I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 197 196. The most collectible artist in the future! Today’s live broadcast income?
This night!
No one in the entire domestic collecting circle may be sleeping, and everyone's eyes are on Chengdu.

Always keep an eye on the final price of Jiang Chen's painting "Jiang Jinjiu" at the auction.

This will determine the pattern of the domestic collection circle in the next few decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.

When the price of 2.5 billion was fixed, the entire Chinese collecting community was instantly shaken.

on site!

Zhang Zhiqiang's face flushed with excitement.

He had thought that the final transaction price might be more than 1.5 billion, but he thought it would be around 1.8 or 1.9 billion at most. He had fantasized about 2 billion, but he never dared to imagine that it would eventually be sold at the incredible price of 2.5 billion!
At this price, you can buy the best national treasure-level antiques in the country.

And now, Jiang Chen’s new work, which he had just written for less than a day, can be sold at such a sky-high price.

The auctioneer also shouted in a trembling voice: "Two and a half billion, sir, two and a half billion, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"

"Two and a half billion, any more?"

"Jiang Chen's first work to be traded, his first top-notch master-level cursive calligraphy, a poem that will be passed down for a thousand years, 2.5 billion, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

"Two and a half billion times!"

"Two and a half billion times!"

"Two and a half billion three times..."

"make a deal……"

"Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining Jiang Chen's authentic work of wine!"

The auctioneer's face flushed with excitement. He knew that this might be the highlight of his life. He had never thought that he would have the opportunity to auction a work of art worth 2.5 billion.

Converted into US dollars, it is about 400 million US dollars, which is the highest price in the world.

The middle-aged man who bid 2.5 billion was the representative sent by Li Zheng. He stood up with a red face, waved to his colleagues around him, and then quickly walked to the front and shook hands with the auctioneer and Zhang Zhiqiang: "Thank you!"

The auctioneer brought the auction house's standard contract and just wrote the number and the name of the work on it. After both parties signed, the contract officially came into effect.

At the same time, Zhang Zhiqiang also handed over the document signed by himself and Han Qing to the buyer. This document can prove the origin of the work and will also be one of the proofs of authenticity in the future.

In modern society, the antique art market is also extremely formal, and items traded publicly at auctions basically have proof of origin.

The middle-aged man took the document, took a photo and sent it to Li Zheng. The document had Zhang Zhiqiang's name and the payment account on it.

Li Zheng looked at the photo and then made the payment!

He had informed the bank in advance, otherwise such a large sum of money would not be possible to transfer to his personal account at any time.

Less than a minute.

Zhang Zhiqiang received a text message on his mobile phone - 2.5 billion, arrived!

As for whether he will have to pay taxes in the future, that is his own business. Li Zheng, the auctioneer, and Jiang Chen will not interfere. If he evades taxes, that is his own problem and he will be responsible for it.

Zhang Zhiqiang looked at the long string of numbers on the bank's text message, his hands trembling, and he couldn't believe it. He read the text message carefully and found that it was indeed sent by the bank. He was sure that it was real and not fake. It also showed his previous balance of more than 300 yuan!

The many real estate agents and auctioneers around looked at Zhang Zhiqiang with envy, knowing that Zhang Zhiqiang had truly changed the fate of himself and his family!
Although they are all veterans who have been in the circle for many years and often deal with the top wealthy people in the circle, they do not have much assets themselves. At most, they are only tens of millions or hundreds of millions, which are the savings from a lifetime of hard work.

Like Zhang Zhiqiang, who suddenly became rich overnight, he went from being a confused middle-aged man with a balance of more than 300 yuan, a divorced single man with a child, to a wealthy man with a fortune of 2.5 billion.

No one would not envy such an experience!

Even Yan Ruyu looked at Zhang Zhiqiang with envy.

Of course, she was not envious of Zhang Zhiqiang for getting so much money, but she was envious of Zhang Zhiqiang for getting Jiang Chen's work. If she won the prize, she would never sell it, even if she was just an ordinary person, she would not sell it, but would collect it and appreciate it for a lifetime.

pity!

She didn’t win the prize.

Yan Ruyu sighed. She knew that not only did she not win the prize, but she also knew that her brother did not buy the original painting of "Song of the Wine".

The price is as high as 2.5 billion. She knows that her brother probably can't come up with so much spare money. He must have so much liquid funds, but it's not spare money. If he forcibly collects so much money and spends it, it will definitely affect the operation of the company, which will be a loss.

Yan Ruyu never thought of forcing her brother to buy Jiang Chen's work at the cost of sacrificing her own career.

She knew that her brother must have tried his best.

She looked enviously at the middle-aged man who bought the Jiangjinjiu again. She knew that he was definitely not the real owner. She was curious about who was behind it, and then turned and left.

Zhang Zhiqiang exchanged a few words with everyone and then quickly left the hotel excitedly.

The middle-aged man put the original copy of Jiang Jinjiu into a password box, quickly got in the car and left, heading towards a villa community in Chengdu. They soon arrived at the community and drove directly into a villa.

Li Zheng was already waiting at the door. When he saw the car stop, he quickly went over to open the door and looked at the box in the middle-aged man's hand: "Did you get it?"

The middle-aged man handed the box to Li Zheng with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for fulfilling your mission!"

He spent a lot of time running around for Li Zheng and finally bought an authentic work of Jiang Chen.

However, he also knew that this had little to do with his own abilities, but was all due to Li Zheng's ability to make money.

Li Zheng quickly took the box, then turned around and walked quickly into the house, his face full of impatience.

Walking into the villa hall, Li Zheng placed the box on the large table and slowly opened it.

The middle-aged man also walked in quickly and took out the contract signed with Zhang Zhiqiang, as well as the documents signed by Zhang Zhiqiang and Han Qing and put them away.

However, Li Zheng was not in the mood to pay attention to those things at the moment. He opened the box excitedly, then quickly picked up the scroll in the box with both hands. Just as he was about to open it, he glanced at the coffee table again, fearing that there would be stains on the coffee table. He immediately turned around and quickly went to the study, then put the scroll on the desk and slowly opened it!

The middle-aged man quickly followed in and stood behind Li Zheng, watching Li Zheng slowly open the authentic painting of Jiang Chen's "Song of the Wine".

He knew that Li Zheng really liked Jiang Chen's work and liked it to the point of being crazy, which was why he was willing to buy this work at such a high price.

Of course, he knew that the other buyers participating in the auction basically all liked Jiang Chen’s works very much, otherwise they would not have spent more than ten billion to buy them!
I can only say that the charm of Jiang Chen's works is really powerful.

Li Zheng slowly opened the scroll, and wild cursive calligraphy characters appeared one by one.

Li Zheng followed and read slowly.

"Wine is coming!"

"If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return."

"Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening."

“When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don’t let the golden cup face the moon in vain.” “I was born with talents that will be useful, and even if I spend all my money, I will get it back…”

Li Zheng blushed as he read it, and praised: "Good, good, very well written! The handwriting is good, and the poem is even better!"

At this moment, Li Zheng felt that the 2.5 billion he spent was worth it.

The middle-aged man also praised: "Only when you see Jiang Chen's work up close can you know how beautiful it is. Mr. Li, the money you spent is definitely worth it. Mr. Li, you were not at the scene, so you don't know how fierce the competition was at that time. The reserve price was only 100 million, but it soared to more than 1 billion in less than five minutes, and exceeded 1.5 billion. Most people gave up, and in the end, I and two other people bid more than 2 billion!"

“This is the craziest auction I’ve ever been a part of.”

The middle-aged man said this with a somewhat excited look on his face.

He has been in this business for more than ten or twenty years and has participated in hundreds or even thousands of public and private auctions, but he has never seen such a crazy auction.

There were more than a dozen buyers who were so crazy that they didn’t treat the money seriously and didn’t feel sorry for spending billions.

The highest transaction price in domestic auctions before was less than 10 billion.

This time, the amount increased several times, reaching a terrifying 2.5 billion.

Li Zheng listened and smiled proudly: "Indeed, only after seeing Jiang Chen's work up close, I know that no matter how much money I spend, it is worth it! These words are a pleasure to read no matter how you look at them! This poem is definitely enough to be passed down for thousands of years, and it will definitely be included in textbooks within ten years!"

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement: "That's for sure, Mr. Li, I predict. When Jiang Chen grows old and dies, his works will definitely appreciate in value. Because the artistic level of his works is so high, and no one can compare to him in the thousands of years of Chinese history. What he lacks is time to settle. Therefore, the longer time passes, the more valuable Jiang Chen's works will be."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "I don't care about these things. I just like them. By the way, how is the last painting of He Xinlang now?"

Li Zheng was fascinated by Jiang Chen's works at this time. He didn't care whether they would appreciate in value in the future. He just wanted to own them and wanted to own more. After getting a painting of "Song of the Wine", he looked at another painting of He Xinlang's original work, which he was most likely to buy.

He likes this painting of "Song of the Wine" very much, but he also likes the painting of "He Xinlang" equally and wants it very much!
of course……

He wanted every piece of work Jiang Chen wrote.

If Jiang Chen is really willing to sell.

Even if it means damaging the family business, he will take out the money to buy all the original works of Jiang Chen!

Unfortunately!
Jiang Chen doesn't sell his own works.

After hearing the three words "He Xinlang", the middle-aged man quickly said, "I sent someone to follow him. Today, this painting of Jiang Jinjiu was sold for 2.5 billion. Tomorrow I will send someone to tell them the number of a family of three. I don't believe they won't be tempted."

Li Zheng nodded: "Okay, you do your best. If they want to sell it, I must buy it!"

Middle-aged man: “Okay!”

The two of them admired the authentic painting of "Song of the Wine" for a while again, and then the middle-aged man said goodbye. Before leaving, he received the commission promised by Li Zheng, a full five million yuan, which was more than he had earned in the previous few years combined. Knowing that Li Zheng was really happy this time, he generously gave him a commission of five million yuan even though it cost 2.5 billion yuan. He was full of motivation and tried to buy the painting "Congratulations to the Bride" for Li Zheng again.

…&…

at this time!

The entire Chinese collecting community was in shock.

The extremely high transaction price of 2.5 billion refreshed the auction record of Chinese antique artworks. It was also the record of the latest work. It was sold at a high price of 2.5 billion just one day after it was written!

Many real estate agents, antique dealers, and collectors have all turned their attention to Jiang Chen's other works!

This painting of "Song of the Wine" can be sold for 2.5 billion, then what about Jiang Chen's more rare masterpieces?

How much are "Viewing the Mountain", "The Knight's Song" and "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" worth?
How much is the Langtaosha Order worth?
The extremely high price of 2.5 billion did not scare away other businessmen and collectors, but instead made them more eager for Jiang Chen's works.

This is a typical case of chasing highs and not lows. Jiang Chen's works are valuable and rare. They are irreplaceable in the past few decades and even in the future.

All of a sudden, every collector became more eager for Jiang Chen's works!

…………

Li Wenbin was in Beijing, and he sent an embarrassed message to his sister Li Wenjun: "Sorry, I didn't buy Jiang Jin Liquor! The price was higher than I expected, and the final transaction price reached 2.5 billion."

Li Wenjun was surprised when he saw the news. 2.5 billion?

Although she was not in the collector circle, she knew some news information. She knew that the highest price of antique artworks sold at auction in the country did not exceed 1 billion. Now Jiang Chen's work has directly reached a transaction price of 2.5 billion?
It was indeed not his brother's fault. Li Wenjun replied, "It's okay. I'll find another opportunity later."

Li Wenbin's desire for Jiang Chen's work became even stronger at this moment. He made up his mind that next time he met him, he would prepare more cash in advance. Next time, he would directly spend 2.5 billion.

Li Wenbin said to Li Wenjun: "I will go to Rongcheng tomorrow to see you and watch Jiang Chen's performance at the Sichuan University anniversary celebration."

Li Wenjun: "Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport."

Li Wenbin: "Wang Fei is also in Chengdu?"

Li Wenjun: "Yes, she said she was going to Sichuan Conservatory of Music for exchange, but as far as I know, she wanted to come here on her own initiative. Sichuan Conservatory of Music took the opportunity to invite her to stay and teach at Sichuan Conservatory of Music."

Li Wenbin was silent, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

The goddess he had been pursuing for many years now followed Jiang Chen to Rongcheng, and was willing to silently give for Jiang Chen.

Li Wenbin: "Okay, I understand."

The brother and sister also ended their conversation.

………………

Jiang Chen returned home and did not pay attention to what happened after the lottery. He left it all to Han Qing. When he got home, he washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Of course, before going to bed, I still uploaded the new song "Ugly" that I sang tonight to the Penguin Music platform, and watched the song "Chengdu" that I uploaded yesterday.

The sales volume in Chengdu exceeded seven million in one day, setting a new record for sales volume in 24 hours, which surprised Jiang Chen a little.

The sales of all other songs have increased significantly, with the highest sales exceeding 18 million and approaching 20 million, and the sales of most works are around 15 million.

Jiang Chen took a quick look and fell asleep.

……

After Han Qing handed the wine to Zhang Zhiqiang, she went back to her room to rest.

She also sorted out Jiang Chen’s live broadcast data today as soon as possible!

Tonight's live broadcast had a peak online audience of over 57 million people...

How much revenue does this generate?
