After more than ten hours and a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, the Bombardier Global Express 8000 carrying the initial expansion of "Chunhua Pavilion" successfully flew to Beijing.
As soon as the plane landed at the Capital Airport, people from the Beijing City Bureau and the National Security Bureau immediately took over the security, and used an armored **** vehicle to carry the set of thousand-year-old books straight to the Forbidden City.
What followed was naturally a huge sensation.
All the famous antique professionals, cultural experts, and famous calligraphers in China flocked to the Forbidden City to admire this set of initial rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Calligraphy". The scene was extremely lively.
On the afternoon when this set of thousand-year-old ancient books arrived at the Forbidden City, Ye Tian received a call from Mr. Jin of the Forbidden City and several other top cultural experts.
Several old gentlemen were very excited. What they said on the phone was basically the same, and they completely confirmed Ye Tian’s identification conclusion!
That set of thousand-year-old ancient books is the first rubbing edition of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", which comes from the early Northern Song Dynasty and is a collection of the Zhao Song royal family. The seals of the Northern Song emperors on the ancient books are all authentic!
While confirming the appraisal conclusion, these old gentlemen were also full of praise for Ye Tian. They showered him with complimentary words like they were free of charge, almost praising him like a flower!
At the same time as the earthquake occurred in domestic antique shops, a huge tsunami also set off in the field of American antique art collection, and even in the entire Western antique art collection field.
The day after "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" was sent back to China, the auction preview of Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" also officially kicked off and was open to all the public.
It is still Sotheby's that holds the consignment auction rights for "The Creation of Adam".
We have cooperated with each other many times. We are familiar with each other and enjoy the cooperation. Under normal circumstances, there is really no need to change partners.
There is another reason that also prompted Ye Tian to choose Sotheby's instead of other auction houses.
In order to win the auction rights for this Michelangelo painting, Sotheby's directly promised to waive the auction commission, which is tens of millions of dollars! Even Ye Tian was moved by it.
Appearing at the auction preview, in addition to Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam", there is also the important historical document, "General Sherman's March Notes", as well as several other top antique works of art.
"General Sherman's March Notes" has been in Ye Tian's hands for more than half a year. He has no intention of collecting it. After hyping its popularity and attracting huge attention, it is time to sell it and collect US dollars!
The other top antique artworks are basically the harvest of the Boston treasure hunt. Each piece is made by a famous Western artist and is worth a lot of money! There is nothing less than 20 million US dollars!
How could such an auction preview not cause a huge tsunami?
On the first day of the preview, countless people flocked to the preview exhibition hall of Sotheby's auction house, ready to see the charm of those top-notch works of art and have a conversation with Michelangelo, one of the three post-Renaissance heroes!
In New York that day, the Sotheby's auction house in midtown Manhattan unsurprisingly became the busiest place in the city and the focus of national attention.
In addition to ordinary people, many famous collectors, antique art appraisal experts, antique dealers, art brokers, professionals from major museums in New York and even the United States, etc., came one after another!
Among them are top collectors from Europe and other places, as well as representatives from major museums. Many of them come here for Michelangelo.
It is a pity that even if they spend a lot of money and defeat all competitors to win the "Creation of Adam", they will not be able to take it out of the United States. Those guys in the FBI Art Crime Unit are not useless.
After understanding this situation, many museum representatives from Europe had no choice but to withdraw their troops early and withdraw from the competition for "The Creation of Adam" with great regret.
As for the super rich and top collectors, they have no such worries.
For them, getting this Michelangelo is their top priority. Restricting departure is not a problem at all. The worst they can do is buy a house in the United States!
Ye Tian was naturally happy to see the lively preview scene.
The greater the sensation caused by the preview, the higher the visibility of those antique artworks, the more attention they attract, and the more buyers will naturally participate in the competition.
The final result will naturally bring more wealth and more dollars to Ye Tian.
This preview, which shocked the United States, lasted seven days before it ended, and it ended forcibly!
If not for this, it is estimated that this preview can continue to be held, and there will never be a shortage of people to visit the preview. Just believers from various church organizations in the United States can make this preview last for several years!
During the preview, Ye Tian was not idle.
He sent many antique works of art to major auction houses in New York, entrusted them with the auction rights, and began to make a fortune in the auction market.
On the fourth day after the preview, Ye Tian's first special auction of the New York spring auction season officially started at Christie's auction house, attracting countless attention.
The title of this special auction is ‘Caribbean Shipwreck Treasures Special Auction’.
The items appearing in this special auction are all antique artworks, various gemstones, gold and silver products, etc. selected from the treasures of Caribbean shipwrecks. There is a dazzling array and wide variety!
Before the special auction even started, the Spaniards and Colombians jumped out and expressed their solemn protest, demanding that Ye Tian and Christie's suspend the special auction and once again claim the gold and silver treasures.
For these guys, Ye Tian didn't bother to talk to them at all, and he didn't even have the interest to argue!
The same goes for Christie's auction house. For them, making money is the most important thing. Spaniards and Colombians? Just stay where it's cool.
Amidst all the commotion, this special auction of Caribbean shipwreck treasures started smoothly, attracting the attention and enthusiasm of many buyers.
In this special auction, most of these antique artworks and gold and silver treasures from the depths of the Caribbean Sea were successfully auctioned and turned into green dollars, and only a few of them failed to be auctioned!
How can Spanish politicians and Colombians still sit still after seeing Ye Tian's huge amounts of US dollars? Their eyes were red with jealousy, and their teeth were itching with hatred, but there was nothing they could do!
As before, they can only protest and condemn in the media, and organize people to demonstrate in front of the Rockefeller Building, which is useless!
The time soon came to May, and heavyweight auctions started one after another. Ye Tian's momentum of sweeping wealth became even crazier, making everyone dumbfounded and envious.
On the first day of May, there is a heavyweight auction.
'American History and Culture Auction' at Sotheby's.
At this auction, the "General Sherman's March Notes" in Ye Tian's hand, which has been requested for many times, will finally be officially unveiled at the auction.
Because of its importance, this notebook naturally became the finale of this special auction.
And those famous museums, private foundations, top collectors, wealthy American universities, and even some institutions of the US military are coveting this important historical document!
These guys took action one after another, gearing up one by one, vowing to capture this extremely important historical document and the national treasure of the United States!
For Ye Tian, this kind of scene is obviously what he wants to see the most.
The more intense the competition, the better. It’s best for a person to be smarter than a dog, so he can make more money!
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian took Betty to the Sotheby's auction house and appeared at the door of the auction hall, ready to harvest dollars again!
