Chapter 1047 A Perfect Day
"Here, 8105 million dollars"
Someone at the scene raised the bidding number plate again, and new offers followed.
"OK! Buyer No. 15 is offering $810.5 million, and Mr. Beale's art dealer is now selling for $820 million, $820 million, who will take the price?"
Jefferson, the auctioneer, raised his hand and pointed to the audience, shouting excitedly.
Immediately afterward, his gaze quickly swept over the remaining contenders, observing their reactions, expecting someone to raise the bidding plate again to keep the competition going.
As for the other people at the auction site, they are no longer the target of his attention, and they are completely negligible.
A Sotheby's staff member on the other side of the online bidding area raised his hand to make a throat-cutting salute on behalf of his customer, announcing that he had withdrawn from the competition.
The remaining contenders are all in this auction hall.
This means that "The Creation of Adam" will inevitably fall into the hands of a buyer on the scene, and become a treasure in the collection of someone or a museum in full view.
There was almost no pause, and another bidding plate was held high, taking the price of $820 million.
"Buyer No. 33 is $820 million, is Mr. Carlos's art agent, and now the price is $825 million, $825 million, and that gentleman is asking?"
Jefferson shouted, still passionate.
"Eight hundred and thirty million dollars, Jefferson"
"Jefferson, Here"
"Eighty-four and five million dollars!"
The bidding plates in the hands of the remaining competitors kept rising and falling, and the sound of quotations continued to come out of their mouths, shaking the entire auction hall.
In the blink of an eye, the price of "The Creation of Adam" has exceeded $85 million.
Two more buyers withdrew from the competition, namely Ryan, the richest man in the United Kingdom, and Warren Buffett.
Obviously, these two super-rich people do not have no money in their pockets, but that this price point has broken through the predetermined upper limit of the offer, and they can only choose to withdraw.
The contenders shrank again, leaving only two super-rich and two of America's most famous museums.
They are Bill Gates, the richest man in the United States, Carlos, the richest man in Mexico, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and MOMA.
At this point, the auction is not as fast as before, everyone is thinking about it for longer and longer, and the auction is becoming more and more cautious!
No one's money is blown by the wind! Even if the world's richest man like Bill Gates, $8 or 9 billion is a huge amount of wealth, and we must carefully consider how to use it.
"$860 million, Jefferson"
Julian held up the bidding plate again and quoted a new price, his tone very firm, with a posture of imperativeness.
As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and said jokingly:
"Well done, Julian, that's resolute! I like you like this, you have the demeanor of a general, that's what a MOMA curator should do."
"Hurry up, Steven, I'm gritting my teeth and insisting, maybe I'll lose the next second and pass by this Michelangelo's pinnacle!"
Julian turned his head and glanced at Ye Tian, and said angrily.
"Don't mind! It's all going to be here, what a pity to give up! A few more rounds, maybe MOMA will be the final winner, and successfully win this "Creation of Adam" and return triumphantly."
"Let's hope so! We're all about to smash our house into it, and if we can't get this Michelangelo, we have no choice but to watch it fall into the hands of someone else!"
"With the famous Rockefeller family behind it, will MOMA still be short of money? I'm sure you'll have the last laugh!"
"The Rockefeller family did provide us with some financial support, but the money used to acquire Creation Adam was more of our museum's own funds.
If we succeed in winning this painting, we will all have to tighten our belts for the next few years, and we will have to wait years to buy the art in a big way!"
"Forget it! Who believes this! Not counting tickets, MOMA can sell hundreds of millions of dollars of cultural and creative products every year, right? There are also various forms of exhibitions, which are also a lot of money!
What's more, you have a myriad of top-notch modern and modern artworks, and how easy it is to throw out a few pieces of art in stock and you'll have a lot of dollars coming in!"
Ye Tian said jokingly, teasing Julian and being very relaxed.
At the same time, the offer of "The Creation of Adam" is also constantly refreshing, and in the blink of an eye, it is approaching $900 million.
“...... The current price is 895 million dollars, 895 million dollars, and that gentleman will take this price? Victory is at hand, don't miss this priceless treasure!"
Jefferson's passionate voice kept coming from the stage and resounded throughout the auction hall.
His eyes were fixed on the remaining four contenders, his gaze burning and his eyes full of anticipation, expecting the miracle to continue.
However, the remaining four contenders did not respond immediately.
Two art agents are on the phone, communicating with their bosses on the phone, before they can decide whether to make a bid or not, and continue the fight!
Julian and the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, on the other hand, were thinking and discussing in low voices with the people around them to decide the next course of action, their expressions very solemn.
Soon, the four made a decision.
Carlos's art dealer shook his head at Jefferson and announced that he would withdraw from the competition, regretfully and extremely disappointed.
A huge commission slipped through his hand and disappeared, can he not be lost? It is estimated that his heart is dripping blood!
The other three are still in the competition and ready to continue fighting.
At the same time that Márquez announced that he was withdrawing from the competition, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art held up the bidding number plate in his hand and accepted the offer of $895 million.
However, it can be seen from his slightly trembling arms and constipated expression that this one is almost unable to hold on, and it is estimated that he will soon be defeated.
Sure enough, it turned out to be as everyone expected.
When Julian pushed the offer to $910 million, the Metropolitan curator shook his head bitterly and announced that he was out of the race and reduced to a bystander.
At this point, this competition has turned into a duel between two people, a face-to-face fight.
“...... The current offer is $915 million, $915 million, is Mr. Bill Gates willing to take that price?"
As Jefferson made a loud offer, he stared at Bill Gates' art dealer and saw no one else in sight.
"OK!
While nodding his head to the price, Bill Gates' art dealer once again raised the bidding number plate.
Before the bidding plate in his hand fell, Julian had already raised the sign in his hand and shouted:
"Nine hundred and thirty million dollars, today we at MOMA must win this "Creation of Adam", no matter what costs!"
"Wow! Julian can't be crazy, right? It's all like this, and he dares to raise the price so much!
There was an exclamation at the scene, and everyone was frightened.
Then people turned to Bill Gates' art dealer to see how he would react.
At this time, the art dealer was reporting the situation over the phone and asking his employer to make a decision.
In the blink of an eye, the decision was made.
The art dealer first raised his right hand and made a throat cut, announcing his withdrawal from the competition on behalf of his employer!
Then, he turned to look at Julian again, and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Julian, you have won, this Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" belongs to you MOMA, congratulations!"
Before the words fell, the MOMA group, led by Julian, had already jumped up from their seats like an electric shock and began to celebrate wildly.
"Great! Finally won this treasure, we MOMA also have the pinnacle of the three masters after the Renaissance, this is the real treasure of the town!"
"Wow! It was a perfect day to remember!"
That's right!
Ye Tian, who was not far away, had an incomparably bright smile on his face.
