Chapter 921 A Little Wish
Ye Tian raised his hands and pressed down gently, motioning for everyone to be quiet.
Immediately, the noise began to decrease, and the scene gradually became quiet. Everyone was watching Ye Tian behind the auction stage to see what he was about to say!
After a short pause, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"The turnover of 3.8 billion is indeed very high! For me, this is a huge surprise. I never thought that this auction would be so successful and achieve such outstanding results!
All of this is due to the full support of everyone present here. Here, I would like to solemnly thank everyone, thank you, young and old, you are so generous and supportive! "
After speaking, Ye Tian walked out of the auction stage, stood on the open space next to him, and bowed to everyone present, very sincerely.
"clap clap"
The applause sounded immediately, quite warmly.
While applauding, the eyes of everyone looking at Ye Tian were full of admiration.
"Okay! You're not bad, kid! At least we haven't forgotten about us well diggers, so we can get a little bit of psychological comfort, so we won't be too distressed!
You know, everyone's wallets are almost ransacked by you boy, and the accumulated turnover of 3.8 billion is our hard-earned money! "
Ma Ye in the audience said loudly, joking with Ye Tian.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter immediately at the scene, and everyone nodded in sympathy.
"Not at all! Master Ma, you're being serious, what's the point of this! 3.8 billion yuan is just a drop in the bucket for everyone here! It's not worth mentioning at all!
As far as I know, there are more than a dozen super-rich people with a net worth of over tens of billions in this exhibition hall, not to mention the top cultural institutions such as the Forbidden City and the National Museum, which have plenty of money! "
Ye Tian smiled lightly and shook his head, speaking with a very certain tone.
Of course he knew exactly who his invitations were sent to.
"Hey——! Cooperating with you is on target! Watching people order dishes! I guess you were counting everyone's wallets from the beginning, what a chicken thief!"
Old Shan said with a grin,
A stunned expression.
The rest of the people also shook their heads and chuckled, feeling a little like me for fish.
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian stood back behind the auction stage and got back to the topic.
"Now I can talk about my little wish. Since the turnover of this auction has exceeded 3.8 billion, can it go further and exceed 4.2 billion?
As you all know, Sotheby's auction house set an Asian auction transaction record of 4.2 billion in the 2013 Hong Kong autumn auction, which caused quite a stir for a while.
We can't let a bunch of foreigners outshine us! I am going to challenge this record to see if it is possible to break it. Of course, this requires the full support of all young and old! "
Before the words fell, the scene was already fried, and the exclamation rang out.
"Did I get it wrong? This kid Ye Tian is going to hit the transaction record of 4.2 billion. He dares to think too much! What a crazy guy, his heart is higher than the sky!"
"Isn't it! It's possible if there are more top-level antique artworks left, but now there is only one grand finale left. It's hard to break this record!
If the record is to be broken, it means that the final transaction price of this lot cannot be lower than 400 million. What an exaggerated figure, it is almost impossible! "
Just like in the exhibition hall, exclamations continued in the lounge.
"It's just an antique work of art, can it be auctioned for a sky-high price of 400 million yuan? It's unlikely, right? It sounds like a myth, it's too unrealistic!"
"Since Xiaotian dares to say that, he should be sure! Before today, spending 200 to 300 million yuan to shoot an antique artwork, in our opinion, isn't it an unbelievable myth!
But in today's auction, are there still such myths? It has been staged in front of our eyes almost a dozen times, right? Under such circumstances, who dares to say that it is impossible to shoot 400 million! "
Many buyers at the scene, as well as the family members in the lounge, were shocked by Ye Tian's words.
Ye Tian's expression was very calm and full of confidence.
The transaction price of 400 million yuan is of course high, but to him, this price is very ordinary, and it is not worth making a fuss about.
In the New York auction market before, there were many antique works of art that flowed out of his hands that sold for hundreds of millions of dollars, and there were not a few that sold for two to three hundred million dollars!
If converted into RMB, it would be 6.7 billion, or even more than 10.2 billion. The transaction price of the Renaissance art master Titian's "Venice Landscape" exceeded 3 billion RMB.
Just imagine, after experiencing the baptism of these scenes, how could Ye Tian put the transaction price of 400 million yuan in his eyes.
As for breaking the record set by Sotheby's auction house, it was just a whim on his mind, and it doesn't matter whether he can break it or not!
When the exclamation at the scene subsided, Ye Tian immediately continued with a smile:
"The lot that will be unveiled soon is a rare national treasure and a proper national first-class cultural relic. It is perfect to use it as the finale and hit the Asian record!
I am very sure that no matter what kind of quotation you give for this finale auction, it is reasonable. If you can win it smoothly, you will get a bargain! Absolutely great value for money!
A few years ago, the "Xiao Heyue Chasing Han Xin" Yuan blue-and-white plum vase sold for a sky-high price of more than 800 million yuan. This finale auctioned a price of 400 million yuan. I don't think it is too much at all!
No matter in terms of age or artistic value, this lot is far superior to that Yuan blue and white plum vase. If I were a buyer, I would choose this lot instead of that Yuan blue and white vase!
Of course, whether we can create a new Asian auction transaction record depends on the support of all young and old. If it succeeds, it will be perfect and worth celebrating!
Even if the success falls short, there is no need to feel sorry. This auction is also an extremely successful private auction, which will definitely shake the entire domestic antique industry! "
"clap clap"
There was a thunderous applause, deafening.
"Xiaoye, that's beautiful! We support you, and hope that you can set a new Asian record, and let those foreign devils stay cool!"
"Okay! Ye Tian, I don't have that much money in my pocket. I'm not the super rich you kid said. I can only support you morally!"
The crowd at the scene responded, and many of them were watching the excitement and making a big deal out of it.
These guys knew very well in their hearts that no matter whether Ye Tian could set a new transaction record or not, this finale lot was not something they could covet!
No need to think about it, the next bidding will definitely be a battle between those super predators in the exhibition hall, and the fight will only happen between them!
Even if the rest get involved, they will only have the fate of becoming cannon fodder, with no hope of winning at all.
That being the case, why not add more firewood? Let the flames of war burn more vigorously, that scene will be beautiful, isn't it!
And those buyers who were going to participate in this competition couldn't help showing a helpless wry smile on their faces when they saw the situation on the scene.
"Xiaoye, this is your so-called little wish? The record set by Sotheby's auction house in five days, you kid wants to break it in a private auction, so arrogant!
That's 400 million yuan, what a fortune! I can see it, you boy won't let it go if you don't empty everyone's pockets today! "
Old Shan who was sitting in the front row said, but his eyes were extremely firm and full of anticipation.
Of course, he knows very well what the finale lot is. It is the treasure that the Forbidden City is determined to win, and it must be won no matter what.
"Xiaoye, I really opened my eyes today! To be honest, I have never seen a crazier guy than you! I have never seen a more greedy guy than you!
Your kid's appetite is simply a bottomless pit! It seems that there will never be a time to fill up, it is breathtaking, it is unmatched in the past and present! "
Elder Liang of Rongbaozhai said with emotion, his eyes were full of shock.
Ye Tian smiled lightly, jokingly said:
"That's what you said! Just think you're praising me! It sounds pretty good!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
Everyone laughed and shook their heads slightly.
This thing is really hopeless! Invulnerable!
Amidst the laughter, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came again.
"Everyone should have guessed which treasure the finale lot is, that's right! It is "The Picture of Qingluan Xiaosi Temple" by Li Cheng, the three great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty. That piece originally belonged to the Forbidden City and has been lost overseas for a long time!"
As he spoke, he turned sideways and raised his hand towards the big screen.
Following his actions, the last battle of today begins!
