"Here, $810.5 million"
Someone else raised the bidding sign at the scene, and new quotes followed.
"OK! Buyer No. 15 quoted an offer of US$810.5 million from Mr. Bill's art broker. The current price is US$820 million, US$820 million. Who will come? Accept this price? ”
The auctioneer Jefferson raised his hand and pointed to the audience, shouting excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes quickly swept over the remaining competitors, observing their reactions, and expecting someone to raise the bidding number again to let the competition continue.
As for the other people at the auction site, they are no longer the target of his attention and can be completely ignored.
A Sotheby's staff member in the online bidding area raised his hand and made a throat-cutting gesture, announcing his withdrawal from the competition on behalf of his client.
The remaining competitors are all in this auction hall.
This means that "The Creation of Adam" will definitely fall into the hands of a buyer on the scene, and become a collection of someone or a museum in full view of the public.
With almost no pause, another bidding number plate was raised high, and the price of US$820 million was accepted.
"Buyer No. 33 should pay US$820 million. He is Mr. Carlos's art broker. The current price is US$825 million, US$825 million. That person Sir, should you pay?"
Jefferson shouted, still full of passion.
"Eight hundred and thirty million dollars, Jefferson"
"Jefferson, here"
"Eight hundred and forty-five million dollars!"
The bidding numbers in the hands of the remaining competitors kept raising and falling, and the quotations continued to come from their mouths, shaking the entire auction hall.
In the blink of an eye, the price of "The Creation of Adam" has exceeded US$85 million.
Two more buyers have withdrawn from the competition, namely Ryan, the richest man in the UK, and Warren Buffett, the stock god.
Obviously, it is not that these two super rich people have no money in their pockets, but that the price has exceeded the predetermined quotation limit, and they can only choose to withdraw.
The field of contenders has narrowed again, leaving only two super-rich people and two of America's most famous museums.
They are Bill Gates, the richest man in the United States, Carlos, the richest man in Mexico, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and MOMA.
At this point in the auction, the speed is no longer as fast as before. Everyone is taking longer and longer to think and consider, and they are becoming more and more cautious in taking action!
No one’s money comes from the strong wind! Even for the world's richest man like Bill Gates, eight to nine billion US dollars is a huge amount of wealth, and it must be used carefully.
"Eight hundred and sixty million dollars, Jefferson"
Julian raised the bidding sign again and quoted a new price with a very firm tone, as if he was determined to win.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately turned around and joked:
"Well done, Julian, you are so determined! I like you like this, you have the demeanor of a general, this is what a MOMA director should be like"
"Stop it now, Steven. I am gritting my teeth and persisting. Maybe I will be defeated in the next second and pass by this masterpiece of Michelangelo!"
Julian turned his head to look at Ye Tian and said angrily.
"Don't worry! I've persisted until now, what a pity to give up! After a few more rounds, maybe MOMA will be the final winner, successfully win this "Creation of Adam", and return in triumph"
"I hope so! We are almost ruined. If we still can't get this Michelangelo, we have no choice but to watch it fall into the hands of others!"
"With the support of the famous Rockefeller family, will MOMA still be short of money? I believe you will have the last laugh!"
"The Rockefeller family has indeed provided us with certain financial support, but the funds used to acquire "The Creation of Adam" this time are more of our museum's own funds.
If we succeed in acquiring this painting, we will all have to tighten our belts in the next few years. If we want to make a big purchase of art, I am afraid we will have to wait for several years! "
"Forget it! Who believes this! Not counting tickets, MOMA can sell hundreds of millions of dollars in cultural and creative products alone every year, right? There are also various forms of exhibitions, which are also a huge amount of revenue. !
What’s more important is that you own countless top-notch modern and contemporary works of art. If you just throw out a few pieces of stock art, you will earn a lot of dollars. How easy and comfortable this is! "
Ye Tian said jokingly, teasing with Julian, very relaxed.
At the same time, the price quoted for "Creating Adam" is also constantly refreshing, and in the blink of an eye it is approaching US$900 million.
"..., the current price is 895 million US dollars, 895 million US dollars, which gentleman will accept this price? Victory is close at hand, don't miss this priceless treasure! "
Jefferson's passionate voice kept coming from the stage, resounding throughout the auction hall.
His eyes were fixed on the remaining four competitors, his eyes were extremely hot, and his eyes were full of expectation, looking forward to the continuation of miracles.
However, the remaining four competitors did not respond immediately.
Two art dealers are on the phone, communicating with their bosses on the phone before deciding whether to accept the price and continue fighting!
Julian and the director of the Metropolitan Museum were thinking about it and discussing in low voices with the people around them to decide on the next course of action. Their expressions were very solemn.
Soon, these four people made a decision.
Carlos' art agent shook his head slightly at Jefferson and announced his withdrawal from the competition. He was very regretful and extremely disappointed.
A huge commission slipped through my hands and disappeared. Can I not lose it? My heart is probably bleeding!
The remaining three are still in the competition and are ready to continue fighting.
At the same time that Marquez announced his withdrawal from the competition, the director of the Metropolitan Museum raised his bidding number and accepted the offer of US$895 million.
However, it can be seen from his slightly trembling arms and constipated expression that this man can no longer hold on and will probably be defeated soon.
As expected! The facts are as expected.
When Julian pushed the offer to $910 million, the director of the Metropolitan Museum shook his head in pain, announced his withdrawal from the competition, and became a bystander.
At this point, this competition has turned into a duel between two people, a face-to-face fight.
"..., the current offer is US$915 million, US$915 million. Is Mr. Bill Gates willing to accept this price?"
While Jefferson loudly quoted the price, he stared closely at Bill Gates's art agent and could no longer see anyone else in his eyes.
"OK! Let's accept this price!"
While nodding to accept the bid, Bill Gates’ art agent once again raised his bidding sign.
Before the bidding sign in his hand fell, Julian had already raised the sign in his hand and shouted:
“With US$930 million, today we at MOMA must win this painting “The Creation of Adam” at all costs!”
"Wow! Julian is not crazy, is he? After all this time, he still dares to raise the price significantly! How much money is burned!"
There was a cry of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was frightened.
Immediately afterwards, people turned to look at Bill Gates' art agent to see what kind of reaction he would give.
At this time, the art dealer was reporting the situation on the phone and asking his employer to make a decision.
In the blink of an eye, the decision was made.
The art dealer first raised his right hand and made a throat-cutting gesture, announcing his withdrawal from the competition on behalf of his employer!
Then he turned to look at Julian and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Julian, you have won. This Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" belongs to your MOMA, congratulations!"
Before the words could even be finished, the MOMA group headed by Julian jumped up from their seats like an electric shock and began to celebrate wildly.
“It’s great! We finally got this treasure. We at MOMA also have the pinnacle work of the three post-Renaissance masters. This is the real treasure of the museum!”
"Wow! What a perfect day, one to remember forever!"
That’s right! This is the perfect day!
Ye Tian, who was not far away, had an extremely bright smile on his face.
