Shortly after the White House press conference, a group of people from Sotheby’s auction house came to the company first, and they were all familiar old friends.
After welcoming the other people into the company conference room and exchanging polite greetings, Larry, Sotheby’s head of jewelry, said with great anticipation:
"Steven, just before I left the auction house, I saw the White House's public statement on TV. I didn't expect that you not only invited the Pope to preside over the wedding, but also invited the President. The scene was really huge,
I would like to ask, can I attend the wedding with my family members? To tell you the truth, when I heard that the Pope was coming, my wife was so excited that she could hardly sleep. She was extremely eager to see the Pope."
Not only Larry, but also several other old friends from the Sotheby's auction house were present. Who wouldn't want to bring their family members to attend this wedding that is sure to attract much attention?
After hearing what Larry said, the other people immediately turned to look at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer, their eyes extremely hot.
Ye Tian glanced at these people, then nodded with a smile and said:
“Of course, no problem. As long as friends who have received invitations to Betty and I’s wedding can bring their partners to Boston for the wedding ceremony, we are very welcome.
However, each person can only bring their partner, not their children. The church venue for the wedding is limited, and there are many invited guests, so some restrictive measures must be taken.
Because the Pope and the President will attend this wedding, as well as many other important people, the security check at the site must be very strict, and it will be a lot of inconvenience to bring children."
“We understand this, Steven, it’s okay if you can bring your partner to the wedding. In this way, I can do business when I go back. I believe my wife will be ecstatic when she hears the news!
You are right. This wedding between you and Betty is different from other weddings. It is indeed not suitable to bring children to attend. Those little ones are too naughty and might cause trouble! "
Larry said excitedly, wishing he could take out the phone immediately and tell his wife the good news.
The rest of the guys were the same, all of them beaming with joy.
After chatting for a while about weddings, the Pope, and other things, everyone got down to business and started discussing the New York autumn auction season, which had already begun.
The first person to speak out was Greg, the sales director of Sotheby’s auction house.
"Steven, the Asian Art Week auction has just ended. Taking into account the transaction results of our Sotheby's and other major auction houses, it is no surprise that you have once again become the biggest winner.
In just a few of our Sotheby's auctions, more than a dozen pieces of antique art commissioned by your company were sold, and the transaction prices were very ideal, with the total transaction volume approaching US$100 million.
In addition to you, a new professional treasure hunter named Bowie who has emerged in New York has also made quite a fortune. According to our preliminary statistics, he is the second seller after you.
That guy has a large number of valuable Asian antiques in his hands, and has entrusted them to various auction houses. He made a lot of money during the Asian Art Week in this autumn auction season! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian and David immediately looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
The biggest winner is me, and the second-ranked one is my buddy! Bowie is just a cover. The antique artworks flowing out of his hands, without exception, all belong to my brothers!
However, old friends like Sotheby's Auction House don't know the secret. At this moment, they are all in the dark and confused!
The same goes for other auction houses in New York. They all began to pay attention to the newly emerged Texas cowboy, but they had no idea that the person standing behind the Texas cowboy was Ye Tian!
After a pause, Greg continued:
“After Asia Art Week ended, this year’s New York autumn auction season really entered its climax. It just so happened that you returned from Europe and brought back a large number of top-notch antiques.
Next, we can carry out deeper cooperation and bring more top-notch antique artworks to the market. Many collectors are ready and ready to fight!
Especially your harvest from this trip to Europe has become the focus of attention of the entire auction market and all top collectors. Everyone is waiting for you to release those treasures, so that you can compete! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the director of the Ancient Art Department of Egypt and West Asia immediately continued:
"Yes, Steven, for example, the gold crown you salvaged from the bottom of the English Channel and the golden mask of Bast, the ancient Egyptian cat god, have attracted the attention of many top collectors.
If those two top antiques are put up for auction, they will definitely cause a huge sensation, attracting countless top collectors and even related countries to compete, and it is very likely to set a new transaction record!
At the end of October, we at Sotheby’s will have a special auction of ancient Egyptian and West Asian antiquities. If you can entrust us with those two top antiques, we will definitely be able to give you the most satisfactory result."
After saying that, the guy looked at Ye Tian expectantly, waiting for him to give his answer.
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Erwin, this is a very good suggestion. I am willing to consider it. Anyway, I do not intend to collect the ancient Egyptian cat **** Bast's golden mask and the golden crown.
According to my estimation, the golden mask of the cat **** probably came from the tomb, and the golden crown was looted by Rommel. It may be stained with the blood of many people and how many innocent souls are attached!
This kind of antique art is not in my collection. Even though they are very precious and have great research value, I think it is unlucky. Of course, China's top antique art is another matter!
I haven't had time to study that golden crown yet. After Betty and I's wedding is over and we return to New York from Boston, I will find relevant experts and start studying that golden crown.
When the secret of the golden crown is revealed, we will look at the specific situation. If there is no need to keep it secret, I will talk to you about the entrusted auction. The special auction will be at the end of October, so there is no time left."
"Well, Steven, I look forward to good news from you"
Erwin nodded and said, still a little disappointed.
Immediately afterwards, the director of the European Classical Painting Department jumped out again and tried to recruit several top-notch works of art from Ye Tian to add a few heavyweight items to his department's special auction!
What this guy is staring at is mainly the top works of art from Napoleon's treasure, such as the works of Renaissance art masters such as Titian, Masaccio, and Dürer.
Once the paintings of those art masters appear on the art market or at auctions, they will definitely cause a huge sensation and attract crazy bidding from countless top collectors!
And this is what Sotheby's auction house wants to see most, and of course, Ye Tian is no exception!
Similar to Erwin before, Ye Tian neither agreed nor explicitly refused. He pushed back the time for negotiating the consignment auction and asked the other party to wait patiently for a while.
In fact, in Sotheby's European classical painting auction in late October, many lots were collected from Ye Tian, and the most important final lot belonged to him!
While Ye Tian and the others were meeting with the Sotheby's team, representatives from Christie's Auction House and Bonhams Auction House had also arrived at the company.
However, they could only wait in the company rest area, full of expectations and apprehension!
More than half an hour later, the Sotheby’s group just walked out of the conference room, shook hands with Ye Tian and David and the others, and then left the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company!
When they left the company, each of them had a bright smile on their face and was extremely excited!
The reason why they are so excited is for no other reason than that there is an envelope in Greg's briefcase, and that envelope contains a list with a long list of valuable antique artworks!
No need to ask, those antique works of art are all prepared by Ye Tian to be entrusted to Sotheby's auction house, so that they can be put on the market one after another during this year's New York autumn auction season!
Without exception, each of those antique works of art is valuable and has extraordinary artistic value.
Ye Tian still has several copies of the same list of antique artworks, prepared for major auction houses such as Christie's and Bonhams. You can't favor one over the other!
After the Sotheby’s auction house group left, Ye Tian called several old friends from Christie’s auction house into the conference room!
After some polite exchanges, another round of talks began. In these talks one after another, the tone of this year’s New York autumn auction season has been quietly set!
The process continued over and over again. Near five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and the others finally finished their work and became leisurely.
Next, it’s time to go to the rooftop banquet hall of the Plaza Hotel on Fifty-ninth Street to enjoy a grand celebration dinner and raise a toast!
