This is the reserve price (seeing humanity)

Once upon a time, one person liked art works very much, especially the appreciation of paintings.
He worked hard to make money, desperately saving money, in order to buy more new paintings. There is a saying that "the sky is not worthy of the heart", and from decades, from Rembrandt, Picasso to other famous painters, he has everything.
He lost his wife in his early years, only one son. As the saying goes, there is a father who must have his son. His son was so depressed and fell in love with the collection. He was very pleased that the collection of paintings became a common hobby of their father and son.
One year, the country suddenly became involved in a war. Like many young people, the son went to the army to defend the country.
But not long after, the father received a letter saying: "We are sorry to inform you that the lang has sacrificed in the battle..."
The father suddenly broke his heart, endured the pain and interrupted the letter, and finally figured out the general situation of his son's sacrifice.
01
At that time, his son had retreated to a safe place, but found that the injured comrades were still outside the trenches, so they rushed out and brought them one by one.
Just as the last comrade in the back, a bullet of the enemy hit him...
The death of his son is undoubtedly a major blow to his father. He is a lot older.
A month later, Christmas arrived, but my father didn't have a holiday at all, and even the bed was too lazy, because he couldn't imagine how to spend Christmas without his son?
Just then, the doorbell rang.
When the father opened the door, he saw that he was a young man, standing there with a small parcel.
02
The young man said to his father, "Mr., maybe you don't know me. I am the wounded soldier that your son was carrying when he died."
Having said that, the young man’s eyes were red, and the parcel in his hand was handed to his father, saying, “I am poor and have nothing worthwhile.
I remember that your son said that you love art. Although I am not an artist, I would like to draw a portrait for him in order to thank your son for his life-saving grace. I hope that you will accept it. ”
The father was shocked, took the parcel, opened it layer by layer, held the portrait of the son of the young man in his hand, then turned and went upstairs step by step, went to the studio, and took off the painting of Rembrandt in front of the fireplace. Hang up the portrait of his son.
The father said to the young man in tears: "Children, this will be my most precious collection. For me, it is worth more than any of my previous collections!"
03
A year later, the melancholy father still couldn't stand the blow of his son's bad news, and he died. His collection of paintings will be auctioned for Christmas this year.
The news spread, museum curators and private collectors from all over the country came in and they all wanted to bid at this auction.
On the day of the shoot, the auction floor was crowded with people of all kinds.
The auctioneer solemnly announced: "Thank you for coming! Now the auction is starting. The first lot is the portrait behind me."
The portrait that the auctioneer said is the one that the young man painted to his father a year ago.
Some people at the meeting shouted: "This is just a portrait of his son. We still skip this and go directly to the famous painting auction?"
The auctioneer shook his head majestically on the stage: "No! I have to auction this portrait before I can continue."
The auctioneer said that the people had no choice but to quiet down.
04
The auctioneer said: "This portrait starts at $100. Who wants to bid?"
No one answered.
He asked again: "Is anyone willing to pay $50?"
Still no one answered.
The auctioneer continued to ask: "Is anyone willing to pay $40?"
Still no one snorted.
The auctioneer looked a little frustrated and even trembled. He asked, "Is there anyone who is willing to bid on this picture?"
05
At this time, an old man stood up and said, "Sir, can you get $10? You see, $10 is my whole family."
I am a neighbor of the collector. I know this child. I grew up watching him. To be honest, I like him very much. I want to buy this picture. Is it $10? ”
The auctioneer said: "Yes. 10 dollars, once; 10 dollars, twice, 10 dollars, three times - the deal!"
There was a burst of cheers on the field. Then, the crowd was excited, and people talked about it: "Hey, now it's finally getting to the point!"
Just listen to the auctioneer and say, "Thank you for coming again! I am very glad that you can come to this auction. Today's auction is over."
06
All the people in the audience were stunned: "What does this mean? The original one has not been filmed yet. How is it over?"
The auctioneer looked very serious and said, "I am sorry, everyone, the auction really can only be here. According to the father's widow, whoever bought his son's portrait, whoever owns all his collections. This is the reserve price. !"
