"Stephen, 2.5 billion euros"
Someone in the audience raised their hands and said loudly, with an aura of abandonment in their tone.
This was a proactive price increase. Based on the quotation given by Ye Tian, the price increase was 50 million euros. The price increase was quite astonishing.
The person who took the initiative to raise the price was Fried, a top collector from Germany. He was also an old friend of Ye Tian. They had dealt with each other several times in New York and Paris before.
Several oil paintings by German artists in Ye Tian's hands, such as a representative work by the art master Dürer, were acquired by this top collector.
Before Fried finished speaking, the scene was already boiling with excitement again. Everyone turned to look at the top German collector with shock on their faces.
"Wow! Twenty-five billion euros is really an exaggeration. I didn't expect Fried's wealth to be so rich. It's a bit beyond my expectation!"
“A one-time price increase of 50 million euros is a big deal. It is obvious that Fried wants to clear the market in this way and show his determination to repel the remaining competitors!”
In fact, Fried's bidding strategy did work, or partially worked.
Hearing his quotation and the momentum he showed, several competitors in the audience shook their heads one after another, with their faces full of disappointment and frustration, and withdrew from this crazy competition.
However, several powerful super-rich people and top collectors remained unmoved. They just nodded lightly at Fried with a smile on their faces, still maintaining high morale.
At this time, this private auction, which is destined to shock the world and create a new art transaction record, has started for nearly twenty minutes.
After dozens of rounds of crazy bidding, the price of "Lisa Gradini" has soared and has quickly reached 2.5 billion euros, such an astonishing price.
During this process, super-rich and top collectors continued to participate in the competition and raised their hands to accept the price. There were also people who shook their heads in disappointment and withdrew from the competition with endless regrets.
The first one to withdraw from the competition was Tiano, who was the first to raise his hand and act on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Culture. The budget of the Italian Ministry of Culture was obviously very limited, and they were defeated in just a few rounds of competition.
Next, Tiano and Giovanni were completely reduced to spectators, standing in the middle of the crowd depressed, their eyes were red with envy and they were about to bleed!
Twenty-five billion euros! This is such an astonishing price, it has exceeded the psychological price of most competitors, and even far exceeded their imagination.
At this time, there were very few buyers left among the competitors, with only five or six people left.
These five or six people are all world-famous super rich people and famous top collectors. Each of them has a net worth of tens of millions and unfathomable strength!
At this point, the competition surrounding "Lisa Gradini" has not stopped, but has become more intense, and the smell of gunpowder in the air has become even stronger!
Hearing the sky-high price of 2.5 billion euros quoted by Fried, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy, and he was so excited that he almost cheered.
Beyond this price point, it means that "Lisa Gradini" no longer belongs to him.
When the auction ends and the auction hammer falls in his hand, this priceless treasure will officially change hands and become the trophy of the winner of the bid.
There is no other reason, because 2.5 billion euros is the auction reserve price of "Lisa Gradini".
After Fried took the initiative to raise the price, Ye Tian paused for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed at his old friend from Germany, and then said passionately:
"Wow! 2.5 billion euros, Fried quoted 2.5 billion euros. I have to say, this is really a big deal. The current quotation for "Lisa Gradini" is 2.52 billion euros. .
Which gentleman or lady should bid? Maria, Silvio, Bernard, and Dimitris, do you accept the price? Don't miss this opportunity, don't miss this priceless treasure! ”
While loudly quoting, he also named several super-rich people and top collectors who were still in the competition, and continued to confuse these super predators!
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the audience immediately responded.
Maria, the richest man in Italy, raised her right hand to answer the price and joked loudly:
"Okay, Steven, I'll take this offer. Obviously, whoever wins today will be robbed crazily by you. Anyway, I'm ready to lose everything!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
And everyone nodded in unison, obviously feeling the same and thinking that Maria's words made sense.
"Going bankrupt? How is that possible? Maria, you are truly the richest man in Italy, with a net worth of tens of billions. Billions of euros are nothing to you!
What's more, this "Lisa Gradini" is indeed worth the money, especially for your company. It can be used as a promotional sign, registered as a trademark, and developed a series of products.
If it works well, you can easily make back even the tens of billions of euros you spent to buy this oil painting, not to mention the billions spent to buy this oil painting. Moreover, the value of the painting will be maintained and increased, and you will definitely make a huge profit! ”
Ye Tian said with a smile, chatting with the richest Italian man in the audience, and was not in a hurry to quote a new price.
After hearing his words, Maria's eyes immediately brightened and shone brightly.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ye Tian's words touched her heart.
The reason why she participated in this private auction was that she loved art. She wanted to keep "Lisa Gradini" in her collection and treat it as an art investment to maintain and increase its value.
But the more important purpose is to consider the family business.
She saw the huge potential value of "Lisa Gradini" at a glance, and wanted to build it into a top-notch brand, produce a series of products to market, and enhance the popularity of the family business. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes with one stone!
Maria was not the only one at the scene who had the same purpose. The other super rich people also had their own plans. Who wouldn’t want to own a gold mine comparable to the Mona Lisa!
On the other hand, those top collectors are relatively simple-minded. Most of them participate in the auction because they love art and art collection!
"Steven, you are so smart. Why don't you stop being a professional treasure hunter and come work for my company, I will give you the highest salary in the industry!"
Maria said loudly, jokingly, with admiration in her eyes.
Ye Tian shook his head gently, smiled and said loudly:
"Forget it, Maria. Everyone knows that Ferrero is a family company. Your two sons, Pedro and Giovanni, are both veritable business geniuses. How can they stand out if they join your company? Day!
More importantly, I don’t want to work for others, and I prefer antiques, art, and a life of exploring treasures and unknown secrets. This is not the most enjoyable way, but I still want to thank you for the invitation! ”
After hearing this, Maria immediately shrugged her shoulders with pretense of regret, but a look of pride flashed in her eyes, obviously feeling proud and proud of her two sons.
