Prince Hassan of the royal family of Qatar hesitated a bit and began to whisper to Princess Al-Mayassa, discussing whether to continue bidding.
"It seems that Carlos is bound to win this "Mont Sainte-Victoire"! Do we need to continue? The budget for buying top art works this year shouldn't be much, right?
With the current situation, the finale "The Boy in thr Red Vest" is definitely more expensive. It seems unlikely that we can take down both of these top oil paintings!"
Prince Hassan whispered, analyzing the situation in front of him.
At this moment, his mind is very clear and he is also very clear about their situation.
Upon hearing these words, Princess Al-Mayassa pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision.
"You are right, Hassan, we want to take these two top paintings by Paul Cézanne, but it is indeed impossible to bring them all back to Qatar.
But we must make sure to take one of them. In comparison, I prefer "The Boy in the Red Vest". That oil painting is rarer and has more artistic value and market value!
From now on, let's adjust our bidding strategy and follow two more rounds. If we can't beat Carlos back, then we will give up this oil painting and prepare to compete for "The Boy in the Red Vest"!
Such top art works are so rare that no one is willing to send them to auctions and that's what Steven would do! This kind of opportunity can be met but not sought and must not be missed!"
"Okay! I'll hold the card!"
Prince Hassan nodded, raised the bidding plate in his hand, and accepted the price of 160 million U.S. dollars.
In a blink of an eye, John quoted a new price!
165 million U.S. dollars.
The applause sounded again, more enthusiastic and crazier!
As Prince Hassan said, Carlos is bound to win this "Mont Sainte-Victoire"! Accompanied by warm applause, the voice of Carlos art consultant reached everyone's ears.
"170 million, John!"
The exclamation reappeared and the fourth-ranked record in the history of art auctions in the world was born!
Soon there is no tie for fourth! Everyone is extremely convinced of this!
As predicted!
The bid number plate in Prince Hassan's hand was raised again, and he responded to the new price quoted by John, 175 million U.S. dollars!
Accompanied by a wave of thunderous applause, warm and lasting!
"Awesome! Cool!"
Ye Tian waved his fist excitedly and almost jumped up and cheered.
Sorry! Liu Yiqian, from now on, the fourth record in the history of world art auctions don't belongs to you anymore! You can only rank fifth!
Jason standing next to him was completely stupid at this time, with a dull face, muttering to himself, eyes full of madness!
Carlos's art collection consultant raised the placard again and responded to a brand new offer of $180 million.
The moment he raised his placard in response to the price, there was once again enthusiastic applause.
These applauses are given to the third top art in the history of art auctions in the world, Paul Cézanne's "Mont Sainte-Victoire"!
At this moment, this oil painting has surpassed Picasso's "Les Femmes d'Alger" and successfully broke into the world's top three art auction history!
Before this oil painting, there were only two top oil paintings left.
Paul Cezanne's "The Card Players" is worth $274 million; Gauguin's "When Will You Marry?" is worth $300 million!
There is nothing else!
"No. 66 bidded 180 million US dollars! From Mr. Carlos's art collection consultant, the current price is 185 million US dollars, 185 million US dollars, does anyone respond? Princess Al-Mayassa?"
John shouted with excitement, his voice was very loud!
At this moment, he has stopped looking at other people and there is no need for that!
He fixed his eyes on the two important figures from the Qatar royal family, looking forward to them once again raising the bidding number plates in their hands!
However, things backfired! The answer he got this time was no!
Princess Al-Mayassa gently shook her head and announced her withdrawal from the competition, giving up continuing to compete for this top oil painting!
Although she failed to win this "Mont Sainte-Victoire", Princess Al-Mayassa did not have much lost expression. There is a better oil painting behind, that is the main goal!
Besides, the two oil paintings ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the history of art auctions in the world are in her own hands. What else is there to lose?
Seeing Al-Mayassa shaking her head, a sigh of regret immediately sounded on the scene.
"Hey!"
Everyone knows that this auction is over and the final winner is the richest man in Mexico and the former richest man in the world, Carlos Slim.
The sigh did not fall, but the applause had burst again.
"Papa...Papa"
Everyone in the auction hall was applauding, extremely warm and deafening!
Accompanied by the applause, there were enthusiastic discussions all over the auction hall.
"Exciting! This is the most exciting and craziest auction I have ever experienced! Who would have thought of such a result? "Mont Sainte-Victoire" actually broke into the top three of the world's art sales records!"
"This special auction will surely stir up the entire art collection field and Paul Cézanne's other oil paintings will also benefit from it and the value will surely soar!
It is no exaggeration to say that Paul Cézanne has become the world's most attractive top artist and famous artists such as Monet, Picasso, Pollock, etc. cannot be compared with it!"
"It seems so! But it cannot be said that Paul Cézanne is the best and unique artist. After all, most of the top oil paintings will not appear in auctions!
For example, Titian's "The Rape of Europa", Leutze's "Washington Crossing the Delaware" and so on, not to mention Raphael's "Sistine Madonna" and Leonardo's "Mona Lisa" .
If it were these classic paintings, it would be easy to sell for a sky-high price of five or six billion US dollars. Unfortunately, these famous paintings are the treasures of major museums and it is impossible to appear on the market!"
When people talked about it, Ye Tian was already celebrating wildly.
"Awesome! Dude sent it!"
Ye Tian roared excitedly and slammed his fist into the air.
He shouted in Chinese and few people at the scene could understand it, but everyone heard his voice and immediately looked over here.
Seeing the extremely bright smile on his face and seeing the fists still waving in the air, everyone immediately felt his mood and understood how excited and excited he was!
Can he not get excited when he hit the head with 180 million dollars?
"Papa...Papa"
The applause sounded again, still deafening, this time it was given to Ye Tian!
Along with the applause, there were countless envious eyes.
John's voice came into everyone's ears again, still so loud and loud
However, his voice is no longer so stable, but a little trembling, which is obviously caused by excitement!
"$185 million, is there anyone else asking for the price? Ladies and gentlemen!"
John shouted two or three times in a row, but no one raised his placard.
Seeing this situation, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately entered the hammer transaction procedure.
"The first time, the second time, 185 million US dollars anyone? Solded! 180 million US dollars! The winning bidder is Mr. Carlos from Mexico, congratulations!"
When the deal was announced, the auction mallet in his right hand fell heavily.
"boom!"
The final word, the auction is over!
"Papa...Papa"
The applause rang like thunder and swept the entire auction hall in an instant.
The celebration begins.
"Hahaha, that's great!"
Ye Tian laughed, heartily, arbitrarily and publicly, with no one else!
