Chapter 1580 Sweeping the New York Autumn Auction Season

Not long after the White House press conference ended, a group of Sotheby's auction house came to the company first, and they were all familiar old friends.

After welcoming the other party into the company conference room and exchanging a few polite greetings, Larry, Sotheby's head of jewelry, said with great expectation:

"Steven, just before I left the auction house, I saw the White House's public statement on TV. I didn't expect that you not only invited the Pope to officiate the wedding, but also invited Mr. President. The scene is too big.

I would like to ask, can I bring my family to attend the wedding day? To tell you the truth, when I heard that the Pope is coming, my wife is so excited that she can hardly sleep, and she is extremely eager to see His Majesty the Pope."

Not only Larry, but also several other old friends from Sotheby's auction house at the scene. Who would not want to bring their family members to this wedding that must be highly anticipated by everyone!

Hearing Larry's words, the others immediately turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, ​​expecting his answer, their eyes were extremely hot.

Ye Tian glanced at these people, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course there is no problem, as long as the friends who have received the wedding invitation letter from me and Betty can bring their partners to Boston to attend the wedding ceremony, we are very welcome.

But everyone can only bring their partner, not their children. The church venue for the wedding is limited, and the number of invited guests is large, so some restrictive measures must be taken.

Because the pope and the president will attend the wedding, and there are many other important people, the security check at the scene must be very strict, and it will be inconvenient to bring children."

"We understand this, Steven, as long as you can bring your partner to the wedding, then I will be able to do business when I go back. I believe my wife will be ecstatic when she hears the news!

You are right, this wedding between you and Betty is different from other weddings, it is indeed not suitable to bring children to participate, those little guys are really too naughty, maybe they will cause trouble! "

Larry said excitedly, wishing he could immediately take out his phone and tell his wife the good news.

The rest of those guys are the same, all of them are beaming with joy.

Then we chatted for a while about the wedding, the Pope, and other things, and then we got to the point and started discussing the New York autumn auction season that had already begun.

The first to speak out was Greg, the sales director of Sotheby's auction house.

"Steven,

The Asian Art Week auction has just ended. Based on the sales of Sotheby's and other major auction houses, it is no surprise that you have once again become the biggest winner.

In just a few auctions at our Sotheby's, more than a dozen pieces of antique artwork entrusted by your company were sold, and the transaction price was very satisfactory, with a total turnover of nearly 100 million US dollars.

In addition to you, a new professional treasure hunter named Bowie in New York has also made a lot of gains. According to our preliminary statistics, he is the second seller after you.

That guy has a lot of valuable Asian antique artworks in his hands, and he has distributed them to various auction houses. He made a lot of money during the Asian Art Week in the autumn auction season! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian and David immediately looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

The biggest winner is me, and the second place is my buddy! Bowie was nothing more than a cover, and the antique works of art that flowed out of his hands, without exception, all belonged to buddies!

However, these old friends from the Sotheby's auction house don't know the mystery, they are all kept in the dark and confused at the moment!

The same goes for other auction houses in New York. They all began to pay attention to the newly-emerged Texas cowboy, but they didn't even know that Ye Tian was standing behind that Texas cowboy!

After a short pause, Greg continued:

“After Asian Art Week ended, this year’s autumn auction season in New York really reached its climax, and it happened that you also came back from Europe and brought back a large number of top antique artworks.

Next, we can carry out deeper cooperation and bring more top-level antique artworks to the market. Many collectors are ready to fight!

Especially what you gained from this trip to Europe is the focus of attention of the entire auction market and all top collectors. Everyone is waiting for you to release those treasures, so let’s compete! "

As soon as his words fell, the director of the ancient art department of Egypt and West Asia immediately said:

"That's right, Steven, for example, the golden crown you salvaged from the bottom of the English Channel and the golden mask of the ancient Egyptian cat god Best have attracted the attention of many top collectors.

If those two top-level antiques are sent to the auction, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, attracting countless top collectors and even related countries to compete, and it is likely to create a new transaction record!

At the end of October, we at Sotheby’s have a special auction of ancient Egyptian and West Asian cultural relics. If you can entrust us with those two top-level antiques, we will definitely give you the most satisfactory result.”

After finishing speaking, the buddy looked at Ye Tian expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Erwin, this is a very good suggestion. I'm willing to consider it. Anyway, I don't plan to collect the ancient Egyptian cat god Best's gold mask and the golden crown.

According to my estimation, the golden mask of the cat god came from the tomb nine out of ten, and the golden crown was looted by Rommel. How many people's blood may be stained and how many innocent souls are attached to it!

This kind of antique art is not included in my collection, even if they are very precious and have great research value, I feel unlucky, of course, the top Chinese antique art is another matter!

I haven't had time to study the golden crown yet. After my wedding with Betty is over and I return to New York from Boston, I will look for relevant experts and start studying the golden crown.

Wait until the secret of the golden crown is revealed, and then look at the specific situation. If there is no need to keep it secret, I will talk to you about the entrusted auction. The special auction will be at the end of October, so there is no time."

"Well then, Steven, I look forward to hearing from you"

Erwin nodded and said, somewhat disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, the director of the European Classical Painting Department jumped out again, trying to collect several top-level works of art from Ye Tian, ​​and add a few heavyweight items to his department's special auction!

This buddy is mainly staring at the top artworks from Napoleon's treasures, such as the works of Renaissance art masters such as Titian, Masaccio, and Dürer.

Once the paintings of those master artists appear in the art market or in the auction venue, they will definitely cause a huge sensation, attracting countless top collectors to bid wildly!

And this is exactly what Sotheby's auction house wants to see the most. Of course, Ye Tian is no exception!

Same as how he dealt with Erwin before, Ye Tian neither agreed to the other party nor explicitly refused. He pushed back the time for negotiating the entrusted auction and asked the other party to wait patiently for a while.

In fact, in Sotheby's auction of European classical paintings in late October, many items were collected from Ye Tian, ​​and the most important finale item belonged to him!

Just as Ye Tian and his group were meeting with Sotheby's, representatives from Christie's and Bonhams had also arrived at the company.

However, they could only wait in the company rest area, full of anticipation and apprehension!

More than half an hour later, the Sotheby's team just walked out of the meeting room, shook hands with Ye Tian and David, and left the brave and fearless exploration company!

When they left the company, each of them had a big smile on their face and was very excited!

There was no other reason why they were so excited, because Greg had an extra envelope in his briefcase, and that envelope contained a list of a long list of valuable antique works of art!

Needless to say, Ye Tian is going to entrust those antique works of art to Sotheby's auction house, so that they will be put on the market one after another during this year's New York autumn auction season!

Without exception, each of those antique works of art is valuable and has extraordinary artistic value.

Ye Tian still has several copies of the same list of antique works of art, which are prepared for major auction houses such as Christie's and Bonhams. You can't favor one over another!

After the group from Sotheby's Auction House left, Ye Tian called several old friends from Christie's Auction House into the meeting room!

After some courteous greetings, another round of talks began. In these talks one after another, the tone of this year's New York autumn auction season has been quietly set!

This went on and on again, and when it was approaching five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and the others finally finished their work and relaxed.

Next, it's time to go to the banquet hall on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel on Fifty-ninth Street, enjoy a grand celebration dinner, and raise a glass to celebrate!
