Chapter 1017: King of Ming Dynasty
Ye Tian's seemingly crazy house sweeping action not only shocked everyone, but also greatly pushed up the prices of luxury houses around Central Park.
Those rich people who are planning to buy houses in the vicinity of Central Park in the near future, faced with the sudden and sharp rise in property prices, are all angrily and hateful.
But what can they do? There is nothing wrong with Ye Tian!
They can only complain to the news media, complaining that Ye Tian is disrupting the market; then they curse in private, then they die, choose to avoid, and wait until the time is right.
Fortunately, only the top luxury housing market is affected. Apart from shock and envy, ordinary people have no personal feelings, so there is no exciting scene.
Many people have guessed the reason why Ye Tian spent a lot of money and frequently purchased luxury homes at this time. It was for reasonable tax avoidance! Everyone is doing the same thing, it's just not so crazy!
The guys from the IRS naturally understand, but they can't do anything, they can only watch with fire-breathing eyes! There is nothing to do in a hurry!
That's hundreds of millions of dollars! In a blink of an eye, it becomes piles of reinforced concrete and sets of top luxury houses, but they have nothing to do with them. Who doesn't feel bad about it?
Because of time, today's top luxury house is Ye Tian's last goal. To take down this luxury house and complete the formalities, the tax filing deadline should be here!
At that time, Ye Tian's crazy house sweeping operation will officially end.
Real estate agent Martin's voice just fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said
"This apartment is very good, I like it very much. As an expert on antique art appraisal, I have long admired this mansion! I wanted to come here for a long time!
However, I never thought that one day, I will become the master here! It's incredible, all this is like a dream, it's too unreal!
The only pity is that Mr. An Siyuan’s lifetime collection, which is more than 2,000 pieces of antique art, is no longer in this apartment. What a shame!
If those babies are still here, it would be great! I am willing to spend more dollars, even hundreds of millions! Come accept this mansion, accept those valuable antique works of art.
Among the many collections of An Siyuan, I like the Ming-style furniture the most. They are rare and priceless treasures. They are the pinnacle of traditional Chinese furniture.
But unfortunately, I was still late, and I was taken a step ahead by the guys from Christie’s auction house, and all the 2,000 antique works of art were transported away and put up for auction! "
Ye Tian sighed with emotion, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
That's right! This top apartment is the old house of An Siyuan, a famous Western collector and well-known antique dealer known as the "King of the Ming Dynasty".
An Siyuan, a well-known antique dealer and collector in New York, is recognized as one of the most discerning and tasteful antique dealers and collectors in the United States and the entire Western art world, and is known as the "Godfather of Chinese Antiques".
He has profound knowledge in Chinese painting and calligraphy, rubbings, works of art, classical furniture, etc. He has a large number of collection-grade antique works of art, all of which are very valuable!
Especially in the research and collection of furniture in the Ming Dynasty, he can be regarded as one of the most authoritative experts and scholars, known as the "King of Ming Dynasty".
The four Ming Dynasty Huanghuali armchairs and a large Huanghuali case that he once held were extremely rare and priceless treasures. Even Ye Tian was enthusiastic about those treasures and wanted to get it!
It's a pity that this old man fell in his apartment more than a year ago and then bid farewell to the world!
Before long, his lifetime collection, more than 2,000 antique works of art displayed in this apartment, were all taken away by Christie's, and then all were auctioned off within seven days.
Prior to this, this apartment was absolutely famous in the field of New York antique art collection, and it was a place that many insiders wanted to enter and see.
This apartment used to display Chinese furniture, cultural play, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, jade, rare books, Japanese, Indian, Himalayan, Southeast Asian art, etc., collection-level antique art can be seen everywhere!
In addition, there are many British traditional furniture, European decorative artworks, and modern paintings. They are arranged in an orderly manner. Eastern and Western arts are melted together and live in harmony!
When An Siyuan was alive, this apartment was not only a private home, but also a rich museum. It was also the top social place in New York's antique art collection field. Many people wanted to come in!
In this apartment, he spends day and night with many top antique artworks, researches and feels the beauty in them, entertains friends and meets customers here.
It used to be full of friends, museum curators from Europe, young scholars from China, top collectors, curators, art dealers from all over the world, etc., it is very lively!
The big collector John Rockefeller III is his loyal buyer, the actress Claude Colbert is his confidante, and the pop music superstar Frank Sinatra often sings in this apartment.
Even John Gotti, the notorious mafia gangster in New York history, visited repeatedly before he was imprisoned in 1992. He cultivated elegance and brought himself closer to art!
The visits of guests, the appreciation of precious treasures, the lively chats and laughs, the interaction with each other, the display, appreciation, trading, and collection of artworks, often happen unconsciously.
It is such a place, but it is empty at this time, and there is no longer any shadow of antique art, nor can I feel a bit of art.
If the person standing here is not Ye Tian, but someone who does not understand the history of this apartment, I would never have imagined that this is the residence of the famous collector An Siyuan, once filled with valuable antique works of art.
Although the people of Sri Lanka have gone, the prosperity is no longer! But the basic value of this top-level apartment still exists, it hasn't been affected, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it!
Based on An Siyuan's celebrity effect, compared with other top-level apartments around, the appreciation potential of this apartment is obviously greater, which is one of the reasons why Ye Tian appeared here!
"It is indeed a pity! Mr. An Siyuan has no family, and those valuable antique artworks are not inherited, so it is naturally impossible to keep here.
He signed an agreement with Christie's very early. Once he dies, the antique works of art will be sent to auction, all auctioned, and all the proceeds will be donated! "
Following Ye Tian's words, Martin explained a few words, apparently doing some homework.
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, then changed the subject.
"Okay! Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the real estate transaction. My lawyer Anderson will follow up the follow-up matters, so as to sign the contract and complete the transaction as soon as possible!
As he said, he raised his hand and gestured to Anderson who was standing next to him.
David was busy filing tax returns for the past two days and couldn't get away. He followed the lawyer next to Ye Tian and replaced him with Anderson, who will come forward to deal with legal affairs related to real estate transactions!
"In that case, let's not waste time here, go directly to the next step and sign the real estate transaction contract as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"
Martin nodded and said, his expression was so excited that he almost danced.
There is a lot of commission to earn, of course he is excited, it's the same for everyone!
"Okay! Let's leave here, go sign the contract, and complete the deal!"
With that, Ye Tian turned around and walked out.
The moment he turned around, his gaze swept across a corner of the living room as if inadvertently.
In the eyes of others, that corner is unremarkable ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. There is only a faint mark on the wall, which is a trace of the furniture, and nothing else!
But in Ye Tian's eyes, that corner shone with dazzling yellow light, and there were as many as twenty layers of beautiful halo, very charming.
Obviously, there is a hidden compartment or mezzanine, which hides valuable and top antique artworks, which are at least five hundred years old.
As for what treasure is hidden in that secret, Ye Tian naturally knew it!
As early as the first time he walked into this apartment, he found the treasure hidden in the secret grid, and through perspective, he could see the situation in the secret grid clearly!
It was this discovery that made him more determined to win this top apartment!
I bought more than 20 luxury houses in a row, and finally let my buddies encounter the secret grid again, and got a big surprise!
It seems that buddies are going to pick up a top apartment for nothing. Is there anything more beautiful than this?
