Chapter 1299: Excited French
Ye Tian took the lead in extending his right hand to the old friend, smiling and saying:
"Good noon, Mr. Benova, long time no see, I am glad to see you here, Antwerp today is not very peaceful, I did not expect you to arrive in this city as scheduled!"
Benoit, director of the Museum of the Palace of Fontainebleau, stepped forward and shook hands with Ye Tian.
"Steven, good noon, we have indeed been missing for a long time, and I am also very happy to see you here. The only unhappy thing is that we are probably going to be ransacked by you again!
For France, the top jewellery of Queen Mary has extraordinary historical significance. For them, even if Antwerp becomes a battlefield where bullets fly, we will come as scheduled! "
"You are right, Mr. Benoit, especially the famous diamond necklace, embodies a period of history during the French Revolution. Its appearance will rewrite part of French history!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, a little triumphant in his eyes.
After greeting the old friend in front of him, Ye Tian extended his right hand to another Frenchman, Martinez, director of the Louvre Museum.
"Good noon, Mr. Martinez, I am Steven. I am glad to meet you. I didn't expect you to come to Antwerp in person. It was a bit unexpected to me!"
Martinez stepped forward, shook hands with Ye Tian, and said with a smile:
"Good noon, Mr. Steven. I am Jean Luc Martinez, the curator of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. I am also very happy to meet you, and I have long admired your name!
The appearance of Queen Mary’s top jewellery has caused a huge sensation in French culture. As the curator of the Louvre, I really want to bring them back to Paris myself! "
"If you can meet my exchange conditions, you can bring those top jewellery back to Paris and show them in the Louvre or Fontainebleau!
If we cannot reach an agreement, I am very sorry, the top jewellery of Queen Mary will remain in my hands, and I will bring them back to the United States.
I do not intend to collect those top jewellery items. They will appear in the New York autumn auction this year. At that time, you are welcome to participate in relevant auctions in New York! "
Ye Tian said with a light smile, and cast a curse on these Frenchmen.
Hearing these words, the expressions of all the French people at the scene changed. Everyone's eyes were full of anger. The hateful teeth were itching, but there was no alternative!
"Sure enough, as in the legend, you are an extremely greedy guy. I opened my eyes today. It seems that Benova is right. We are probably going to be ransacked by you!"
Martinez said with a wry smile, his eyes full of jealousy, also a bit painful.
After a few words of greeting, Benoit and Martinez began to introduce the entourage. The rest of the French were high-level officials from two famous museums and famous antique art appraisal experts!
In addition to these insiders, there is an official from the French Ministry of Culture, who is about forty years old.
After the other party finished introducing, Ye Tian also introduced the people around him.
After getting to know each other and chatting for a few words, everyone went to the conference table and sat down separately.
Just sitting down, Benova asked curiously:
"Steven, is the incident in Antwerp today related to you? I know that wherever you go, there will be a huge wave, even a **** storm!"
"Then you have wronged me, Mr. Benoit, I am a pacifist, and I am definitely not a militant who likes to cause trouble. It seems that everyone has a deep misunderstanding of me!
Today’s battle took place between the jewel thieves of the Pink Panther and the Antwerp police. The guys in the Pink Panther should be here for today’s jewelry and diamond auction.
It is not right to say that it is totally unrelated. The reason why we came to Antwerp was also for that auction, but we are the most generous buyers, not robbers with guns! "
Ye Tian said with a relaxed smile, completely looking like an outsider.
How do these French people know that he deliberately disclosed the news to the Antwerp police in today's battle, so that the police and the Pink Panther met on a narrow road and struck each other to death!
Whether the Antwerp police or the scumbags of the Pink Panthers, they are all pawns on his chessboard, and also a group of unlucky takers!
Hearing what he said, the French people sitting opposite rolled their eyes, obviously no one believed it!
After talking about two other things, everyone got into the topic.
"Steven, if I'm not wrong, what is in this portable safe should be the top jewels of Queen Mary?"
Martinez pointed to the portable safe on the conference table and asked, his eyes hot and expectant.
The other French people are the same, all staring at the titanium alloy portable safe, reluctant to look away, lest the safe disappear out of thin air!
"You guessed it, Martinez. There are indeed those top jewellery in this safe. They once belonged to Queen Mary, but now they belong to me. There is no doubt about that!
In addition to the top jewellery pieces of extraordinary historical significance, there are also a few dazzling and valuable diamonds, which are the trophies I just took at the auction! "
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, giving an affirmative answer.
As soon as the voice fell, Martinez said excitedly:
"Awesome! Steven, regardless of whether these top jewels belong to France or you personally, please open this safe and take out those jewels!
We want to admire the legendary jewellery, especially the famous diamond necklace closely related to the French Revolution. Who would have thought that it still exists in the world!
After we have finished appreciating and appraising these jewels and determining their authenticity, let's talk about other things. Before that, everything is no use, so why waste saliva! "
"No problem, since we are going to talk to you about the transaction, naturally we have to let you appreciate and appraise the jewelry. This is a necessary procedure. Only in this way can we continue to talk.
For the authenticity of those jewellery, I am very sure, they are indeed true! I am extremely confident in my ability to appraise antique works of art, and I can never get it wrong!
Gentlemen, please be mentally prepared, and please restrain your emotions. Next, you will see a set of legendary antique jewelry that can rewrite part of the history of the French Revolution! "
With that said, Ye Tian pulled the titanium alloy portable safe in front of him and started to open the safe.
He first pressed his fingerprints, and then entered a set of numeric codes before opening this small but extremely sturdy safe.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a few objects wrapped in white silk and satin from the safe, lined up and placed them gently on the conference table.
The white silks and satins used to wrap the items are the white silks used to wrap the jewellery when they are found. They are also antiques!
Although I haven't seen the top jewellery of Queen Mary ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ just seeing the white silk and satin on the outside made the French people on the opposite side excited and exclaimed one by one.
"Shield-shaped iris! That's a symbol of the Bourbon dynasty, absolutely correct!"
"The authenticity of Queen Mary's jewellery is still unknown, but these pieces of white silk and satin are definitely authentic French royal items, such as fake replacements!"
The exclamation had not yet fallen, and Ye Tian's slightly triumphant voice came into the ears of everyone on the scene again.
"Good eyesight! Gentlemen, these white silks and satin used to wrap things are, of course, French royal products that are fake. They have a history of more than two hundred years, and they are somewhat antique!
But compared with the top jewellery wrapped in it, these white silks are not worth mentioning. Those top jewellery full of legendary colors are the most beautiful and priceless treasures!
Let me introduce these treasures to everyone. The thing wrapped in this piece of white silk is a diamond bow brooch, Queen Mary’s beloved jewellery,..."
