Just as Derek and the others celebrated wildly, Martinez, who was on the side, stared at them with bright eyes, staring at the few extremely rare and valuable antique gold coins in their hands.
Obviously, Martinez was tempted. He wanted to put those special and research-worthy antique gold coins in his bag. As for whether he would collect them or put them in the Louvre, it is unclear.
When the cheers fell and the scene was a little quieter, Ye Tian smiled again and said loudly:
"Martinez, Mr. Minister, you can call back to Paris, and let your cultural and cultural personnel and antique art appraisal experts come to Lyon. If possible, it is best to get here today.
When they arrive, we will start the identification and evaluation work overnight. Then, we can divide these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics. I don't mind selling you half of the treasures we get.
However, I have a special request. If I keep those gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics in France, then I ask for a certain percentage of tax exemption. The French art tax burden is too heavy! "
Hearing his words, the scene immediately became noisy again.
"Okay, Steven, I will contact the museum immediately and ask them to send the best cultural and cultural team and antique art appraisal experts to come to Lyon as soon as possible. I will definitely be here today!
You agreed to keep half of the treasures you allocated in France and sell us the antiques. It's great. I'm very interested in the antiques in this treasure! "
Martinez nodded excitedly, then took out his cell phone, ready to contact the staff of the Louvre.
Several other Frenchmen who were also on the scene reacted quite differently from him.
"Steven, I can contact the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Culture and ask them to organize a team of experts to come to the Argeny Castle as soon as possible. I also very much hope that these antiques can be left in France.
However, you asked for a certain percentage of art tax exemption. Is this request too much? Furthermore, whether or not part of the tax can be exempted is not something that the Ministry of Culture can decide! "
The French Minister of Culture gritted his molars and said, his complexion was rather ugly.
Ye Tian looked at the senior official of the French government, then smiled and said:
"Mr. Minister, of course I know that your Ministry of Culture does not have the power to exempt taxes, but the French President does. Although Mr. President is not here, his special envoy is here."
With that said, Ye Tian looked at the guy from the Elysee Palace and nodded at him with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cronies of the French president suddenly changed his face and shook his head hurriedly and said:
"Steven, don't think about tax exemption, it's impossible! You guy got such a huge fortune in vain, and you don't want to pay taxes yet, it's too greedy!"
For his remarks, the rest of the Frenchmen agreed very much, nodding their heads frequently, and hating Ye Tian.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said confidently:
"Nothing is impossible! I received certain tax incentives when dealing with Napoleon's treasure before, especially the most important top antique artworks and historical documents, all of which are tax-free.
This is also true today. I am a businessman and I must pursue the maximization of profits. If there is no moderate tax concessions, I will bring all the gold and silver treasures and antiques back to New York for disposal in New York!
In that case, although France, as a treasure burial site, can receive a staggering amount of tax, it will definitely be much less than the tax received from a transaction in France. The two are far apart.
More importantly, if these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics are processed in New York, the buyers participating in the competition must come from all over the world. How many antiques and cultural relics can be photographed at that time depends on the strength of France! "
"What a bastard! It's so greedy, and even more than the rumor!"
A few French guys secretly made complaints, but they were helpless.
Before these French guys could respond, Ye Tian continued:
"You can contact the Elysée Palace and ask about Mr. President's opinion. Maybe he will nod and agree. In that case, it will be a good thing for both of us.
Before you call back to Paris, I have to remind one thing. With the emergence of this treasure, the guys stopped by the police outside the castle have become a major safety hazard.
According to the investigation of my staff, among the guys outside with unpredictable minds, there are many members of the Mafia from Italy, and they are all members of the largest faction of the Mafia, "Our Cause".
Compared to "our business", the Roman Casamonica family and Palermo Bernano family that I have met before are not worth mentioning. I believe everyone is familiar with "our business".
In addition to the Italian mafia, among the group of people outside, there are also Russian gangsters who have followed all the way from Cyprus, as well as many gangsters, art thieves, thieves and so on.
Once the news of the discovery of this treasure spreads out, I can guarantee that the guys outside the castle who are staring at it will never stay outside to watch the excitement anymore. They will definitely try to sneak into the castle.
If you don't want to see the castle of Argeny turn into a bullet-flight battlefield, and you don't want the beautiful city of Lyon to be full of smoke, it is best to take the initiative and drive away the guys outside as soon as possible, just in case! "
Not surprisingly, the scene boiled again.
"What? A large number of Mafia members from'Our Career', I heard that right? When did the **** scum come to Lyon? This is too bad!"
"Oh my God!'Our business', the Russian gangs, these are all proper scum, it seems we have to preemptively, otherwise those scum may really turn Lyon into a battlefield where bullets fly."
As everyone exclaimed, Count Bogère was already pale with fear in his eyes.
This is my own home, and it is an ancient castle built by my ancestors and passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. It is one of the symbols of the Boge family. If it is destroyed, the loss will be too great!
Thinking of this, Count Beaugé immediately turned his head to look at the French Minister of Culture and the guy from the Elysee Palace, with his intentions self-explanatory.
On the other side, the Bishop of Kent quietly gave Ye Tian a thumbs up.
What a plot to kill someone by borrowing a knife, it's too overcast!
Soon, several French guys took out their mobile phones and walked aside to contact Paris. Even the Archbishop of Lyon walked aside to contact the bigwigs in Lyon.
Only Count Bogé remained in place, guarding the dazzling gold and silver treasures and many antique cultural relics on the ground, and he was not willing to move a step away.
Ye Tian looked at everyone at the scene again, then smiled and said:
"Jacques, we should leave the stable too The smell here is not very good. As for these gold and silver treasures and antiques, they also need to be moved to a safer place for storage.
You'd better find a very sturdy room with no windows and only one door to enter. Let's move these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics to store them just in case.
Next, I will send two armed security personnel and an assistant lawyer to guard the room. For the sake of fairness, you can also send your cronies and lawyers to participate.
When the Parisian antique art appraisal experts arrive here, we will immediately start appraisal and evaluation work, and then divide the treasure, complete these tasks as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams! "
"Okay, Steven, I very much agree with your arrangement. The airtight and unusually strong secret room is in the main building of the old castle. We can just transfer these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics there!"
Count Boge nodded vigorously, looking like he couldn't wait.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start now!"
With that, Ye Tian leaned down and reached out to cover a box.
