Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

In the next auction, Xia Yu finally participated.

He photographed two things, a Maitreya Buddha pendant carved from top-quality suet jade. It was a masterpiece by Lu Zigang, a master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty. It cost him HK$520,000.

The other is a painting called "Phoenix Flute", which was made by Zhang Daqian in 1955. Although Daqian is still alive and living in Taiwan Province, it still fetched a high price of one million yuan.

But Xia Yu felt it was worth it, because in later generations, this "Phoenix Flute" could rank in the top ten of Zhang Daqian's auctioned calligraphy and painting prices. After the death of the later Daqian layman, the prices of his works skyrocketed. The Fengxiao Picture is worth at least 50 to 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

One of the reasons why I can get it so low now is that the Hong Kong economy is still in the early stage of its rise, and money is too valuable.

Another most important reason is that Zhang Daqian is still alive.

Everyone knows that the painter's paintings will only soar after the painter's death. If the painter is still alive, no one dares to raise the price, especially when he encounters a high-yield painter like Daqianjiushi, who is also the first master of counterfeiting. Before his death, who had the courage to fire up the price of his paintings and calligraphy?

It is precisely because of this reason that the top ten painting and calligraphy of Daqian Jushi, "Phoenix Flute", was auctioned by Xia Yu for one million Hong Kong dollars.

Although the current one million Hong Kong dollars to buy a house in Xiangjiang can be sold for ten or twenty million in future generations, it is still not as good as the appreciation of this painting. It can be said that Xia Yu made a lot of money.

In the end, the charity auction raised nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars in donations, which made Chen Deliang, chairman of the Hong Kong Charity Federation, unable to hide the smile on his face, and expressed his gratitude to the people present.

Then, Xia Yu, He Youguang, and He Chaoqiong, the two brothers and sisters, went to collect the collections they had auctioned, paid the money on the spot by swiping their cards, and then signed to take them away.

In addition to He Chaoqiong's "Mandarin Duck Lotus", He Youguang also photographed an ancient famous painting, which cost him 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, a price that would not lose his father's face as a gambling king.

Holding the collection, Xia Yu and He Youguang walked outside together.

As soon as he arrived at the parking lot, He Youguang looked at his watch and found that the time was still early.

At this time, the bright moon was hanging high, and it was not too late. He thought about it and stopped Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, it is still early. I don't know if I have the honor to invite you for a cup of coffee. I want to ask you for advice."

He Chaoqiong's eyes lit up after hearing He Youguang's words.

She looked at Xia Yu pretty lively, with some anticipation on her face.

Glancing across the faces of He Youguang and He Chaoqiong, Xia Yu smiled and said, "My pleasure!"

Seeing Xia Yu agree, He Youguang and He Chaoqiong both smiled.

"Xia Sheng, I remember that there is a very high-end cafe with a very elegant environment. Let's go to that cafe, which is just not far from here."

He Youguang introduced.

"Oh? Then I'm going to experience it, please!"

Xia Yu showed interest at the right time, said and made a gesture of please.

Then, He Youguang, He Chaoqiong, the two siblings, and Xia Yu got into their respective cars.

He Youguang's car took the lead, Yan Shining followed, and the two cars drove out of the parking lot of Sotheby's auction house.

Soon, the car stopped at a cafe with a very atmospheric decoration. After getting off the car, Xia Yu followed He Youguang into the cafe.

As soon as he entered, Xia Yu found that there was something special, all kinds of decorations were very exquisite, and there was a soothing piano music in the cafe. The visual and auditory enjoyment made Xia Yu feel relaxed for a moment.

After finding a private room, the three of Xia Yu sat down and ordered a cup of coffee each, and the waiter presented it soon after.

Taking a sip of the coffee, Xia Yu praised: "The taste is very good, and the environment is also very good, He Sheng, you are very good at finding a place!"

Hearing Xia Yu's praise, although He Youguang knew that Xia Yu's words were flattering, he still couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, Xia Sheng, I only discovered it by accident. To be honest, this is my third time here. Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you, otherwise I would be embarrassed."

He Youguang said jokingly, trying to get closer.

Seeing her brother chatting with Xia Yu, He Chaoqiong couldn't help it, and said, "Brother, you and Xia Yu both call each other Mr., it feels awkward."

Hearing He Chaoqiong's words, Xia Yu and He Youguang looked at each other in astonishment, and then laughed at the same time.

"Chaoqiong is right, we should be friends, call my name Youguang."

"Youguang, you can also call me Xia Yu."

Xia Yu also said with a smile.

"Okay, Xia Yu!"

Seeing this, He Chaoqiong showed a happy smile on her face.

"Xia Yu..."

Then, He Youguang began to chat with Xia Yu and asked for some things.

The things He Youguang asked were not very private matters. Xia Yu knew everything and answered them, and occasionally even explained the confusion to He Youguang, which made He Youguang nodded again and again.

He Chaoqiong, on the other hand, quietly drank coffee and listened to the sidelines, his eyes constantly wandering on Xia Yu and He Youguang.

It's just because He Youguang asked and Xia Yu was talking most of the time, so He Chaoqiong's eyes stayed on Xia Yu most of the time.

Seeing the handsome and handsome Xia Yu talking with a confident smile, as if there was nothing he didn't know, He Chaoqiong's eyes on Xia Yu changed unknowingly.

Before he knew it, the coffee had bottomed out, Xia Yu picked up the cup to take a sip, but found that the cup was empty.

This situation was discovered by He Chaoqiong for the first time. She called the waiter directly and served Xia Yu a cup of coffee again.

"thanks!"

Xia Yu said to He Chaoqiong with a smile.

"You're welcome." He Chaoqiong smiled sweetly.

At this time, He Chaoqiong picked up the painting on the stool next to it and handed it to Xia Yu. With some anticipation, he said, "Xia Yu, show you my painting."

"Okay!" Xia Yu took it with a smile.

It's a pity that I don't wear gloves, and it is easy to cause some damage to the painting.

But Xia Yu knew that these words were not suitable to say. He Chaoqiong, a little girl, didn't understand this, and he didn't need to talk too much.

Then, Xia Yu slowly opened the painting.

He Youguang and He Chaoqiong also looked over and appreciated it.

In the middle of the appreciation, Xia Yu sighed from time to time. Many of those big guys like to collect them, so they still have the ability to identify antique paintings and calligraphy. Therefore, Xia Yu also has a high level of appreciation.

Listening to Xia Yu's explanation, the two brothers and sisters He Chaoqiong and He Youguang nodded from time to time, showing a look of surprise.

"Okay, put it away, take it home and find a place to hang it, but remember to hang it in a dry and ventilated place."

Xia Yu carefully closed the painting, returned it to He Chaoqiong, and warned with a smile.

"En!"

He Chaoqiong nodded her head and answered, her mouth opened, she didn't know what to say, but she didn't say anything.

"What's the matter, Chaoqiong, what do you want to say?"

He Youguang asked.

"I... I just wanted to say, look at what Xia Yu bought."

He Chaoqiong was at a loss for words, then thought of something and said quickly.

"Okay, just in time for everyone to enjoy it together."

Xia Yu said with a smile, and then took the lead in opening the "Phoenix Flute" by Zhang Daqian.

"This painting is so beautiful, who is the woman in the painting?"

Looking at the colorful painting, He Chaoqiong pointed to the woman in the painting and asked, He Youguang also showed curiosity.

Xia Yu smiled lightly and explained, "This painting is actually a drawing of an ancient folklore by the master Daqian based on his own understanding."

"It is said that Nongyu, the daughter of Duke Mu of Qin, is not only like a flower like jade, but is also good at blowing the sheng. She has a melody of its own, and her voice is like a phoenix. One night, Nongyu was blowing the sheng on the "Fenglou". The harmony came, and the lingering sound was wonderful, like a gossamer. After that, Nongyu didn't think about it. Qin Mu Gong sent someone to find this young man, Xiao Shi, and Nongyu's illness was cured without treatment. Since then, Nongyu has been in Phoenix every day. Lou and the boy played the sheng and flute together, and the couple responded. One night, the two of them were playing together under the bright moonlight, when suddenly a dragon and a phoenix flew in response, so Xiao Shi rode the red dragon, and the jade rode the purple phoenix, both flying in the clouds. go."

"So the woman in this painting is Nongyu, the daughter of Duke Mu of Qin."

"Wow, I didn't expect this kind of story in a painting. It's amazing. Where did Nongyu and Xiao Shifei go? They must be very happy, right?"

He Chaoqiong showed a look of amazement, and there was some longing in his eyes, as if he was fascinated by the legendary love story of Nongyu and Xiao Shi.

Looking at the little star in He Chaoqiong's eyes, Xia Yu and He Youguang looked at each other and laughed silently. Sure enough, a girl is a girl.

After appreciating it again, Xia Yu put together "Fengxiao Tu".
