Treasure Hunt all over the World

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"While we are talking here, the cleanup of Napoleon's treasure in the basement chamber is in full swing, and it is nearing its end, and it will be over in a short time!

When the clean-up work is over, I will evaluate every top antique art found in Napoleon’s treasures based on the current market situation of antique art, and then make the estimate public.

After the valuation is completed and the necessary procedures are completed, I will start to deal with these top antique artworks. To illustrate, I will push them to the antique art market in batches.

I am a professional treasure hunter, not a collector. This is my business. There is nothing wrong with bringing these top antique artworks to the market. I believe everyone can understand!

By then, top collectors and famous museums from all over the world will definitely come to buy these rare treasures. French collectors and museums are very welcome to participate!

Due to the large quantity and high quality of these top antique works of art, the art auction market in Paris may be difficult to digest. I am facing collectors and museums from all over the world.

In terms of art taxation, France is a lot higher than the United States. The United States does not have art value-added tax and customs duties, which makes some collectors and museums deliberately avoid Paris.

So, here I would like to ask gentlemen not to include those top antique artworks on the list of restricted-departure artworks, so that I can return to New York with some of them.”

The voice has not yet fallen, the Frenchman on the opposite side has already exploded!

The French Minister of Culture and Martinez were even more exaggerated. The two of them seemed to be electrocuted. They pushed aside their chairs and jumped up, shouting with blood-red eyes:

"Impossible, it is absolutely impossible, Steven, you are purely idiotic dreams, there is no possibility of realization at all"

"Steven, you **** are so greedy! If nothing else, Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" can never leave France!"

While the two roaring, the French President also stared at Ye Tian with fire-breathing eyes, wishing he could jump directly from the table, tear him up and feed the dog to relieve his hatred!

Even Anderson and others looked at Ye Tian in surprise.

You want to take away the priceless top antique artworks from Napoleon’s treasures and make a fortune, but you don’t want to tax the French government. How can there be such a good thing!

This condition is too ridiculous, how can the French agree?

If they dare to agree to this request, once the news leaks out, then wait to be completely overwhelmed by the saliva of the French people!

Ye Tian raised his hands and gently pressed down, and said loudly with a smile on his face:

"Don't worry, Mr. Minister, Martinez, since it's a deal, I can ask for the price, and you can also pay it back. It's not anxious to get angry!

Here I want to make one point, Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" cannot appear in any auction in Paris or New York!

I said before that if the pope is willing to go to the United States to preside over my wedding with Betty and send good wishes to Betty and her family, I don't mind sending those two oil paintings to the Vatican!

According to my judgment, the Vatican and the Pope are unlikely to reject this win-win situation. In case they reject it, it is not too late for us to discuss the transaction of these two top art works! "

"hiss!"

Everyone at the scene took a breath of air-conditioning, and everyone was suffocated by Ye Tian's big hand.

Although this is the second time I heard Ye Tian talk about it, everyone was still shocked by it. But Raphael and Michelangelo, how could he be willing?

Then, the French president suddenly interjected:

"Steven, let's not talk about the masterpieces of Raphael and Michelangelo. As far as I know, many European countries have publicly issued statements claiming the top antique artworks in Napoleon's treasure.

In your live broadcast, you made it clear that more than two hundred years ago, those top antique artworks belonged to that country, and why did they appear here? How do you plan to deal with those European countries? "

Ye Tian looked at each other, then sneered and said:

"Sell for the top antique artworks in Napoleon's treasure? Those European countries obviously think too much. As early as more than two hundred years ago, many European countries have given up their ownership of these top antique artworks.

After the defeat of Napoleon Waterloo, they, as a victorious nation, had the opportunity to take back all the top antique artworks looted by Napoleon and his army, but they gave up this right very generously.

In total, they only recovered 5,000 poor antique artworks, but abandoned most of the top antique artworks, leaving those top antique artworks to remain in France and become French wealth.

Of course, this is thanks to the French government at the time. Those guys must be clever eloquents, and they don't know what kind of magic they used to fool all the victorious countries! "

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Anderson and the others all laughed, one by one, very happy!

The French people on the opposite side rolled their eyes unhappily, and they smiled somewhat, even a little smug!

is not that right! As a defeated country, France actually limped all the victorious countries at that time, leaving behind most of the top art works looted by Napoleon, which is a miracle!

It is precisely because of this that the Louvre has achieved its position as the top museum in the world, and other famous French museums and cultural institutions have also benefited a lot from it!

Even the city of Paris has gained huge benefits and has become a city that countless antique art lovers aspire to, and has become a famous art city!

The laughter fell, and the French Minister of Culture opposite immediately continued:

"Steven, we can recognize your ownership of Napoleon's treasure, but I also tell you very clearly that most of the top antique artworks in the treasure will be included in the restricted departure list.

These antique works of art were discovered in Paris. Once they are sold at auction or completed by other means, they must pay taxes to the French tax authorities. There is no room for negotiation!

In addition, these top antique artworks are very important, and there are many valuable national treasures. We hope that the major museums in France will be eligible for priority acquisition! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian was silent for a moment.

After pretending to ponder for a while, he smiled and said:

"The major museums and top collectors in France have obtained priority purchase qualifications. There is no problem. I am also happy to see it happen, but all transactions must be based on market value and be open and transparent!

Regarding the issue of art transaction taxation, I can promise you here that the relevant taxes and fees that our company should bear and pay will not be less, and will be paid in the first time!

Our company has always been a model of abiding by the law and has never had any tax issues. What I am considering is to reduce the tax burden for museums and collectors! "

"You are a model of abiding by the law? Just you, an innocent and greedy bastard, will be abiding by the law? Why don't you talk nonsense, who will believe it? The ghosts don't believe it!"

A few French people on the opposite side rolled their eyes, and vomited secretly one by one!

Of course, this is their psychological activity, and they have not resorted to it.

Without a pause, Ye Tianqinglang's voice continued to be heard.

"Obviously, it is impossible to exclude all the top antique artworks found in Napoleon's treasure from the restricted departure list, and you will definitely not agree.

So how about we each step back? Can half of these top antique artworks ~www.ltnovel.com~ be excluded from the list of restricted-exit artworks? Let me take them back to New York.

After these half of the top antique artworks are sold in the New York market, the taxes and fees that I should pay, such as art value-added tax and customs duties, will also not be missing one."

The voice has not yet fallen, and the French Minister of Culture opposite has given a categorical answer.

"Impossible, Steven, we cannot accept this proposal. As long as the top antique artworks that meet the conditions, they will definitely be included in the list of restricted-departure artworks, and one piece will be no exception!

Moreover, these antique artworks must be traded in France and relevant fees must be paid. Even after the transaction, these valuable top antique artworks cannot leave France without permission! "

Ye Tian looked at the French Minister of Culture with a flushed face, and smiled and said:

"Don't rush to refuse, Mr. Minister, you first listen to my other conditions, after listening, it's not too late for you to make a decision!"
