Strong and powerful
Chapter 45 In Support of the Arts
Yezhou holds a grand auction every year. As the richest man in Yezhou, the Jiang family is naturally the key invitee.
The auction will always last for three days, the first day is mainly art auction.
Jiang Yan took Zhuo Ping out of the car, and when she walked to the entrance of the auction house, she ran into Li Yurou and Ruan Mengfei.
Jiang Yan knew that she would meet Li Yurou here, but she didn't expect to run into her so soon. Jiang Yan wanted to walk past her, but she didn't expect Li Yurou to greet her first.
"Hi Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang also came to see the art auction, do you understand?" Li Yurou looked at Jiang Yan contemptuously.
Jiang Yan looked up at Li Yurou, and returned her a contemptuous smile.
"I'm not here today to engage in art. I'm here to buy things. I don't have anything else. I have plenty of money."
"Sure enough, having money is a great thing. It's not like Meng Fei. Her work is going to be auctioned today." When Li Yurou spoke, she couldn't hide her pride.
Although Ruan Mengfei pulled Li Yurou's sleeve and shook her head towards Li Yurou, she was not as humble as she showed.
"What are you afraid of? Your work must be the highest bid in the audience. It's not like some dandy rich second generation who only know how to spend money, but don't know how to make money."
Li Yurou taunted Jiang Yan harshly.
Seeing Li Yurou's domineering look, Jiang Yan frowned slightly. She didn't know where she had offended Li Yurou. When she saw Jiang Yan, Li Yurou couldn't help but mock her.
"That's really amazing." Jiang Yan clapped her hands expressionlessly and praised.
"Have you seen this list? The top three works in the bidding will be displayed here, and Meng Fei's works will definitely be on the highest position." Li Yurou said.
Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows. She didn't know what Li Yurou said had anything to do with her. The money she earned didn't matter to her, not to mention that she wasn't short of it.
"Then you have high expectations of her." Jiang Yan said lightly.
After hearing Jiang Yan's words, Li Yurou's eyes almost popped out, and she gritted her teeth and looked at Jiang Yan.
"Yurou, don't say that, Senior Li's work will also be auctioned today, first of all, I will definitely not be able to match it."
Jiang Yan grinned and pulled out a perfunctory smile. She didn't expect these two to be so confident in Ruan Mengfei's works.
Jiang Yan glanced at the two people pushing back and forth, then turned and walked into the auction hall.
The auction started soon, and the previous writers were all unknown works, so the auction went on very quickly.
Zhuo Ping walked in from outside the auction house and sat beside Jiang Yan.
"I found out that Ruan Mengfei's work will be exhibited at the fourth from last." Zhuo Ping said.
"This is too coincidental. It seems that Ruan Mengfei is destined to miss that leaderboard today."
Jiang Yan continued to look at the auction, and soon came to Ruan Mengfei's work. The work Ruan Mengfei put up for auction was a post-modern oil painting, and the starting price was [-].
The bidding price continued to rise, and soon it reached 100 million. After 100 million, no one in the entire auction room began to raise their placards.
"The auction price of this work is now 100 million. Is there anyone else who wants to buy it?" the auction host then asked.
There was no one at the scene to raise their placards to bid, and this was only 100 million yuan, and even three of the previous auctioned works had already exceeded this price.
"100 million for the first time."
Jiang Yan's eyes fell on Li Yurou, she seemed to have a plan in mind.
"100 million for the second time!" The host shouted again.
This time it took a little longer, when the host was about to hammer, the assistant next to Li Yurou raised the number plate in his hand.
"President Li of Yarun Group, what's your quotation?" the host asked.
All eyes were on Li Yurou. Li Yurou's assistant turned to look at Li Yurou, and then called out the price.
"1000 million!"
For a moment, there was a sound of gasping in the auction hall. Ruan Mengfei was not well-known, and it was a bit of a disadvantage to spend 1000 million to buy such a painting.
"I'm sorry, can you say it again?" The host on the stage thought he had heard it wrong.
"1000 million!" Li Yurou's assistant re-quoted the price.
"1000 million, this seems to be the first time I've seen such a high bidding price since hosting this auction. Mr. Li really has a vision." The host praised.
Li Yurou smiled and said in the audience: "I also want to support art. I appreciate Meng Fei's painting very much. The true value of this painting will definitely be discovered in the future."
"Our President Li really has a discerning eye." The host said.
Jiang Yan sneered, she didn't expect Li Yurou to be so shameless and personally raise the price for Ruan Mengfei.
Li Yurou's price of 1000 million was already a sky-high price for an unknown author. The host quickly yelled it three times before hitting the hammer.
Li Yurou looked determined to win.
The two authors behind Ruan Mengfei are not well-known, and only the works of Li Qitao, a senior in the art circle, may exceed this price, so Ruan Mengfei's works will also be ranked second, and Ruan Mengfei will be on the list no matter what.
The next work was brought up soon, but this one was worse than Ruan Mengfei's, and no one raised the price when it reached 50.
Zhuo Ping glanced back at Jiang Yan, who nodded.
"50 for the second time, is there anyone else to offer?"
Zhuo Ping raised the sign in his hand.
"How much does Mr. Jiang pay?"
"2000."
After Zhuo Ping's words came out, the whole audience erupted.
Li Yurou looked at Jiang Yan sharply, but Jiang Yan pretended not to see it.
In the end, Jiang Yan bid the last three works at prices of 2000 million, 3000 million and 4000 million respectively.
When she came out of the bidding room, Jiang Yan deliberately slowed down, and happened to meet Ruan Mengfei and Li Yurou at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Ruan Mengfei saw that Jiang Yan's face turned green, and knew that Jiang Yan photographed the next three works just to humiliate her.
The people in the auction house moved quickly, and the top three works in the bidding had already been placed on the list. Jiang Yan looked at the three works above.
"It's a pity, Miss Ruan's work is only a little bit worse."
Jiang Yan didn't want to make fun of Ruan Mengfei, as if she was petty.
"Are you so interesting? Spending so much money just to argue with me?" Li Yurou stared at Jiang Yan and said.
"Who said I was just trying to argue with you?" Jiang Yan snorted coldly, "I think I think too highly of myself."
Li Yurou's gaze at Jiang Yan became sharper, her chest heaved violently, and she stared at Jiang Yan with rounded eyes.
"I'm also here to support the arts."
The auction will always last for three days, the first day is mainly art auction.
Jiang Yan took Zhuo Ping out of the car, and when she walked to the entrance of the auction house, she ran into Li Yurou and Ruan Mengfei.
Jiang Yan knew that she would meet Li Yurou here, but she didn't expect to run into her so soon. Jiang Yan wanted to walk past her, but she didn't expect Li Yurou to greet her first.
