In a certain studio, a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s is carving a marble sculpture. It was only half-carved, but it was obvious from the carved-out shape that it was a horse, with a graceful shape and smooth lines, it looked as if it was about to run.
“Teacher, there is big news.” A young man suddenly ran over while speaking.
“What’s wrong?” The middle-aged man asked without looking back, he was still looking at his statue without caring about anything else.
“Teacher, look.” The young man handed the mobile phone in his hand to the middle-aged man, it was the Fong Lam Court stone sculpture photo.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before a shocked expression appeared on his face. This middle-aged man is named Jiang Zixia, he is a well-known Carving Grandmaster in China.
He is even more famous than Tao Qinzhu, and he is best at marble stone carving. Naturally, his vision for marble stone carving is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
He zoomed in on the picture and stared at it for a long time, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.
“Where did this picture come from?” Jiang Zixia asked with an excited expression on his face.
“Fong Lam Court, it is one of the Cultural Parks in Zhongyun City,” The young man said.
“Let’s go there right now.” Jiang Zixia immediately threw away the tools in his hands and prepare to rush toward the Fong Lam Court without stopping.
At the same time, there are many netizens who saw the news and saw pictures on the Internet, and they also rushed towards the Fong Lam Court to see this extremely beautiful sculpture.
In addition to Tao Qinzhu and Jiang Zixia, many professionals also came to the Fong Lam Court to see this. After they arrived, they managed to squeeze into the front to see the sculpture they wished to see.
The real scene was naturally even more shocking. They were so shocked that they wanted to swim across the pool and go to the front.
In fact, if Director Wang hadn’t beefed up the security and sent many people to watch over it, someone might have actually done that.
“Good heavens, what master did this?” Jiang Zixia was shocked when he saw this sculpture.
“Hey, Mr. Jiang, you are also here. Why are you asking that? I thought it was your work and believed that you have made a major breakthrough?” Tao Qinzhu spoke standing quite close to Jiang Zixia.
“Master Old Tao, you’re also here, how could this be my work, I’m not even worthy to carry the shoes of the Master who made it.” Jiang Zixia shook his head and said.
“Then whose work is this?” Another old man standing next to him asked.
“I don’t know, but it’s almost certain that Su Jing knows that Grandmaster.” Tao Qinzhu paused for a while and continued to explain, “You may remember that the Galactic Auction House sold a lifelike sculpture not long ago. That one was provided by Su Jing, and this one is also put here by Su Jing. I think Su Jing knows a reclusive hermit.”
“That’s a possibility.” Everyone nodded, feeling that this guess is as close to the truth as it would get.
There were also many collectors present here, and they also came here because of the reputation of this sculpture, and their hearts were already moved after seeing this statue.
They become even more excited when they saw experts like Tao Qinzhu and Jiang Zixia here.
They wanted to buy this sculpture, but they did not have Su Jing’s contact information, so they went to Director Wang one after another and offered their price. This shocked Director Wang and he immediately called Su Jing.
“In my arms, in your eyes, where the spring breeze is intoxicated, where the green grass is green…” Su Jing was at home doing absolutely nothing when his phone rang and he couldn’t help smiling when he saw that it was Director Wang’s call, and answered immediately.
“Mr. Su, someone bid 8 Million Yuan for the sculpture, do you want to come here to meet him?” Director Wang excitedly asked.
“I told you to not waste my time at such a low price.” Su Jing said.
“8 Million Yuan is still lower?” Director Wang was dumbfounded.
“Too low.” Su Jing said.
Director Wang had no choice but to reject the person, and after a while, Director Wang called again: “Mr. Su, someone has bid 10 Million Yuan, and another bid 13 Million Yuan, I was just considering whether to call you or not but someone else offered 20 Million Yuan at that time.”
“Too low.”
“Mr. Su, I don’t think you have heard me, I said 20 Million Yuan.”
“I heard it clearly, it is still too low.”
“…” Director Wang was stunned. What the f*ck. 20 Million Yuan was still too low, and he didn’t even care about it. How hoity-toity is this?
Director Wang almost scared himself to death thinking about the fact that he almost sold this sculpture for 20,000 Yuan at the beginning. This gap is too big. Director Wang stabilized his heart before he asked, “How much would it cost to sell it?”
“Actually, that sculpture was placed there to decorate the Fong Lam Court and for everyone to enjoy. They are not really for sale. However, if someone really bids more than 200 Million Yuan for it then and only then can you contact me. If it is less than 200 million yuan then ignore it.” Su Jing said.
Director Wang was dumbfounded, 200 Million Yuan?
The news that the statue had invited a round of competitions ween big wigs and the price raised to $20 million caused an even bigger stir.
Alan and Anna, who were still in contact with the American museum to discuss how to further increase the price according to the situation, were stunned silly by this piece of news and the American side was also worried.
They couldn’t stand it any longer and suddenly raised the price to 50 million yuan and this news created a new pandemonium on the Internet.
