Chapter 58
The atmosphere was enlivened with passion, and everyone applauded fiercely.

Zhao Kuo squinted in Lin Feng's direction, as if he suddenly remembered something.

A sinister smile slowly surfaced on his wrinkled face.

"it is good!"

"Now our Appreciation Charity Auction officially begins!"

"The first item is the reserve price provided by our Ms. Chen"

"the second one"

"Third item"

One piece of hidden treasures takes turns, and occasionally one or two pieces will cause fierce competition and bidding among the guests present.

"It's so boring. I don't like anything this year. It doesn't feel good at all."

Shen Yuhan yawned and couldn't help complaining.

Lin Feng was often invited to this kind of exhibition in his previous life, and he has quite a lot of experience. He comforted him: "Everything is good in the first session, adding tension and excitement. After the fame and success of the previous year, the second session will be this year. One session, including future ones, will be a bit boring in the early stage.”

"Okay!" The host cleared his throat and said calmly, "The five rounds of collections are over, and the first part of our exhibition has also come to an end."

"The next step! It's just the beginning——the exciting part!"

The sonorous and powerful voice reverberated throughout the audience, and the host continued to introduce: "Everyone knows that this year we have come to the exhibition site with many well-known masters and experts!"

The warm applause sounded again.

"In the next session, we will scroll on the big screen and randomly select a guest to introduce our views or feelings on the collections on display. This guest may be a master who has been in the industry for many years, or he may just enter Xiaobai in the circle."

Many newcomers present were so nervous that their hearts were beating wildly. The Shenghui Exhibition attracted millions of people to pay attention. If they were drawn to perform well, then it would not be a problem to become famous. In the future, whether it is appraising treasures for others or selling collections , there will be more opportunities.

But if something goes wrong
Then it is very likely to become the biggest joke in the industry and the deepest failure in life.

"The exciting moment is coming soon, now let's count down and see who is the lucky guest?"

"10, 9, 8"

"3, 2, 1!"

"Let's applaud—!"

"Guest No. [-]——Zhao Kuo!"

The host opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "I read it right?! The first person to go to battle is our Master Zhao!"

Zhao Kuo stood up with a smile and greeted everyone, looking very kind.

"It's really a surprise! Let's welcome Master Zhao Kuo and Zhao Kuo to give us a big round of applause!"

The host took the lead in applauding, and the atmosphere on the scene was more than twice as active as before.

Zhao Kuo walked onto the auction stage calmly.With a smile on his face, even a little bit of anticipation.

Lin Feng, can you withstand today's move?

The camera shot went from Zhao Kuo's seat to the front of the stage.Zhao Kuo and Hua Lao, two giants in the industry, appeared on the screen, coupled with the influence of the call for this exhibition, the ratings immediately increased greatly.

Shen Yuhan frowned slightly, "He was the first one, so there must be some inside story?"

Lin Feng didn't know what he was thinking, and kept silent all the time.

"The collection in front of me is a very precious imperial calligraphy and painting."

The camera followed Zhao Kuo's finger on the calligraphy and painting.

"This is a silk book painted by Emperor Jiaqing, which can be clearly seen from the upper and lower jade seals."

"Let's take a closer look at what Emperor Jiaqing wrote,"

The camera screen was pulled closer by Zhao Kuo's gesture, "The font is vigorous and powerful, but it is soft and gentle." Peace of mind.’”

"Ms. Zhao said it very well, let us guess together."

The host interacted with the audience, Zhao Kuo also faced the guests, but his eyes were directed at where Lin Feng was sitting, "What is the reserve price offered by the seller for this painting?"

The audience answered enthusiastically, Zhao Kuo squinted and smiled inscrutably: "I guess, one hundred thousand."

"Okay! Master Zhao has already given the answer, one hundred thousand, is it accurate? Let us find out next!"

Lin Feng naturally watched the development of the situation casually, as if something suddenly occurred to his mind, the corner of his mouth curled slightly.

The host slowly pulls down the price tag cloth from right to left, one 0, two 0s, three 0s
really!

One hundred thousand!

Zhao Kuo had a confident smile on his face.Everything seemed to be under his control.

The guests in the audience are very fond of this style of pie.

"The master is indeed a master, even the valuation is the same."

"Indeed, if you ask me to express my opinion, the most I can say is: this is a calligraphy and painting. I can't hold back anything else."

Zhao Kuo put on airs, approached the calligraphy and painting and continued: "This silk scroll is a bright yellow library scroll, and it is stored in the 'Living Painting Boat' in Yuanmingyuan."

"Yuanmingyuan is certainly no stranger to everyone. It is a royal garden well-known in both China and the West. It consists of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden, and Yichun Garden. "Living Painting Boat" is in the "Bieyoudongtian" among the forty sceneries of Yuanmingyuan. Bieyoudongtian is on the southeast side of Fuhai, is A small garden surrounded by earth and hills covers an area of ​​about 1.7 square meters."

"Because of the 'Yaxiuxiqing' here, it was named 'Xiuqing Village' during the Yongzheng period. 'Dongtian' is a name for the dwelling place of immortals, which means that there is a unique world in the cave, and often refers to scenic spots. There are ten caves, The legend of 36 small caves and 72 blessed places."

When Zhao Kuo said this, he paused for a moment, and there was thunderous applause from the audience.

When it comes to everything, including the numbers, they are all very clear, so that the guests and online audience who did not know him before immediately added a layer of senior and solid academic filter to Zhao Kuo, and even more admiration.

Zhao Kuo's eyes glanced at Lin Feng again intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Feng's posture was relaxed, his expression was natural, and he calmly responded to Zhao Kuo's seemingly vague contempt and inexplicable cunning in every glance of Zhao Kuo's eyes.

"Even Qianlong once wrote the words 'living painting boat' - 'the spring breeze and autumn moon have real interest, and the waves and smoke have no definite direction', so it can be seen that this calligraphy and painting is extremely valuable for collection."

"However, it's only worth [-] yuan. Why?"

Seizing the opportunity to ask rhetorically, the rhythm of the entire scene is under his control.

After silently waiting for a while for the discussion of the guests, Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Because——this is not a complete work."

"After the British and French allied forces invaded China and burned the Old Summer Palace, the 'living painting boat' disappeared. This calligraphy and painting cannot be avoided. The black charcoal part that was burnt at the front end has been processed by the predecessors, so what we see is only being destroyed. The second half of the framed part. The value is naturally greatly reduced."

Finish the prepared last sentence in one breath.The introduction of this work ends here.

The audience applauded for a long time.
