Treasure Hunt all over the World

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Ye Tian immediately saw two familiar faces, Jack, the security director of Sotheby's, and Simon, the director of the Impressionist and Modern Art Department.

They received Dirk’s notification, so they came here to wait.

"Good afternoon, Steven, Jason, you are finally here! The auction will begin in five minutes!"

Jack greeted with a smile, Simon also smiled and nodded.

"Guys, good afternoon! Aren't we here! Of course we will not miss such a heavyweight special auction!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and shook hands with the two of them.

After a few greetings, everyone walked to the auction hall together.

"Jack, how is the security situation? No problem, right?"

As he walked forward, Ye Tian asked.

This is what he cares about most. Even if more than two oil paintings are sold, he can't be too careful!

"Don't worry! Steven, we have achieved the ultimate in security work, all details have been taken into consideration, there will never be any problems, nothing is wrong!

This floor has all been under martial law. Anyone entering and exiting must be checked and checked. Every corner is under surveillance. Except for the toilet, there is no blind spot for surveillance.

There are four brothers guarding the temporary vault with live ammunition, and there are two New York police officers. During the auction, no one is allowed to enter the temporary vault, not even me.

There are many brothers in the hall, who can definitely control the situation and prevent any accidents from happening. No matter the bastard, if you dare to bump into it, it must be the result of a bloodshed.

When heavyweight artworks are auctioned, there is also security on the auction stage, which is protected by an FBI special agent and an armed security guard to ensure that the lot is under strict protection at all times.

Jack quickly explained the security measures, which were indeed very detailed and comprehensive.

"Then I can rest assured! If you need my help, you can say hello. Now I have a concealed gun license issued by the New York Police Department, and I also carry a weapon today.

If you dare to have any bastards' idea of ​​hitting those two top oil paintings and infringe on the safety of my personal property, I don't mind shooting again and sending those **** **** to hell! "

Ye Tian said with a smile, but the murderous aura revealed in the words was frightening.

"Quickly forget it! Steven, it hasn't been long since we just finished decorating here. I definitely don't want to be beaten by you again. No matter how rich you are, you can't make it like that!"

Jack said with a wry smile, his head shaking like a rattle.

At this moment, he immediately remembered the battle that took place in this building not long ago, and he couldn't help but shivered, and his heart was cold!

It's too dark for this kid to start! It's not an exaggeration to say that you don't blink your eyes. If something like that happened before, who would dare to come to this building?

We are a place to do business, full of artistic atmosphere! It's not the place of the four wars, how can you let this kid go crazy again and again? Who can bear the consequences?

Not only was Jack a little bit shy, Simon and Jason's eyelids were also jerked, and their backs were a little cold!

After talking, a few people walked to the door of the auction hall.

At the entrance of the hall stood four Sotheby’s security personnel with live ammunition and were responsible for the security around the entrance. All four of them were very vigilant and ready to respond.

There are two tables next to the door. Several staff members are busy there. They are mainly responsible for verifying the identity of the guests, checking invitations and bidding qualification certificates.

The two doors were ajar, and the sound came out through the cracks in the door. The hall was already full of voices, very lively, and you could hear it clearly when standing outside the door.

"Steven, you can go in, and I will check the security situation again"

Jack said, and then left with two of his men.

Afterwards, Simon stepped forward and reached out and pushed open the heavy door.

"Steven and Jason, please come in, welcome to the Sotheby's New York autumn sale ‘Impressionism and Modern Art’ special auction, I believe you will have a huge surprise today!"

"Let you auspicious words, Simon! I hope to get a surprise here, and I hope to see a new art auction record born here!"

Ye Tian said confidently and stepped into the auction hall.

Behind him, Simon and Jason also followed.

Entering the door and standing still, Ye Tian quickly looked at the situation in front of him.

Twenty rows of seats are already full, and even the aisles on both sides of the hall and on both sides of the door are already full of buyers, adding up to four to five hundred people.

Standing at the door and looking around, there are heads in your sight!

There are many familiar faces at the scene, including famous collectors, billionaires, appraisal experts, persons in charge of major museums, etc., it can be described as a gathering of celebrities!

Many of them, Ye Tian, ​​have seen the preview of the two top oil paintings. They came here for a very clear purpose, that is, they came for the two top oil paintings.

In addition to the many buyers who came to the scene in person, there are also many buyers who are ready to participate in bidding through the phone and the Internet, and compete with these buyers on the spot.

There are three rows of computers and phones arranged on both sides of the hall, with high and low heights and a good view. Dozens of Sotheby's staff are busy there, doing preparatory work before the auction.

After the auction officially starts, these staff will accept telephone or computer entrustment, and then bid on behalf of the entrusting party, chasing the artwork that the entrusting party fancy.

The auction table right in front is also ready, just waiting for the official auction to start!

There is a long white desk on the right side of the auction table, which is conspicuously located. There are three auxiliary staff sitting behind and one seat is empty, which should be reserved for Simon.

Next to the long desk is a large projection screen, which is indispensable for displaying detailed pictures and detailed information of the lot.

There are four security personnel on both sides of the auction table, responsible for maintaining the order of the auction site and ensuring that the auction can proceed smoothly and orderly.

In addition, two fully armed security personnel, as well as two FBI armed special agents, stood at the door leading to the temporary safe.

They are responsible for protecting the safety of heavyweight artworks, ensuring that the most valuable top artworks are not damaged in any way, and they are also prevented from being robbed, although this is unlikely to happen!

Everything is ready, just wait for the auctioneer to come on stage to officially start the auction!

When Ye Tian observed the situation in the hall, many bidders on the scene also found him.

The moment he saw him, there was a lot of discussion in the auction hall.

"That guy Steven is here! This is definitely a lucky guy! There are a lot of top antique art in his hand, and each one can make people jealous!"

"Who would say no! The New York autumn auction has only started for two days, and this guy has already swept over 150 million US dollars crazy. It is incredible. I have never seen money so easy!"

"What's that! Look at it after this special shoot is over. The dollar he swept through may double to 300 million dollars or more! This is very possible!"

Amidst the discussion, Ye Tian and the others began to walk to the first row of seats, where there were seats reserved for him and Jason.

"Simon, who is the woman in the black headscarf next to Prince Hassan? It seems that Prince Hassan respects her very much! What's the origin? The identity is not simple!"

Ye Tian asked in a low voice, slightly curious.

"That is Princess Mayasha, the sister of the Emir of Qatar. She graduated from Columbia University. She is the actual controller of the Qatar National Museum and the largest buyer in the international art market in the past two years.

She has a budget of more than 1 billion U.S. dollars each year, dedicated to the acquisition of top art. The first few records of world art auctions are basically created by her!

The French post-impressionist painter Gauguin, valued at US$300 million, was photographed by her and created the highest international art auction record, which no one can surpass so far.

Ranked second, valued at US$274 million, the French post-impressionist painter Paul Cézanne also fell into her hands and was once the highest art auction record.

Today, she came to participate in this special auction. In all likelihood, she came for the two top oil paintings of Paul Cezanne. She should be the buyer most likely to win the bid, and her strength is very strong! "

Simon gave a quick explanation, concise and clear!

"Wow! Royal princess and Prince Hassan's aunt. No wonder Prince Hassan respects her so much. I like this kind of generous super buyer, and I prefer petrodollars!"

Ye Tian said excitedly, his eyes became extremely bright in an instant, shining straight like a searchlight.

The best art buyers in the world today are here. You guys can definitely make a fortune. It's better to create a new transaction record. That's great!

As he was talking, Prince Hassan suddenly looked back, smiled and nodded at Ye Tian, ​​saying hello.

At the same time, Prince Hassan was also whispering to Princess Mayasha.

"The Chinese kid behind is Steven, a very lucky kid, and also a very crazy and cruel guy! A professional treasure hunter, he found a lot of top art!"

"Got it! I know this guy, it's really crazy! But it has nothing to do with us. The purpose of our coming here today is to win two top oil paintings by Paul Cezanne. We are bound to win!"

Princess Mayasa nodded and said, her tone was very firm and confident.

Yes! With 1 billion dollars in your pocket, you can squander freely, no matter who it is, you will be very confident!

After understanding the situation of Prince Hassan, Ye Tian looked at the front row of the seat on the left ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There was an unusually bitter stare, staring at him, wishing to devour it. Own, it seems that the only way to relieve the hatred!

This is also an old acquaintance! Bastian from France, a member of the Pierre family!

The family is obviously unwilling and still has the idea of ​​playing these two top oil paintings.

He didn't come alone. There was an old man in his 60s sitting next to him. He was also looking here, looking at himself with interest, with curiosity and envy!

"Simon, who is the old man sitting next to Bastian? Is it also a member of the Pierre family? This family is a bit overwhelmed!"

Ye Tian continued to ask in a low voice, with a bit of disdain!

"That is not from the Pierre family, but Bertrand, the head of the Impressionist Painting Art Department of the Louvre. The Louvre intends to acquire these two top oil paintings and is also a very powerful competitor.

I don’t understand why they got together. Maybe it’s because they are all French. Let’s take care of them. You have no doubt about the ownership of these two top oil paintings. No one can say anything! "

Simon introduced the identity of the old French man, but didn't really care.

While talking, the three of them walked to the first row of seats.

Ye Tian and Jason took their seats, while Simon stepped onto the auction stage and sat down behind the desk.

After seated, Ye Tian greeted several collectors and investors he knew next to him, and then began to look through the auction catalog, waiting for the auction to begin.

About a minute later, a spirited white auctioneer in his fifties with white gloves walked out of the lounge and boarded the auction platform!

This is a white glove! Is the top master of the auctioneer industry!

The auction is about to start!
