jinshi's words lifted the spirits of the slumbering summer. It was finally time.
On the other side, Qi Jinshi was still introducing the painting, "Everyone knows that Tang Yin is good at drawing women, he has painted many pictures of women in his life, but unfortunately, not many of them are still alive, and most of them have been damaged, and only a few of them are still intact. As for the one in my hand, it is the most perfectly preserved one, so I won't say much about its value, but its starting price is fifty million!"
Hearing this price, Ye Mengying couldn't help but be stunned. She felt that this price was a bit outrageous. Song Yumei looked at the summer time and lightly said, "It depends on your performance."
"Five million and ten thousand." Summer spoke at this moment.
At this moment, Song Yumei finally frowned. Was this guy deliberately throwing her away? Although this auction did not limit the price to a very high price, the lowest price was indeed 10 thousand, but for such a high price, this guy had raised it by 10 thousand for the first time.
"Miss Song made a bid of 50,000,000, is there any higher bid?" The qipao beauty beside Qi Jinshi glanced at Xia Xia, and with her sweet voice, she said, "501 times, 502 times, are there any more bids?"
Song Yumei looked at the others and could not help but be a little confused. Before she came, she had received news that several people were determined to get Tang Bohu's real work, but why was there no one who could compete with her now? This was too strange. Qi Jinshi also used a surprised expression to look at the crowd. However, everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to his gaze, and no one moved.
"Is there anyone else?" The qipao beauty looked at everyone once again, and finally continued helplessly: "Five million and one hundred thousand three times! "Deal!"
"Congratulations, Miss Song." Qi Jinshi nodded at Song Yumei, but his expression was a little unnatural. This last auction was supposed to be the finale, and logically speaking, they would be fighting for it, but in reality, it was a completely different story.
"Thank you for your love, Elder Qi." Song Yumei said indifferently, this painting was originally made by Qi Jinshi, that was why she said that.
"Send the painting to Miss Song." Qi Jinshi instructed the qipao beauty beside him.
The qipao beauty nodded her head, holding the picture, she walked towards Song Yumei.
"What's going on? I clearly wanted to call out a price, but I suddenly couldn't make a sound. "
"You too? Me too! "
"Are you all like this? "I suddenly realized that I can't speak anymore. I wanted to raise my hand, but I can't move it either..."
"What the hell? What's going on?"
… ….
All of a sudden, over a dozen people started to shout at the same time. The previously orderly room also became noisy and chaotic all of a sudden.
Xia Chen took the painting from the qipao beauty's hand, and giggled at Song Yumei: "How is it? I did very well. Now, you should let me chase after you, right? "
Before Song Yumei could say anything, everyone had already rushed over. One of them asked angrily: "Miss Song, did you do something to us just now?"
"If there's no evidence, it's best not to spout nonsense!" Song Yumei's face turned cold.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then dejectedly retreated. The others looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. They quickly retreated to their original spots and sat down obediently.
All along, when Song Yumei and the others were bidding, they did not use their power to suppress others, so, there were many times that someone stole something from Song Yumei, and no one took revenge on her, causing everyone to have the illusion that Song Yumei was easy to talk to, but at this time, everyone realized, no matter how easy Song Yumei was, she was still the young miss of the Song Family, and if they did not have any evidence to accuse her, the consequences would be severe.
"Let me see what kind of person is worth fifty million yuan." Summer had already opened the painting. She took a glance at it and couldn't help but twitch her mouth, "This woman is too ugly, even fifty pieces isn't worth it!"
