In the banquet hall, Ye Tian's clear voice still echoed in the air and reached everyone's ears.
"...In the following time, everyone can enjoy the gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics displayed in those bulletproof glass shopkeepers, but they cannot conduct appraisals. Please understand and cooperate.
Two hours later, after everyone has finished admiring these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics, the auction process will begin. Everyone is welcome to bid enthusiastically, and I hope everyone can gain something.
It should be stated that the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts displayed in this banquet hall are only a small part of the treasures of the Knights Templar that I have obtained, but these exhibits are very representative.
What is being auctioned here today is only half of the treasures of the Knights Templar that I obtained. The other half will be used to exchange for fine Chinese antiques and art. Everyone is welcome to come and contact me for negotiation.
One more thing must be stated in advance. For all the gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics being auctioned today, I have set corresponding auction reserve prices based on the current antique art market conditions."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but rolled their eyes angrily, and everyone secretly complained.
This extremely greedy and cunning **** has thought of everything and leaves no room for everyone!
While secretly complaining, many people also gave up some undesirable ideas, such as joining forces to lower prices, playing games, etc.
Each of them knew clearly that that method was of no use at all, and it was best not to use it to embarrass others, so as not to make others laugh.
In this banquet hall, if you want to win your favorite antiques, there is only one way, and that is to roll up your sleeves and go out to fight and defeat all competitors.
As long as your pocket is deep enough, you will definitely get what you want today. Otherwise, you can only be a spectator and come to watch the excitement.
Ye Tian quickly glanced at everyone present, and then continued:
"For the sake of fairness, before the auction begins, I will give an envelope containing the auction reserve prices of all the lots to the lawyer. I will not disclose the document to the public until the auction is over.
In this way, you don’t have to worry about me playing tricks and adjusting the auction reserve price at will. I know that there are many antique dealers on the scene, so don’t worry, I will leave a profit margin for everyone.
Furthermore, we are all professionals who have been in this industry for a long time. They all have their own business strategies and their judgments are extremely accurate. I believe that no one will make a loss-making business.
After the auction, all unsold gold and silver treasures and antiques will be entrusted to major London auction houses for them to auction on their behalf in the future, but the reserve price will be significantly increased.
Okay, that’s all I have to say. I’ve wasted everyone’s time. Now you can go and appreciate the antiques from the Middle Ages and earlier periods. My staff will explain them to you.”
As he spoke, Ye Tian made an invitation gesture and gestured towards the exhibits displayed in bulletproof glass showcases.
"Pa bang bang"
A warm round of applause broke out and resounded throughout the entire banquet hall.
After the applause fell, the top collectors and professionals from all over the world in the banquet hall immediately dispersed to continue admiring the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts from the Knights Templar's treasures.
After the performance, Ye Tian immediately walked down the podium, came to Prince William and his wife, and joked to the British guys:
"His Royal Highness, Director Fisher, have you thought about making an exchange with me? Many top collectors and museum representatives who came here today are very interested in those priceless treasures.
Especially for King Edward I’s golden crown, no fewer than ten people have inquired from me, ready to acquire that British national treasure at all costs, but I have rejected them all.
If you are still unable to decide, then I can only change my mind and talk to the top collectors and famous museums about the transaction. This matter must be settled before I leave London."
Hearing this, Prince William and the director of the British Museum both smiled helplessly, as did the other British guys.
While smiling bitterly, each of these British guys were itching their teeth with hatred, wishing they could pounce on Ye Tian and beat Ye Tian up so that they could vent their anger.
"Steven, you are clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune. I have never seen or even heard of a greedy guy like you before"
Prince William said in a low voice, every word coming out from between his teeth.
Taking advantage of the situation? Isn't this what you British guys used to do all the time, and you were even more shameless and despicable. You only did it once, but you couldn't bear the pain?
Where is this? The days are still long, and things like this will happen one after another in the future. Just accept it and treat it as repaying your debt!
Of course, these are Ye Tian's psychological activities and cannot be expressed verbally.
"Your Highness, I'm serious, this can't be called taking advantage of the situation. In my opinion, this is a fair transaction based on market value, which is beneficial to both you and me. The result is a win-win situation, so why not do it?" ”
Ye Tian smiled and whispered, not paying attention to Prince William's slander and attacks.
At this point, the curator of the British Museum standing nearby suddenly interrupted and said:
"Steven, we can trade with you and exchange the collection of Chinese antiques and art for British national treasures including King Edward I's golden crown, but the subject of the transaction still needs to be discussed.
Our British Museum is one of the four major museums in the world, especially famous for its all-inclusiveness. We must not allow the Chinese pavilion of our British Museum to completely collapse just because of this antique art transaction."
Ye Tian turned to look at this familiar old friend, smiled leisurely and said:
"Of course, Fisher, I have no intention of destroying the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum and jeopardizing the British Museum's position in the industry. Let's talk about the specific transaction targets during the formal talks tomorrow"
While saying this, Ye Tian also glanced at the director of the British Library and the chairman of the David Foundation.
Without exception, these are all the people he is prepared to kill, and no one can escape.
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian took Prince William, his wife, and several other British people to visit the many antiques and cultural relics displayed in the banquet hall, and explained them to them personally.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
When the time came to 3:30 in the afternoon, Ye Tian stood on the podium again, picked up the microphone, and tapped it a few times.
As the crisp knocking sound came out, the attention of everyone present was attracted. They all turned their heads to look at the rostrum, and all looked at the high-spirited Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, who was standing on the rostrum, quickly scanned the whole place, then walked behind the auction table and said to everyone present with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past two hours, everyone has appreciated all the gold, silver, treasures and antiques displayed in this banquet hall, made some appraisals, and determined their goals.
Next, we will enter the auction, and I will personally preside over the auction. The auction number plate you receive when you enter the banquet hall is your bidding number. Just raise it when you participate in the bidding.
Our employees at Brave Exploration Company will provide services for this private auction, record everyone's bids, and be responsible for reminding me at any time that today's entire auction process will be videotaped.
When the auction ends, I will disclose the auction reserve prices of all the sold lots, and then everyone can come up to my personal lawyer to sign the contract and other related documents, and make the delivery on the spot.
Contained in this envelope is the auction reserve price I have set for all the antiques and cultural relics to be auctioned today. Now I will hand it over to a few lawyers and keep it in their custody until the auction is over."
With that said, Ye Tian picked up a sealed envelope from the auction table, showed it in public, and then taught it to David who came forward.
Next, David and several British lawyers checked the envelopes one by one.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the envelope, they showed it to everyone present, and then put the envelope into a transparent box so that everyone could see it.
After completing this procedure, Ye Tian continued:
"One thing must be stated. The delivery period for all the lots sold at today's auction is only three days. Before we leave London, the delivery must be completed, and both money and goods must be paid."
Before he finished speaking, there was already a small commotion at the scene.
"Wow! The delivery period is only three days, and the money and goods must be paid. Isn't this a bit too harsh?"
"No way! This is a private auction, and it is a private auction held by this guy Steven. All the initiative is in his hands. We are only qualified to raise our placards to bid, and we no longer have the slightest say. ! ”
The reactions of everyone at the scene were all expected by Ye Tian, and he did not feel surprised at all.
When the sound at the scene subsided, he immediately smiled and said loudly:
“Ladies and gentlemen, that’s all I have to say before the auction begins. I hope everyone can actively participate in the bidding based on their own circumstances, and I also hope everyone can gain something.
Okay, the auction begins now. The first lot of today’s auction is a set of gold coins that were circulated in the British Isles around BC. For information about this set of gold coins, please look at the large projection screen."
As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his hand and gestured towards the large projection screen next to the rostrum.
At the same time, videos, pictures, and related text information about those antique gold coins began to be played on the large projection screen, which was very detailed.
Combined with the pictures on the big screen, Ye Tian's explanation continued.
"This set of gold coins includes Celtic gold coins minted around the second century BC, Irish gold coins minted around 50 BC, as well as English gold coins and Scottish gold coins of the same period.
In addition, there are some gold coins minted during the occupation period of the ancient Roman Empire. There are a total of forty gold coins in this group. Each gold coin is very rare and extremely precious. It can be regarded as a special collection.
Through this set of gold coins, we can get a glimpse of the economic and social development of the British Isles before and after BC. It is the first-hand material and the most direct historical evidence for studying that period of history. Its importance can be imagined.
I can vouch for the value and authenticity of this group of antique gold coins. The starting price for this extremely important group of antique gold coins is four million euros, and the minimum increase in price per time is two hundred thousand euros.
Of course, you can also make your own quotation without any cap! Okay, the first auction starts now. The starting bid for this set of antique gold coins is four million euros, four million euros. Which gentleman or lady should bid? ”
As he loudly announced the start of the auction, Ye Tian's eyes were like eagle eyes, quickly scanning the audience to see if anyone raised a sign to accept the bid.
Several company employees assisting the auction also became more excited. They stood on the podium and scanned the audience, ready to fill in the gaps for Ye Tian at any time.
As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the audience.
"Steven, here, I am very interested in this set of antique gold coins"
The person holding the placard to answer the price was Leon, a top collector from the United States and an old friend of Ye Tian's who was very familiar with him. He had dealt with it many times before.
Obviously, besides being interested in this set of antique gold coins and wanting to keep them in his pocket, Leon also wanted to support Ye Tian and form a good relationship.
Seeing this old friend raising a sign to accept the price, Ye Tian immediately nodded gently to him, and then said loudly with a smile:
"OK! The bidder on the 36th is Mr. Leon from the United States. Thank you for your support. The current price of this set of antique gold coins is 4.2 million euros and 4.2 million euros. That gentleman or lady should Price? ”
"Four million and two million euros, I took it"
Another person held a placard to answer the price, this time a representative from the Museum of Glasgow, Scotland.
