Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 2750 Right of first refusal
In the banquet hall, representatives of various parties and many experts and scholars are gathering around the tables, appreciating and appraising the first batch of top oil paintings on display.
Looking at these top-level works of art that have never been seen before and are priceless, everyone at the scene was extremely excited. Everyone felt like witnessing history, and their eyes were shining!
As in the past, Ye Tian once again took on the responsibility of explaining, introducing these priceless top artworks to everyone present, and giving his own appraisal conclusion.
At the same time, he also showed the two books he had discovered to the people present to support this amazing discovery and his own appraisal conclusion.
"Gentlemen, at the end of this catalog of antique art collections of the Duke of Milan's royal family, the member of the royal family named Francis used a handwritten Italian text to clearly record the origin and inheritance of these top art works.
Without exception, the top works of art in front of everyone were once the most important collection of works of art of the Royal Family of the Duke of Milan. The reason why Francis hid them was to prevent these priceless treasures from being looted by Napoleon.
However, Francis just hid them, but did not take them out again. According to my estimation, Francis himself was destroyed by Napoleon just like the Duchy of Milan, and this batch of top artworks has been hidden until now.
Fortunately, we discovered these top artworks and did not let them disappear completely, so you can see them here, appreciate these oil paintings from top art masters, and appreciate the beauty of these top artworks! .
The origin of each oil painting here is very clear, and the line of inheritance is clear and unquestionable. These two books record the date and price of the Milan royal family's purchase of them. There is no doubt that this is the most powerful identification basis! "
While saying these words, Ye Tian turned one of the books directly to the end.
At the end of this book, there is a piece of yellowed letter paper, which is full of Italian words, and all of them are handwritten. Those are the words left by Francis.
Listening to Ye Tian's words, looking at these two books and the text left by Francis, everyone at the scene nodded their heads, and there was no doubt about the authenticity of this batch of top art works!
Undoubtedly, these dozen or so oil paintings are all priceless top works of art.
Because the origin is clear, the inheritance is orderly, and it is related to the royal family of the Duke of Milan and many major historical events, the value of these top oil paintings will also rise and become more expensive!
Thinking of this,
Everyone at the scene was almost crazy with envy, and some guys even had red eyes with jealousy, wishing they could take Ye Tian's place and take these priceless top artworks for themselves.
As for the many Italians at the scene, everyone felt that their hearts were bleeding, and they were secretly complaining!
Damn it! In order to avoid Napoleon's looting, Francis hid these top artworks, and he also achieved his goal, successfully preventing these top artworks from being looted by Napoleon.
But who would have thought that today, more than 200 years later, this batch of top artworks would be looted by this bastard, Steven, and the result is still doomed!
If he knew this result, Francis, who had been dead for more than 200 years, would probably be so angry that he lied to his body!
In the blink of an eye, twenty minutes passed.
Seeing that everyone at the scene had already appreciated the first batch of oil paintings on display, Ye Tian asked his company employees to put away these top oil paintings, and then began to display the next batch of oil paintings.
Soon, it was ten o'clock in the evening.
All the top artworks discovered today have been displayed, and then they were put away by Derek and put into telescopic painting tubes one by one.
Seeing these priceless oil paintings being put away, everyone at the scene looked reluctant to part with them, but they were very helpless. Who let these top-level artworks not be theirs?
The next moment, the lights of this banquet hall were brightly lit up, illuminating the scene brightly and sweeping away the previous darkness.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian walked to the front of the banquet hall, stretched out his hands with a smile on his face, and gently pressed down, motioning for everyone to be quiet.
Following his actions, the originally noisy scene quickly quieted down. Everyone looked at him, and everyone's eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you again for your appreciation and for coming to this small appreciation meeting. Just now, everyone has seen this batch of top art works from the treasures of the Duchy of Milan and witnessed this miracle together.
Since these top oil paintings have been hidden for too long and have been isolated from the world for a long time, they are somewhat fragile. From the perspective of protection, I asked my staff to put away these oil paintings. I hope everyone can understand.
So far, the first part of this small appreciation meeting tonight has ended, and then we will enter the second part. I believe everyone has heard that I don’t collect religious antiques!
Half of the top artworks from the Duchy of Milan have a strong religious color, and the contents of the paintings are all related to Bible stories, which are not within the scope of my collection, and the other half of the artworks have nothing to do with religion.”
Hearing this, the scene immediately boiled.
Everyone at the scene seemed to have just had a tube of chicken blood, and suddenly became more excited. Everyone's eyes were shining, staring at Ye Tian and the dozen or so telescopic painting tubes.
Especially many high-ranking government officials headed by the mayor of Milan, high-level officials of major museums, as well as many super rich and top collectors, their eyeballs instantly turned red!
As long as you are not an idiot, you can hear the subtext in Ye Tian's words.
Obviously, he was going to sell those top-level works of art with strong religious overtones on the spot, and he collected the other half of oil paintings that had nothing to do with religion!
Thinking of this, can those who are interested in this batch of top art not be excited?
Before Ye Tian finished speaking, these guys were already gearing up, ready to fight. Today, no matter what they want to win a top art piece, otherwise it will be too bad!
as expected!
The next moment, everyone heard what they most wanted to hear.
"Given that these top-level works of art from the Principality of Milan are very fragile and inconvenient for long-distance transportation, the best way to protect them is to protect them in situ, that is, to keep them in Milan.
There are many famous museums in the city of Milan, and there are many top cultural and cultural personnel. I believe that these top oil paintings can be given the best protection, so that they can bloom again with incomparable brilliance of artistic light.
In addition, we still have some exploration missions and exploration operations in Milan, Italy, Europe and other places that have not been completed, and it is impossible to travel around with these top artworks!
Another reason is that after we discovered the treasures of Mark Antony and Julius II in Rome, a tripartite agreement was reached between our company, the Vatican and the Italian government.
The full content of this tripartite agreement cannot be disclosed for the time being, but one of the provisions stipulates that if we choose to sell the treasures we find in Italy, Italy has the right of first refusal.
Those who enjoy the right of first refusal can be the Italian government and local governments, major museums in Italy, the super rich and top collectors, or ordinary citizens.”
Ye Tian said loudly with a smile, and dropped a blockbuster again.
Before the words were finished, there was already a burst of excited cheers, coming from those Italians.
"Whoa! Right of first refusal, that's awesome, those idiots in Rome finally did the right thing!"
"That is to say, we hope to keep half of the treasures of the Duchy of Milan. This is really great news. Don't steal it from me. I want to order "Escape from Egypt" by the master artist Caravaggio!"
Looking at these excited Italians, Ye Tian also had a bright smile on his face.
When the scene calmed down a bit, he went on to say:
"As long as they are Italians, they have this right. Of course, this purchase right is based on the valuation given by me. If it is lower than my valuation, then I can only ship those antique works of art to New York.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of super rich and top collectors, as well as famous museums, waving checkbooks, waiting for me to ship these priceless antiques back to New York, ready to snap up!
In fact, I have received many calls from old friends in the past two days, and they are all asking me when I will return to New York, will I bring back those top antique artworks? Some impatient guys are even ready to place a deposit!
However, I didn't accept the reservations from these old friends, because I don't know which top antique artworks I will bring back to New York, which ones I choose to sell, and which ones I choose to collect.
Let's get back to the topic. Next, I will hold a private auction. The auction targets are those top-level oil paintings with strong religious color from the treasures of the Duchy of Milan that you just saw.
Everyone is welcome to bid enthusiastically. As long as you can beat other competitors and your quotation is above the reserve price I set, you will be able to get the corresponding top-level works of art. After payment, you can take them away tonight!
As for the other half of the top works of art in the treasure, I plan to collect them myself. If you want to appreciate and appraise them carefully, you can see them in the Vatican Museum in two days, and you can enjoy them slowly! "
Having said that, everyone at the scene became even more excited and couldn't wait.
"Steven, what are you waiting for? Let's start the auction now"
Standing in the first row of the crowd, the former Prime Minister of Italy said loudly, as if he was the only one.
In fact, he was indeed the richest person on the scene, and he spoke naturally and confidently.
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then raised his right hand and waved it down gently.
"Okay, gentlemen, this private auction is now officially started!"
