Treasure Hunt all over the World

All the buyers at the scene sat down, staring at the auctioneer on the stage and at the outstanding painting by Michelangelo on the display shelf.

Each of them was very excited, their eyes were shining brightly, and their fighting spirit was high!

Everyone has made preparations, waiting for the auction to start, and then launched a fierce fight, knocking out all opponents, and returning triumphantly with the "Creation of Adam"!

Seeing that all the buyers were seated, the auctioneer Jefferson immediately said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most exciting moment has come. The peak work of the Renaissance art master Michelangelo, "The Creation of Adam", is now on auction, and everyone is welcome to bid!"

"clap clap"

Thunderous applause sounded immediately, directly drowning out the auctioneer's voice, and he had to stop temporarily.

After the applause subsided, Jefferson's high-pitched and clear voice immediately came out again.

"Before the starting price is announced and the bidding officially starts, there are a few things that need to be explained here. It will take a little time for everyone, and please be patient.

I believe everyone has witnessed the discovery process of this "Creation of Adam", and it should be very clear. I won't explain this point, so as not to waste everyone's time.

After discovering and extracting this top-level work of art, Mr. Steven made an appraisal on the spot and gave a very positive appraisal conclusion, which everyone knows.

Before signing the entrusted auction contract, our auction house organized top appraisal experts and used relevant high-tech testing equipment to conduct a very comprehensive appraisal of this painting.

The appraisal conclusion we have drawn is highly consistent with the appraisal conclusion given by Steven. "The Creation of Adam" is indeed the authentic work of the Renaissance art master Michelangelo, there is no doubt about it!

The creation time of this oil painting should be between 1508 and 1512. It is the draft of the ceiling painting of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican. It has a history of more than 500 years and is very precious!

During the auction preview, experts from major auction houses and museums, as well as other senior professionals, also appraised the painting.

The appraisal conclusions drawn by everyone are almost exactly the same. It is confirmed that this is the authentic work of Michelangelo.

So far, there is no doubt about the authenticity of this "Creation of Adam"! You can bid with confidence! We at Sotheby's can endorse this top-notch work of art!

Because this painting is extremely precious and has special significance, the Advisory Committee on the Protection of Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of the Interior has listed it as a precious artwork that is restricted from leaving the country, and it is not allowed to leave the country!

Regarding this point, everyone must consider that if you take this picture of Michelangelo's pinnacle, don't even think about taking it out of the United States, it will cause you huge trouble! "

"We all know this, Jefferson, let's get started, I can't wait to get this top artwork and make it my private collection!"

A buyer in the audience shouted loudly, interrupting Jefferson, looking very eager.

The voice just fell,

Immediately someone followed up and said loudly:

"Mark! Don't dream, this Michelangelo must have nothing to do with you, just take a look, don't think too much about it! It belongs to my treasure!"

"Richard, you are such a bastard, why are you everywhere? Don't talk too much, it is not certain who will win! Let's wait and see!"

Mark retorted, his momentum was very strong, and he did not lose the wind in the slightest.

Immediately afterwards, several billionaire buyers jumped out, expressed their determination to win, and sarcastically attacked their competitors by the way.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder at the scene was getting stronger and it was about to explode, the auctioneer Jefferson immediately interrupted these people and regained the right to speak.

"Gentlemen, there is no need to argue, there will be opportunities to compete later, if your strength is strong enough, maybe you will have the last laugh, beat all your opponents, and win this top artwork.

The starting price is announced now. Based on the unparalleled artistic value of this painting, combined with the opinion of the owner, Mr. Steven, we set a starting price for "Creation of Adam" of US$400 million!

The minimum increase is 3 million US dollars. After the quotation exceeds 600 million US dollars, the minimum increase must not be less than 5 million US dollars. The bidding starts now, 400 million US dollars, 400 million US dollars, which gentleman should bid? "

While announcing the starting price loudly, the auctioneer Jefferson immediately got into the mood.

He turned his head quickly, his eyes were like eagle eyes, and he kept scanning the audience, in order to find the buyer who put up his sign for the first time.

Several auxiliary auctioneers standing on both sides of the auction stage also quickly entered the state, staring at the hundreds of buyers in the audience, ready to remind the auctioneer Jefferson at any time, to check and fill in the gaps!

On the right side of the auction hall, more than 20 staff who are responsible for accepting telephone bidding and online bidding are also busy, all of them are fully concentrated, ready to accept remote instructions at any time, and raise their placards to bid!

At this time, the auction hall was completely boiling, and there was a sound of exclamation.

"Wow! 400 million US dollars! Steven is really just like the legend, he is a ruthless and extremely greedy guy. Who has heard of such a high starting price? It's crazy!"

"It seems that the valuation given by Steven in the live video is true! With his usual style of acting, this "Creation of Adam" must have an auction reserve price, and it must not be less than 600 million US dollars!

No matter who has the last laugh today and successfully wins this peak work of Michelangelo, he will definitely bleed heavily, and he will be slashed by Steven, it will probably hurt his muscles and bones! "

Amidst the exclamations, in the auction hall and on the Internet, many buyers had expressions of desperation, ugly expressions, and a little embarrassment!

Just this never-before-seen astronomical starting price completely annihilated hope and kicked them out of the ranks of competitors, leaving no chance at all!

"Fack! I hate the bastard Steven, it's so ruthless! It's also extremely greedy!"

In some corners of the auction hall, there was a burst of angry curses.

The same is true on the other end of the phone and the Internet, many people are angrily cursing Ye Tian to vent their dissatisfaction and depression.

Ye Tian couldn't hear these angry cursing voices at all, and even if he heard them, he didn't bother to answer them.

What else can you do besides swearing? Can you still bite me?

"400 million US dollars, 400 million US dollars, which gentleman or lady should pay? This is Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", the top art work!

By taking a picture of this painting, you have moved the famous ceiling painting of the Sistine Chapel back to your home, and you can enjoy it at will. How exciting it is! "

Auctioneer Jefferson shouted loudly, trying to confuse everyone.

All beginnings are hard!

This is especially true for antique art auctions, where unsold auctions often occur.

In many cases, it's not that people don't like the antique works of art being auctioned, but they adopt a wait-and-see attitude, waiting for other buyers to take the lead before participating in the competition.

As long as the first buyer raises his placard to pay the price, the show will officially start, and there will be more good shows in the future, and the competition will become more and more fierce!

The current situation is exactly like this, it depends on who is the first to jump out and open the curtain of this fierce competition.

Even if no one jumped out and continued to be so cold, so that the auction failed in the end, Ye Tian didn't care at all.

As long as this painting is still in my hands, the initiative belongs to me. If I want this Michelangelo's pinnacle work, I can, and I can exchange it with real money, and I can't do anything less!

I want my buddy to sell it at a lower price, but there is no door! Even if you want to be blind, you can't come across such a good thing!

After a brief shock, many buyers quickly woke up.

Although 400 million US dollars is an astronomical figure, it is very amazing! It is also a starting price that everyone has never heard of, creating an unprecedented starting price record!

But this is Michelangelo's pinnacle! It is the top art that is almost impossible to appear in the auction market, and it is by no means comparable to other antique works of art!

As long as buyers who are interested in this painting and are ready to participate in this competition, I am afraid that no one will naively think that 400 million US dollars can win this "Creation of Adam"!

Before Jefferson's voice fell, someone responded immediately.

"Forty million dollars, Jefferson!"

On the right side of the front row of the auction hall, someone raised the bidding number plate in his hand.

The battle begins! The first shot was fired by one of the oldest religious groups in the United States, the United Church of Christ! ...
