Seeing that He Shen was so confident, and at the same time, with the permission of the owner of the work, plus the expectations of the bidders present, the old appraiser was finally moved. He took a scalpel from his assistant's hand and carefully began to dissect it.
He was a master after all. Throughout the entire dissection process, the old appraiser was very careful and tried his best to ensure that the surface of the original work was intact.
The entire auction hall was so quiet because of the old appraiser's patient dissection that you could hear a pin drop!
At the same time, in Hua Nan City's Four Seas Antique City, the teacup in Qin Si Hai's hand trembled slightly.
At this time, no one knew what Qin Si Hai was thinking in his heart!
If there really was a hidden layer under that piece of calligraphy, and it was an extremely precious work, the entire Hua Nan City would probably treat Qin Si Hai as a real fool, right?
Even his Four Seas Antique City would become the laughing stock of Hua Nan City!
The people in front of Tian Hong Building who were waiting to see Chen Qiang make a fool of himself held their breaths and watched the old appraiser's every move on the big screen!
After about half an hour, the old appraiser finally stopped and peeled off Liu Yong's calligraphy piece.
The crowd still didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief as they watched the old appraiser peel off a yellowed piece of Sheng Xuan from the framed scroll!
Just as the old master was about to uncover half of the Sheng Xuan, the old master's hand stopped!
"This is — —"
The old appraiser's voice suddenly rang in the hall!
The crowd could already tell from the old appraiser's excited tone that something was wrong!
Unfortunately, they couldn't see the real situation of the work on the auction stage from where they were standing. If it weren't for the security guards around, someone would have rushed up to the stage to see what was going on!
Looking at the old appraiser's rapid breathing, the crowd was really afraid that the old man would pass out from being too excited!
Finally, the old appraiser slowly peeled off the blank piece of Sheng Xuan and blurted out excitedly, "This is the masterpiece of the famous painter Li Cheng from the early Song Dynasty — Zhong Luan Chun Xiao painting!"
After saying that, under the old appraiser's signal, the female auctioneer revealed the full appearance of the painting, which was slightly yellowed, to everyone present!
Wow — —
This unexpected scene finally caused the crowd to boil over!
It was a painting from the early Song Dynasty, and it was the work of the famous painter Li Cheng!
There were only three of Li Cheng's works left in the world, and they were all kept in the world's three major museums!
To think that such a precious treasure would appear among the common folk!
Obviously, the old appraiser who had just given the appraisal conclusion still hadn't recovered from his emotions.
While the female auctioneer was showing her work, the old master explained, "Li Cheng was a famous painter in the early Song Dynasty. His works are rare, and this painting is from the Five Dynasties before the Song Dynasty was established!
His work had its own style. The light ink was like a dreamy mist, and the stones were like moving clouds. These characteristics were vividly reflected in this painting!
It's hard to imagine that such a precious painting from more than a thousand years ago would be preserved in such a way! "
The old appraiser's explanation was much more convincing than the female auctioneer's feeble promotion. Immediately, people began to bid!
"Mr. Number Five bids 11 million!"
"Mr. Number 13 is outstanding at 15 million!"
Soon, the female auctioneer didn't even have time to promote the painting, and the bidding was endless!
In the end, after a fierce bidding war, this thousand-year-old painting was bought by a mysterious off-site bidder through a phone call, for a price of two hundred and twenty million!
Around the big screen in front of the Tianhong Building in Hua Nan City, hundreds of people quietly watched the auction of Chen Qiang's painting. No one made a sound for a long time!
This was too shocking!
That guy named Chen Qiang was too lucky, wasn't he?
Not only did he find a rich wife and marry into the Fu family, but he also bought a piece of calligraphy and sold it for more than 200 million!
It was unknown what kind of mentality these people had, but they were actually looking forward to seeing others make a fool of themselves!
Perhaps, they were the real joke?!
No!
They weren't qualified!
The real joke should be Qin Sihai!
That old guy Qin Sihai, who owned the influential Antique City and guarded a treasure worth more than 200 million, didn't recognize it. Not to mention that it was bought by Chen Qiang, this old guy actually spent money to set up such a big screen in front of the Tianhong Building. He actually wanted to see Chen Qiang make a fool of himself?
This was really funny!
Now that the painting was sold at a sky-high price, Qin Sihai was probably angered to death, right?
Even if he wasn't angered to death, he would be drowned by the ridicule of the entire Hua Nan City!
Damn Qin Sihai, it's fine that he's an idiot, but why did he set up such a big screen for us to be idiots too?
Fatty Li, who was at the entrance of the building, was also dumbfounded!
However, after a moment, Fatty Li screamed and scrambled into the building's elevator, rushing straight to the top floor!
"Hey! Section Chief Li, is the CEO's office a place for you to barge into? " Hong Xiaomei, who had just come out of the office, saw that Fatty Li was panting and trying to rush into Qian Yan's office. She quickly stopped him and shouted.
"You get out of my way!" Fatty Li didn't know where his courage came from at this time. He pushed the company's senior executive, the CEO's assistant, Hong Xiaomei, and rushed into the office.
In the office, Qian Yan was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed listlessly. When he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and his face suddenly sank.
"Section Chief Li, what are you doing here?"
Indeed, for an employee of Fatty Li's level, without permission, it was impossible to go to the top floor casually.
Qian Yan frowned and snorted, "Slow down, what happened?"
These days, Qian Yan had received all bad news. How could there be any good news?
Therefore, she didn't have any expectations for Fatty Li's performance.
Fatty Li gasped for a while, then he finally straightened up and shouted, "President Fu, it's really a good news!
Just now, below, on the big screen, Director Chen appeared! "
"Nonsense!" When Qian Yan heard this, he almost fainted from anger.
That screen was used by Qin Sihai to stimulate and humiliate her, but Fatty Li mentioned it again at this moment. How could she not be angry?
"No!" Fatty Li waved his hand and said, "I mean, Director Chen just sold a painting at the auction and sold it at a high price of 220 million!"
