Chapter 1563: Ransacked all of Europe
After greeted Jason and the others, under the protection of many security personnel, Ye Tian and the others pushed their luggage and walked over to a VIP lounge not far away.
The many media reporters who were waiting at the exit of the VIP channel, looking to see through, immediately followed with their cameras and video cameras, each stepping fast and excited!
What happened at the exit of the VIP channel quickly caused a sensation in the hall.
Everyone nearby turned their heads and looked here. When they saw Ye Tian and Betty, people immediately understood why the VIP channel exit was so lively and why the media reporters were so excited.
Without exception, the eyes of people looking at Ye Tian are full of envy, even jealousy, and they want to replace him!
On the other side, under the protection of Matisse and the others, and under the supervision of David and his team of lawyers, the top antique artworks shipped from France have also begun to clear customs!
Due to the large number of top antique artworks and the high value of each piece, customs clearance inspection must take a long time, less to say, three or four hours!
During this time, Ye Tian happened to hold a press conference to explain to the news media about the top antique artworks. This is also a kind of self-protection!
Of course, the reason why he did this is to take the opportunity to speculate, so as to prepare for the next series of major antique art transactions!
The location that Jason chose for the press conference was a VIP lounge in the waiting hall. The area was large enough and the security situation was quite good!
While talking, Ye Tian and the others had already arrived at the door of this VIP lounge and walked straight in.
At this time, this VIP lounge was crowded with people, and it was very lively. Standing at the door and looking out, the lounge was full of reporters from major news media, talking in full swing!
The moment the door of the lounge opened, everyone turned their heads and looked here.
When they saw Ye Tian coming in, these guys immediately stood up from their seats, their eyes shining brightly, as if they had seen a huge treasure!
"Steven, good noon, welcome back to New York, is it convenient to answer a few questions?"
A female reporter near the door was the first to speak out, looking like she couldn't wait.
Ye Tian turned his head to look at this one, then smiled and said:
"Good noon, this lady, I am very happy to see you here, don't worry, after we sit down, we will answer your and other reporter friends' questions, we have time!"
Upon hearing this, the beautiful reporter nodded slightly, and did not continue to ask questions.
The other media reporters in the lounge are the same. They can only resist the urge to ask questions and watch Ye Tian and his party!
Ye Tian and the others continued to move forward, passing among the many media reporters, and soon came to the innermost sofas in this VIP lounge, and sat down!
After sitting down, Ye Tian first chatted with Jason a few words in a low voice to understand the situation.
At the same time, a company employee quickly turned on the already arranged camera and began to broadcast the press conference live on the Internet, so as to avoid some media indiscriminate editing and out of context, thereby misleading the public!
Seeing this scene, all the media reporters in the lounge couldn't help frowning, all of them depressed, and what's more, they had already cursed secretly!
This is another trick, Steven, the cunning bastard, who guards us like a thief. Is it so cautious?
Ye Tian doesn't care what these media reporters think and whether they are in a happy mood, he only cares whether he can achieve his goal smoothly!
After getting a general understanding of the situation in New York, Ye Tian and Jason ended the topic and looked at many media reporters on the scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good noon, it’s been a long time, I’m glad to see you all here, the weather in New York today is very good, and I hope everyone is in the same mood.
Why are you here? I know very well. I won’t say too many polite words here. Do you have any questions? Now I can ask questions. I will try my best to answer! "
Ye Tian said with a smile on his face, and announced the start of the press conference.
As soon as the voice fell, seven or eight media reporters immediately stood up from their seats like an electric shock, ready to ask questions.
However, Ye Tian raised his hands and gently pressed down.
"Sit down and ask questions, so it’s a little more relaxed, there is no need to be so formal"
Upon hearing this, the reporters nodded and sat down one after another.
As they sat down, a reporter in the front row raised the question first.
"Steven, I'm a reporter from Fox Television. The major news media in Europe are now full of mourning, saying that you ransacked France, ransacked Britain, and ransacked all of Europe!
As far as I know, many European countries have issued public statements, claiming the top antique artworks in Napoleon’s treasures. How do you respond to the claims of these countries? "
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and many people laughed, many of them gloating.
The faces of those media reporters from Europe are not so pretty.
Someone on the Internet has already noticed the press conference that has just started. In front of some computers, there was also a burst of laughter, and every voice was full of envy!
Ye Tian looked at the reporter who asked the question, then smiled and said:
"It is undeniable that I did gain a lot from the St. Touen flea market in Paris, the Notting Hill antique market in London, and other places, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that I ransacked the whole of Europe!
As for the Napoleon’s treasure hidden deep under the 15th Avenue of Shannones, let alone looting. I am just a discoverer. To speak of looting, it can only be said that Napoleon looted the European countries.
Regarding the ownership of the top antique artworks in Napoleon’s treasures, I have spoken to several important figures in France on a private occasion, and I said it very clearly.
Now that this reporter friend mentioned it again and many European countries have publicly issued statements claiming the top antique works of art from Napoleon’s treasures, I will take this opportunity to repeat it!
As early as more than two hundred years ago, after Napoleon's defeat, many European countries as victorious countries had a lot of opportunities to recover all the antique works of art looted by Napoleon and his army.
However, they gave up this opportunity. Under the lobbying of the French, those European countries reached an agreement with the French government at that time and gave up the ownership of most of the looted antique works of art.
According to historical records, they recovered only about 5,000 antique works of art and recognized the French government's ownership of the remaining antique works of art. They never mentioned it for more than 200 years.
To this day, I have discovered Napoleon’s treasures. Those European countries are embarrassed to jump out and claim the top antique artworks. Here I can only advise them, don’t daydream!
More than two hundred years ago, when they reached an agreement with the French government at the time, they would forever lose the qualification to claim the top antique artworks. Today, they want to regret it again, how can there be such a good thing!
Let’s talk about the French government. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, in order to solve the financial crisis, the French government auctioned the 15th Avenue of Shannones, and they lost the ownership of Napoleon’s treasure...."
Hearing Ye Tian's remarks, most of the media reporters at the scene agreed and nodded in agreement.
Although the reporters from various European countries had different opinions, they couldn't find any reason to refute for a while, so they could only sit in their seats depressed.
At this time in European countries, some people who saw this press conference on the Internet have already cursed in their throats!
These guys both cursed Ye Tian~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and cursed the people in power in their respective countries more than two hundred years ago. Everyone was very angry, but very helpless!
Who made the former powers of their own country a bunch of idiots, is it possible to dig graves and whip corpses? Even then, it is of no use!
As soon as Ye Tian's voice fell, a media reporter immediately asked:
"Steven, I'm a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Thompson, can you tell me how you deal with the top antique artworks in Napoleon's treasure?
For example, the earliest discovered "Napoleon's Entry into Vienna", the Crown of the Holy Roman Empire, Raphael's "The Madonna", Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" and so on.
According to reliable sources, you sold the first edition of the Napoleonic Code to Bernard, the richest man in France, for an amazing price of 800 million euros. Is this news true? "
Everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, as did all viewers on the live broadcast. This is one of the issues that everyone cares most about.
