Chapter 1546
400 million, such a transaction price is nothing in the entire auction history, and it is not even the highest price in the auction history of Jingwei Auction House, but it still made everyone at the scene hold their breath.

It's money, it's ¥, it's not waste paper, it's not Zimbabwean. With such a [-] million, in any country in the world, you can live like a rich man for a lifetime, bring the whole family with you, and even put The money is deposited in the bank, and the interest alone can make the family live comfortably.

Even Xu Jingxing, who doesn't value money very much, was also amazed.

Of course, what he was amazed at was that the people who spent this money were just stupid.

The painting by Qi Baishi is real, and it is indeed Qi Baishi's shrimp. It is very valuable, but in his opinion, it is definitely not worth more than [-] million. First, the size of the painting is too small, only one and a half feet; The painting should be the work of Qi Baishi in the early stage of the change of painting style. The shrimp painting is still a little jerky, with a bit of craftsmanship unique to Qi Baishi's early works, and it is not on the same level as the shrimp after the painter became a master.

If he was asked to bid, it would be about 5000 to [-] million.

But if someone is willing to spend so much money, he will definitely not talk too much, not to mention that this is his family's company, he is stupid to go out and talk nonsense.

He has an impression of this painting. According to Ye Qing, it was collected by the company at a price of 6000 yuan in the early days of its establishment. It has been kept in the warehouse for so many years. If this auction is not for the importance, it will definitely not be like this Take it out early.

That is to say, the cost of this painting is only 6000 yuan, and the maintenance cost of more than ten years, calculated to be 10 yuan.

In this way, the net profit of this painting is [-] times.

If only the acquisition cost is counted, it would be a thousand times.

It is estimated that except for some criminal means, such huge profits are definitely among the best in legitimate industries.

Of course, such good things don't happen every year, one counts as one, and one slap can count them clearly.

But even this one thing is enough to amaze everyone in the industry, even a veteran international auction house like Sotheby's might be envious.

So when eating at noon, Lao Yang never stopped talking, talking non-stop about the painting and the mysterious buyer who made an offer over the phone, and finally added: "Little Xu Zi , your experience is really similar to Qi Baishi's, they both started out as carpenters, they were poor at the beginning, they both changed their careers later, and they both became famous after doing it."

"...Can it be the same?"

"Why is it different? Do you dare to say that you are not a carpenter?"

"Yes……"

"Is it very poor at the beginning?"

"Yes……"

"Did it change later?"

"That's right."

"Did you become famous and gain both fame and fortune after changing careers?"

"There's nothing wrong with saying that."

"Look, isn't that right?" Comrade Lao Yang clapped his hands triumphantly, "But if you say I have a good eye, I still have a better eye. I still remember the morning when I met you, and you also entered Changle Road , I knew that you kid must not be an ordinary person, hehehe, as expected, in just a few years, you have become such an awesome person, and I have followed suit, what kind of thing is this strange?"

Zhou Rui rolled her eyes at the side: "It's a rare commodity to live in."

"Yes, yes, anyway, since I met you, even my luck has improved. I have found such a smart wife at such an age."

Xu Jingxing didn't even want to pay attention to this guy anymore, he didn't have a word to tell him what to say.

But there is some truth to the truth. If it weren't for him, Lao Yang might have been a second-class dealer who set up a street stall on Changle Road in his life. In his life, he may never have the chance to live in the State Guesthouse for so long, let alone participate in auctions of this level, or even meet Zhou Rui at all.

Just thinking about it this way, it's really hard to say whether Lao Yang's fate has changed for the better or worse.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it may indeed have changed for the better, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be the case.

Especially thinking of Yangliu, Xu Jingxing felt a little unnatural.

Because to a certain extent, he is the chief culprit who broke up Yang Liu's family, and after Lao Yang's divorce, he always got along with Lao Yang as before, and gave Lao Yang a lot of support. very sad.

But what can he do?

Right?

Although Yang Liu never blamed him, it is very likely that he didn't think about it at all. After all, this matter is Lao Yang's own problem and cannot be blamed on others.

But destiny is such a magical thing, it often changes inadvertently.

So sometimes I really don't admit that there is indeed a "destiny", because many things really can't be interpreted with reason or science when analyzing after the event, and can only be attributed to "destiny is so" ".

After dinner, the auction continued.

This day's auction time was a little longer, and it didn't end until almost seven o'clock in the evening. Xu Jingxing was watching on the spot, and after silently calculating today's total turnover, he was also very happy, because at the end of the day, the total turnover It directly broke through one billion, reaching an astonishing 14 billion, of course not counting a fraction. At an auction of this level, an eight-figure transaction volume can only be counted as a fraction.

At the end of the two days, 22 billion in cash was directly raked in, excluding costs and various expenses, a net profit...

Well, he can't calculate the net profit, this is the company's confidential information, except for Ye Qing and Liao Liao, no one else knows it, even the finances may not be very clear.

Anyway, he only knows that Jingwei Auction has made a name for itself.

In addition, he reckoned that today's turnover is so high, the special VIP card he sent out yesterday also has a lot of impetus.

He obviously noticed that many local tyrants are much more interested than yesterday, and they have a feeling that they are spending money on purpose. They often compete with each other on some auction items that have clearly exceeded the market price by a lot. Those who don't know think they are It's all enemies and enemies.

And this also brought him an extra income. You must know that he provided at least ten items in today's auction, and there may even be more, but he really can't remember, because he gave Ye Qing There were too many high-quality antiques delivered, many of which he didn't even have time to look at, but was dragged away by Ye Qinghua just after hastily sucking up the spiritual energy inside.

Most of the antiques he provided were high-quality antiques. In the warehouse of Jingwei Auction Company, they were all of the upper-middle class. The market price was not low. If these rich people competed, the transaction price would naturally rise.

According to his estimation, among the 500 billion turnover today, his lots offered at least [-] million, with an average price of [-] million.

It seems that the proportion is not important, but you have to think about the weight of this New Year's Day shoot.

And not only today, but also the objects he delivered will be shot tomorrow, which is the real highlight.

So Ye Qing was happy, he was even happier.

What Ye Qing is happy about is the astonishing turnover, but what he is happy about is the unexpected income.

As for money, the more the better, especially this kind of money earned through legitimate means, no matter how you spend it, you feel comfortable.

So when he hurriedly engraved the membership number of the local tycoon who spent less than [-] million yuan a day, he took Lao Yang and his wife back to the courtyard for barbecue.

Barbecue is of course only interesting if you do it yourself, and you just start it directly in the courtyard.

Baking food in the yard in winter has a special taste. After baking, take it to the house and eat it. There is a hot pot in the house. As for the ingredients, it is even simpler. A phone call and someone will deliver the food directly to your door. Top notch ingredients.

But if you eat barbecue, even the top ingredients have the same taste, but the taste is not the same.

For example, the tuna shipped over by air that day cost as little as 2000 yuan a catty. It was specially made for sashimi in boutiques, but it was no different from ordinary beef when it arrived at his place. "The oily flowers are splashing and fragrant.

No way, these people in the yard don't like sashimi very much.

But don’t say it, tuna is also quite delicious. Cut into thin slices that are one finger thick and burn them on an iron plate for eight to ten seconds, then turn them over and cook them again. It is fragrant and tender, and it has a special texture when chewed. In addition, the slightly twitching taste of the fish fillets under the boiling heat can make people swallow their tongues.

Fifty catties of tuna meat were snatched up by more than a dozen people, almost all of which were eaten hot on an iron plate.

A group of women, big and small, are eating hot tuna around the iron plate in the winter of around minus ten degrees. That scene is really interesting.

In particular, his sister was on a live broadcast, doing this under the watchful eyes of millions of viewers, not to mention eating more.

In addition to tuna, there is also the legendary Wagyu.

To be honest, Xu Jingxing really doesn't think how delicious this famous wagyu beef is. Apart from being fresh, the taste is the same. There is a lot of fat. Although the fat distribution is quite even, it is indeed a bit greasy after eating too much. It must be roasted thoroughly. Just force all the oil and water out of it.

So he thinks that this thing is actually prepared for Westerners who like to eat medium-cooked beef. If the medium-cooked beef has evenly distributed fat, it will taste very tender, and it looks very beautiful, and the visual effect is very good. The photos that come out are more beautiful, but it is really not suitable for eating more, just three or five mouthfuls, and any more will really make you tired.

The Chinese people are different. The Chinese people have too many ways to cook the beef to achieve that tender taste. In this case, for most meat-eating gourmets, the less fat the better.

Of course, there is a reason why it is expensive. Under the same cooking environment, the taste of wagyu beef is indeed different.

It's just that their way of eating made those viewers in his sister's live broadcast room call it a waste of money.
