Chapter 1564: How much money did you make?

Ye Tian looked at the reporter who asked the question, nodded lightly at the other person, then glanced at the audience again, and then said with a smile:

"Obviously, this is a problem that everyone is very concerned about. If I want to know how I deal with the top antique works of art, then I will tell you about it, so as to avoid rumors.

Let me talk about the two original Napoleonic codes first. Undoubtedly, in the entire Napoleon treasures, those two codes have the highest value, and they are definitely the most valuable treasures of the country.

The rumors are true. I reached an agreement with Mr. Bernard, the richest man in France, to sell one of the original Napoleonic Codes to Mr. Bernard for a sky-high price of 800 million euros.

Here, I can also give you some information. It will not take long for people to see the original Napoleonic Code in the French National Library and the Louvre.

The first edition of the Napoleonic Code will be exhibited alternately at the French National Library and the Louvre. Having said that, I must praise Mr. Bernard, he is really a generous gentleman"

Although I have heard about this news from various channels, people are still shocked when they hear Ye Tian say it personally.

"Oh my God, this is actually true. The first edition of the Napoleonic Code was bought for a sky-high price of 800 million euros, which is incredible.

"Fak 800 million euros, I heard that right? Is this currency unit real? Isn't it supposed to be Italian lira? That's reasonable."

After a commotion, a reporter immediately followed up and asked:

"Then another original Napoleonic Code, Steven, did you sell it or brought it back to New York, can you tell us about it?"

Ye Tian chuckled softly, then continued:

"I don't intend to collect the original Napoleonic Code, and I sold that one at the same price of 800 million euros, the same as the one in Bernard's hand.

However, due to some special reasons, it is not convenient for me to reveal the identity of the buyer for the time being. I believe it will not be long before this secret will be made public, and everyone will naturally know by then"

"It's another 800 million euros. Steven is really making a lot of money. With just two first editions of the Napoleonic Code, he made 1.6 billion euros."

"Who will the mystery buyer be? It must be a super-rich in a certain country in Europe and America, or even the government of a certain country."

Just as people were amazed and speculated about the identity of the mysterious buyer, the person in the Oval Office of the White House showed a triumphant smile on his face.

But deep in his heart, he was aching.

Steven, this greedy bastard, is so cruel to get the knife, and he doesn’t leave any affection. That’s 800 million euros. It hurts to think about it.

"The other top antique works of art, Steven, and those historical documents closely related to Napoleon, how do you deal with them?"

A reporter in the second row from the left asked, the accent should be a reporter from the UK, with a London accent.

Ye Tian looked at this person, then smiled and said:

"Just follow the order of exploring Napoleon's treasures. It is more organized. First of all, naturally the historic building, the two artillery pieces and the large number of guns in the tunnel.

I sold all of the above things to Bernard, who intends to transform the historic building of special significance into a private museum. I am happy to see it happen.

Let’s talk about the masterpiece of the neoclassical master Jacques David. Napoleon entered Vienna. The Louvre paid for the painting at a price of 150 million euros.

According to the current market conditions, the price is a bit low, and I have suffered a lot of losses. If the painting is sent to auction, it is not impossible to get a sky-high price of 200 million euros.

After some necessary maintenance, when the neoclassical masterpiece has adapted to the external environment, the Louvre will display it in the French Painting Gallery for everyone to see and appreciate.

Speaking of this, Ye Tian deliberately made a painful expression, looking particularly awkward.

Hearing what he said, Martinez, who was far away at the Louvre in Paris, raised his eyebrows with anger, smoking straight out of his nose, and almost lifted the desk in front of him.

The price of 150 million euros is too low. You have suffered a lot and you have lost a lot of nonsense. Lao Tzu is the one who suffers.

Numerous media reporters on the scene rolled their eyes and complained secretly.

You **** will be willing to suffer. If you say it, who believes it, I guess ghosts won’t

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"As we all know, the crown of the Holy Roman Empire was placed alongside Napoleon's entry into Vienna, that is, the crown that symbolized the imperial power of the Habsburg family.

The crown was bought by a descendant of the Habsburg family. In response to the request of the party, I couldn't disclose the name of the other party or the transaction price of the crown of the Holy Roman Empire.

I can only tell you that the transaction price of that crown is very amazing, creating a new transaction record for similar antique works of art, and truly reflecting its enormous value.

Although it is inconvenient to disclose the transaction price of the Holy Roman Empire crown, the various taxes and fees borne by our company will not be less than a penny. Our company has always been law-abiding"

Hearing this, in Austria as far away as Europe, there are already countless people cursing frantically with their throats, and they are extremely angry.

"Fak Stevens, you are a bastard, that crown belongs to our Austrian national treasure, not to the decadent and **** Habsburg family"

"Go to hell, Steven, you greedy bastard, don't come to Austria in the future, you bastard, or I will want you to look good."

While cursing wildly, all Austrians were completely desperate.

Every one of them understands that the crown of the Holy Roman Empire has nothing to do with Austria.

At the same time, in Liechtenstein, also in Europe, in an old baroque villa.

Several members of the Habsburg family are watching the live broadcast with fire-breathing eyes, and they gritted their teeth bitterly, but very helpless.

If Ye Tian were here, he would definitely recognize them. Two of them were members of the Habsburg family who went to Paris to negotiate with him, and they were ransacked by himself.

Next, Ye Tian introduced the ownership of other antique artworks in Napoleon's treasure.

Such as Rubens, such as Dürer, such as Titian, such as Sato, such as Tintoretto, and the masterpieces of top art masters such as Rembrandt

Of course, there are sculptures by top sculptors such as Donatello and Cellini, and ancient Greek Polycritus.

Some of these top antique works of art were bought by top collectors who flocked to them, and some were bought by major French museums, becoming the collections of top collectors and museums.

The biggest buyer was Bernard, the richest man in France, followed by the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, followed by other top collectors and museums.

Without exception, each of these top antique works of art that were successfully sold has been sold at an astonishing price, bringing huge wealth to Ye Tian and the Brave Fearless Exploration Company.

The remaining top antique artworks that are not traded are divided into two parts.

Exactly half and half of those included in the list of restricted-exit artworks and those not included in the list of restricted-exit artworks

Those included in the list of restricted-departure artworks are divided into two parts.

A small portion was entrusted to major auction houses in Paris, such as Sotheby's auction house and so on.

In the coming period, these top antique works of art will appear on the auction market in Paris. Shaking the Paris art market time and time again

Most of the rest were borrowed for exhibition by the Louvre and the Orsay Museum, and are currently stored in the vaults of these two top French museums.

After a while, these top antique artworks have completely adapted to the external environment. The Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay will successively hold special exhibitions on Napoleon’s treasures and display these top antique artworks in public.

Of course, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay cannot be borrowed in vain. They have to pay a lot of rental fees to the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, and part of the entrance fees for the special exhibitions

As for the safety of these top antique works of art, Ye Tian is not worried at all, let alone that the Louvre and the Orsay Museum will steal their posts, or come here to deny the account and refuse to return these treasures.

Whether it is entrusted to major auction houses or temporarily lent to the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, each of the top antique artworks has been insured and is burdened with huge art insurance.

If there is a problem with any of these top antique artworks, several top art insurance companies will come forward to pay for it. Naturally, Ye Tian need not worry.

What should really worry about is the top auction houses, the Louvre and the Orsay Museum

As for the half of the top antique artworks that were not included in the restricted departure list, they were all shipped back to New York by Ye Tian~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to be processed in the New York art market. The time period can be freely controlled.

At this time, those top antique artworks are under the protection of Matisse and they are being inspected by the customs at JFK Airport.

This is just a procedure. How could the US government reject this batch of top antique works of art?

In addition to great influence and cultural and artistic value, those top antique artworks can also bring huge taxes, who is willing to refuse

Listening to Ye Tian’s introduction, both the media reporters at the scene and the people on the live broadcast side were completely stunned. They looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded.

"How much money this guy Steven made is probably not billions of dollars or even more, so many people can't even think about it, it's crazy"

After being shocked, everyone secretly thumbed up and admired

The rumors are true. Steven is so thorough and invulnerable. No one should think of taking advantage of him.
