Capítulo 427: Chapter 427: Sky-high Price Antique Furniture
"Ladies and gentlemen, this set of royal furniture from London in 1860, originally belonging to the Baron of Notting Hill and Renaissance style, is now on auction.
The starting price is 2.8 million U.S. dollars, and the minimum increase in the asking price shall not be less than 100,000 U.S. dollars. The bidding starts, 2.8 million U.S. dollars and 2.8 million U.S. dollars. Which lady or gentleman should bid?"
Brad's voice is very loud and passionate! It sprayed out quickly, bombarding the eardrums of all bidders.
Many European and American bidders in the audience are already impatient and they are waiting for this moment!
Before the voice was over, someone immediately raised the bidding plate and shouted:
"Brad, $3 million, I want this royal family furniture!"
The bidder who raised the placard was an old white man in his fifties with a big waist. He was very aggressive and looked like he was determined to win.
While calling the price, he always stared at the antique furniture pictures on the big screen, staring at the auctioneer, his eyes were so bright and full of desire, he wished that Brad would immediately drop the hammer!
But this is just the beginning, how can he do it? Even if others didn't object, Ye Tian couldn't agree!
"On the No. 153, Mr. Keynes from Toronto asked for 3 million U.S. dollars. Now it is 3.2 million U.S. dollars, 3.2 million U.S. dollars. Is anyone answering the price? This is antique furniture from the British Royal Family. Don't miss it!"
Brad raised his hand to gesture, and quickly quoted the new price.
At the same time, his eyes are quickly patrolling the audience in order to spot new bidders.
"$3.8 million, Brad"
The sound came from the door of the auction hall, still a white buyer, about forty or fifty years old!
This one shot up the price drastically and directly raised $800,000 on the basis of the quotation, which is a big deal, obviously strong!
After quoting the price, this one didn't stop, but joked with the one who had previously quoted.
"Keynes, you'd better stop! Since this set of royal furnitures appeared in New York, it is a treasure that belongs to the United States. How can it be impossible for you to get these and take them to Canada!"
The two obviously know each other and the relationship is okay, he can make some innocuous jokes!
It is not surprising that they know each other. For many antique art collectors in the United States and Canada, New York is their main battlefield! Everyone often meets at auctions in New York.
If they meet more often, they will know each other too! Some people can even communicate with each other and become business partners or good friends!
"Hahaha"
There was a lot of laughter at the scene, which slightly eased the tension.
Amidst the laughter, there were also many echoing voices.
"Man, you are right. Since this top antique furniture has appeared in the United States, it should stay here and never let these Canadians buy it!"
"Don't worry! Guys, I will leave this royal family furniture in the United States, in New York, to decorate my villa on Long Island!"
Keynes sitting in the front row stood up, turned his head and smiled and cursed towards the door of the auction hall:
"Monroe, you are a rude bastard! Do you know how to appreciate Renaissance-style art? You bastard is only good for riding a horse to herd herds. Don't spoil these artworks!"
"Hahaha"
There was another burst of laughter in the auction hall.
Immediately afterwards, Brad's passionate voice came again, and the laughter was covered by the audio.
"No. 209, Mr. Monroe from Montana asked for $3.8 million. Now it is $4.1 million, $4.1 million. Who will take this price?"
Before the words were over, a Sotheby's staff member raised the bidding number plate.
It was a telephone bidding and another buyer began to compete.
This shot was also very generous and he came up with a substantial price increase, trying to use this method to show the determination to win, deter or repel other competitors.
"Five million dollars!"
The voices of Sotheby's staff resounded throughout the audience, and everyone heard it very real.
"Wow! Where did this buyer come from! It's crazy!"
There was a cry of exclamation at the scene and many people were shocked by this large-scale bid!
Especially many buyers from China were stunned. There are furniture in the thousands of dollars, but there are few in the millions of dollars. It can be said that it is rare!
The main reason is that many of the Chinese-style furniture handed down are not complete sets, most of which are two pieces or one piece and more than four pieces are very rare.
In addition, due to the many turmoil in history, the identity and origin of most Chinese antique furniture, as well as the inheritance information are unproven and the value of these furniture is also reduced.
But the British Royal Family's furniture in front of them does not have these problems. Not only are they well-preserved, but they also appear as a complete set. There is no shortage of one! Very precious!
More importantly, this set of furniture has an orderly heritage and is well documented.
This will undoubtedly increase its value greatly, make this furniture hot and become the target of many European and American collectors and they are willing to bid generously to it!
With the current hot competitive atmosphere, this antique furniture be sold for more than 10 million US dollars is a sure thing! It is even possible to make even more jaw-dropping prices!
Faced with such a set of antique furniture worth tens of millions of dollars, everyone is naturally shocked.
At the same time, some buyers who know about the situation of this antique furniture look at Ye Tian, who is smiling in the crowd and are even more envious and want to replace him!
Even the collectors like Ma Weidu was shocked by the hot bidding scene in the auction hall and said to Ye Tian inconceivably:
"You are awesome! You found such a complete set of antique furniture. It seems that today you are going to make a record, maybe you can set a record for this year's antique furniture auction!"
"I borrow your good words! Ma Weidu, if I can win this year's antique furniture auction record, that would be great, but I want to win the historical antique furniture auction record. I don't know if there is a show or not?"
Ye Tian said with a smile, expressing his ambition by the way.
"Hahaha, the historical record of antique furniture auctions! You really dare to think! Don't are afraid that the wind will flash your tongue! Tell you the truth, it's no show!
Your British Royal Furniture will never exceed US$25 million. It is far from the record of US$36 million! Don't think about beautiful things!"
Mr. Ma said in a low tone, shattering Ye Tian's unrealistic fantasy.
"The 'Badminton' cabinet is nothing more than a cabinet, which can be sold for a sky-high price of 36 million U.S. dollars, buddy, this is a complete set of 32 pieces of royal furniture! Isn't it comparable to one?"
Ye Tian said in a low voice disdainfully, a bit of disgust in his tone.
"The auction record for the 'Badminton' cabinet was set in 2004. If the auction is now on, it is possible that the cabinet will sell for $300 million!
If you could put the resolute table of the President of the United States or the Queen of England at auction this day, you would surely set a new record! Now, you can enjoy the harvest in front of you!"
Ma Weidu joked, then turned his head and looked at the auction stand.
"You are right! Let's enjoy what I have now! Look at how many dollars these crazy foreign devils will eventually contribute to me!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his face full of expression!
The auction price of royal furniture continues to soar and has reached 12 million US dollars, which is exactly twice the reserve price and there is no sign of stopping!
Ye Tian is very satisfied with this price.
But who thinks money is too hot? Naturally, the more the better.
"No. 47 offered 13 million U.S. dollars. This is a beautiful lady. Now it is 13.5 million U.S. dollars, 13.5 million. Which lady or gentleman should respond?
OK! The plaque No. 175 is from a bidding on the Internet. The latest price is 14 million U.S. dollars and 14 million U.S. dollars. Who will take this price? "
Brad's voice is still full of passion, still as fast as a machine gun! He repeatedly reported new prices loudly and continued to help Ye Tian harvest dollars.
