12 a.m., Sotheby's Auction Hall.

Today's 'European Classical Art Auction' is coming to an end, and the auction hall is still full of people!

Regardless of whether there is a harvest or not, none of the many buyers on the scene left early, not only that, but many people are rushing here, hurrying and very excited.

After the previous rounds of competition and brewing, the atmosphere in the auction hall has become more and more hot, and has gradually reached the highest point!

Everyone at the scene was extremely excited, staring intently at the auctioneer in front of them and at the big screen at the scene, their eyes full of anticipation.

At the same time, the smell of gunpowder in the air is getting stronger and stronger, and many buyers are gearing up for a battle that is destined to be extremely fierce.

Ye Tian and Betty, who were sitting in the middle of the first row, were also very excited, but compared to the others on the scene, they were much more relaxed, talking and laughing!

"Steven, can you get to the bottom of what is the auction reserve price you set for this 'Creation of Adam'? With your style of doing things, there must be an auction reserve price.

MOMA is not a super-rich man like you, and if you set a reserve price that is too high and exceeds our budget, then we don't have to compete so as not to be embarrassed!"

Julian, who was sitting next to him, asked, this is the curator of MOMA, Ye Tian's old friend.

The reason why he appeared here was naturally for Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", wanting to win this top work of art and add one of the most important treasures to MOMA!

Not only him, but most of the buyers in this auction hall came for this Michelangelo painting.

Even if some buyers simply don't have the strength to compete for this priceless treasure, they are here and ready to participate in this competition!

They all hope for a miracle to happen, and they hope that they are the super lucky ones who get this priceless treasure!

Because of this pinnacle of Michelangelo's work, the classicist paintings, which have gradually been neglected over the years, have once again attracted people's attention.

Naturally, this auction has also become the most popular and high-profile European classical art auction in recent years, and has become the focus of attention in the field of antique art collection and many media!

Ye Tian turned his head to look at Julian, shook his head with a chuckle and said:

"You guessed it right, Julian, I did set a reserve price for this masterpiece of Michelangelo, this painting is so precious that I want to avoid any accidents!

But I can't reveal the exact amount of the reserve price right now, keep it secret for now, and you'll find out later! What I can tell you is that the auction reserve price is a true reflection of the value of the painting, only too low!

I don't know what MOMA's budget is for this painting, but you'd better get out of the competition and lose to other buyers, so I don't think you'll be too sorry!"

"It looks like someone is going to be slaughtered!I'll go out to bid, such a top artwork is in front of me, if I don't fight for it, then I'm not qualified to be the director of MOMA!"

Julian said in a firm tone, looking very confident and scrappy.

As soon as the words fell, the auctioneer's passionate, high-pitched and loud voice came from the stage, instantly attracting the attention of everyone on the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what will be auctioned next is the last and most important lot in this European classicism auction.

That is the pinnacle of the famous Italian painter, the three masters of the Renaissance, and Michelangelo, the "Creation of Adam" of the "Genesis" series!

The auctioneer's passionate shouts resounded throughout the auction hall, and he was so excited that his voice sounded a little trembling.

At the same time, the door to the makeshift vault at the back of the auction table opened again.

Two Sotheby's auction house staff, carefully carrying Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", walked out of the door and appeared in the auction hall.

A Sotheby's auction house executive and two armed security personnel who were waiting at the door immediately greeted them and escorted the priceless treasure to the auction table!

"Bang Bang Bang"

The thunderous roar sounded very warmly.

Everyone stood up and gave their applause to this masterpiece of the Renaissance master Michelangelo.

This is to applaud Michelangelo's art, but also to applaud himself, to make himself more courageous and more combative, for the fierce battle that is about to begin.

At the same time, many buyers on the scene and on the Internet side looked at this painting with more hot eyes, and everyone's emotions were very excited, and their eyes lit up!

"Wow! This "Creation of Adam" is so perfect, it looks more delicate and delicate than the ceiling painting in the Sistine Chapel!

"When this treasure finally appears, it will soon become my personal treasure, and that's what I'm here to do!

The exclamations kept ringing, one after another, filling people's ears!

Everyone at the scene is following the pinnacle of Michelangelo's work, and they are reluctant to move away for a moment, everyone is full of fighting spirit, and they look like they are bound to win.

The smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger, and a match could detonate the whole room, turning the auction hall into an active volcano that erupted violently.

Soon, two Sotheby's staff members carrying the paintings walked to the auction table and carefully placed the "Creation of Adam" in their hands on the display shelf and displayed it in front of everyone's eyes.

Then, the two staff members reluctantly turned around and left, standing at the door of the rear vault.

The Sotheby's executive, with two armed security guards, immediately stood on both sides of the display shelf, nervously and excitedly protecting the priceless treasures on the display shelf, and did not dare to relax at all!

The applause lasted for two minutes before finally stopping.

The auctioneer's passionate voice immediately came from the stage, and he still trembled a little when he listened.

"Wow! This is truly a piece of art of the highest quality, truly priceless, full of divine breath and mesmerizing!

Every time I see this painting of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", I feel a sense of awe in my heart, which comes from the depths of my soul, the fear of God!"

As he spoke, the white auctioneer, who was in his fifties, quickly drew a cross on his chest.

"Yes, so do we, this "Creation of Adam" is the most perfect work of art, a gift from God to mankind!

Many buyers at the scene responded in unison, and everyone's eyes revealed piety and a little awe.

Those buyers from major church organizations in the United States kept making crosses on their chests and praying in low voices, very religious!

In the entire auction hall, there was only one exception, and that was Ye Tian.

At this time, he had a bright smile on his face, and there was only a desire for wealth in his eyes, not piety, let alone awe.

That's your God! It has nothing to do with buddy, dude only cares about what the final price of this oil painting is, whether it satisfies me or not!

If the transaction price is satisfactory to the buddy, above the auction reserve price, then the final winner can take this "Creation of Adam" and take it back for you to enjoy!

On the contrary, if the highest bid does not reach the auction reserve price, then I am sorry! This so-called God-given gift to mankind has to be pressed in the hands of buddies, and no one wants to take it.

After a moment's pause, the auctioneer's high-pitched voice came again.

"It is an honour to be able to preside over the auction of the Creation of Adam, and it is undoubtedly the most important moment in my auction career, the most important auction, and one that will be remembered forever!

Here, I would like to thank Mr. Steven for discovering this pinnacle of Michelangelo's painting, and for choosing Sotheby's, which is what follows!"

As he spoke, the auctioneer raised his hand and gestured at Ye Tian under the stage.

Ye Tian was also very personable, immediately turned around and raised his right hand, waved at everyone on the scene with a smile, and then turned back and nodded at the auctioneer on the stage!

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause rang out again, and it was full of enthusiasm.

Everyone at the scene applauded and gave Ye Tian a warm applause, and each applause was full of sincerity and gratitude!

In the past auction scenes, this was almost unimaginable! Ye Tian had never enjoyed such a courtesy!

The reason for this scene is, of course, because of the special significance of the "Creation of Adam".

Listening to these applause for himself, Ye Tian was a little embarrassed.

I hope you'll thank me later, instead of swearing at me!

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat, the auction will begin immediately!"

The auctioneer said loudly, and his voice was a few degrees higher!
