Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 68 Private Auction

Ye Tian opened two suitcases, took out the antiques one by one, and placed them on the ground.

Then he quickly removed the wrapped newspaper, so that these expensive treasures were clearly presented in front of several antique dealers.

Although these people have seen the photos and are mentally prepared, when these antiques really appear in front of them, they can't help but sigh.

"God! I found so many antiques at one time! It's incredible!"

"The rumors are true, you really took the Peter Cooper Community Auction by storm!"

A bright smile appeared on Ye Tian's face, and his heart was also very refreshing.

After the shock, immediately entered the antique identification link.

These are all experts, with very good identification skills, there is no need to explain anything on their own,

Ye Tian reminded and instructed a few antiques with special markings, then stepped aside, waited for them to be appraised, and then began to trade.

Ye Tian knew the value of each antique, so he didn't worry about getting hit or being fooled!

Next, he was sipping afternoon tea with a relaxed attitude, while the old men shuttled among the antiques all over the place, everyone was very excited.

There are a lot of antiques, so it takes a lot of time. After about an hour, the appraisal is completely finished.

Time to trade!

As for how to trade with several antique dealers at the same time, without causing controversy because of the same antique, Ye Tian has a plan!

That is the fairest and least controversial auction, the highest bidder wins! Nobody can say anything!

As for whether the other party will join forces to pit him, Ye Tian has no such worries.

The auction is hosted by itself, and the starting price of each antique is set by itself. How can it be a loss?

If it fails, it will continue to exist in the personal vault, and antiques will not grow hair!

Seeing the old men complete the appraisal, when they sat down, Ye Tiantian put down the teacup and said loudly:

"Gentlemen, everyone has been appraised, so let's trade now, since there are many people and more things today, it is not realistic to talk about one by one, and there is not so much time.

Let's auction it, the highest bidder wins! Taking into account the profit sharing, I will call each antique up to five rounds, and if no one responds, it will be a pass in the auction. Do you understand? "

"It's a good method, it's fair, and it can avoid disputes"

This is an old bird in the antiques business. After a little thought, I understand that this is the best way to trade at the moment, so I have no objection.

Immediately afterwards, they began to gear up, ready to take down the most favorite antiques, and even compete with old friends.

After listening to these words, a look of admiration flashed in Benny's eyes.

What a sly fox! Almost grown up!

"Gentlemen, don't worry, there's still a shortage of record quotes"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and then called Jason in and asked him to record.

Jason was very excited to participate in this private auction that was closely related to his wallet, and immediately went to work with enthusiasm.

Auction starts!

The pair of silver-plated brass candlesticks were the first to appear. Ye Tian picked them up and displayed them for a while, then started to introduce them aloud and quoted the starting price.

"Gentlemen, this is a pair of silver-plated brass candlesticks from the end of the nineteenth century. The shape is simple and smooth, with a simple beauty, exquisite workmanship and sufficient materials. It is a rare fine antique.

From the personal identification inside the copper tube, the swash letter 'M', it is from the hand of George McConaughey, a famous craftsman in New York at that time. It is relatively rare and valuable.

Taking the above factors into consideration, my price is 10,000 US dollars. If the gentleman likes this pair of candlesticks, then he can sell. At 10,000 US dollars, which gentleman should bid? "

"Wow!"

Hearing this introduction and quotation, there was a whisper in the room.

Too much research.

The understanding and quotation of antiques is not much different from my own, so I can't take advantage of it!

Several antique dealers who knew Ye Tian for the first time were a little hesitant at this time.

Although they liked the pair of candle holders, at $10,000, the cost seemed a bit too high!

At this time, these people were still taking advantage of them, especially seeing Ye Tian's young face, which made them firm.

But the reality was unexpected. They didn't expect Ye Tian to be so accurate and quoted a very uncomfortable starting price!

Accept it or not? Several people are hesitant!

A glimmer of admiration flashed in both Benny and Jason's eyes, and Benny's valuation was about the same, so they admired Ye Tian's vision.

Jason admires Ye Tian's control over the situation, he is so arrogant! Maybe this is the magic of money! Makes people feel confident!

Seeing the changes in the expressions of several antique dealers, Ye Tian immediately chuckled.

I want to get cheap from my buddies, but there is no door! Not to mention doors, not even windows!

"$10,000, great value, this is a piece of craftsmanship from New York!"

Ye Tian was bewitched, as long as someone asked for the price, he believed that the scene would immediately become active.

Some were hesitant, others were firm, and Gary took the lead.

After the last transaction, Gary understood that Ye Tian's knowledge of antiques was no lower than anyone present, or even higher, and he was very cunning! Here in Ye Tian, ​​there is absolutely nothing to gain!

So he gave up the idea of ​​picking up cheap items early in the morning, and prepared to buy a few pieces of his favorite antiques with real money. This pair of candlesticks was one of his favorite treasures.

Before Ye Tian finished speaking, Gary answered loudly:

"$10,000, I'll take it!"

"what!"

A few surprised exclamations rang out again at the scene.

Several antique dealers looked at Gary, their eyes full of puzzlement and doubt.

What did this old fox do?

Shouldn't it be? This is a guy who is unlucky if he doesn't take advantage of it! Why are you willing to spend $10,000 on this pair of candlesticks? too weird!

No matter what they thought, Ye Tianke raised his hand and said loudly when he heard Gary's offer.

"OK! Gary offered $10,000, and now it's $11,000, who will take it?"

Several bidders looked at each other, but no one responded.

Ye Tian didn't wait, he could accept 10,000 and immediately started the countdown.

"$11,000 the first time, the second time,..."

Just as he was about to shout a third time, someone spoke up, it was Erwin.

Obviously, he also took a fancy to this pair of candlesticks and couldn't bear to miss it, so he reluctantly shot.

"yeah!"

Ye Tian smiled, the competition started!

"$11,000, Erwin took it, now the third bid, $12,000, anyone? Gary?"

The rest of the people are still watching, expecting to pick up a bargain on the next antique, they have given up on this pair of candlesticks

The bidding turned into a Gary and Erwin battle!

Gary raised his hand calmly and responded to Ye Tian's offer.

Although it looks like the clouds are light and the wind is light, there is still a trace of pain in his eyes.

Erwin followed suit, pushing the pair to $13,000.

The feeling of making money is really cool, and Ye Tian's heart is already blooming.

Equally happy, there are Benny and Jason, who also saw the dollars rolling in, and can't wait for the competition to continue forever!

But that is just a beautiful vision, impossible to achieve.

When the $14,000 was reluctantly accepted by Gary again, Ye Tian immediately dropped the hammer and ended the auction of the pair of candlesticks.

The reason why he dropped the hammer so quickly was because he followed through on his promise to only bid for five rounds, even if Erwin wanted to follow up!

This not only makes money for themselves, but also leaves a profit space for antique dealers, which is convenient for future cooperation.

A smile appeared on Gary's face. Although it was a little bitter, he was still very happy. He had harvested a pair of good antique candlesticks, and it was also profitable!

Erwin was a little lost, and he missed out on the antique he liked, so naturally he was in a low mood.

Jason, who was in charge of the recording, and Benny, who was watching, were all smiling.

Ye Tian made a fortune, why didn't they!
