Treasure Hunt all over the World

After the exhibition was set up, Ye Tian and the others left the independent exhibition hall and went to the office area of ​​the Metropolitan Museum. There were still some necessary procedures to go.

When walking out of the exhibition hall, everyone saw that many people had gathered at the entrance, waiting to enter the exhibition hall for a visit. The queue was quite spectacular, winding and winding down the stairs to the gate of the museum.

Without exception, everyone in the queue was very excited and full of expectations.

There are tourists and art lovers from all over the United States and even from all over the world, as well as some college, middle and primary school students carrying portfolios and preparing to copy, as well as some professional or amateur painters.

Of course, there are also many professionals in the field of antique art collection here, and many of them are very familiar faces, and they are all old friends of Ye Tian.

Outside the museum, countless tourists and art lovers heard the news and lined up at the entrance of the Metropolitan Museum, waiting to enter the museum.

The works of art they will visit are, of course, Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", as well as several other top antique works of art from Napoleon's treasure.

Coming out of the exhibition hall, everyone was shocked when they saw the hustle and bustle of people outside.

This is too enthusiastic, perhaps this is the great charm of the three masters of Renaissance art.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian joked and said:

"Thomas, judging from the grand occasion in front of me, I was too generous when I signed the loan agreement. Obviously, I should greatly increase the ticket price and increase the ticket share ratio. That would be reasonable."

Hearing his words, many high-level executives of the Metropolitan Museum rolled their eyes angrily, and each of them complained secretly!

Are you generous asshole? Go ahead and lie to ghosts, even ghosts probably won't believe it.

"Steven, you guys are so greedy, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is completely losing money for this exhibition, not only can't make any money, but it also has to pay a lot of costs.

You guys have earned all the benefits, so you're still not satisfied with that? Greed is not enough! This is Raphael and Michelangelo, otherwise we would never do this loss-making business! "

That being said, Thomas' old face was about to die of laughter, which was a reflection of his true emotions.

For the Metropolitan Museum, the sensational effect and huge influence brought by this public exhibition,

It can't be measured by money at all!

You know, those are the peak works of Raphael and Michelangelo! There are not many works in the United States, let alone two works appearing in one exhibition hall at the same time, which has never appeared in the United States!

What's more, this is the first public exhibition after their disappearance for more than 200 years. It will definitely cause a huge sensation and attract countless attentions. No museum will miss this kind of god-given opportunity.

Even if it is losing money and making money, there will be countless museums trying to grab this opportunity.

And this time the lucky one is the Metropolitan Museum. Although Thomas said that in his mouth, he was so happy in his heart that his nose was so beautiful!

Furthermore, although the Metropolitan Museum does not make much money in this independent exhibition hall, it can make a lot of money in other places!

Those tourists and art lovers who flock to visit must buy a joint ticket, which is a little higher than the normal ticket price, and the higher part is the ticket price of the independent exhibition hall!

Ye Tian took more than half of the ticket price of the independent exhibition hall, and the part of the normal ticket price has nothing to do with him!

In the current crowded situation, the Metropolitan Museum can make a lot of money just from ticket sales, not to mention other benefits, such as sales of various souvenirs and so on.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration for Ye Tian to say that he is the one who suffers!

But there is no way, who told him not to have his own private museum! It can only use the Metropolitan Museum or other top museums to build momentum and expand its influence.

In the United States, the Metropolitan Museum is clearly the best choice, there is no more suitable than it.

In fact, Ye Tian didn't care about the ticket revenue at all.

The reason why he agreed to the Met's loan request was to use the opportunity to further establish his undisputed ownership of Napoleon's treasure.

In the process, Raphael and Michelangelo, the Metropolitan Museum, the upcoming Pope, and enthusiastic tourists and art lovers are all his targets!

As soon as Thomas finished speaking, another senior member of the Metropolitan Museum immediately said:

"You have also seen the situation in front of you, Steven. It can be said that the event is unprecedented. Can we continue to cooperate and hold a special exhibition on Napoleon's treasure?"

Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then nodded with a smile and said:

"This is a very good suggestion, worth exploring, after I return from Boston, let's discuss this issue, it is too early now"

Hearing this, surprise flashed across the faces of Thomas and the high-level members of the Metropolitan Museum.

"It's great, Steven, if there is a special exhibition on Napoleon's treasures, it will definitely cause a bigger sensation, and I look forward to that day"

Thomas said excitedly, his eyes shining brightly.

While speaking, everyone had left the entrance of the exhibition hall along the special passage, and walked towards the stairs not far away.

...

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, after having lunch with many senior officials of the Metropolitan Museum, Ye Tian and the others just left the Metropolitan Museum.

At this time, the public display of these two top works of art, Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", has caused a huge sensation.

More and more tourists and art lovers are coming here, ready to appreciate these two masterpieces, so as not to miss this rare opportunity.

Several national public television stations in the United States have invited art critics to make special reports on this public exhibition, and they are also creating momentum for Ye Tian!

After leaving the museum and getting in the car on the side of Fifth Avenue, Ye Tian immediately said through the wireless headset:

"Matisse, inform the guys, go to the Federal Reserve headquarters building, it's time to negotiate with those old foxes Christopher, sell that batch of nacui gold, so as not to have long nights and dreams"

"Okay, Steven"

Mattis responded, and the notification went on.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy convoy started briskly, leaving the crowded square in front of the Metropolitan Museum, and headed straight for the Federal Reserve Headquarters building on Wall Street.

The convoy hadn't gone far, and Ye Tian asked again through the wireless headset:

"Kenny, have you found out? What happened to those idiots who committed suicide just now? Is there any news from the New York police? What are the casualties of those idiots?"

After the words fell, Kenny's excited voice came over immediately.

"Found it, Steven, those idiots just now are all from Philadelphia, a total of nine people, the two cars they drove were both stolen from New Jersey, but they had New York license plates.

In the shootout just now, none of those idiots escaped. Six of them were killed on the spot, and the other three were all seriously injured. The price paid by the New York police was also very heavy.

From the injured three idiots, the police got some information. It is said that those idiots were hired by someone, and that employer asked them to come to New York and paid a deposit.

After arriving in Manhattan, that employer told those idiots to let those idiots rob your escort convoy, and the targets were those two paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo!

As for who the employer is, no one knows! One of the guys who got hurt said they never saw the employer, who was on the phone and never showed up.

I checked the call logs of those idiots, found the cell phone number of the mystery employer, and then checked the call logs of that cell phone number to see if I could find anything.

It was a throwaway bearer number, only contacted by the bosses of the idiots, and the signal on that cell phone number disappeared as soon as the shootout broke out in lower Manhattan.

Obviously, the mysterious employer was very cautious and vigilant. During the process of manipulating the robbery by remote control, almost no flaws were revealed, so it is difficult to continue to trace it."

Hearing this briefing, a sneer appeared on Ye Tian's face immediately.

"It's interesting. It seems that we have met a master. I don't know who this mysterious employer is? I really want to get to know this guy and have a good fight with him.

In the field of antique art collections, it is not uncommon for mysterious buyers to appoint art orders and hire robbers or art robbers to rob and steal.

Europeans love to steal art in this way, and a famous art theft a few years ago, the theft of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, used this method.

If I'm not wrong, the mysterious employer should be from Europe, or a bad collector, or a super rich man, or even a certain European government"

While Ye Tian was analyzing the identity of the mysterious employer, the motorcade had already driven through the streets and returned to Lower Manhattan again.

The many New York police officers who were on guard on the streets of Lower Manhattan saw that the convoy had returned, and all of them gritted their teeth angrily, with their eyes spitting fire, but there was nothing they could do!
