I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 98 Sotheby's Spring Auction

You must know that unless there are legendary super civilizations in the entire universe, the matter of planting stars is Lei Tiantang’s exclusive skill. This is almost the same thing as the creation of the gods. If these stars are born smoothly, and If Lei Tiantang didn't come to devour them, something very interesting would happen.

You must know that there is a high probability that planets will form around the star during the formation process. Will life be born on these planets after more than a billion years? How would these beings understand the process of creation? No matter how they understood it, Lei Tiantang would be happy whenever he thought that he might become the creator of a world!

Just when Lei Tiantang was living his life like a salted fish, Jiang Yuting sent him an invitation letter, which aroused his interest.

The invitation letter was sent to him by Sotheby's auction house. If it weren't for this invitation letter, Lei Tiantang would have almost forgotten that he was going to auction two works of art at their auction house. Spending 400 million RMB to spend!

It is true that too many things have happened during this time, and although these two jadeite works of art are very valuable in the eyes of ordinary people, they are no longer in his eyes, so Lei Tiantang almost put this one. Forgetting the matter, he was very interested in opening the auction album that was sent with the invitation.

The album is thick and full of exquisite patterns and introductions. Lei Tiantang is interested in looking at them one by one. There are ancient Chinese paintings, porcelain, works of art, as well as modern paintings, various gems, Antique watches and the like, as long as they are valuable, they are auctioned.

Lei Tiantang also plans to take a few pieces of art to decorate the office above his private laboratory. He will work there most of the time in the future, and the office also needs to be decorated. So he asked Jiang Yuting to confirm by phone that he would go.

On April 18, Lei Tiantang's private plane landed at the airport in Xiangjiang, because Sotheby's Spring Auction took place in Xiangjiang. At that time, although Lei Tiantang's jadeite was collected by people from the Beijing branch, it was of such high value. Of course, the auction item still has to be on a big stage to get a good price!

The hotel's special car was already waiting for them outside the airport. After receiving Lei Tiantang and Jiang Yuting, the car slowly entered the traffic and drove towards the hotel. Because Lei Tiantang was going to stay here for a few days, Jiang Yuting reserved a presidential suite for him. Originally, she was going to live in a business suite, but she waved her hand at the Tongtian Tower and decided to book a business suite. The boss is poor. Do you have any travel expenses? Just let her open a presidential suite next to him.

They are also lucky, otherwise the presidential suite might not be available during this period of time. After all, Sotheby's Spring Auction attracts a large number of top rich people to participate every year. The two rooms were both refunded by others because of something, otherwise it would be nice to live in a business suite, and he is not the only rich person.

For the next two days, Lei Tiantang and Lei Tiantang will visit the preview of Sotheby's every day. After watching it for two days, Lei Tiantang also had a few goals. There were two ancient paintings, an antique porcelain vase, and several very good modern paintings. Lei Tiantang planned to take them all and bring them back. I've read so many books recently, and I'm considered a literate person. I still need some high-end artworks in my office.

The first auction that started on the evening of April 21 was modern painting and calligraphy. Several fine modern paintings that Lei Tiantang liked were auctioned tonight, so he also brought Jiang Yuting to participate.

A deputy manager of Sotheby's warmly received him. Lei Tiantang was very popular some time ago. For Sotheby's, Lei Tiantang is now a very rich client. If a top auction house even has this information If he didn't know, he would have closed down long ago, so of course he should be entertained, and he was very politely led to the private room,

Then they left after serving snacks such as tea and fruit. Lei Tiantang admired the arrangement of others. He really felt that the customer came first. Of course, in order to obtain such a service, you must first have money! And you have to be rich!

Not long after, on the auction podium in the hall, the manager of the auction house said a welcome message, and then the auctioneer came up with white gloves, and the auction officially started with his announcement.

The first painting is the painting of a certain abstract art master. The name Lei Tiantang does not want to remember anyway, because he is not interested in such paintings at all, and he cannot appreciate the style of painting. It may be that he has no artistic skills. Well, anyway, Lei Tiantang can't understand what those messy lines and colors mean. In his opinion, it is on the same level as children's graffiti. Of course, this is just his personal opinion.

There are many people at the scene who are bound to win this painting. Generally, when the auction house chooses the first lot, it will choose some heavyweight ones, which can enhance the atmosphere of the auction, so this painting is obviously auctioned. OK.

This is also true at the scene. The bidding price is one after another. From the starting price of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, it has reached 8.6 million in a short time. At this time, there are still 3 people bidding against each other. Of course, they are all foreigners. Lei Tiantang is right. Their aesthetics are also speechless, and they are too far away from the world of art!

In the end, this painting actually broke the 10 million mark! The transaction price reached 10.8 million Hong Kong dollars. Lei Tiantang had to wonder if he was a rich man. Even a painting he could not understand could sell for such a high price. These rich people have such a high artistic taste. high?

The next few paintings have also been sold. As expected of a white-glove auctioneer, the level of arousing the atmosphere of the scene is really top-notch. Any painting to him is very collectible, and it is estimated that it will increase in value in a long time. Anyway, Lei Tiantang saw that those who participated in the auction were still very impressed. This can be seen from the fact that an impressionist oil painting with a starting price of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars was fired to 3.6 million.

The seventh auction item finally came to the painting that Lei Tiantang was concerned about. It was a work of Hamid Savkuyev, a Russian contemporary realist oil painting master. Lei Tiantang liked this painting very much. An old man took it. He paints flowers on his sheep with a brush. The work perfectly integrates realism and classicism. The pictures with mysterious atmosphere are unique, pure and simple. The richness of picture elements, the allegorical nature of the content, and the originality of the painting language all give people a strong visual impact.
