Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1042 The most important auction

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Sotheby's Auction Hall.

Today's 'European Classical Art Auction' is coming to an end, and the auction hall is still buzzing with people!

Regardless of whether there is a harvest or not, none of the many buyers on the scene left early. Not only that, but many people are rushing here, hurriedly, very excited.

After previous rounds of competition and deliberation, the atmosphere in the auction hall has become more and more heated, gradually reaching the highest point!

Everyone at the scene was extremely excited, staring intently at the auctioneer in front of him and at the big screen at the scene, their eyes full of anticipation.

At the same time, the smell of gunpowder in the air is getting stronger and stronger, and many buyers are gearing up to prepare for a fierce fight that is destined to be fierce.

Ye Tian and Betty, who sat in the middle of the first row, were also very excited, but compared to other people present, they were much more relaxed, chatting and laughing!

"Steven, can you find out, what is the auction reserve price you set for this "Creation of Adam"? With your style of work, there must be an auction reserve price.

Moma is not a super rich man like you. If you set a reserve price that is too high and out of our budget, then we don't have to compete in the end, so as not to be ashamed! "

Julian, who was sitting next to him, probed and asked, this is the curator of Moma, an old friend of Ye Tian.

The reason why he appeared here was naturally for Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", and he wanted to win this top-level artwork and add the most important treasure to Moma!

Not only him, most of the buyers in this auction hall came for this Michelangelo painting.

Even if some buyers do not have the strength to compete for this priceless treasure,

But here they are, ready to enter the fray!

They all hope that a miracle will happen, and that they are the super lucky ones to get this priceless treasure!

Because of this Michelangelo's pinnacle work, the classical painting that has been gradually neglected in recent years has once again attracted people's attention.

Naturally, this auction has also become the most popular and most concerned European classical art auction in recent years, and has become the focus of attention in the field of antique art collections and many media!

Ye Tian turned his head to look at Julian, shook his head with a light smile and said:

"You guessed it right, Julian, I did set an auction reserve price for this peak work of Michelangelo, this oil painting is too precious, I want to avoid any possibility of accidents!

But I can't disclose the specific amount of the reserve price right now, it will be kept secret for now, and you will know later! What I can tell you is that the auction reserve price faithfully reflects the value of this painting, not too high!

I don't know how much moma budgeted for this painting, but you'd better go down and compete! In this way, even if you lose to other buyers, I don't think you will be too sorry! "

"It seems that someone is going to be slaughtered! I will bid next time. Such a top-notch artwork is in front of me. If I don't work hard for it, then I am not qualified to be the curator of moma at all!"

Julian said in a firm tone, looking very confident and high-spirited.

As soon as the words fell, the auctioneer's passionate, high-pitched voice came from the stage, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what will be auctioned next is the last lot of this European Classical Art auction, and it is also the most important lot.

That is the famous Italian painter, the three masters of the Renaissance, Michelangelo's pinnacle of painting art, "The Creation of Adam" in the "Genesis" series! "

The auctioneer's passionate shout resounded throughout the auction hall, and his voice trembled a little because he was so excited.

At the same time, the door leading to the temporary vault behind the auction table opened again.

Two staff members of Sotheby's auction house carefully carried Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", walked out the door, and appeared in the auction hall.

A senior executive of Sotheby's auction house and two armed security personnel who were waiting at the door immediately went up to escort the priceless treasure to the auction stage!

"clap clap"

There was a thunderous bang, very enthusiastic.

Everyone at the scene stood up and gave their own applause for the pinnacle work of the Renaissance art master Michelangelo.

This is an applause for Michelangelo's art, but also for myself, making myself more courageous and fighting to meet the fierce fighting that is about to begin.

While applauding enthusiastically, the eyes of many buyers at the scene and on the Internet became even hotter when they looked at the painting. Everyone was very excited and their eyes were shining!

"Wow! This "Creation of Adam" is so perfect, it looks more delicate and detailed than the ceiling painting of the Sistine Chapel! It is indeed a priceless treasure!"

"Finally this gem is here, it will soon become my personal treasure, and that's why I'm in New York! Nobody can take this from me!"

The sound of admiration kept ringing, one after another, filling people's ears!

Everyone's eyes were following the pinnacle of Michelangelo's work, and they couldn't bear to take it away for a moment. Everyone was full of fighting spirit, as if they were going to win it.

The smell of gunpowder in the air became more and more intense. Throwing a match can detonate the whole venue, turning the auction hall into a violently erupting active volcano in an instant.

Soon, the two Sotheby's staff who were carrying the painting walked to the auction table, and carefully put the "Creation of Adam" in their hands on the display stand and displayed it in front of everyone.

Afterwards, the two staff members reluctantly turned around and left, and stood at the door of the rear vault.

The executive of the Sotheby's auction house led two armed security personnel, and immediately stood on both sides of the display rack, nervously and excitedly protecting the priceless treasure on the display rack, not daring to relax at all!

The warm applause lasted for two minutes and finally stopped.

The passionate voice of the auctioneer came from the stage immediately, still trembling.

"Wow! This is really an incomparable top-level work of art, a veritable priceless treasure, full of sacred atmosphere, and fascinating!

Every time I see this Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", I feel a sense of awe in my heart, which comes from the depths of my soul, the awe of God! "

As he spoke, the white auctioneer in his fifties almost made a sign of the cross on his chest.

"That's right! We are the same. This "Creation of Adam" is the most perfect artwork, a gift from God to mankind! It is extremely precious!"

Many buyers at the scene responded in unison, everyone's eyes revealed piety, and there was also a bit of awe.

Those buyers from major church organizations in the United States kept crossing their chests and praying in a low voice, very pious!

In the entire auction hall, there was only one exception, and that was Ye Tian.

At this time, he had a bright smile on his face, and his eyes only had the desire for wealth, without piety, let alone awe.

That is your God! It has nothing to do with my buddies, my buddies only care about the final transaction price of this oil painting and whether I am satisfied!

If the transaction price satisfies the buddies and is above the auction reserve price, then the final winner can take this "Creation of Adam" away, take it back as an offering, and enjoy it slowly!

On the contrary, if the highest bid does not reach the auction reserve price, then I am sorry! This so-called gift from God to mankind has to be kept under pressure in the hands of my buddies, and no one can take it away.

After a short pause, the high-pitched voice of the auctioneer came again.

"It is my honor to preside over the auction of "The Creation of Adam". In my auction career, this is undoubtedly the most important moment, the most important auction, and it is worth remembering forever!

Here, I would like to thank Mr. Steven, thank him for discovering this pinnacle of Michelangelo, and thank him for choosing Sotheby's auction house, which led to everything that follows! "

With that said, the auctioneer raised his hand and made a gesture to Ye Tian who was under the stage.

Ye Tian also performed very gracefully, immediately turned around and raised his right hand, waved to everyone present with a smile on his face, then turned back and nodded to the auctioneer on the stage!

"clap clap"

The applause sounded again, full of enthusiasm.

Everyone at the scene was applauding, sending warm applause to Ye Tian. Every applause was full of sincerity and gratitude!

At those auction sites in the past, this is almost unimaginable! Ye Tian has never enjoyed such a courtesy!

The reason for such a scene is, of course, because of the "Creation of Adam" and its special significance.

Hearing the applause given to him, Ye Tian felt somewhat embarrassed.

Hope you guys will thank me later instead of cursing like crazy buddies! If you curse, don't curse too viciously or too harshly!

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat, the auction will begin soon!"

The auctioneer said loudly, his voice was a few degrees higher than he knew it! ...
