Treasure Hunt all over the World

? After the explanation, Ye Tian quietly admired the bronze statue for a while, then turned to face Martinez and the others, and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, if I choose to make an exchange with the Guimet Asian Art Museum, this bronze statue must be included as a condition of the deal.

As you may know, I have a personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City. After I get this bronze statue, I will transport it back to Beijing and display it in my personal exhibition hall! "

Hearing his words, Martinez and the others couldn't help laughing wryly, with expressions of pain.

"Steven, from the first time you mentioned the bronze elephant statue in Antwerp, we knew that if we want to get the three pieces of Queen Mary's jewelry, we must lose the bronze elephant statue!

Since we can accept your conditions and make a deal with you, it means that we are ready to lose this treasure of the town hall, even if it is a very regrettable and painful decision!

We have also heard about your personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City. Who would have thought that this bronze elephant statue would return to China in this way and through your hands after leaving China for more than a hundred years! "

Martinez said with a wry smile, somewhat unwilling.

"This bronze elephant statue is a national treasure in ancient China and one of the best evidences of China's 5,000-year splendid civilization history. The place where it should exist is China!

I am sure that only in that ancient land can this bronze statue shine the most brilliant light, and only the people living in that land know how to appreciate it the most! "

Ye Tian said emotionally, and looked back at the magnificent bronze elephant statue again.

"Steven, I don't really agree with what you said. Countries have borders, but culture and art have no borders. Even in France, this bronze statue can radiate brilliant light of civilization!"

Florent continued, shaking her head like a rattle.

Now of course you can say that, it sounds very tall, and this is also your usual excuse!

But, I hope you can still say the same when you come up with the treasure of Napoleon buried on the Isle of Cité, insisting that culture and art have no national boundaries, then thank you buddy!

Ye Tian complained secretly, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes!

Of course, this is his inner activities, but what he said is something else!

"Everyone's point of view is different.

Everyone has their own opinions, there is no need to argue about this issue, just continue to visit, I am also very interested in the group of early Western Zhou bronzes, "Ling Gui"! "

Ye Tian said with a light smile, and then pointed to the location of the group of Western Zhou bronze vessels "Ling Gui".

Before he finished speaking, the expressions of many Frenchmen on the scene changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly!

Without the slightest hesitation, Florent, the curator of the Guimet Museum, shook his head firmly and said:

"Steven, you are really greedy to the extreme, the bronze elephant statue and the group of early Western Zhou bronzes "Ling Gui" are the two most important Chinese bronzes in our museum collection!

You bastard actually wants to catch them all in one go and keep them all in your pocket, this is simply wishful thinking! Impossible, this is not the flea market of Saint-Ouen, where you can loot like crazy!

You can only get one of the bronze elephant statue and the group of early Western Zhou bronzes "Linggui". If you replace both of the heavy vessels, then our museum's bronze collection will be over! "

"Don't worry, Florent, I just said that I am very interested in the group of Western Zhou bronze vessels "Linggui", I didn't say that I must get it, you don't need to be so angry!

Let's go and admire the group of Western Zhou bronzes. I am very interested in the inscriptions engraved on the group of "Ling Gui", and I am even more interested in the ancient history hidden behind it! "

Ye Tian said with a light smile, comforting the many French guys who were about to get impatient.

He knew very well in his heart that it was almost impossible to exchange for the bronze elephant statue and the "Ling Gui" of the Western Zhou Dynasty at the same time, unless the heads of these guys from the Jimei Museum were kicked by donkeys!

Florent was right. If both the bronze elephant statue and the "Linggui" of the Western Zhou Dynasty were lost at the same time, the collection of Chinese bronzes in the Jimei Museum would completely collapse, and it would be reduced to mediocrity in an instant!

After calming down his excitement a little, Florent said:

"Okay, Steven, let's go and enjoy the set of "Ling Gui" from the Western Zhou Dynasty, please come with me!"

After finishing speaking, the Frenchman stepped out and walked towards the display stand where the set of "Ling Gui" from the Western Zhou Dynasty was placed.

The others followed, as did Ye Tian and Betty. While admiring the other Chinese antique artworks displayed in the exhibition hall, they walked towards the "Ling Gui" of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Time passed quickly, and it was six o'clock in the afternoon in a blink of an eye, and it was the closing time of the Jimei Museum.

After the visit, Ye Tian and the others, accompanied by a group of Frenchmen, left the exhibition area and returned to the lobby on the first floor of the Jimei Museum.

In the past few hours, Ye Tian and the others have been looking at the flowers like a horse on horseback, wandering around the three exhibition areas of the Jimei Museum displaying Chinese antiques, ancient China, classical China, and Buddhist China!

Next, under the leadership of Florent, they went to the underground antique art warehouse of the Guimet Museum and admired the museum's inventory of Chinese antique art.

Due to the rush of time and the large number of Chinese antique artworks in the collection of the Guimet Museum, it is impossible to take a closer look at them one by one, so we can only browse them roughly!

Some of them were antique artworks packed in boxes. Ye Tian and the others didn't even see the actual objects, they just browsed the inventory catalog and knew that there were those antique artworks!

During this period, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective many times, and looked at the Chinese antique artworks in the Jimei Museum, without missing a single piece!

In just a few short hours, he has become familiar with the collection of Chinese antique artworks in the Jimet Museum, and his understanding is very thorough, far surpassing those experts in the identification of antique artworks in the Jimet Museum!

Of course, including the curator of the Guimet Museum, Florent!

Back in the hall on the first floor of the museum, after chatting for a while, Martinez immediately asked:

"Steven, you have read the collection of Chinese antiques in the Guimet Museum, and you must have chosen to exchange those jewels of Queen Mary. Can you tell me?"

As his words fell, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his answer.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Indeed, in the process of visiting the collection of Chinese antique artworks in the Guimet Museum, I did choose the antique artworks for exchange that fascinated me, and I can tell you about them.

Before that, I must say that the Jimei Museum deserves to be the museum with the largest collection of Chinese antiques outside of China. Those exquisite Chinese antiques are simply breathtaking!

To be honest, it is very difficult to choose 20 favorite treasures among the tens of thousands of valuable Chinese antique works of art, and it is also very difficult to choose. Fortunately, I have completed this job!

Next, I will talk about the 20 selected Chinese antique works of art. The first treasure, as you must have guessed, is the bronze elephant statue from the late Yin and Shang Dynasties, and it is also the most important one.

In addition to the bronze elephant statue, there are two other bronze wares from ancient China that also fascinate me. One is a square tripod with four legs cast in the late Western Zhou Dynasty with inscriptions, and the Ge was cast in the Spring and Autumn Period!

Let’s talk about the works of art in calligraphy and painting, two masterpieces from the heyday of Tang Dynasty in Dunhuang, which represent the influence of the art of the heyday in the Buddhist world, "Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Riding an Elephant" and "Portrait of a Pedestrian Monk" also fascinated me!

Also from Dunhuang, the "Water Moon Avalokitesvara" painted in the Five Dynasties period, I also really want to keep it in my pocket. The painting on paper and ink is a collection of different cultural factors, which is of great research value! "

Hearing this, the complexions of many Frenchmen at the scene were already dark, as dark as the bottom of a pot! Everyone's eyes were bursting with anger, wishing they could rush up and beat Ye Tian up and vent their anger!

There is no other reason why they are so angry, just because the treasures listed by Ye Tianluo are all fine works of Chinese antique art in the Jimei Museum collection, and each one is a real priceless treasure!

Although the anger was abnormal, Martinez and the others forcibly suppressed their anger and did not explode immediately!

They also want to see how greedy this crazy bastard can be, and how amazing his appetite can be!

Ye Tian saw Martinez and the others' reactions.

He also knew very well why the eyes of these Frenchmen were as angry as anyone else's, no exception!

However, he didn't take all this to heart, and he still listed pieces of valuable Chinese antique artworks, showing his amazing appetite to his heart's content.

"There are also several works of calligraphy and painting that also fascinate me. The "Snow River Picture" by Wang Wei, a famous poet and painter of the Tang Dynasty in China, "Twilight in the Autumn Forest" by Jing Hao of the Five Dynasties,..."
