Ye Tian raised his hands and pressed them down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The noise immediately began to decrease, and the scene gradually became quiet. Everyone looked at Ye Tian behind the auction table to see what he was going to say!
After a short pause, Ye Tian said with a smile:
“The turnover of 3.8 billion is indeed very high! For me, this is a huge surprise. I never expected that this auction would be so successful and achieve such outstanding results!
All of this is due to the strong support of everyone here. Here, I would like to solemnly thank you all, thank you young and old, you are so generous and complimentary! "
With that said, Ye Tian walked out of the auction stage, stood in the open space next to him, and bowed to everyone present, very sincerely.
"Pa bang bang"
The applause started immediately and was quite enthusiastic.
While applauding, everyone looked at Ye Tian with eyes filled with admiration.
"Okay! You're not a bad boy! At least you didn't forget us well diggers, so that we can get some psychological comfort and not feel too distressed!
You know, everyone’s wallets were almost emptied by you, and only now have a total transaction volume of 3.8 billion. That’s all our hard-earned money! "
Master Ma said loudly in the audience, joking with Ye Tian.
"Hahaha"
The scene immediately burst into laughter, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"No! Mr. Ma, you are serious! Where have you come from? 3.8 billion yuan is just a drop in the bucket for everyone here! It's not worth mentioning at all!
As far as I know, there are more than a dozen super-rich people with a net worth of over 10 billion in this exhibition hall, not to mention top cultural institutions such as the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China. They have a lot of money! "
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head and said with a very sure tone.
Of course he knew exactly who his invitations were sent to.
“Ouch——! You have a purpose in cooperating with you! It’s just a matter of looking at what others are doing! I guess you’ve been calculating everyone’s wallets from the beginning. You’re such a thief!”
Shan Lao said with an annoyed smile, with a stunned expression.
The rest of the people shook their heads and chuckled, feeling a bit like I was a bitch.
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian stood back behind the auction table and got back to the topic.
“Now I can talk about my little wish. Since the turnover of this auction has exceeded 3.8 billion, can it go one step further and exceed 4.2 billion?
As we all know, Sotheby's auction house set an Asian auction record of 4.2 billion in the 2013 Hong Kong autumn auction, which caused quite a stir.
We can’t let a bunch of foreigners be the only ones to be beautiful! I am going to try to hit this record to see if it is possible to break it. Of course, this requires the full support of all the young and old! "
Before he finished speaking, the scene exploded with exclamations.
"Did I hear wrongly? Ye Tian is preparing to hit the transaction record of 4.2 billion. He is too daring to think about it! What a crazy guy, his heart is as high as the sky!"
"Isn't it! If there were more top-notch antique works of art left, it would be possible, but now there is only one final lot left. It is extremely difficult to break this record!
If we want to break the record, it means that the final transaction price of this lot cannot be less than 400 million. What an exaggerated number that is, it is almost impossible! "
Just like in the exhibition hall, there were also constant exclamations in the lounge.
“Can a piece of antique art fetch a sky-high price of 400 million yuan? Isn’t that impossible? It sounds like a myth, it’s so unrealistic!”
"Since Xiaotian dares to say this, he should be certain! Before today, spending two to three hundred million yuan to buy an antique artwork, in our opinion, isn't it an incredible myth!
But in today’s auction, are there too many such myths? It has been staged in front of us almost a dozen times, right? Under such circumstances, who dares to say that it is impossible to sell for 400 million! "
Many buyers at the scene, as well as family members in the lounge, were shocked by Ye Tian's words.
Ye Tian's expression is very calm and full of confidence.
The transaction price of 400 million yuan is certainly high, but to him, this price is very ordinary and not worth making a fuss about.
In the New York auction market, many antique works of art from his hands have been sold for hundreds of millions of dollars, and many have been sold for two to three billion dollars!
If converted into RMB, it would be six to seven billion, or even more than ten to two billion. The transaction price of "Venice Landscape" by the Renaissance art master Titian was more than three billion yuan.
Just imagine, after experiencing these scenes, how could Ye Tian take the transaction price of 400 million yuan seriously.
As for breaking the record set by Sotheby's auction house, it was just a whim of his. Whether it can be broken or not actually doesn't matter at all!
When the exclamations subsided, Ye Tian immediately continued with a smile:
“The item that is about to be auctioned is a rare national treasure and a national first-class cultural relic. It is perfect to use it as the finale and hit the Asian record!
I am very sure that no matter what price you give for this grand finale, it will be reasonable. If you can get it smoothly, you will get a bargain! Absolutely great value for money!
In the past few years, the Yuan blue and white plum vase "Xiao He Chasing Han Xin Under the Moon" was sold for a sky-high price of more than 800 million. The price of this finale item was 400 million. I think it is not excessive at all!
Whether in terms of age or artistic value, this lot far exceeds that Yuan blue and white plum vase. If I were a buyer, I would choose this lot instead of that Yuan blue and white plum vase!
Of course, whether we can set a new Asian auction transaction record depends on the strong support of all the young and old masters. If it succeeds, it will be perfect and worthy of celebration!
Even if the success falls short, there is no need to feel regretful. This auction is also an extremely successful private auction and will surely shock the entire domestic antique industry! "
"Pa bang bang"
The thunderous applause rang out, deafening.
"Xiaoye, what you said is beautiful! We support you and hope that you can set a new Asian record and leave those foreign devils alone!"
"Okay! Ye Tian, I don't have that much money in my pocket. I'm not the super rich guy you call me. I can only support you morally!"
Everyone at the scene responded. Many of them were just watching the excitement and making noises without taking it too seriously.
These guys know very well that no matter whether Ye Tian can set a new transaction record, this final lot is not something they can covet!
Don’t even think about it, the next bidding will definitely be a battle between the super predators in the exhibition hall, and the fighting will only start between them!
Even if the rest of the people get involved, they will only be reduced to cannon fodder, with no hope of winning at all.
In this case, why not add more fuel? If the flames of war become even more intense, the scene will be more beautiful, right?
And those buyers who were prepared to participate in this competition couldn't help but have a helpless smile on their faces when they saw this situation.
"Xiaoye, is this your so-called little wish? The record set by Sotheby's auction house in five days, you want to break in a private auction, you are so loud!
That’s 400 million yuan, what a fortune! I can tell that you won't give up until you empty everyone's pockets today! "
Shan Lao, who was sitting in the front row, said, his eyes extremely firm and full of expectation.
Of course he knew very well what the final lot was. It was a treasure that the Forbidden City was determined to win, and he had to win it no matter what.
"Xiaoye, my eyes have really opened up today! To be honest, I have never seen a crazier guy than you! I have never seen a more greedy guy than you!
Your kid’s appetite is simply a bottomless pit! It seems like it will never be filled up, it is breathtaking and unprecedented! "
Mr. Liang from Rongbaozhai said with emotion, his eyes full of shock.
Ye Tian smiled softly and said jokingly:
"That's what you said! Just think you are complimenting me! It sounds pretty good!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter.
Everyone laughed and shook their heads slightly.
This thing is really hopeless! Invulnerable!
Amidst the laughter, Ye Tian’s clear voice came again.
"Everyone should have guessed that the treasure at the end of the auction is that treasure, yes! It is the "Picture of the Xiao Temple in Qingluan" by Li Cheng, one of the three great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty. It originally belonged to the Forbidden City and has been a national treasure that has been lost overseas for a long time!"
As he spoke, he turned sideways and raised his hand to gesture at the big screen.
With his actions, the last battle of the day begins!
