Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1047 A Perfect Day

"Here, $810.5 million"

Someone at the scene raised the bidding number plate again, and a new offer followed.

"OK! Buyer No. 15 quoted US$810.5 million from Mr. Bill's art broker. The current price is US$820 million, US$820 million. Who will take this price?"

The auctioneer Jefferson raised his hand and pointed to the audience, shouting excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes quickly swept over the remaining competitors, observing their reactions, and also looking forward to someone raising the bidding number again to continue the competition.

As for the other people at the auction site, they were no longer his focus and could be completely ignored.

A Sotheby's employee on the other side of the online bidding area raised his hand and cut his throat, announcing his withdrawal from the competition on behalf of his client.

The remaining few competitors are all in this auction hall.

This means that "Creation of Adam" will definitely fall into the hands of a certain buyer on the spot, and become a collection of someone or a museum under the eyes of everyone.

There was hardly any pause, another bidding plate was raised high, and a price of 820 million US dollars was accepted.

"Buyer No. 33 should ask for 820 million U.S. dollars. He is Mr. Carlos's art dealer. The current price is 825 million U.S. dollars, 825 million U.S. dollars. ?”

exclaimed Jefferson, still full of passion.

"Eight hundred and thirty million dollars, Jefferson"

"Jefferson, here"

"Eight hundred and forty-five million dollars!"

The bidding numbers in the hands of the remaining competitors kept raising and falling, and the sound of bidding kept coming from their mouths, shaking the entire auction hall.

In a blink of an eye, the price of this "Creation of Adam" has exceeded 85 million US dollars.

Two more buyers withdrew from the competition, namely Ryan, the richest man in Britain, and Warren Buffett, the stock god.

Obviously, it wasn't that the two super rich had no money in their pockets, but that the price had already exceeded the predetermined upper limit of quotations.

They can only opt out.

The field of contenders is narrowed again, leaving only two ultra-rich people and two of the most famous museums in the United States.

They are Bill Gates, the richest man in the United States, Carlos, the richest man in Mexico, the Metropolitan Museum of New York, and MOMA.

At this point in the auction, the speed is not as good as before. The time for everyone to think and consider is getting longer and longer, and the hands are becoming more and more cautious!

No one's money is blown by the wind! Even for the richest man in the world like Bill Gates, US$800-900 million is still a huge amount of wealth, which must be used carefully.

"Eighty-sixty million dollars, Jefferson"

Julian raised his bid plate again and quoted a new price with a very firm tone, as if he was bound to win.

As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian immediately turned around and said jokingly:

"Great job, Julian, you are so determined! I like you like this, you have the demeanor of a general, this is what a curator of MOMA should do"

"Stop it quickly, Steven, I'm just clenching my teeth and persevering, maybe I'll be defeated in the next second, and pass by this pinnacle of Michelangelo's work!"

Julian turned his head to look at Ye Tian, ​​and said angrily.

"Don't mind! I have persisted until now, what a pity to give up! In a few more rounds, maybe MOMA will be the final winner. It successfully won this "Creation of Adam" and returned triumphantly."

"I hope that's the case! We're about to throw our money into it. If we still can't get this Michelangelo, it's okay. We can only watch it fall into the hands of others!"

"With the support of the famous Rockefeller family, will MOMA still be short of money? I believe you will have the last laugh!"

"The Rockefeller family did provide us with some financial support, but the funds used to acquire "Creation of Adam" this time are more of our museum's own funds.

If this painting is successfully acquired, then in the next few years, we will all have to tighten our belts to live, and if we want to buy a large amount of art, I am afraid we will have to wait for several years! "

"Forget it! Who will believe this! Not counting tickets, MOMA can sell hundreds of millions of dollars in cultural and creative products every year, right? There are also various forms of exhibitions, which are also a lot of money!

What's more, you have countless modern and modern top art works, just throw out a few pieces of art in stock, and you will get a lot of dollars in your account. How relaxed and comfortable it is! "

Ye Tian joked that he was very relaxed when he was teasing with Julian.

At the same time, the quotation of "Creation of Adam" is constantly refreshing, and it has approached 900 million U.S. dollars in a blink of an eye.

"..., the current price is 895 million US dollars, 895 million US dollars, which gentleman accepts this price? Victory is close at hand, don't miss this priceless treasure!"

Jefferson's passionate voice kept coming from the stage, resounding through the entire auction hall.

His eyes were fixed on the remaining four competitors, his eyes were extremely hot, and his eyes were full of expectation, looking forward to the continuation of the miracle.

However, the remaining four competitors did not immediately respond.

Two art dealers are on the phone, communicating with their bosses over the phone, before they can decide whether to pay the price, and continue to fight!

Julian and the curator of the Metropolitan Museum were deliberating and discussing in low voices with the people around them to decide the next course of action, with serious expressions on their faces.

Soon, the four made a decision.

Carlos' art dealer shook his head slightly at Jefferson and announced his withdrawal from this competition. He was very regretful and extremely disappointed.

A huge amount of commission slipped past my hand and disappeared, how can I not lose it? I guess my heart is bleeding!

The other three are still in the competition, ready to continue fighting.

At the same time that Marquez announced his withdrawal from the competition, the director of the Metropolitan Museum raised his bidding plate and accepted the offer of 895 million US dollars.

However, from his slightly trembling arms and his constipated expression, it can be seen that this man can't hold on any longer, and he probably will lose the battle soon.

as expected! The facts are as expected.

When Julian pushed the offer to $910 million, the director of the Metropolitan Museum shook his head in pain, announced his withdrawal from the competition, and became a bystander.

At this point, the competition has become a duel between two people, a face-to-face fight.

"..., the current quotation is 915 million US dollars, 915 million US dollars, is Mr. Bill Gates willing to accept this price?"

While Jefferson was quoting loudly, he was staring at Bill Gates' art dealer, and couldn't see anyone else in his eyes.

"OK! We will accept this price!"

While nodding in response to the price, Bill Gates' art dealer raised his bidding number again.

Before the bidding number plate in his hand fell, Julian had already raised the plate in his hand and shouted loudly:

"930 million US dollars, today we at MOMA must win this "Creation of Adam", at all costs!"

"Wow! Julian is crazy, isn't he? It's been a while, and he dares to raise the price a lot! What a waste of money!"

There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was frightened.

Immediately afterwards, people turned their heads to Bill Gates' art dealer to see what kind of reaction he would give.

At this time, the art dealer was reporting the situation over the phone and asked his employer to make a decision.

In the blink of an eye, the decision was made.

The art dealer first raised his right hand and cut his throat, announcing his withdrawal from the competition on behalf of his employer!

Then, he turned his head to look at Julian, said with a wry smile:

"Mr. Julian, you have won. This Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" belongs to your MOMA, congratulations!"

Before the words fell, the MOMA group headed by Julian jumped up from their seats like an electric shock and began to celebrate wildly.

"It's great! I finally won this treasure. Our MOMA also has the pinnacle of the three masters after the Renaissance. This is the real treasure of the town hall!"

“Wow! What a perfect day to remember forever!”

That's right! This is the perfect day!

Ye Tian, ​​who was not far away, had an incomparably bright smile on his face.
