Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1286 Entering Diamond Street

Ten minutes later, Ye Tian and his convoy had reached the intersection of Antwerp's Diamond Street and lined up on the side of the road.

This is an S-shaped street, only a few hundred meters long, very close to Antwerp Railway Station. There are ancient buildings of various styles on both sides of the street, and they are quite well preserved!

These ancient buildings on both sides of the street can be traced back to the early 14th century, and they are also from the 17th and 18th centuries. They all have a history of at least two to three hundred years!

The architectural styles are also different, including Romanesque architecture, Gothic architecture, Renaissance architecture, Baroque architecture, etc., which are dazzling and unique.

Walking on this ancient street, people have a feeling of walking on the streets of medieval Europe. It is very emotional, and you can also feel the strong historical charm!

But here is different from other tourist areas, except for a few restaurants and cafes, every shop and company open on this street, their business is related to one thing!

That's diamonds! This kind of stone is not rare, has extremely high hardness, but makes countless women crazy about it!

There are four diamond exchanges in Antwerp, three of which are on this street. There are also many top jewelry stores and the most authoritative diamond appraisal institutions.

Every day, tens of thousands of carats of loose diamonds, under the escort of armed guards, gather on this street from all over the world, and are "verified" by the world's top diamond appraisal experts.

Next, these loose diamonds will be carved and processed by skilled craftsmen in the Antwerp diamond industry, re-identified and traded, and then flow out from here and enter the circulation market around the world.

For those women who love jewelry and diamonds, this is a street that radiates bright light, and every jewelry store on both sides of the street is enough to make them crazy.

In addition to countless women who are crazy about diamonds, this is also the favorite place for many jewelry thieves.

If they can do a big job here, they can retire directly, find a place with beautiful scenery, hide their names and go eat and wait to die!

The jewel thieves who followed Ye Tian and the others saw Ye Tian and the others coming here, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they almost cheered loudly!

"I bet that bastard Steven must have come to participate in today's jewelry and diamond auction, and most likely came here to buy diamonds for his girlfriend, and they are said to be getting married!

At today's jewelry and diamond auction,

There will be many top jewelry diamonds on display, especially the "Oppenheimer Blue", which is known as the largest Fancy Vivid blue diamond in the history of world auctions!

I don't know what the goal of that guy Steven is? With the generosity of that guy's shot, it is very likely that he came for the 'Oppenheimer Blue', if that is the case, great! "

"I hope so, if that bastard Steven takes the 'Oppenheimer's Blue', he will have another priceless treasure besides Queen Mary's top jewels!

At that time, let's find another opportunity to rob. If we succeed, I'm sure all of us will make a fortune, and we can retire directly and enjoy life in the Mediterranean! "

Amidst the discussion, these jewelry thieves from all over the world couldn't help but imagined being surrounded by beauties and enjoying the wonderful life of the sunny beach in the Mediterranean Sea. Everyone's eyes were shining with greed!

Obviously, this is just their unrealistic fantasy, and there is no possibility of realizing it at all.

At this time, they could only stay one or two hundred meters away from Diamond Street, watching from a distance, and did not dare to approach that famous street at all.

There is only one exit at the front and back of Diamond Street, and there are very strong lifting barriers on both sides. It is impossible to drive into that street without permission!

Because of today's jewelry and diamond auction, Diamond Street is heavily guarded at the moment, and there are armed Belgian police and armed security personnel everywhere.

Each of the tourists and staff who enter and exit Diamond Street will be carefully scrutinized and compared secretly through face recognition technology to prevent criminals from taking advantage of troubled waters!

Under such circumstances, those jewel thieves who followed Ye Tian and the others dared not enter this street full of wealth, they could only hide in the distance and wait for an opportunity.

Ye Tian and the others don't have such worries anymore, they are gods who come here to spread wealth, not jewelry thieves or robbers who are plotting evil!

As soon as the convoy stopped, a vice president of Christie's auction house, a head of security, and a person in charge of the Antwerp police walked towards the convoy together!

At the same time, Mattis and Anderson also opened the door and got out of the car, and greeted each other.

When they got closer, after the two sides communicated, got to know each other and confirmed their identities, Mathis and Anderson brought the other party to Ye Tian's car.

Ye Tian didn't get out of the car, but just opened the car door, shook hands with several people on the other side, confirmed their identities, and then ended the communication.

Immediately afterwards, the head of the Antwerp police picked up the walkie-talkie and notified his subordinates to lower the bollard at the entrance of Diamond Street, allowing Ye Tian and the others to enter the street.

Due to the narrowness and limited length of Diamond Street, and in order to cooperate with security, Ye Tian and his convoy did not all enter the street, only three Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs entered!

These three Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs are the car that Ye Tian and Betty are riding in, and the other two SUVs that Mathis and Anderson are riding in!

Several other bulletproof SUVs and the armed security personnel in the vehicles were all left at the intersection, responsible for guarding the perimeter, and could rush into the street at any time to support Ye Tian and the others!

Under the guidance of the vice president of Christie's auction house and the person in charge of security, the three cars that Ye Tian and the others were riding in quickly drove to the gate of Christie's auction house and stopped slowly!

A few minutes later, Ye Tian and the others arrived at a living room next to the auction hall.

At this time, Ye Tian was wearing a casual summer dress and carrying a silver-gray titanium alloy portable safe in his hand, which was very eye-catching!

Seeing the portable safe in his hand, everyone knew in their hearts that what was contained in it must be those pieces of top jewelry that belonged to Queen Mary and caused a huge sensation!

As soon as he entered the reception room, Ye Tian saw several guys in suits and leather shoes greet him, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces.

Walking closer, the leading caucasian man in his fifties immediately said enthusiastically:

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, nice to meet you! I am the general manager of the Belgian branch of Christie's auction house, Henry, welcome to Antwerp and welcome to Christie's!"

Ye Tian shook hands with the other party, smiled and said:

"Good morning, Mr. Henry, nice to meet you too, Antwerp is a very beautiful city, I like it here!"

Immediately afterwards, Henry introduced several people around him, including a vice president of Christie's, an expert in antique art appraisal, and an expert in jewelry and diamond appraisal.

Because Antwerp is located in the Dutch-speaking area, Christie's auction house also provided Ye Tian with a Dutch translator. She was a female employee of Christie's auction house in her early thirties!

In addition, Henry also introduced Ye Tian to the auctioneer who presided over today's jewelry and diamond auction. He is a white-glove auctioneer who is quite famous in the field of jewelry auctions!

Afterwards, Ye Tian also introduced a few people around him, except for a few armed security personnel standing a little later.

After getting acquainted with each other and exchanging a few polite greetings, Henry and the others looked at the portable safe in Ye Tian's hands, their eyes shining brightly, and their eyes were extremely hot.

"Mr. Steven, if I'm not mistaken, this portable safe should contain the top pieces of jewelry that once belonged to Queen Mary, right?"

Henry asked, pointing to the safe, with an excited expression and full of expectation.

The same goes for the others, all staring at the titanium alloy portable safe.

"You guessed it right, Mr. Henry, what is contained in this portable safe is indeed the top jewelry that I found in Brussels yesterday and belonged to Queen Mary.

Because of the rush of time, I took them with me and didn't send them to a vault for storage. When this auction is over, I will find a trustworthy vault to store them! "

Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, not hiding anything from the other party.

"Steven, if possible, can you let us admire some of the top jewelry pieces? Especially the famous diamond necklace, I really want to see that diamond necklace that is said to be unprecedented!"

The jewelry and diamond appraisal expert on the opposite side said eagerly, eyes full of anticipation.

As soon as his words fell, Henry went on to say:

"How to deal with these top-level jewelry? Steven, I wonder if you have thought about it? If you are going to send these priceless treasures to auction, I hope you can choose Christie's!

Although we are meeting for the first time, you have cooperated with Christie's auction house many times, and we are very happy with each other without any problems. I believe it will be the same this time.

If you are willing to entrust these priceless treasures to our auction house, then we will give you the best conditions and formulate the best promotion strategy, and the auction results will definitely satisfy you! "

Ye Tian glanced at the few people in front of him, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"I'm very sorry, gentlemen, but due to safety concerns and limited time, I can't show you the few pieces of top jewelry here, please forgive me!

When this jewelry and diamond auction is over, if there is more time, I will show you the few pieces of jewelry that once belonged to Queen Mary, so that you can enjoy them!

Mr. Henry, regarding how to deal with those priceless treasures, I have already made a decision. Those top jewelry pieces will not be sent for auction. I am very sorry that we cannot cooperate this time! "

"Hey! That's such a pity! I hope we can cooperate again in the future!"

Henry sighed, his tone full of regret.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few more words, and the time was approaching 10:30 in the morning. Today's top jewelry and diamond auction is about to start!
