"Isn't this antique a bit too expensive?" Jiang Lu couldn't help but comment.
"Some things are worth the price, while others are not. Of course, it also depends on the person. For me, I have no interest in this Blue and White Porcelain, but for some people, it's particularly appealing. Two hundred million is worth it to them," Jiang Chen replied with a slight smile.
"I think if a famous painting has been passed down for a thousand years, a few hundred million is still worth it," Jiang Lu said.
"If you like paintings, just buy whatever you see later; hanging them in your home would be nice," Jiang Chen chuckled.
"Hehe, I like Su Shi; I wonder if there are any of his paintings," Jiang Lu said with some anticipation.
As soon as Jiang Lu finished speaking, the auction for the second item began. The second item was indeed a painting, but it wasn't by Su Shi; it was an autumn landscape painted by the modern master Li Keran.
The starting bid for this piece was fifty million. Jiang Lu looked at the autumn landscape on the display screen with great interest.
"This painting is beautiful too. Brother, why don't we buy it?"
"If you like it, go ahead and buy it. It would look nice hanging in the living room," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
The Jiang Bao family and Zhou Rongli exchanged helpless smiles but said nothing. They thought that their adopted son was probably the richest person in Huaxia; even if a billionaire bought a master's artwork, they would keep it carefully stored away rather than display it in the hall. However, they also knew that their adopted son wasn't short on money anymore, so they let him do as he pleased—if he wanted to hang it in the living room, then let it be.
In the end, this autumn landscape was purchased by Jiang Chen for ninety-five million.
Next, two more paintings were auctioned off. One was Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and rock painting, and the other was a pine and cypress painting by Bai Shi. The former went for fifty million while the latter sold for one hundred thirty million, both of which were bought by Jiang Chen.
The fifth auction item was a Tang Dynasty night-glow cup, claimed to have been used by Yang Guifei. Jiang Chen took a distant glance; while it was indeed an antique, it wasn't anything special—a cup used by an ancient person didn't pique his interest.
Jiang Lu also lost interest; she initially thought the night-glow cup looked beautiful but found that the actual item didn't match her expectations.
Half an hour later, seven or eight more items were auctioned off—mostly jade artifacts, jewelry, and gold and silver items—most of which were acquired by Yue Hui for a total of five hundred million.
This time, Zhu Xiangyue didn't come to "argue," allowing Yue Hui to smoothly acquire these jade antiques. Each of these jade antiques had significant backgrounds; for a jewelry company, possessing them would naturally be beneficial.
Moreover, among these jade antiques were a few that indeed contained faint traces of Spiritual Energy. In fact, one green jade bracelet was a genuine magical artifact; it seemed that someone with cultivation had arranged a formation within it to attract good fortune and ward off misfortune.
However, that was all; it was not enough to capture Jiang Chen's attention.
"The next item up for auction is a landscape painting. The author of this painting is unknown, but it is speculated to be from the Sui and Tang dynasties. This landscape painting is extraordinarily mysterious, concealing a shocking secret. Surely, someone present here must have some knowledge about this artwork," the auctioneer announced.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately became interested. He leaned closer to the glass, gazing at the auction stage. The glass in the private rooms had been specially treated, allowing those inside to see outside while preventing anyone outside from seeing in. This auction placed great emphasis on buyer privacy.
