Capítulo 423: Chapter 423: Blatant
"The special thing about this set of antique furniture is that someone found a very important historical document in the foot of this desk, the most authentic first-hand information about the history of the American Civil War.
Many people present should know the origin of this set of furniture. This is the antique set of furniture where Steven found out the General Sherman's march notebook. It is very memorable and worthy of collection!
The authenticity and importance of this march notebook is beyond doubt! Not only the video at the time of discovery can prove it, but the paper just published by Professor Kane, an American history expert at Columbia University can also prove it!"
The auctioneer Brad continued to introduce the lot, the voice was very clear and resounded through the audience.
At the same time as the introduction, he also stretched out his hand and gestured towards Ye Tian, indicating Ye Tian's existence.
Following his gestures, almost everyone looked at Ye Tian, eyes full of envy.
Of course, there are also people who hate that the roots of their teeth are itchy and their eyes spit out fire!
Almost all of these people are from the South of the United States, and they have an unforgettable hatred for General Sherman. By the way, even Ye Tian they hates!
While paying attention to Ye Tian, everyone was talking in a low voice.
"It's impossible to take this furniture at a low price. With Steven's sinister and cunning style, he will definitely arrange for someone to drive up the price and extract the value of this furniture to the maximum!"
"No way! Who makes this piece of furniture belong to that bastard! If you want to get it, you must be slaughtered! This is an unsolvable proposition!"
Brad didn't pause at all, he still kept exaggerating the importance of this set of furniture, bewitching more bidders to participate in the upcoming auction, the crazier the better!
The enchantment obviously played a role, many people are already eager to try, staring at the antique furniture on the big screen, their eyes are very hot and they look like they are inevitable!
And Ye Tian, the owner of this antique furniture, was smiling positively at this time, chatting with a few people around him, with a relaxed expression, just waiting to harvest dollars.
"Ye Tian, it seems that your popularity here is not very good! How many people did you mess with? Just this time, I saw several gnashing teeth and red eyes staring at you!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Liu is right. I have seen several of them. It seems that some of the rumors are true. You is indeed full of enemies in America!"
The people next to each other joked in a low voice and laughed happily.
"The buddies are more outdated, there are indeed many enemies, but what can they do? They can bite me! I'm afraid they don't have such good teeth!
Sherman dug the ancestral grave of the southern whites of the United States. This march notebook happened to record that period of history, so, these guys hate this guy!"
Ye Tian smiled and explained in a low voice, with a dismissive expression on his face.
After listening to these words, Ma Weidu and the others sighed with emotion.
Just this guy! For other Chinese in the United States, who would dare to play so well?
The vast majority of Chinese Americans have been cautious throughout their lives, for fear of making mistakes, they will always be in a disadvantaged position and their right to speak is worse than blacks!
Now suddenly there was such a strong guy, high-profile, ostentatious, never afraid, cruel, insidious and cunning. He was totally out of the ordinary, making everyone stunned!
Although this guy behavior is a bit deviant and unconventional, he is indeed very uplifting! People have to secretly give a thumbs up and praise.
After chatting a few more words, Mr. Liu smiled and asked:
"Ye Tian, do you want we raise the price for you? We are good at doing this!"
"No, my antiques have a reserve price, which is similar to the market price. No one can take advantage of me. Everyone can sit and watch the theater. These Yankees will raise the price!"
Ye Tian shook his head and said confidently.
"Hahaha"
Several people laughed, ready to sit on the wall and watch.
Then, Ma Weidu smiled and joked:
"You are too cunning! You don't have a loss at all. It seems that to the Chinese porcelain special be acquired, we will be slaughtered by you too!"
"That's it! There will be decent Chinese antiques in the future. I will send you some pictures and videos directly. We will not go through Sotheby's. It will definitely save a lot of money!"
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice.
While talking, Brad had finished the introduction and the auction started.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price of this antique furniture is 80,000 U.S. dollars and the minimum increase in the asking price shall not be less than 3,000 U.S. dollars. The bidding starts, 80,000 U.S. dollars, 80,000 U.S. dollars, does anyone bid?"
Brady yelled out loud and quickly, his voice full of passion!
At the same time, his head began to keep turning left and right, his eyes patrolling the audience to see if there were any bidders raising placards and asking prices.
The assistants standing on both sides of the auction table also watched the situation closely, ready to remind Brad at any time so as not to miss the bidder's offer.
Just as Brad reported the starting price, someone immediately raised the bidding number plate. It was a white man in his fifties sitting in the front row.
"OK! Someone responds to the price of 80,000 US dollars. It is Mr. Irwin on the 25th. Thank you very much. The current price is 83,000 US dollars and 83,000 US dollars. Which gentleman or lady responds?"
Brad stretched out his hand and gestured towards the stage, and pointed to the position of bidder No. 25 and said loudly.
Bidder No. 25 should be a regular customer of Sotheby's auction, or a famous collector, often participating in various auctions, so Brad knows this.
Brad's voice did not stop for a moment and the new price was quickly announced, speaking at a speed as fast as a machine gun.
"90 thousand dollars, Brad!"
A loud voice came out, resounding throughout the auction hall!
Someone took the initiative to raise prices, showing their determination to win and fierce competition began!
This is exactly what Ye Tian wants to see most. The more bidders the better, the crazier the better!
When the voice came, he immediately turned his head and looked at the bidder behind him. He was a white man in his sixties. Needless to say, he must be an American!
When he saw this, Ye Tian nodded at the other side friendly, and the other side responded.
"Mr. 149 raised the price to 90,000 U.S. dollars. It is very generous. Now it is 95,000 U.S. dollars and 95,000 U.S. dollars. Does anyone respond? This is antique furniture that carried a period of American history. Don't miss it!"
Brad's voice resounded through the auction hall, full of passion.
While quoting, he kept bewitching many bidders.
Another person asked for a price. It was an online offer. A Sotheby's staff member standing in front of the computer raised the bidding number plate.
In the blink of an eye, competition has gradually heated up, and more and more people are participating in bidding.
In a round of bidding, the price of this antique furniture was continuously pushed up and quickly approached the reserve price set by Ye Tian. Sooner or later it would be a matter of breaking through the reserve price!
"Ye Tian, looking at the current situation, this set of furniture will definitely be able to sell at a very good price. You are going to make a fortune. Congratulations in advance!"
Ma Weidu smiled and said in a low voice, clasped his fists and arched his hands to show congratulations!
The others also followed suit and gave their congratulations.
"This scene is in my expectation, but it's not hot enough, buddies, let's add more fire, let the competition become more fierce, that's fun!"
Ye Tian said with a triumphant smile, he was ready to raise the price.
Although the current bidding situation is fierce, there is no substantial price increase. Everyone is more rational and the increase is not large. Except for the one who raised the price at the beginning, there has been no active price increase again!
If you proceed along this path, this set of furniture will definitely not be too expensive!
Someone needs to come forward to stimulate and it is best to make some bidders lose their rationality and start bidding wildly!
Since you are all rational, I will give you some excitement!
However, as a client, Ye Tian can't bid for the antiques he has commissioned, only Betty can hold the card!
Although everyone knows the relationship between Betty and him! But what can they do even though they know it? Everyone has nothing! After all, they are not married, not a legally recognized spouse relationship.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be done more, just once or twice, so as not to arouse public anger and be boycotted by all bidders!
When entering the field, Ye Tian and Betty each received a bidding number plate, which was prepared for this moment.
"My dear, you are going to raise a placard and bid for 180,000 US dollars directly and then let other bidders bite, let's just wait for the money!"
Ye Tian whispered to Betty, smiling very brightly.
US$180,000 is the reserve price he set. As long as it exceeds this price, the transaction can be made. If a higher price can be sold, it would be better!
"Awesome! I wanted to experience the feeling of raising a price at an auction. It must be great!"
Betty nodded quickly, her excited eyes shining straight.
"Now it is 160,000 US dollars, 160,000 US dollars, who will accept this price? The opportunity is not lost!"
Brad's voice never stopped and in a blink of an eye it was a new price.
The audience raised an arm high, holding a bidding number plate in his hand.
At the same time, everyone heard a clear and sweet voice, with excitement.
"180,000 dollars, Brad!"
Betty shouted loudly, her voice resounding throughout the auction hall.
"Wow! There is another competitor and she raised $20,000 as soon as she shot it! The handwriting is not small! It seems that she must win!"
While marveling, people turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, wanting to see who the bidder was.
However, when everyone saw the face of this bidder, everyone was stunned, a little confused!
This also includes the auctioneer Brad on the auction stage! Just as dumbfounded!
Isn't that Steven bastard's girlfriend? Why is she bidding? What kind of trick is this? Can she still play like this?
In an instant, everyone woke up!
Don't ask, it must be Steven damn bastard who instigated her, who was bidding his antique furniture! Prepare to pit everyone together!
Thinking of this, the auction hall immediately became agitated and there were loud discussions.
"Fuck! What a cruel bastard, he even bids for the antique furniture he sent to auction and he is so blatant, so cheeky!"
"No wonder people call him an auction house villain! As expected, no matter who takes down this set of furniture today, he will have to bleed heavily and be slaughtered by this bastard!"
Amidst the discussion, everyone stared at Ye Tian closely and every look was very unfriendly.
Especially for those bidders who are determined to win this set of furniture, they bit their posterior teeth and looked at Ye Tian viciously, wishing to come up and beat him up to relieve their hatred!
But Ye Tian, who was under the gaze of everyone, was like a okay person, chatting with Betty with a calm expression and a relaxed expression, without caring about other people's eyes!
Ma Weidu and the others, who were sitting next to him, were all reddened at this time, wishing they could hurry away from Ye Tian, tolding everyone that they did not know that guy!
Anyhow, he should cover it up! Even if he change our bid to raise the price, it is better than asking his girlfriend to raise the price! This is too blatant!
At the same time, they were a little bit dumbfounded.
This kid is so blatant! No one is so stingy! He is not afraid of being an enemy of the whole world, it is just a monster! No wonder there are enemies everywhere!
Brad wakes up, he doesn't care about anyone asking for it!
As long as it does not violate the auction rules and does not disrupt the on-site order, the higher the auction price, the higher the commission! He doesn't care about the others.
Soon, Brad's gun-like voice rang again.
"US$180,000, from Ms. 62, it seems that Mr. Steven has high expectations for this set of antique furniture, so he asked his girlfriend to offer US$180,000."
Ye Tian did not refute these words, but shook his head slightly, saying that he did not agree with Brad's statement!
Although everyone knows what's going on, superficial skills are still indispensable and cannot be taught!
Seeing his movements, everyone couldn't help rolling their eyes!
This bastard is really out of treatment!
Brad's voice did not stop for a moment and another new offer was released!
The competition continues, getting more and more fierce!
