Treasure Hunt all over the World

? On the first floor of the Louvre, Napoleon III restaurant.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Martinez got to the point.

"Steven, the management of the Guimet Museum, after discussion and with the consent of the Louvre and the French Ministry of Culture, is willing to exchange the collection of Chinese antique artworks for Queen Mary's jewelry.

Of course, this art transaction is conditional, you can't let this guy talk like a lion and ask for prices! If so, I'm sure you guys will absolutely loot the Guimet Museum! "

"Hahaha, I'm exaggerating! Martinez, I'm not as greedy as you say! Those are just some false rumors, not credible!

I have always paid attention to fair trade in business, no deception! Regarding this point, it can be said that everyone knows that the situation you are worried about will never happen! "

Ye Tian said with a light smile, his expression was a little helpless, as if he had been wronged.

Fair trade, fair play? Do you believe this nonsense? Anyway, we don't believe it even if we beat him to death!

Several French people on the opposite side all rolled their eyes, no one believed Ye Tian's nonsense at all.

Betty and the others suppressed their smiles with great difficulty.

Martinez didn't dwell on the issue, and went on to say:

"The conditions of the Jimei Museum are as follows: Including the bronze elephant statue you named from the late Yin and Shang Dynasties, no more than 20 Chinese antique works of art can be exchanged.

If it exceeds this number, this transaction will have to fail, and we will carefully select the Chinese antique artworks for transaction, not all collections can be used for transaction!

According to the conditions you put forward, you can go to the Jimei Museum to select and exchange Chinese antique artworks. The antique artworks in the exhibition hall and stored in the warehouse are all optional! "

After the voice fell, the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Tian, ​​expecting his answer.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Tian nodded and said:

"The Jimei Museum is only willing to take out 20 pieces of Chinese antique art! To be honest, this number is indeed a bit small, but it is not unacceptable. I can accept this exchange ratio!

but,

This artwork transaction must be based on the market value of those jewelry and corresponding Chinese antique artworks, and the sum of the target values ​​of both parties must be equal, so as to be fair.

We are all insiders, and everyone knows the value of Queen Mary's jewelry and the Chinese antique artworks used for exchange.

As for works of art whose value is difficult to estimate, such as the famous diamond necklace, we can negotiate again to determine a price acceptable to both parties, and then exchange.

If the value doesn't match, then I'm sorry, this art transaction can only fail, I am a professional treasure hunter, this is my business, and I must not lose money and make money!

One thing I must emphasize in advance is that the Chinese antiques used for exchange must be selected by me at the Guimet Museum. Everyone has their own preferences, and I am no exception.

If the transaction is successfully completed, you Louvre Museum and Guimet Museum, as well as the French Ministry of Culture, must issue a legal departure certificate for the Chinese antique art I traded, and it must be tax-free!

I believe this is not difficult to understand. I found that the location of Queen Mary's jewelry is not in France, but in Brussels, Belgium, so I am not obliged to pay taxes for France.

If nothing else, the location of our transaction is not in France, either in Antwerp, Belgium, or on the high seas, which can avoid many unnecessary troubles.

I might as well tell you that once the transaction is completed, I will immediately transport those Chinese antique artworks. Their destination is Beijing, China, and that is where they should exist most!

Because of this, I ask your two museums and the French Ministry of Culture to issue corresponding certificates in order to pass through EU customs smoothly, and also to prove the ownership of those antique works of art! "

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian smiled and looked at the French people opposite, waiting for their response.

This time, the silent people were replaced by those Frenchmen opposite, all of them looked very dignified, and their eyes were full of fear.

At this time, Martinez and the others had already cursed crazily in secret.

"Fack! Steven, the damned bastard, is extremely cunning and cautious! He is absolutely invulnerable, and he is so difficult to deal with!"

After pondering for a moment, Martinez gritted his molars and said:

"Okay, Steven, I agree with what you just said, the transaction must be based on market value, based on a fair basis, which is beneficial to both parties.

We can also agree to the conditions you put forward. You can take the lead in this art transaction, and we will also issue legal certificates for those Chinese antique artworks.

As for the tax issue, I can't give you a clear answer for the time being. Judging from the current situation, you should not have to pay taxes in France. We don't care what the Belgians do!

Now there is only one last question left, when are you going to go to the Guimet Museum to pick out Chinese antique art for trade? I want it as soon as possible, if possible! "

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and gave an answer that Martinez didn't really want to hear.

"Don't worry, Martinez, although the Louvre Museum and the Guimet Museum have agreed to exchange, but there is no news from the Fontainebleau Palace, I would like to hear the terms they offer.

After the Palace of Fontainebleau offers conditions and carefully compares and weighs them, I will decide to trade with that museum. Since it is a business, I must choose the one with the best conditions! "

Hearing these words, the French people on the opposite side were so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven! Almost screaming, jumping and cursing, everyone is gnashing their teeth in hatred!

Clearly up for grabs! He's so outrageous, what an out-and-out bastard, so greedy to the extreme!

Ye Tian simply turned a blind eye to the anger of Martinez and the others. He smiled and said to himself:

"Furthermore, my schedule is very full these days. Tomorrow I will visit the Paris Museum of Modern Art, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the glamorous Champs-Elysées.

Notre-Dame de Paris, the Palace of Versailles, and several other famous museums, these attractions are not to be missed, who let this be Paris! A city that dazzles and lingers! "

Having said all this, what else can those Frenchmen on the opposite side say?

They could only suppress their anger and continue to discuss the details of this transaction with Ye Tian, ​​trying to keep Queen Mary's jewelry in the Louvre!

Time passed quickly, more than half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and it was past the closing time of the Louvre.

After the negotiation was over, Ye Tian declined Martinez's invitation to have dinner together, and was about to leave the Louvre and return to Hotel Regina.

While getting up to shake hands with Martinez, Ye Tian jokingly said:

"Martinez, there is one thing that I am very curious about. I have always wanted to know the answer. I wonder if you can answer it. What is buried under the tip of the inverted glass pyramid on the basement floor?

I have watched Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" and the movie of the same name starring Tom Hanks. "The Da Vinci Code" says that the Holy Grail is buried under the tip of the inverted pyramid!

According to Dan Brown, the Holy Grail is the sarcophagus of Jesus' companion, Mary Magdalene. Is this true? If it's true, wonder if we'll be lucky enough to see that Christian relic? "

Hearing these words, Martinez immediately smiled helplessly.

"You are not the only one who asked me this question, Steven, at least hundreds of people asked me the same question before you, which shows the great influence of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code"!

But that's just a bestseller, and Dan Brown is just a bestselling author, not an archaeologist, nor an expert in the identification of antique artworks. What he said is simply unbelievable!

I can tell you very clearly that the underground directly opposite the tip of the inverted glass pyramid is the warehouse of our Louvre Museum, where some sculptures are stored and are not open to the public.

As for the holy relic of Christianity, the sarcophagus of Mary Magdalene, I really hope to find it, and I hope it is in the Louvre, but unfortunately, that is just a hope, and it has not become a reality! "

Ye Tian is naturally very clear about the authenticity of Martinez's words.

When he entered the Louvre in the morning and passed the basement level, he secretly turned on the perspective, and saw the situation under the ground facing the tip of the inverted glass pyramid!

Under that piece of ground, there is indeed a huge warehouse, which stores a lot of valuable sculptures that radiate dazzling light, and there are a lot of them!

As for the sarcophagus of Mary Magdalene and the Holy Grail, they don't exist at all!

Next, under the leadership of the person in charge of the security of the Louvre Museum and several security personnel, Ye Tian and the others went down to the basement level again, and left the Louvre Museum through the main entrance of the glass pyramid!

Seeing the back of Ye Tian leaving easily, Martinez and the others, without exception, were itching with hatred, and everyone's eyes were full of fear.
