Ye Tian's seemingly crazy house sweeping operation not only shocked everyone, but also significantly pushed up the prices of luxury homes around Central Park.
Those wealthy people who are planning to purchase residences around Central Park in the near future are angry and itching to hate the sudden sharp increase in real estate prices.
But what can they do? There is absolutely no way to deal with Ye Tian!
The most they can do is complain to the news media, complaining that Ye Tian is disrupting the market; then curse in private, then stop and choose to avoid it, and wait until the time is right before taking action!
Fortunately, only the top-end luxury housing market was affected. Apart from shock and envy, ordinary people had no personal feelings, so there was no scene of excitement.
Many people have guessed the reason why Ye Tian spent a lot of money and frequently purchased luxury homes at this time, it was to avoid taxes! Everyone is doing the same thing, just not as crazy!
Of course the guys at the IRS understand it, but they can't do anything but watch with eyes blazing! I’m so anxious but there’s nothing I can do!
That’s hundreds of millions of dollars! In the blink of an eye, it turned into piles of reinforced concrete and high-end luxury homes, but they had nothing to do with me. Who wouldn't feel sad?
Due to time constraints, today’s top-notch mansion is Ye Tian’s last goal. After acquiring this mansion and completing the formalities, the tax filing deadline should be here!
By then, Ye Tian's crazy house sweeping operation will also officially end.
As soon as the real estate agent Martin finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately said with a smile:
“This apartment is very nice. I like it very much. As an antique art appraisal expert, I have long admired this mansion! I have long wanted to come here to see it!
However, I never thought that one day, I would become the master of this place! It’s incredible, it’s all like a dream, so unreal!
The only pity is that Mr. Ellsworth’s lifelong collection of more than 2,000 pieces of dazzling antique art is no longer in this apartment. What a pity!
It would be great if those babies were still here! I'm willing to spend more dollars, even hundreds of millions! Come and take over this mansion and those valuable antiques and artworks.
Among Ellsworth's many collections, I like the Ming-style furniture the most. They are rare and priceless treasures. They are the pinnacle of traditional Chinese furniture. They can only be found but not sought!
But unfortunately, I arrived too late, and the guys from the Christie's auction house beat me to it, carting away all 2,000 pieces of antique art and auctioning them all off! "
Ye Tian said a few words of emotion, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
That’s right! This top-level apartment is the former residence of Ellsworth, a famous Western collector and antique dealer known as the "King of the Ming Dynasty."
Ellsworth, a well-known antique dealer and collector in New York, is recognized as one of the most discerning and tasteful antique dealers and collectors in the United States and the entire Western art world. He is known as the "Godfather of Chinese Antiques."
He has very profound attainments in Chinese calligraphy and painting, inscriptions, study art, classical furniture, etc., and owns a large number of collection-level antique art, all of which are valuable!
Especially in the research and collection of Ming Dynasty furniture, he can be regarded as one of the most authoritative experts and scholars, and is known as the "King of the Ming Dynasty".
The four Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchairs and a large huanghuali table that were in his hands were extremely rare and priceless treasures. Even Ye Tian was envying those treasures and wanted to keep them in his pocket!
Unfortunately, this old man fell down in his apartment more than a year ago, and then passed away!
Not long after, his lifelong collection of more than 2,000 pieces of antique art displayed in this apartment were all shipped away by Christie's, and then all were auctioned within seven days.
Before this, this apartment was definitely famous in the field of antique art collection in New York. It was a place that many insiders wanted to enter and take a look at.
This former apartment displayed Chinese furniture, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jades, rare books, Japanese, Indian, Himalayan, Southeast Asian art, etc. Collection-level antiques and art can be seen everywhere!
In addition, there are many traditional British furniture, European decorative arts, and modern paintings here, all arranged in an orderly manner. Eastern and Western art blend together and coexist harmoniously!
When Ellsworth was alive, this apartment was not only a private home, but also a rich museum. It was also the top social venue in the field of antique and art collection in New York. How many people wanted to come in!
In this apartment, he spent time with many top antiques and artworks, studying and feeling the beauty contained in them. He also entertained friends and met with clients here.
This place was once full of guests, including museum directors from Europe, young scholars from China, top collectors, curators, art dealers from all over the world, etc. It was very lively!
The great collector John Rockefeller III was his loyal buyer, actress Claudette Colbert was his confidante, and pop music superstar Frank Sinatra often sang in this apartment.
Even John Gotti, the notorious Mafia boss in New York history, came here many times before he was imprisoned in 1992, cultivating elegance here and getting closer to art!
The coming and going of guests, sharing of rare treasures, chatting and laughing, playing with each other, displaying, appreciating, trading, collecting of artworks, etc. often happen unconsciously.
It is such a place, but it is empty at this time. There is no trace of any antique artwork, and there is no sense of art.
If the person standing here was not Ye Tian, but someone who did not know the history of this apartment, he would never have imagined that this was the residence of the famous collector Ellsworth, and it was once filled with valuable antiques and art. .
Although the people there have gone, the prosperity is no longer there! But the basic value of this top-level apartment still exists and has not been affected in any way. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it!
Based on Ellsworth's celebrity effect, the appreciation potential of this apartment is obviously greater than other top apartments around it, which is one of the reasons why Ye Tian appears here!
"It is indeed a pity! Mr. Ellsworth has no family, and those valuable antiques and artworks have no one to inherit, so it is naturally impossible to keep them here.
He signed an agreement with Christie's very early on. Once he dies, those antique works of art will be sent to auction, all of them will be auctioned, and all the proceeds will be donated! "
After Ye Tian's words, Martin explained a few words, obviously doing some homework.
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, then changed the topic.
"Okay! Let's not talk about this and let's talk about the real estate transaction. My lawyer Anderson will follow up on the follow-up matters in order to sign the contract and complete the transaction as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured to Anderson, who was standing next to him.
David has been busy filing taxes for the past two days and couldn't get away. The lawyer following Ye Tian was replaced by Anderson, who handled the legal affairs related to the real estate transaction!
"In this case, let's not waste time here. Let's go directly to the next step and sign the real estate transaction contract as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!"
Martin nodded and said, his expression was so excited that he almost danced.
Of course he was excited about the huge commissions to be earned, as would anyone else!
"Okay! Let's get out of here, sign the contract, and complete this deal!"
With that said, Ye Tian turned around and walked out.
The moment he turned around, his gaze quickly swept across a corner of the living room as if by accident.
In the eyes of others, that corner is ordinary and ordinary. There is only a faint mark on the wall, which is the mark left by the placement of furniture, and nothing else!
But in Ye Tian's eyes, that corner was shining with dazzling yellow light, and there were about twenty layers of beautiful halo, which was very charming.
Obviously, there are secret compartments or mezzanines there, which contain priceless top-notch antiques and artworks that are at least five hundred years old.
As for what treasure is hidden in that secret room, Ye Tian naturally knows it well!
As early as the first time he walked into the apartment, he discovered the treasure hidden in the secret compartment, and through perspective, he could clearly see the situation in the secret compartment!
It was this discovery that made him more determined to win this top apartment!
I bought more than 20 luxury houses in a row, and finally let my buddy encounter the secret grid again, and got a big surprise!
It seems like my buddy is going to buy a top-level apartment for free again. Is there anything more beautiful than this?
