Chapter 1041 The Dauntless
"boom!"
The auction hammer fell heavily and there was a loud noise.
Immediately afterwards, the auctioneer's passionate voice resounded from the stage, resounding throughout the auction hall.
"Two hundred and eighty-two million dollars, a deal! The winning bidder is the buyer holding the bidding card No. 9. Congratulations to these gentlemen from Harvard University for taking this "General Sherman's March Notes"!"
Before the auctioneer's voice fell, the scholars from Harvard University who were sitting in the second row of seats jumped up excitedly and started cheering and celebrating.
"Great! Finally let us take down this important historical document!"
"I can't wait to open that notebook and see what that ruthless Sherman did in the South! How did he destroy the South!"
While they were cheering and celebrating, other buyers who participated in the competition for this important historical document could only shake their heads in disappointment, with bitter expressions on their faces! Regret filled his eyes.
A crime other than war!
Harvard University is really too rich, and they are not stingy, adding five million to five million dollars, dollars are like waste paper in their mouths, they have no value and can be swayed at will!
Such a crazy competitor, who the hell can't resist him!
After a short period of disappointment, many buyers at the scene all stood up and gave warm applause to Harvard University, which had the last laugh, and behaved very gracefully.
Ye Tian and Betty also stood up, turned around and congratulated the scholars from Harvard University, congratulating them for defeating all competitors and successfully winning this important historical document.
Those from Harvard University also congratulated him,
Congratulations to him for harvesting a large fortune.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian nodded to those from Columbia University's School of History, and lightly shrugged his shoulders, expressing his helplessness!
This is a fair competition. The reason why you didn't win this "General Sherman's Marching Notes" is that you are not strong enough and can't do it for others. You can't blame my buddies!
So far, this special auction of American history and culture has come to a successful conclusion and the curtain has come to an end.
In this special auction, Ye Tian was undoubtedly the biggest winner, his smile was brighter than anyone else's! Also very proud!
In addition to "General Sherman's Marching Notes", he also had two oil paintings by famous American modern painters, which also appeared on the stage at this auction, and they were sold under the hammer and sold out smoothly.
Each of these three lots fetched sky-high prices, bringing him a huge wealth of US$345 million in total, creating a new record since the beginning of the spring auction season in New York!
And this is just a small climax, the real carnival has not yet begun!
On the same night, another heavyweight auction kicked off, "Evening Auction of European Impressionist Art from the Mid-19th Century to the Early 20th Century".
In this evening auction, several top artworks sent by Ye Tian made their debut one after another, appearing at the auction site and in front of many bidders.
These are four oil paintings, respectively by Pissarro, Manet, Sisley, and Degas, four Impressionist art masters. They are well-deserved top-level works of art, and each one is worth a lot of money!
Seeing the appearance of these top artworks, the auction scene immediately boiled up, and quickly pushed the evening auction of Impressionist art to a climax.
Next, there were several fierce and unusual competitions, and the biggest beneficiary was still Ye Tian who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Through this evening auction, Ye Tian once again raked in a huge amount of wealth, and the four top artworks were sold for a total of 115 million US dollars.
In just one day, Ye Tian swept away a huge fortune of 460 million US dollars in the New York spring auction market. The exaggeration of the amount and the large amount of handwriting have never been seen before!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a huge commotion. Almost everyone was stunned by the shock, and their jealous eyes turned red!
The next morning, Ye Tian's another 'Caribbean Shipwreck Treasure Special Auction' kicked off, this time at Bonhams Auction House, not the previous Christie's.
Like the previous special auction, the items appearing in this auction are all antique works of art, gemstones of various colors, and other gold and silver treasures selected from the treasures of shipwrecks in the Caribbean Sea.
Most of the lots come from the treasures of the shipwreck of the Malaga Princess, each of which is a boutique and of great value!
The auction went very smoothly. These treasures, which have been sleeping in the depths of the sea for hundreds of years, are still dazzling, and are enthusiastically sought after by many buyers at the scene.
In particular, gemstones of various colors that appear in batches and are of excellent quality are the objects of zealous pursuit by major jewelry companies and many luxury brands, and the competition is fierce.
For them, this is the best time to hoard gems. An opportunity like this can only come across once in many years, how can they miss it!
There is no doubt that this was another successful dedicated auction.
Most of the items that appeared in this auction were successfully sold, and only a few gold and silver products failed to be auctioned, which was completely irrelevant.
Through this special shooting, Ye Tian and the brave and fearless exploration company once again swept a huge fortune, and once again shocked the attention of the whole world.
In the next few days, all kinds of antique artworks from Ye Tian and the Fearless Exploration Company continued to appear in the auction rooms of major auction houses in New York, harvesting dollars again and again!
In one of the auctions, An Siyuan's most cherished emerald ring was also successfully auctioned. The transaction price was 15 million US dollars, and the estimated price was nearly 5 million US dollars!
The buyer of this top-level emerald ring is a famous antique dealer from London, England. He is An Siyuan's best friend for many years, and he is inseparable from each other!
The reason why he photographed this emerald ring was to commemorate his old friend, lest this emerald ring fall into the hands of others. This is also a good story and won a lot of applause.
When the spring auction season in New York was in full swing, the deep sea salvage ship Ye Tian ordered, the "Dreadnought", finally completed its construction and conducted scientific and rigorous sea trials.
After confirming that there were no problems, the deep-sea salvage ship worth 50 to 60 million dollars began its maiden voyage, heading straight to New York from the construction site.
When it arrived at New York Harbor smoothly, it was already May 10th!
This time is just right, and in the next period of time, everyone can just get acquainted with this deep-sea salvage ship, and add various deep-sea salvage equipment, high-tech exploration equipment and so on.
According to Ye Tian's estimation, after all the equipment is fully equipped and it is built into the most advanced and safest deep-sea salvage ship, it will cost tens of millions of dollars, at least!
Fortunately, he has no shortage of dollars in his pocket, as much as he wants! I am also willing to make it, so naturally I don't care about this expensive configuration fee.
On the day the deep-sea salvage ship 'Intrepid Bravery' arrived in New York, Ye Tian boarded the ship himself, and used his perspective ability to give the salvage ship the most thorough medical examination.
On this large ship that has just been built, he did not find any safety hazards. The hull is quite strong, and it is a ship that is very suitable for long-distance sailing. The inspection results are satisfactory.
Afterwards, Ye Tian handed over to the representative of the shipyard and completed the delivery procedures.
Next, the company's high-paid captain, many crew members, and some technicians boarded the ship one after another to get familiar with the deep-sea salvage ship and prepare for the treasure hunting operation on Cocos Island in mid-to-late June.
At the same time, the two small submarines ordered in advance by the company, several underwater robots of different depths, a brand-new Bell medium-sized helicopter, and other high-tech exploration equipment began to board the ship one after another and took their places.
The same goes for all kinds of deep-sea salvage equipment, and they also started to board the ship for installation and debugging, and integrated with this salvage ship to give full play to their existence value!
Fast forward to May 12th, another heavyweight auction is coming, and Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" is about to debut!
After this auction is over, Ye Tian will fly to San Jose, Costa Rica, to sign a cooperation agreement to jointly explore Cocos Island!
That will cause another huge sensation, shocking the eyes of countless people! ...
