Chapter 427: Sky-high Antique Furniture (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)

"Ladies and gentlemen, this set of Renaissance art royal furniture from London, England, from 1860, originally belonged to the Baron of Notting Hill, is now up for auction.

The starting bid is $2.8 million, and the minimum bid increase must not be less than $100,000, and the bidding starts, $2.8 million, $2.8 million, and that lady or gentleman should offer?"

Brad's voice was unusually loud and passionate!

Many European and American bidders in the audience have long been impatient, waiting for this moment!

Before the words fell, someone immediately raised the bidding number plate and shouted:

"Brad, $3 million, I want this set of royal furniture!"

The bidder who raised the sign was a white old man in his fifties, with a big waist and a round waist, who was very imposing and looked determined to win.

While bidding, he always stared at the pictures of antique furniture on the big screen, stared at the auctioneer, his eyes were unusually bright, full of eagerness, and he couldn't wait for Brad to drop the hammer immediately!

But this is just the beginning, how can he get his wish? Even if others don't object, Ye Tian can't agree!

"No. 153, Mr. Keynes of Toronto asked for $3 million, and now it's $3.2 million, $3.2 million, does anyone have a price? This is antique furniture from the British royal family, don't miss it!"

Brad raised his hand and gestured, and quickly quoted a new price.

At the same time, his eyes are quickly scanning the floor to spot new bidders.

"$3.8 million, Brad"

The voice came from the entrance of the auction hall, still a white buyer, about forty or fifty years old!

This one raised the price sharply as soon as he made a move, and directly raised $600,000 on the basis of the offer, which can be called a big deal, and it is obviously strong!

After quoting the price, this one did not stop, but joked with the one who had quoted before.

"Keynes, you'd better rest! Since this set of royal furniture appeared in New York, it is a treasure belonging to the United States, and it is impossible for you to get your hands on it and take it to Canada!"

The two obviously know each other, and the relationship is okay, and they can make some innocuous jokes!

It's no surprise that they know that for many antique collectors in the United States and Canada, New York is their main battleground!

The more people see each other, the more they get to know each other, and some people can even get to know each other and become business partners or good friends!

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, which slightly defused the tense atmosphere.

In the midst of the laughter, there were also a lot of echoing voices.

"Man, that's right, since this top-of-the-line antique furniture appeared in the United States, it should stay here, and it must not be bought by these Canadian guys!"

"Don't worry, guys, I'll leave this royal furniture in America, in New York, and use it to furnish my villa on Long Island!"

Keynes, who was sitting in the front row, stood up, turned his head and smiled in the direction of the entrance of the auction hall:

"Monroe, you're a rude bastard! Do you know how to appreciate Renaissance art? You bastard is only worthy of riding a horse and herding cows, don't spoil it!"

"Hahaha"

There was another burst of laughter in the auction hall.

Immediately after, Brad's passionate voice came again, muffling out laughter with the help of a speaker.

"On the 209th, Mr. Monroe from Montana asked for $3.8 million, and now it's $4.1 million, $4.1 million, who's going to take that price?"

Before he could finish speaking, a Sotheby's staff member held up the bidding number plate.

It was a telephone bidding and another buyer began to compete.

This is also a very generous shot, and he has come up with a big price increase, trying to show his determination to win by this means, and deter or repel the rest of the competitors.

"$5 million!"

The voices of the Sotheby's staff resounded throughout the audience, and everyone heard it very clearly.

"Wow! Where is this buyer from! That's crazy!"

There was an exclamation at the scene, and this kind of generosity shocked many people!

In particular, many buyers from China were even more dumbfounded.

Classic Chinese antique furniture is not cheap, tens of millions of dollars of home furnishings are, but tens of millions of dollars are very few, it can be said that they are rare!

The reason for this is mainly because many of the Chinese furniture that has been handed down are not complete, most of them are one or two pieces, and it is very rare to have more than four pieces.

In addition, due to many turmoil in history, the identity and origin of most Chinese antique furniture, as well as inheritance information, are not well documented, which invisibly lowers the value of these furniture.

And the set of British royal furniture in front of me does not have these problems, they are not only well preserved, but also appear in a complete set, not missing a piece!

What's more, this set of furniture has been inherited in an orderly and well-documented manner.

This will undoubtedly greatly increase its value, making this set of furniture a hot target, and many European and American collectors are crazy to chase after it, and they are willing to donate generously to it!

With the current hot competitive atmosphere, it is a sure thing that this set of antique furniture will fetch more than $10 million! It may even fetch an even more jaw-dropping price!

Faced with such a set of antique furniture that looks like more than 10 million US dollars, everyone is naturally shocked.

At the same time, some buyers who know about this set of antique furniture, looking at Ye Tian who is smiling in the crowd, are even more envious, and they can't replace it!

Even collectors like Ma Ye were shocked by the hot bidding scene in the auction hall, and said to Ye Tian incredibly:

"You kid is really good! I found such a complete set of antique furniture, it seems that your kid is going to release the satellite today, and maybe he can set a record for this year's antique furniture auction!"

"I borrow your auspicious words! Ma Ye, if I can win this year's antique furniture auction record, it will be great, but I want to win the antique furniture auction record in history, I don't know if there is a play?"

Ye Tian said with a smile, showing his ambition by the way.

"Hahaha, the all-time auction record for antique furniture! You kid really dare to think about it! I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue! I'll tell you the truth, it's no fun at all!

Your British royal furniture will not exceed $25 million in the sky, and it is still far from the record of $36 million!

Ma Ye whispered angrily, shattering Ye Tian's unrealistic illusions.

"The 'Banderminton' cabinet is just a cabinet, and it can fetch a whopping $36 million, dude, this is a whole set of 32 pieces of royal furniture!

Ye Tian whispered disdainfully, with a bit of resentment in his tone.

"The auction record for the 'Benderminton' cabinet was set in 2004, and if it were to be auctioned now, it would be possible for that cabinet to fetch $300 million!

If you kid can put the president of the United States or the queen of England at auction that day, you will definitely set a new record! Now, you kid can enjoy what you are doing!"

Ma Ye made a joke, and then turned his head to look at the auction table.

"You're right! Let's enjoy what you're getting! Look at how many dollars these crazy foreign devils will eventually contribute to their buddies!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, his face full of color!

The auction price of royal furniture continues to soar upward, reaching $12 million, a full double the reserve price, and shows no signs of stopping!

For this price, Ye Tian is already very satisfied.

But who is afraid that money is too hot? Naturally, the more the better.

"Number 47 is $13 million, it's a beautiful lady, now it's $13.5 million, $13.5 million, that lady or gentleman is asking?

OK!175 is a bidding from the Internet, the latest price is $14 million, $14 million, who will take this price?"

Brad's voice was still full of passion, still as fast as a machine gun! Again and again, he shouted new prices, constantly helping Ye Tian harvest dollars.
