Treasure Hunt all over the World

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, welcome to Sotheby's New York, today is the first day of New York's autumn auction, here is Sotheby's Classical Furniture Auction, I hope everyone can gain something and return with a rewarding experience!

I am Brad, the auctioneer, and I am in charge of this auction. I will announce the rules below. This auction is an English auction. I will announce the starting price and minimum increase of the lot. Bidders will start from the starting price and bid from low to high! ..."

The auctioneer began to read the auction rules aloud, while many bidders listened intently.

Only Ye Tianxin was not here, lightly flipping through the auction catalog in his hand, looking at the pictures and information of each item, not caring about the auction rules.

The antiques he sent for auction all have reserve prices, and if the bidding fails to meet the reserve price, the auction will be automatically passed, so there is no need to worry.

Moreover, the reserve price he set is not low, it is basically equivalent to the market price, just a little lower, no one can take advantage of it, there is no way!

More importantly, he had no interest in participating in the bidding at all, he just came here to feel the atmosphere. After all, it was the first auction, so he should come and see it.

While he was flipping through the auction catalogue, there would be whispers next to him from time to time.

Mr. Li, who is engaged in the Internet, is translating the auction rules for Ma Ye and another domestic collector, neither of whom understand English.

It took about ten minutes before Brad introduced the auction rules and many precautions, and the auction officially started!

The eyes of all the bidders on the scene lit up, staring at Brad on the stage and the large projection screen next to the auction stage.

This is a special auction for antique furniture. Many of the furniture are relatively large in size and heavy in weight. Some of them are complete sets of furniture, which cannot be displayed on site at all, so we can only use projection display.

Before participating in this auction, most of the bidders went to the warehouse to visit these furniture and conducted careful identification and research.

But for Ye Tian, ​​this way of display made him lose an opportunity.

If those antique furniture were placed on the scene, maybe he could discover some hidden secrets, or find furniture whose value was seriously underestimated, and maybe he could pick up a few leaks.

But these antique furniture were not on the scene, so his clairvoyant ability was useless, so he could only put his flag down and wait for the auction results!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is now open. The first lot is a side table from Paris, France, made at the end of the 19th century. It is a typical neoclassical style furniture! It has a unique shape and exquisite workmanship!"

Brad began to introduce the first lot, speaking quickly and loudly, everyone present could hear clearly.

The bidders who are interested in this side table are already excited and eager to try it. They are waiting for the introduction to be completed and the bidding to officially start.

"OK! Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price for this side table is 20,000 US dollars, and each increase must not be less than 1,000 US dollars. Bids are now starting, 20,000 US dollars, 20,000 US dollars, anyone accept the price?"

Brad quoted the starting price, shouting like a cannonball!

While quoting, his head also began to turn quickly from side to side, inspecting the many bidders in the audience, his eyes were extremely sharp, to see if anyone raised a placard to bid.

There are two people on both sides of the auction table staring at the many bidders at the scene, ready to remind Brad at any time, so as not to miss the bidder's bid!

There are two to three hundred people sitting in the entire auction hall, and nearly two hundred bidding plates have been handed out. An auctioneer can't keep an eye on them, so there must be helpers!

In addition to the many bidders who went to the site in person, there are also many telephone and Internet bidders who are conducting remote bidding through telephone and Internet.

There are two rows of computers and phones on both sides of the auction hall against the walls.

More than a dozen Sotheby's staff are standing there, waiting for instructions from the phone or computer,

Be ready to put up a bid at any time.

When Brad reported the price of the first lot, the scene immediately became restless, and the other end of the phone and computer also became restless.

The auction hall began to heat up gradually, and people became more and more excited!

This is the charm of on-site auctions. When fierce bidding unfolds, under the control of excited emotions, the decisions people make are not necessarily the result of rational thinking!

And this is exactly what auction houses and sellers want to see! The more competitive the better!

Someone raised the bidding number plate! Followed by Brad's voice.

"OK! There is an offer for $20,000. It's number 115, a beautiful lady. Thank you! Now it's $21,000, $2,100. Which lady or gentleman should offer?"

Brad shouted without any interruption, full of energy and passion! Lianzhu cannons are shooting like fire!

On the other side of the telephone entrustment, a Sotheby's staff held up the bidding number plate.

"There is a bid for $21,000. It's a telephone bid, No. 260! Now it's $22,000, $22,000. Is there any bid? This is classic antique furniture from Paris. It's rare. Don't miss it!"

Brad yelled quickly, while quoting, he was also constantly bewitching and instigating, trying to attract more competitors to participate in the bidding.

Soon, someone raised the bidding number plate again, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more heated, and the competition gradually began to intensify!

After nearly ten rounds of bidding, the auction of this side table has reached its final stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone else to offer? $40,000 for the first time, second time, sold! Deal! $38,000! Mr. No. 156, congratulations!"

Brad quickly completed the countdown. Seeing that there were no more bids, he immediately swung his right hand and knocked down the auction mallet. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand to gesture for the position of No. 156.

"boom!"

With the final word, the first piece of antique furniture was sold.

Immediately afterwards, the big screen displayed the second piece of antique furniture.

This is an antique desk made locally in New York, made of mahogany wood, made in the early 20th century, passed through the hands of several celebrities, passed down in an orderly manner, and is worth a lot of money!

Auction starts soon with bids starting at $42,000!

Ye Tian is not interested in these antique furniture that cannot be seen.

He just learned about the situation, and quickly shifted his attention, chatting with Betty in a low voice, waiting for his two pieces of antique furniture to appear.

The first few items in the auction were European and American antique furniture, and Ma Ye and the others were not very interested, discussing in low voices.

While chatting, these people turned their attention to Ye Tian again.

"Ye Tian, ​​I heard that you raided the entire Corridor 127. Is it true or not? If it is true, it would be very encouraging! You should rob these foreign devils as revenge!

I watched the auction preview of Sotheby's Chinese Porcelain Special Sale, and there are several pieces of porcelain that are very good. As far as I know, the Kangxi imitation Ru kiln in the Qing Dynasty came out of your hands, right?

In the future, if you find antiques like top-quality porcelain, or Chinese paintings, calligraphy, etc., don’t send them to Sotheby’s, just pass them on to us, and we will definitely give you the most reasonable price!

In this way, we can get our beloved high-quality antiques and bring them back to the country, and you can also get benefits, so that Sotheby's won't make money from both of us. It's a shame to think about it! "

Master Ma interjected a few words, feeling a little annoyed.

He was right, if an antique artwork passed through Sotheby's auction house, the buyer and the seller would have to be stripped of their skins, and the sum would be 30% of the auction price, or even more!

If you can save this money and put it in your own pocket, that would be great!

"Master Ma, the Kangxi imitation Ru kiln sunflower wash is indeed mine. In addition, I have several antique porcelains that will also appear in the special auction of Chinese porcelain, but they are not as exquisite as the Kangxi imitation Ru kiln!

Your suggestion is very good. We really don't need to let these foreign devils skin it twice. Please leave your contact information later. If I receive a good Chinese antique, I will definitely contact you as soon as possible.

As for the matter of Corridor 127, it is indeed true. In the face of the schemes passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years, Lao Mei's little brains are not enough to look at, and she was indeed robbed by her buddies! "

Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, his pride was beyond words.

"Hahaha, well done!"

Master Ma and the others laughed softly, feeling very happy.

At the same time, the eyes of the few of them suddenly lit up, shining brightly with excitement!

The boy in front of him, despite his young age, is a legendary professional treasure hunter. He has found many heavyweight antique works of art, including some of the top quality!

If we get in touch with this guy, wouldn't there be a steady stream of high-quality antiques in the future, everything that one expects to find!

Moreover, this kid's eyesight is extremely sharp, and he has never looked past it, so he can avoid the worry of buying fake products and save a lot of worry!

Another point is that the antique works of art bought from this kid are considered to be returned from Europe and the United States. Not only can it save a lot of trouble, but it can also stand on the side of righteousness!

Where can I find such beauty? Now that you have encountered it, how can you miss it!

Thinking of this, Ma Ye and the others immediately took out their mobile phones and exchanged contact information with Ye Tian.

Invisibly, a channel for the return of Chinese antiques and cultural relics was formed so easily, both sides benefited, and everyone was happy!

Only Sotheby's Auction House lost a lot of business unknowingly, and lost a lot of profits. It is undoubtedly the most unlucky one!

But who can control them? I love it!

After putting away their mobile phones, several people continued to chat in low voices, not paying attention to the on-site auction.

The two pieces displayed one after another are still western antique furniture, and no one is interested.

"Ye Tian, ​​tell me about your experience in Corridor 127. You can also hear related rumors in China. It's a bit miraculous! Since I met you here, let me tell you about it!"

Mr. Liu whispered, eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

"Okay, it's okay to talk about it! But the location is not suitable now, so I will just say a few words. After this auction is over, let's talk in detail!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded in agreement, and then began to describe what happened in Corridor 127.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and six or seven pieces of antique furniture had already been auctioned, none of which were top-notch, and the auction went smoothly!

The picture of another piece of antique furniture is projected on the big screen, and a full-scale and multi-angle comprehensive display begins!

At the same time, the voice of auctioneer Brad came.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next lot is quite special. This is an American country style desk and a Duke chair, made of cherry wood, from Chattanooga, Tennessee, made in 1925,..."

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking, and looked up at the large projection screen.

Finally it's the turn of my buddy's antique furniture! Don't know what price to bid?
