"Hey! Why are they?"
Ye Tian muttered to himself, and then led Betty towards the door.
Behind him were four old Chinese men, three of whom Ye Tian knew.
Two well-known Internet giants in China are both in their forties or fifties. The other one is a well-known collector. He is also famous, about sixty years old, and comes from the capital!
It was this collector who greeted Ye Tian.
There was another person standing next to them, a strange face, who looked like he was in his early fifties.
At this time, the four people were standing at the door, looking at Ye Tian coming over, with a bit of curiosity in their eyes.
Although he knew them, Ye Tian had never met them in person. He had only seen them on the Internet and other media, and he recognized them at a glance.
It must be the same for these people. They also know Ye Tian through the media. Otherwise, they would not call him by his English name, but should call him by his Chinese name.
A few steps forward, Ye Tian greeted with a smile:
"Good morning, Mr. Ma, Mr. Liu, Mr. Li. I didn't expect to meet you here, and I didn't expect you to greet me. I'm so lucky!"
Of course he spoke in Mandarin, his words were clear and full of enthusiasm!
While saying hello, Ye Tian also extended his right hand, ready to shake hands with these people. The etiquette was thoughtful and impeccable!
These people in front of me are all compatriots, so of course we must use Chinese etiquette!
"Good morning, Steven, nice to meet you. Do you know us? It seems we have never met before?"
The collector shook hands with Ye Tian and asked with a little surprise.
"You guys can just call me Ye Tian. Steven's name is just to fool the foreign devils. We are all Chinese, so it's best to call me by a Chinese name. It sounds smooth and comfortable!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, looking very relaxed.
"Hahaha, you're right, the Chinese name still sounds comfortable!"
These few people laughed softly, and the distance and strangeness between them disappeared in an instant in this hearty laughter.
The laughter faded slightly, and Ye Tian continued:
"Of course I do, Mr. Ma, you are a famous collector, how could I not know you? I often watch the treasure appraisal programs you host, and I learned a lot from you! Today I have met the true God!
These two are well-known Internet tycoons in China. They are well-known on the street, so they must get to know each other! Even though I am in the heart of imperialism, I often use your company's network services, which is outstanding!
It's a pity that I don't know this gentleman because I am blind, but it is completely conceivable that you are also a famous domestic entrepreneur or collector! Don’t we know each other now? Nice to meet you! "
This set of words was very smooth, and it came out of Ye Tian's mouth without any stumble.
After listening to these words, the people in front of me immediately felt relaxed, their bodies were transparent and extremely ironed! The smiles on several people's faces became even brighter.
At the same time, they looked at Ye Tian, their eyes full of admiration.
You are so versatile and so good at flattering people!
No wonder this kid is so successful! It’s really not free! It is very different from the legend, and it is even more different from the image described in the American media reports.
This is no fool, a dangerous person, he is clearly a genius!
Then, the unknown man introduced himself. He was a collector from China, but he was not well-known.
Ye Tian also introduced Betty. Betty stepped forward and shook hands with everyone, and then stood quietly beside Ye Tian without saying a word!
For her, Chinese is simply a sacred book, so she can only stand aside and wait!
"Ye Tian, judging from your accent and way of speaking, you should be from the capital, right? Where in the capital?"
Master Ma asked curiously, and the others were equally curious.
This guy is so smooth-talking! It looks like a bunch of strings in an alley!
"You heard that right. I am indeed from Dongcheng, Beijing. I live in Dongsi. You seem to live in Xicheng, right? We are fellow villagers meeting fellow villagers!"
"Hahaha, yes, I live in Xicheng, but I am still a Beijing man! No matter where I go, I can prosper and do something good.
You kid has been playing so much in the United States that you can hear the news in the country. Just the pieces of heavyweight antique art you found have been spread all over the domestic antique shops!
When we were in China, we were still skeptical. Only when we arrived in New York did we realize that the news you made was even more exaggerated and unbelievable than the rumors!
We have read the relevant information of this New York Autumn Auction, and many of the final lots of the special auction were leaked from your hands. It is so enviable! "
"You are so flattering! Those few things I have are nothing! I just got them by chance. How can they be compared with a collector like you? You have countless treasures hidden in your home!"
Ye Tian said with a polite smile, acting very humble.
The man in front of me is a famous collector. He has collected a large number of antiques, including many heavyweight antiques, which are more than enough to open a museum. These things in his own hands are really incomparable.
However, in a few years, as long as you want to collect, it will not be difficult to surpass the person in front of you!
"Ye Tian, I have read the relevant auction announcements and several Sotheby's previews. The antiques and artworks you sent for auction are all top quality. Wouldn't it be a pity to sell them? Why don't you collect them yourself? ? "
Mr. Liu interjected and asked puzzledly.
The same goes for the other people, who don't quite understand Ye Tian's behavior.
If the works of top art masters such as Pollock and Paul Cézanne were in the hands of other collectors, who would be willing to put them up for auction? I will definitely keep it as a treasure!
This guy in front of me is so good. He actually sent them all for photography and didn’t keep any of them. It’s really incomprehensible!
Ye Tian smiled softly and then explained:
"Mr. Liu, I am different from you. I am not a collector, but a professional treasure hunter. Treasure hunting is my business, and those top-notch works of art are my commodities!
That’s why I sent those antique artworks for auction. For now, I have no idea of collecting these antique artworks, but that may change in the future!
There is no treasure hunter profession in China. You may not understand what I am doing. If you know something about this industry, you will not be surprised! "
"It's just you! If it were anyone else, who would be willing to give it up! Those are top-notch works of art worth tens of millions of dollars, which you can only come by but cannot find!"
Master Ma said with emotion, his eyes full of envy, and he seemed to feel a little distressed!
After chatting for a while and seeing that the auction was about to begin, Mr. Ma and the others went over to get their bidding numbers, then found seats and sat down.
Ye Tian took Betty and sat in the same row as these people, on their right.
After sitting down, Ye Tian turned his head and asked curiously in a low voice:
"Master Ma, why did you come to this auction? Are you interested in some antique furniture?"
"Yes, there are some nice pieces of antique furniture in this auction. I am very interested in one of the chairs. If the price is right, I want to get it!"
Master Ma explained in a low voice, not hiding anything.
He knew in his heart that Ye Tian would not become his bidding opponent, there was no threat!
"I have my eye on a project and want to get it. Of course, it also depends on the price. We can't let these foreign devils be slaughtered as fat sheep!
Ye Tian, are your antique furniture also up for auction? Let's take a look. If you like it, we can participate in the bidding. If you don't like it, we can help you raise the price! "
Mr. Li said with a low smile.
“Thank you for your kindness. I do have antique furniture for auction, an American pastoral style desk, and a complete set of furniture from the British royal family in the 19th century.
That set of royal furniture is worth some money. It is Victorian-Renaissance style furniture. It is a favorite thing of foreign devils and does not meet our aesthetic taste! "
Ye Tian smiled and whispered, an understatement!
These words shocked the people around him, and Mr. Ma immediately exclaimed in a low voice:
"The British royal family's furniture actually belongs to you. That's the highlight of this show! It's worth at least several million dollars. You're so awesome!"
"I found that at a warehouse auction in New York. It's a pretty good set of European classical furniture. I made a small profit!"
Ye Tian quickly explained the origin of the set of royal furniture, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
This is just the beginning. In the next few days, you will see more top-notch antique artworks belonging to my buddies. Don’t be surprised!
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged white man came out from behind the auction hall and walked onto the auction stage.
The scene suddenly became quiet and the auction began!
