Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 424 Top Chinese Furniture

Ye Tian died down in a blink of an eye, chatted with the people around him in a low voice, and started watching from the sidelines.

His intention to shoot was very obvious, and the effect was really good, completely achieving his goal.

Competition has become more and more fierce, and substantial price increases have finally begun to appear.

Affected by the fiery competitive atmosphere, those bidders who were interested in this set of antique furniture unknowingly became a little irrational, and the bidding began to become blind and impulsive!

In rounds of bidding, the quotation of this set of antique furniture continued to rise until it exceeded 350,000 US dollars, and then the growth rate gradually slowed down.

At this point, most of the bidders have withdrawn from the competition, and only two are still bidding.

These two bidders are also close to the limit, and the time to think about each bid is getting longer and longer, and their faces are getting more and more dignified and ugly!

They never expected that the price of this set of furniture would soar to this level, which has far exceeded their expectations!

However, now they are unwilling to give up on them, so they still insist, every time they grit their molars and raise their cards!

For Ye Tian, ​​they all hated it so much that their teeth itch.

It's all because of that bottomless bastard! If he hadn't provoked the war deliberately, the price of this set of furniture would never have been pushed up to such a high level, and it would be around 200,000 yuan.

It's good now, he has doubled so quickly!

Ye Tian, ​​who caused this situation, is already very satisfied with this price, and doesn't plan to make another move, just waiting to reap the dollars!

After three more rounds of bidding, the auction entered its final stages.

"$420,000, $420,000, is there an offer? Mr. Erwin, do you offer?"

Brad shouted quickly, staring at bidder No. 25 in the front row, his direction was very clear.

There are only two bidders left, so there is no need to pay attention to other people! Unless Cheng Yaojin is killed in the oblique stab!

Erwin shook his head in disappointment, expressing his abandonment of the bidding and declaring his withdrawal from the competition.

Immediately afterwards, Brad's voice sounded again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last chance, the first and second time for $420,000, Sold! The deal for $410,000! Congratulations to Mr. No. 149 for taking this set of antique furniture!"

With the announcement of the auction results, the auction mallet in Brad's hand fell heavily.

"boom!"

With the final word, the auction ended.

"Amazing! Perfect result!"

Ye Tian waved his fist excitedly, with the brightest smile on his face.

Betty, who was sitting next to her, was also very excited.

After a little celebration, Ye Tian quickly adjusted his mood, smiled and turned to look at bidder No. 149 not far behind him, and nodded to him!

Bidder No. 149 couldn't be happy at this time, he couldn't see the joy of success at all on his face, and he had a wry smile on his face, which couldn't be better than crying!

Seeing Ye Tianchong signal to himself, the bidder immediately gave him an annoyed look, and almost gave him the middle finger!

To this kind of unfriendly response, Ye Tian didn't care at all, and turned his head directly.

"Yes! I've opened my eyes today! You're too ruthless and high-profile! No wonder you're full of enemies! I've never seen a guy like you!"

Ma Ye said with emotion, with an expression of admiration.

"Ye Tian, ​​aren't you afraid that the other party will break the contract and fail to pay? This kind of thing is not uncommon. Don't let the bamboo basket fetch water in the end, it's not worth it!"

The other domestic collector whispered, obviously a little worried.

Ye Tian shook his head lightly, smiled and said:

"No! The United States is a mature credit society. Personal credit is very important and will affect every aspect of life. Anyone with a little sense will not easily leave credit stains.

This is especially true in the auction field.

If he wants to continue participating in such high-level auctions, he must not leave a stain on his credit in the auction house, otherwise he will lose more than just the deposit! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Ma explained:

"Ye Tian is right, top auctions like Sotheby's New York Autumn Auctions attach great importance to credit records, and it is very difficult for those who have left a stain on their credit at the auction house to be eligible to bid again.

In the past few years, there have indeed been many incidents of auctioning antiques at high prices without paying, and then walking away. Except for some guys who use the auction to secretly hype, the rest are basically laymen!

Antique dealers and collectors who often participate in such top-level auctions will not easily make such low-level mistakes. This is a minefield and cannot be easily touched! And it's not worth it! "

Afterwards, Ye Tian explained a few more words, without any worries at all.

"Take a step back, even if this guy breaks the contract, I have nothing to worry about. This set of antique furniture may fetch a higher price in the future, allowing me to earn more!

Sherman's march notes contain a lot of information, I will gradually publish it, it will definitely cause a sensation, and the value of this set of antique furniture will naturally increase! "

"You kid is so cunning! You have been using that marching notebook to whet Laomei's appetite, high! It's really high!"

Mr. Li said with a low smile, and gave Ye Tian a thumbs up again.

The auction continues! The atmosphere at the scene is getting hotter and hotter, and the bidding for number plates is one after another, which is very lively!

Another two or three pieces of European and American antique furniture were auctioned one after another, and the transaction prices were quite good!

Immediately afterwards, Chinese antique furniture began to appear on the stage, and when it appeared, it was a boutique!

The first thing to appear is a red sandalwood fan-shaped south official hat chair of the Ming Dynasty. It was made in the early Ming Dynasty. It is an extremely rare piece of Ming-style furniture.

When this chair appeared on the big screen, Ma Ye immediately leaned forward, his eyes lit up, staring at the big screen without blinking! His eyes were extremely hot.

Even his breathing suddenly became much heavier, and his face was flushed, as if he had drunk eight taels! Very excited! The creases on the face were instantly opened, as if a lot younger!

At this moment, Ma Ye has an extremely focused expression and an extremely affectionate gaze, which is nothing more than the same for his first love!

Seeing his performance, Ye Tian suddenly understood.

have to! This man came here just for this chair!

"Master Ma, have you taken a fancy to this red sandalwood official hat chair?"

Ye Tian smiled and asked in a low voice, interrupting the one who was concentrating on admiring.

He did it on purpose, so that this master wouldn't go over excitedly, it would be too worthless!

"Of course, I came to New York for this chair, which is the pinnacle of Ming-style furniture and represents the highest level of Chinese antique furniture.

Mr. Wang Shixiang wrote a similar official hat chair in "Research on Ming-style Furniture", and he praised it very highly. It was only in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was still a bit worse than this chair!

I have always wanted to buy such a chair, but I have never had a chance. Now that I have met it this time, I must not miss it, otherwise it will be difficult to come across it again.

The only pity is that this auction only has one chair instead of a pair, even so, I am very satisfied, this chair is definitely for me! "

Master Ma said quickly in a low voice, his tone extremely excited.

While speaking, he kept staring at the picture of the official hat chair on the big screen, never leaving his eyes for a moment, which shows how much he loves this official hat chair.

The same goes for the other three people next to them, all with fascinated expressions, staring at the official hat chair on the big screen, their eyes are extremely hot!

Although they love this chair very much, they probably won't compete with Master Ma. After all, we all came here together, so we still have to take care of face!

As for Ye Tian, ​​looking at this red sandalwood chair is also very eye-catching, but he has no intention of keeping it in his pocket.

New York is not a good place to collect Chinese furniture, and such a chair in my apartment is a bit nondescript, so forget it!

The best collection environment for this kind of antiques is still in China, where more people know how to appreciate it, and can better understand the aesthetic taste that comes from blood.

Of course, if Master Ma withdraws from the competition midway, Ye Tian doesn't mind making a full effort to win this art treasure left by his ancestors.

In comparison, the U.S. dollar is the least important thing. If you miss it twice, you will get everything back!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:

"Master Ma, I wish you the best of luck and success in taking down this red sandalwood official hat chair. If you need help, just talk, if nothing else, I am competent as an interpreter!

If you need legal services, there is no problem. My lawyer is on Wall Street, very close to here, and can be there in about ten minutes.

And I'm fairly familiar with Sotheby's, and I have a bit of face, so I can speak up. As long as it's not too important, I believe I can solve it! "

"Hahaha, I've heard about the cooperative relationship between you and Sotheby's auction house, and it's true that we old guys are ashamed of themselves!

Respect is worse than obedience! Just help me with the translation right now, the foreign devil on the stage has a mouth like a machine gun, and Xiao Li's English is second to none, I'm really afraid of getting caught! "

Ma Ye said with a smile, and did not reject Ye Tian's kindness.

"Hahaha"

Everyone was laughing and very relaxed.

That Mr. Li just smiled and didn't care about Master Ma's joke.

He may be able to handle English at a normal speed, but it is really difficult for him to handle English that is like a machine gun like an auctioneer and mixed with a lot of technical terms!

While speaking, Brad, who took a break, returned to the auction stage and released a loud voice again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction continues. The next auction is Chinese antique furniture. The first thing to appear is a chair from the Ming Dynasty in China 500 years ago, a red sandalwood fan-shaped Nanguan hat chair,...") Download free reading device!!
