Just after ten o'clock in the morning, a convoy drove out of the Beijing Hotel parking lot, headed west along Chang'an Avenue, and drove straight to Financial Street on the edge of West Second Ring Road.
At the beginning of the team was a police car with flashing lights, opening the road in front, followed by a Range Rover SUV, and then a black GMC commercial vehicle.
In the middle of the convoy was a huge and extremely sturdy armored escort, followed by two commercial vehicles, and finally another police car with flashing lights.
When this convoy drove by on Chang'an Avenue, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Many people are guessing the origin of this team and the identity of the people in the car.
Could it be that the head of state or politician of which small country is visiting? I will really pick time for the New Year! In all likelihood, they are here to fight the autumn wind!
Of course, this is not a convoy of politicians, but an **** convoy that followed Ye Tian to the Financial Street vault to extract antique art.
In addition to Ye Tian and Raymond, there were more than a dozen security personnel in the convoy, as well as eight special police officers from the city bureau. Two lawyers were also in the black GMC commercial vehicle.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chang'an Street, whether pedestrians or vehicles, is much less than usual, and the road is unimpeded!
Soon, the convoy arrived at Financial Street and drove into the underground parking lot of the bank headquarters where the treasury was located.
After confirming the safety of the surrounding environment, Ye Tian took two lawyers, security personnel and police, and followed the bank management into the vault.
Next, the process of extracting antique artworks went very smoothly.
After opening the door of the leased vault, Ye Tian immediately opened the perspective secretly and looked at the trolley boxes placed in the center of the vault.
Under perspective, the top antique works of art contained in several huge metal trolley boxes instantly appeared in Ye Tian's eyes, with unobstructed views.
All antique artworks are there, there is no shortage of one! It still maintains the state when it was stored, radiating a dazzling and charming light, which is dazzling!
After confirmation, Ye Tian and the others left the vault with these top antique artworks.
Before eleven o'clock, the convoy had safely returned to the Beijing Hotel.
Ten minutes later, the elevator door on the floor where the banquet hall was located opened, and Raymond and the others followed Ye Tian out of the elevator, pushing a luggage cart filled with trolley cases.
At the same time, the accompanying special police and security personnel also came out of another elevator and followed Ye Tian and the others like a shadow, always maintaining a high alert state.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, Ye Tian saw Lao Shan and the others who were waiting near the elevator.
Their team has grown a lot, and the number has more than doubled.
Manager Liu and Lao Liang from Rong Baozhai, two antique art appraisal experts from the Capital Museum, several experts from the National Museum, and several other famous collectors also joined the team.
In addition, Ye Tian also saw a very familiar face.
That was Ma Ye, who had dealt with in the New York autumn auction and had always been in contact with everyone, and he was also standing in the crowd.
Everyone in the group of people guarding the elevator is a famous figure in the domestic antique industry, the top experts and scholars, or the collectors!
And near the entrance of the closed exhibition hall, there are more than a dozen people standing, including men and women, relatively young, and they are talking and discussing enthusiastically.
Although the distance is still far away, Ye Tian can distinguish their identities at a glance from the clothing worn by these people.
This is a group of cultural and cultural personnel from the Forbidden City. Don't ask, it must be Lao Shan and Lao Jin who called to help set up the exhibition.
Without exception, from the elevator to the entrance of the exhibition hall, everyone is beaming and very excited! There is a bright smile on everyone's face, and everyone's eyes are full of expectation!
"Hey——! This scene is really too big! I'm flattered! Here, Xiaozi Ye Tianxian will give you New Year greetings, and a good New Year! I wish you all good health and good luck!"
Ye Tian let out an exaggerated expression, attracted everyone's attention, then clasped his fists in his hands and bowed to everyone present, and bowed to everyone.
His series of actions were thoughtful and impeccable, and instantly won the favor of everyone on the scene.
Before everyone could respond, he joked again and said loudly:
"You guys are so exalted and too generous! If this scene is spread, it will definitely make a sensation in the entire antique industry, and it will be enough for my life!"
Upon hearing this, laughter broke out at the scene.
"Hahaha"
Everyone laughed. Everyone looked at Ye Tian with admiration and envy in their eyes.
Who can not envy it? Unless he also owns dozens of top antique artworks that can be called national treasures, are there such people? Maybe there are, but definitely very few!
Amidst the laughter, Ma Ye's loud voice came over.
"Don't be stinky! We are not aiming at you, but at the top antique works of art, which are all national treasures! Who doesn't want to see it first?"
"Yes! It seems that I am passionate! In your eyes, I guess it is just a dispensable little kid, insignificant!"
Ye Tian nodded to Ma Ye and continued to joke with everyone.
"Hahaha"
There was another laughter, and many people nodded in agreement.
"Okay! Don't be stupid! Go in and set up the exhibition. We can't wait to admire those national treasures of antique art. Who has the mind to play with you here!"
Old Jin said with a smile, his eyes fixed on the trolley case on the luggage cart, his eyes were extremely bright, he looked like he couldn't wait.
"Yes, hurry up! Your kid won't come back, we won't even be able to enter the gate of that exhibition hall, we kept it really tight!"
Shan Lao echoed, also very anxious.
Although he had already admired this batch of top antique works of art at the airport, it would not be enough to appreciate this kind of national treasure once. He wished he could sleep in his arms every day!
"Go! I'll go in and set up the exhibition right away. If I'm late, I'm afraid it will cause public outrage!"
Ye Tian responded crisply, then took the luggage cart and walked towards the exhibition hall.
The two lawyers, more than a dozen security guards, and the police from the city bureau following him were secretly speechless at this time, and at the same time quite excited.
The performance of these top experts at the scene gave them a deeper understanding of the value of the antique artworks in a few trolley cases!
The absolute value is priceless! It is estimated that each piece is a national treasure.
While feeling shocked, they instantly felt that the responsibility on their shoulders was much greater.
There must be no flaws in this security mission. Once the top antique artworks are damaged, even the smallest damage, it is estimated that it will cause vibration, and the board on it will be knocked down immediately.
And the one who bears the board is undoubtedly his own security personnel, no one wants to escape!
Thinking of this, many security personnel on the scene immediately raised their alert level again, watching the surrounding situation vigilantly, and ready to respond at any time!
When walking past several experts in the Palace Museum, Ye Tian turned his head and smiled and asked:
"Lao Shan, Lao Jin, those at the entrance of the exhibition hall, should be the staff from the Forbidden City!"
As he said, he raised his finger to the few people at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
"Yes, they are all here to help set up the exhibition. The antique art in your kid's hand is too important to be damaged in any way.
These are the most professional cultural and cultural personnel with rich experience. I believe they will be helpful to you and can better protect and display those top antique artworks! "
Old Shan nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"I am very convinced that they are indeed the best cultural and cultural personnel in China. Is there a cultural and cultural institution that is more professional and prestigious than the Palace Museum? I can't think of a second one!
Since they are here, then I'm not welcome! To be honest, I am really a little uneasy about the service staff of the Beijing Hotel who are trained as a surprise. Thank you for your support! "
Ye Tian said a few words of kindness and expressed his gratitude.
While talking, everyone has already walked to the door of the exhibition hall.
Before opening the door and entering the exhibition hall, Shan Lao introduced Ye Tian to the staff of the Forbidden City. They mainly came from the Department of Ancient Paintings and Calligraphy and the Department of Utensils, and they all had very rich work experience.
After getting to know these staff and greeted each other, Ye Tian pushed the door of the exhibition hall and walked into the exhibition hall with the top antique artworks and the people who followed.
And the staff of the major auction houses guarding the door, as well as the few antique experts who came here but were not invited! They were all blocked by security personnel!
The gate of the exhibition hall soon closed again and the exhibition began!
