Chapter 433: Boiling Auction Hall

Two Sotheby's staff came out of the temporary safe, carrying Paul Cézanne's oil painting "Mont Sainte-Victoire" in their hands and walked gently and cautiously onto the auction stage and toward the display stand.

Behind them, an FBI armed special service and a Sotheby's armed security guard followed suit, guarding the top oil painting.

The rest of the security personnel in the auction hall have also received the order and raised the alert level to the highest level in an instant, staring at the oil paintings on the auction stage with vigilance, staring at the numerous buyers on the spot, ready to respond at any time.

The big screen began to display the picture of this top oil painting simultaneously, as well as the creation time, creation background, size, painting technique, related comments and other related information. It was very detailed and there was no omission.

At the same time, the big screen also gave an introduction to Paul Cézanne.

The line of "Father of Modern Painting" on the screen is very eye-catching, radiating dazzling light, so that people can hardly open their eyes!

The scene was extremely quiet, there was hardly any sound!

Everyone stared at the painting with breathlessness, fearing to disturb the staff, causing this top oil painting to fall to the ground and suffer undue damage.

In a blink of an eye, two staff members placed this top oil painting on the display stand for everyone to enjoy.

The two armed security guards who followed have also stood on both sides of the display stand to protect this top oil painting from close range.

"call!"

Everyone at the scene took a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the auction hall stood up.

"Papa...Papa"

Applause suddenly sounded, long-lasting and enthusiastic, resounding throughout the auction hall.

Listening to these enthusiastic applause in the ears and seeing the excited expressions of people, Ye Tian's mood is naturally extremely refreshing and refreshing to the extreme!

This is an oil painting that belongs to him, a top art!

The applause fell, everyone sat down and began to concentrate on admiring this top oil painting on stage.

"It's so beautiful! It is worthy of being a masterpiece a top art. Whether it is the use of colors, the layout of the picture, etc., all details are impeccable and it is definitely a top art!"

"The color change is like a symphony, with rich layers and harmony, no doubt! This is Paul Cézanne! This is the pinnacle of post-impressionist art! It is much better than the previous auctions!"

While admiring this famous painting intoxicated, many people are already gearing up, staring at this famous painting on the stage, their eyes are extremely hot, just waiting for the auction to start and the fight begins!

As long as John's voice is heard on the auction stage, an extremely fierce war without gunpowder smoke will start immediately. No matter who the final winner is, a huge price must be paid!

However, these competitors now only have "Mont Sainte-Victoire" in their eyes and the US dollar is probably the least important thing!

"Steven, these guys seem to be going crazy, you will definitely make a fortune today, maybe this oil painting can set an auction record!"

Jason turned to look at the situation in the auction hall and said with emotion.

"Hahaha, the crazier they behave, the better, the competition will be fiercer, so that I can earn more, but it is difficult to create an auction record with this 'Mont Sainte-Victoire'.

Although this oil painting is a masterpiece of Cézanne's later years, it is a concentrated expression of his artistic thoughts, but he painted 'Mont Sainte-Victoire' for 20 years. There are too many oil paintings of the same subject, which will inevitably affect the value.

Even so, as a representative work of Paul Cézanne, the auction price of this oil painting is definitely not lower than that. According to my estimation, there should be no problem sold this oil painting for 150 million US dollars!"

Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, his face was shining brightly.

"Wow! 150 million dollars! It's incredible, let's wait and see!"

Jason exclaimed, his eyes flashing with crazy colors.

At the end of the short display time, John's passionate voice resounded through the entire auction hall again, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, one of today's highlight is here. The next auction will be one of the masterpieces of the French post-impressionist painter Paul Cézanne, 'Mont Sainte-Victoire'.

No doubt! This is one of the top artworks in the world today. I am very honored to be able to host auctions of such top artworks. This will be the glory of my life!

Here, I would like to especially thank the discoverer and owner of this oil painting, Mr. Steven! Thank him for discovering this top art piece and thank him for choosing Sotheby's auction house!"

As he said, John stretched out his hand and gestured towards Ye Tian's location.

Ye Tian was also very cooperative, smiled and nodded at John, then immediately stood up and turned around, waved to everyone in the auction hall, with a big smile!

"Papa...Papa"

The applause sounded again, still very enthusiastic.

Along with the applause, many cheers followed.

"Steven, what a beautiful job!"

"Man, thank you! Let us see this top art!"

Although many people didn't want to, they had to applaud Ye Tian.

It was Steven who made these two top oil paintings reappear to the public and re-emerge the brilliant artistic light for the world to appreciate! Instead of being buried in the hidden wall of the apartment, slowly rotting!

It is this extremely lucky guy that gives them a chance to get a top art works and they should give this guy warm applause!

At the same time of applauding, the eyes of everyone in the auction hall were also full of envy and their eyes were a little red!

Steven this bastard must be the luckiest person in the world. He could find two top oil paintings in his apartment. Why is that person one of them? Why are they not having such good luck?

God is so unfair! The good thing seems to belong to the bastard Steven! Others can only look at envy in the side!

Of course, in the auction hall there are not only envious and jealous eyes, but also a very resentful look, staring at Ye Tian, ​​his eyes are blood red and his eyes are about to crack!

Don't ask, this look must come from Bastian.

At this moment, his heart is bleeding crazily! Terrible!

And his brothers and sisters far away in Paris are in the same situation. They all stare at Ye Tian on the computer screen, gritted their teeth with hatred, but helpless!

After saying hello to everyone, Ye Tian turned around and sat down, waiting for the bidding with ease.

John's loud voice came again, very clear!

The enthusiasm and vigor of his whole person at this time is as if he was beaten up!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Sotheby's auction house has done the most rigorous and scientific appraisal of this oil painting. It is absolutely certain that this is the authentic work of Paul Cézanne, created around 1890.

Mont Sainte-Victoire is a landscape near Aix, the hometown of Paul Cézanne, around this theme, Paul Cézanne tirelessly explored for nearly 20 years, leaving behind many variations of the same theme.

This work is a masterpiece of Paul Cézanne's later years and it is also a concentrated expression of his artistic thoughts. It has a very important position in the history of painting. Its artistic value is extraordinary and it is a top work of art!

The scenery in the painting floats in the color and the distance and space relationship of the scenery is completely replaced by geometric shapes. It is like a symphonic poem with rich and harmonious levels, perfect and unparalleled!

The starting price of "Mont Sainte-Victoire" is 40 million U.S. dollars, and the minimum increase must not be less than 1 million U.S. dollars. The bidding starts now, 40 million U.S. dollars, 40 million U.S. dollars. Which lady or gentleman will bid?"

While making a loud offer, John's eyes were already like eagle eyes and he began to patrol the entire auction hall, which was extremely bright and sharp!

The rest of the auction assistants are the same. They are all patrolling the auction site, ready to remind John at any time to prevent missing a quote!

At this time, each of them was extremely excited, their eyes shining straight!

How many times can you meet this top art auction? Can you not be excited?

Before John's voice fell, the entire auction hall was already fried!

"Oh my God! Starting at $40 million! That's an exaggeration! He deserve to be the craziest guy in New York, this bastard Steven is so cruel!"

"Undoubtedly, this is the highest starting price since the start of this year's autumn auction! I really am convinced the bastard Steven, his hands are too dark! This is an attempt to empty the pockets of bidders! It's a looting!"

"The auction starts at US$40 million! It is conceivable that Steven's reserve price is at least US$60 million and the transaction price of more than US$100 million is almost certain. Today we are going to witness a miracle!"

While exclaiming and discussing, everyone couldn't help looking at Ye Tian, ​​who was sitting in the front row with a relaxed expression. Everyone's eyes were full of shock and envy!

Although the starting price is very high, for truly capable buyers, they are not at all concerned and no one thinks that this famous painting can be successfully taken at this price.

"45 million dollars, John!"

Someone shouted, and held up the bidding number plate.

The first time the plaque was raised, the price was increased significantly and it was as high as $5 million!

The auction hall was boiling again and everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.

Ye Tian is no exception, turning his head and looking back.

He don't know which buddy it is? Too much face!

The fiercest battle begins!
