Seeing someone holding a placard in response to the price, the auctioneer Jefferson immediately showed a smile on his face, and he was secretly relieved.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and gestured at the position of the card holder, and said passionately:
"The buyer on the 25th should offer 400 million U.S. dollars. It is a few gentlemen from Boston. The current price is 403 million U.S. dollars, 403 million U.S. dollars. Which gentleman should offer?"
As Jefferson made a loud offer, Ye Tian and Betty turned their heads together and looked at the position of the No. 25 bidder.
These are a few white men in their sixties, dressed in formal clothes, with serious expressions, and very tidy faces. They can be called meticulous, and their eyes are full of reverence.
From their behavior and mental state, Ye Tian immediately guessed that their identity must be a clergyman from a certain church organization.
Betty's next words also confirmed his conjecture.
"This is a clergyman from the United Christ Church, and the one in the middle is the pastor of the Old South Church in Boston. I have seen it in the church before and is very famous in Boston.
The United Christ Church is one of the oldest religious organizations in the United States, with great influence and strength. They are obviously bound to win this "Creation of Adam"! "
"That couldn't be better, the more such competitors, the better!"
Ye Tian chuckled and said in a low voice, and nodded in greetings to the priests.
The other party also noticed him, nodded slightly to him, and responded!
Although they were fairly friendly, it could be seen from their eyes that they were very jealous of Ye Tian, and even somewhat hostile.
This is no wonder! Not long ago, the Old North Church was turned upside down by Ye Tian, and everything is still vividly visible. How could the clergy from Boston have a good impression of him?
After greeting each other, Ye Tian and Betty turned back and looked at the auction table ahead.
At this time, someone raised a placard to ask for a price.
"Four million dollars, Jefferson!"
The sound came from the telephone bidding area on the right side of the auction hall. Buyers joined the competition by telephone bidding.
"Buyer No. 136 quoted 405 million U.S. dollars. It was a telephone bidding. The current price is 408 million U.S. dollars and 408 million U.S. dollars. Gentlemen, it's time to make a move!"
While shouting loudly, Jefferson quickly raised his hand and gestured toward the telephone bidding area, and then quoted the new price.
His voice has not yet fallen, and someone on the scene has raised the bidding number plate in his hand and shouted:
"Four hundred and twenty million dollars, Jefferson"
Hearing this voice, everyone in the auction hall turned their heads to look at the new competitor, with some curiosity.
Jefferson's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, quickly raised his hand and gestured to the audience, shouting passionately:
"The bidder No. 62 offered 420 million U.S. dollars. The art broker from Mr. François in France was very generous! The current price is 423 million U.S. dollars, 423 million, Who will ask for the price?"
While quoting loudly, Jefferson's eyes kept scanning the scene, his eyes were very sharp and excited.
Incited by his continual remarks, the atmosphere in the auction hall has become more and more hot, and the competition has gradually heated up.
"Four hundred and twenty-eight million dollars, Jefferson!"
"OK! Buyer No. 38 quoted 428 million U.S. dollars from the famous billionaire and top collector Mr. Ang. The latest price is 431 million U.S. dollars,..."
"Here, Jefferson"
"Forty-five million dollars, this Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" belongs to me, and no one wants to take it away from my eyes!"
"Don't dream! White, that baby can never belong to you, it's mine, 460 million dollars, Jefferson!"
"Buyer No. 76 quoted 460 million U.S. dollars. The current price is 463 million U.S. dollars and 463 million U.S. dollars. That gentleman will take the price?"
The competition is getting more and more fierce. The bidding number plates in the hands of many buyers on the scene, as well as the bidding number plates in the telephone and online bidding areas, are constantly being raised, one after another.
The quotations from all corners are even more endless, resounding throughout the auction hall, everyone’s voice is full of expectation, showing an aura of giving up to me.
But this is just the beginning, not even a warm-up!
In a blink of an eye, the price of this "Creating Adam" exceeded US$500 million, setting a new record for the public auction of antique art, almost crazy!
The moment the bid was over 500 million U.S. dollars, applause immediately rang out from the auction hall, which was brief, enthusiastic and deafening.
Immediately afterwards, many buyers on the scene entered more fierce competition, and there was no time to cheer for witnessing miracles.
The bidding number plates in people's hands rise and fall more frequently, the voices of quotations have become louder, the competition has become more intense, and the smell of gunpowder in the air has become stronger.
"Steven, congratulations, you have created a brand new auction record. I believe that for a long time in the future, this record will belong to you and it will be difficult for anyone to break it!"
Julian, the curator of moma, said with an eye full of envy.
Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, and said with a triumphant smile:
"Hahaha, thank you, Julian! Although 500 million US dollars is very high and heart-pounding, it is not the value that "Creation of Adam" should have. This painting can definitely be sold at a higher price!"
"Isn't it! The reserve price set by your guy is probably above 600 million U.S. dollars? Of course you don't take it seriously!"
Julian said angrily, and rolled his eyes directly, with a rather helpless tone.
"Regarding the auction reserve price, I still have no comment. When this auction is over, auctioneer Jefferson will announce the reserve price no matter what the result is. Then you will know the specific amount!
Shouldn't your moma end? The National Museum of America and the Paul Getty Museum of Art have both raised their placards to join the competition. Their strength is very strong and should not be underestimated! "
Ye Tian said with a light smile, his expression was very relaxed.
"For this Michelangelo's pinnacle, we moma have our own judgment. It is too early to participate in the competition, but it is a waste of emotions.
Those guys at the National Museum and Paul Getty Museum obviously don’t know you very well. If they know you enough, they won’t end so early!
With your usual style and greed, no one should think of taking any advantage in your hands, and can only be slaughtered by you with your neck stretched out! "
Julian shook his head lightly, and continued to watch.
As soon as his words fell, a loud voice suddenly came not far behind.
"Five hundred and sixty million dollars, Jefferson"
The sound came from the area to the left of the sixth row. The loud bidder was a well-known art dealer who knew Ye Tian and they were familiar.
Hearing this brand new offer, everyone at the scene turned their heads and looked over there.
At the same time, the high-pitched and loud voice of the auctioneer Jefferson came again, and it spread to everyone's ears.
"Buyer No. 76 quoted 560 million U.S. dollars, from Mr. Warren Buffett’s art broker, Mr. Hall, welcome to participate in this competition~www.novelhall.com~ The latest offer is 560,300 Ten thousand dollars, 563 million dollars, gentlemen, don’t miss this opportunity, or you will regret it!"
Before Jefferson's voice was over, the auction hall was completely boiling.
"I'll go! The stock **** Warren Buffett actually joined in, the situation is not optimistic! The next competition will be even more fierce!"
"Warren is out, do you think Bill will also participate in this competition to compete for this Michelangelo's pinnacle? This seems very likely.
If Bill also ends up in the competition, then we have very little hope of winning this "Creating Adam". Bill and Warren are the top three rich men in the world! "...
