Treasure Hunt all over the World

More than an hour passed quickly, and several museums completed transactions with Ye Tian, ​​and happily walked out of the temporary meeting room.

However, they did not take away the stolen top antique artworks, but continued to put them in the banquet hall, preparing to take these treasures away when they left Boston tomorrow.

In comparison, this banquet hall is the safest place in the Bartley Hotel, and it is obviously safer and more reassuring to put it here.

Trading continues.

Sitting opposite Ye Tian this time were a few people from Fontainebleau Palace in Paris, France, and two senior executives from Chubb Art Insurance Company.

"Steven, can we change the deal? We really like Chardin's "Still Life" and Serusier's "The Seine", which are indeed masterpieces! Full of artistic charm!

But we are not willing to give up those Chinese antique works of art, which are all the fine collections of the China Pavilion of the Palace of Fontainebleau. Without them, our China Pavilion will definitely lose its color.

If possible, we can pay some cash to buy back these Chinese antique artworks, how about based on the market price of these antique artworks when they were stolen? "

The deputy curator of Fontainebleau Palace is still making the final effort, and his words are very sincere.

He tried to bring back all the stolen antique works of art to France, and brought back two masterpieces along the way. His imagination was perfect!

Hearing this, Ye Tian hadn't reacted yet, but the complexion of the executives of Chubb Art Insurance Company changed instantly, becoming very ugly.

Cooperate with us for taking advantage of us! Is your buyback fund from the Palace of Fontainebleau? Not even our insurance payout! unacceptable!

But considering the occasion, the two insurance company executives didn't say anything, they just sat there with sinking faces.

The two of them were going to listen to what Ye Tian had to say before responding. No one wants to be taken advantage of by others, and they are no exception!

Ye Tian smiled lightly and shook his head, firmly rejecting the other party's unreasonable thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Victor, I can't agree to your request. Let's trade according to the contract we signed before. I am determined to get those Chinese antique works of art.

As we all know, almost all the Chinese antique works of art in the Palace of Fontainebleau come from the famous Chinese royal garden, the Old Summer Palace, which was looted from the Old Summer Palace by the British and French allied forces in 1860.

We Chinese have always wanted to take back these antique artworks belonging to our own country, and we have never given up! I personally like things from my own nation very much, so naturally I will not give up this opportunity.”

The expressions of the Frenchmen on the opposite side changed, and everyone showed embarrassment and a bit of embarrassment!

Each of them understood that Ye Tian was right!

I know my own affairs best. The establishment of the Chinese Pavilion of Fontainebleau Palace is to collect the top Chinese antique artworks looted from the Old Summer Palace. It is very straightforward and undisguised!

The Palace of Fontainebleau has thus become the official museum with the largest collection of cultural relics from the Old Summer Palace, which is well known in the field of antique art collections.

After the Anglo-French allied forces looted and burned the Old Summer Palace in 1860, Montauban, then commander of the French army, divided the looted cultural relics into seven carts in 1863 and dedicated them to Napoleon III and Queen Eugenie.

It is because of these cultural relics that the Palace of Fontainebleau opened the Chinese Pavilion, which is dedicated to storing these treasures.

Since then, the looted nature of these antique artworks has never changed, and they have always been marked with stolen goods!

Therefore, for Ye Tian's words, the French couldn't even find a word of rebuttal, so they could only hold back!

"It's cool! My buddies are not used to you guys!"

Ye Tian complained secretly, and then went on to say:

"These antique works of art are not the most representative collections of the China Pavilion of the Palace of Fontainebleau, and because of some political considerations, the China Pavilion of the Palace of Fontainebleau has been closed these years and is rarely opened to the public.

Even if you take all these Chinese antique artworks back,

They are just shelved, stored in an exhibition hall that is almost never open to the public, let the years gradually erode, and lose their due charm!

Instead of this, you might as well let go and let these antique works of art return to our Chinese hands. I believe that is their best destination, and only the Chinese know how to appreciate their beauty! "

The voice fell, and the meeting room fell silent.

From these words, everyone felt Ye Tian's firm determination, and it was absolutely impossible to make any concessions!

That being the case, the French had no choice but to put away their wishful thinking!

After pondering for a moment, the Frenchman Victor opposite said with a wry smile:

"Okay, Steven, since you insist, let's trade according to the contract we signed before. Shall we do a bank transfer or a check? It's up to you, we can do it"

"After all, you are not a museum in the United States. Checks are a bit troublesome, so let's use bank transfers! This is faster. This is our company's bank account number"

With that said, Ye Tian handed the company's bank account number to the Frenchman opposite.

...

The one who walked into the conference room after the Palace of Fontainebleau was a top art dealer.

He is here on behalf of a famous American collector who is also a famous billionaire!

Entering the meeting room with him was also a senior person from an art insurance company.

The transaction went fairly quickly.

After a few greetings at the door, the art dealer took out a cash check and put it down, and then left the meeting room with the two stolen famous paintings originally belonging to the collector. It didn't even take two minutes!

And they didn't do any appraisal, obviously they trust Ye Tian's appraisal level very much, and they also understand that he won't do any tricks!

The fact is indeed the case, Ye Tian certainly wouldn't do that kind of thing that smashed his own brand!

The amount filled on the check was agreed in the previous contract. This is the style of the super rich, crisp and neat, and Ye Tian likes it very much!

The next person who walked into the conference room was the curator of the Mexican Museum of Anthropology.

The transaction was also completed very quickly. Ye Tian almost sold half and gave away, allowing the curator of the museum to take away two cultural relics from the Indian Aztec Empire period.

...

The meeting room door opened again.

This time, it was Duke Treski and several other Poles who followed Jason into the meeting room.

In the hands of those Poles, they all carried portable safes, which contained the few pieces of Chinese antique art that Ye Tian had just brought in from the Torezchi Museum in Poland, which Ye Tian asked for by name!

We have met several times, considered old friends! So don't be too polite.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Duke Treschi immediately got to the point, looking rather eager.

"Steven, everything you want is here, a pair of Jun kiln plum vases in the Northern Song Dynasty, a jade pot and spring vase in the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, a Xuande blue and white platter in the Ming Dynasty, a pair of Xuande blue and white hand-pressed cups, and a Chenghua Doucai Gaoshi One cup.

The "Dongting Landscape Map" by Mi Fu of the Northern Song Dynasty, the two calligraphy works of Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, the "Dwelling in Dongshan Mountain" by Wang Meng of the Yuan Dynasty, and the fine brushwork album of Qiu Ying of the Ming Dynasty are quite a few, and the total value is no less than 300 million U.S. dollars.

We are really unlucky to meet you greedy guy. After your ransacking, our museum has almost been wiped out of the essence of Chinese antique art, and there are not many valuable pieces left!

We have also prepared 200 million US dollars in cash, how to pay? Bank transfer or check? You choose, start trading, I want to get back that famous Raphael painting as soon as possible! "

As he said that, Duke Treschi couldn't help showing a painful expression on his face.

The same goes for the rest of the Poles, everyone gritted their teeth in distress, and looked at Ye Tian with very unfriendly eyes.

The total value is nearly 500 million US dollars! What a huge fortune! Being knocked away like this, anyone would be heartbroken! Without exception!

As soon as Duke Treschi finished speaking, Ye Tian smiled lightly and said:

"Hehehe, Mr. Duke, you are not sincere! Are you really unlucky? You know, what you took back was Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man", which is a well-deserved Polish national treasure!

But what you paid was shelved, and few Poles know how to appreciate Chinese antique art. In my opinion, you definitely made a profit. Of course, I am also very satisfied with this deal!

The 200 million U.S. dollars repurchase funds should be bank transfers! Just transfer it to our company account, but before the transaction, I must authenticate these Chinese antique artworks, don't you object? "

"Is my objection useful? Start the appraisal, you greedy bastard!"

Duke Treschi scolded with a grin, with a rather helpless expression.

"Okay, let me enjoy these perfect works of art! This is what I want!"

With that said, Ye Tian got up and walked towards those Chinese antique artworks.

While he was conducting the appraisal, several Poles were not idle. They all gathered in front of the famous Raphael painting, appreciating it with burning eyes.

"Mr. Duke, it seems that the art maintenance work in your museum is not very good! The condition of these ancient Chinese paintings looks a bit bad!"

Ye Tian pointed to Wang Meng's "Dwelling in Dongshan" and said, his tone was full of regret, even a little distressed.

The ink landscape painting he was referring to had several damages, including creases and scars caused by insect bites and rat bites!

The most serious damage is a slit about 15 centimeters long on the upper part of the painting. It looks like it was torn open by someone. It is shocking and distressing!

Duke Treschi turned his head and took a look, then explained with a wry smile:

"Our museum has collected these antique artworks for more than a hundred years, and you also know that in the past hundred years or so, Poland has had a lot of misfortunes and is often in war!

In those war-torn times, not only were the fate of our country and people very tragic, but even these antique artworks were not spared. It is not easy to preserve them until now!

Those injuries were caused by displacement decades ago, and there are no new scars. Although we are not the most famous museum, our professionalism is not inferior to any top museum! "

Ye Tian agrees with his words very much.

Under the perspective, he has already understood that the age of these damages has nothing to do with the current Torreski Museum.

As before, the identification work was completed quickly.

Then, the two parties sat back at the conference table and started trading.

A few minutes later, Duke Treski walked out of this temporary meeting room with several Poles.

When they left, each of them was very excited and smiled brilliantly. The reason was the famous Raphael painting in their hands, the well-deserved Polish national treasure!

And in the temporary meeting room behind them, there was already a sound of high-fives and cheers of excitement!

These cheers stemmed from the addition of several top-level Chinese antique artworks in the meeting room, as well as the extra 200 million U.S. dollars in deposits in the company's bank account!

There is no doubt that this is a happy ending for everyone!

The time for celebration is short, after all, there is still work to be done.

After all the deals are done, it's time to celebrate and time to go wild!

"Jason, bring in some gentlemen from the Paris Museum of Modern Art, and also bring in the oil paintings of Picasso's "The Dove and the Pea" and Matisse's "Pastoral"!

This is a famous museum that has suffered the most from international art thieves, and we can't spare them lightly. Who let them have countless top-level artworks? It's really enviable! "

Ye Tian said jokingly, with a posture of sharpening his knife and rushing at the pig and sheep.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, and everyone laughed extremely happily.

After the laughter fell, Jason opened the door and walked out of the meeting room!
