Chapter 668 You Can Save One More Time

The moment Ye Tian heard the price, he immediately raised his hand and pointed to that side, and said loudly:

"Thank you for your support! The first bidder is a famous art dealer from Los Angeles, Mr. Scott, the current price is 31 million US dollars, 31 million, which gentleman should bid? It's time to sell!"

While shouting, his eyes kept scanning the scene to see if anyone offered another offer.

A red wine glass was raised in the back row, followed by a familiar voice.

"$32 million! I want this El Greco painting!"

Ye Tian raised his hand to gesture over there, smiled and said loudly:

"Welcome Mr. Davis from Houston. Mr. Davis raised the price to 32 million US dollars, which is very generous! Now it is 33 million US dollars, 33 million US dollars. The time to make a move has come. Don't hesitate anymore, gentlemen!"

There is no need for him to confuse, everyone at the scene is full of fighting spirit.

As long as the goods are authentic, this kind of private auction is undoubtedly the auction that everyone is most willing to participate in.

There is no entrustment arranged by the auction house or the owner of the artwork, and there is no malicious intention to drive up the price, or other shady means!

Everyone fights with their own judgment and the real money in their pockets. Even if they lose to others, there is nothing to complain about!

More importantly, participating in this kind of private auction can save 15%-20% of the auction commission, which is not a small sum of money.

Coupled with the two top famous paintings that have been missing for nearly 300 years, everyone on the scene is full of fighting spirit and ready to fight to the end!

"$35 million, Steven!"

Once again, someone responded loudly and directly raised 3 million US dollars, which seemed to be a certainty!

The bidder was the art dealer of Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico, a middle-aged Hispanic man.

Hearing the quotation, everyone at the scene turned their heads to look over there.

Seeing that it was him who made the shot, the faces of the rest of the people who were interested in El Greco's oil painting suddenly became more dignified!

As we all know, Carlos is very fond of top art from Spain and has collected many masterpieces!

Among them are the works of top modern and contemporary art masters such as Picasso and Dali, as well as masterpieces of classical art masters such as Velázquez and El Greco.

Since his art dealer is going to participate in the competition, there is no doubt that he will be the most powerful competitor and everyone's main opponent!

At this moment, Ye Tian's heart immediately burst into ecstasy, and he was so excited that he was almost dancing!

awesome! The biggest fat sheep is over! Who would be worthy of a knife if I don't kill you severely?

This El Greco painting is sure to fetch sky-high prices! No doubt!

The next moment, Ye Tian raised his hand and pointed at the location of the Hispanic art dealer, and continued to quote passionately, his voice instantly raised by an octave!

"35 million US dollars! Mr. Marquez quoted 35 million US dollars, welcome to participate in the bidding, the current price is 37 million US dollars, 37 million US dollars, who will take this price? Gentlemen"

"Here, Steven, 37 million!"

Leon raised his hand and joined the battle, another super rich man!

"Great! Mr. Leon from Palm Beach, Miami is welcome to participate in the competition. He should be priced at 37 million US dollars. The latest price is 39 million US dollars. 39 million, gentlemen, don't be cautious, this opportunity is not to be missed!"

Ye Tian's passionate voice came again, trying his best to confuse everyone, wishing he could spend every penny in everyone's pockets.

The auction continued, the quotations kept coming and going, one arm kept raising and lowering, the competition became more and more fierce, and the atmosphere of the scene became more and more hot!

In a blink of an eye, the quotation for this oil painting exceeded 80 million US dollars!

quoted this price,

It was Carlos Slim's art dealer, Marquez!

The moment he heard the price, Ye Tian immediately burst into a bright smile.

80 million US dollars is the reserve price he set for this top oil painting, and it was easily reached. It seems that the price is still a bit conservative, and it should be set higher!

Next, no matter what the price is, it is a foregone conclusion that this top oil painting will be successfully auctioned.

In other words, this El Greco oil painting will soon cease to belong to Ye Tian, ​​and will be acquired by others, and what he gets will be a large sum of green dollars!

Hearing this quotation, there was a burst of discussion in the room.

"80 million US dollars, isn't it a bit too expensive? It seems that El Greco's paintings have never been auctioned for such a sky-high price!"

"That's right! This is indeed a record for El Greco's paintings, but considering that there is no need to pay auction commissions and the artistic value of this oil painting, the price is reasonable!

You must know that El Greco's paintings are extremely rare in the art market. The few paintings that were auctioned before are basically middle and early works, which is obviously not the same as this one! "

While everyone was discussing, David and Matisse were completely overwhelmed by ecstasy.

They all know the origin of this oil painting and the price Ye Tian paid for it!

Compared with the leaks that Ye Tian picked up before, the cost of obtaining this oil painting is undoubtedly the highest, as high as 10 million US dollars, unprecedented!

From their point of view, it is certain that Ye Tian will make a lot of money with this top-notch oil painting, but 50 million U.S. dollars will be the best!

But who would have thought that the auction price would break through 80 million US dollars so easily, and the competition is still very fierce and full of momentum!

While ecstatic, David and the others were also quite emotional.

My own ambition and imagination are still very limited, perhaps this is one of the places where I am not as good as Steven!

The price continued to soar and soon topped $100 million.

This price point is a huge watershed and a price ceiling set by most bidders.

When Leon quoted this price, several competitors could only shake their heads helplessly, announcing their withdrawal from the competition, with disappointment, regret, and reluctance on their faces!

There are only two competitors left, Leon and Marquez representing Carlos Slim.

One is an American investment banker who is worth tens of billions of dollars and manages assets of 200 billion dollars; the other is a Mexican telecommunications giant worth 60 to 70 billion dollars, ranking second in the world's richest list!

These two people have one thing in common, the most important thing in their hands is the dollar!

The duel between the two heroes begins, and the winner will soon be decided!

The rest of the people have withdrawn from the competition, so don't worry about them anymore, Ye Tian shifted all his attention to the remaining two.

"Leon offered 100 million U.S. dollars, an amazing price, now it is 105 million U.S. dollars, 105 million U.S. dollars, Mr. Marquez, are you ready to accept this price?

This is El Greco at his peak! An outstanding representative of Spanish art! Absolutely not to be missed! I believe Mr. Carlos must need such a top-level painting in his collection room! "

"Steven, in addition to being a professional treasure hunter and an expert in the appraisal of antique works of art, you can also be an auctioneer. You are so good at deceiving people! You are too ruthless!"

Marquez scolded with a grin.

"Hahaha, this suggestion is good, I will consider it! How about it, 105 million US dollars, do you accept this price? If you don't accept it, I will drop the hammer!"

Ye Tian laughed and made a joke, and immediately returned to the main topic, his eyes glowed green, and there were dollar signs in his eyes.

Marquez nodded affirmatively, and said firmly:

"Who made Mr. Carlos like this famous painting! As his art dealer, I naturally have to meet the client's request, 110 million US dollars, I am bound to get this oil painting!"

"Awesome! Thank you for your generosity!"

Ye Tian sighed in admiration, and immediately turned his gaze to Leon.

"It's your turn, Leon! 115 million US dollars, I'm very sure, for you, this price is not a problem at all, it's just a drop in the bucket!"

"Steven, you're such a greedy bastard! Well, $115 million, I'll take it!"

Leon gritted his teeth with a wry smile and accepted the price, not forgetting to attack Ye Tianlai personally.

Obviously, this is approaching the limit of his tolerance.

The voice here just fell, and before Ye Tian could speak, Marquez's voice came to everyone's ears first.

"$125 million, Steven!"

After the bid was over, the guy immediately smiled and nodded at Leon, very friendly!

Although there were no words, everyone knew what he meant, and this was to let Leon hold his hands high!

Leon gave the answer he wanted, shook his head slightly, with disappointment and regret in his eyes.

Ye Tian could see everything that happened in front of him clearly, but he didn't say anything to interfere.

The quotation for El Greco's oil painting has reached 125 million US dollars, which has far exceeded expectations. It is time to accept it as soon as it is good, and you can't be greedy!

These well-known collectors and art dealers on site will be my long-term clients in the future, and they must maintain a good relationship. One-off deals cannot be done!

After a short pause, he immediately stared at Leon and said loudly:

"Marquez quoted 125 million U.S. dollars, now 130 million U.S. dollars, 130 million U.S. dollars, Leon, you can make a move, accept this price? Don't miss this opportunity, never again!"

the answer is negative!

Leon shook his head, smiled wryly and said:

"The price is too high, it has broken through my price limit, I quit, very sorry! Congratulations, Marquez, you have captured a top-notch artwork!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately joked and said:

"Don't mind! Leon, you must persevere, there is still hope, I think you can save it again!"

"Hahaha"

There was a sudden burst of laughter.

Everyone at the scene laughed out loud, the sound was so loud that the ceiling of this suite was almost blown off!
