Chapter 668: You can save one more time
At the moment when he heard the offer, Ye Tian immediately raised his hand and pointed to that side, and said loudly:
"Thank you for your support! The first bidder was a famous art dealer from Los Angeles, Mr. Scott. The current price is 31 million U.S. dollars, 31 million U.S. dollars, and that gentleman is asking for the price?
While shouting, his eyes kept scanning the scene to see if anyone would ask for the price again.
A red wine glass was raised in the back row, and a familiar voice followed.
"32 million dollars! I want this Greco oil painting!"
Ye Tian raised his hand and gestured there, smiling and saying loudly:
"Welcome to the end of Mr. Davis in Houston. Mr. Davis raised the price to 32 million US dollars, very generous! Now it is 33 million US dollars, 33 million US dollars, the time has come, don't hesitate any longer, gentlemen!"
There was no need for him to confuse, everyone on the scene was fighting spirit.
As long as the goods are genuine at a reasonable price, this kind of private auction is undoubtedly the most willing auction to participate in.
There is no support arranged by auction houses or art owners, and there are no unkindly driving up prices, or other shameless means!
Everyone has real money in their pockets and fights based on their own judgment. Even if they lose to others, there is nothing to complain about!
More importantly, participating in this kind of private auction can save 15%-20% of the auction commission, which is also a lot of money.
Coupled with the two top famous paintings that have been missing for nearly 300 years, everyone on the scene is full of fighting spirit and ready to fight to the end!
"35 million dollars, Steven!"
Once again, someone responded loudly and directly raised US$3 million, which is a bit of a certain momentum!
The bidder was the art dealer of Mexico's richest man Carlos Slim, a middle-aged Hispanic man.
Hearing the quotation, everyone at the scene turned their heads and looked over there.
It was him who saw the shot, and the other people who were interested in Greco's oil painting suddenly became more solemn!
As everyone knows, Carlos loves top art from Spain very much and has collected many masterpieces!
Among them are the works of top modern and contemporary artists such as Picasso and Dali, as well as the masterpieces of classical art masters such as Velázquez and Greco.
Since his art agent will participate in the competition, there is no doubt that he will be the most powerful competitor and everyone's main opponent!
At this time, Ye Tian immediately burst into ecstasy, and he was almost dancing with excitement!
awesome! The biggest fat sheep is over! Who is worthy of not slaughtering you?
This Greco oil painting will surely be sold at a sky-high price! There is no doubt!
At the next moment, Ye Tian raised his hand and pointed at the location of the Latino art dealer, and continued to quote passionately, his voice instantly increased by an octave!
"35 million U.S. dollars! Mr. Marquez quoted 35 million U.S. dollars. Welcome to participate in the bidding. The current price is 37 million U.S. dollars, 37 million U.S. dollars. Who will take this price? Gentlemen."
"Here, Steven, 37 million!"
Leon raised his hand to join the battle, another super rich!
"Awesome! Welcome Mr. Leon from Miami Palm Beach to participate in the competition. He should offer 37 million U.S. dollars. The latest price is 39 million U.S. dollars, 39 million U.S. dollars. Gentlemen, be careful, don’t miss the chance!"
Ye Tian's passionate voice came again, bewitching everyone as best he could, wishing to take out every penny in everyone's pocket.
The auction continued, and the quotations kept rising and falling. The competition became fiercer and the atmosphere became more and more popular!
In a blink of an eye, the price of this oil painting exceeded 80 million US dollars!
It was Carlos Slim’s art dealer, Marquez, who quoted this price!
At the moment when he heard the price, Ye Tian's face immediately burst into a bright smile.
US$80 million is the reserve price he set for this top oil painting. It was easily reached. It seems that the price is still a bit conservative and should be set higher!
Next, no matter what the price is, it is a foregone conclusion that this top oil painting will be successfully sold.
In other words, this Greco oil painting will soon cease to belong to Ye Tian, and will be taken into the bag by others. What he gets is a large amount of green US dollars!
Hearing this quotation, there was a burst of discussion in the room.
"80 million dollars, isn't it a bit too expensive? It seems that Greco's paintings have never been sold at such a high price!"
"Yes! This did set a record for the sale of Greco's paintings, but considering that there is no auction commission and the artistic value of this oil painting, the price is reasonable!
You must know that Greco's paintings are extremely rare in the art market. The previous ones are basically the middle and early works, which are obviously not the same as this one! "
While everyone was talking, David and Matisse were completely overwhelmed by ecstasy.
They all know the origin of this oil painting and the price Ye Tian paid for it!
Compared with the leaks that Ye Tian picked up before, the cost of getting this oil painting is undoubtedly the highest, as high as 10 million US dollars, unprecedented!
In their opinion, Ye Tian used this top oil painting to make a fortune, but the auction price of 50 million US dollars is the sky!
But who could have imagined that the auction price exceeded 80 million US dollars so easily, and the competition is still very fierce, still full of momentum!
While ecstatic, David and the others were also quite moved.
My own ambition and imagination still have great limitations, maybe this is one of the places that is not as good as Steven!
Prices continued to soar and soon exceeded $100 million.
This price is a huge watershed, and it is also the upper limit set by most bidders.
When Leon quoted this price, several competitors had no choice but to shake their heads and announced their withdrawal from the competition, with faces full of disappointment and regret, and reluctance!
There are only two competitors left, Leon and Marquez representing Carlos Slim.
One is an American investment bank tycoon worth tens of billions of dollars and manages 200 billion dollars in assets; the other is a Mexican telecommunications giant worth sixty to seventy billion dollars, and the second-largest super rich in the world's richest list!
The two have one thing in common, the most important thing in their hands is the dollar!
The duel between the two heroes begins, and the winner will soon be clear!
The rest of the people have already withdrawn from the competition, and you don't need to worry about them anymore. Ye Tian turned all his attention to the remaining two.
"Leon quoted a price of 100 million U.S. dollars, an amazing price. Now it is 105 million U.S. dollars, 105 million U.S. dollars, Mr. Marquez, are you ready to accept this price?
This is Greco's peak work! An outstanding representative of Spanish art! Don't miss it! I believe that in Mr. Carlos's collection room, such a top-notch painting must be needed! "
"Steven, in addition to a professional treasure hunter and an antique art appraisal expert, you can also be an auctioneer. It's so confusing! It's too cruel!"
Marquez grinned and cursed.
"Hahaha, this is a good suggestion, I will consider it! How about it, 105 million US dollars, accept this price? If I don't accept it, I will fall the hammer!"
Ye Tian laughed and joked, and immediately returned to the subject, with green light in his eyes, with dollar signs in his eyes.
Marquez nodded affirmatively and said firmly:
"Who makes Mr. Carlos like this famous painting! As his art dealer, I naturally have to meet the requirements of my clients, 110 million U.S. dollars, I will definitely get this oil painting!"
"Awesome! Thank you for your generosity!"
Ye Tian exclaimed, his eyes turned to Leon immediately.
"It's your turn, Leon! $115 million, I'm pretty sure, for you, the price is not a problem at all, it's just a drop in the bucket!"
"Steven, you are such a greedy bastard! Well, 115 million dollars, I'll take it!"
Leon gritted his teeth and accepted the price with a bitter smile, yet he has not forgotten to give Ye Tianlai a personal attack.
Obviously, this is almost reaching his limit.
The voice just fell here~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Before Ye Tian could speak, Marquez's voice was the first to reach everyone's ears.
"125 million dollars, Steven!"
After the bid was over, this guy immediately smiled at Leon and nodded, very friendly!
Although there is no words, everyone knows what he means. This is for Leon to raise his hand!
Leon gave the answer he wanted and shook his head lightly, with disappointment and regret in his eyes.
Ye Tian could clearly see everything happening in front of him, but he did not interfere.
The quotation of Greco Oil Painting reached 125 million US dollars, which has far exceeded expectations.
These famous collectors and art brokers on the scene will be their own long-term customers in the future, and they must maintain a good relationship. They can't do a one-shot sale!
After a short pause, he immediately looked at Leon and said loudly:
"Marquez quoted a price of 125 million US dollars, now 130 million US dollars, 130 million, Leon, can make a move, take this price? The opportunity is not to be lost, not to come!"
the answer is negative!
Leon shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"The price is too high. It has already exceeded my price limit. I am very sorry to quit! Congratulations, Marquez, for taking a picture of top art!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian immediately joked and said:
"Farewell! Leon, you must hold on, there is hope, I think you can save it again!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter.
Everyone at the scene laughed loudly, and they almost lifted the ceiling of this suite!
