"310 million." A voice came from the platform behind.
In fact, many people have a rough idea of the value of art treasures.
They believed that this painting would be worth at least 20 million in the future, but they didn't want to raise the price to that level immediately.
Moreover, this estimate is also risky because most of Mobentus's paintings are in Lin Sheng's hands.
"Four million." Akashi raised his license plate again.
This time the hall was silent.
It’s not that the price is high, but the momentum of the price increase shocked many people.
When they saw it was Akash, they hesitated.
The auctioneer was also very tactful. Even though he saw someone was still on the phone, he still called out for help three times before bringing down the hammer.
"Ms. Akashi, actually, if you like the paintings in the manor, I can give you a few."
Lin Sheng, who had regained his freedom, began to persuade him.
"Hmph! How can it be the same? I'll owe someone a favor." Akasi snorted. Gifts have to be reciprocated, but this one was bought for only four million, and she thought it was worth it.
Besides, she took the picture for the famous painter and didn't feel like she was losing out.
"Well... okay." After a moment of hesitation, he said nothing more.
It doesn't matter who takes the photo, if she wants, just let her take it.
Chapter 1083: Masks Worth Ten Million Yuan Appear at Auction
"Now let's show you the next lot."
……
"Don't look."
As soon as the auction item was displayed, Lin Sheng's eyes were once again covered by Sakura Chiyoou.
"Hahaha." Eclipse nudged Lin Sheng. "Alright! I asked you to take out all my treasures, right? I was wondering why I couldn't find them."
"What...what collection! Aren't you really ashamed of painting this kind of picture?" Lin Sheng said in a low voice with annoyance.
"Haha, as a horse racing girl, there's nothing to be ashamed of. This is art."
You big head ghost...
Lin Sheng did not want to refute her.
I really don't understand why paintings that are considered forbidden in the East are considered art in the West.
The painting currently on display is also quite distinctive.
Because oil paints were not particularly abundant in the early 18th century, many painters preferred to use a single pigment or only a few pigments.
The painting above was created using more than a dozen pigments of varying shades and colors.
This should have been a mess of paint, but it was used to paint a beautiful woman with curvy curves and big eyes.
This painting is of high quality, and its artistic atmosphere is even better than the previous one.
"Do you usually look at this kind of paintings?"
"No, I just think these paintings are not suitable to be placed in the manor, so I put them up for auction." Lin Sheng touched his injured thigh again, and this time he knew who pinched it.
He thought it might be Maruzen's skiing or the solar eclipse, but he didn't expect that the culprit was Xiao Chiyo.
I want to fight back but I can't bear to.
"Actually, I think this painting is quite good. The most important thing about a painting is its artistic beauty." Saint King Halo said as he raised the number plate in his hand calmly.
As long as you raise the hand, the price will be increased by 100,000, no more words.
Because her vision was blocked, Lin Sheng had no idea that she had participated in the auction.
"Art? You can't even look at this kind of art." Sakura Chiyo immediately retorted.
"Actually..." Yajiada hesitated to speak, and finally chose to remain silent.
The main reason why Europe became like this was that there was a princess who loved this kind of painting. It was she who made the West more and more open and learned about trends and fashion.
Therefore, as they have been influenced by Western culture, they do not object.
Besides, Tresenli would never do that.
Lin Sheng didn't know who bought the last few paintings. When he opened his eyes, they had been replaced by other items.
Several of these lots were famous paintings worth tens of millions, but he didn't look at them closely and wasn't interested.
"The next lot is..."
The young auctioneer turned his gaze to the big screen behind him. This item was quite special and he didn't know how to introduce it best.
"The starting price for a mask is 330 million francs, and each bid increase cannot be less than 30 francs."
"The bidding begins."
……
There is just a pure black mask on the screen. Such a sudden appearance of the item is really embarrassing.
Just this mask has a starting price of 3.3 million francs.
Not to mention the bidders below, even the auctioneer himself was confused.
Yajiada next to him was smiling, a little proud. Seeing that no one was bidding, he raised his number plate.
Huh? Is this mask so valuable?
Is there really someone taking this photo?
After taking a closer look, he felt that the mask seemed a little familiar.
"This lady has raised the price to 360 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
"This is caused by..."
After hearing a passage of fluent English, Lin Sheng finally understood what was going on.
This mask was the one that was blown away by the wind when he took it off on the top of the fort the day before yesterday.
Looking at Yajiada's expression, it's clear that she is selling her own selfies.
I guess she didn't think about paying taxes at all. She planned to take it out and take a picture of it, and then buy it back herself.
It is possible that due to her relationship with the Aga Khan, she does not need to pay taxes at all and will not suffer any losses from selling her own photos.
Even if she has to pay taxes, she won't care about the tax rate.
After hearing the auctioneer's words, whispers began to be heard from below.
Saixia Jingge had participated in many aristocratic gatherings, so naturally she knew most of them.
The few who didn't know her were being laughed at by other nobles. They didn't even know Saixia Jingge, so they were really ignorant.
For Jingge’s fans, if this is really Jingge’s mask, there may be fans who will buy it.
Because Saixia Jingge has always been very mysterious, few people have seen her, and she has not made her debut, it is worth it to be able to get a mask no matter how much money it costs.
Those people talked about it and picked up the phone to ask their employers, but after waiting for a long time, no one raised the price.
It seems that not many of them would participate in the auction for a mask.
"Oh, hehe..." Eclipse suddenly laughed, "It turned out to be Jingge's mask. I was wondering why it looked so familiar." She calmly raised her own number plate.
"Haha." Yajiada looked at Eclipse with a smile, thinking that she was very knowledgeable. In this way, it was worth it for her to bring this mask with her.
The price of this mask may be raised a little more today.
Just when she was about to raise the ticket in her hand, she saw the price on a small screen in front of her jump.
It was obvious that someone had participated in the auction online.
"Did you ask for help?" Eclipse asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Yajiada shook her head. "You don't know? I didn't ask anyone else..."
While they were still confused, the small screen flashed several times.
The price online continued to rise, and in just a short while, it soared to eight million.
This once again sparked heated discussions at the scene.
Anyone can see that this is definitely not the atmosphere that To can display.
It only shows that Saixia Jingge is very popular on the Internet.
Some people in the hall couldn't sit still and started to raise the price, but it was still not as fierce as the competition online. It was not until the amount exceeded 10 million that the frequency of price increases slowed down.
Yajida breathed a sigh of relief. She had no intention of auctioning it off, so she would buy it back.
"1500 million." She raised her number plate and called out a price.
This discontinuous bidding directly made those who were not well-off choose to give up.
"2000 million." Eclipse also raised his number plate and said with a half-smile, "Now that you've taken it out, do you think you can take it back?"
Well, now there are only two of them bidding.
"I say, you two, it's just a mask, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" Lin Sheng pulled Eclipse. There was no need to fight for a mask. If he wanted, he had plenty more.
"Haha, how can you say this is just a mask? Since it belongs to Jingge, of course I have to take it back." Eclipse ignored Lin Sheng.
"This thing originally belonged to me. Do you think you can snatch it from me?" Yajiada said with a sneer, holding up the number 58 plate in his hand.
"That's not necessarily true." Eclipse raised his number plate and called out another number, "5000 million."
Chapter 1084: Ruby represents the eternal crystallization of love
Yajiada's eyelids twitched. If the amount was too large, she would not be able to get tax exemption. To take out so much money at once, she would need her family's consent.
But she still decided to fight Eclipse to the end.
At this time, they have already raised the price by tens of millions.
The scene was in chaos.
They had rarely seen scenes like this, and they listened to their bidding with trepidation.
For the sake of momentum, they both stood up. The price kept rising, and when it reached 100 million, Yajiada finally felt exhausted.
Whatever thoughts other people had were gone at this moment.
The tax on this auction item alone is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"I...I want to cancel the auction..." Yajiada said weakly.
"Huh?" Eclipse rolled his eyes at her. "You still want to cancel the auction at this hour? Two..."
She was holding up the sign and was about to make a bold statement about 2 million, but Lin Sheng grabbed her and pulled her down.
"That's enough. It's just a mask. What's the big deal? Let her take it back."
"But..." Eclipse was obviously unconvinced.
"Oh, isn't it just a mask?" Lin Sheng took out a stack of black masks and stuffed them into Eclipse's hand.
This stack has been opened, and it is obvious that one has been used, leaving nine, the same model as the one above.
If you look closely, it's hard not to suspect that the one being used is the one displayed on the screen.
"This, this... this is different?" Eclipse returned the mask. "That one was used by Jingge, and your new one..."
"Oh." Lin Sheng took one out and put it on his face as if nothing had happened. He glanced at Eclipse before taking it off and placing it in Eclipse's hand. "Are you satisfied now?"
"Hehehe." Eclipse just laughed. She took the mask and really didn't pay any attention to the one above.
This made Yajiada wonder, this wasn't the mask Jingge had worn before? Could it be the same?
She knew that she and Lin Sheng were siblings and had a good relationship, so she wondered if it was because Lin Sheng helped to mediate the fight, instead of thinking that Lin Sheng was Jingge.
She couldn't figure it out for a moment, but still took a picture of the mask above.
The farce is finally over,
Later, a few more good items appeared, and Mr. Lin was still hesitating whether to buy them.
Eclipse asked him to buy at least one item, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't find anything that suited his taste.
