Chapter 434: A Miracle Is Happening (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)

The bidder was an old acquaintance, Allen, the head of Impressionist oil painting at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and a well-known buyer in the New York art auction market.

Seeing that it was him, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded, thanking the other party for his support.

Alan also smiled in response, polite and confident.

Apparently, MOMA was interested in this painting of Mont Sainte-Victoire and wanted to take it into his pocket.

It's a top-notch work of art, and the museum isn't interested?

"OK! No. 59 is asking for $45 million, it's Mr. Allen from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the current price is $46 million, 46 million, is there anyone who should make the bid?"

John stretched out his hand and gestured to where Alan was, and continued to make a passionate and loud offer, the voice echoing in every corner of the auction hall with extraordinary clarity.

"$50 million, John"

Another person raised a sign and shouted a bid, which came from a telephone bidding.

"There is a mysterious buyer bidding on the other side of the phone, No. 152, asking for $50 million, and the current price is $52 million, $52 million, who will take this price?"

John's voice barely paused, blasting the eardrums of everyone in the auction hall like a cannon.

At the same time, he also made a quick gesture towards the phone bidder.

"Oh my God! In just two rounds, it has already soared to $10 million, which is incredible! I'm afraid that something big will happen today that will shake the entire art collecting world!"

"The rate at which prices are soaring is terrifying! $10 million! That's a level that many artists dream of, but will never be able to reach!

But for Paul Cézanne, it was just two rounds of bidding!

Exclamations rang out throughout the auction hall.

Not only were many bidders and onlookers shocked, but even Ye Tian was extremely surprised, and his heartbeat began to accelerate suddenly!

The speed at which prices are soaring is a bit exaggerated!

And that's just the beginning, the Qatari royal family, several famous billionaires and top collectors are not yet in the fray!

When they raise their cards to participate in the competition, the battle really begins, and the scene must be extremely fierce!

For Ye Tian, that scene was incomparably beautiful and incomparably desirable! Just thinking about it made people tremble and make a mess!

And Jason, who was sitting next to him, was already dumbfounded at this time, muttering to himself.

"Are they talking about dollars? It's too mysterious! These guys must be shouting out another currency! I'm pretty sure!"

"Hahaha, man, wake up! You heard me right, they're shouting another currency, another currency called the dollar!"

Ye Tian said with a low chuckle, making Jason laugh.

As he spoke, two more rounds of bidding passed, and the price soared to $58 million.

Someone in the hall held up the bidding number plate again!

It was an old friend from Paris, France, Bastian of the Pierre family.

While holding up the bidding card, he also stared at the back of Ye Tian's head with great anger, his eyes were blood-red, and he was about to burst into flames with hatred!

At this point, he really wanted to rush forward and shoot that bastard in the back of the head, completely smashing that head and sending that damn bastard straight to hell!

Only then can you get rid of your hatred and make up for the huge loss of your family!

But this idea can only be thought about, it is impossible to achieve it at all, and ten of them tied together are not the opponents of that bastard, and they are looking for death if they go up!

That's a ruthless bastard who treats human life like a mustard!

Although he accepted the offer of $58 million, Bastian knew very well that at this terrifying rate of price spike, he would never be able to shoot this oil painting, and there was no hope at all!

This trip to the United States is destined to run in vain, and those two top oil paintings are also destined to be lost with the Pierre family!

A huge fortune passed in front of his family's eyes and fell into the hands of that bastard Steven, and he will never be recovered!

Thinking of this, Bastian suddenly felt extremely painful, as if he was in hell!

His hatred for Ye Tian was also like the price of this oil painting, which kept soaring and becoming deeper! And the eyes he looked at Ye Tian became even more resentful!

The $58 million was breached in the blink of an eye, and John's voice continued to echo through the auction hall without stopping.

"The price on the 16th is Mr. Lewis from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the current price is $62 million, $62 million, which is the top art!

"$65,000,000, old John, this Paul Cézanne will be mine!"

A well-known American billionaire shouted the bid, and at the same time raised the bidding number plate in his hand, with great momentum, a posture of ambition.

This is not only a billionaire, but also a very famous art collector, a regular at the world's top auctions, and is known as the 'acquirer'!

Edvard Munch's $120 million "The Scream" is in the hands of this buddy, and it seems that today he is ready to show his strength again and add another top collection to himself!

He knew John, the auctioneer, and many famous collectors in the hall, so everyone naturally knew him, including Ye Tian.

Seeing that it was him who asked for $65 million, there was immediately a discussion at the scene.

"Leon has made a move! This is the real auction house! Needless to say, this oil painting will soon exceed $100 million, making it one of the most expensive works of art!"

"The war has begun! I don't know who the next predator will be? Qatari royal family? Pete Brandt or Carlos's artistic advisor? Whoever it is, he's a very strong guy!"

While the discussion was being made, many bidders who wanted to take pictures of this oil painting had already seen disappointment and frustration in their eyes!

The intervention of a top collector like Leon instantly shattered the hopes of many people!

At this moment, they all know very well that the top artwork on the auction table has no chance of being with them!

While there is still time, let's take a second look!

If you want to see this top artwork in person in the future, God knows when, maybe you will never have the opportunity again!

Unlike most people's depressed mood, Ye Tian and Jason were very excited at this time.

"Wow! It's more than $65 million! And it's the price that the 'acquirer' Leon called, it's amazing!"

"The fiercest competition has just begun, all auction predators, since you are here, don't miss such a godsend!

While the two were talking in a low voice, on the other side of the seat in the same row as them, Prince Hassan and Princess Mayasa of the Qatari royal family were also talking in a low voice, ready to make a move.

"Leon has jumped out, it's time for us to step in, Hassan, make a $75 million offer! Put a little pressure on Leon and the other guys, and show our resolve!"

Princess Mayasa gave a command in a low voice, her expression quite relaxed.

Her tone was understated, as if it wasn't $75 million, just a set of meaningless numbers, and she didn't have to care!

No way! Even though people have oil under their feet!

"Okay, I'll make a bid!"

Hassan replied in a deep voice, picked up the bidding number plate and prepared to bid.

However, he was one step too late!

"$75 million, John!"

The voice came from the phone bidding side, and someone shouted the price before Hassan.

"Hiss——!"

There was a gasp in the auction hall, and everyone was shocked!

It seems that in addition to these auction predators on the spot, telephone bidding and online bidding are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many masters!

I wonder if it will be Abu, who has always been fond of Impressionist art, or the Chinese super-rich who have emerged in recent years?

Whoever it is, it's definitely a super predator, no doubt about it!

"No. 129 offers $75 million, is a mystery buyer from a telephone auction, and now the price is $78 million, $78 million, and that lady or gentleman bids $78 million?......"

John's passionate voice came again, still fast and unusually loud.

"For $80 million, this top painting by Paul Cézanne belongs to the Qatari royal family, there is no doubt about it!"

Prince Hassan's voice resounded throughout the auction hall with a hint of annoyance.

Obviously, he was held back by the phone bidder just now, and he was a little depressed!

So far, this top-notch artwork still belongs to buddies, this is beyond doubt! Ye Tian muttered a few words to himself.

However, he didn't mind Prince Hassan's inappropriate words, who would let the family be the financier of the money!

"$85 million, John"

Again, someone raised a sign to ask for a price.

At the same time, this one also stood up, smiled and said to Prince Hassan:

"Princess Mayasha, Prince Hassan, I'm sorry, Mr. Carlos also likes this top-notch oil painting very much, and wants to take it into his pocket, so I'm going to compete with you!"

"Well, then, let's play fair, the highest price wins!"

Princess Mayasa smiled and nodded, acting very ladylike.

Seeing the Hispanic standing up, an exclamation suddenly rang out in the auction hall again.

"Wow! That's Carlos Slam's art collector, the former richest man in the world has made a move, and the competition is getting fiercer!"

"Is this Mont Sainte-Victoire going to set a world record for art auctions? It's crazy! It's a really wonderful show!"

When people were talking, Ye Tian was waving his fists in celebration.

"Great! Carlos Slam is bidding, and if Bernard of France were to compete, the auction would be perfect, and it would definitely set an unprecedented record!"

"Then maybe! The mystery buyer over there could be Bernard or Abu! The richest collectors in the world are almost there!"

Jason went on to say, this kid was already dancing with excitement, almost crazy!

"The 66th offer is $85 million, from Mr. Carlos Slam's collection consultant, and the current price is $88 million, $88 million, does anyone have the price?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best work of art in the world today, and it is impossible to find it! It must not be missed! This is your war, and you must not lose here!"

John said excitedly and loudly, and he was about to fly with excitement!

Although he is the highest-level white-glove auctioneer in the field of art auctions, he has not encountered this situation a few times, can he not be excited?

He knew very well that today's 'Impressionist & Modern Art' sale would be a landmark auction that would shake up the entire art collecting market.

As the auctioneer of this special auction, today will definitely be the highlight of his career, and it is definitely worth remembering forever!

"$90 million!

Prince Hassan's voice sounded again, extremely determined and confident!

A miracle is happening! Everyone is very sure!
