The auction continued, all the collectors and art dealers on the scene participated, the competition became more and more fierce, and the price was soaring upwards like a rocket!

The asking price quickly exceeded $400 million, and it didn't take even five minutes!

A few people shook their heads and withdrew from the competition, with disappointment and regret on their faces.

Without exception, the exiters are art dealers who come on behalf of their employers.

In contrast, these people are more rational and conservative, and they can't let go.

After all, it's not their own money, and they can't spend it at will!

Of course, some of them only have such a large amount of authority, and the price ceiling given by the employer has been reached, even if they want to continue bidding, there is no such possibility.

This is not the case for the top collectors who are fighting in person.

They can bid as much as they can afford, engage with other competitors in a hand-to-hand battle with bayonets, and compete as best they can for the top work of art in front of them.

"$410 million, Steven!"

Pete raised his arms and shouted loudly, full of confidence and a posture of ambition.

As soon as the words fell, before Ye Tian could quote, someone took the initiative to increase the price.

"$415 million, this "View of Venice" is mine, no one wants to snatch it!"

It was Leon who was shouting the price, this guy was fighting to the point of madness, his eyes were red, and he stared at the oil painting in front of him, and he couldn't see anything else!

"$420 million, I'll take the price!"

As soon as Ye Tian's quotation fell, the art agent of Louis Vuitton boss Bernard answered the price loudly and accepted the price.

Bidding has become increasingly fierce, and prices have continued to soar, and in the blink of an eye, they have exceeded $450 million.

A few more dropped out of the race, both art dealers and top collectors who had personally participated in the fight.

This price has already broken their upper limit and had to withdraw from the auction.

Although they love this top-notch oil painting very much and want to take it into their pockets, when the price breaks through the upper limit set by themselves, they can only regret to withdraw, and they are extremely resolute, without dragging their feet at all!

This is a group of strong-willed and very self-disciplined guys who know how to make trade-offs, and when it's time to let go, they won't hesitate to let go!

If they can't do that, they don't deserve to be successful and super-rich!

The bidding continued, and David and Mattis, who were on the scene, were completely stupid.

Listening to the astronomical quotes, several people have a sense of unreality as if in a dream.

"It's crazy! Aren't these super-rich people crazy to bid four or five billion dollars for an oil painting? Even if it's the best artwork, it's not worth that much money!"

Peake exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes full of madness, and his eyes were about to explode.

"We can't understand the world of the super-rich, but I'm sure these guys have definitely not lost their minds, don't look at them as if they are red-eyed, but I'm sure everyone is very clear-headed!

Collecting art is also an investment for them, and the rate of return is extremely high! no matter what they pay today, they will definitely get it back in the future, and they will make a lot of money!

If this oil painting is sold for $500 million, then this is its market price, and if it appears on the market in the future, the price will only be higher, not lower than that!

If Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" or Raphael's "Sistine Madonna" were auctioned today, the scene would definitely be even more popular! There is no problem with the hammer price exceeding $1 billion!"

David sighed with emotion, and his eyes were full of envy.

As he spoke, the price had soared to $480 million, an astronomical figure never seen before in the art trade.

The contenders were reduced again, and only four remained.

Pitt from New York, Leon from Miami, art dealer for Bernard, the richest man in France, and Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico.

These are all super predators in the field of antique art collection, they are all super rich, and what they don't lack in their pockets is money, everything!

Pete just offered $480 million, now it's $485 million, $485 million, who's going to pay for it? Leon Marquez or Howard?

Gentlemen, this is Titian's peak work, and its artistic value is no less than that of the Gardner Museum in Boston, "The Robbery of Europa", which is definitely not to be missed!"

Ye Tian's voice came clearly into everyone's ears again, still full of passion, trying his best to bewitch the remaining four competitors.

This demagogy obviously worked, making the atmosphere of the scene even more hot!

Leon raised his arm, and he didn't forget to attack Ye Tian while responding to the price.

"$485 million, I'll take it! Steven, I can see that you greedy guy is going to empty our wallets today!

"That's right, this kid is indeed too ruthless, greedy to the point of frightening!"

Norman, who withdrew from the competition, echoed the suspicion of adding fuel to the fire.

Regarding their complaints, Ye Tian immediately responded with a smile:

"Leon, if you can make it to the end, beat the other competitors, and succeed in winning this top oil painting, then I'm pretty sure you'll thank me!

This "Venetian View" will not only make you feel the charm of a top-notch artwork, but also bring you great reputation and a lot of money, there is no doubt about it!

As for Norman, you've already withdrawn from the competition, and you're still attacking me personally, isn't that a bit unkind?

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter.

Everyone was amused, invisibly diluting the smell of gunpowder in the air.

Before the laughter fell, Ye Tian's passionate voice sounded again.

"Leon is worth $485 million, worthy of being a super-rich man in Palm Beach, very generous! The current price is $490 million, 490 million, and that gentleman came out to make the offer?

Gentlemen, it's your turn to show your muscles and strength, but don't admit it at this time, stick to it, and the victory will probably belong to you!"

Hearing these demagogic words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but chuckle again, and many people gave Ye Tian a thumbs up!

In front of them, they can't help but admire!

You've participated in countless auctions, and who the hell has ever seen such a guy who does everything he can, and that mouth can literally bring a dead person to life!

In the face of the latest offer, the remaining competitors hesitated a little, and their faces became solemn.

Howard, the art agent of Bernard, the richest man in France, and Marquez, the art agent of Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico, each took a few steps back with their mobile phones and began to communicate with their employers!

Pete was also lost in thought, and did not immediately raise his hand to respond.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately slowed down the pace of the offer and waited for these bidders to make a decision.

Leon, who had just quoted $485 million, could only stare at him in annoyance, and raised his middle finger directly at Ye Tian.

It didn't take long for the remaining three contenders to make their decision.

Márquez shrugged his shoulders regretfully, made a throat-slitting gesture, and announced his withdrawal from the competition!

Pete and Howard remained among the bidders, and Howard quickly raised his hand to accept the $490 million offer.

The bidding continues! It is not yet known who will kill the deer!

Now it's all about hand-to-heart, the auction is going on faster and the competition is getting fiercer!

After a few more rounds, the price successfully broke through the $500 million mark.

After breaking through $500 million, every time the price quoted on the scene should be answered, there will be an exclamation.

And Ye Tian, who presided over the auction, had the brightest smile, and his mouth was about to crack to the back of his head!

"$520 million, Leon, Pitt, who of you will pay the price? This is the backyard of the United States! Don't let the French take this top painting! It's up to you!"

Ye Tian looked at the two super-rich Americans and continued to bewitch them jokingly, with a very relaxed expression.

The moment the offer exceeded $500 million, he completely relaxed and began to enjoy the auction to the fullest.

There will be more exciting moments later, and that is when the hammer is dropped, and when the transaction contract is signed and the bank transfer is made.

Then, it's time to celebrate!

"Don't fool me, Steven, don't take a penny out of my pocket!

Pete shook his head and announced his withdrawal from the competition.

Although he seems relaxed and joking on the surface, his eyes are full of disappointment and regret.

Anyone will regret it!

Pete, who Ye Tianchong withdrew from the competition, nodded, then turned to Leon and said with a smile:

"What about you, Leon, will you take this price? I'm pretty sure that your personal exhibition hall lacks such a top-notch work of art, and now it's in front of you, and you can't miss it!"

After pondering for a while, Leon gritted his back molars and made this offer.

"Okay! $520 million, I accept!"

As soon as his words fell, before Ye Tian could open his mouth, Howard's voice trembled with excitement in everyone's ears.

"$530 million, Steven, this is Mr. Bernard's bid!"

The offer came so quickly that people didn't have time to react.

Everyone was still in the shock of $520 million, and before they had time to sigh, the new offer had already been shouted, and it had risen by $10 million!

It can be seen from this that Bernard, the richest man in France, who is far away in Paris, is determined to win this top oil painting!

"Hiss——!"

There was a gasp at the scene, and everyone was shocked.

"Wow! 530 million US dollars, the French are really persistent in their pursuit of art, and they deserve to be a romantic nation!

Ye Tian exclaimed, and then complimented Bernard, who cares if he can hear it or not!

Immediately afterward, he looked at Leon and waited for his response.

This time, Leon didn't hesitate any longer, shook his head with a wry smile, and announced that he would withdraw from the competition, his expression was very lost, and his eyes were full of regret!

It can be over! The result is so perfect that I dare not hope for more!

"$535 million, gentlemen, is there anyone else to ask?......"

Ye Tian asked loudly, his gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone in the suite.

No one responded, and everyone shook their heads.

"$530 million, sold! This "View of Venice" was bought by Mr. Bernard from far away in France, congratulations to Mr. Bernard!

Ye Tian raised his hand and pointed to Howard's location, and excitedly announced the transaction loudly, ending this shocking auction.

The moment the hammer fell, this luxurious suite immediately boiled completely.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause rang out wildly, and it was extremely enthusiastic.

The stormy applause was like a hurricane, directly sweeping the entire luxury suite.
