mutual benefit [gl]

Seeing that there were several auctions over, it was still not the turn of the three paintings.

Just when Ji Cixi felt a little bored and started to yawn, she suddenly heard Chen Yuanzhen whisper, "Here we are."

Ji Cixi raised her head in a hurry, only to find that the three paintings that Chen Yuanzhen sent for auction turned out to be a group, and the starting price of this group of works of art was 270 million US dollars, and the superimposed amount of placards set for the first time was 27% of the reserve price. That's $[-].

Before Ji Cixi finished reading the introduction of this group of paintings on the big screen, someone was the first to raise a placard.

Ji Cixi looked at Chen Yuanzhen subconsciously, but saw her expression was calm and not panicked.

The prices of these three paintings are not considered cheap in the art market, which shows their value.

However, Chen Yuanshuo's mother and son sold such a valuable thing as soon as they said they would sell it.

Ji Cixi couldn't help but gasped.

Is the courage of the Chen family inherited from the family?

However, before she could think about it for long, after a few rounds of raising cards, the number jumping on the screen had changed from 270 million US dollars to 350 million US dollars.

At this time, the auctioneer also adjusted the superimposed amount to 30 US dollars.

Before the auctioneer could finish his words, someone in the audience raised their cards again.

"No. 550 One."

When Ji Cixi heard the auctioneer call out the other party's number, he couldn't help casting his gaze over it.

From the beginning of the auction, the No. 550 No. [-] was clinging to this group of lots.

"380 one." The numbers on the big screen jumped again. If the commission paid to the auction house is included, the price of this group of lots has already exceeded the 400 million dollar mark.

And if converted into the local currency, the price is as high as 2000 million or close to 3000 million. Even if there are three paintings, one painting is worth 1000 million, which is really not a small number.

It seems that the other party is bound to win this group of paintings.

However, at this moment, Ji Cixi suddenly felt Chen Yuanzhen beside him move.

She turned to look at her, but before she could react, Chen Yuanzhen actually held up the number card.

She actually participated in the auction!

However, that's not enough, Chen Yuanzhen gestured a number with his hands while raising his placard.

The auctioneer on the stage had very keen eyesight, and immediately announced the bidding price loudly.

"410 five!"

At this time, Ji Cixi was stunned by Chen Yuanzhen's actions.

Is this woman crazy? !Not only participate in the auction, but also increase the price by yourself? !

At the same time, the audience became silent.

Although these three paintings are from famous artists, the $410 million is really not a small sum, and there are many follow-up auctions.

Ji Cixi looked around and found that many people started whispering, as if they were considering whether to follow.

Ji Cixi bit her lip and looked at Chen Yuanzhen, only to find that the corners of Chen Yuanzhen's mouth were slightly hooked, apparently not worried that the painting she sent would fall into her hands again.

"I said you..." Ji Cixi finally couldn't hold back her complaints.

"You...have your brain burned out by the warm air? 410 million? Thanks to you..."

However, before Ji Cixi finished speaking, a bidding card was suddenly held up high in the audience.

"No. 550!"

As the auctioneer's voice fell, the numbers that had stagnated on the big screen jumped happily again.

"440 five!"

At this moment, Ji Cixi only felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, this feeling was even more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

She heard Chen Yuanzhen beside her snort coldly, and made a gesture to raise the placard again.

This time Ji Cixi moved very quickly, she pressed Chen Yuanzhen's hand, lowered her voice and said angrily:

"Isn't it enough to go crazy once?!"

Chen Yuanzhen was taken aback for a moment, she felt a thin layer of sweat on Ji Cixi's hands, obviously caused by nervousness.

"800 million paintings received, plus commissions. I only got back a few million now, don't you think it's too boring?" Chen Yuanzhen asked with a smile.

"Do you really think of it as a gamble?! Aren't you afraid that you will lose everything in the end?!"

"Don't worry..." Chen Yuanzhen gently pushed Ji Cixi's hand away, she held up the number plate, and finally participated in the bidding again.

"470 five!" The auctioneer reported the bidding amount again.

"You!" Ji Cixi was so angry that she didn't know what to say, she could only hold her forehead and bow her head in silence.

Seeing that the auction is about to enter the countdown, the 550 No. [-] just now seems to be hesitant.Although her head was lowered, Ji Cixi still looked around nervously, but seeing that the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, no one in the venue moved anymore.

It’s over.

These two words suddenly appeared in Ji Cixi's mind.

This guy Chen Yuanzhen is really unreliable in his work... Although he didn't spend his own money, Ji Cixi, who has always been used to saving, still felt a pain in his flesh.

However, just when everyone thought it was time to drop the hammer to make a final decision, someone in the venue finally raised the number plate again.

"No. 550!" The auctioneer once again loudly announced the number with a poker face.

But this time, the 550 No. [-] seemed eager to end the battle, so he not only raised the sign, but also offered a price.

520 million.

If the commission is included, it is more than 3000 million.

Finally, Ji Cixi saw a satisfied smile on Chen Yuanzhen's face.

In the end, the auctioneer dropped the gavel, announcing the deal.

Ji Cixi finally let go of her hanging heart, and let out a deep breath of relief.

Looking at Chen Yuanzhen at the side, she was wriggling her fingers, twisting her waist that was slightly stiff from sitting for a long time, and muttering:

"I haven't even reached half the profit... Bai Fei has come so far..."

Ji Cixi swore that if there was no one else around, she would definitely beat Chen Yuanzhen hard.

It's just that she was also wondering, where did Chen Yuanzhen get the confidence that the other party would definitely take these three paintings?

Just as she was about to ask, the auction of the next set of lots had already started, the auctioneer's magnetic voice interrupted Ji Cixi's question abruptly.

This time the auction item is a hanging scroll on paper made by a famous artist in the 60s - "Portrait of a Mentor", so named because the main body of the scroll is the painter's teacher.Whether it is the author or the old man in the content, this painting is a famous modern painter, so the starting price is very eye-catching among the many ink and paper auctions today.

Perhaps it is because the reserve price of this work is not cheap among similar works, but it is considered a small shrimp among the tens of millions of millions of auctions just now, so it was quickly speculated from the reserve price of 20 US dollars. To [-] US dollars.

Chen Yuanzhen's thoughts were over, and he was completely watching from the sidelines at this time, and didn't care about it at all.

Perhaps in her head at this time, she is more concerned about what to eat tonight.

But at this moment, she saw Ji Cixi pick up the number plate.

"21!" The auctioneer immediately reported the number.

Chen Yuanzhen looked at Ji Cixi in surprise, but saw that Ji Cixi was very calm, and the tension just now was completely swept away.

In the end, this pair of ink painting scrolls was sold at Ji Cixi's price of 21 US dollars.

Ji Cixi leaned on the back of the chair, and continued to watch the auction continue with a blank expression.

"You... Where did you get the money?" Chen Yuanzhen asked a little strangely.

Ji Cixi didn't look at her, but took out the bank card she gave from her pocket and waved it at her.

"Could it be that you..." Chen Yuanzhen suddenly realized and raised his hand to point at her.

"It's what you said. Don't take it lightly or take it seriously."

Ji Cixi's calm eyes still only stared at the stage.

"I'm not even interested in jewelry, leather bags and clothing. I might as well buy a painting and keep it at home. Maybe it will increase in value."

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with saying this, Chen Yuanzhen opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

"I heard that this auction house doesn't accept bank cards. I'll trouble the God of Wealth to cash a check."

Finally, Ji Cixi looked at Chen Yuanzhen, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

The author has something to say: This is the last update that was delayed due to other things. Thank you, little angels, for your kindness orz
