241 sky-high orbs
After the price exceeded 80 million, the American hotel giant was the first to withdraw from the competition.
When the price exceeds 810 million, the agents of the Qatari royal family are not raising their cards.
The Metropolitan Museum's agent continued to offer: "Eight hundred and one million! ”
After hesitating for a moment, the agent of the Louvre raised his sign again, "Eight hundred and one million eleven two million!" ”
Prince Asoud has been with him until the end, in addition to his sincere love for this painting, the main purpose is to give Lan Tianyu greater support and make this painting fetch a higher price. Now that the price of this painting is already sky-high, he also took the opportunity to withdraw.
"812 million, is there any price increase? 812 million for the first time! ”
Until the auctioneer's third bid, the Met's agent still did not increase the price, and the Louvre Museum had the last laugh. Since then, Madonna in the Clouds has been part of the collection of the Louvre Museum.
Finally, the dust settled, and there was a deafening applause for the second time in the venue.
Including the commission, the final transaction price of "Our Lady in the Clouds" is HK$893.2 million, which is converted into US dollars, about 110 million! This price not only set a new public auction record for a world art art, but what is even more terrifying is that it raises the world auction record for a single work of a living painter to an unimaginable level!
This astonishing number, except for the blue sky and rain itself that may be broken, other painters may not be able to break it in a few decades.
Previously, the world's major media have reported on "Our Lady of the Clouds" and praised it again and again. However, these accolades are far less intuitive and amazing than the transaction price of $110 million.
For such an astonishing transaction price, even Lan Tianyu himself was very surprised, he never had the luxury of expecting that his work would one day break through the auction mark of 100 million US dollars, "It actually exceeded 100 million US dollars!" This result is really exciting, Tianyu, congratulations! Senior brother Fan Qingfeng was the first to whisper congratulations.
"It's a great honor to set the highest auction record for a work of art in the world, Tianyu, congratulations!" Dean Liang's expression was very excited.
"Think about the situation of meeting you, it seems that it is still in front of me, I didn't expect you to have achieved such great results, I, as a teacher, am a little ashamed." Even Wan Lao, who is not in his possession, is a little embarrassed.
Lan Tianyu hurriedly said: "If it weren't for the teacher's teaching, I wouldn't have made such great progress. ”
"Let's not boast about our teachers and students, today's auction will be full of surprises, let's continue to look down." Wan Lao is not talking about this topic.
The auctioneer announced loudly: "In today's auction, there are still two last lots left, and now the auction is Emperor Kangxi's favorite item - Nine Dragon Jade Cup!" The starting price is HK$300 million, and each price increase shall not be less than HK$1 million, and the auction begins! ”
The special feature of the Kowloon Jade Cup is that many guests have already seen the demonstration with their own eyes during the preview. Even Emperor Kangxi can't put down the baby, how much does it cost to get it in his hands?
This question was quickly answered.
After nearly seven minutes of fierce competition, the final transaction price of the Kowloon Jade Cup was HK$875 million! Once again, it set an auction record for Chinese cultural relics.
The auction of the Nine Dragons Jade Cup is over, and only one last auction is left in this auction.
The auctioneer's voice was a little excited, and he announced: "The most anticipated moment has finally arrived!" The final lot of the auction, the world's most precious jewel to date, 'Tears of the Sea God - Starry Sky', is about to appear, and who will this incomparable treasure belong to? Let's wait and see. The starting price is HK$4 billion, and each price increase shall not be less than HK$10 million, and guests with purple number plates must have the right to bid, and the auction will start now. ”
The auctioneer's voice landed, and there was silence in the auction hall, and no one even raised a card.
After waiting for a few seconds, the auctioneer's heart beat a drum: "Could it be that this rare treasure of the finale is going to be unsold?" ”
The auctioneer tried his best to make the smile on his face more friendly, and he still looked confident, and began to mobilize the atmosphere again: "The jewel that can beautify and rejuvenate the face seems to be a fairy treasure that can only appear in myths and legends, but I didn't expect it to be left in the mortal world, which is a miracle in itself." Maintaining a youthful face forever, what a magical and tempting thing, it makes people's hearts pound when they think about it. If you miss this opportunity, you may regret it for the rest of your life. ”
The auctioneer was just about to introduce the great value of the Zhuyan Orb in scientific research, and someone on the field had already raised the purple number plate in his hand.
The auctioneer quickly stopped talking, stretched out his right hand, pointed in the direction of the bidder, and quietly listened to the other party's offer.
"Four billion and ten million!"
Finally, there was no need to worry about the failed auction, and the auctioneer finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Forty silence is twenty million!"
"Four billion thirty million!"
"Four hundred and fifty million!"
"Four and one billion!"
The silence at the beginning was completely broken by the purple number plates that were constantly raised, and the shocking numbers were constantly refreshed.
There are a total of 23 bidders with purple number plates, most of whom are the world's top tycoons, or hidden tycoons with mysterious identities, and seven world-famous scientific research units.
Because of the special role of the orb, whether it is used for private wear or scientific research, it has a huge attraction. As long as financial resources allow, for powerful bidders, this is a real treasure that must be fought for with all their might.
The competition in the field is fierce, and the price is climbing rapidly, and after more than a dozen rounds of bidding, the price has exceeded 5 billion.
With such an astonishing price, few of these powerful bidders gave up, and only a few withdrew from the competition.
Three minutes later, the price exceeded six billion!
After another two minutes, the price broke through 6.5 billion! At this time, there are still nine bidders who are still holding cards. Among them, there are three invisible rich people and two scientific research units.
At this time, the bidding became more and more intense, and the price gradually approached 7 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Lan Tianyu was very excited in his heart, the highest estimate of the Zhuyan Orb in his heart was one billion US dollars, and including the commission, this price should be realized soon. According to his estimates, this price should also be the psychological bottom line of many bidders, and perhaps the price is about to peak
