Treasure Hunt all over the World

False alarm!

The gangster on a motorcycle inquired about the situation with the clerk in the leather goods store next door. After confirming that there was no suspicious person nearby, he left quickly by bicycle and searched elsewhere.

They had just left, and the roar of off-road motorcycles hadn't disappeared from their ears. Immediately after that, there was a shrill siren from outside, roaring towards this side.

Obviously, a large number of police and gangsters are searching the ancient city of Cartagena, hoping to find the unidentified and ruthless guys!

The blue and white house on 32nd Street was still very quiet, except for the sound of breathing, there was no other sound.

It wasn't until the police car drove past the door and the siren sound became smaller and smaller that everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their vigilance a little.

Ye Tian put away the M9 pistol, walked back to the living room, and sat down on the sofa again.

After that, he immediately picked up the topic just now.

"Silva, you can tell me the price of this oil painting. At what price do you plan to sell it? I'm all ears!"

Silva nodded and began to quote the price he wanted.

"Okay, Jack, since I thought about selling this oil painting, I have been paying attention to the auction price of El Greco's paintings, and I have some understanding of the market conditions.

In July last year, at Sotheby's night auction in London, a Greco work was successfully auctioned, and the hammer price was more than 14 million US dollars.

Using this price as a guide, and considering my current situation, the price I offered for this El Greco oil painting in my hand is 12 million US dollars. I wonder if you can accept it? "

After finishing speaking, Silva immediately looked at Ye Tian nervously, his eyes full of anticipation, expecting to hear the best and perfect answer.

$12 million! Too cheap!

Ye Tian instantly wanted to nod his head in agreement, but finally held back.

Of course he knows the El Greco oil painting sold at Sotheby's in London. The scale is much smaller than the one in front of him, about 50*60, which is less than one-third of the painting in front of him.

More importantly, the representativeness and artistic value of that oil painting are far inferior to the one in front of me.

It is an early work of El Greco. At that time, he had just emerged in Spain. He was not yet great, and his artistic style had not yet fully formed, and he was still in the stage of exploration!

But the oil painting in front of him is the work of El Greco at his peak, and it can be regarded as one of his masterpieces. Its artistic value is extraordinary, far beyond.

If they can fetch a high price of 14 million U.S. dollars, then there is no problem at all if the oil painting in front of you is sold for a sky-high price of more than 50 million U.S. dollars. It is possible to exceed 100 million U.S. dollars!

This is Silva, who does not understand the real situation of the art market at all, especially the market value of top art.

There may also be a huge price gap between the early works and the peak works of the same top artist, and there may even be a huge difference!

If he had understood, he would not have offered the cabbage price of 12 million US dollars.

Even so, Ye Tian didn't intend to agree to the price right away, but was ready to haggle over the price again, this is also a kind of fun, isn't it!

"Silva, it seems that you have done your homework a long time ago, and you know the market price of El Greco oil paintings very well, but this is not a public auction after all, it is just an art transaction between private individuals.

There is no one here to drive up the price, everyone is very calm, it must not be compared with the bidding at the auction, and the origin of this oil painting is also troublesome, so I will definitely not be able to offer such a high price.

But I like this oil painting very much, and I really want to keep it in my pocket. Considering your current situation, I don't have the heart to bargain too hard. 8 million US dollars, this is my offer!

If you can accept this price, we can trade immediately, and when we get to the Cayman Islands, I will deposit the money into your new bank account and make you a millionaire.

also,

My lawyer will come from the United States to complete the relevant legal procedures for this transaction, and assist your family to apply for a new identity, so that you can start a new life smoothly"

When Ye Tian said these words, Silva's expression began to change drastically, and his breathing became much heavier.

When he heard the figure of 8 million US dollars, his eyes immediately became extremely bright, like searchlights, and his eyes were full of excitement!

8 million dollars!

He was just a Columbia middle school teacher. He had never seen such a large amount of wealth, let alone owned it!

Perhaps only in his dream did he possess so much wealth!

He knew very well what this money meant.

It means that my family can start a new life in Europe, do what I want, and no longer have to worry about life or run around for money!

It means that my family can live in a good house, drive a good car, my wife can wear the most beautiful clothes, my son and daughter can enjoy the best education, and grow up healthily and happily!

It means a life that most people envy! That's a dream that will almost never come true in Colombia! But now it is close at hand, within reach!

This new life must be ten thousand times happier than before!

Thinking of these, Silva felt unreal like a dream, and even the happy ones were a little dizzy!

This dizziness lasted for four or five seconds before he woke up!

Although the offer was $12 million, Silva did not dare to expect to be able to sell at this price.

He knows better than anyone else what situation he is in now, and the best description is a lost dog!

Even if these guys don't spend a dime, they can easily get this oil painting! It depends on whether they want it or not!

As long as they want to, they can do it anytime!

Just kick yourself out of the plane while flying over the Caribbean, and instantly claim this painting as your own, with next to no hassle!

Although I am very satisfied with the 8 million US dollars, I wish I could have it immediately, but the desire is always endless!

Suppressing his excitement a little bit, Silva then said eagerly:

"Jack, how about a middle price, 10 million US dollars! Next we have to apply for a new identity, and we have to buy a house, a car and find a job when we go to Europe, which requires a lot of money.

To you, this money may not be a big deal, but to our family, it is everything, and we may not have this kind of opportunity to earn such a large amount of wealth in the future."

Obviously, Silva still wants to fight for a little more, who thinks that money is too hot?

Listening to his eloquence, Ye Tian couldn't help feeling a little sympathy in his heart.

It's only $2 million, so it's okay to give it to them! It's nothing more than earning a little less, so what does it matter!

Besides, apart from this El Greco oil painting, I have gained more during this trip!

It's that Titian's. That's the real pricey work of art. It only cost $500. It's nothing!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded.

“Okay, Silva, $10 million deal! Hope this money will make your life more happy!”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand forward.

"Thank you so much, Jack, what a generous fellow you are! Deal!"

Silva held Ye Tian's right hand tightly, and almost cheered excitedly.

Fortunately, his mind was still clear, he knew where he was, and forcibly resisted the urge to cheer and celebrate.

Looking at the face in front of him that was almost dying of laughter, Ye Tian couldn't help but be infected by it, and chuckled lightly.

The same goes for Matisse and Pique, with big smiles on their faces!

The two of them knew in their hearts that Steven must have picked up a big leak, but they didn't know how much this oil painting was worth! Well beyond $10 million for sure!

Deal done! Both parties are very satisfied.

Next, Ye Tian took this El Greco oil painting out of the painting tube, spread it on the coffee table, and admired it again.

After admiring it, he took out Titian's oil painting from another painting tube, separated the two oil paintings with waterproof paper, stacked them together, and carefully rolled them up.

Then, using plastic wrap and other plastic products found in the house, he made some meticulous waterproofing measures.

After doing this, he put the two top-level oil paintings wrapped in layers into the same painting tube.

The reason for this is entirely for portability!

Greco's oil painting already belonged to him in name, so he didn't worry about letting Silva carry it on his back. If it was accidentally damaged, he would feel so distressed!

During this period, he also used his mobile phone to take a lot of photos of the two top oil paintings, both overall and many partial details!

Watching his actions, Silva on the opposite sofa hesitated to speak several times, his expression kept changing, it was wonderful!

dude! You haven't checked out yet!

That top oil painting doesn't belong to you yet, it still belongs to me, you are too anxious!

But the situation is stronger than others, Silva can only complain secretly in his heart, how dare he say these words.

After putting the two top-quality oil paintings into the painting tube, Ye Tian greeted several people, then picked up his mobile phone and walked into the room farthest from 32nd Street.

He went to contact David in New York and several famous collectors.

During the phone call, he sent all the photos he just took to several famous collectors, asking if they were interested in these two top famous paintings!

If you are interested and intend to have these two top famous paintings in your pocket, then come to the Cayman Islands!

Due to the special situation of these two famous paintings, Ye Tian didn't plan to bring them into the United States himself, let alone send them to the auction, which would cause a lot of trouble.

These troubles come from multiple sources. On the US side are Raytheon Security Company and the FBI Art Crime Unit, as well as the indispensable Internal Revenue Service!

On the Colombian side, there are the Colombian cultural department, the Cartagena city government, and the Colombian gangsters who have suffered heavy casualties!

One more thing is worse than one less thing. He is going to transfer these two top famous paintings in the Cayman Islands. The target of the transfer is those famous collectors. He must kill those guys!

As for the transfer income, he does not intend to bring it back to the United States.

Except for the 10 million US dollars paid to Silva, he plans to keep the rest of the money anonymously in the Cayman Islands as a secret fund, which may be of great use in the future, such as offering a reward for killing someone or something!

Time passed quickly, and it was already half an hour after he finished the phone call and came out of the room.

It would be lunch time, but eating out was obviously out of the question.

In the end, everyone can only search for food in this house.

Fortunately, with good luck, Peake found a few bags of large-pack biscuits in the kitchen closet, as well as the coffee that Colombians must have at home, which can be considered a meal!
