Treasure Hunt all over the World

The auction is still going on, and the competition is getting fiercer.

The entire auction hall was like a violently erupting volcano, with scorching hot magma surging everywhere, and the atmosphere was extremely hot.

"Seven Billion Dollars, Jefferson"

Someone at the scene held up the bidding number again, pushing this "Creation of Adam" directly to the level of 700 million US dollars, a sky-high price that made everyone dumbfounded.

Before the words fell, the auction hall had already exploded.

"My God! Are these people crazy? That's $700 million, what a huge fortune, even for Michelangelo's pinnacle, isn't the price too exaggerated?

The two paintings of Paul Cézanne's peak period that Steven found in the apartment on 110th Street before, were auctioned for a total of only 440 million US dollars! That price is already astonishing,

Who would have thought that this auction would be even crazier. According to the current trend, it seems that there is no big problem breaking through 800 million US dollars. Can one Michelangelo be exchanged for four Paul Cézanne? This is unlikely, right? "

"Nothing is impossible! How many paintings by Michelangelo have been handed down to the present? There are only a handful of them! Each one is a veritable priceless treasure. Have you ever seen it in the auction market?

How many works of Paul Cézanne have been handed down to the world? There are 839 oil paintings alone! And it will appear in the auction market from time to time. Although the price is very expensive, it is not very rare.

Both of them are the top art masters in the history of western art, but rare things are more expensive! This is an unbreakable truth in the field of antique art collection, and it couldn't be more suitable here.

If Steven exchanged this "Creation of Adam" for other works of art, there would be a lot of people responding. It would be no problem to exchange for four paintings by Paul Cézanne, and he could even exchange for more! "

Just as people were exclaiming and discussing, the high-pitched, resonant and trembling voice of the auctioneer Jefferson came to everyone's ears again.

"Buyer No. 33 quoted US$700 million, an art broker from Mr. Carlos in Mexico, welcome to participate in the competition! The current price is US$705 million, US$700.5 million, which gentleman should bid ?”

While shouting, Jefferson quickly raised his hand and gestured towards the position of buyer No. 33.

Ye Tian, ​​who was sitting in the first row, also turned his head to look at the art dealer's seat, nodded at him with a smile, and said hello.

Carlos is a regular customer,

I have received a lot of top-level antique artworks from myself. It was the Mexican telecommunications tycoon who took the picture of El Greco in the Cayman Islands before!

At this time, his art dealer Marquez appeared in this auction hall again to cheer him on. Of course, Ye Tian had to express something. A polite greeting is the minimum courtesy.

When Ye Tian nodded to the other party, Marquez also nodded to him and gave him a thumbs up.

They greeted each other and were very friendly, while many other buyers looked frustrated and complained.

"Fake! It's another super predator! This is just a battle for the richest man. It's nothing to do with me. Why should I join in the fun? It's not embarrassing enough!"

"A group of lunatics who lost their minds, what a waste of money! I won't play with you anymore, why don't you just hide if you can't provoke me!"

Faced with the almost unattainable price of 700 million US dollars, many buyers chose to die, and with endless regrets, sadly withdrew from this competition.

The quotation given by Marquez has already broken through the upper limit of the psychological price of many buyers. They can only withdraw from the competition and have no other choice!

Life has to go on, you can't go bankrupt just because of this Michelangelo!

In an instant, most of the competitors were reduced, and the remaining competitors were veritable super predators, including two powerful church organizations.

In addition, there are two mysterious buyers in the telephone and online bidding area, who are still among the competitors. They must also be super rich with huge net worth, and their strength should not be underestimated!

As soon as Jefferson finished speaking, representatives of the Southern Baptist Convention raised their bidding plates and accepted an offer of $705 million.

Although their movements are very crisp and their shots are very neat, it can be seen from their dignified expressions and slightly twitching facial muscles that they are almost reaching their limit!

The Baptist Church is just a church organization, not the super rich or multinational corporations. Most of the funds they use for bidding are donated by believers. It is already very good to be able to persist until this meeting.

Like them, the clergy of the Boston United Church of Christ also had solemn expressions, and the calm and demeanor they had maintained before was a little relaxed at this time.

From their eyes, one can see a trace of panic, but also a bit of unwillingness and disappointment.

Clearly, their pockets are running low!

as expected!

When the art dealer of Ryan, the richest man in Britain, raised his bidding plate and shouted out a price of 750 million US dollars, the representatives of the two church organizations shook their heads in unison and left the competition with regrets. fierce competition.

After being reduced to spectators, they quickly regained their spirits after experiencing a short-term loss. Their eyes began to wander among the remaining competitors, and their eyes glowed green!

Since they couldn't take a picture of "The Creation of Adam", they immediately came up with other ideas.

Let's see if we can confuse the final winner to donate this "Creation of Adam" to his church, or lend it to the church for a period of time!

All in all, this trip to New York cannot be wasted! Why don't you have to bring something back, otherwise it's not easy to deal with business!

There are fewer and fewer competitors, but the battle is getting fiercer!

Another two rounds passed, and the price of "Creating Adam" reached a new height.

"..., 785 million US dollars, 785 million US dollars, which gentleman should ask for the price?"

Auctioneer Jefferson's high-pitched and loud shouts continued to come from the stage, his excited voice was a little trembling, and the sound broke continuously!

This must be an auction that will be recorded in history forever, and it is the most glorious moment of Jefferson's auction career. Can he not be excited? It's the same for anyone, even more unbearable!

While shouting, Jefferson stared closely at the remaining competitors, looking forward to seeing them raise their bidding plates again. If they can quote a higher price, it will be perfect!

The remaining competitors performed differently and gave different reactions.

The art dealer of Francois, the super rich man in France, raised his right hand and cut his throat lightly on his neck, announcing his withdrawal from the competition with regret on his face.

On the other side of the telephone bidding area, a staff member of Sotheby's auction house also cut his throat, announcing his withdrawal from the competition on behalf of the client he was responsible for.

With those two out, the field of contenders dwindles again to just six.

The performances of these six people are not the same. Some of them are quite nervous and look worried about gains and losses. Their confidence is seriously lacking, and it is estimated that they are not far from failure.

Some people were very calm, with an expression of giving up and being sure to win. Obviously, the ammunition was sufficient, and the fighting power was still very strong.

The latter type of person is undoubtedly Ye Tian's favorite competitor.

Gentlemen, fight with your hands and feet! It’s best to use the brain of a person to play a dog’s brain, buddies want to see such a picture, it must be very exciting!

"Seven hundred and ninety-five million dollars, Jefferson"

The curator of the Metropolitan Museum made another move and directly increased the quotation by 10 million US dollars, which can be described as magnificent!

As soon as he finished his words, before the auctioneer Jefferson could speak, Carlos' art dealer, Marquez, gave a new price.

"Eight hundred and five million dollars, Jefferson!"

Not surprisingly, the auction hall was blown up again.

"My God! It has exceeded 800 million US dollars! What kind of sky-high price can this pinnacle work of Michelangelo be auctioned? I can't even imagine it!"

"It's crazy! I swear, this is the craziest auction I've ever seen and experienced! It's a great fortune to be here and witness all of this!"

Not only the auction hall, but also the entire field of antique art collections are completely boiling at this time.

"Could the transaction price of this "Creation of Adam" break through one billion dollars? With the current trend, it seems very possible!"

Many people have such doubts in their hearts, and they cannot be suppressed at all!
