After a small episode, the auction continued.

The atmosphere on the scene is getting hotter and hotter, and people's emotions are getting higher and higher.

2.66 million, a deal! The winning bidder is No. 83, Mr. Yang from Hangzhou, congratulations, you won this Northern Song Dynasty Jian Kiln Rabbit Teacup, this may be the teacup used by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty! ..."

As the auction hammer fell again and again, and with Ye Tian's passionate voice, pieces of top antique artworks were successfully auctioned one after another, changing owners.

As the original owner, while losing these antique works of art, Ye Tian gained a lot of money.

His personal wealth is increasing crazily at an astonishing speed! Unstoppable like a torrent!

Of course, this is wealth in name only.

Only after the auction is over and the delivery procedures are completed, will the wealth truly belong to him and become a set of numbers on his bank account!

During the auction, the people in the exhibition hall behaved differently, with all kinds of emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, joy, all kinds of emotions, which can be seen and experienced here!

If someone gets what they want, they will naturally cheer and celebrate.

But while they were cheering and celebrating, those opponents who competed in the same field were extremely disappointed, each one was full of remorse, and their eyes were full of regret.

Everyone who failed deeply hated themselves for being too cautious and not letting go of their hands and feet, so that those favorite treasures slipped past their eyes and became others' possessions.

Especially those people whose quotations were almost the same as the final transaction price, beat their chests with regret, and wished they could turn back time and bid again!

Even for a seasoned collector like Ma Ye, it is inevitable that he will stumble.

The Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln bile vase he took a fancy to,

He was cut off halfway by others, and the transaction price was only 100,000 RMB higher than his quotation, and the difference was extremely small!

When he saw the highest quotation, Ye Tian helplessly shrugged his shoulders at Mr. Ma, expressing that there was nothing he could do!

As for Ma Ye, who was sitting under the stage, he could only smile wryly and depressedly, and there was nothing he could do.

Even if he insisted on taking this Longquan kiln gall bottle, he could only wait for the auction to end before negotiating with the successful bidder to see if he was willing to transfer it.

At the auction, the result has already been determined, and the gods cannot change it.

Master Ma was definitely not the only one who missed and was depressed on the spot!

A calligraphy and painting work that several cultural and museum experts in the Forbidden City were optimistic about and planned to include in the Palace Museum was also cut off halfway.

It was an ink and wash landscape painting by Xia Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty. The transaction price was as high as 56.5 million yuan, which was more than 5 million yuan higher than their quotation, and they had no strength to fight back!

Although this ink landscape painting by Xia Gui of the Southern Song Dynasty is also a top-level artwork, it is fortunate that it is not the main goal of the Forbidden City. Even if it misses, it is not too much of a pity!

But this also reminded them that in today's exhibition hall, there are absolutely hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and many people's pockets are bottomless, which is frightening!

The bidding for the next few goals must be done with caution and thoughtfulness, otherwise, it is really possible to return empty-handed today, a waste of time!

That kind of situation is something they never want to face. There are several top-level antique works of art, and they are bound to get them.

In particular, Li Cheng, one of the three masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, is a treasure that must not be missed, otherwise they will not be able to do business when they return to the Forbidden City.

While speaking, another antique appeared on the big screen.

As soon as this antique appeared, there was a lot of discussion at the scene.

"Ye Tian has a lot of energy! He actually got the permission to auction bronze wares, or he didn't even know that bronze wares are not allowed to be auctioned in China!"

"With this kid's impeccable style of conduct, how could he not know this rule? This bronze ware is a return cultural relic, maybe it can really be auctioned!"

"Even if it can be auctioned, there are probably not many people bidding, except for those museums! Bronze wares are generally from before the Han Dynasty, and most of them are national first-class or even special-grade cultural relics.

There are several inscriptions on the body of this bronze 'gu', a proper first-class cultural relic! No matter who it falls into, it is not allowed to enter the market again, and it can only be collected by yourself! "

Among the discussions, Ye Tian's voice came again.

"Everyone should know something about the bronze on the big screen. This is the bronze that was stolen from the Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990, goblet!

I found this bronze ware during a treasure hunt in Boston before, and then through the exchange method, I took this bronze ware as my own and brought it back to China.

In view of the domestic cultural relics policy, in principle, the circulation and trading of bronze ware are not allowed, so I do not intend to auction this bronze ware today.

This bronze ware can be auctioned abroad, and I believe it can be sold at a high price, but I don't want this very important bronze ware to continue to be lost overseas.

Then someone at the scene will definitely ask, since it is not going to be auctioned, why is this bronze ware brought to this auction? Isn't it superfluous?

The reason why I put it on the auction and displayed it in front of everyone is because I want to take this opportunity to donate this bronze with great research value to a museum! "

“Ah! Free donations! Did I hear that right!”

There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was frightened! He stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, eyes full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his eyes and ears.

Is this still the Ye Tian I know? Isn't this kid always known for being extremely greedy?

Especially in the auction field, he is even more ruthless, no one can take advantage of him!

About this point, everyone has just seen it with their own eyes! No doubt!

As for the reserve prices he set for the top antique artworks in the display area, which one is not close to the current market price, the space left for everyone is really very limited.

If it wasn't for a private auction and there was no need to pay a huge commission of 20%; if it wasn't for the fact that these antique works of art are so outstanding, many people would probably have given up!

What's wrong now? This kid actually donates for free! Is the sun coming out in the west?

Although due to the domestic cultural relics policy, the auction price of bronze wares has fallen again and again in recent years, and it cannot be compared with antique porcelain and calligraphy and painting artworks at all! But no matter what, it is also a first-class cultural relic!

As far as the bronze 'gu' is in front of everyone, even if it is worthless, it is at least more than 10 million yuan. Is this a donation? The handwriting is really not small!

But how did they know that in Ye Tian's eyes, this bronze ware was like a tasteless existence!

Auctions are not allowed in China, and the price is not as high as that, and you are unwilling to auction it abroad, and you may even bear the infamy of a traitor!

As for his own collection, to be honest, he is not very interested.

Bronze wares are more important because of their symbolic meaning and cultural research value. After understanding the meaning of those inscriptions, Ye Tian lost interest in this treasure.

Because of this, he is going to donate it, and he can earn a good reputation, right?

In a moment, everyone at the scene woke up.

Immediately afterwards, those cultural and museum experts from major museums in China went completely crazy!

Bronze with inscriptions! It is definitely a national treasure, no matter it is placed in any museum, it is a cultural relic of the treasure level of the town hall!

This kid Ye Tian actually planned to donate for free, such a godsend opportunity, whoever misses it will be a stick!

"Xiaoye, please donate this treasure to our National Museum. In terms of bronze protection and research, our National Museum's strength is definitely the best in China, unmatched!"

"Old Zhang! You're blowing your socks off! What's wrong with our Forbidden City's National Museum? Xiaoye, please donate this bronze ware to our Forbidden City! This kind of national treasure should be placed in the Forbidden City!"

The two super predators are the first to attack, they are not polite at all!

Not to be outdone, the rest of the famous museums followed one after another with the same purpose, which is to take down this bronze sacrificial vessel with a long history of 3,200 years!

Regarding donating this bronze ware to that museum, Ye Tian already had a plan in mind, of course it is the museum that can bring him the greatest benefit!

From this perspective, there are only two museums that meet the requirements, that is, the Forbidden City and the National Museum.

Among these two, he chose Guobo again.

In comparison, Guobo is indeed more professional and powerful in bronze protection and research!

The advantage of the Forbidden City is that it is well-known, but the collection is too rich and complex, and the researchers have limited energy, so they may not be able to take this bronze ware into consideration, which is obviously not the best choice!

Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed down, motioning for everyone to be quiet, and then said:

"There is no need to argue! There is no need. I have already made a decision. I plan to donate this bronze sacrificial vessel 'gu' that has been lost overseas for a long time to the National Museum!

This is my deliberate choice. It is undeniable that Guobo is indeed at the top level in China in terms of bronze protection and research. I hope everyone will understand! "

Before the words fell, there was already a burst of cheers at the scene.

"Great! Xiaoye! You kid made the wisest choice!"

The cheers came from those members of the National Expo, who were already dancing with excitement, as if they were crazy.

The cultural and museum experts of the other famous museums all sighed in disappointment, what a pity!

But they also knew in their hearts that Ye Tian's choice was indeed the most correct and wise!

In terms of bronze protection and research, our own museum is indeed inferior to the National Museum, which cannot be denied! Can only accept such a result!
