Treasure Hunt all over the World

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

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

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

The transaction continues.

Sitting across from Ye Tian this time are several from the Palace of Fontainebleau in Paris, France, and two senior executives from Chubb Art Insurance Company.

"Steven, can we change the trading method? We really like Chardin's "Still Life" and Certisier's "Seine". They 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 Fontainebleau Palace. Without them, our China Pavilion will surely lose its color.

If possible, we can pay another part of the cash to buy back these Chinese antique artworks. How about based on the market price when these antique artworks were stolen? "

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

He tried to bring all the stolen antique artworks back to France, and brought back two masterpieces by the way. His imagination was extremely perfect!

Hearing this, Ye Tian hadn't given a response yet, but the expressions of the executives of Chubb Art Insurance Company changed instantly and became very ugly.

Let us be taken advantage of together! Is your repurchase funds from the Palace of Fontainebleau? Not yet our insurance indemnity! unacceptable!

But considering the occasion, the two insurance company executives didn't say anything, just sat with a sinking face.

The two were going to listen to what Ye Tian said before responding. No one wanted to be taken advantage of, and they were no exception!

Ye Tian smiled 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 signed before. For those Chinese antique works of art, I am determined to win.

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

We Chinese have always wanted to take back these antique works of art belonging to our own country, and have never given up! I personally like the things of my own nation very much, and naturally I will not give up this opportunity"

The faces of several French people on the opposite side changed. Everyone was embarrassed and a little bit ashamed!

Every one of them understood that Ye Tian was right!

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

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

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

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

Since then, the nature of these antique works of art from being looted has never changed, and they have always been affixed with signs of stolen goods!

Therefore, for Ye Tian's remarks, several Frenchmen couldn't even find a rebuttal, they could only hold back wherever they were!

"Cool! You guys are not used to you guys!"

Ye Tian murmured to himself, and then continued:

"These antique works of art are not the most representative collection of the Chinese Pavilion of the Palace of Fontainebleau, and because of certain political considerations, the Chinese Pavilion of the Palace of Fontainebleau has been closed for many years and rarely opened to the outside world.

Even if you take all these Chinese antique artworks back, you will just put them on the shelf and store them in a pavilion that is almost never open to the public, letting the years gradually erode and lose their due charm!

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

The voice fell, and the conference room fell silent.

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

In that case, the French had no choice but to put away their wishful thinking!

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

"Well, Steven, since you insist, then trade according to the previously signed contract. Are we bank transfer or cheque? We can do whatever you choose."

"After all, you are not a museum in the United States. The check is a little troublesome, so let's bank transfer! This is faster. This is our company's bank account."

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

...

After the Palace of Fontainebleau walked into the meeting room, a top art dealer.

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

Joining him into the meeting room was a senior person from an art insurance company.

The transaction went quite quickly.

After a few words of greeting, the art broker took out a cash check and put it down, and then left the meeting room with two stolen famous paintings belonging to the collector, which didn't even use two minutes!

And they didn't do any appraisal either. Obviously they trusted Ye Tian's appraisal level very much and knew that he would not do any tricks!

The fact is indeed the case, Ye Tian certainly wouldn't do something that smashed his signature!

The amount filled in on the check is already agreed in the previous contract. This is the style of the super-rich. It is simple and neat. Ye Tian likes it very much!

The next person who walked into the meeting room was the director of the Mexican Museum of Anthropology.

The transaction was also completed quickly. Ye Tian was almost half-sold and half-delivered, allowing the museum curator to take away two artifacts from the Indian Aztec empire.

...

The meeting room door opened again.

This time following Jason into the meeting room were Duke Torreschi and several other Poles.

Those Poles were all carrying portable safes, which contained the few Chinese antique works of art that Ye Tian had just transported from the Torreyski Museum in Poland.

You've seen it several times, and you are considered old friends! So there is no need to be too polite.

After a few words of greeting, Duke Torreschi immediately went straight to the subject, looking rather eager.

"Steven, all the things you want are here. A pair of plum vases from the Jun kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, a spring vase from the Longquan kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, a blue-and-white plate in Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, and a pair of blue-and-white pressed cups from Xuande. One cup.

The "Dongting Landscape" by Mi Fu in the Northern Song Dynasty, the two calligraphy works by Zhao Ji of the Song Huizong, the "Hidden in the East Mountain" by Wang Meng of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty Qiuying's meticulous painting album, there are many, and the total value is never less than 300 million US dollars.

We are really out of luck when we meet you, greedy guy. After your looting, the essence of Chinese antique art in our museum is almost wiped out, and there are few valuable boutiques left!

We have prepared 200 million US dollars in cash. How to pay? Bank transfer or check? Take your choice and start trading, I want to get back that famous Raphael painting as soon as possible! "

With that, Duke Torreschi couldn't help showing a painful expression on his face.

The same goes for the other Poles. Everyone grumbled distressedly, and the look in Ye Tian's eyes was very unfriendly.

The total value is nearly 500 million US dollars! What a fortune! If someone knocked away in this way, anyone would feel distressed and tremble! Without exception!

As soon as Duke Torreschi's voice fell, Ye Tian said with a chuckle:

"Hehehe, Mr. Duke, you are insincere! Are you really unlucky? You know, what you took back is Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man, a well-deserved Polish national treasure!

And what you paid was shelved. There are not many Chinese antique artworks that Poles know how to appreciate. In my opinion, you definitely made a profit. Of course, I am also very satisfied with this transaction!

The repurchase of 200 million US dollars, or bank transfer! Just transfer to our company account, but before trading, I have to appraise these Chinese antique works of art, don’t you object? "

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

Duke Torreschi smiled and cursed, with a helpless expression.

"Okay, let me enjoy these perfect artworks! This is what I want!"

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

While he was doing the appraisal, several Poles were not idle. They all gathered around the famous Raphael painting and watched the appraisal with scorching 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 "Hidden in the East Mountain" and said, his tone was full of regret, even a little bit painful.

The ink landscape painting he was referring to had several damages. These damages included both creases and scars caused by insect bites!

The most serious damage is a hole about fifteen centimeters long in the upper part of the painting. It looks like it was torn apart. It is shocking and distressing!

Duke Torreschi turned his head and glanced, then explained with a wry smile:

"Our museum has collected these antique works of art for more than 100 years. As you know, in the past 100 years or so, our Poland has been ill-fated and often in wars!

In those ages of war, not only was the fate of our country and people very miserable, even these antique works of art were not spared, and it is not easy to keep them until now!

Those injuries were caused by the displacement decades ago, UU reading www.uukanshu. com has no new scars. Although we are not the most famous museum, our professionalism is not lost to any top museum! "

Ye Tian agreed with him very much.

Under perspective, he has already understood the age of these damages, and it really has nothing to do with the current Torreschi Museum.

As before, the identification work was quickly completed.

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

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

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

And in the temporary meeting room behind them, there was already a high-five and cheers with excitement!

These cheers originated from several top Chinese antique artworks in the conference room, and an extra 200 million US dollars in the company's bank account!

There is no doubt that this is a happy ending!

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

After all the transactions are completed, some are time to celebrate, some are time crazy!

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

This is a famous museum that has suffered the most from international art robberies. We can't spare them lightly. Who will let them own countless top art works? It is really jealous! "

Ye Tian said jokingly, a stance of sharpening his sword to the pig and sheep.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter in the meeting room, and everyone laughed extremely cheerfully.

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