Chapter 1384: Sweeping
It was about five o'clock in the afternoon that Ye Tian and the others finished their visit, came out of the warehouse where Chinese antiques were stored, and returned to the China Pavilion again.
After returning to the China Pavilion to rest and chat for a few moments, Benova came to the topic.
"Steven, you have visited all the Chinese antique artworks in our Fontainebleau Palace collection. Those who are in a box and are inconvenient to open for viewing, you have also seen the relevant catalog!
I wonder if you have selected the Chinese antique artworks for this transaction? If you have chosen, can you tell us something about it? I really want to know what darlings you are after! "
"All the Chinese antique artworks in the collection? Why don't I believe it! The number of Chinese antique artworks in the Fontainebleau Palace collection is definitely more than these thousands, right?"
Ye Tian shook his head lightly and said, looking at Benova with a smile, with deep meaning in his eyes!
How many antique works of art from the Old Summer Palace are in the Palace of Fontainebleau? When he visited the antique warehouse just now, Ye Tian had already understood through perspective!
The warehouse that Benova showed them to visit indeed contained only a few thousand Chinese antique works of art, but another warehouse separated by a wall was full of valuable Chinese antique works of art.
The scale of that warehouse and the amount of Chinese antique artworks stored are several times, even ten times as large as the warehouse they visited!
Obviously, these French guys are playing tricks.
The reason is that those Chinese antique works of art are stolen by thieves. They are treasures looted by the French army from the Old Summer Palace. Making them public will only embarrass the French government and the French!
If the existence of those antique works of art is known to the outside world, it will definitely attract Chinese voices, and it will not look good. How can the French be willing to give up so many valuable antique works of art!
Rather than causing trouble by disclosing those antique Chinese artworks, why not hide those antique artworks?
Perhaps it is precisely based on this consideration that the Fontainebleau Palace has never publicly displayed those antique works of art, nor has it been publicized, how many treasures they have from the Old Summer Palace!
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Benova's old face couldn't help but flushed, and the other French guys were the same, their expressions were a bit awkward.
But after all, these guys are old foxes who have been in the field of antique art for decades. Those old faces have long been practiced to be thicker than the city walls, and they are only basic skills.
In the blink of an eye, the expressions of these French guys returned to normal.
After a short pause, Benova said vowedly:
"Steven, the Chinese antique artworks you saw today are indeed all the collections of our Chinese Pavilion at the Palace of Fontainebleau, and there is nothing to hide! Please believe this!"
"Believe you? It's nonsense, I only believe in my own eyes! I only believe in everything I see with my own eyes, that is the most real thing!"
Ye Tian murmured to himself, a look of disdain flashed under his eyes.
However, he didn't bother with this issue, and couldn't delve into it. Could it be that he found another warehouse full of antique works of Yuanmingyuan?
He nodded slightly, then smiled and said:
"Well, Benoit, I'll just say that I was fancy to those antique artworks, and I chose them to exchange Queen Mary's top jewellery to complete this art transaction.
Let me talk about the antique works of art displayed in the exhibition hall of the China Pavilion. The first one is the set of extremely exquisite five cloisonne offerings made during the Qianlong period. I want to include them in my bag! "
"That set of five cloisonne offerings? You guy is really dark enough to start, and one shot is our collection of fine products. I don't know if that set of cloisonne five offerings counts as one piece or five antique works of art?"
Benova interjected and asked, his expression a little painful.
"Of course it counts as one thing, it's a set of things, if they are scattered, the value will definitely be greatly reduced!
Ye Tian said decisively, his tone beyond doubt.
Hearing this, the facial muscles of many French guys on the scene couldn't help but twitch. They were all frightened by Ye Tian's amazing appetite!
However, they did not interrupt Ye Tian aloud, but continued to listen, everyone biting their posterior molars hard.
Ye Tian glanced at these French guys, then smiled and said:
"The second antique artwork that I have selected is also displayed in this exhibition hall. It is the three-legged bronze round tripod cast in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, that national treasure!
Everyone knows what the tripod means in ancient China, so I want to bring it back to China and display it in my exhibition hall. That is where it should exist most.
The third piece of antique art is the set of gilt bronze chimes cast in the early Western Han Dynasty. Like the five cloisonne offerings before, that set of sixteen chimes can only be counted as one!
Besides, the fourth antique artwork is the Hetian Jade Ding from the Ming Dynasty jade carving master Lu Zigang. I like that jade very much and want to put it in the study room to enjoy!
The fifth piece of antique art I chose is the Northern Song Dynasty Garlic vase with gold wire and iron wire, the sixth is the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln sky celadon brush wash, and the seventh is the pair of Northern Song Dynasty Jun Kiln plum vases!
I have only selected so many antique artworks on display in the China Pavilion. To be honest, it is very difficult to make this choice. If the quota is not limited, I would like to include all the treasures! "
The French guys headed by Benova were completely stunned by these words. They stared at Ye Tian with their eyes widened, and their eyes almost flew out of their sockets!
It can be seen that each of them is very angry, their faces are blue, and their eyes are eager to spit out fire, wishing to burn Ye Tian directly to relieve the hatred in their hearts and give them a good breath!
Ye Tian saw all these French guys' reactions in his eyes, but he didn't care about it at all. There is still a major event behind!
Betty and the others also saw the angry expressions of a group of French guys, they all tried to suppress their smiles, not to make themselves laugh, that would not look good!
Before Benoa and others could refute, Ye Tian continued to smile and said:
"After talking about the antique works of art displayed in the China Pavilion, let's talk about the treasures we saw in the antique warehouse. There are also many antique works of art that make me fascinated!
Let's talk about porcelain first. The first is the Guan Er vase in the Northern Song Dynasty, the second is the Ming Yongle blue and white fold-out flower and fruit pattern hexagonal vase, and the third is the pair of Southern Song Longquan kiln plum vases and the Chenghua Doucai press cup!
After talking about porcelain, let’s talk about calligraphy and painting. Because of those stupid French soldiers, your collection of Chinese paintings and calligraphy is not too many, but there are no shortage of fine works, which makes me quite moved.
That famous painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, the first of its kind in the Southern Song Dynasty’s vigorous and vigorous ink and wash paintings, Li Tang’s "Yuyintu", I really like it, and I really want to hang it in the study room and appreciate it every day..."
Next, Ye Tian listed a series of top Chinese paintings and calligraphy works, each of which can be regarded as a real priceless treasure, and it is a fine product among the fine works!
Listening to the list of Chinese antique artworks he reported one by one~www.wuxiaspot.com~Benoir, they were so angry that their noses were almost smoky, one by one they suppressed their anger, staring at Ye Tian, wishing to stop him. Tear up and feed the dog!
Therefore, as soon as Ye Tian's voice fell, Benova broke out completely and screamed directly.
"Impossible, it is absolutely impossible! Steven, you are an extremely greedy bastard, I have never seen a **** more greedy and crazier than you!
Until this moment, I did not understand Martinez and those guys at the Guimet Museum. You are indeed not a lion's mouth, you are simply trying to rob our museum!
It is undeniable that the top jewellery of Queen Mary is indeed very attractive, but is it a bit too much to exchange them for all the fine items in a museum? "
Looking at Benova, who was flushed and angry, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
Immediately afterwards, he took the medicine according to the prescription, and moved out the previous rhetoric against Martinez and the guys at the Guimet Museum, and applied it to Benova and the others!
