"So it's a painting... Let me see how this painting would be as the opening piece for the auction..."An old man said, putting on his glasses.The opening piece of an auction usually shouldn't be a top-tier collection, nor should it be something completely worthless. It should be something in the middle, not necessarily top-tier, but still recognized, and ideally with symbolic ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) meaning.All three of them shared this thought. They didn't expect Little Friend Su, a young man, to bring any top-tier collectibles. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten in through Old Wang's connections after one item was withdrawn from the auction.The other two old men also slowly put on their glasses and looked over, taking their time."Hmm, I can tell it's a genuine painting with just one glance. Let me take a closer look..."As soon as one old man put on his glasses, he immediately saw the Tang Bohu seal, and his eyes widened instantly!"It's actually a genuine work from Tang Bohu's peak period!"One old man never expected that what was brought this time was a genuine work by Tang Bohu!Although Sotheby's Auction and the other two auctions are both top-tier auction houses, Sotheby's collection primarily consists of porcelain. Paintings like this are very rare, especially genuine works by Tang Bohu!"How is it? Can a painting from the peak period of the great scholar of Jiangnan, Tang Bohu, serve as the opening piece for this auction?" Old Wang stroked his beard and said proudly, as if the painting were his own."This... it can, but such a piece shouldn't be the opening item. It should be auctioned as the finale..."The three old men were all a bit embarrassed. They had been in the business for so many years, and the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover' had been said countless times, yet today they had misjudged...The three of them used professional equipment to carefully examine the painting for a full hour before reluctantly stopping."Wonderful! Wonderful, it truly is a genuine work by Tang Bohu. This style is unique and cannot be replicated by others!""I truly didn't expect Little Friend Su, at such a young age, to possess such a treasure!""However, I, an old man, have a question. This masterpiece by Tang Bohu should be a family heirloom of Little Friend Su. Why not keep it as a family treasure?""Although selling it this time would bring in a large sum of money, it would also mean losing something that could be passed down through generations!"One old man was very puzzled. If it were his treasure, he would certainly keep it permanently instead of putting it up for auction.Either this young man doesn't understand art, or he is in urgent need of money."This painting isn't a family heirloom, so there's no question of passing it down. Besides, I'm not particularly interested in these ancient paintings. It's more practical to exchange them for money." Su Yun drank a cup of Longjing tea, feeling very content."Oh, I see. Little Friend Su is quite insightful, which is very rare...""However, since this painting isn't a family heirloom, may I ask how much Little Friend Su spent to acquire it? And from which collector did you obtain it? Does that collector have any similar ancient paintings?""Hahahaha, I'm just asking, Little Friend Su. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say anything..."One old man was very curious about the origin of the painting. If a collector sells this painting, they will certainly sell a second one, and he also wants to collect one... A first-hand source is naturally much cheaper than an auction, and it's worth it even if it means using some connections..."Hehe... You guys are just looking down on Little Friend Su because he's young. You don't need to doubt the origin of this painting!""This painting was acquired by Little Friend Su through a lucky find..." Old Wang took a sip of tea and spoke softly, his tone very proud, as if he had made the lucky find himself..."So it was...""Huh?""A lucky find?" The mouths of the three old men instantly formed circles, and their eyes were filled with disbelief!To be able to find such a treasure through a lucky find in this day and age!How come... they never encounter such situations?You know, this is a genuine work by Tang Bohu. Now even such treasures can be found through lucky finds!The surprise in their eyes slowly turned into envy!This is a genuine, huge stroke of luck!What kind of luck does Little Friend Su have!And his discerning eye is probably also quite formidable!"It's really a lucky find?" The three old men still couldn't quite believe it, saying in unison.Old Wang saw their inexperienced expressions, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth, and then said, "Am I going to lie to you?""It's a lucky find, it's a lucky find!""You've been to the Antique City in Jiangcheng, right? Little Friend Su can find treasures there, even in that place full of junk, with just two or three glances!""Not to mention anything else, a pair of iron dog heads made of gold; Little Friend Su identified them with just one glance...""I can tell you this with certainty: although Little Friend Su is young, his discerning eye is truly exceptional, not a bit worse than mine!" Old Wang passionately introduced.Su Yun felt a bit embarrassed listening to Old Wang's praise. When it comes to antiques, he's just a novice, but if others knew about the things he's done, they would truly think he's a master!"Old Wang, you flatter me. I'm just lucky. If you all were there, would it still be my turn to make a lucky find?" Su Yun said modestly."That's not right. Luck is also part of strength. Even if we old men were on site, we probably wouldn't think there would be anything there. That's why our luck is bad, and Little Friend Su, your luck is good.""Also, I, an old man, would like to ask one more thing: how much did Little Friend Su spend to acquire this genuine work by Tang Bohu through a lucky find?" An old man asked with great interest.Upon hearing this, Su Yun thought carefully. He had spent over twenty million yuan on buying a house, but that house was indeed worth the price. As for this painting... it seemed he hadn't spent a single cent..."Hmm... Strictly speaking, I didn't spend a single cent on this painting. I bought something else, and it was included as a free gift..." Su Yun said lightly, as if showing off."Pfft..." Old Wang heard this, his pupils widened in shock, and he spat out a mouthful of tea...
