Treasure Hunt all over the World

Two Sotheby's employees came out of the temporary vault, carrying Paul Cézanne's oil painting "Mont Saint-Victor" in their hands, walked slowly and carefully onto the auction stage, and walked towards the display rack.

Behind the two of them, an FBI armed special agent and a Sotheby's armed security guard followed closely, on high alert to protect this top oil painting.

The rest of the security personnel in the auction hall had also received the order, and immediately raised the alert level to the highest level, staring vigilantly at the oil paintings on the auction stage and the many buyers at the scene, ready to respond at any time.

The big screen began to simultaneously display the picture of this top-level oil painting, as well as relevant information such as the creation year, creation background, scale, painting techniques, related comments, etc., in great detail without any omission.

At the same time, the big screen also introduced Paul Cézanne.

The words "Father of Modern Painting" on the screen are extremely eye-catching, radiating dazzling light, making people almost unable to open their eyes!

The scene was extremely quiet, there was hardly any sound!

Everyone stared at the painting with bated breath, not daring to vent their breath, for fear of disturbing the staff and causing the top oil painting to fall to the ground and suffer undue damage.

In a blink of an eye, two staff members put this top oil painting on the display stand for everyone to appreciate.

The two armed security guards who followed have also stood on both sides of the display stand, protecting this top oil painting at close range.

"call!"

Everyone at the scene let out a long breath and relaxed a lot.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the auction hall stood up.

"clap clap"

The applause suddenly sounded, lasting and warm, resounding through the entire auction hall.

Hearing the enthusiastic applause beside his ears, and seeing the excited expressions of the people, Ye Tian's mood was naturally incomparably joyful, to the extreme!

This is an oil painting belonging to my buddies, the top art work!

After the applause fell, everyone sat down and began to concentrate on appreciating the top oil painting on the stage.

"It's so beautiful! It is worthy of being the work of a top art master. Whether it is the use of color, the layout of the picture, etc., all the details are impeccable. It is definitely the top art work!"

"The color change is like a symphony, with rich and harmonious layers. There is no doubt! This is Paul Cézanne! This is the pinnacle of post-impressionist art! It is much better than the previous auctions!"

While admiring this famous painting intoxicatedly, many people are already gearing up, staring at this famous painting on the stage with extremely hot eyes, waiting for the auction to start, and the fight will begin!

As long as John's voice sounds on the auction stage, a fierce war will start immediately without gunpowder, and no matter who is the final winner, he will have to pay a huge price!

However, now these competitors only have "Mont Sainte-Victoire" in their eyes, and the dollar is probably the least important thing!

"Steven, these guys seem to be going crazy. You will definitely make a lot of money today. Maybe this oil painting will set an auction record!"

Jason turned his head to look at the situation in the auction hall, and said with emotion.

"Hahaha, the crazier they are, the better the competition will be, so that you can earn more, but it is very difficult to create an auction record with this "Mont Sainte-Victoire".

Although this oil painting is a masterpiece of Cézanne's later years and a concentrated expression of his artistic thoughts, he has painted Mont Sainte-Victor for 20 years, and there are too many oil paintings of the same theme, which will inevitably affect its value.

Even so, as a representative work of Paul Cézanne, the auction price of this oil painting is definitely not that low. According to my estimation, it should be no problem for this oil painting to fetch 150 million US dollars! "

Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, the sun was shining brightly on his face.

"Wow! $150 million! That's unbelievable, we'll see!"

Jason exclaimed,

The eyes flashed with crazy colors.

At the end of the short display time, John's passionate voice resounded through the entire auction hall again, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's highlight is here. The next auction will be one of the masterpieces of French Post-Impressionist painting master Paul Cézanne, "Mont Saint-Victor."

no doubt! This is one of the top works of art in the world today. I am very honored to be able to host the auction of such a top work of art. It will be the honor of my life!

Here, I would like to thank the discoverer and owner of this oil painting, Mr. Steven! Thank you for discovering this top-notch work of art, and thank you for choosing Sotheby's auction house! "

As he said that, John stretched out his hand and gestured towards Ye Tian's position.

Ye Tian was also very cooperative, nodded to John with a smile, then immediately stood up and turned around, waving to everyone in the auction hall, with a bright smile on his face!

"clap clap"

The applause sounded again, still very enthusiastic.

Along with the applause, there were many cheers followed.

"Steven, great work!"

"Thank you man! Let's see this top art!"

Although many people didn't want to, they had to applaud and cheer for Ye Tian.

It was Steven who made these two top-level oil paintings reappear in the light of day, re-blooming bright artistic light for the world to appreciate! Instead of burying in the sandwich walls of the apartment and slowly rotting away!

It was this extremely lucky boy who gave him the chance to obtain the top-level artwork, and he should be given warm applause and applause both emotionally and rationally!

While applauding and applauding, the eyes of everyone in the auction hall were also full of envy, and their eyes were a little red!

This bastard Steven must be the luckiest person in the world to find two top-quality oil paintings in the apartment. Why isn't that person me? Why am I not so lucky?

God is so unfair! All the good things seem to go to Steven the bastard! Others can only stand by and watch enviously!

Of course, there are not only envious and jealous eyes in the auction hall, but also an extremely resentful eyes staring at Ye Tian, ​​both eyes are blood red, and the eye sockets are about to burst!

No need to ask, this look must have come from Bastian.

At this moment, his heart is bleeding crazily! Terrible!

And his brothers and sisters far away in Paris are in the same situation, they all stare at Ye Tian on the computer screen, gnashing their teeth with hatred, but there is nothing they can do!

After greeting everyone, Ye Tian turned around and sat down, waiting for the bidding to start with a relaxed expression.

John's loud voice came again, very clearly!

At this time, his whole body is full of passion and vitality, as if he has been beaten with chicken blood!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Sotheby's auction house has made the most rigorous and scientific appraisal of this oil painting, and it is absolutely certain that this is the authentic work of Paul Cézanne, created around 1890.

Mont Saint-Victor is a landscape near Paul Cézanne's hometown of Aix. Around this theme, Paul Cézanne has tirelessly explored it for nearly 20 years, leaving behind many variant paintings of the same theme.

This work is a masterpiece of Paul Cézanne in his later years, and it is also a concentrated expression of his artistic thoughts. It has a very important position in the history of painting, and its artistic value is extraordinary. It is the top art work!

The scenery in the painting floats in the colors, and the distance and space relationship of the scenery are completely replaced by geometric shapes, like a symphonic poem with rich layers and harmony, perfect and incomparable!

The starting price for "Mont Sainte-Victoire" is US$40 million, and the minimum increase shall not be less than US$1 million. The bidding starts now, US$40 million, US$40 million, which lady or gentleman should bid? "

While quoting loudly, John's eyes, like eagle eyes, began to patrol the entire auction hall, which were extremely bright and sharp!

The same goes for the rest of the auction assistants, who are patrolling the auction site, ready to remind John at any time, in case an offer is missed!

At this time, each of them was extremely excited, and their eyes were shining!

How many times can such top art auctions be held? Can you not be excited?

Before John's voice fell, the entire auction hall was already fried!

"Oh my god! The starting bid is $40 million! That's an exaggeration! He's the craziest guy in New York, Steven, the bastard, is so ruthless to the extreme!"

"There is no doubt that this is the highest starting price since the autumn auction started this year! I really admire the bastard Steven, his hands are too dark! This is an attempt to empty the pockets of bidders! It is simply looting!"

"The auction starts at US$40 million! It is conceivable that Steven's reserve price is at least US$60 million, and the transaction price of more than US$100 million is almost certain. Today we are going to witness a miracle!"

While exclaiming and discussing, everyone couldn't help looking at Ye Tian who was sitting in the front row with a relaxed expression. Everyone's eyes were full of shock and envy!

Although this starting price is extremely high, for truly capable buyers, they don't take it seriously at all, and no one thinks that they can successfully bid for this famous painting at this price.

"$45 million, John!"

Someone shouted loudly and held up the bidding number plate.

The price was raised substantially for the first time when the sign was raised, and it was as high as 5 million US dollars!

The auction hall was boiling again, and everyone turned to look at the source of the sound. Free Reader!!
