"Steven, show your red chariots, I can't wait to see them!"
Robert, an automotive appraisal expert, said excitedly.
He was so excited that he was dancing quickly, and Jones and the other two appraisal experts were the same, their eyes were extremely bright, staring at Ye Tian's backpack tightly, eager to see through it!
Hearing Robert's words, and seeing the performance of the rest of the people in the reception room, David's eyes immediately widened in surprise.
Could it be that Steven picked up a Ferrari from the warehouse?
How is this possible? Who would throw a Ferrari in an abandoned warehouse? If I had, I would have slept in bed with a tyre in my arms!
Then he looked at Ye Tian, without blinking his eyes, to see what he would show.
"Ok gentlemen, it's time for excitement!"
Ye Tian stood up with a smile, reached out for his backpack, and took out two 1:43 Ferrari sports car models from inside, the model was covered with a fully transparent plexiglass box, and there was no obstruction in the line of sight.
He then placed the two red Ferraris on the table, which burned with a burning passion.
Both are open-top sports cars, one classic and the other modern, representing Ferrari's heritage, like two burning flames, ready to erupt at any moment!
"Gentlemen, these are two 1:43 models of Ferrari sports cars, the Tipol25, Ferrari's first sports car, and the 2010 SA-Aperta-599-roadster, please enjoy!"
After putting the model away, he sat back in his seat with a smile on his face, sipping the coffee he had just brought in and waiting for the results.
"Fiery passion! perfect!"
"Cool! This is Michelangelo of the automotive industry!"
Several appraisal experts praised two sentences, and immediately enthusiastically pounced on them to start the appraisal.
Although he also felt amazing and dazzling, David was still confused and a little confused at this time!
Two models of Ferrari sports cars, can they be used with such fuss and solemnity? Even if it is a real Ferrari, it may not be as expensive as the double-headed piano, right?
Puzzled, he immediately began to ask.
"Steven, can you explain? Why do you all value these two sports car models more? Isn't that a bit of a fuss?"
"David, there is no need to be too surprised by two Ferrari models, even if they are antiques from 1947, but what if they are hundreds of models of Ferrari sports cars?
These models are all from Fiat, Italy, and are as many handmade limited editions as the corresponding sports cars, and the models were produced in the same age as the same sports car!
As part of this, the materials used to make these models are exactly the same as the real cars, which means that they are completely miniature Ferraris, except that they cannot be used as a speed.
I have not only 1:43, but also 1:24, 1:18, and even a dozen 1:8 scale oversized ones, and now you can understand why we pay more attention to these models."
Before he finished speaking, David was completely stunned by shock.
"How is that possible? Hundreds of handmade limited edition Ferrari models, and a full collection, and a lot of antique models, oh my God! I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Seeing David's appearance, Ye Tian smiled and didn't interrupt without making a sound, let him continue to be shocked!
Ye Tian's gaze had already shifted to several appraisal experts, waiting for them to come up with an authoritative appraisal conclusion, although he had already made up his mind about this conclusion!
Five minutes later, in a burst of admiration, the identification was over.
John, an expert in the appraisal of fine crafts, began to announce the conclusion of the appraisal:
"After identification, these two Ferrari models are confirmed to be from the original Fiat factory in Italy, and they are handmade limited edition Ferrari sports car models,......"
Every word is the same as I expected, there is no discrepancy, the most perfect conclusion!
The smile on Ye Tian's face became more and more vigorous, and the green dollar symbol in his eyes became clearer and clearer!
Once the appraisal is complete, the rest is simple.
David, who came to his senses, began to review the consignment auction contract, as long as the contract was fine, several experts went to Ye Tianjia to identify the remaining models and the other guitar, and then they could sign the contract.
During the period of reviewing the contract, Ye Tian began to communicate with Jones about the auction arrangement.
As soon as the contract is signed, Sotheby's will make an announcement and arrange a preview in a week.
The official auction will be in mid-August, when there will be a special auction of crafts and modern art, which is very large, very suitable, only about 20 days ago.
Of course, Ye Tian could accept this time arrangement, and nodded happily in agreement.
Half an hour later, David finished reviewing the contract.
Then everyone drove a business car and a big truck straight to Brooklyn, went to Ye Tian's house to identify the remaining models and guitars, and finally signed an auction contract.
Walking into Ye Tian's house and seeing dozens of sorting boxes piled up in the living room, everyone was instantly stunned.
"Oh my God! Are these limited edition Ferrari models! How much is that worth?"
The scene in front of him made David go straight into madness.
"Bingo! You guessed it, these are all handmade limited edition models of Ferrari cars, and there are a lot of antiques, as for how much they are worth? Let the rich collectors and Ferrari enthusiasts at the auction decide! I believe it will be the most reasonable and top price!"
Ye Tian said with a smile and confidence.
At this time, he was full of ambition and high spirits, and even like these sports car models, he was full of passion!
"It seems that treasure hunters are really a promising profession! It's so much better than mixing on Wall Street, I'm a little hot-eyed, I don't want to be a lawyer, and I'm looking for treasures in the warehouse!"
After the shock, David sighed again, and his eyes were full of envy.
"Hahaha, let's be your lawyer! I still count on you to help solve a lot of legal problems in the future!"
Ye Tian said with a big laugh, and the laughter was very hearty.
Of course, it is impossible for David to give up his status as a Wall Street lawyer with infinite scenery and plunge headlong into a warehouse auction house, unless he has a sick brain!
Everyone's mood has returned to normal, and the appraisal work has begun.
When the sorting boxes were opened one by one, the flaming chariots jumped out and appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the room suddenly resounded again and again with crazy exclamations, as well as Ye Tian's hearty laughter.
Although several appraisers are familiar with the road and the appraisal speed is very fast, the number of models is too much, and when all the models have completed the preliminary appraisal, the time has reached 8 o'clock in the evening.
During this time, everyone sat on the floor and enjoyed a dinner, and it was pizza!
It's time to sign the consignment auction contract!
Under the witness of David, after repeatedly confirming that the information was filled in correctly, Ye Tian successively signed his name on the Ferrari sports car model and guitar auction contract.
The contract is signed, and the rest of the work is Sotheby's's business.
Ye Tian only needs to wait for the auction to start, wait for these beautiful treasures to be auctioned, converted into dollars, and become the numbers in his bank card.
Next, the dazzling flaming chariots were packed back into the sorting boxes and transported downstairs to Sotheby's vans.
They will then enter the highly secure auction house warehouse, where they quietly wait for the preview and the auction.
Ye Tian's heart was hanging in his heart, and finally landed completely at this time!
With millions of dollars worth of treasures in the house and only a wooden door as a barrier, the feeling of trepidation is not very pleasant!
The scene of carrying happened to be seen by Jason, who was returning home from work.
When he saw the familiar boxes being moved out of the building and loaded into a truck with Sotheby's inscriptions, his eyes immediately began to turn red with envy.
At this time, even if you are stupid, you should understand when you see this posture, not to mention that Jason is not stupid!
Steven has definitely made a fortune on the sorting warehouse and has made a lot of money like never before!
Thinking of this, Jason's heart immediately began to bleed!
If I had promised Steven to be his partner!
But now these dollars have nothing to do with me, which is so unlucky and unfortunate!
How can anyone sell regret medicine? I want to buy a barrel!
The lot was on the bus, and Sotheby's and his party were ready to leave.
"Steven, you are the luckiest guy I've ever met! I hope God has always favored you so that you can harvest more treasures, and I hope we still have a chance to work together."
Jones made a sincere parting speech, his eyes still full of shock and envy.
"I'm sure there will be a chance to work together again, and it won't be long!"
Ye Tian replied with a smile, full of confidence and extremely firm!
"Thank you again for choosing Sotheby's, I believe it will bring you a good income, we are leaving, I wish you a pleasant evening, see you soon!"
"I think we'll all have a great evening, see you back!"
Ye Tian shook hands with everyone with a smile on his face and hugged him, and then sent them out of the apartment building.
Sotheby's two cars left, Ye Tian chatted with David on the side of the road in front of the apartment, and then David also took a taxi back to Manhattan.
When the taxi disappeared around the corner, Ye Tian turned around and prepared to go upstairs to go home.
Looking back, he immediately saw several familiar faces.
Every face was filled with expressions of shock, doubt, curiosity and envy!
Jason, Betty, Sophie, and the next door Yinworm were all standing in the door of the apartment, staring at them with wide eyes.
"Good evening, everyone!
Ye Tian waved hello and walked over to them with a smile.
