Chapter 669: Sky-high starting price


The first oil painting was sold for 125 million yuan, setting a new trading record for Greco paintings.
Ye Tian was extremely satisfied with this result. It was the best and most perfect result he could imagine, even better than he had imagined!
Marquez, the art dealer employed by Carlos Slim, was also very satisfied with the result, with a very bright smile on his face.
At this time, he has foreseen that a large amount of commission will be transferred to his bank account, which is definitely a surprising number.
"Papa Papa"
Amidst enthusiastic applause, the auction of the first oil painting ended successfully.
The applause fell, and the highlight began immediately.
Without waiting for a moment, Ye Tian's passionate voice came to everyone's ears again.
"Gentlemen, the second oil painting is now being auctioned. It is from the Renaissance, the greatest painter of the Venetian school, known as the'sun among the stars' Titian Vecellio.
This is Titian's peak painting, with extraordinary artistic value, and it has been missing for nearly three hundred years. Its appearance will surely cause a huge sensation in the field of antique art collection and attract countless attentions.
Are you ready? Gentlemen, are you ready to turn such a top-notch artwork into your own private collection? I hope you will seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and you will regret it forever if you miss it! "
"Steven, don't be sensational! Everyone at the scene understands the weight of this oil painting, let's get started, I can't wait to get it in my bag!"
Pete exclaimed in excitement, his eyes fixed on Ye Tian and the oil painting in front of him, his eyes hot.
"Yes, hurry up and quote the starting price, Steven, for this top oil painting, I am willing to be ransacked by your greedy today!"
Norman was also very excited and couldn't wait.
One of the others is counted as one, and the performance is all the same. Everyone is staring at that picture, gearing up one by one, ready to fight at any time!
The atmosphere is already very warm, hot enough, and there is indeed no need to continue to sensationalize.
Ye Tian smiled softly, scanned the scene, and then said loudly:
"Since everyone can't wait, I don't want to appetite everyone. The starting price will be announced so that everyone will not scold me secretly.
Gentlemen, sit firmly and take care of it. If you have a heart disease, take two pills as soon as possible, so that you won't be too late, and you will be shocked. Don't trouble me at that time, I am not responsible for it! "
"Hahaha"
There was laughter again at the scene.
To be on the safe side, someone put the red wine glass back on the table, and indeed someone took out the medicine bottle, poured a few pills in the palm of his hand, ready for an emergency.
After a short pause, Ye Tian immediately continued:
"In view of the importance of this painting and its extraordinary artistic value, my starting price for this top oil painting is 300 million US dollars!
During the bidding process, the price increase shall not be less than 2 million US dollars each time, and there is no cap! When the price exceeds 400 million US dollars, the minimum price increase shall not be less than 5 million US dollars! "
Although everyone had known the starting price for a long time, everyone was completely shocked when Ye Tian officially announced it.
Before the words fell, the exclamation sounded frantically.
"Oh my God! The starting price of 300 million US dollars is too exaggerated! The starting price is the previous global art auction record, it is incredible!"
"What an eye-opener! Steven is definitely the craziest and most greedy guy I have ever seen. It's cruel to slaughter people! It's terrifying!"
Everyone is exclaiming and feeling! But no one planned to give up, and the desire to fight was burning in every pair of eyes.
Ye Tian's voice came again, still full of passion.
"The bidding starts now, the starting price is 300 million US dollars, 300 million US dollars, is there anyone to bid? That gentleman is here to start the shot?"
While shouting, Ye Tian's eyes quickly scanned the scene, looking forward to seeing the first raised arm.
The waiting time was not long, and before his voice fell, some people responded loudly.
"300 million dollars, Steven"
An art dealer raised his hand and shouted, his voice trembling a little.
This buddy is from New York and is employed by a famous foundation. He is well-known in the industry and knows a lot! Frequently visit the top auction venues.
Even so, he has never seen such a scene today.
The starting price for a piece of art is as high as US$300 million, which is so crazy, can it not be so exciting?
Not only his performance is like this, the other art dealers are also the same, all of them are excited!
They are all employed by people, so naturally they cannot be billionaires. Facing such an astronomical starting price, this kind of performance couldn't be more normal!
The performance of the top collectors is relatively better. They are all super rich. Although 300 million US dollars is a lot, it is acceptable to them!
Someone asks, and the battle begins!
Ye Tian raised his hand and pointed at the location of the art dealer, and said excitedly:
"OK! Mr. Carter, a well-known art dealer from Manhattan, took the lead and offered a price of US$300 million! Thank you for joining us. You deserve to be a friend from New York. Go back and invite you to dinner!
The current price is 305 million U.S. dollars, 305 million U.S. dollars, which gentleman will take this price? This is an oil painting of the treasure level of the town hall, absolutely not to be missed! ..."
He was also going to confuse a few more words to stir up the atmosphere a bit more enthusiastically and make the competition more fierce, but everyone at the scene was willing to listen to this and directly interrupted him.
"Steven, 310 million dollars, I want this one"
Davis from Houston raised his arm and responded loudly, his tone was decisive, with a strong momentum, and he looked like he was sure to win!
This is the boss of an aerospace technology company, worth billions of dollars, and has enough confidence and strength.
"There is another person involved. It is Mr. Davis of Houston. He raised the price to 310 million U.S. dollars. It is very generous. I like the Texas Cowboys!
Now it is 312 million U.S. dollars, 312 million U.S. dollars, which gentleman should offer? Revolver and noose are not allowed here, but we can use US dollars as a weapon to defeat the Texas Cowboys! "
Ye Tian raised his hand and gestured towards Davis, joking and confusing everyone.
"Hahaha"
There was a lot of laughter at the scene.
Everyone laughed, including Davis, who also shook their heads and smiled.
This bewitching obviously worked!
Before the laughter fell, Leon raised his arm and announced the new price loudly.
"Let me beat this Texas cowboy, 320 million dollars, Steven!"
While making the offer, the guy also glanced at Davis, seemingly provocative.
Of course, most of the jokes here are far more provocative~EbookFREE.me~ Of course, Davis refused to show weakness, and immediately laughed and cursed:
"Leon, you’re not so stupid before? Are people going to be stupid when the Miami sun gets too much? Don’t you see that Steven’s is soliciting discord?
That guy can't wait for all of us to pinch you to death, completely lose your mind, and become crazy, so that he can rob more dollars and make a fortune! "
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter again at the scene, and many people leaned forward and closed with laughter.
Ye Tian also laughed a few times, and then continued to speak loudly:
"I don't know if the Miami sun will make people stupid, but I know very well that the super rich who came out of Miami Palm Beach have money in their pockets, that's enough!
Leon from Miami Palm Beach offered 320 million US dollars, very generous! The current price is 322 million U.S. dollars, 322 million U.S. dollars. Which gentleman should offer? It's time to shoot! "
While shouting, Ye Tian's eyes kept scanning the scene, taking in all the situation on the scene and everyone's reaction.
"325 million dollars, Steven"
Once again someone responded loudly, it was an art dealer from Chicago!
