“Oh my God! Steven, you are ten times more greedy than the legend says. This starting price is too exaggerated. Why don’t you grab it!”
“Today I have an eye-opener. Even if “Lisa Gradini” is a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, its price should not be so exaggerated!”
Amidst the exclamations, more people at the scene showed expressions of frustration, disappointment, and some indignation.
Needless to ask, these super rich and top collectors have also been eliminated, and they didn’t even get a chance to participate in the bidding. Can you not feel depressed?
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is “Lisa Gradini”. Its value cannot be measured in money at all. In time, when the popularity of this painting is close to that of “Mona Lisa”, its value will also be A sharp surge”
Ye Tian said loudly with a smile, but his tone was decisive.
Everyone at the scene agreed with his words, but it was still difficult for everyone to accept the starting price of 1.8 billion euros, which was too shocking!
No one’s money was blown by the strong wind. Who wouldn’t feel the heartache and be willing to be robbed like this by this **** Steven!
Of course Ye Tian knew what everyone in the audience was thinking, but he just smiled and shrugged, looking helpless.
When the noise at the scene subsided slightly, he immediately continued:
“It is undeniable that this is a very exaggerated starting price, which has never appeared in the history of art auctions. It sounds a bit scary, but it is the most valuable investment with huge returns!
Think about it, how many tourists the “Mona Lisa” attracts to the Louvre every year and how much revenue it creates, at least several hundred million US dollars. If peripheral products are included, it will definitely exceed one billion US dollars.
“Lisa Gradini” also has the same potential. This can be seen from today’s unprecedented auction preview and from the expectant art lovers and ordinary tourists.
In the foreseeable future, “Lisa Gradini” will continue to bring huge benefits to its owners, and it will continue to appreciate in value. Perhaps it will be able to fully recover its cost within a few years.”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn’t help but nodded slightly, and no one refuted.
Everyone in the field of antique art collection knows that the Mona Lisa supports half of the Louvre, and these people here are no exception!
With this gem in front of me, anyone with a discerning eye can see the infinite possibilities of “Lisa Gradini”. This is definitely a veritable and untapped gold mine, enough to make people crazy!
Without any pause, Ye Tian’s clear voice continued to echo in the exhibition hall.
“Don’t look at the high and daunting starting price of this painting, but compared to its value, 1.8 billion euros is not worth mentioning at all. Considering this, do you still think the starting price is high?
I must remind everyone that this painting has an auction reserve price. If the final bid does not reach the auction reserve price, then I am very sorry. This masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci still belongs to me.
During the bidding process, the minimum increase is 10 million euros. After exceeding 2.5 billion euros, the minimum increase shall not be less than 20 million euros. Bidders who take the initiative to raise their prices are best to quote their prices loudly.
Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is now open. Everyone is welcome to bid enthusiastically. This masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, “Lisa Gradini”, has a starting price of 1.8 billion euros. That lady or gentleman Price? ”
When the auction started, the exhibition hall became quiet.
In the huge exhibition hall, only Ye Tian’s voice echoed in the air, full of passion, lingering in everyone’s ears.
While shouting out the starting price, Ye Tian’s eyes were like eagle eyes, quickly scanning the audience to see who would be the first to raise their hand to accept the bid.
This was a small private auction, with a limited number of bidders participating, and no telephone bidding was accepted. Ye Tian had a clear view of the scene and did not need help from others at all.
Everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian on the auction stage and at the “Lisa Gradini” hanging on the wall. Everyone’s eyes were extremely hot, and they wished they could immediately take the priceless treasure into their arms. Take it as your own!
However, no one fired the first shot or raised their hand to accept the price.
The super-rich and top collectors who have the ability to participate in the competition have all chosen to wait and see, preparing to see the actions of others first, to figure out who their opponents are, and then follow up.
As for those guys who were eliminated before the auction even started, let alone them. They could only sigh in despair, stand aside and watch the excitement, just envying themselves.
“The starting price is 1.8 billion euros. Which buyer should pay the price? This is Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, a unique and top-notch work of art. Don’t miss this God-given opportunity, otherwise you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life! ”
Ye Tian loudly announced the starting price again, his voice full of passion, and he tried his best to confuse many super rich people and top collectors in the audience.
The scene was still very quiet, no one raised their hand to answer the price.
Some people have a look of excitement in their eyes, but they are not willing to be the first to raise their hand to accept the price and become the target of other competitors. They still maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian sneered secretly, and then said decisively:
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is my last inquiry. If no one raises their hand to accept the bid, then today’s private auction will end here, and “Lisa Gradini” still belongs to me.
Next, everyone can go to the reception. At the reception, you may also find opportunities for cooperation. That would be great. At least this trip to the Vatican was not in vain.”
While saying these words, his eyes quickly scanned the people in the audience, with a warm smile always on his face.
After hearing these words, everyone at the scene changed their expressions without exception.
Everyone understands that you can’t wait and see any longer, otherwise you will really miss this priceless treasure. With Steven’s bastard’s behavior, it is absolutely impossible to lower the starting price even if the auction fails!
If you missed “Lisa Gradini” because you were waiting to watch, you would really regret it. Why did you come here? I’m not here to travel to the Vatican.
Finally, someone raised their hand to accept the price, and it was an old friend that Ye Tian was very familiar with.
“Stephen, the Italian Ministry of Culture has accepted the price. We hope to keep this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci in Italy. This is a national treasure of Italy and belongs to all Italians!”
Tiano, the Italian Minister of Culture in the audience, raised his hand first, accepted the starting bid, and made his identity clear in a serious manner.
While raising his hand to accept the price, Tiano’s facial muscles twitched slightly, obviously in pain.
Immediately afterwards, he and Giovanni turned to look at the other bidders, especially the powerful super-rich people and top collectors, and nodded lightly at those buyers and said hello, acting very friendly.
Everyone at the scene knew their intention of doing this. They just hoped that everyone would be noble and not compete with them, so that they could successfully win “Lisa Gradini” so that they could go back to work!
However, they obviously thought too much.
The people in this exhibition hall who are preparing to bid are either super rich or top collectors. Which one is the bad guy? Who cares about the Italian Ministry of Culture?
“OK! Someone finally accepted the price. It was Mr. Tiano from the Italian Ministry of Culture. Thank you very much, Mr. Minister, for your support. The current price is 1.81 billion euros. Which lady or gentleman should accept the price? ”
Ye Tian raised his left hand and gestured towards Tiano’s position, spoke passionately, and then quoted a new price.
Before the voice fell, someone in the crowd on the left side of the stage had already raised his right hand and accepted the price.
The person who raised his hand to accept the price was a top collector, Dimitris from Greece, who was also an old friend of Ye Tian. He had dealt with him several times in the New York art auction market before.
Seeing this old friend raise his hand to accept the price, Ye Tian immediately raised his hand to gesture over there and nodded lightly to the other party.
Immediately afterwards, he quoted a new price, 1.82 billion euros.
In an instant, someone raised his hand to accept the price. He was a super rich man from Turin, Italy, and it was the first time he met Ye Tian!
As soon as the auction began, fierce competition began.
Arms rise and fall one after another, and the confident and over-the-top bids keep ringing out, echoing in the exhibition hall and in everyone’s ears.
As the competition unfolded, the atmosphere in the exhibition hall suddenly became more heated, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger!
This is the beginning of an extremely exciting show, and this is exactly what Ye Tian wants to see the most!
