Two Sotheby's staff members emerged from the makeshift vault, carrying Paul Cézanne's oil painting Mont Sainte-Victoire, and walked slowly and cautiously to the auction stand and towards the display shelf.

Behind the two of them, an FBI armed agent and a Sotheby's armed security guard followed suit, on high alert, protecting the top-notch painting.

The rest of the security personnel in the auction hall had also received the order, and instantly raised the alert level to the highest level, vigilantly staring at the oil paintings on the auction table, staring at the many buyers on the scene, ready to respond at any time.

The big screen began to display the pictures of this top-level oil painting simultaneously, as well as the creation year, creative background, size, painting techniques, related comments and other relevant information, which are very detailed and without any omission.

At the same time, the big screen also introduced Paul Cézanne.

The words 'Father of Modern Painting' on the screen are so striking that they radiate a dazzling light that makes people almost unable to open their eyes!

The scene was unusually quiet, there was hardly any sound!

Everyone looked at the painting with bated breath, and they didn't dare to come out, lest they disturb the staff and cause this top-notch oil painting to fall to the ground and suffer undue damage.

In the blink of an eye, two staff members placed this top-notch oil painting on the display shelf for everyone to enjoy.

The two armed security guards who followed had also stood on both sides of the display shelf to protect this top-notch oil painting at close range.

"Whew!"

Everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Immediately after, everyone in the auction hall stood up.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause rang out suddenly, lasting and enthusiastic, resounding throughout the auction hall.

Listening to these enthusiastic applause in his ears and looking at the excited expressions of the people, Ye Tian's mood was naturally extremely happy, and it was extremely refreshing!

This is an oil painting that belongs to buddies, the top artwork!

After the applause fell, everyone sat down and began to concentrate on admiring the top oil painting on the stage.

"It's so beautiful! It is worthy of being a top art master, whether it is the use of color, the layout of the picture, etc., all the details are impeccable, it is definitely the top work of art!"

"The change of color is like a symphony, rich and harmonious, there is no doubt about it! This is Paul Cézanne! This is the pinnacle of Post-Impressionism! It is much better than the previous auctions!"

While intoxicated with appreciating this famous painting, many people are already gearing up, staring at this famous painting on the stage, their eyes are extremely hot, just waiting for the auction to start and start fighting!

As soon as John's voice sounded on the auction table, a war without gunsmoke, but incomparably fierce, would immediately begin, and whoever won in the end would have to pay a huge price!

However, now these competitors have only "Mont Sainte-Victoire" in their eyes, and the dollar is probably the least important thing!

"Steven, these guys look like they're going crazy, you're going to make a lot of money today, maybe this painting will set an auction record!"

Jason turned his head to look at the situation in the auction hall and said with emotion.

"Hahaha, the crazier they behave, the more competitive they will be, so that the buddies can earn more, but it is difficult to set an auction record with this "Mont Saint-Victoire".

Although this oil painting is a masterpiece of Cézanne's later years and is a concentrated embodiment of his artistic thoughts, he painted Mont Saint-Victoire for 20 years, and there are too many oil paintings on the same subject, which will inevitably affect the value.

Even so, as Paul Cézanne's masterpiece, the auction price of this oil painting is definitely not that low, and I estimate that this oil painting should have no problem selling for 150 million dollars!"

Ye Tian smiled and whispered, his face was sunny.

"Wow! $150 million! It's incredible, let's wait and see!"

Jason exclaimed, his eyes flashing with crazy colors.

At the end of the short presentation time, John's passionate voice once again resounded throughout the auction hall and clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the highlight of the day is the auction of one of Paul Cézanne's masterpieces, Mont Saint-Victoire.

This is one of the finest works of art in the world today, and it will be the honor of my life to be able to host such a top-notch auction of such a top artwork!

Here, I would like to thank the discoverer and owner of this painting, Mr. Steven, for discovering this masterpiece of art and for choosing Sotheby's!"

As he spoke, John stretched out his hand and gestured towards Ye Tian's position.

Ye Tian was also very cooperative, smiled at John and nodded, then immediately stood up and turned around, waving at everyone in the auction hall, with a bright smile on his face!

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause rang out again, still very enthusiastic.

Along with the applause, there were many cheers.

"Steven, that's a great job!"

"Man, thank you, for allowing us to see this top-notch work of art!"

Although many people didn't want to, they had to applaud and cheer for Ye Tian.

It was Steven who brought these two top oil paintings back to the light of day, re-blooming their artistic brilliance and allowing the world to admire!

It is this extremely lucky boy who has given himself the opportunity to get the top artwork, and he should give this kid warm applause and cheers!

While applauding and cheering, the eyes of everyone in the auction hall were also full of envy, and their eyes were a little red!

Steven, this bastard must be the luckiest man in the world to find two top-notch paintings in his apartment, why wasn't that person me? Why didn't I have that good fortune?

God is so fucking unfair! All good things seem to belong to Steven, the bastard!

Of course, there were not only envious and jealous eyes in the auction hall, but also an extremely resentful look, staring at Ye Tian deadly, his eyes were blood-red, and his eyes were about to burst!

Needless to say, this look must have come from Bastian.

At this moment, his heart is dripping blood wildly!

And his brothers and sisters who are far away in Paris are in the same situation, they are all staring at Ye Tian on the computer screen, gritting their teeth with hatred, but they are helpless!

After greeting everyone, Ye Tian turned around and sat down, waiting for the bidding to start with a relaxed expression.

John's loud voice came again, unusually clear!

His whole person was passionate and energetic at this time, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Sotheby's has done the most rigorous and scientific appraisal of this painting, and it is absolutely certain that it is the original work of Paul Cézanne, created around 1890.

Mont Saint-Victoire is a landscape near Paul Cézanne's hometown of Aix, a theme that Paul Cézanne has been exploring tirelessly for almost 20 years, leaving behind many variations of the same subject.

This work is the masterpiece of Paul Cézanne in his later years, and it is also the concentrated embodiment of his artistic thoughts, which has a very important position in the history of painting, and its artistic value is extraordinary, and it is the top work of art!

The scenery in the painting floats in the color, and the relationship between distance and space of the scenery is completely replaced by geometric shapes, like a symphonic poem with rich layers and harmony, perfect and incomparable!

"Mont Sainte-Victoire" starts at $40 million, with a minimum increase of $1 million, and the bidding starts now, $40 million, $40 million, what lady or gentleman should offer?"

At the same time as the bidding was loudly applied, John's eyes were already like eagle eyes, and he began to patrol the entire auction hall, which was extremely bright and sharp!

The rest of the auction support staff are also patrolling the auction site, ready to remind John at any time in case the offer is missed!

At this time, each of them was extremely excited, and their eyes were shining!

How many times can you meet this kind of top-notch art auction?

Before John's voice fell, the entire auction hall was already frying!

"Oh my God! $40 million! That's an exaggeration! He's the craziest guy in New York, and Steven, this bastard is so ruthless!"

"There is no doubt that this is the highest starting price since the start of this year's autumn auctions! I am convinced that Bastard Steven, his hands are too dark! This is an attempt to empty the pockets of the bidders! It's a ransack!"

"$40 million starting at auction! As you can imagine, Steven's reserve price is at least $60 million, and the transaction price of more than $100 million is almost certain, and today we are going to witness a miracle!"

While exclaiming and discussing, everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Tian, who was sitting in the front row with a relaxed expression, and everyone's eyes were full of shock and envy!

Although this starting price is extremely high, for really powerful buyers, they don't care about it at all, and no one thinks that they can successfully auction this famous painting at this price.

"$45 million, John!"

Someone shouted and held up the bidding number plate.

The price was raised sharply for the first time, and it was as high as $5 million!

The auction hall boiled again, and everyone turned their heads to look at where the sound came from.

Ye Tian was no exception, turning his head and looking back.

I don't know if it's that buddy?

The fiercest battle begins!
