Chapter 1955: Reap the fruits of victory
In the banquet hall, Ye Tianqinglang's voice still echoed in the air, reaching everyone's ears.
"...In the next time, everyone can enjoy the gold and silver treasures and antiques displayed in the bulletproof glass shopkeepers, but they cannot be authenticated. Please understand and cooperate.
Two hours later, when everyone has finished enjoying these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics, they will enter the auction process. At that time, everyone is welcome to bid, and I hope everyone can get something.
To make it clear that the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts displayed in this banquet hall are only a small part of the treasures of the Knights Templar, but these exhibits are very representative.
The auction here today is only half of the treasures of the Knights Templar I got. The other half will be exchanged for Chinese antique art works. Welcome everyone to come and talk with me.
One more point must be stated in advance. For all the gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics auctioned today, I have formulated corresponding auction reserve prices based on the current market conditions of antique art.
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help rolling their eyes in angrily, and vomiting secretly.
This extremely greedy and cunning **** has thought of everything, and won't leave any room for everyone!
murmured secretly at the same time, many people also dispelled some undesirable ideas, such as jointly lowering prices, making games, and so on.
Every one of them knows that that kind of method is of no use at all, and it's better not to be embarrassed, so as not to laugh at it.
In this banquet hall, if you want to take down your favorite antique relics, there is only one way, and that is to roll up your sleeves and fight to defeat all your competitors.
As long as my pocket is deep enough, I will definitely get what I want today, otherwise I can only be a spectator and run to watch the excitement.
Ye Tian quickly glanced at the crowd, and then continued:
"For the sake of fairness, before the start of the auction, I will hand over an envelope containing the reserve price of all the lots to the lawyer, and after the auction is over, I will make the document public.
In this way, you don’t have to worry about my hands and feet and adjust the auction reserve price at will. I know that there are many antique dealers on the scene, so don’t worry, I will leave you profit margins.
Again, everyone is a professional who has been in this industry for a long time. They have their own business strategies and their judgments are extremely accurate. I believe no one will make a loss-making business.
After the auction is over, all the gold and silver treasures and antiques that have been unsold will be entrusted to the major auction houses in London for them to auction on their behalf in the future, but the reserve price will be greatly increased.
Okay, that’s all there is to say. It’s a waste of everyone’s time. Now everyone can enjoy the antiques from the Middle Ages and earlier. My staff will explain it for you.”
After speaking, Ye Tian made a please gesture and gestured to the exhibits displayed in the bulletproof glass showcase.
"Papa Papa"
A warm applause resounded throughout the banquet hall.
The applause fell, and the top collectors from all over the world and professionals from all walks of life in the banquet hall immediately scattered to continue admiring the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts from the treasures of the Knights Templar.
After finishing the performance, Ye Tian immediately walked off the podium and came to Prince William and his wife. He joked and said to these British guys:
"His Royal Highness, Curator Fisher, I don’t know if you think about it and exchange it with me? The many top collectors and museum representatives who came here today are very interested in those priceless treasures.
Especially the golden crown of King Edward I. More than ten people have already asked me for a price. They are ready to win the great treasure of Britain at all costs, but I rejected them all.
If you are delayed in making a decision, then I can only change my mind and talk to the top collectors and famous museums about the transaction. This matter must be settled before I leave London."
Upon hearing this, Prince William and the curator of the British Museum both laughed bitterly, helplessly, as did the other British guys.
While smiling bitterly, each of these British guys were itching with hatred. They wanted to pounce on Ye Tian and give them a good breath.
"Steven, you show to take advantage of the fire, a guy like you who is extremely greedy, I have never seen it before, or even heard of it."
Prince William said in a low voice, and every word came out of his teeth.
Take advantage of the fire? Isn't this something you British guys used to do often, and you are even more shameless and despicable, you guys only did it once, and you can't stand it anymore?
Where is this? The days are still long, and things like this will happen one after another in the future. Just take it and treat it as a debt payment!
Of course, these are Ye Tian's psychological activities, it is impossible to resort to the mouth.
"His Royal Highness, the words are serious. How can this be called taking advantage of the fire? In my opinion, this is a fair deal based on market value. It is good for both of you and me. The result is a win-win situation. Why not do it!"
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, not paying attention to Prince William's slander and attack.
Speaking of this, the curator of the British Museum standing next to him suddenly interjected:
"Steven, we can trade with you to exchange the collection of Chinese antique art pieces in exchange for those British national treasures, including the King Edward I's gold crown, but the subject of the transaction still needs to be negotiated.
Our British Museum is one of the four largest museums in the world, and it is especially known for its all-inclusiveness. We must not let the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum completely collapse just because of this antique art transaction.”
Ye Tian turned his head and looked at this familiar old friend, then smiled and said:
"Of course, Fisher, I have no intention of destroying the British Museum's China Pavilion, jeopardizing the status of the British Museum in the industry. When the official meeting tomorrow, let's talk about the specific transaction target."
When he said this, Ye Tian also glanced at the curator of the British Library and the chairman of the Great Vader Foundation.
Without exception, these were all the objects he was preparing to slaughter, and don't even want to run away.
After a few more conversations, Ye Tian took Prince William and his wife and several other British people to visit the many antique relics displayed in this banquet hall, and personally explained them.
In a blink of an eye, two hours have passed.
When the time came to 3:30 in the afternoon, Ye Tian stood on the rostrum again, picked up the microphone, and tapped again.
With the clear knocking sound, everyone on the scene was attracted. They all turned to look at the podium, and all looked at the energetic Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, standing on the rostrum, quickly scanned the audience, then walked to the auction stage and said to everyone on the scene with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past two hours, everyone has appreciated all the gold and silver treasures and antique relics displayed in this banquet hall. They have done some appraisal and determined their goals.
Next, we will enter the auction session. I will personally preside over the auction. The number plate you receive when you enter the banquet hall is your bid number. Just lift it up when participating in the bidding.
The employees of our Brave Fearless Exploration Company will provide services for this private auction, record your bids, and be responsible for reminding me at any time that the entire auction process today will be videotaped.
When the auction is over, I will publish the auction reserve prices of all sold lots, and then everyone can come up and sign contracts and other related documents with my private lawyer, and deliver them on the spot.
The envelope contained in this envelope is the reserve price of all the antiques and cultural relics that I set up for auction today. Now I will give it to a few lawyers, who will keep them until the auction is over."
As he said, Ye Tian picked up a sealed envelope from the auction stage, showed it to the public, and then taught it to David who came forward.
Next, David and several British lawyers checked the envelopes one by one.
After confirming that there was no problem with the envelope, they showed it to everyone at the scene, and then put the envelope in a transparent box so that everyone could see it.
After finishing this procedure, Ye Tian continued:
"One thing must be stated, all the lots sold in this auction today have a delivery period of only three days. Before we leave London, the delivery must be completed, and it is both money and goods."
Before the voice of was over, there was a small commotion at the scene.
"Wow! The delivery period is only three days, and money and goods must be paid. Isn't this condition a bit too harsh?"
"No way! This is a private auction, and it's a private auction held by this guy Steven. All the initiative is in his hands. We only have the qualifications to bid with the placards, and we don't have any right to speak!"
The reactions of everyone at the scene were all within Ye Tian's expectation, and he didn't feel surprised at all.
When the voice on the scene fell slightly, he immediately smiled and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, before the auction starts, I have to say so much. I hope everyone can actively participate in the bidding according to their own circumstances. I also hope that everyone can gain something.
Okay, the auction is now starting. The first lot auctioned today is a set of gold coins circulating in the British Isles around A.D. For information about this set of gold coins, please see the big projection screen."
said, Ye Tian raised his hand to the large projection screen next to the rostrum and gestured.
At the same time, videos, pictures, and related text materials about those antique gold coins began to be played on the big projection screen, which was very detailed.
Combined with the pictures on the big screen, Ye Tian's explanation is also continuing.
"This group of gold coins includes Celtic gold coins minted around the second century BC, Irish gold coins minted around 50 BC, and contemporary English gold coins and Scottish gold coins.
In addition, there are some gold coins minted during the occupation of the ancient Roman Empire. There are a total of forty gold coins in this group. Each gold coin is very rare and extremely precious. It can be regarded as a special collection.
Through this group of gold coins, we can get a glimpse of the economic and social development of the British Isles before and after AD. It is the first-hand material for studying that period of history and the most direct historical evidence. The importance can be imagined.
Regarding the value and authenticity of this group of antique gold coins, I can endorse it. This extremely important group of antique gold coins has a starting price of 4 million euros and a minimum price increase of 200,000 euros~www.wuxiaspot.com ~Of course, you can also make your own quotation without a cap! Well, the first auction starts now. The starting price of this group of antique gold coins is four million euros or four million euros. Which gentleman or lady should ask for the price? "
With the loud announcement of the start of the auction, Ye Tian's eyes were like eagle eyes, scanning the audience quickly to see if anyone raised a placard to ask for a price.
The employees of the company who assisted the auction also became more excited, standing on the podium and scanning the audience, ready to fill up the vacancies for Ye Tiancha at any time.
As soon as Ye Tian's voice fell, a familiar voice came from the audience.
"Steven, here, I am very interested in this group of antique gold coins"
It is Leon, a top collector from the United States and an old friend who Ye Tian is very familiar with. He has dealt with him many times before.
Obviously, apart from being interested in this group of antique gold coins and wanting to put them in his pocket, Leon also has the meaning of cheering for Ye Tian and forming a good relationship.
Seeing this old friend raise a placard in response to the price, Ye Tian immediately nodded at him, then said loudly with a smile:
"The price is for Mr. Leon from the United States. Thank you for your support. The current price of this set of antique gold coins is 4.2 million euros and 4.2 million euros. Which gentleman or lady should ask for the price?"
"4.2 million euros, I took it"
There was another placard in response to the price. This time it was a representative from the Glasgow Museum in Scotland.
