Treasure Hunt all over the World

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended.

After several hours of deliberation, the two parties have reached a consensus!

Various museums and famous collectors accepted Ye Tian's offer in principle, allowing him to cut 40% to 50% of the stolen antique works of art!

Of course, this is conditional.

Ye Tian had to take out the part of the antique art that had been swallowed, and through private transactions, let various museums and famous collectors buy it back at the market price, and get it back to the museums.

Both parties must keep this kind of private transaction confidential, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!

In this way, Ye Tian made a huge fortune, and various museums and famous collectors could declare to the outside world that all the stolen top antique artworks were successfully recovered, and everyone was happy!

As for those Chinese antique artworks that Ye Tian intercepted, he would also find Western antique artworks of basically equal value to replace them, and there was no problem.

As before, the two parties reached a verbal agreement, which was not implemented in the contract.

One is because the owners of various museums need to go back to a meeting to discuss and cannot make a decision immediately.

What's more, Ye Tian didn't even think about signing the contract right away, it would only tie his hands and feet, and the loss outweighed the gain!

After I have contacted all the museums and collectors on the list and reached a consensus, it is the time to actually sign the contract.

Next, you can go to Boston again to dig out this huge treasure, and pull out Thompson's art crime group by the way.

"Steven, you promised me that Picasso's peak work, you must not break your promise!"

Isaac came over and said, the old man is still very excited, his smile is brighter than flowers.

"Didn't I just say that! This is just a metaphor, how can you take it seriously? Mr. Isaac, of course, if the exchange conditions satisfy me, this transaction is not impossible!"

Ye Tian pretended to be surprised and said, but didn't say anything dead.

"You bastard, what a slippery head! Don't worry, the exchange terms will definitely satisfy you!"

Isaac said angrily, feeling a little helpless.

After chatting for a few more words, the old man turned around and returned to his seat, ready to pack his things and leave here.

The others did the same, getting up and preparing to say goodbye.

At this moment, Ye Tian's voice rang in everyone's ears again.

"Gentlemen, once again, we must keep it secret! This matter must not be leaked at the last moment, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous! I believe you and I don't want to face that kind of result!"

"Understood, we must care more about the safety of those stolen antique works of art than you do. I believe everyone is the same, and we will never leak the secret!"

The curator of the Metropolitan Museum nodded and said, and the others also nodded in response.

"Of course that would be great! Besides, if that gentleman doesn't plan to leave New York for the time being, it's best to wait a while before leaving, and we will contact the hotel for everyone.

It's very close to the Plaza Hotel, just a few streets away. How about arranging everyone to stay at the Plaza Hotel? The cost of board and lodging is all mine, and this is also a little bit of my heart! "

"You guys are quite generous, but let's forget it, I can't bear it! When you sign the contract later, you just don't want to be too dark, then we will be grateful!"

said a prominent collector in Philadelphia, with a wry smile.

"That's right, you are too dark, how dare we enjoy your favor! Who knows what price we will pay later!"

Someone else joked about it, a well-known collector from Atlantic City.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone nodded in sympathy.

"Okay! Since everyone is unwilling to accept this arrangement, then I can just save this expense. What a wonderful thing, why not do it!

I won't send you off, there are still some things to deal with, Jason will take you away, I wish you all a happy time in New York, enjoy a wonderful winter time, see you, everyone! "

"See you later, you lucky fellow!"

Everyone bid farewell and left the meeting room.

However, two of them were kept by Ye Tian. They were Joey from the Art Crime Team of the FBI, and the deputy director from the Washington FBI Headquarters!

The others left soon after, and the conference room was closed again.

At this time, there were only five people left in the conference room, Ye Tian, ​​David and Mathis, as well as Joey and that FBI Deputy Director Joseph!

"Steven, why did you leave us alone, is there anything else?"

Joey asked curiously, a little puzzled.

"That's right! There are indeed things, and these things are inconvenient for others to know"

Ye Tian nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"What's the matter please? Tell me and listen"

Deputy Director Joseph interjected, also very curious!

"Museum directors and collectors from other cities will be in New York tomorrow, and as the art crime authority, I think you should be there tomorrow too"

"That's right, we'll be here tomorrow"

"Mexican and Canadian guests will also arrive tomorrow, and perhaps other countries, not only museum owners and collectors, but also art crime agents from various countries.

The day after tomorrow, there will be guests from Asia, Europe, and South America. If there is no accident, Scotland Yard, the French Artwork Defense Team, the Italian Cultural Relics Gendarmerie, etc., should all send people here.

Museum owners and collectors can be dealt with by me, but for your foreign counterparts, I hope you will deal with them. I don't want to conflict with them, let alone ruin the whole thing! "

Ye Tian explained the situation he was about to face, with a serious expression on his face.

These cultural relics police outside the United States don't know the situation here, and they don't know themselves. Who knows what will happen, so we have to guard against it!

Hearing this, the expressions of Joey and Joseph also became a lot more dignified.

After thinking for a while, Joseph immediately said:

"Steven, don't worry, we know how to do it. Let us deal with these foreign counterparts. We will do a good job of communication and won't let them do bad things!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then continued:

"There is another thing about the goods in that warehouse. There are some special circumstances. I didn't tell you before. Now is the time.

In addition to hiding a large number of stolen antique artworks in that warehouse, there are many other types of antiques. These antiques are quite a lot, and they add up to a certain value.

According to my preliminary estimate, the market value of these antiques is about 40 million U.S. dollars. If they are sold separately, they should be able to buy more, but they will not exceed 50 million U.S. dollars.

Unlike many stolen antique works of art, these antiques are all unowned. For these antiques, I ask for 60% of them, and the rest belongs to you."

Hearing this, Joey and Joseph couldn't help flashing a hint of surprise in their eyes.

40% share, 20 million US dollars! What a windfall! It's amazing.

“Steven, do you have a video of these items? Better let us see them!”

Joseph asked excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Of course there are video materials, but I just can't show them to you. If you can see the words on those crates, it will be a big trouble!

God knows if there are written records of the batch of arms that originally belonged to the Sons of Liberty Association! If there are relevant records, and the storage location is clearly stated, and you find them again, wouldn't my buddy be busy for nothing!

"I'm very sorry, Joseph, I was pressed for time and these antiques were of relatively low value, so I didn't photograph them"

Ye Tian talked nonsense, and the other party would say otherwise if he believed it or not.

"Hey! That's a pity. Can you tell me what kind of antiques they are?"

Joseph sighed and said regretfully.

But his flickering eyes showed that he didn't really believe Ye Tian's words.

How can you not shoot video materials when you have always been impeccable in your actions? Go to hell!

Ye Tian didn't even bother to answer whether they believed it or not.

After a short pause, he continued:

"It was a batch of military supplies more than 200 years ago, including guns, ammunition, military uniforms, etc., which should be related to the American Revolutionary War. Although the value is not high, the historical significance is great!

Because of this, I must inform in advance that when we enter that warehouse, it is best to be accompanied by people from the Advisory Committee for the Protection of Historical Heritage of the Ministry of the Interior, so as to avoid some unnecessary troubles! "

"Ah! It turned out to be a large amount of munitions from the War of Independence!"

Joseph exclaimed, stood up immediately, and looked at Ye Tian in shock.

Joey, who was sitting next to him, was also taken aback by the news!

While feeling shocked, they also realized that this might be the biggest secret of that warehouse!
