Treasure Hunt all over the World

After appreciating "The Death of Marat", Ye Tian was ready to take Betty to continue to appreciate another famous painting hanging not far away.

At this moment, a slightly familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Mr. Steven, please stay, I have something to ask you"

Hearing this, Ye Tian stopped immediately, turned his head and looked to his right rear.

The one who stopped him was an old acquaintance, the curator of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium, Mr. Maeterlinck, whom he had met after the Boston incident and who had made a deal.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Maeterlinck, I said this voice sounds a little familiar, I didn't expect it to be you, what a coincidence!"

Ye Tian greeted this old friend with a smile, and signaled to Taylor and the others that he could let the other party come over, this one was not threatening.

Taylor nodded immediately, and immediately stepped aside.

In two or three steps, Maeterlinck walked up to him and shook hands with Ye Tian.

"Good afternoon, Steven, nice to meet you, I didn't expect you to come to Brussels, to our Royal Museum of Fine Arts, very welcome!

I was at the Grand Place in Brussels just now, and I rushed back immediately when I received a call from my subordinates. Fortunately, you didn't leave, so we can meet each other."

"Your museum is really great, and the collections here are even better, making people linger and forget to return. To be honest, the reason why I came to Brussels is because of your museum and "The Death of Marat"!"

Ye Tian said with a light smile, and sent a bunch of free words of praise.

"Thank you for your compliment, Steven, we are the most important art museum in Belgium, with a large collection of paintings and sculptures, some of which are top-notch.

"The Death of Marat" is the treasure of our town hall, which is definitely worthy of careful appreciation. In addition, there is also the "Rubens Hall" we are proud of, which will make everyone who loves art linger and forget.

Of course, if you can transfer the representative painting of Rubens in your hand to us, then our "Rubens Hall" in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts will become even more glorious! "

Maeterlinck said complacently, and also showed his coveting heart.

Regarding the Rubens painting in Ye Tian's hand,

Maeterlinck has been coveting for a long time, and wants to get it in his pocket, and add a top-level artwork of the treasure level to his own museum.

It's a pity that they have a limited budget to buy top-level artworks, and they can't come up with enough exchange conditions to impress Ye Tian, ​​so they can only sigh and sigh, and their eyes are greedy!

When his voice fell, Ye Tian immediately said with a smile:

"Hahaha, Mr. Maeterlinck, as you know, I am a businessman, and the door to trade is always open for the outstanding painting of the master artist Rubens, "Portrait of the Duke of Medici".

If your museum can accept the price I offer, or meet my exchange conditions, then I am very happy to transfer that top-level artwork to you and let it enter your "Rubens Hall"

If you can't do it, then I'm very sorry! As a reminder, that top artwork will be unveiled at this year's New York Autumn Auction. Whether you can win that top artwork depends on your strength! "

"That's a top-level artwork worth tens of millions of dollars. How can our museum have that strength? You guys are really greedy to the extreme, and you won't leave us a chance!"

Maeterlinck said with emotion, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

After chatting for a few words, this man changed the subject again.

"To tell you the truth, Steven, from this morning until just now, I have been at the Swan Restaurant in Brussels' Grand Place, inspecting that ancient building with several other experts and scholars.

I heard Pierre, the manager of the Swan Restaurant, say that you want to buy that old Renaissance-style building, and you are very generous. Is this true or false? "

After finishing speaking, Maeterlinck stared closely at Ye Tian's face, waiting for his answer, his eyes were extremely hot and full of expectation.

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"That's true. I really want to buy the building of the Swan Restaurant. One is because I like the old Renaissance-style building, and the other is because of the special historical significance of that building!"

"It's actually true, you really want to buy that building! Don't say you like that old building, or any other reason, I won't believe it!

You have extremely sharp eyesight, extremely good luck, and you are a professional treasure hunter with no profit, I am sure that your goal is definitely not that building.

Can you tell me the real reason? Did you guys find some treasure, or a valuable antique artwork, so you want to take down that building and have a good time! "

Maeterlinck's guess is very accurate, but will Ye Tian tell him the reason? Obviously impossible, unless the brain is sick!

"You think too much, Maeterlinck, how can there be so many treasures in the world, and all of them fell on my head, God is too kind to me, I just like that ancient building!"

"I still don't believe it, you guys will definitely not be aimless, if it were anyone else, I would probably believe this reason, but you guys can't.

You are an amazing guy, God seems to be family with you, always looking after you guy, anything magical happens to you, it seems normal to me! "

"Since you think so, then I can't help it. I guess you won't believe it no matter how much you explain!"

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression and a bit of complacency in his eyes.

Maeterlinck was about to continue to say something, when suddenly, Ye Tian's cell phone rang in his pocket, and it was from Brother Zhang whom he met yesterday.

After glancing at the caller ID, Ye Tian immediately apologized to Maeterlinck, then slid open the phone screen lock and began to answer the call.

Immediately afterwards, Brother Zhang's nervous voice came from the phone.

"Ye Tian, ​​can you do brother a favor again? Please, we're in the antique shop of that antique liar, negotiating with that damned antique liar.

In addition to my wife and I, the professional lawyer you introduced to us, the cultural counselor of the Chinese embassy in Belgium and two other staff were present.

I followed your suggestion and invited Chinese journalists from major Belgian media, some local news media in Brussels, and two Belgian policemen.

The momentum has already been built, and I have also received an urgent carbon-14 test report. Your identification is correct, it is a high imitation blue and white plum vase fired three years ago, it is worthless!

When we came to this antique shop just now, we directly explained our purpose, showed the carbon 14 test results, and demanded a refund, otherwise we would sue that antique liar in court.

Seeing the carbon-14 test report and our momentum, the grandson was obviously discouraged, but he was stubborn and insisted on an appraisal conclusion from an expert in antique art appraisal.

The grandson claimed that he would only refund the refund after seeing the appraisal conclusion of an authoritative expert. The lawyer wanted me to sue directly, go through legal procedures to recover the losses, and demand a certain amount of spiritual compensation.

But after all, this is a foreign country, not a domestic country. I don't have the time to stay here and argue with an antique scammer. What I want now is to recover the loss as soon as possible, and then return to China immediately.

As for compensation for mental damage, let’s forget it, this is a lesson, and it can also make me remember better. For the appraisal conclusion of an authoritative expert, brother, I can only beg you! "

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Tian immediately said firmly:

"No problem, Brother Zhang, we are all Chinese, we should help each other when we go out, and I can't bear to see my compatriots being ruined by dead foreigners!

Tell me the specific address of the antique shop, I will be there soon, not only me, but this time I can also bring a big figure in the field of Belgian antique art collection! "

As he said that, Ye Tian looked at Maeterlinck with ill intentions, thinking about this old friend.

This is Brussels. Is there a more suitable expert in the identification of antique works of art than this one? That's him!
