Treasure Hunt all over the World

In a luxurious suite of the Plaza Hotel, Ye Tian and the others met Santiago Calatrava, who is known as the top ten architects in the world today.

This is a Hispanic man with a fairer complexion, about sixty years old, wearing a pair of glasses, with a thin figure, and looks quite refined.

After seeing this world-renowned architectural design master, Ye Tian immediately stepped forward to shake hands with him, and greeted him warmly.

"Good morning, Mr. Santiago, I'm Steven, we met on video before, welcome to New York, nice to meet you here, long time to see you"

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am also very happy to meet you. I have heard your name countless times during this period of time, and now I finally meet you in person."

Calatrava said politely, looking at Ye Tian with curiosity and envy.

Next, Ye Tian introduced Jason and David who followed him, as well as the boy Logan.

When it was his turn to introduce Logan, before he could speak, the excited kid immediately took the lead and said incoherently:

"Mr. Santiago, nice to meet you, I'm Logan, I'm from MIT, I'm currently a graduate student, I'm your admirer, I really like the classic buildings you designed and built.

Steven is my sister's husband, he wanted to build his own private museum, because I was studying architecture, so he called me to New York, I hope I can take this opportunity to practice and exercise”

As far as Calatrava is concerned, he has seen too many such admirers, and even more fanatical admirers abound, and he has long been familiar with it.

He dealt with Logan politely, and asked some of Logan's teachers at MIT, who were all his friends.

And in his heart, he didn't take this fledgling guy too seriously, thinking that it was just Ye Tian's nepotism, and he might not have real talents.

After getting acquainted with David and Logan, Calatrava also introduced his two assistants, the secretary and others, and then invited Ye Tian and the others into the living room.

After everyone entered the living room and sat down on the sofa, they chatted casually.

Calatrava did not immediately get to the point, asking Ye Tian about the design and construction of the private museum, but asked about the process of exploring the treasure of the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail.

As a Westerner and getting older, Calatrava, like many Westerners, is very concerned about the reappearance of the Holy Grail.

In addition, he is a man, so he is naturally very interested in adventure and treasure exploration.

Ye Tian, ​​the top treasure hunter who discovered the famous treasure of the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail, is right in front of his eyes at this moment, how could he let go of this opportunity.

Ye Tian didn't refuse. He briefly introduced his process of exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar and discovering the Holy Grail and other religious relics, with some spring and autumn brushwork inevitably added.

Following his introduction, Calatrava, several of his assistants, and the accompanying staff could not help being fascinated and deeply attracted.

It wasn't until seven or eight minutes later that Ye Tian stopped talking, and these people immediately woke up.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of emotion at the scene, and everyone's voice was full of envy.

When the emotions of these people have stabilized a little, everyone will enter the topic of today's meeting.

"Steven, tell me about your private museum building. I have carefully reviewed the information you sent before, and I am also very interested in this design business, but I still want to hear your personal explanation and vision! "

Calatrava said with a smile, still curious in his eyes.

When it came to the design and construction of the museum, the top architectural design master immediately entered the role, appearing very professional.

The same is true for the staff under him, who have entered the working state.

"Okay San Diego"

Ye Tian nodded in response, and then began to introduce himself to build a private museum.

"As you know, I am a professional treasure hunter, and my Daring Dauntless Exploration Company is a treasure hunting company. To put it bluntly, both myself and my company are the top in the industry.

In addition, my eyesight is not bad, and my luck has always been very good. We have discovered many famous treasures one after another, such as the treasure of the Knights Templar this time, and we have also gained a lot in other aspects.”

Hearing this, Calatrava and his assistants sitting opposite couldn't help complaining secretly.

Is your guy lucky? It's simply luck, okay?

Who doesn't know, God will always stand with you, and all the good things will fall on your head, but others can't even get a hair, they can only stand aside and envy, it's so unfair!

Of course, this is just the mental activity of Calatrava and others, and it has not been resorted to.

For the subtle changes in their expressions, Ye Tian didn't seem to notice, and continued to say happily:

"With the discovery of treasures one by one, as well as other channels of harvest, coupled with the transactions with many famous museums around the world, I have accumulated more and more top-level antique artworks.

A small part of these top antique artworks have been traded out by me in various ways. In the ongoing New York spring auction season, many top antique artworks have flowed out of my hands!

However, most of the top antique works of art are still in my hands, and the ones that remain in my hands are basically the best. It is no exaggeration to say that almost every piece of these antique works of art is priceless.

With so many top-level antique works of art in my hands, how to preserve them has become a big problem. If they are always stored in some vaults that are not seen by the sun, it will be suspected of being violent.

I am not only a professional treasure hunter, but also an expert in the identification of top antique works of art. I don't want to see these top antique works of art stored in the vault for a long time, aging a little bit in the dark.

They should be displayed in front of the public, bloom the most brilliant cultural and artistic brilliance, and maximize their due value. In view of this, I was born with the idea of ​​building a private museum.

When my private museum is completed, all these top antique artworks in my hands will be displayed in the museum for people to appreciate and taste, so that people can experience the great charm of history and art up close.

The number of top antique artworks displayed in my private museum may not be as large as the top museums such as the Louvre and the Metropolitan, but I can guarantee that the quality is definitely not inferior to any of them! "

"Wow! Steven, the quality of your private museum's collection is actually comparable to that of the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum. This is too exaggerated!"

Calatrava exclaimed directly, somewhat startled by Ye Tian's words.

At the same time, he became more interested in the design business, and his eyes lit up.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and said confidently:

"Santiago, when my private museum officially opens, you will know if what I said is true. It can be said that in some respects, the Louvre and the British Museum are far inferior to my private museum.

Let’s talk about building a private museum again. After the idea came up, I was thinking about building a private museum there. In my mind, there are only two places to choose from, that is New York and Beijing.

New York already has the Metropolitan Museum and MOMA, a collection of various museums, all of which are of a high level. Although Beijing also has many top-level museums, there is nothing in the display of Western antiques.

After much deliberation, I chose Beijing, and then started a series of related work. I bought a piece of land in a prime location in the center of Beijing, next to the Forbidden City, and planned to use it to build my private museum.

When we reported our plan to build a private museum, the Beijing municipal government was very supportive and gave us a lot of convenience. Now we have obtained the land development permit and completed other procedures.

The first task now is to design. Once the design is approved by me, construction can begin immediately. I plan to build a private museum with an exhibition area of ​​no less than 100,000 square meters on that land! "

"Oh my god! Steven, did I hear you right? You are building the world's top comprehensive museum! Which private museum has an area of ​​100,000 square meters? It's unheard of!"

Calatrava jumped up from the sofa, and was frightened by Ye Tian's huge ambition again, even more than before.

"That's right! I just want to build the world's top comprehensive museum, and it's unique!"

Ye Tian nodded firmly and said, his words and expressions were full of confidence.
