In less than ten minutes, Ye Tian booked the suite.
Immediately afterwards, the hotel staff took a few experts from the Palace Museum to go upstairs to rest.
Just as Ye Tian was about to push the door into the banquet hall to see the situation, a strange voice suddenly heard behind him.
"Please stay! Mr. Ye"
Ye Tian stopped, turned his head and looked behind him, slightly surprised.
Raymond and Walker, standing behind him, immediately approached each other half a step inward, their eyes fixed on the incoming person, and they were already on guard.
The one who called Ye Tian aloud was a middle-aged man in his forties, in a suit and leather shoes, who looked quite capable, and he should be a business person.
There are also three people around him, a beautiful woman in a professional suit, who should be in a role like a secretary, and the other two business people in suits and leather shoes, both men, in their thirties.
Seeing Raymond and Walker's movements, these few immediately stopped and stood five or six meters away, with a trace of fear in their eyes.
"Happy New Year! I'm Ye Tian, is there anything wrong? We don't seem to know each other?"
Ye Tian greeted the other party, and then asked curiously.
"Happy New Year! Mr. Ye, we haven't met before, we don't know each other! But we really want to get acquainted with Mr. Ye, become friends, and become business partners.
Introduce myself, my name is Zhao Ran and I come from Poly Auction Company. I am mainly responsible for the collection of auctions in the company. These are my colleagues. I am glad to meet you."
The first middle-aged man in his forties introduced himself, and stepped forward and stretched out his right hand.
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party, then said politely with a smile on his face:
"I am also very pleased to meet you, Mr. Zhao, Poly Auction Company, who is the best in the domestic antique art auction industry and has long admired his name!
Mr. Zhao, you seem to be older than me, so just call me Xiaoye or Ye Tian. This sounds more pleasant to the ears. I don’t know if you are looking for me. "
"Okay, let's call you Xiaoye! We do have something to look for you, so we want to cooperate with you. Specifically, we want to take over the auction business of the top antique artworks you brought back to China.
As far as I know, you did not commission any auction house to auction this batch of top antique artworks in your hands, so we will come here to see if there is an opportunity for cooperation.
Every piece of that batch of top antique artworks is very valuable, it is rare to see! We very much hope to take over this auction business and provide you with the most professional auction service..."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately interrupted the other party.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, I have to interrupt you. I still have a lot to do this morning. Time is limited. Please forgive me.
You are worthy of being the top domestic auction house. The news is very well-informed. Regarding the auction business of this batch of top antique artworks, I really did not entrust any auction house.
Because this is a private auction and it is not open to the public, all auctions of antique artworks will be hosted by myself, and I will not fake it.
So, this time there is no chance of cooperation! Not only you, but all other auction houses are the same, but I believe that we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future"
A look of disappointment flashed across Zhao Ran's eyes, his expression somewhat ugly.
He knew very well that this piece of fat had no relationship with his company, and he could only watch it slip away from his mouth! But helpless!
This is the fattest auction business in China this year! Even the fattest auction business ever! It's hard to meet again!
As the Poly Auction Company, which specializes in Chinese antique art auctions, it is a shame to miss such an extremely attractive and super-large order!
If the other party is just an ordinary person, the company can still use some resources to put pressure on the other party to win this big order and make a fortune!
But is this man in front of me an ordinary person? Putting pressure on him, expecting this guy to bow his head and give in and hand over the auction business to his own company, that is pure idiot!
Who is this guy bowing to? not even one!
In this case, it can only be second best.
After a short pause, Zhao Ran said again expectantly:
"It seems that our Poly auction really has no chance. It is really a pity! Xiaoye, here, I wish you a complete success in this private auction.
I would like to ask, can our appraisal experts enter the auction site to observe? Those antique works of art are so important! Everyone wants to witness their first appearance in China again! "
"Sorry! Mr. Zhao, I just said that this is a private auction. Only those who receive our invitation can enter the banquet hall to visit the preview and participate in the bidding.
The internal space of this banquet hall is limited and cannot accommodate too many people. Therefore, I can only refuse your request. Please understand.
Not only your Poly Auction House, but all other auction houses, whether domestic or foreign, are not allowed to enter the auction site. This is for confidentiality reasons! "
Ye Tian refused very simply, and refused the other party's request.
The staff of these auction houses enter the auction venue. Of course, it is not excluded to appreciate and appraise the top antique artworks and witness their debut in China, but this is only one of the purposes.
Their main purpose is to personally confirm who these top antique works of art ended up in and who they were photographed by!
After being photographed by cultural and cultural institutions such as the Palace Museum, they can only sigh with excitement, and they can't pay attention to those antique artworks.
The top antique artworks that fall into the hands of private collectors are their focus.
In the future, as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely try their best to encourage those top antique works of art to enter the market again, conduct transactions, and become the finale of their auction house.
There is no need for many such top lots. Just one or two pieces can bring tens of millions of profits to the auction house, and can greatly increase the auction house’s popularity and position in the industry.
Because of this, Zhao Ran made this request.
However, Ye Tian had anticipated their thoughts a long time ago, and made corresponding arrangements.
That is, all the staff of the auction house are prohibited from entering the site, and the relevant persons who are eligible to enter the auction site to participate in the bidding will also be required to keep it confidential and cannot disclose the identity of the winning bidder.
Of course, this does not include cultural institutions like the Forbidden City.
These cultural and cultural institutions are all gluttonous, as long as the top antique artworks fall into their hands, there is no possibility that they will be released again, except for theft!
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Zhao Ran and his party were completely desperate, and their faces became quite ugly.
There is no chance at all! This product in front of you is really horrible. Defending us is like anti-thief. As for?
Then he pulled a couple of nonsense nonsense, Ye Tian left, turned and opened the door and walked into the banquet hall.
Immediately afterwards, the doors of the two banquet halls were closed again, leaving Poly Auction House and his party outside.
"I'm going! This stuff is so arrogant, it doesn't give you any face! It's the first time I have seen such an arrogant guy, it's so open!"
"Who said no! Try to be so arrogant as a person, you guys won't die!"
Several people in the Poly Auction House complained in low voices, their eyes flashed with anger, and they were a little bit frustrated No way! Ye Tian has arrogant confidence! Just taking out one of the top antique works of art in his hand can cause quite a stir!
More importantly, this product is not short of money at all, and it is a tough guy with no taboos. Such a person, what do we use to threaten others? Nothing! "
Zhao Ran sighed and sighed with emotion, his face full of disappointment.
After a few complaints, these people turned and left the entrance of the banquet hall.
As for whether they will continue to think of ways or go home for the New Year? I don't know.
As soon as these people from Poly Auction House left with their front feet, a few businessmen in suits and leather shoes walked out of the elevator with their back feet and went straight to the banquet hall.
These guys came from another well-known domestic auction house, and the purpose was the same as Zhao Ran and the others, they all wanted to take the auction rights of the top antique works in Ye Tian's hands.
But it's a pity that they didn't even see Ye Tian's face, they were all blocked outside the banquet hall, and they had a closed door!
