Chapter 1551: Have their own plans
After the long passionate kiss, Ye Tian and Betty sat down, drinking coffee and chatting in a low voice.
On the other side, Martinez and Antoine have been surrounded by everyone, and they are excitedly introducing the situation in the basement secret room, talking about it!
After talking with Betty, Anderson walked over, came to Ye Tian and said in a low voice:
"Steven, from the beginning of the exploration, as the antique works of Napoleon's treasures appeared one after another, many famous museums and top collectors called and expressed the meaning of buying.
Among them are the Metropolitan Museum, MOMA, the National Gallery of Art, the Getty Museum, etc. They all showed a strong interest in the top antique artworks in Napoleon’s treasures.
In particular, the two first editions of the "Napoleonic Code", Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", they all expressed their willingness to purchase at all costs!
In addition, there are some top collectors, such as several old friends who have dealt with before, Leon and Peter from the United States, Bernard from France, etc., have also expressed their strong willingness to acquire.
In particular, Bernard said over the phone that he was willing to purchase the two first editions of the Code of Napoleon, the works of Raphael and Michelangelo, and several other top art works at any cost.
Bernard is on vacation in Spain. When he called just now, his private jet was about to take off. It is estimated that he has already arrived in Paris. It is estimated that he will be here soon!
According to your instructions, I told everyone on the phone that everything will be done after the exploration action is completed and the necessary procedures have been completed. Then you will contact them in person to discuss related art transactions! "
After listening to the report, Ye Tian smiled and nodded immediately.
"Yes, it can only be arranged like this for the time being. If unsurprisingly, many of the top antique artworks found in Napoleon's treasures will be included in the restricted departure list and not allowed to leave France!
In particular, the two first editions of the Code of Napoleon, Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", 100% will be included in the list of restricted artworks.
Those top collectors can say that they can fly to Paris to buy them, and collect those top antique artworks in their villas or castles in France, without taking those treasures out of the country.
But famous museums like the Metropolitan have no way, unless they can get through all the links and make the French government nod and let them leave the country with relevant top antique artworks!
Of course, Bernard is not included here. He is French and lives in Paris. Naturally, he will not leave the country with the top antique works of art. It doesn't hurt to meet this old friend! "
Next, Anderson reported some other situations, as well as the current form inside and outside of Siti Island.
While talking, Perry, the US Ambassador to France, and the Cultural Counselor of the Embassy came over.
After coming to stand still in front of Ye Tian, Perry immediately said with excitement:
"Congratulations again, Steven, for discovering such a huge treasure and harvesting so many top antique works of art. I am so lucky to be extremely lucky and enviable enough to make people crazy!"
Ye Tian was not polite at all, smiled and nodded and said:
"My luck has always been good, and this time is no exception. It is indeed very lucky to be able to discover the treasures of Napoleon that have been hidden for more than two hundred years, and the top antique artworks in the treasures!"
With that said, Ye Tian asked Perry and the others to sit down.
After sitting down and chatting for a few words, Perry got to the point, and the buddy said in a low voice:
"Steven, I just received a call from the Oval Office of the White House. If possible, Mr. President hopes that you can bring the original version of the Napoleonic Code back to the United States and New York!
The significance of the two first editions of the "Napoleonic Code" is too great. They are not only French national treasures, but they can be called national treasures in any capitalist country.
If you can't bring both of the two "Napoleonic Codes" back to the United States, at least one of them must be brought back. Our embassy in France will do our best to assist you in this matter!
It doesn't matter if you take them out of France with diplomatic privileges. Once the original version of the Napoleonic Code arrives in the United States, the government will immediately come forward to purchase and will never treat you badly.
After the government's acquisition, the original "Napoleonic Code" will be placed in the White House and the Federal Supreme Court, and will be publicly displayed so that everyone can see it with their own eyes!
In addition to the original "Napoleon's Code", there are more than a dozen boxes of documents about Napoleon. They are also extremely precious and of great research value. I hope you can bring them back to New York!
Of course, if you can bring Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" and other top antique artworks back to the United States, it would be great! "
"Oh-! The ambition of the Oval Office is not small!"
Ye Tian exclaimed in a low voice with exaggerated expression, and then said jokingly:
"It is impossible to leave Paris openly with the two first editions of the Code of Napoleon, as well as those documents about Napoleon's brilliant career that can rewrite the history of the French Revolution!
Those are all undisputed French national treasures. How could the French government allow me to bring those treasures back to the United States? If they dare to do that, then wait to be completely overwhelmed by the surging saliva of the French people!
Without even thinking about it, the two first editions of the "Napoleonic Code" and those extremely important documents will be included in the list of antique works of art that are restricted from leaving the country. Maybe it has now become a fact!
Once they are included in the restricted departure list, I will never openly violate the law, forcibly or secretly take them away, and use the diplomatic privileges of embassy personnel in France to take them away. There is also no possibility.
If you really do that, the diplomatic staff of the embassy will have diplomatic immunity and nothing will happen, but I will get into huge trouble. Even if I can leave France smoothly this time, I won't even want to set foot in Europe in the future! "
Hearing these words, Perry suddenly lost his words, and for a while, he didn't know what to say!
At the same time, a look of fear flashed across his eyes.
Sure enough, exactly the same as in the legend, Steven this **** is too cunning, he is better than a monkey when he is stained with hair, and no one wants to take any advantage of him, the Oval Office is no exception!
Ye Tian looked at Perry and the Cultural Counselor of the Embassy, and then continued:
"This matter is not inflexible. Later, the French president will come here and have an interview with me. No need to ask, he is here for the original "Napoleonic Code" and those documents!"
"Ah! The President of France will be here later? Did I hear that right?"
Perry exclaimed in a low voice, the news was obviously a bit unexpected.
When I received a call from the French President’s Office before, for safety and confidentiality, Anderson did not announce the news, only notified Ye Tian and Matisse, others did not know!
Ye Tian nodded lightly and gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes, Perry, you heard that right. The French president will be here soon, along with the French Minister of Culture and other entourage. This is why I returned to the living room early.
At that time, you can participate in the meeting and make a request as the U.S. ambassador to France. Ask the French government to agree to let me leave France with the original version of the Napoleonic Code and those documents.
Of course, the President of France will certainly not agree to this request, but we can put it back and at least let me take one of the first editions of the Napoleonic Code and return to New York!
This goal is still possible. If all goes well, when I return to New York with the "Napoleonic Code", as long as the price is reasonable, I don't mind selling it to the US government! "
When the voice fell, Perry and the Cultural Counselor of the Embassy rolled their eyes together, and began to complain secretly.
"The person in the Oval Office of the White House still wants to use Steven to get the original "Napoleonic Code" and those extremely precious documents. Obviously, he is thinking too much!
In such a blink of an eye, this **** once again hit our heads, let us come forward to mediate with the French government to fight for his best interests!
Even if we talk about the President of France, whether the White House can get what he wants in the end depends on whether the price can satisfy the **** in front of us. We are just a group of silly boys! "
Thinking of this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Perry and the Cultural Counselor couldn't help but feel helpless. Who made Ye Tian sit in front of them, the initiative is in his hands!
At this moment, Matisse suddenly walked into the living room and quickly came to Ye Tian's side.
"Steven, the advance personnel of the French President have arrived, all of them are security guards from the Presidential Guard in plain clothes. They asked to enter this building for a security check!"
"It doesn't matter, even if you let them check, it is the French president who is here. Security check is essential. You take a few guys and Antoine and accompany the guys in the presidential guard to check together!
Except for the basement under the living room and the underground secret room, other places can be inspected. You have to be careful and don't forget to wear a micro camera! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, and quickly made arrangements.
"Okay, Steven, leave these things to us, and we will be more careful!"
Matisse nodded in response, then turned and left the living room.
