Chapter 36: The Freedom of Complete Control (Asking for Recommendations, Asking for Clicks, Asking for Collections)

Under the leadership of the staff, Ye Tian and David came to the reception room of Sotheby's Craft Department. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Didn't you entrust the auction of Slash's double-headed piano? Why did you come to the craft department?

David asked, confused.

Apparently he was a little curious as to why he was here, which had nothing to do with musical instruments.

It's as incomprehensible as the once Wall Street financial elite has suddenly become a professional treasure hunter!

"This time, I want to entrust Sotheby's to auction not only this double-headed piano, but also a Martin D-28 Hailimbo, as well as a lot of craft products, and they are mainly craft products, so I came here."

Ye Tian smiled and explained the reason.

"Wow!"

David exclaimed again, and then said enviously:

"Steven, it seems that you are really an outstanding professional treasure hunter, and it is incredible that you have found so many treasures!"

He originally thought that Ye Tian had just picked up Slash's double-headed piano, but when he heard that there were other craft products to be auctioned, he immediately understood that Ye Tian might really have talent and strength in treasure hunting.

Fluke doesn't happen to one person in a row, and in such a short period of time.

"Maybe treasure hunting is the most suitable career for me, those previous jobs did not bring me much sense of achievement and happiness, but treasure hunting is different, every time is a new experience, very fresh and exciting, I also enjoy it!"

Although there were few treasure hunts, Ye Tian had indeed fallen in love with this line of work at this time.

Of course, in addition to the freshness and excitement of the experience, there is also the fact that you can easily earn a lot of dollars with your abilities, so why not?

There is another reason, that is, the full degree of freedom, the sense of solidity in complete control of himself, which also made him fall in love with this profession.

After experiencing the precariousness and turmoil of the past, he no longer wants to let his future and life be interfered by any other person and external forces.

Never see you again in the workplace!

"If you have the opportunity to go back to Wall Street or even re-enter the hedge fund industry, wouldn't you consider it? Wouldn't that be a pity? After all, you studied finance!"

"I've made up my mind that I'll never go back to Wall Street to do financial derivatives trading, and now that I think about it, it's just a numbers game!

Whoever plays this game well will be the winner, and will take it all! If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and go bankrupt! Just like the whole group of us, we will lose everything, even the future!

Treasure hunting is completely different, it's full of unknowns and uncertainties, but you can really see everything, touch it, it's very real, I love it!

Ye Tian said in a very firm tone, his eyes full of confidence.

Hearing this, David suddenly fell silent and began to think about Ye Tian's words.

Regardless of the pros and cons of the treasure hunter profession, the freedom to be able to control it completely really makes everyone's heart excited, including David!

Subsequently, taking advantage of the time before the relevant people of Sotheby's arrived, Ye Tian signed a simple lawyer's witness contract with David, which was a standard contract that had already been reviewed, and there was no problem, and the speed was naturally fast.

Less than two minutes later, the door was pushed open, and four white men streamed in from the outside.

The one who walked in the front greeted Ye Tian with a smile when he entered the door.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, welcome to Sotheby's New York, and thank you for choosing Sotheby's Auction Company, I am Jones, the head of the craft department, and I am the one who contacted you before."

Ye Tian said on the phone that he was Chinese, so Jones recognized him as soon as he entered the door

"Good afternoon, Jones, just call me Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you, this is my lawyer, David Kent, from Sullivan & Associates."

Ye Tian stepped forward to shake hands with Jones and greeted him, and introduced David again.

Next, Jones introduced the other three.

"This is Robert, an expert in automotive authentication, Phil, an expert in musical instruments, John, an expert in craftsmanship, they are all top experts in their respective fields!"

"Good afternoon, ,...... Robert"

Ye Tian smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with these people.

After a few words of greeting, everyone began to get to the point.

Before the appraisal, Ye Tian first introduced the origin of the treasure and showed the payment receipt for the warehousing auction, so that the other party could have a well-documented record.

It also ensures that the identity of these lots is legal, without any legal loopholes and troubles, and can be safely advertised and auctioned, and enter the market circulation.

Although a few people here already knew that these lots came from abandoned warehouses, after listening to Ye Tian's story, everyone was still very shocked and envious.

"Steven, you're so lucky! It's incredible that you've been able to dig up so many treasures in an abandoned warehouse, and it's in a warehouse auction!"

"Hehe, maybe I'll be lucky this time!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and easily attributed all the credit to luck.

But in his heart he said:

"In the future, I will have more antiques and works of art sent to Sotheby's, which will be auctioned and converted into dollars and returned to my pocket, which must be a wonderful process to enjoy, both for you and for me!"

After introducing the origin of the lots, it is time to show these treasures.

Ye Tian began to get excited, and the rest of the people on the scene were also excited, and David was even more staring at the huge piano case.

"Smack, smack, smack"

The three metal buckles on the piano case were quickly flicked open by Ye Tian in turn.

Immediately afterwards, the piano case was opened, and a dazzling red double-headed piano was immediately presented in front of everyone.

"Wow!

Everyone at the scene let out a sigh of praise almost at the same time, and everyone's eyes lit up in an instant, and they became more excited.

Everyone is familiar with this guitar scene, in addition to seeing the photos sent by Qin Feng, several people here must have seen it on stage or on TV when they were young, and more than once or twice.

That's why when we got up close and personal with this guitar for the first time, everyone was so excited.

"Gentlemen, Guild Guitar's custom red double-headed Crossroad for Slash, enjoy, identify!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and pushed this double-headed violin in front of the eyes of the three appraisal experts.

Appraisal begins!

David leaned in and admired it for a few moments before sitting back in his seat, his expression contented.

Since the relevant information is on the body of the instrument, it is clearly visible, and it is impossible for this top brand guitar to be faked, so the identification is very fast.

In about three minutes, the experts have already reached the identification conclusion.

"This double-headed piano is truly a Crossroad authenticity, specially made for Slash by Guild guitars in 1993, and is a one-of-a-kind work of art that can be auctioned and treasured!"

"Yay! that's great!"

Although he knew that this was definitely the conclusion, but hearing it with his own ears, Ye Tian still cheered excitedly.

Thanks Slash!

Thank you for leaving this treasure in New York!
