Shortly after the White House press conference, Sotheby's was the first to come to the company, all of whom were old acquaintances.

After welcoming the other party into the company conference room and exchanging a few polite words with each other, Larry, Sotheby's head of jewelry, said with anticipation:

"Steven, just before I left the auction house, I saw the public statement of the White House on TV, I didn't expect you to invite not only the Pope to officiate at the wedding, but also Mr. President, the scene is too big,

I would like to ask if I can bring my family with me on the day of the wedding? To tell you the truth, when I heard that the Pope was coming, my wife was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and she was desperate to see His Holiness the Pope."

Not only Larry, but also the rest of the old friends of Sotheby's auction house, one counts as one, who doesn't want to bring their family members to this wedding that must be highly anticipated!

Hearing Larry's words, the rest of the people immediately turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, expecting his answer, their eyes were extremely hot.

Ye Tian glanced at these people, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, no problem, as long as you receive Betty's wedding invitations from me and Betty, you can bring your partner to Boston for the wedding ceremony, and we are very welcome.

However, everyone can only bring their partners, not children, the church space for weddings is limited, and the number of guests who receive invitations is high, so some restrictions must be taken.

Because the Pope and the President will be attending the wedding, as well as many other important people, the security checks must be very strict, and there will be a lot of inconvenience with children."

"We understand this, Steven, just bring my partner to the wedding, so that I can go back and make a business, and I believe my wife will be ecstatic to hear the news!

You're right, this wedding between you and Betty is different from other weddings, it is really not suitable for children to attend, those little ones are so naughty, maybe they will cause trouble!"

Larry said excitedly, wishing he could immediately take out the phone and tell his wife the good news.

The rest of the guys were the same, and they were all happy.

After a little more chatting about weddings, the Pope, and so on, everyone got down to business and began to discuss the New York autumn auction season, which has begun.

The first to speak out was Greg, the head of sales at Sotheby's.

"Steven, the Asian Art Week auction has just ended, and when you look at the sales at Sotheby's and other major auction houses, it's no surprise that you are once again the biggest winner.

In just a few of our Sotheby's auctions, more than a dozen antique works of art commissioned by your company were sold at very good prices, totaling nearly $100 million.

In addition to you, a new professional treasure hunter named Bowie in New York has also made a lot of gains, and according to our preliminary statistics, he is the second seller after you.

That guy has a lot of valuable Asian antiques in his hands, and he has scattered them to various auction houses, and he has made a lot of money at the Asian Art Week in this autumn auction season!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian and David immediately looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

The biggest winner is me, and the second place is buddy! Bowie is just a façade, and the antique artworks that flow out of his hands, without exception, all belong to buddies!

However, how did these old friends of Sotheby's know the secret, and they are all in the dark and confused at the moment!

Other auction houses in New York are the same, they all began to pay attention to the newly rising Texas cowboy, but they didn't know that it was Ye Tian standing behind the Texas cowboy!

After a pause, Greg continued:

"This year's New York Autumn Auction season is really coming to a head after Asia Week, and you're back from Europe with a ton of top-quality antiques.

Next, we can carry out deeper cooperation to bring more top-quality antique artworks to the market, and many collectors are ready to fight!

In particular, the harvest of your trip to Europe is the focus of attention of the entire auction market and all the top collectors, everyone is waiting for you to release those treasures, so that you can compete in the end!"

As soon as his words fell, the head of the Egyptian and Western Asian High Ancient Art Department immediately continued:

"That's right, Steven, for example, the gold crown you salvaged from the bottom of the English Channel, and the gold mask of the ancient Egyptian cat god Best, have attracted the attention of many top collectors.

If those two top antiques are submitted to auction, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, attracting countless top collectors and even related countries to compete for it, and it is likely to set a new auction record!

At the end of October, we have a special auction of ancient Egyptian and Western Asian antiquities at Sotheby's, and if you can entrust us with those two top antiques, we will be able to give you the most satisfactory result."

After speaking, this buddy looked at Ye Tian expectantly, waiting for him to give an answer.

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Elwin, that's a very good suggestion, I'd like to think about it, and I'm not going to collect the Golden Mask of the ancient Egyptian cat god Best or the Golden Crown anyway.

According to my estimates, the golden mask of the cat god came from the tomb nine times out of ten, and the golden crown was looted by Rommel, and it may have been stained with the blood of many people and how many souls were attached!

This kind of antique art is not in my collection, even if they are very precious and of great research value, I am unlucky, of course, China's top antique art is another matter!

I haven't had time to study the golden crown yet, but when I return to New York from Boston after my wedding with Betty, I'll be looking for an expert to start working on it.

Wait until the secret of the golden crown is revealed, and then look at the specific situation, if there is no need to keep it secret, I will talk to you about the consignment auction, the special auction will be at the end of October, and the time is completely in time."

"Alright then, Steven, I'm looking forward to good news from you"

Erwin nodded, still a little disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, the director of the European Classical Painting Department jumped out again, trying to collect a few top artworks from Ye Tian and add a few heavyweight lots to his department's special auction!

This guy is mainly staring at the top works of art from Napoleon's treasures, such as Titian, Masaccio, Dürer and other Renaissance masters.

Once the paintings of those great artists appear on the art market and appear at auction, they will surely cause a huge sensation and attract countless top collectors to bid wildly!

And this is exactly the scene that Sotheby's auction house wants to see the most, of course, Ye Tian is no exception!

Like dealing with Erwin before, Ye Tian neither agreed to the other party, nor did he explicitly refuse, he pushed back the time to negotiate the consignment auction, and asked the other party to wait patiently for a while.

In fact, at Sotheby's in late October, many of the lots were collected from Ye Tian, and the most important finale lot belonged to him!

While Ye Tian and his party were talking, representatives of Christie's and Bonhams had also arrived at the company.

However, they can only wait in the company lounge, full of anticipation and apprehension!

More than half an hour later, Sotheby's and his party walked out of the conference room, shook hands with Ye Tian and David, and then left the Brave Explorer Company!

When they left the company, each of them had a big smile on their faces and was extremely excited!

There's no other reason they're excited, because Greg has an extra envelope in his briefcase, and that envelope contains a list of valuable antique art!

Needless to say, those antique artworks are all entrusted by Ye Tian to Sotheby's auction house, so that they can be put on the market one after another during this year's New York autumn auction season!

Without exception, each of those antique works of art is valuable and has extraordinary artistic value.

Ye Tian still has several copies of the same list of antique artworks in his hand, which are prepared for major auction houses such as Christie's and Bonhams, so you can't favor one over the other!

After the Sotheby's auction house and his party left, Ye Tian called several old friends from Christie's into the conference room!

After some polite greetings, another round of talks began, and in the midst of one meeting after another, the tone of this year's New York autumn auction season has been quietly set!

This cycle continued, and when it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and the others finally finished their work and were idle.

Next, it's time to head to the Banquet Hall on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel on 59th Street to enjoy a grand celebration dinner and raise a glass to celebrate!
