Bab 236: Chapter 236: The Autumn Wind
The preview continued, and the mood of the visitors gradually calmed down.
Few people at the scene screamed out anymore, even if it was a compliment from the heart, everyone would pay attention to controlling the volume so as not to disturb others.
People may be quietly appreciating the miracles of nature, feeling the shock of that extraordinary work, and experiencing the most direct temptation of wealth!
Or while appreciating the pinnacle of post-impressionist art, in the change of color, feeling the unparalleled artistic charm brought by the master of art.
Betty and the other beauties visited the booth, and Ye Tian and David continued to chat.
It didn't take long for several members of the Morgan Mining Investment Team to walk over.
There are other people around them, several Wall Street Tycoons, Ye Tian knows them, but they don't know Ye Tian.
"Steven, congratulations on digging the treasure again, you lucky guy!"
Charlie of Morgan's team was very enthusiastic, and came up and banged his fist with Ye Tian.
"Charlie, I also want to congratulate you. I heard that you are going to sell the Gonzalez's Gold Mine, at twice the purchase price. You are too dark! Or I am too kind!"
Ye Tian said jokingly, slightly sour!
These guys are worthy of the title Wall Street vampires, they are too hot! Changing hands is doubling the profit, just like grabbing money!
"Hahaha, such an excellent gold mine, of course we have to make a fortune and immediately let go of it! We shouldn't let us go to that ghost place in Alaska to search for gold, right?"
Charlie smiled triumphantly, and the rest of their team were equally smiling.
"That's right! Leave the gold rush to professionals!"
Ye Tian smiled and agreed. Anyway, my buddy has made the most fat, and the life and death of digging gold is my ass!
"Stop talking about this, introduce some friends to you, this is..."
"Charlie, don't need to introduce it. I was on Wall Street before. How could I not know these people?"
Ye Tian smiled and interrupted Charlie's introduction, and greeted several Wall Street bigwigs.
"Mr. Clement and Mr. Perez from the COMEX branch of the New York Metal Exchange, Mr. Johnson from the Chicago Gold Exchange,..."
"Hello Steven, I'm Clement, I'm glad to meet you, the most amazing guy in New York, the kid who keeps creating miracles!"
Clement shook hands with Ye Tian with a smile on his face and kept looking at him.
This is the latest legend in New York, not only famous in the market, but also familiar and well-known on Wall Street!
In particular, he made huge fortunes one after another, lived in the best apartment in New York, and drove the most expensive sports car, which made everyone very envious, including the gold-collar workers on Wall Street.
Even a super rich man like Clemente is probably not so cool.
Since I ran into it today, I have to take a closer look.
Clement is not the only one with this curiosity!
The other Wall Street bigwigs were also observing secretly, planning to see where Ye Tian was magical.
But unfortunately, apart from seeing that Ye Tian was exquisite and confident, they didn't find anything special.
There are many such people on Wall Street, and they look like a careerist like the boss of the sky and my second child, a specimen of Wall Street elite!
Since this kid has been on Wall Street before, it is not surprising to have such a performance.
But what is his magic? Why do miracles work one after another? Questions still linger in everyone's mind, no one has found the answer!
Soon, everyone talked about the gold nugget on the booth.
"Steven, we are very interested in this nugget gold, we are ready to bid it and put it on the trading floor, I believe it will double the motivation of all traders!"
Clement pointed to the gold nugget on the big screen and said, with an expression of determination to win.
Hearing this, Johnson's eyes on the Chicago Gold Exchange immediately brightened, and he was obviously tempted.
It is very good to stimulate traders with gold nugget, it is more direct and shocking than anything else, and it is also the most economical incentive method.
Gold nugget will not depreciate. It is invaluable at any time and can be realized at any time.
Thinking of this, Johnson became more determined to win this piece of gold.
As for the New York Metal Exchange and Clement, let them eat ass. Chicagoans are not short of money!
"Wow! This is a great idea. Under the stimulation of this nugget, your traders will probably be crazy!"
Ye Tian exclaimed in cooperation and gave Clemente a thumbs up.
The more of you super predators, the better, and the fiercer the competition, the better, it's better to fight to the death and blood, so that buddy can make more dollars!
...
Clement and the others went to admire the famous painting, and Ye Tian brought Betty back, and walked to the Newmont Gold Company. They were also old acquaintances and needed to say hello.
But they didn't take a few steps before they were stopped by the ugly-faced Mayor of Dawson, Rick. There were several Canadians beside him, their faces also stinky.
"Steven, take your time, we want to talk about the gold nugget"
Ye Tian raised a little vigilance, smiled and nodded.
"Rick, good morning, welcome to New York, how have you been?"
Hearing this greeting, Rick almost immediately spewed a mouthful of old blood.
Is it going well? What a shit! He was scolded by Dawson citizens every day, and he didn't even dare to return home. Is it alright? All this is caused by you bastard!
Although hated to his bones, Rick had to squeeze a smile that was uglier than crying, and said the purpose of the trip.
"Steven, this gold nugget is really important to us. Whether Dawson or Canada, we want to buy back this gold nugget and bring it back to Dawson.
We have come with sincerity and are going to use 60 million US dollars to buy back this nugget gold. As long as you withdraw the auction, we will be able to trade immediately.
The Canadian Ministry of Mines still pays the money in one lump sum. You don't have to worry about it, how about it? This condition is very good, think about it!"
Ye Tian answered very simply, smashing the Canadian fantasy in an instant.
"Excuse me! Rick! Your conditions are indeed very good and very attractive, but I still plan to send this nugget gold to the New York autumn auction.
You can participate in the auction and compete with others, maybe the winner is you, then you can bring this gold nugget back to Canada!"
Rick and the others were angry in an instant, and their anger was about to explode.
Everyone understands that this piece of gold nugget has completely missed Dawson. The New York autumn auction will compete with others. What will it compete with?
Competitors are either super gold companies or billionaires. Even if you sell Dawson, you can't fight these super predators!
In despair, Rick could no longer suppress his anger, and directly began to curse in a low voice.
"Steven, you total bastard, robber! This nugget belongs to Dawson!"
Facing the attack, Ye Tian immediately counterattacked fiercely.
"Rick! You are the mayor of Dawson, you should know the law. The ownership of this nugget belongs to me. There is no doubt that it came from Dawson. I never deny that.
I am a professional treasure hunter and a businessman. The maximization of profit is my golden rule, which will never be violated. You are ready to participate in the auction. Goodbye!"
After speaking, he pulled Betty around the Canadians and continued to move forward.
Behind them, an angry swear sounded, and these Canadians can only swear, they can't do anything with him!
"My dear, 60 million is already a lot, why not sell them? These people are here on behalf of Canada, and they have a lot of energy. Will rejecting them affect your actions in Canada!?"
Betty whispered, she was a little worried, and a little stunned by the $60 million.
"Don't worry! That kind of thing won't happen. As long as I don't break the law, no one will take me wrong. Even if the Canadian government wants to frame it, it is not so easy.
US$60 million is not the highest price. Since they can ask me to withdraw the auction at this price, then this gold nugget will definitely be able to sell a higher price, far more than US$60 million!
I was worried about setting the reserve price, but I did not expect them to give me inspiration. I decided to set the reserve price of this nugget gold at $60 million!
If no one bids more than this amount at the auction, it would be nice to have Canadians take them home. Canadians might still thank me!"
Ye Tian said lightly, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth.
"Hehehe, you are too bad! If Canadians know the reserve price, they will hate you more!"
Betty laughed in a low voice, and gently punched Ye Tian's arm.
"Hahaha, even if they don't know, they hate me to death, but what can they do? Could they still bite me?"
Ye Tian smiled recklessly, very proud!
Seeing him look like this, the Canadians in the back hate so much that their eyes are almost bloody!
...
"Steven, let me introduce you. This is Lewis, the head of Impressionist oil painting at the Metropolitan Museum, and this is Allen, the head of Impressionist oil painting at the Museum of Modern Art."
Simon walked over with two white men in their fifties and introduced them to Ye Tian.
"Gentlemen, good morning, I'm Steven, nice to meet you!"
Ye Tian greeted them politely, and then introduced Betty, very decent.
After a few greetings, Lewis immediately touched on the subject.
"Steven, can these two Paul Cézanne oil paintings be sold? We really want to put them in the museum and show them to the public so that people can appreciate the artistic charm of Paul Cézanne at any time!"
After speaking, he looked at Ye Tian hopefully, hoping to get an affirmative answer.
He has already visited two oil paintings, and made preliminary visual identification through high-definition bullet-proof glass, and they are basically sure to be genuine.
And he also trusts Sotheby's appraisal very much, it is definitely the top level in the industry, there is no doubt at all.
Therefore, he will come to talk about this deal.
Ye Tian was not surprised by his request.
As long as the museum personnel appear here today, I am afraid they all have this purpose, not a simple visit.
But no matter which museum you are, if you want a buddy's oil painting, you have to use real money to talk, and everything else doesn't work!
After a short pause, he replied with a smile.
"You can take part in the New York autumn auction. By then, defeat all competitors and bring these two oil paintings back to the Metropolitan Museum. What a perfect result!"
Slick! If the Metropolitan Museum can easily defeat those billionaires and well-known collectors, why would it come to you? Wouldn't it be over if we go directly to the auction!
After murmuring secretly, Lewis continued.
"Steven, you may not understand what I mean. Our museum has a limited budget for purchasing art, and we can't spend too much money to compete with those billionaires.
So we hope that you can withdraw the auction and transfer these two art treasures to the Metropolitan Museum at a relatively low price. Do you think that would work?"
"Excuse me! Mr. Lewis, I am not going to withdraw the auction. If Metropolitan Museum is really interested in these two oil paintings, then please participate in the New York autumn auction!"
Ye Tian shook his head and rejected the other party, leaving no room at all.
At this point, he definitely can't continue.
With a casual perfunctory sentence, Lewis said goodbye, looking very ugly.
Allen of the Museum of Modern Art also came with this idea. Seeing Lewis being poked back, he didn't even mention it, and soon left.
He knew it very well, and it was no use to mention it!
Steven, this bastard loves money so much that he will not let go of a dollar.
Later, people from several museums came in.
They all want to win these two oil paintings and they all want Ye Tian to carry forward the style and transfer them to them at a low price.
In addition, there are two other museums that intended to encourage Ye Tian to donate for free, and their reward is just a free visit for the rest of their lives.
Regarding these, Ye Tian poked back, and also left no leeway, bluntly letting them bid at the auction, there is no other possibility!
Next, Ye Tian stayed in the exhibition hall, chatting and communicating with many well-known collectors, billionaires, and appraisal experts on the spot, rapidly expanding his contacts.
These are all potential customers. As a professional treasure hunter, you can't let go of this opportunity to meet.
Time soon arrived at noon.
The preview went smoothly without any problems, which made Ye Tian rest assured.
At twelve o'clock, he left Sotheby's with Betty and returned to his apartment.
After that, he only needs to come back again at the end of the preview, remove the three lots from the platform and send them back to the lot warehouse, and the preview can end perfectly!
