บท 668: 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, what gentleman will ask for the price? Is it time to sell!"
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 over there, smiling and saying loudly:
"Welcome, Mr. Davis of 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 anymore, 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 auction that everyone is most willing to participate in.
There is no support bidders arranged by auction houses or art owners, nor are there any ill-intentioned bid-ups or other shameless means!
Everyone has real money in their pockets to fight on the basis of 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% auction commissions, 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 clamored for the price and directly raised $3 million, which was a bit of a certain momentum!
The bidder was the art dealer of Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico, a middle-aged Hispanic man.
Hearing the quotation, everyone at the scene turned their heads and looked over there.
It was him who bid the offer. The other people who were interested in Greco's oil painting suddenly became more solemn!
As we all know, Carlos loves top art from Spain very much and has collected many masterpieces!
Among them are the works of top modern and contemporary art masters such as Picasso and Dali, as well as the masterpieces of classical art masters such as Velázquez and Greco.
Now that his art broker will participate in the competition, there is no doubt that he will be the most powerful competitor and everyone's most important opponent!
At this time, Ye Tian immediately burst into ecstasy, and he was almost dancing with excitement!
Awesome! The biggest fat sheep is here! Who is worthy of be slaughter?
This Greco oil painting can 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. He continued to quote passionately, and 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 offer 37 million U.S. dollars. The latest price is 39 million U.S. dollars, 39 million U.S. dollars. Gentlemen, be careful."
Ye Tian's passionate voice came again, bewitching everyone as best he could, wishing to take out every penny in everyone's pockets.
The auction continued, and the quotations kept rising and rising. The competition became more and more fierce, and the atmosphere on the spot became more and more popular!
In a blink of an eye, the quotation for 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? Greco's paintings seem to have never been sold for 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 should 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 obtaining this painting is undoubtedly the highest, as high as 10 million US dollars, unprecedented!
In their opinion, Ye Tian would use this top oil painting to make a fortune, but the auction price of 50 million US dollars are their expectative!
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.
Their own ambition and imagination are still very limited, maybe this is one of the places that they are 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 in assets; the other is a Mexican telecommunications giant worth sixty to seventy billion dollars, and the second 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 begins, and the winner will soon be known!
The rest of the people have already withdrawn from the competition, and he 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 so ruthless!"
Marquez smiled and cursed.
"Hahaha, this is a good suggestion, I will consider it! How about it, 105 million US dollars, accept this price? If you don't accept it, I will slam the hammer!"
Ye Tian laughed and joked, and immediately returned to the topic, with green light in his eyes and dollar signs in his eyes.
Marquez nodded affirmatively, and said categorically:
"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 ocean!"
"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 Tian a personal attack.
Obviously, this is almost reaching the limit of his tolerance.
As soon as the voice fell here, 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 slightly, with disappointment and regret in his eyes.
Ye Tian could clearly see everything happening in front of him, but he didn't say anything to interfere.
The quotation of Greco Oil Painting reached 125 million US dollars, which has far exceeded expectations.
These famous collectors and art brokers at the scene will be his own long-term customers in the future, and they must maintain a good relationship. They cannot do one-shot transactions!
After a short pause, he immediately looked at Leon and said loudly:
"Marquez quoted 125 million U.S. dollars, now 130 million U.S. dollars, 130 million U.S. dollars, Leon, can make a move, take this price? The opportunity is not to be missed."
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, I quit! Congratulations, Marquez, for won such top art!
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 sudden burst of laughter.
Everyone on the scene laughed loudly, and almost lifted the ceiling of this suite!
