1835 The auction begins
Levin Huke was dumbfounded. He had forgotten about this for a moment.
“Then, Mr. Levin Huke, I’ll take my leave first.” Kmaxi turned around and left.
Then, Levin Huke also took a few quick steps and held kmaxi’s hand when kmaxi was about to verify the invitation.
Every invitation could be accompanied by a family member, so the security personnel who verified the invitation looked at the two old men who were more than a hundred years old in total and looked away without asking anything.
“Playing so ruthlessly?” Kemasi did not expose him and only asked.
“Crow taught me this.” Levin Huke replied indifferently.
Kemash’s face was filled with doubt.
“In order to eat Yuan’s delicacies, Wu would throw all kinds of tantrums and roll around, not caring about his image. I ask Wu, is it worth it for a meal?” “Crow didn’t give me an answer,” Levan said.”But Zheng told me that it wasn’t a meal. It was something Crow liked.”
“Wu likes delicious food. For the things that he likes, he can do anything. So, for the paintings that I like, this is very normal.” Lewen Huke said.
In fact, Levin Huke had misunderstood this point. Wu Hai didn’t like delicacies. He just purely liked the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou.
The guests invited to the auction entered the venue one after another. Zhou Xi also entered.
There were a few other people following behind him. They were the young painters who had attended the opening ceremony of Wu Hai’s painting God’s house, led by bai na and Feng ti.
“You actually made it in time, it really wasn’t easy.” Bai na didn’t have a good expression when he saw Feng ti.
When the two of them were discussing the symbolic meaning of the monster eating picture, they didn’t have the same point of view and argued for a long time. Now, even looking at Feng TI’s face made them feel unhappy.
“Shouldn’t you be in China?” Bai na was a little curious.
Previously, in order to get close to Wu Hai and pretend to know nothing, Feng ti had described Yuan Zhou as a niche artist and was despised by him.
In the end, after learning that Yuan Zhou was a culinary genius that could be compared with Wu Hai and was also the artist that Wu Hai admired the most, Feng ti went to the restaurant to have a meal after the opening ceremony of the painting God’s cottage.
The moment they started eating, they were completely conquered by Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills. Then, while eating the delicacies, they went to the painting God’s cottage to study Wu Hai’s paintings. Their days were simply too free and unfettered.
Of course, he had to thank Wu Yungui’s business sense for developing many high-end apartments, which provided convenience to people like Feng ti.
“I had dinner before I left.” Feng ti was very proud.
Previously, the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou were also very amazing for bai na. However, due to some matters in China, he had to fly back to France in advance. Therefore, Feng ti had attracted a lot of hatred.
Bai na glared at him, but seeing that the auction was about to begin, he could only give up.
Zhou Xi recognized bai na and Feng ti, but he didn’t greet them, because he felt that these two foreigners were a little abnormal. They actually wanted to surpass Wu Hai.
“No matter what kind of young artist they are, they are all conquered by boss Yuan’s culinary skills.” Zhou Xi thought to himself, they don’t have any self-awareness at all. Look at dashi xiujie, sucha and the others. They respect boss Yuan so much. All they think about is to get boss Yuan to take them as his apprentices.
Zhou Xi felt that bai na and Feng ti should treat eaves Wu like this.
There were only 10 auction items in Christie’s auction this time. One of them was Yuan Zhou’s sculpture of 108 eight generals and Wu Hai’s Chinese characters on Water Margin. The two items were to be auctioned together.
The rest were all pieces of jewelry. Whether it was the workmanship or the historical significance, they were all quite significant.
Both of their works were placed at the end. Ten items were not many, and although everyone was bidding very enthusiastically, the auction ended very quickly.
“Next up is Wu Hai’s painting, huazhang and water Margin, which is the hope of the European painting world and also known as Huaxia’s eave. And the sculpture of the most talented chef in Asia, 108 generals of Water Margin. The base price is 10 million euros. Please start bidding.” The emcee introduced them briefly through the microphone, then gestured for the service staff to bring up the paintings and statues.
Then, a huge painting was reflected in people’s eyes. There were mountains, rivers, and people. There were 108 people in different forms. Some were fighting in pairs, some were facing two armies, and some were alone. No matter what the situation was, none of the 100 people in the painting had the same expression, and no one’s actions overlapped.
Why did he only see the painting? because the statue was placed on the stage, he couldn’t see it at all.
“If the price is right, you can buy Wu’s paintings. Their value has risen very quickly in the past two years.” A merchant calculated.
“Yes, artist Wu’s works are very popular in the European and American markets, and the quality is also very guaranteed. But why is he selling it together with the chef’s sculptures?” Another collector replied.
“There aren’t many sculptures circulating in the collection market, but there are some fine works. Mesina’s work from the 1950s was sold for more than ten million dollars in Sotheby ‘s.” The merchant said. He was very familiar with this place.
“The Christie’s auction house would not make such an obvious mistake by auctioning something worthless. It’s written in the information that crow’s sculpture was drawn according to this sculpture, so it should be a gift.” The collector guessed.
“There was very little information about Mr. Yuan in the information that the auction house sent me. So, it should be an attached work.” The merchant nodded in agreement.
As a matter of fact, Christie’s auction house was also quite helpless. When they received the gifts, they gave a very high evaluation to both the painting and the statue after the evaluation of two appraisers. Therefore, there was little information about Yuan Zhou in the information. It wasn’t that the people of the auction house looked down on him.
Yuan Zhou really didn’t have much information on the arts. The only thing he had written about was the ice sculpture. As for the others, he really didn’t know anything about them.
He couldn’t just write what cuisines he was good at, right? it was also very difficult to do it in the auction house. In the end, he just wrote it like this. Anyway, it was fine as long as the item was good.
For the collectors and the art world, Wu Hai’s reputation was very well-known. As the businessman had said, the market was very optimistic and there was still a chance for him to rise.
Therefore, most people had the same judgment as the collector, thinking that the sculpture was an additional auction item. Although this was rare, it was not impossible.
Of course, no one came out to question the auction house. Those who were present had identification and brains, so they would not do such a thing.
“These people actually think that Yuan’s statue is a bonus auction.” Bai na and Feng ti saw everyone’s reaction, and suddenly felt like everyone was drunk, but only he was awake.
Although the two of them had never seen Yuan Zhou’s sculpture before, how could Yuan Zhou’s work, which had been so highly praised by Wu Hai and even turned into an art, be included in the auction?
At the very least, there was not much of a difference in their standards.
The host introduced the background of the two works. For example, the legend of the water Bank was one of the four famous works in China. Although the material of the statue was an ingredient, it had been specially processed.
It was also at this moment that those interested in this auction item left their seats and went up to the stage to watch.
Such auctions were open to the public. After all, tens of millions of euros were not a small amount of money. They could only say that they could not bid for it, but they could not ignore it.
[ps: this is the third watch cat!]
