After five rounds of bidding, this Symbolist painting by Gustave was successfully sold.
The buyers who bought the painting were two of Ye Tian's classmates. They unanimously quoted a price of 145,600 yuan and luckily won the painting.
The upper limit of the auction price set by Ye Tian for this Symbolist painting is 145,700 yuan, which is only 100 yuan higher than the hammer price.
As soon as the results were announced, the two guys who won the bid immediately cheered and celebrated, while the other buyers who passed by the painting were filled with regret.
Especially the guys who bid 145,800 yuan sighed with regret and wished they could turn back time.
However, the auction result has been decided and no one can change it. Everyone can only focus on the other eight antique works of art that will be unveiled one after another.
The third piece of antique art to be auctioned is a pair of fine porcelains fired during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The Yongzheng Doucai Sanqiu Cup of the Qing Dynasty has a beautiful shape and simple and elegant painting. It is very beautiful.
This pair of Doucai Sanqiu Cups was originally collected by the Qing Palace. They were plundered by invaders more than a hundred years ago and were lost overseas. It was not until Ye Tian discovered them in Notting Hill, England, that they returned to China.
Unsurprisingly, when this pair of Qing Yongzheng Doucai Sanqiu Cups was unveiled, it immediately caused a sensation, and everyone's attention was attracted by this pair of small and exquisite Sanqiu Cups.
Especially the top collectors and antique art appraisal experts who were present, their eyes were shining brightly, staring closely at the pair of Sanqiu cups, wishing they could take them for themselves!
As China's top collectors and antique art appraisal experts, each of them has dabbled in the collection and appreciation of antique porcelain, and their level is quite high.
They also know how rare and valuable this pair of Qing Yongzheng doucai Sanqiu cups is, and everyone wants to get these small and exquisite cups in their pockets.
But unfortunately, they are not qualified to participate in this auction.
They could only think of a way afterwards and contact the buyer who had photographed the pair of Sanqiu Cups to see if they could accept the pair of Qing Yongzheng Sanqiu Cups and get their wish.
They are not the only ones who have the idea of Sanqiu Cup.
The auction house managers and famous entrepreneurs with elegant collections who were also in the banquet hall looked at the pair of Sanqiu Cups with their eyes shining, and they all looked at them eagerly.
As before, while displaying the pair of Qing Yongzheng doucai Sanqiu cups, Ye Tian also introduced the pair of antique porcelain and told the hidden story behind the pair of porcelain.
When everyone heard that this was originally an old collection of the Qing Palace, but was plundered by invaders more than a hundred years ago and has since been lost overseas, they all felt a little sad.
After telling the story, everyone suddenly became more interested in this pair of exquisite porcelains that were branded as old collections of the Qing Dynasty and had gone through many hardships. They were all eager to get it!
You can imagine the bidding scene that follows.
Except for the professionals who could only watch, the ignorant children, and the three people who had made some achievements before, everyone else rolled up their sleeves and participated in the competition.
Of course, this does not include Ye Tian’s family. They all sat on the wall and watched, enjoying the show.
It didn't take long for the auction to end successfully.
There were four buyers in total who finally won. They unanimously bid 215,800 yuan and won the pair of Qing Yongzheng Doucai Sanqiu Cups.
The transaction price is divided among individuals. Each person only needs to pay a little more than 50,000 yuan to own a quarter of the rights to this pair of exquisite porcelain.
When the results came out, the scene was naturally lively again. Some people were happy, but many others were disappointed.
Fortunately, there are still seven antique works of art behind, and there are still many opportunities, so everyone quickly gathered their emotions and braced themselves for another fight.
The next piece is another antique from the Roman Empire, the fifth piece of antique art is a calligraphy work by a famous artist from the mid-Qing Dynasty, and the sixth piece is another Western antique piece of art...
In this way, pieces of Eastern and Western antique artworks appeared alternately, setting off waves of enthusiasm in the banquet hall, gradually pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
The auction hammer in Ye Tian's hand fell six times in succession. Every time it rang, an antique artwork was successfully auctioned, and there was a burst of excited cheers from the scene.
Buyers who successfully purchased these six pieces of antique art include either alone, two or three people, or even more people who jointly own an antique art piece.
Inevitably, many guests also made mistakes in their valuations and were somewhat disappointed not to get any antique artwork.
However, they did not return empty-handed today. The souvenir they received earlier was a very nice surprise.
When the last piece of Western antique art was successfully auctioned, and the notary announced the upper limit of the transaction price on the spot, the second round of auction officially came to an end, and the result was perfect!
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction table, joked:
“Here, I think it is necessary to remind the buyers who have just successfully photographed antique artworks to be careful of the professionals in the banquet hall. Those guys’ eyes are almost red.
After everyone has signed the auction confirmation contract, don’t leave in a hurry. Come to me and ask about the market value of the antique artwork you bought. I will give you a relatively reasonable valuation.
In this way, whether you are collecting the antique art or selling it, you will have peace of mind. If you sell it, if the buyer's bid is lower than the estimated value, don't pay attention to him!
Not long after the Spring Festival, this year’s spring auction will begin. You can also send those antique artworks to the auction. As for the valuation I gave, it can be regarded as the auction reserve price! ”
When saying this, Ye Tian also pointed at the top collectors, antique art appraisal experts, and other professionals.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
Amidst the laughter, those guests who had just been lucky enough to take pictures of antique artworks all nodded slightly, preparing to go to Ye Tian later and ask him to give an estimate so that they would be well aware of it.
As for the professionals in the banquet hall, all of them smiled helplessly and pointed at Ye Tian on the stage.
Yes! There is no advantage to be taken advantage of now!
If you want to accept those very good antiques and artworks just now, you must come up with real money and silver. All other tricks will not work.
After joking for a while, Ye Tian returned to the topic and said loudly with a smile:
“The second round of auctions has ended, and all ten pieces of Eastern and Western antique artworks have been sold. Congratulations to those friends who have auctioned those antique artworks, you are very lucky.
For those of you who didn’t take photos of those antique artworks, don’t regret it. There will be opportunities like this in the future. At the next charity auction, you may be the lucky one! ”
With his words, the scene suddenly boiled.
"I'll go! Listen to Xiaotian, he will hold charity auctions like this in the future. Is it true? This is too big a deal!"
“It’s only Ye Tian who plans to hold charity auctions of this scale one after another. If it were any other person, let alone his courage, who would have so many antiques and artworks!”
In the midst of the discussion, the disappointment and regret in the eyes of those guests who had failed to bid and failed to take any pictures of antique artworks were instantly wiped away!
Instead, there were eyes full of expectation.
Ye Tian is right, there are still opportunities, maybe he will be lucky next time!
The professionals in the banquet hall were completely shocked by Ye Tian's words. They all looked at Ye Tian with their mouths open, their eyes filled with disbelief, and they wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.
When the scene became quieter, Ye Tian's voice immediately came out from the stage again.
"What will be done next is the third round of auction, which is only for professionals present, and other guests are not allowed to participate. There are also ten pieces of antique art on the auction, half of which are Eastern and Western antique art.
The auction rules are similar to the second round. In the first four rounds of bidding for each piece of antique art, I call out the bid, and the professionals participating in the bidding decide whether to accept the bid. The final round is free bidding.
The ten antique works of art auctioned in this round also have a transaction price upper limit, and I assure you that this transaction price upper limit must be lower than their market value, leaving room for everyone to operate and profit.
You are all senior professionals, so the actual value of the antique artworks on auction cannot be hidden from your eyes. When everyone sees those antique artworks, they will know how to bid.
During free bidding, it is still the same as before. We come one table at a time, otherwise the scene will be chaotic. When all buyers have given their bids, I will announce the bidding results, and the winning bidder will be clear at a glance.
If one person wins the bid, he will naturally own the antique work of art alone. If the winning bidder is two or more people, the winning bidders will equally share the rights and interests of the corresponding antique work of art, jointly contribute capital, and share the profits."
"No problem, Ye Tian, we accept these conditions, let's start quickly, everyone can't wait!"
"That's right, Ye Tian, let's start quickly. I wonder what is the first antique artwork to be unveiled?"
Many professionals in the audience started making noises. Everyone looked impatient, their eyes were shining brightly, and they were full of expectations.
Everyone, including them, stared at the unopened boxes, painting tubes, painting bags, and portable safes on the stage. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
At this time, everyone is secretly guessing what the antique artworks that will be unveiled next are and how much they are worth!
Ye Tian glanced at the professionals in the audience, then smiled and said loudly:
"Please be patient, everyone, you will soon see the first antique artwork to be auctioned. I believe this antique artwork will bring a surprise to everyone!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian nodded to the two company employees standing next to the auction table and asked them to display the first piece of antique art.
Then the two company employees took action. They picked up a box from the side of the auction table and placed it on the display table in front of the auction table.
Immediately afterwards, they carefully opened the box, took out a piece of antique porcelain, placed it gently in the center of the display table, and then stepped aside.
Almost the moment this antique porcelain appeared, there was a roar in the audience. The professionals who were invited to attend the wedding banquet pushed away their chairs and stood up.
Without exception, every one of them had a shocked expression on their face, dumbfounded!
