Chapter 1793： The most moving good news

Following Ye Tian's introduction, Cole and the others uncovered the white cloth on the antique artworks one by one, and displayed the sixteen top antique artworks one by one, presenting them in front of everyone.

The last piece of art that appeared on the stage was the masterpiece of Caravaggio, a classic oil painting that symbolized the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period.

When introducing the painting, Ye Tian deliberately increased the volume, introduced the painting to everyone on the scene with a passionate and contagious rhetoric, and reported a jaw-dropping valuation.

At this time, the scene of the appreciation meeting was already completely boiling.

The sights of the people present were all attracted by these top antique works of art in front of them. Everyone's eyes were shining, staring at those valuable treasures, with extremely hot eyes.

Some of them have even geared up, ready to fight at any time, and take down their favorite top antique works of art. That's a worthwhile trip.

As for the authenticity of these sixteen top antique artworks, and whether the valuation is reasonable, these guys have no doubt at all.

Some of them may not like Ye Tian, ​​or even hate him so hard that their teeth are tickling, but they all trust Ye Tian's vision of identifying antique works of art, and they absolutely don't believe that he will look away.

No one questioned the valuation given by Ye Tian for related antique artworks.

Everyone understands very well that the valuation given by Ye Tian is basically equivalent to the current market value. Even if it is deviated, it is very limited. This has been proven in many previous transactions.

When Ye Tian finished the introduction, everyone on the scene immediately rushed to the scene, each selected the target to start to appreciate the top antique works of art, and discussed in a low voice.

The top antique art appraisal experts who had been invited took out gloves and magnifying glasses and other appraisal equipment, and according to the tips given by Ye Tian during the explanation process, began to appraise the antique art.

As for the appraisal result, needless to say, there is no discrepancy with the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian.

With the release of these appraisal results, this small antique art appreciation meeting quickly turned into a private antique art fair.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian was surrounded by the super-rich wielding checks, top collectors, and representatives of several famous museums.

Next, there will be rounds of bargaining between you and me, and the scene is extremely hot.

By the end of this small appreciation event, the 16 top antique artworks displayed on the spot have all been sold, changed their owners, flowed out of Ye Tian's hands, and became other people's collections.

In particular, the painting by Modigliani and the masterpiece by Caravaggio were sold at an amazing price of 130 million Euros and 360 million Euros respectively!

As the owner of these top antique works of art, Ye Tian has naturally swept an astronomical amount of wealth, which is jaw-dropping and almost crazy to everyone's envy.

After the appreciation meeting was over, it was another very high standard reception, but the venue for the reception was changed to a banquet hall in another building.

In addition to the invited top collectors and super-rich, antique art appraisal experts, and other professionals, some senior officials of the Vatican also participated in the reception!

At the reception, Ye Tian was still the focus of the audience.

Those super-rich and top collectors laughed and talked with him, listened to him telling all kinds of treasure hunting adventures and thrilling stories, and hoped that he could buy valuable top antique art from him in the future.

Many top antique art appraisal experts surround him, discuss with him the techniques and methods of appraising antique art, and try to learn something from him.

Only Giovanni and those from the Italian Ministry of Culture and the Committee for the Protection of Historical Heritage stood in the distance with their wine glasses, gritted their teeth and looked at the vigorous Ye Tian. Everyone was itching with hatred.

The reception just ended at seven o'clock in the evening.

Those invited guests left one after another. Some opened their eyes and returned full of loads, while others left the Vatican with a little regret.

After sending away all the guests, Ye Tian and the others returned to their residence.

At this time, Anderson had already flown back to Rome from Beijing with several security personnel, and Jason and the others had also returned to the Vatican.

After returning to the guest room to rest for a while, after some washing, Ye Tian called everyone into the living room and began to arrange the next things.

After everyone arrived and chatted a few words, Ye Tian immediately got into the topic.

"Guys, our trip to Rome is coming to an end. After tomorrow's press conference, we will head to Jerusalem to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar"

Before the words were over, cheers had already sounded in the living room.

"Awesome! It's exciting to think about exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar!"

"Cool! This age-old mystery will surely be revealed by us and make the whole world a sensation!"

When the cheers fell slightly, Ye Tian continued to say:

"Before this, there are still some things to do, Jason, tell us about your situation, how is the progress?"

"Okay, Steven"

Jason nodded in response, and then began to introduce the situation.

"Today we went to Piazza Venezia and successfully won the target baroque building, signed a real estate transaction contract with the owner of that building, and reached an agreement with the existing tenants.

The Venetian Palace Museum also responded. They are willing to sell the two historical buildings in Renaissance style, but they still need to discuss the specific price at which they will contact us later."

With that said, Jason took out a real estate transaction contract and several other agreement documents from his backpack and handed it to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian took the documents and looked through it roughly, then changed hands and handed them to David for review.

He turned his head to look at Jason, smiled and said:

"Good job! Jason, you continue to stay in Rome, follow up on this matter, be sure to take down the two historical buildings in Renaissance style, even if you spend money on them, you will have to drop them down.

After you finish the two historic buildings and successfully obtain the real estate certificate, you can leave Rome, or return to New York, or join the joint exploration team! "

"Okay, Steven, we must take down the remaining two historical buildings. After we are done, I will go to you and join the joint exploration team. It is so exciting, I don't want to miss it!"

Jason nodded in response, his tone very firm and confident.

Next, Ye Tian turned to Anderson again.

"Anderson, I already know the situation in Beijing, so I don't need to introduce it. You have to go to New York again and send the rest of the antique art back to New York, and Matisse will greet you in New York.

Excluding the 16 top antique artworks just sold today, the remaining antique artworks are also valuable, but they will not be included in the list of restricted-exit artworks by the Italians.

There should be no problem with leaving Italy with those antique works of art. You only need to pay a completely negligible customs duty on the basis of the purchase price, and you can pass the customs smoothly.

Tomorrow morning, Betty will leave Rome in my private plane. You will return to New York first. After you transport the antique artworks to New York, you will fly back in my private plane! "

"No problem, Steven, you guys have become angels transporting treasures, but unfortunately they don't have wings!"

Anderson joked, and took the task.

Next, Ye Tian made some arrangements and talked to Matisse and Kenny in New York, and assigned some tasks to those guys.

While talking, it was already eight in the evening.

Suddenly, Cole's voice came from the headphones.

"Steven, there is a small antique dealer who set up a stall at the Botshamn open-air market who wants to see you with a few pieces of the statue. According to that guy, the incomplete ancient Greek sculpture in your hand was sold to him Rossini's!

When I searched and checked, I took a look at the statue fragments brought by that guy. Judging from the marble texture and sculptural style, it looked like that incomplete sculpture, and these statue fragments were all very large! "

Hearing what Cole reported, Ye Tian seemed to have a spring under his butt, and he sprang up from the sofa with a swish, shocking everyone in the living room.

Immediately afterwards, he turned on the miniature microphone of the invisible headset and said excitedly:

"Awesome! This is really good news, Cole, take that guy to the meeting room, we'll go over right away, and remember, don't show your feet, don't let that guy take the opportunity to ask prices!"

"Understand, Steven, leave it to us, don't worry!"

Cole responded and ended the call.

In the living room, Ye Tian briefly explained the situation and then took David and the others out of the guest room and walked quickly to the meeting room. Everyone was excited and full of expectations!

A few minutes later, a few of them came to the door of the conference room.

Before entering the meeting room, Ye Tian could not wait to turn on the perspective secretly and began to explore the situation in the meeting room.

When his gaze penetrated the wall, he immediately saw an excited guy with a greedy light in his eyes, sitting at the conference table, looking expectantly at the door of the conference room.

On the long conference table in front of him, there was a well-used metal trolley box. Ye Tian could see clearly what was in it.

"The upper half of the **** right leg of the idol of Athena, the part where the left shoulder connects to the neck, and the fragments of several other parts!"

Seeing the fragments of the statue of Athena radiating dazzling light, Ye Tian suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy, even a little dizzy.

Happiness is so violent that it caught people off guard!
