Chapter 1769： Good show

"God! Steven, you guy is ten times more greedy than the legend, and the starting price is too exaggerated, why don't you grab it!"

"Today I am an eye-opener. Even if "Lisa Gladini" is Da Vinci's masterpiece, its price should not be so exaggerated!"

Amidst the exclamation, more people on the scene showed frustrated and disappointed expressions, and they were a bit angry.

Needless to say, these super-rich and top collectors have also been eliminated, and they have not even gotten the chance to participate in the auction. Can you feel depressed?

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is "Lisa Gladini". Its value cannot be measured by money. In time, when the popularity of this painting approaches "Mona Lisa", its value will soar."

Ye Tian smiled and said loudly, but his tone was firm.

For his remarks, everyone at the scene also agreed, but it is still difficult for everyone to accept the starting price of 1.8 billion euros, which is too shocking!

Nobody's money was brought by the wind, so it was so ransacked by the **** Steven, who would not feel the pain, who would be willing!

Of course, Ye Tian knew the thoughts of everyone in the audience, but he just shrugged with a smile on his face, looking helpless.

When the noise at the scene was slightly reduced, he immediately said:

"It is undeniable that this is a very exaggerated starting price. It has never appeared in the history of art auctions. It sounds a bit scary, but it is the most valuable investment with a huge return!

Think about it, everyone, how many tourists and huge revenues "Mona Lisa" attracts to the Louvre every year, at least several hundred million US dollars, if you count the peripheral products, definitely more than one billion US dollars.

"Lisa Gladini" also has the same potential. Regarding this, we can see from the preview of today's unprecedented auction, from the expectant art lovers and ordinary tourists.

In the foreseeable future, "Lisa Gladini" will continue to bring huge benefits to its owners, and it will continue to appreciate in value. It may not take a few years to fully recover the cost."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded lightly, and no one spoke out to refute.

The fact that "Mona Lisa" feeds half of the Louvre is known to everyone in the field of antique art collection, and these people at the scene are no exception!

With this jade in front, anyone with a discerning eye can see the infinite possibilities of "Lisa Gladini". This is definitely a veritable and undeveloped gold mine, enough to make people crazy!

Without a pause, Ye Tianqinglang's voice continued to echo in the exhibition hall.

"Don't look at the high and daunting starting price of this painting, but compared to its value, 1.8 billion euros is not worth mentioning. Considering this, do you still think the starting price is high?

I must remind everyone that this painting has an auction reserve price. If the final bid does not reach the auction reserve price, then I am very sorry, this masterpiece by Leonardo still belongs to me.

In the bidding process, the minimum increase is 10 million euros. After more than 2.5 billion euros, the minimum increase must not be less than 20 million euros. The bidders who actively raise the price should quote your price loudly.

Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is now open. Everyone is welcome to bid. Da Vinci’s masterpiece, "Lisa Gladini", has a starting price of 1.8 billion euros. Which lady or gentleman should bid for it? "

The auction started, but the exhibition hall became quiet.

In the huge exhibition hall, only Ye Tian's voice echoed in the air, full of passion, lingering in everyone's ears.

While shouting the starting price loudly, Ye Tian's eyes also looked like eagle eyes, quickly scanning the audience to see who would raise his hand first.

This is a small private auction. The number of bidders participating is limited, and telephone bidding is not accepted. Ye Tian has a clear view of the scene and does not need assistance from others.

Everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian on the auction stage and at the "Lisa Gladini" hanging on the wall. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot. They wanted to take that priceless treasure into their arms immediately. For yourself!

However, no one fired the first shot and raised their hands in response to the price.

The super-rich and top collectors who are able to participate in the competition chose to wait and see in unison, preparing to take a look at the actions of other people and figure out who their opponents are, and then follow up.

As for the guys who were eliminated before the auction started, not to mention, they can only sigh and stand aside watching the excitement, just envious of themselves.

"The starting price is 1.8 billion euros, who buyer should ask for the price? This is a masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, the only top-of-the-line artwork. Don't miss this heaven-sent opportunity, otherwise you will regret it for life!"

Ye Tian once again announced the starting price loudly, with a passionate voice, and tried his best to confuse the many super-rich and top collectors in the audience.

The scene was still very quiet, no one raised their hands to ask for a price.

Some people’s eyes flashed with emotions, but they were unwilling to be the first to raise their hands and be the target of other competitors, and still maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian sneered to himself, and then said decisively:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my last question. If no one has raised their hands to ask for a price, then today's private auction will end here. "Lisa Gladini" still belongs to me.

Next, everyone can go to the reception. At the reception, you may find opportunities for cooperation. That would be great. At least this trip to the Vatican was not in vain."

While saying this, his eyes quickly scanned the crowd, his face was always filled with a gentle smile.

Hearing these words, everyone at the scene changed their expressions without exception.

Everyone understands that you can't wait and see anymore, otherwise you will really miss this priceless treasure. With Steven's behavior as a bastard, it is absolutely impossible to lower the starting price even if the auction fails!

If you missed "Lisa Gladini" because you waited and watched, you would really regret it. Why did you come here? It's not a tourist in the Vatican.

Finally someone raised their hand to meet the price, and it was an old friend Ye Tian knew very well.

"Steven, the Italian Ministry of Culture took it at this price. We hope to keep this masterpiece of Da Vinci in Italy. This is Italy's national treasure and belongs to all Italians!"

Among the crowd, Italian Minister of Culture Tiano took the lead in raising his hand, agreeing to the starting price, and clearly knowing his identity.

While raising his hand in response to the price, Tiano's facial muscles twitched slightly, which was obviously painful.

Immediately afterwards, he and Giovanni turned their heads to look at other bidders, especially those strong super-rich and top collectors, and gently nodded and said hello to those buyers, behaving very friendly.

Their intentions for doing this are well known to everyone on the scene. It is nothing more than hoping that everyone will hold their hands high and not compete with them, so that they can successfully win "Lisa Gladini" so that they can go back to business!

But they obviously think too much.

The people in this exhibition hall who are preparing to participate in the bidding are either the super rich or the top collectors. Which one is good? Who puts the Italian Ministry of Culture in the eyes?

"OK! Someone finally asked for the price. It is Mr. Tiano from the Italian Ministry of Culture. Thank you very much for your support. The current price is 1.810 million Euros. Which lady or gentleman should ask for the price?"

Ye Tian raised his left hand and gestured to Tiano's location, and said passionately, and then quoted the new price.

The voice hadn't fallen yet, and someone in the crowd on the left of the audience raised their right hand and accepted the price.

The one who raised his hand to ask for the price was a top collector, Dimitris from Greece, who is also an old friend of Ye Tian. He had dealt with the art auction market in New York several times before.

Seeing this old friend raise his hand in response to the offer, Ye Tian immediately raised his hand and gestured to the other side and nodded gently at the other side.

Immediately afterwards, he quoted a new price of 1.82 billion euros.

Suddenly, someone raised their hands to ask for a price. It was a super rich man from Turin, Italy. It was the first time to meet Ye Tian!

At the beginning of the auction, fierce competition has begun.

Arms one after another, full of self-confidence, and the voice of asking me to give me an offer, echoed in the exhibition hall, echoed in everyone's ears.

As the competition unfolded, the atmosphere at the exhibition hall suddenly became more fiery, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became more intense!

An extremely wonderful scene kicked off, and this was exactly what Ye Tian wanted to see!
