Under the leadership of the staff, Ye Tian and David came to the reception room of Sotheby's Crafts Department.
"Aren't you the two-headed huitar commissioned for auction? Why did you come to the fine arts department? You should go to the musical instrument department!"
David asked suspiciously.
Obviously he was a little curious why he came here, it doesn't have anything to do with musical instruments?
Just like the former Wall Street financial elite suddenly turned into a professional treasure hunter, it is hard to understand!
"This time I want to commission Sotheby's auction, not only this double-headed guitar, but also a Martin D-28 Hailinbo, as well as a lot of craftsmanship, and mainly craftsmanship, 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. You have found so many treasures, it is incredible!"
He originally thought that the double-headed guitar that Ye Tian picked up was just a fluke, but when he heard that there were other craftsmanship to be sold, he suddenly understood that Ye Tian might be really talented and capable in treasure hunting.
Luckily, it will not happen to one person continuously, and in such a short time.
"Perhaps treasure hunters are the most suitable career for me. Those previous jobs did not bring me much sense of accomplishment and happiness, but treasure hunting is different. Each time it is a new experience, very fresh and exciting, and I enjoy it!"
Although there are few treasure hunts, Ye Tian has indeed fallen in love with this business at this time.
Of course, in addition to the fresh and exciting feeling, there is also the use of abilities to easily earn large sums of dollars. Why not?
There is another reason, that is, the full freedom and the sense of steadfastness in completely controlling himself, which also made him fall in love with this profession.
After experiencing the precarious wind and rain before, he no longer wants to let his future and life be subject to any interference from other people and external forces.
Work life, never see you again!
"If you have the opportunity to go back to Wall Street or even re-enter the hedge fund industry, wouldn't you consider it? Isn't that a pity? After all, you are studying finance!"
"I have made up my mind to never go back to Wall Street to do financial derivatives trading, and now I want to come, this is completely empty glove white wolf, just a number game! It's illusory and unrealistic!
Whoever plays this game well, whoever is the winner, takes everything! If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and ruin your family! Just like our entire group, we lost everything, even the future!
Treasure hunting is completely different. Although it is also full of unknowns and uncertainties, you can see and touch everything, very real. I like this feeling! And fascinated by it! "
Ye Tian said very firmly, his eyes full of confidence.
Hearing these words, David was silent for a moment and began to think about Ye Tian's words.
The pros and cons of the career of treasure hunters are aside for the time being, but the freedom to be able to fully control really makes everyone's heart fascinated, including David!
Then, with the time that Sotheby's related parties had not yet arrived, Ye Tian signed a simple lawyer witness contract with David. This was a formal contract that had already been reviewed. There was no problem, and the speed was naturally fast.
Less than two minutes later, the door was pushed open, and four white men filed in from the outside.
The one who walked in the front, smiled and greeted Ye Tian when he entered the door.
"Hello! Mr. Ye, welcome to Sotheby's in New York, and thank you for choosing Sotheby's Auction Company. I am Jones, the head of the Fine Arts Department. I was the one who contacted you before"
Ye Tian said on the phone that he was Chinese, so Jones recognized him as soon as he walked in.
"Good afternoon, Jones, just call me Steven. Nice to meet you. This is my lawyer David Kent from Sullivan Law Firm"
Ye Tian shook hands with Jones, and introduced David.
Next, Jones also introduced the other three.
"This is Robert, a car appraisal expert, Phil, a musical instrument appraisal expert, John, a craftsmanship appraisal expert, they are all top masters in their respective fields in the industry!"
"Good afternoon, Robert,..."
Ye Tian smiled and shook hands with all of them.
After sitting down for a few greetings, everyone started to get into the topic.
Before the appraisal, Ye Tian introduced the baby's origin and showed the receipt of payment for the warehouse auction, so that the other party had evidence to check.
It also ensures that the identities of these lots are legal, without any legal loopholes and troubles, and can be promoted and auctioned safely and enter the market.
Although several people here already know that these lots are from abandoned warehouses, after listening to Ye Tian's account, everyone is still shocked and envious.
"Steven, you're so lucky! It's incredible to be able to dig so many treasures in the abandoned warehouse, and it was in a warehouse auction!"
"Hehe, maybe I should be lucky this time!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and easily attributed the credit to luck.
He was saying in his heart:
"In the future, I will have more antiques and artworks sent to Sotheby's. Through auctions, they will be converted into US dollars and returned to my pocket. This must be a wonderful process of great enjoyment, both for you and me!"
After introducing the origin of the lot, it is time to show these treasures.
Ye Tian started to get excited, and the rest of the people at the scene were also very excited, David stared at the huge guitar case even more.
"pop, pop, pop"
The three metal buckles on the guitar box were quickly opened by Ye Tian.
Then, the guitar case opened, and a dazzling red double-headed guitar immediately appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow! It's beautiful!"
Everyone at the scene uttered a compliment almost at the same time. In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up and they became more excited.
Everyone is familiar with this guitar scene. Apart from seeing the photos sent by Ye Tian, several of you must have seen it on stage or on TV when they were young, and more than once or twice.
That's why everyone was so excited when they first encountered this guitar so close.
"Gentlemen, the Guild guitar is a custom red double-headed crossroad, please enjoy and appraise!"
Ye Tian smiled and said, pushing the double-headed guitar in front of the three appraisal experts.
The appraisal begins!
David leaned in to appreciate it for a while before sitting back in his seat, with a satisfied expression.
As the relevant information is clearly visible on the guitar body, and this top brand guitar is unlikely to be faked, the identification is quick.
About three minutes, the expert has reached an identification conclusion.
"This double-headed guitar is indeed Crossroad genuine. It was specially customized for Guild guitar in 1993. It is a unique artwork that can be auctioned and is worth collecting!"
"Yeah! Great!"
Although he knew that this must be the conclusion, Ye Tian still cheered excitedly when he heard it with his own ears.
Thanks!
Thank you for leaving this baby in New York! As expected, I spent money on your records!
