Chapter 908: Donate on site
After a small episode, the auction continued.
The atmosphere on the scene has become more and more hot, and people's emotions have become more and more high.

2.6.6 million, a deal! The winning bidder is No. 83, Mr. Yang from Hangzhou. Congratulations, you have won this Northern Song Dynasty built kiln rabbit hare cup. This may be the tea cup used by Song Huizong! ..."
As the auction hammer fell again and again, and with Ye Tian's passionate voice, pieces of top antique works of art were successfully sold one after another, changing owners.
As the original owner, while losing these antique works of art, Ye Tian gained a large sum of money.
His personal wealth is increasing crazily at an incredible speed! Unstoppable like a torrent!
Of course, this is only nominal wealth.
Only after the auction is over and the delivery procedures are completed, these wealth truly belong to him and become a set of numbers on his bank account!
During the auction process, the people in the exhibition hall behaved differently, all kinds of emotions can be seen and experienced here!
If someone gets what they want, they will naturally cheer and celebrate.
But just as they cheered and celebrated, the opponents who competed in the same field were extremely disappointed, one by one, regretful, with regrets in their eyes.
Everyone who fails hates himself for being too cautious and failing to let go of his hands and feet, so that his favorite baby slips past his eyes and becomes someone else's pocket.
Especially those whose quotations are almost the same as the final transaction price, are even more regretful, wanting to go back in time and bid again!
Even if Ma Ye is a well-rounded collector, it is inevitable that the horse will lose the forefront.
The Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln gall bottle he fancyed was half-hearted by others. The transaction price was only RMB 100,000 higher than his offer, and the difference was extremely small!
When he saw the highest offer, Ye Tian shrugged helplessly at Ma Ye, expressing his helplessness!
And Ma Ye, who was sitting in the audience, could only smile bitterly depressed, and there was no way.
Even if he insisted on taking down the Longquan Kiln Gallbladder, he could only wait for the auction to end before discussing with the buyer who succeeded in bidding to see if the other party was willing to transfer it.
At the auction, the result has been confirmed, and the gods cannot be changed.
Ma Ye is by no means the only master who fumbled and depressed at the scene!
A painting and calligraphy work that several cultural and cultural experts in the Palace Museum were optimistic about and prepared to be included in the Palace Museum was also cut off.
It was an ink landscape painting by Xia Gui of the Southern Song Dynasty. The transaction price was as high as 56.5 million yuan, which was more than 5 million yuan higher than their offer. They were not even able to fight back!
Although this ink landscape painting by Xia Gui of the Southern Song Dynasty is also a top-level artwork, fortunately it is not the main goal of the Forbidden City. Even if it misses, it is not a pity!
But this also reminded them that in this exhibition hall today, there is absolutely hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Many people's pockets are bottomless, which is frightening!
The bidding for the next few targets must be careful and thoughtful, otherwise it is really possible to return empty-handed today and run for nothing!
That kind of situation is something they never want to face. There are a few top antique works of art, they are bound to win.
In particular, Li Cheng, one of the three great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty,’s "The Picture of Qingluan Xiaosi", is a treasure that must not be missed, otherwise they will not be able to make a difference when they return to the Forbidden City.
While talking, another antique appeared on the big screen.
As soon as this antique appeared, there was a sound of discussion on the scene.
"Ye Tian has a lot of energy! He actually got permission to auction bronzes, or he didn't even know that bronze auctions are not allowed in China!"
"With this kid's impeccable manner, how could he not know this rule? This bronze is a returned cultural relic, maybe it can really be auctioned!"
"Even if it can be auctioned, there are probably not many people bidding, except for those museums! Bronze wares are generally pre-Han dynasty, and most of them are national first-class or even special-grade cultural relics.
There are several inscriptions on the body of this bronze ‘Gob’, which is a proper first-class cultural relic! No matter who falls into the hands, they are not allowed to enter the market again, and can only be collected by themselves! "
Amidst the discussion, Ye Tian's voice came again.
"Everyone should know about the bronze on the big screen. This is the bronze stolen from the Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990, gob!
In the previous treasure hunt in Boston, I found this bronze ware, and then through exchange, I took this bronze ware as my own and brought it back to China.
In view of the domestic cultural relics policy, in principle, the circulation and trading of bronze cultural relics are not allowed, so I do not intend to auction this bronze today.
It is possible to auction this bronze ware abroad, and I believe it can also be sold at a not low price, but I do not want this very important bronze ware to continue to be lost overseas.
Then someone at the scene will definitely ask, since there is no going to auction, why should this bronze ware be brought to this auction? Isn't it superfluous?
The reason why I took it to the auction and displayed it in front of everyone is because I want to take this opportunity to donate this valuable research-worthy bronze to a museum! "
"Ah! Donate for free! I heard it right!"
There was an exclamation sound at the scene, everyone was frightened! Looking at Ye Tian dumbfounded, his eyes were full of incredible, as if he couldn't believe his eyes and ears.
Is this the Ye Tian he knew? Isn't this kid always known for his greed?
Especially in the auction arena, he is even more cruel, no one should try to take advantage of him!
You have seen this with your own eyes just now! There is no doubt!
Regarding the reserve prices he set for the top antique artworks in the exhibition area, which one is not close to the current market price, the space left for everyone is really very limited.
If it weren't for a private auction, and there was no need to pay a huge commission of 20%; if it weren't for the fact that these antique works of art were so outstanding, many people might have already retreated!
What's wrong now? This kid actually donated for free! Is the sun coming out from the west?
Although due to the domestic cultural relics policy, the auction prices of bronzes have fallen again and again in recent years, and they cannot be compared with antique porcelain, calligraphy and painting! But after all, it is also a first-class cultural relic!
As for the bronze ‘Gob’ in front of everyone, even if it is no longer worth, it is at least 10 million yuan or more, so don’t you? The handwriting is really not small!
But they knew that this bronze was completely tasteless in Ye Tian's eyes!
Auctions are not allowed in the country, the prices are not as high as there, and auctions abroad are unwilling to do so, and maybe they have to carry the infamy of a traitor!
As for his own collection, to be honest, he didn't have much interest.
Bronze ware is more important in its symbolic significance and cultural research value. After understanding the meaning of those inscriptions, Ye Tian lost interest in this treasure.
Because of this, he was ready to donate it, and it can also make a good reputation!
In a moment, everyone at the scene was sober.
Immediately afterwards, those cultural experts from major domestic museums went crazy!
Bronze with inscriptions! That is definitely a national treasure, no matter it is placed in any museum, it is a cultural relic of the town's treasure level!
Ye Tian, this kid actually intends to donate for free, such a godsend opportunity, whoever misses it is a stick!
"Xiao Ye, donate this treasure to our National Expo. In terms of bronze protection and research, our national Expo is definitely the best in China, and no one can match it!"
"Lao Zhang! It's a big boast! What about the National Museum of our Forbidden City? Xiaoye, donate this bronze to our Forbidden City! This kind of national treasure should be placed in the Forbidden City!
The two super predators took the lead in attacking, they were not polite at all!
After the other famous museums were unwilling to be reconciled, they followed one by one, all with the same purpose, that is, to take down this 3200-year-old bronze ritual!
Ye Tian had a case for donating this bronze to that museum. Of course, it was the museum that would bring him the most benefit!
From this perspective, there are only two museums that meet the criteria, namely the Forbidden City and the National Museum.
Among these two, he chose Guobo again.
In comparison, Guobo is indeed more professional and powerful in bronze protection and research!
The advantage of the Forbidden City lies in its high popularity, but the collection is too rich and complex. The researchers have limited energy and may not be able to take this bronze into consideration. Obviously it is not the best choice!
Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed down ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said:
"No need to argue! There is no need. I have already made a decision. I intend to donate this long-lost bronze ritual ‘Gob’’ to the National Expo!
This is my deliberate choice. It is undeniable that Guobo is indeed at the top level in the country in terms of bronze protection and research. I hope everyone will understand! "
Before the words fell, cheers had already sounded on the scene.
"Great! Xiaoye! Your kid made the wisest choice!"
The cheers came from the Guobo people, they were already excited and danced like crazy.
The cultural experts of the other famous museums all sighed in disappointment, very regretful!
But they knew in their hearts that Ye Tian's choice was indeed the most correct and wisest!
In terms of bronze protection and research, my own museum is indeed inferior to the National Museum, which cannot be denied! Can only accept this result!
