Although it is mid-November, the New York autumn auction season is still in full swing.
In the auction hall of Christie's auction house, the special auctions of German paintings, Dutch paintings and Flanders art of European classical paintings are coming to an end and have entered the climax of this auction.
"boom!"
The auction mallet fell heavily on the auction stage, and the sound resounded throughout the auction hall.
At the same time, the auctioneer raised his hand to the stage and said loudly with passion:
"Sold! US$96.5 million sold! Congratulations to buyer No. 76, Mr. Liu from Shanghai, China, for successfully photographing this outstanding Rubens work, "Portrait of Brandt" created around 1620.
Before the words were over, thunderous applause already sounded at the scene, very warm.
"Papa Papa"
While applauding, everyone in the auction hall looked at buyer No. 76, Mr. Liu who was sitting in the middle of the third row, and everyone was full of envy.
Sitting in the first row, Ye Tian and Betty also looked back at the old friend from China, waved to each other gently, smiled and nodded in greeting!
Not only Mr. Liu, Ye Tian and Betty were also the focus of everyone's attention on the scene, and they were the objects of envy for everyone.
There is no other reason, because this top-level artwork, Rubens's "Portrait of Brandt", which was just sold for a sky-high price of 96.5 million US dollars, belongs to Ye Tian and comes from Napoleon's treasure!
The applause fell, and the special shooting officially ended.
Those buyers who got nothing, got up and left the auction hall of Christie's auction house, with a little disappointment and regret, perhaps a little regret!
The rest of the buyers who have made some gains continue to stay in the auction hall, chatting with friends, while waiting patiently, ready to go through relevant procedures later, sign the auction transaction confirmation and so on.
Ye Tian and Betty did not leave the auction hall immediately, but walked up to Mr. Liu and the others, and chatted with these old friends from China.
Joining Mr. Liu to participate in this special shooting, there are Ma Ye, another famous collector in China, Mr. Zhao, and two assistants and translators.
Because everyone had met and chatted for a while before the start of the auction, meeting again would save the polite procedure and go straight to the topic!
"Congratulations, Mr. Liu, for successfully winning this Rubens "Portrait of Brandt" and setting an auction record for Rubens' paintings in one fell swoop. The handwriting is amazing.
As far as I know, there is currently no painting at the peak of Rubens in China. Once this painting is brought to China, it will definitely cause a sensation and attract countless attention! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, and shook hands with Mr. Liu, speaking in Mandarin of course.
"I should congratulate you, Ye Tian, you are the biggest winner of this special auction. An auction has swept nearly 200 million US dollars. It's a looting of money! It's not that fast!"
Mr. Liu joked, his eyes filled with excitement, and he was obviously very satisfied with today's results.
"There is no such exaggeration. I am quite satisfied with the auction price of this one of Rubens's representative works, "Portrait of Brandt". Thank you for your support.
However, I am not very satisfied with the auction prices of the two previous paintings by Holbein and the Elder Bruegel, but they are also above the reserve price set by me! "
Ye Tian fake politely said a few words, the bright smile on his face is enough to explain everything.
Seeing his performance, these old friends from China couldn't help but rolled their eyes unhappily, secretly envying them.
After chatting with Mr. Liu, Ye Tian turned to two other old friends.
"Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhao, why didn't you two take a shot and took a few pieces of art? To be honest, the quality of the art that appeared in this special shot is still very good, and it is worth the shot!"
The two shook their heads together, Ma Ye jokingly said:
"We don't have much interest in Western classicism painting. To be honest, we can't appreciate it. We prefer Chinese antique art.
Besides, the price of top western art is too expensive, tens of millions of dollars at every turn, the little money in our pockets can't stand your kid's calculations!
However, if you kid are willing to put "Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace" out for auction, then it will be considered as a smashing pot, and life will be too much, and I will end up competing! "
"The same is true for me. I wonder if your kid would not be willing to put "The Forty Scenery of Yuanmingyuan" out for auction?"
Mr. Zhao agreed, his eyes full of expectation.
"Put "Pictures of the Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace" out for auction? How could that be possible? You know, it is an invaluable national treasure and one of the most important works of art in the Old Summer Palace. How can I give it up!
"Pictures of the Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace" is the treasure of the town hall of my personal exhibition hall. When my museum is established, it will be the treasure of the town hall. It will never be transferred. You two should die of this heart. ! "
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, his tone was very firm.
"That's right, that's "The Song of Forty Scenes in the Old Summer Palace". As long as you are a domestic collector, once you own it, who can be willing to transfer it? Not to mention you, a shrewd fellow.
Leave it alone, there is no hope anyway! I heard that your kid bought An Siyuan’s gorgeous mansion before. If we can, we would really like to visit that legendary house."
"No problem, Lord Ma, as long as you want to go, I am always welcome, but I want to remind you that the original Chinese antique works of art in that house have been auctioned off.
After I bought the house, I took great pains to re-arrange it and put some Chinese antique artworks in it, but compared with before, it is still very different."
"I understand that, after all, everyone has different aesthetic tastes. In fact, we are not going for the Chinese antique art in the house, but for the house itself.
In the past 100 years or so, the status and price of Chinese antique art in the international market have been controlled by Westerners, as is the domestic antique art collection.
Among them, An Siyuan is a very important one. That gorgeous mansion has a great influence on the Chinese antique art market because An Siyuan has been working from home.
The passing of An Siyuan means the end of the Chinese antique art market in the West. Because of this, we want to visit the famous and beautiful mansion! "
Ma Ye said with emotion, but there was a bit of excitement in his eyes.
The others are the same, the excitement and anticipation between the eyebrows can't be concealed, and even a little gloating.
Obviously, these few are not good people!
Ye Tian glanced at these people, then smiled and nodded in response:
"No problem, after lunch, I will show you all over there. The gorgeous mansion has no effect on the Chinese antique art collection market!"
While talking, two staff from Christie's auction house came over.
When they came near, the two auction house staff notified Ye Tian and Mr. Liu respectively and asked them to go through the relevant procedures after the auction.
"Ma Ye, Mr. Zhao, you two wait a while, we will come when we go"
After speaking, Ye Tian took Betty and followed an auction house staff member to the office area.
Mr. Liu and his assistant followed another staff member to sign the auction confirmation letter.
In a blink of an eye, it was already more than one in the afternoon.
After having lunch in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Ye Tian took Ma Ye and the others to the top apartment on Fifth Avenue, which is An Siyuan’s gorgeous mansion.
Betty had already returned to the company and didn't follow her. After all, she didn't understand Chinese, so it was inconvenient to communicate with everyone.
After getting off the car on the fifth road and entering the apartment building, Ye Tian began to introduce Ma Ye and the others to this top-notch mansion, which is famous in the field of Chinese antique art collection.
"This apartment is one of the top mansions in New York. It has a history of more than 80 years. It has a total of 22 rooms. It sits on the four seasons of Central Park and is within easy reach of the Metropolitan Museum.
At the beginning of April of this year, by chance, I heard that this apartment was sold and it cost 58 million U.S. dollars to win this top apartment, setting a record for the sale of luxury homes in New York in the first half of this year.
Hearing this, Ma Ye and the others immediately exclaimed.
"Oh! 58 million U.S. dollars, which is nearly 400 million yuan, you kid can really be willing and really rich, it's so extravagant!"
"The $58 million is indeed a staggering price, but it is nothing compared to what your kid has gained in this house!
The set of "Chunhua Pavilion Posts" that shocked the domestic collectors circle, and the masterpiece of Michelangelo that shocked the world, "The Creation of Adam", were all discovered here? "
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then said proudly:
"It seems that you are still very concerned about me. That's right, in this famous and beautiful mansion, I did find a few top antique works of great value!
This includes the ancestor of Fateh "Chunhua Pavilion", Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", and An Siyuan's jade ring, each of which is invaluable! "
"Co-working with your kid not only picked up a top-notch apartment for nothing, but also made a lot of money. The best collection of An Siyuan's hard life all fell into the hands of your kid. This luck is too bad!"
"Hahaha, my luck has always been good, and this time is no exception. Of course, I also want to thank An Siyuan. If it were not for him, I would not have found these priceless treasures."
Ye Tian said with a triumphant smile, his tone and expression were quite awkward.
While talking, the group of them had already stepped out of the elevator and came to the door of the apartment. Ye Tian stepped forward immediately, preparing to open the door.
After scanning the iris, entering the fingerprint, and entering the password, the specially reinforced door was only opened after some operations, and Ye Tian also disarmed the security system.
Before that, he had secretly turned on the perspective, piercing the wall, and had a clear view of the situation in this apartment.
There is no sign of being broken into the apartment and it is very safe.
"Everyone, please come in and take a good look at this top-notch apartment that has had a major impact on the Chinese antique market, although it has long been a duo"
With that said, Ye Tian made a gesture of please and let Ma Ye and the others into the apartment.
They just entered the front hall of the apartment~www.novelhall.com~ Ma Ye and the others immediately stopped and looked at the paintings hanging in the hall and the two yellow pear armchairs placed in the front hall.
Without exception, a surprise flashed in their eyes.
Ye Tian looked at the expressions of these people, then smiled and explained:
"The masterpiece by Pan Tianshou, "Man Ting Qingfang", was originally hung here. Two Ming Dynasty Huanghuali armchairs were placed in front of the painting. Unfortunately, those top antique artworks were auctioned off.
The paintings you see now hanging in the front hall are also Master Pan Tianshou's masterpiece, "The Four Screens of Flowers and Birds", which is no worse than that of "Man Court Qingfang".
However, these two huanghuali armchairs are much different. They come from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The material used is Vietnamese huanghuali, not sea yellow. It is far less than the previous two Ming huanghuali armchairs...."
While talking, Ye Tian's cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting his conversation.
He took out his phone and glanced at it to reveal that the words ‘Bishop of Kent’ were written on the screen.

Ye Tian stepped forward immediately, preparing to open the door.After scanning the iris, entering the fingerprint, and entering the password, the specially reinforced door was only opened after some operations, and Ye Tian also disarmed the security system.Before that, he had secretly turned on the perspective, piercing the wall, and had a clear view of the situation in this apartment.There is no sign of being broken into the apartment and it is very safe."Everyone, please come in and take a good look at this top-notch apartment that has had a major impact on the Chinese antique market, although it has long been a duo"With that said, Ye Tian made a gesture of please and let Ma Ye and the others into the apartment.They just entered the front hall of the apartment~www.novelhall.com~ Ma Ye and the others immediately stopped and looked at the paintings hanging in the hall and the two yellow pear armchairs placed in the front hall.Without exception, a surprise flashed in their eyes.Ye Tian looked at the expressions of these people, then smiled and explained:"The masterpiece by Pan Tianshou, "Man Ting Qingfang", was originally hung here. Two Ming Dynasty Huanghuali armchairs were placed in front of the painting. Unfortunately, those top antique artworks were auctioned off.The paintings you see now hanging in the front hall are also Master Pan Tianshou's masterpiece, "The Four Screens of Flowers and Birds", which is no worse than that of "Man Court Qingfang".However, these two huanghuali armchairs are much different. They come from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The material used is Vietnamese huanghuali, not sea yellow. It is far less than the previous two Ming huanghuali armchairs...."While talking, Ye Tian's cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting his conversation.He took out his phone and glanced at it to reveal that the words Bishop of Kent' were written on the screen.
