Time flies by and it’s already the 12th day of the New Year.
The private auction that shocked the entire antique shop and set off huge waves in the field of Asian antique art auctions has ended for a full week.
In the past week, Ye Tian was so busy that he could hardly touch the ground, and he didn't feel free until yesterday.
On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the auction ended successfully and after a celebration, the delivery process immediately entered.
Many buyers who successfully bid at the auction and chose to deliver on the spot signed their names on the transaction contract and the commitment agreement one by one, confirming the transaction.
Following their actions, a huge amount of funds of more than ten to two billion yuan poured into the bank account Ye Tian specially opened for this auction in just one or two hours.
The large number and frequency of these transaction funds even shocked the relevant bank staff, so much so that the dedicated account manager called Ye Tian directly to ask about Ye Tian's specific situation.
After completing the delivery, these buyers each left the exhibition hall and the Beijing Hotel with the top-notch antique artworks they had captured.
When they walked out of the exhibition hall, everyone was excited and returned home in triumph!
Less than half of the buyers delivered on site, and the rest chose to deliver later. Of course, Ye Tian understood this situation very well.
Not every buyer has a lot of spare money on hand and can take it out immediately. It still takes some time to raise some money.
Especially for museums and other cultural institutions from all over the world, there are still some necessary procedures to go through, and it is basically impossible to deliver the goods immediately in the exhibition hall.
For the next two days, Ye Tian was busy with this matter, almost working continuously for forty-eight hours.
Two days later, all delivery procedures were successfully completed, and the remaining top-notch antique artworks that had been auctioned were also taken away by many successful buyers, each with their own destination!
The funds in Ye Tian's bank account skyrocketed again, making relevant bank staff stunned and envious!
During this period, Ye Tian hired several senior real estate appraisers and rushed to Ya'er Hutong, Nanluogu Lane, with his lawyer to evaluate Lao Li's house covering an area of more than 600 square meters.
As Lao Li himself said, the courtyard house has an excellent location and is in a very good state of preservation. It is a rare and good house with a market price of nearly 400 million yuan.
After receiving the professional evaluation report, Ye Tian immediately completed the delivery with Lao Li without any hesitation!
He successfully won the courtyard house, while Lao Li won the pair of Junyao plum vases from the Northern Song Dynasty, which are regarded as national treasures. Both of them gained something, and everyone was happy!
The market price of that house exceeds the auction price by a lot. Ye Tian will naturally compensate for the excess and will not let Lao Li suffer any loss!
When the property rights change procedures are completed later, Lao Li will receive more than 100 million in cash compensation, which is enough for him to buy a courtyard house elsewhere in the capital without having to live in a building at all!
Next, Ye Tian handed over all the transaction contracts to his father, who kept these contracts. He did not intend to take these contracts to the United States.
Dad was also responsible for following up on the property rights change procedures for the courtyard house in Ya'er Hutong. Two lawyers, Tian Huafeng and Chen Fei, assisted and handled related legal matters.
For the next few days, Ye Tian still had no time to relax.
He first accepted an exclusive interview with a CCTV personality, made a splash on TV, and explained to the public the origins of the top antique artworks at the auction!
As for the auction prices of those antique artworks and the identities of the many winning bidders, he did not mention a word, leaving endless room for people's imagination!
But in the antique shop, it is no secret that those top antique works of art fetched sky-high prices and fell into the hands of that collector or museum! Almost everyone knows it!
In addition to CCTV, many local TV stations, websites, and other news media are paying attention to him, including those from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, as well as many foreign news media.
The most enthusiastic and active foreign media are news media from the United States, such as the New York Times and NBC TV.
These guys know nothing about Chinese antiques and art. They only care about one thing, and that is the turnover of this auction, simple and crude!
Because of the media attention, within a few days after the auction, Ye Tian also enjoyed superstar treatment and experienced the feeling of a superstar!
No matter where he went in those days, he would be chased and intercepted by many media reporters. Countless guns and cannons would shoot at him wildly, trying to get close to him for interviews.
At first, he enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight, but after less than a day, he felt bored and was too lazy to deal with those annoying media reporters like flies!
In the following time, Raymond, the others, and several Chinese security personnel erected a strong line of defense around him, preventing media reporters from approaching and not allowing any interview opportunities.
After two or three days in a row, those media reporters dispersed one after another when they saw that there was no chance.
Of course, they would inevitably complain and even curse behind their backs, blaming Ye Tian for not understanding the style and not treating the uncrowned kings like them as dishes!
After completing the delivery procedures and resting at home for less than half a day, Ye Tian became busy again.
He signed a series of exhibition loan contracts with the Forbidden City, borrowed a tightly secured temporary exhibition hall, and displayed all the antique artworks given to his family for public exhibition!
Still in the Forbidden City, a special exhibition hall belonging to him has been arranged in full swing, installing the most advanced display equipment and the top security system, striving to create the best personal exhibition room in the country!
After the interior decoration of this special exhibition hall is completed and it passes the most stringent inspection, it will be officially put into use!
The antique artworks displayed in the temporary exhibition hall will be moved to the dedicated exhibition hall for public exhibition, becoming a unique exhibition hall in the Forbidden City!
In addition, Ye Tian also signed a secondment contract with the Forbidden City for relevant staff! It is planned to second a group of the most professional cultural and museum personnel in the country to work in this exhibition room.
There are two people responsible for managing the exhibition room.
A man from the Forbidden City is a very experienced cultural expert and is trustworthy! The other one is Ye Tian’s family member, his aunt! She is responsible for the internal management of the showroom!
My aunt used to work as an editor in a publishing house. She was also considered a well-educated person. She was also very careful and serious, so she was pulled over by Ye Tian to manage this personal exhibition room.
For this job, my aunt didn’t hesitate at all and immediately nodded and agreed, very simply!
The income here is higher, and it is relatively leisurely. You can deal with priceless and beautiful antiques and art every day. How could my aunt refuse?
What’s more important is that all the antiques and artworks in this exhibition room belong to her family, and there are also a few treasures that belong to her own family. They are all valuable, and it is even more impossible for her to refuse!
When these antique artworks were transported to the Forbidden City for display, many Forbidden City museum experts who rushed to the exhibition room were shocked again. They were all dumbfounded and envious!
Only then did they see all the antique artworks Ye Tian brought back to the country!
In addition to being shocked, these cultural experts also had a deeper understanding of Ye Tian's strong strength and generosity to his family!
This is not the end yet, it is just the beginning!
Ye Tian later announced in public that more priceless top-notch antique artworks would be stationed in this exhibition hall one after another, enriching the exhibits here and raising the level of this exhibition hall!
The treasures he is talking about are also Chinese antique artworks that have been lost overseas for a long time. They come from his personal collection. Each piece is a fine product and is currently being stored in major vaults in New York!
In addition to these, there are also antique works of art that he will receive in the future. As long as they are of excellent quality and come from China, they can be sent here!
Naturally, many cultural experts from the Forbidden City welcomed this point very much. They all smiled happily and slapped their hands so excitedly that they almost broke their faces!
While signing the exhibition loan contract, Ye Tian also signed a series of insurance contracts with a famous art insurance company, insuring a huge amount of insurance for every exhibit in the exhibition hall! For safety!
As he said to Lao Li before, Ye Tian invited many media reporters to witness the event and live broadcast the entire process of signing the exhibition loan contract and setting up the exhibition on the Internet.
Through this action, he sent a very clear message to the outside world.
Brother, I did leave behind many top-notch antiques and artworks in China, but these treasures are not collected at home, but in the personal exhibition hall of the Forbidden City! Everyone can buy a ticket to come in and visit!
This will definitely dispel the covetousness of many people. Unless he plans to loot the Forbidden City, how is that possible?
Many cultural and cultural experts in the Forbidden City were dumbfounded by his behavior, but they had no choice but to complain crazily in their hearts.
We are the Forbidden City! A world-famous museum, as for the idea of acquiring these antique works of art from your boy? Even though they are all top quality, the quality is very good and exciting!
With the help of the media and the Internet, the news that Ye Tian opened a personal exhibition room in the Forbidden City to exhibit his top antique artworks quickly spread throughout the antique shops and throughout the country.
The next morning, as soon as the Forbidden City opened its doors, a group of professionals from Beijing antique stores and major museums rushed into the Forbidden City and went straight to Ye Tian's temporary exhibition room!
When they entered the exhibition hall and saw the priceless top-notch antique artworks displayed in bulletproof glass showcases that had been lost overseas for a long time, they were immediately shocked and excited!
Immediately afterwards, they were attracted by these treasures, admiring them with intoxication, and never wanted to leave!
