Treasure Hunt all over the World

Ye Tian came to Sotheby's Building with Jason, not Betty, she went to work and had no time.

Originally, Ye Tian wanted to come alone, but when Jason came to pick up the antiques in the morning, he overheard this and immediately volunteered to follow him, forgetting about making money!

The auction they are going to participate in today is the special auction of 'Impressionism and Modern Art'.

In today's special auction, Ye Tian has a total of four artworks up for auction.

Two top oil paintings from French Post-Impressionist painting master Paul Cézanne, and .

The other two are also Impressionist oil paintings, so they are not so famous. Compared with Paul Cézanne's oil paintings, they can only be said to be second best!

However, these two Impressionist painters, who are also from France, also have a certain reputation in the field of art, and the market for their works is not bad, and they are relatively popular in the market!

This special auction is the highlight of Sotheby's autumn auction, and the auction house attaches great importance to it, and it is attracting great attention from the outside world.

Especially after the appearance of two oil paintings by Paul Cézanne, this special auction has become the focus of attention of all European and American art collectors.

Everyone is looking forward to the appearance of these two top oil paintings to see if they can refresh the transaction records of Impressionist oil paintings, and even create the highest art auction record in history!

That's Paul Cézanne! His auction once fetched a sky-high price of 274 million US dollars, setting the highest record for an art auction in one fell swoop!

The two oil paintings up for auction this time are both masterpieces of his peak period, and the artistic level is limited even if it is even worse, so the sky-high price is inevitable!

Maybe these two oil paintings can create a new art auction record and shock the global art collection market, everything is possible! Very worth looking forward to!

Due to too many works of art being auctioned, this special auction was divided into two halves, the first half at ten o'clock in the morning, and the second half at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Tian's four impressionist oil paintings were also auctioned separately, and the two relatively average-valued paintings were placed in the morning session and were successfully auctioned.

The transaction prices of those two oil paintings were quite good, one was auctioned for 540,000 US dollars, and the other was sold for 760,000 US dollars, both of which fell into the hands of American collectors!

Paul Cézanne's two top oil paintings were placed in the afternoon session, which was the highlight of today and the focus of everyone's attention.

Ye Tian didn't participate in the auction in the morning. Instead, he went to Christie's to have a look. His antique works of art were also up for auction there, but not many people knew about it!

Time soon came to the afternoon.

At around 1:40, Ye Tian and Jason walked into the Sotheby's building together to participate in the most important and most concerned "Impressionist and Modern Art" auction.

Walking into the building, they immediately felt the fiery atmosphere here.

There are many high-definition posters of artworks up for auction hanging in the hall, especially the two top-level oil paintings of Paul Cézanne, which can be seen almost everywhere!

In front of these posters, there are many enthusiastic visitors, art lovers, art critics, a large number of media reporters, and other idlers!

Everyone is admiring the oil paintings on the promotional materials, everyone's eyes are shining with excitement, and they keep commenting and praising, their eyes are full of envy!

But the vast majority of them can only comment or praise here. Many people dare not even think about taking pictures of these two oil paintings and turning them into their own private collections! Because that is simply impossible!

The transaction price of these two oil paintings must be an unattainable sky-high price! It is a huge wealth that ordinary collectors will never be able to possess!

Just imagine that Paul Cézanne's still life oil paintings can fetch a sky-high price of over 100 million US dollars. How can these two peak works be an exception? Only higher!

The fierce competition around these two oil paintings will only be launched between those billionaires and the top collectors,

Everyone else has to step aside!

In addition to the fiery atmosphere, Ye Tian also smelled tension in the air.

At the entrance of the Sotheby's building, there are four or five police cars parked, including NYPD's and FBI's, and there is also a SWAT armored car! The alert level is clearly high.

There were four or five police officers in the hall, and there must be more around the auction hall upstairs, so you don't have to ask.

The people from the security department of Sotheby's Auction House have all been dispatched at this time, maintaining a high level of alert! They can be seen everywhere in the hall.

It can be seen from their slightly baggy coats that these guys are all wearing body armor, and they must be fully armed and ready to respond at any time.

Their key protection targets are mainly the numerous bidders in the upstairs auction hall and the temporary vault behind the auction hall.

Among the bidders in the auction hall, there are many important people. If anyone has an accident, it will be enough for Sotheby's to drink a pot, and it will even make them go bankrupt and close their business!

And the temporary vault at the back of the auction hall is just a transfer station for auction items, with very limited protection capabilities. They must also be more careful, and beware of anyone starting from there!

From now on, the two to three hours until the end of the auction will definitely be the most tense time for the police and Sotheby's security, and they will definitely not dare to relax for a moment!

No wonder they are so nervous, this auction is so important! Paul Cézanne's two top oil paintings are so famous, maybe some bastard is planning on those two oil paintings!

This kind of thing has happened before, who can guarantee that it won't happen again?

Seeing that the police and Sotheby's attached so much importance to the security of this special shoot, Ye Tian was relieved a lot. There shouldn't be that bastard with a hot head who ran to seek his own death at this time!

After scanning the situation in the lobby, Ye Tian and Jason walked towards the elevator.

At this moment, everyone in the hall also spotted them, and two Sotheby's security guards rushed over immediately.

Immediately after them came many media reporters, carrying cameras and cameras, running towards this side one after another, all of them were very excited.

The rest of the people just turned their heads to look at this side, everyone's eyes were full of envy, and several New York policemen were also looking at this side, also very envious!

In a blink of an eye, two Sotheby's security guards came to the front, and the one in front was the old acquaintance Dirk, who had fought side by side.

"Steven, why don't you go to the underground garage? There is an exclusive elevator there, which leads directly to the floor where the auction hall is located. Why did you come in from the main entrance?"

Dirk asked in surprise, quite puzzled.

"I know the passage. My car is in the underground garage, but we came a little early. After leaving the car in the garage, we walked to Chinatown for dinner. We just came back from Chinatown, so we walked through the main entrance!"

Ye Tian explained a few sentences with a very relaxed expression.

Heavyweight auctions basically have exclusive channels, which are exclusively used by billionaires and famous collectors who enjoy VIP treatment, as well as important lot holders, and can go directly to the auction hall.

In this way, we can not only provide thoughtful and meticulous service for VIP customers, but also reflect the honorable status of the guests. It is also out of safety considerations, not just a marketing gimmick!

As one of Sotheby's most valued customers, Ye Tian naturally enjoys this kind of treatment, but he doesn't mind whether he enjoys such thoughtful and meticulous service.

At this time, under his coat, two CZ83s were inserted into the holsters under his armpit, ready to attack at any time, and a saber was tied to his calf, so his own safety was not a problem at all.

"So that's it! Come with me. There is an exclusive elevator to the auction hall upstairs. You must hold an invitation letter or bidding qualification certificate and pass identity verification to enter. Others are not allowed to enter that floor!"

Dirk explained a few words, and prepared to take Ye Tian and the others to the exclusive elevator.

"Okay! I said that there are so many people in the hall. It turns out that they can only stay here because they can't go to the auction hall!"

Ye Tian suddenly said, and immediately started to walk towards the exclusive elevator.

At this moment, many media reporters rushed forward.

These reporters didn't wait for a moment, and started to ask questions loudly before gaining a firm foothold, and they were all impatient.

"Steven, the auction will start soon. What are your expectations for these two Paul Cézanne oil paintings today? Can they set a new art auction record?"

“Will that painting fetch a higher price? Or? What do you expect them to fetch? Tell everyone!”

"As far as I know, there are many billionaires and famous collectors here today. Who do you think will take these two top oil paintings? Tell everyone! I think everyone is very interested in your prediction!"

The scene was noisy, and all reporters were scrambling to ask questions, lest they miss the opportunity.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his hands and pressed down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, I will answer your questions one by one, and I will definitely give you satisfactory answers!"

The scene quickly became quiet, and many reporters looked at Ye Tian, ​​waiting for an answer.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ye Tian said with a smile:

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your attention. The auction is about to start, and the time is limited, so I can only answer a few questions that everyone is most concerned about. The rest of the questions will naturally be known after the auction is over!

A reporter friend asked me about my expectations for these two top post-impressionist oil paintings? I certainly hope that the higher the transaction price, the better! It is best to create a new art transaction record! That's the perfect result!

These two oil paintings are the works of Paul Cézanne in his peak period, which embodies great painstaking efforts and has extraordinary artistic value! I don't wonder what kind of miracles they create, everything is possible! "

Hearing this, many reporters at the scene couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Paul Cézanne's oil paintings have almost gone to heaven in the past few years, and it is possible to create any miracle. Today, you may witness the miracle with your own eyes!

Ye Tian didn't pause for a moment, and continued to say with high spirits:

"Personally, I am more optimistic. Compared with this series, there are fewer paintings. There is only this one in the current art market, so the auction price is naturally higher!

As for the expected auction price, I still say that everything is possible! Let me tell you here that these two oil paintings have reserve prices, and both of them are above 50 million US dollars! "

Hearing this price, the scene immediately exploded! Many people held their heads and exclaimed!

“Holy crap! $50 million+ reserve price, crazy!”

"I have never heard that the reserve price of that antique artwork is as high as 50 million U.S. dollars. Today is really an eye-opener! As expected of Steven, he is as ruthless as in the legend!"

While talking wildly, everyone stared at Ye Tian with wide eyes, eyes full of disbelief, envy, and their eyeballs were red!

Ye Tian just smiled, and continued talking with a relaxed expression.

"Who can win these two top artworks? To be honest, I don't dare to predict, but I can be sure that the bidders who took these two oil paintings must be the most generous guy in the auction hall!

Alright, that's all for now, I'm going to the auction hall, everyone wish me luck! You will know the result soon, I believe it must be a huge surprise, see you, everyone! "

After speaking, Ye Tian and Jason immediately started to leave, followed Dike and the others to the exclusive elevator.

The reporters were still stunned, staring blankly at Ye Tian's back, everyone's eyes were full of shock.

This bastard Steven must be the luckiest guy on earth, and he must be the craziest guy!

Two post-impressionist oil paintings with a reserve price of more than 100 million US dollars, who the hell has heard of it?
