Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 69 Tiffany Antiques
The second antique was quickly placed on the table.
This is a set of five carved cosmetic boxes with outstanding design, exquisite workmanship, elegant and luxurious!
Similar cosmetic boxes were very popular dozens or hundreds of years ago, but now almost no one uses them. Only a few noble ladies in the upper class use them to be arty.
Of course, it's more for coercion.
It is precisely because it has lost its use value that its owner will sell it for an unknown number of times, and it was taken into the bag by Ye Tian at a small price of 120 US dollars!
Seeing the appearance of this cosmetic box, the eyes of several antique dealers immediately lit up.
They all have channels to communicate with the upper class ladies circle. This kind of baby is not worried about the market, and it can also sell for a lot of money!
"I hope the price of this set of treasures is low. Steven doesn't know their true identity and value, so we can get a bargain!"
Several antique dealers thought so.
At this moment, Ye Tian had already started to introduce this set of antique boxes. His first sentence completely shattered the illusions of several antique dealers.
"This is a set of Tiffany antique engraved cosmetic boxes from 1897. There are five pieces in total. The design is elegant and generous, the decoration is beautiful and charming, and the condition is perfect.
Its design is very clever, each piece has a very secret mezzanine, which not only hides the secret, but also engraves the production year of the box, the designer and other information, which can be described as ingenious and extremely rare! "
The hearts of several antique dealers began to sink rapidly!
This kid knows too well, so what secrets are there! Can the price be lower? The situation is very bad! I guess it's not cheap anymore!
It seems that the temptation is not enough, Ye Tian is still adding more.
"I can tell you that the designer of the box is 'Louis Comfort Tiffany'. I don't need to introduce him about his position in the field of American jewelry design? You should be very familiar with it.
With that in mind, my starting bid for this antique cosmetic box is $8,000, and if the gentleman wants to get his hands on this fine antique, he can do it now! "
"What? The starting price is so high? What's the joke?"
There was an uproar at the scene again, and several antique dealers who met for the first time all widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
This is the same as the last antique, there is no cheap to take, this kid is really sure and ruthless! Is there an expert behind you? Or does he have such a high standard himself?
If it's his own level, it's too scary. If you want to get cheap, there's no door!
Seeing the performance of several antique dealers, Ye Tian just smiled and did not stop to make any explanation, but continued to make a loud quotation, waiting for someone to respond.
Although he didn't say anything, Benny couldn't help seeing the surprised expressions of his old friends, and said with a big laugh:
"Hahaha, Anderson, don't even think about picking up any bargains from Steven, just bid honestly! Then you can still gain something, or you will go home empty-handed!
Let me tell you this, Steven's knowledge of antiques is no lower than any of us, and even a lot higher than all of us. Otherwise, how could he find so many antiques?
So, I urge you to abandon all unrealistic fantasies and start bidding, otherwise the good things will be bought by Gary, he can understand the level of Steven"
At the same time, he also pointed to Gary, who was bidding again, and he immediately exchanged Gary's eyes.
This is obviously to blame him for explaining too early, and he has lost many good opportunities to buy fine antiques!
"What? How is it possible? It's incredible, isn't it?"
"How old is Steven! How amazing is he?"
"I said how the old fox Gary's style has changed so much, so it's because of this!"
Several antique dealers were shocked,
There is actually a freak like Steven.
So young, yet so strong, it's unbelievable!
Soon, their shock was interrupted by Ye Tian.
"OK! Gary was $8,000, and now it's $8,500, anyone?"
"Me! $8500!"
When Anderson woke up, he couldn't wait to shout, for fear that it would be too late and all the good things would fall into Gary's hands.
"Steven, $9,000"
Before Ye Tian could say anything, someone immediately raised the price.
It's time to compete for wallet thickness! The auction speed is bound to accelerate!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian seemed to see the surging US dollars, and he laughed even more happily!
...
The auction lasted for more than two hours before it ended. All the antiques were sold, and there was no first-rate auction!
Except for the last five antiques, which deliberately lowered the starting price and made huge profits to win over these antique dealers, the prices of the rest of the antiques were higher than Ye Tian's psychological price.
At the moment when the hammer of the last antique fell, Ye Tian figured out how much he could earn.
The hammer price for all the lots totaled $620,000, nearly $100,000 higher than his estimate.
Excluding the commissions to Benny and Jason, he pocketed more than $500,000, the most lucrative sum to date.
Of course, the exception is Ferrari models and baseball collectibles, which have not yet started shooting.
After the auction is over, the payment will be settled in a month or two! How can there be a strong sense of dollar stimulation in your pocket now!
Thinking of this large amount of green US dollar bills, Ye Tian was immediately excited. My buddies can also buy two Rolls-Royces, one towing the other!
Like Ye Tian, Benny and Jason were also very excited.
Benny is better, he can basically control his emotions, but Jason is completely crazy. I am afraid this kid has never owned more than 30,000 US dollars. How can he not make him crazy?
After a short period of excitement and celebration, everyone quickly adjusted their emotions and began the final steps.
According to the auction record recorded by Jason, the settlement is carried out.
As each cheque entered Ye Tian's hands, the many antiques placed on the ground quickly changed their owners.
After receiving the last check, Ye Tian suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
This batch of antiques has been processed, what a perfect harvest!
After the delivery was completed, several antique dealers quickly left with the antiques.
They still have a lot of work to do when they go back, such as restoring the original appearance of the antiques, setting sales prices, etc. I believe everyone can make a lot of money from it.
When everyone left, they whispered a few words to Ye Tian, and the content was nothing more than that they had good goods on hand in the future, so don't forget to inform them.
They both love and hate Ye Tian now!
What I love is that Ye Tian can bring high-quality antiques and make him a lot of money; what I hate is that Ye Tian's stable and ruthless offer can quickly deflate his pockets!
After several antique dealers left, Ye Tian immediately wrote two checks, one for $30,000 and the other for $60,000, and handed them to Jason and Benny respectively.
There were two bursts of almost frantic cheers in the reception room, almost deafening, no doubt from Benny and Jason.
After the celebration was over, the three of them packed up and went out to the bank not far away together.
Carrying such a large check is a bit unsafe after all, and it is troublesome to deface it, especially Ye Tian, he is not one, but several.
Not long after entering the bank, the numbers on the cheques turned into dollars in their respective accounts, and this antique transaction came to a successful conclusion!
Returning to the second-hand store again, taking a break and chatting for a while, Ye Tian looked at the time and got up to leave.
"Steven, I haven't officially thanked you yet! Don't be in a hurry to go back today. I'll treat you to a big meal. The location is up to you, any restaurant in the city will do!"
Benny began to speak out, very enthusiastic.
"Benny, thank you for your kindness, I'm very sorry, I can't do it today, I have made an appointment to have dinner with my girlfriend and enjoy the two-person world! Now I should pick her up.
Next time, we will have a chance to eat together again. I believe there will be many opportunities in the future. I hope that you can bring more antique dealers and make a fortune together! "
Ye Tian replied with a smile.
"If that's the case, then forget it, you should enjoy romantic love!"
Benny could only shrug his shoulders regretfully.
Jason beside him was surprised and asked in disbelief:
"Steven, you actually have a girlfriend? Could it be from last night? Is the girlfriend Betty?"
Facing Jason's series of curious inquiries, Ye Tian smiled and nodded.
"Yes, my girlfriend is Betty. My buddy won it last night. I will have dinner with her later and enjoy the wonderful world of two!"
After he finished speaking, he left, walked briskly out of the second-hand store, and walked towards Chevrolet by the roadside.
Looking at the back of his departure, Jason suddenly let out a heartfelt sigh.
"This is the luckiest man I've ever met, with both money and love! How happy!"
"Who said it wasn't! It's so enviable!"
Benny is also very emotional!
