Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 559 Mr. Duke
At nine o'clock in the morning, at the east end of 78th Street in Midtown Manhattan, the brave bravely explored the company's logistics base.
The elevator door opened, Ye Tian and David came out, and walked into the conference room on the fifth floor with a smile, followed by Mattis.
This is the third day of returning to New York. Everyone has withdrawn. Only Walker and Raymond are still in Boston, continuing to track and monitor Thompson's gang.
On the New York side, surveillance has never been slack.
Kenny and Byrne have been conducting remote monitoring, using mobile phone positioning information and many pinhole cameras set up by Thompson, watching his every move!
At the same time, they also kept an eye on the situation of the underground palace of the Old North Church, ready to respond at any time.
Fortunately, everything was business as usual, and there were no accidents and no rumors, indicating that Joey and Brandon did a good job of keeping secrets, and there were no leaks for the time being.
After returning to New York, Ye Tian immediately gave everyone two days off, so that everyone could go back to rest and reunite with their families.
Don't beat the newlyweds! He also had a very sweet two days!
Now that the holidays are over, it's time to start the next step.
This conference room in the logistics base is not big, only 30 to 40 square meters. There is a long solid wood conference table and a dozen chairs. There is nothing else, it is quite simple!
Kenny and Byrne were busy in the conference room, debugging the network and the laptop on the table.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian didn't bother the two guys, but sat down at the other end of the conference table and chatted with David and the others.
The reason why he came here is to communicate face-to-face with the curators of the museums and famous collectors of the stolen antique artworks through online videos.
Originally, he planned to send company employees and lawyers to meet these museum directors and famous collectors, and invite them to New York to negotiate with him.
But in this way, a lot of insiders are bound to be added, both from within the company, from law firms, and from other links, and the possibility of leaking secrets will undoubtedly increase a lot.
It is with this in mind that he switched to video calls. In addition to better confidentiality, this can also save a lot of costs. Why not do it?
A few minutes passed quickly, Kenny and the others finished their work, stood up from their seats and said:
"Steven, the network and computer have been debugged, and you can make video calls"
"How's the security? Is there any danger of leaks?"
Ye Tian asked with concern, got up and walked over.
"Although you can rest assured, Steven, we have repeatedly checked that the computer and network are very secure, there are no loopholes, and no one should want to intrude, there is no possibility of leaking secrets in this conference room.
The video data you provided, we have also done technical processing, in addition to burning after reading, but also multi-encrypted, absolutely impossible to copy, high security! "
Kenny said confidently, almost slapped his chest to promise.
"That's great, let's get started, it's the afternoon in Europe, the time is right!"
Ye Tian nodded in appreciation, then sat on the chair in front of the laptop.
Immediately afterwards, David came over and sat next to him. He is a lawyer and must be present.
Kenny and Byrne, who had finished their work, and Matisse, walked out of the conference room together and closed the door.
After tidying up his coat and adjusting his mood, Ye Tian moved the mouse to open the chat software.
Then, he clicked on a document on the computer desktop.
The document records the list of contacts to be contacted later, as well as the mobile phone numbers of those contacts, or office phone numbers.
These information were all found by Kenny and the others on the Internet, and it was not difficult.
Soon, everything will be ready to start!
"Steven, are you going to contact that museum first?"
David asked curiously, looking quite excited.
"The Czartoryski Museum in Poland, in the warehouse where the antique art is kept,
The first top artwork I saw was Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man.
This famous painting by the Renaissance art master is a well-deserved Polish national treasure. It disappeared in 1945 after the end of World War II, and the Polish government has been looking for it for decades!
Let's take the lead with this top-level famous painting. I believe it will bring us good luck. If the Poles want to take back this national treasure-level painting, they must pay a lot of dollars! "
Ye Tian gave the answer with a chuckle, his eyes full of confidence.
This is a famous painting that can make a lot of money. He is very sure about this!
Due to World War II, the current ownership of this top-notch painting is unclear.
Even the Czartoryski Museum can only say that it was the owner of this famous painting, but it may not be able to produce strong evidence that this famous painting really belongs to itself.
During the war, Poland was almost turned into a pile of ruins, and many materials were completely destroyed, including the ownership information of many antique works of art.
The loss of relevant materials made the Polish government sometimes have to pay a lot of money to buy back its own artwork from the Nazi descendants, and was looted for the second time!
This is the case with Raphael's top painting.
If the Czartoryski Museum can't produce concrete evidence, it will have to spend a lot of money to buy back, there is no other way.
Of course, if the owner is willing to donate for free, that is also a way.
But the unpaid donor can never be Ye Tian, he has no relationship with Poland, and naturally he will not miss such an opportunity to make a fortune!
"I know this 'Portrait of a Young Man'. This painting is so famous. It used to be Hitler's favorite! I didn't expect it to be hidden in Boston and you found it. You are so lucky!"
David exclaimed and almost jumped out of his chair in excitement.
"That's right, my buddy is indeed very lucky, and I also firmly believe that this famous painting will definitely bring me a lot of wealth!"
Ye Tian said proudly, then took out his mobile phone and started making calls.
The bell rang for about seven or eight seconds before the other party picked up the phone, and a low male voice immediately came, speaking in Polish, which he couldn't understand at all.
Although the language is not clear, everyone understands the meaning of the other party's words.
It's nothing more than the beginning of the phone call, hello, name, what's going on!
When the other party's voice fell, Ye Tian immediately said in English:
"Good afternoon, Duke Torreski, I'm taking the liberty to interrupt. This is a call from New York, USA. I'm Steven, and I have news of Raphael's famous painting "Portrait of a Young Man"!"
After a simple greeting and self-introduction, he immediately threw a bombshell to bombard each other's ears.
If it's too late, the other party may think it's a harassing call and just hang up.
The other end of the phone went quiet, obviously, the old man on the other side was stunned!
After a short pause, there was an almost frantic exclamation on the other end of the phone, followed by a series of bizarre Polish English.
"My God! You have news about "Portrait of a Young Man", is it true? Where is that oil painting now? Who are you? How do you know my phone number? …"
A lot of questions were bombarded directly, and it sounded a bit incoherent.
Duke Torresky's excitement is almost out of control!
