Upstairs, the room where the old vault is located.
Ye Tian opened the thick and sturdy vault door and walked in alone, preparing to take out the heavyweight antique artworks that are about to be auctioned, and take them downstairs for evaluation by Sotheby's experts.
By the way, let them open their eyes and shock these professionals!
Even in top auction houses like Sotheby's in New York, top art works like Pollock paintings are not common! It's pretty good to get a few pictures in a year!
In order to avoid suspicion, Jason did not enter the room, but waited outside the door, waiting for Ye Tian to open the door again and greet him to enter.
Soon, Ye Tian took out the antique works of art, put them on the table in the room, and closed the vault door again.
Afterwards, he stretched out his hand and pulled the door vigorously to confirm that it was closed! The mechanical code lock was rotated a few times quickly, completely disrupting the code and ensuring the safety of the vault.
All movements are very careful and very cautious! Meticulous!
After doing this, he opened the door and let Jason in.
"Jason, you take these two paintings, I take the Portland vase, and let's go downstairs together to shock the group of Sotheby's experts!"
Looking at the three objects on the table, Jason asked curiously:
"Steven, these two paintings are top art works. I understand that one is a work by'Picasso' Guayasamin and the other is a work by Pollock. They must be of extraordinary value!
But what value can this Portland vase have? Is it also a top antique? As far as I know, the real Portland vase has been kept in the British Museum. It can't be the real one!
The Portland vase is unique, as we all know, how can a replica of Wakewood compare with Pollock? You actually value it so much, I don't quite understand it! "
Not only did Jason have this question, I am afraid that everyone except Ye Tian was puzzled about it, and did not understand the value of this Portland vase!
But they didn't question it either. As long as Steven said it was top antique art, it definitely didn't run away! This vase must be a top antique!
Everyone is very sure about this, because Steven has never seen it, and this time it is no exception!
Prior to this, Ye Tian had not explained the Portland vase, and now, he does not intend to explain!
"Jason, who said that the copy is not worth the money? The value of this Portland vase is not necessarily lower than that of Pollock's paintings, or even worse!
Regarding the specific situation of this vase, I will give an explanation later, which is enough to solve your doubts, go downstairs, the guys downstairs are probably already eager to see! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, with a deep smile on his face.
"Okay! Let's go downstairs, I look forward to the moment when the answer is revealed!"
Jason nodded in response, and glanced at the Portland vase again, his eyes still full of curiosity.
Afterwards, the two walked out of the vault room and went downstairs with three top antique works of art!
This does not include General Sherman's marching notes. At this time, the notes were still vacuum packed and placed in a safe in the vault!
As for how to deal with this note, Ye Tian has not yet come up with a perfect solution. He didn't think of how to extract the maximum value of this note and bring him the most benefit.
Therefore, he does not intend to send this note for the time being, but intends to keep it in his own hands, and slowly consider how to handle it.
Of course, his operation in this way will definitely disappoint many people and make it even more tiring!
But which green onion are they? Ye Tian cares there again! Love so and so!
In the eagerly anticipated eyes of everyone, Ye Tian and Jason appeared in front of everyone again, holding in their hands a few top artworks that everyone had longed for and wanted to see.
Like Jason and the others, when they saw the Portland vase in Ye Tian's hands, all the appraisal experts present were stunned, their eyes full of incredible!
Why is Steven carrying a Portland vase? Is this the top antique art? how is this possible?
Everyone knows clearly that it is definitely a copy! If it is a real Roman Portland vase, it will surely make a sensation in the world, worth five or six billion dollars!
Why does a copy make Steven so important? Does this guy miss it? This possibility is too small to happen! Who heard this guy walked by?
In an instant, everyone was full of question marks and full of curiosity!
"Ladies and gentlemen, these are the top antique artworks that everyone desperately wants to see. I am going to send them for shooting. There are three pieces in total, one vase and two paintings!
Everyone, please come with me to appreciate these antique artworks together, and then everyone can start appraisal and give your most professional and authoritative appraisal opinions and conclusions.
I believe that everyone will be able to harvest surprises and enjoy the unique charm of these top art works. I hope that everyone will also surprise me and give me the most desired and beautiful answers! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, full of confidence in his words.
Then he took the vase and walked into the restaurant. There was a huge solid wood dining table, which was undoubtedly the best place to show!
Many Sotheby's experts followed, excited and curious!
Walking to the table and standing, Ye Tian immediately said to Jason:
"Jason, you are waiting with these two paintings. I am going to show the Portland vase first to solve everyone's doubts, lest you continue to be tortured by curiosity!"
"Ok!"
Jason nodded in response, stepped aside, and looked at the Portland vase curiously.
The rest of the scene is the same, all looking forward to the answer!
Ye Tian didn't start showing right away, but continued to arrange.
"Walker, Raymond, the answer will be revealed soon, and everyone's emotions may be more agitated, or there may be larger physical movements that damage this vase!
All you two have to do is to protect this Portland vase, don't let too many people approach it at the same time, only allow two people to visit it at a time, line up to admire it, don't let it go! "
"Okay! Steven, we know what to do!"
Walker and Raymond replied in unison, then walked to the table and stood ready to perform the task.
Due to the delay in escorting antique art to Sotheby's, Matisse and his team are fully armed, wearing body armor and holding automatic rifles.
At this moment, Walker and Raymond were holding automatic rifles and stood murderously to the table. The air in the entire restaurant instantly solidified, and the temperature seemed to drop several degrees!
"hiss--!"
Seeing this scene, many appraisal experts couldn't help but breathe in air! Looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded, at Walker and Raymond holding rifles, and the Portland vase!
As for such fanfare? Exaggerated, right? Is that Portland vase really a top treasure?
After a short pause, Ye Tian shouted into the living room again:
"Anderson, bring the detection tools I prepared and my laptop. I want to give you a live demonstration."
"Okay! Here comes it!"
Anderson responded, then took a few equipment and a laptop to the restaurant and handed it to Ye Tian.
This is an endoscope with its own display and two cameras with cranks.
Endoscopes are very common in hospitals. They are mainly used to check the internal conditions of the human body and are a very important medical device.
But it is not only used in the medical field, it is also a very important tool in the field of antique identification!
Especially when appraising antique porcelain, it can play an important role. As long as you are an expert in antique porcelain appraisal, almost one person!
It can be used to check the internal conditions of vases and other utensils to check whether there are hidden secrets, cracks, special marks, traces of forgery, etc. inside the utensils. It is very useful!
This set of endoscopes that Anderson brought here is what it does. Ye Tian intends to use it to show the inside of the Portland vase and reveal the answer for everyone!
The two cameras with cranks also have this function. Using them, you can clearly show the situation inside the vase on the laptop and show it to everyone!
After receiving these devices and checking them a little bit, Ye Tian smiled and said to everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you will see a set of fascinating pictures next, they can reveal the secrets of this Portland vase, I must be very eager to know the answer! Stay tuned!"
With that, he picked up the endoscope and carefully inserted the probe into the mouth of the Portland vase.
The eyes of all the appraisal experts at the scene were staring at the monitoring screen of the endoscope, and each pair of eyes was full of expectation and curiosity 8)
