At this point in the auction, Ding Mao didn't even realize that he was already a little irrational, and he didn't even realize that if he started like this in both auctions, the funds might not be enough to support him.

At this time, more than 400 million yuan had been spent on the calligraphy and paintings. Ding Mao finally realized the happiness of rich people. This was really exciting, but it also cost a lot of money!

After Ding Mao took three more Huang Binhong seal script couplets and six landscape paintings, Ding Xian, who had always been very supportive of Ding Mao, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Mao, if something doesn't work, just put it away! If this continues, our money may not be enough!"

Ding Mao just woke up from a dream, but there were so many things that he never dared to think about in his previous life. If he missed it, he would probably be unable to sleep at night.

"Dad, please calculate the price and I will try to control the cost. If it really can't be done, then I will have to give up!"

Huang Binhong (January 1865, 1 - March 27, 1955), originally named Maozhi, later changed his name to Zhi, courtesy name Pucun, nickname Binhong, and alias Yuxiang. He was originally from Huizhou and was born in Jinhua. He was a modern Chinese painter. .

He is good at landscape painting and is a master of landscape painting. He is also highly accomplished in calligraphy. Together with Bai Jiao, Gao Ershi and Li Zhimin, he is known as one of the "Four Great Literary Calligraphers of the 20th Century".

In the history of modern painting, there is the saying of "Southern Huang and Northern Qi". "Northern Qi" refers to Qi Baishi, and "Southern Huang" refers to Huang Binhong.

It's not that Ding Xian wants to stop it, but it's that Ding Mao's bidding is really fierce. These Huang Binhong's works alone cost more than 200 million. If this continues, the money in their hands will not be enough to survive.

At this time, Ding Mao was really itching. Because he had not done his homework in advance, he had not yet taken photos of his favorite things, and he had spent more than one-third of his money.

So, he, who never liked to actively promote his own goods, finally couldn't resist the temptation and made a decision!

He remembered that Kang Jinlong once said that he wanted to buy his set of furniture, but Ding Mao was not sure whether he could accept the price.

Ding Mao knew that the price of his entire set of furniture would definitely exceed 3000 million if placed in more than ten years. Specifically, it should be between 5000 million and [-] million. This is why Mr. Liu asked him to make an offer, but he did not. s reason.

At this time, the highest price is only 3000 to [-] million. Although it is not as good as the whole set sold by one family, it can be collected with patience, so Ding Mao really doesn't know whether he should make this call!

At this time, Kang Jinlong was actually not having an easy time, because he was being scolded by Mr. Meng.

"I thought you were doing things safely and told you to give him more financial support, but you only bought two things and only provided more than 1000 million in funds?"

Mr. Meng's face was obviously displeased, and he sighed leisurely!

"The reason why I let you go is not only to get back this part, but also because he has reached a critical period of accumulating funds. In the antique shop, 1000 million is enough to buy a few good calligraphy and paintings! You can't imagine it! He doesn't have anything on hand. If it’s less, I don’t believe there’s nothing suitable to provide him with reasonable funds!”

"He had a set of huanghuali furniture, and he seemed to think that the price was quite high. At that time, because the car we took there couldn't pull it, he didn't buy it, but I did let it go and said that I wanted to buy it. How about I Contact him now to buy it?"

"Then why are you still hanging around? Why don't you call immediately! Remember, the fate of our family is closely related to his, and his growth will be good for you and me!"

"I know Mr. Meng, I'll contact him now!"

And Ding Mao hesitated for a while and decided to contact him and try his best to get it. If the price was not suitable, he would still keep it for himself. If it could be more than 8000 million, then there was no harm in selling it. The part he lost would be in this auction. Things will naturally be found.

Thinking of this, he quickly said to Li Mingliang beside him: "Two, please help me keep an eye on it for a while. I'll go out and make a phone call. During my absence, as long as the works of those people I took before appear again, you will help me first." I’ll increase the price to take the photo!”

"Okay, go ahead and leave this to me first!"

When Ding Mao just walked out of the banquet hall and took out his mobile phone and was about to dial, Kang Jinlong called. Ding Mao couldn't help but sigh, what a coincidence that the sparrow got home through the window!

"Hello, Mr. Kang, I don't know why you are calling me right now?"

Since it was the other party who called first, Ding Mao was not in a hurry to mention the sale of goods first. If the other party had a better deal, he would not be reluctant to give up!

"Hello, little brother Ding! When I came back from you last time, I kept thinking about your set of huanghuali furniture, which kept me awake at night! Can you bear the pain and give it to me?"

As he came here just for his own set of furniture, Ding Mao felt a little confident, so he acted a little embarrassed!

"Mr. Kang, you also know that I am very fond of that set of furniture. Although the Huali furniture in my heart is not too difficult for you to get, after all, this is a complete set from one family, and it is different from those pieced together. There is a fundamental difference in what comes out, and at the current market price, I would definitely be reluctant to sell it!"

Kang Jinlong's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone.

"Hahaha, Brother Ding, as long as you are willing to sell it to me, it will be fine. You are willing to spend tens of millions on a sports car, so why not buy a set of furniture you like? As you said, such a complete set is very valuable. The price A higher price is reasonable, I'm too lazy to put things together to cause trouble for myself, and I may not necessarily like it if I put it together, but your set can make my heart flutter at the moment, so just tell me the price!"

"Mr. Kang, you also heard me briefly analyze the future market price of this set of furniture that day. It is estimated that the value of this set of furniture will exceed 20 million in ten years, and it may be even higher in 30 or [-] years, so the price is really high in my mind. It’s about [-] million, if it’s lower, I’m going to keep it for myself and wait for it to appreciate in value!”

"Well, I understand, let's do this, brother, I won't make it difficult for you, I will give you 2000 million, 2000 million is to buy your set of furniture, and the 1000 million is the deposit for you to receive the Bagua pattern parts in the future. If Within ten years, after you receive the Bagua pattern parts, you will still have to pay the price of 2000 million per piece to offset the deposit. If you cannot receive it, based on the market price of this set of furniture ten years later, you will not be able to make up for the excess, but of course you will not be able to make up for the excess. Just refund the maximum [-] million!"

Ding Mao was confused after hearing this, and even more confused. What kind of operation is this? This is the first time he has encountered such a transaction method. What if the price of this set of furniture has not reached the price in ten years but he has no money?

This forced him to think cautiously for a while, but no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a pit and a thunder!And ten years later, not to mention 2000 million, he can also get [-] million. After all, there are already products suitable for sale during this period!

So I couldn't figure it out, so I just stopped thinking about it and said, "Okay, I'm in Beijing now, and I need some funds now. Can you give me part of it in advance? As for the set of furniture, I'll contact my family immediately. Delivered to you!"

"No problem, wherever you are now, I will find someone to contact you immediately, and the money will be transferred directly to you!"

After Ding Mao informed him of his heart's position, he returned to the auction hall. Now he could take the item back with peace of mind!

"How about Brother Liang, did you take a few more pictures?"

"Well, I took eight paintings by Qi Baishi, totaling about 155 million. You just happened to be back. Now the price of this piece is a bit high. You can make the decision for yourself!"

Ding Mao nodded and looked over and realized that no wonder the price was so high. This was the pinnacle creation of Qi Baishi's ten thousand years period, so the price could not be low.

Knowing the reason, Ding Mao took action without hesitation and bought it at a price of 55.5. Most of the other pieces that appeared immediately were also taken by him, and the one or two pieces that were not taken were also because of his own My level is not good enough, and I have so many good works at this time that I don’t care about the gain or loss of one or two pieces.

"Xiao Mao, did we take too many pictures? Do we have enough money?"

Ding Xian became worried again at this time. After all, there were still two days of auction!

If it weren't for Kang Jinlong's timely transaction, it would probably not be enough this time. Even if he controlled the shooting, he would probably be back before liberation, so Ding Mao was really grateful to him.

"Don't worry, Dad, someone will come over to handle the transfer for us later, so I have to trouble you to follow along."

"Xiao Mao, we just have to do what we can. Money can't be earned in a day. Don't borrow money in a hurry!"

"What are you thinking about, dad? Is your son such an unconventional person? I sold something again, and they are here to pay for it!"

After hearing what his son said, Ding Xiancai finally felt relieved.

Although there will be many similar opportunities in the future, the price of art collections changes every year, and even the second auction a few days apart will change. Therefore, Ding Mao really does not want to give up this opportunity, and he will pay as much as he can. As for the future, It depends on the situation, but this time he wants to go crazy!

Next up is Wu Changshuo's vertical scroll and color on paper paintings. There is no doubt that Ding Mao will take action again.

Wu Changshuo (August 1844, 8 - November 1, 1927), originally named Jun, also known as Junqing, also named Changshuo, also signed Cangshi, Cangshi, had many nicknames, the common ones are Cangshuo and Laocang , Laofou, Kutie, Dade, Fou Taoist, Shi Zunzhe, etc.

Together with Li Liangyu and Zhao Zhiqian, he was known as the three representatives of the "New Zhejiang School". Together with Ren Bonian, Pu Hua, and Xu Gu, he was also known as the "late Qing Dynasty School". "Four Famous Masters of Shanghai School".

He is known as "No. 1 in stone drum seal script" and "the last peak of literati painting".And many celebrities speak highly of it.

Two paintings in a row are his works, and Ding Mao bought them for about 21 and 18 respectively.

At this time, Ding Mao was already thinking about whether he would open an exhibition hall or something since he had photographed so many celebrity calligraphy and paintings.
