Chapter 10 Auction

Author: Cat Entropy

Professor Zhang stood up slowly, first bowed to the host, then waved to everyone, and handed over the microphone at the right time.

"I am very honored to appreciate so many great masterpieces with you. It is also thanks to everyone's love that my work can be auctioned."

"For this auction, all proceeds from the auction of my work will be donated to the China Youth Development Foundation."

After finishing speaking, the moment Professor Zhang returned the microphone, there was another round of thunderous applause, and everyone had a bright smile on their face.

The auctioneer stood on the stage and bowed to Professor Zhang solemnly, "Give love and gain hope. I thank Professor Zhang on behalf of the children!"

After accepting the bow, Professor Zhang slowly sat down, smiled and nodded to the auctioneer, and the auction continued.

"Next, let us all appreciate this work from Professor Zhang Yiqing - "Lushan Gold Painted Lacquer Plate". This work was created by Professor Zhang when he attended a lacquer art seminar in Lushan, Jiangxi in the autumn of 2019.

This work was created with the rendering of beautiful scenery.”

Following the auctioneer's introduction, the works were put on the big screen, and the real objects followed the steps of the etiquette lady and came to everyone.

"This lacquer plate is entirely made of black lacquer as a background. The surface of the plate is embellished with mother-of-pearl. The autumn landscape and forest lines of Mount Lu are outlined with gold, and then filled with mother-of-pearl. Although the whole work is a realistic landscape, it is

And because of the mother-of-pearl inlay, the brilliant colors make the whole work full of the beauty of light art."

The work was placed on a brocade plate made of velvet. As the hostess showed it, it was finally placed on a display cabinet about one meter away from the auctioneer. A circle of small ambient lights was added around it, and the base began to rotate, following the different lights.

Refracted, the lacquer plate blooms with wonderful colors.

""Lushan Gold Painted Lacquer Plate", the bidding for this work starts at 1,112,000 yuan!" As the auction hammer sounded, the auction of this work officially started.

The auctioneer started bidding, "One hundred, one hundred and twenty thousand!"

"This "Lushan Gold Painted Lacquer Plate" from the leader of the lacquer art world, Professor Zhang Yiqing, is really a rare item~"

"One hundred, one hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Has it reached 1,118,000? One hundred, 11,80,000!"

"All proceeds from the auction of this work will be donated to the China Youth Foundation! Is there anything higher?"

"One hundred and twenty thousand! Is there any higher bid?"

"One hundred, twenty and twenty thousand!"

"One hundred, two hundred and fourty thousand!"

"One hundred, twenty, and ten thousand!"

"Telephone request: One hundred, twenty and eighty thousand!"

"Who wants to add it to one hundred and thirty thousand, one hundred and thirty thousand, one hundred and thirty thousand."

"One hundred, three hundred and twenty thousand!"

"One hundred and four hundred thousand!"

"Are there any higher bids?"

"One hundred and four hundred and twenty thousand!"

"Telephone commission: One hundred and four hundred and sixty thousand!"

"Do you want to increase it to one hundred and four hundred and eighty thousand?"

"Written entrustment: One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"One hundred and five hundred thousand once!"

"One hundred, five hundred thousand, twice!"

"Is there any price increase?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand for the last time!!!"

As the auctioneer's three gavels made the final decision, "Dong dong dong, the deal is done. Let us congratulate this collector!"

Six hours later, as the auction participants left, the lights in the venue began to go out, officially announcing the end of the Jiashili summer auction.

Some of the people who participated in the auction were overjoyed because they had photographed something they loved, some were cursed after receiving the item, and some were out-of-this-world experts who were fighting against injustice. In short, everyone had their own joys and sorrows.

"Then we will start packing this work?" The person who spoke was the after-sales staff of Jiashili Auction Company.

Professor Zhang reluctantly took one last look at the lacquer plate and finally signed his name and date on the seal.

After all, it was made by myself. According to Professor Zhang, every time he sells an additional work now that he is older, it is like selling a "child". I never felt this way when I was young, but now it really is

One less item is sold.

Ding Muqing supported the master's arm from behind, while Su Li and the Seventh Senior Brother followed behind, seemingly saying a silent farewell to the departure of this work.

The man wearing a mask watched the Suli group leave, but in his hand he was holding a package that was exactly the same as the "Lushan Gold-painted Lacquer Plate" that had just been packed.

"Master, I'm here to pick you up~" Yihui drove his own dung fork at the door of the winery. He was eager to say hello to everyone before the car stopped.

Su Li took a peek at the "distraught" master, then walked quickly to the front of Yihui's car, "Shush, second senior brother, master is not in a good mood."

This really confused Yihui. He had obviously received news that the master's work had fetched a good price of 1,500,000 yuan, so why was he still depressed at this moment?

"Didn't you say that the master's works have very good auction prices? Why are you still in a bad mood?"

"You know, it's more than just a work for the master. In the summer, the master likes to use it as a cucumber salad. Now the master doesn't even like the cucumber salad!" Su Li helplessly spread his hands towards Yihui.

Yihui had no choice but to shift into P gear and stop the car temporarily, "The plate that is not the master's cucumber salad is obviously the "Black Lacquer Plate with Gold Landscape Patterns". Did you remember it wrong?"

What the two of you are focusing on right now is which plate does the chef like to use for cucumber salad?

The master is obviously in a heavy mood, okay?

The seventh senior brother was standing aside, his eyes almost rolling out of his head.

He couldn't help but said: "Can you two calm down? Master is so uncomfortable and he is still bickering!"

"And Yihui, how do you look like the second senior brother? Master, you were absent from the auction today. I really admire you!"

Yihui originally wanted to explain the reason for his absence, but the senior brother looked back and smiled, and the scene that was originally full of "smoke" immediately cooled down, "Master said he would treat us to a goose stewed in an iron pot tonight."

When Yihui heard this, he felt like he could no longer hold the steering wheel in his hand, and his already big eyes opened even wider, "???"

The seventh senior brother's jaw almost dropped, "???"

Not to mention Su Li, who was full of doubts, "???"

The eldest brother was indeed a eldest brother, and he was still supporting Professor Zhang calmly. Professor Zhang, who originally looked sad, for some reason, now grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears.

"It's definitely a bit sad, but the 150,000 yuan auctioned will definitely help a lot of children. Thinking of this, I feel it's worth it. Of course, I want to celebrate, so the master treats you to a goose stewed in an iron pot!"

Professor Zhang has obviously completely come out of the gloomy mood before and is able to make some contributions to this society. He feels that it is best for his works to leave him in this way.
