Chapter 435: I Love this Crazy World

"100 million dollars, John!"

Carlos's art consultant once again raised the placard for bidding, making this "Mont Sainte-Victoire" truly enter the ranks of the most expensive art works!

This is an unattainable price threshold. The artworks that cross this threshold are undoubtedly the top artworks in the world today. They are all the jewels in the crown of art. There are very few, brilliant!

Although everyone in the auction hall had long understood that this top oil painting would surely be sold at a sky-high price of over 100 million U.S. dollars, everyone was completely shocked when they heard someone quote the price.

When Carlos' art consultant quoted the price, everyone on the scene immediately stood up.

"Papa...Papa"

The applause broke out with great enthusiasm, resounding through the entire auction hall.

Everyone is applauding, and everyone's eyes are full of enthusiasm and envy.

This is the applause for the top art! This is applause for top collectors! It is also the applause for Paul Cézanne, a respect for art!

And to Ye Tian, ​​this was also applause for himself!

He and Jason also stood up and were applauding with everyone. Both of them were extremely excited and laughed brilliantly!

"A hundred million dollars! My God! This is just like a dream, so unreal! Steven, I'm sure that your picture will appear on the front page of all newspapers in New York tomorrow!"

Jason applauded and whispered.

"Hahaha, I am also very sure of this. In addition, you will see photos of "Mont Sainte-Victoire" and "The Boy in the Red Vest". These two top oil paintings will surely shock the world!"

Ye Tian said with a triumphant smile, full of confidence.

The applause fell and everyone sat down.

Following this, there was a sound of discussion throughout the audience.

"Too fast! The price of "Mont Sainte-Victoire" is soaring so fast, I have never seen it! If this trend continues, I can't imagine the final transaction price, it must be amazing!"

"Of course! This painting wants to surpass the US$274 million "The Card Players" and it is still very difficult to create a new record for the sale of Paul Cézanne's oil paintings. I think it is almost impossible!"

Amidst the discussion, the voice of auctioneer John resounded through the entire auction hall, which had just been interrupted.

At this moment, his whole person has become extremely excited, his voice is more passionate and the volume is octave higher.

"OK! The No. 66 offer is 100 million U.S. dollars from Mr. Carlos's art consultant. This is the first 100 million quotation for the New York autumn auction this year. Congratulations to Mr. Carlos and Mr. Steven!

As the auctioneer of this auction, I feel very honored. Thank you for your support and for your eager bidding. Next, I will provide you with a better auction service!

The competition is not over yet, I hope everyone will continue to bid! The current price is 105 million U.S. dollars, 105 million U.S. dollars. Which lady or gentleman should ask for the price? Please raise your bid number plate!"

"Hey--!"

There was a sigh in the auction hall, telephone bidding and online bidding.

Every voice is full of disappointment and regret and also full of unwillingness!

100 million dollars!

This price has broken through the psychological price of most bidders and they can only stop and lose out!

This oil painting has no chance with them. They can only helplessly become spectators, watching with envy the super auction crocodile's shots again and again, struggling to compete for the top art that can be met but cannot be sought!

The number of competitors dropped abruptly, leaving only five, three at the auction hall and two mysterious buyers bidding over the phone.

There is no doubt that these are the most powerful auction predators, each with a net worth of at least several billion dollars.

And the most powerful Carlos and the royal family of Qatar, the net worth is impossible to estimate!

The bidding continues and the price is still rising rapidly!

After three rounds, the price of "Mont Sainte-Victoire" has reached 125 million U.S. dollars and the entire auction hall was once again a sensation, with thunderous applause!

"Another Paul Cézanne who broke into the top ten global art auction records! It's incredible! It's a crazy day!"

"Edvard Munch's "The Scream" fell out of the top ten! Leon must be extremely frustrated! Which work will this "Mont Sainte-Victoire" surpass next? Beyond that famous top art?

Is it "Women No. 3" by William de Kooning? Or Jackson Pollock's "1948 No. 5"? Or Picasso's "La Rêve"? Everything is possible, wait and see! "

Amidst the heated discussion, John's voice clearly spread to everyone's ears, and the price of "Mont Sainte-Victoire" soared again, reaching 130 million US dollars!

"Papa...Papa"

The applause rang frantically again and became more enthusiastic!

Everyone in the auction hall stood up. Except for the old people in the front row, no one sat down anymore. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sit still anymore!

From now on, every time John quoted a price, there would be enthusiastic applause and exclamation on the scene.

There is no other reason, because everyone is witnessing history!

Amidst the applause, someone was defeated!

Leon shook his head with a wry smile and with a face full of disappointment and regret and reluctant to give up, announced his withdrawal from the competition! Say goodbye to "Mont Sainte-Victoire"!

He is the weakest among the remaining competitors! If he can't fight for money, he can only lose!

The two mysterious buyers on the telephone bidding side also chose to be silent at this time and withdrew from the competition.

The price of 130 million U.S. dollars has penetrated their psychological price point, making them directly reduced from competitors to spectators and they can only watch that top-level artwork become in the pocket of others! Sorrowful!

Unlike their loss, Ye Tian was already excited and about to fly, as did Jason next to him.

"Is this the real world? An oil painting can cost 130 million dollars! It's incredible! Are these billionaires crazy?"

Jason yelled in a low voice while holding his head, his expression was very exaggerated.

"Hahaha, buddy! You are right, these billionaires are crazy! The whole world is crazy! But I love this crazy world so much! Too crazy!"

Ye Tian said with a low smile, his smile was extremely brilliant and heartily!

The competition continues!

Although there are only two contenders left, the battle is even more intense! They are fighting for it, don't give in to each other!

160 million dollars! Amid the applause, John once again announced the new price loudly!

This is the fifth highest price in the history of art auctions in the world, successfully leaving Picasso's "La Rêve" behind!

The next goal will be Modigliani's work, " Nu couché".

This famous oil painting is in the hands of China's top collector Liu Yiqian and is worth as much as 170 million US dollars!
