Chapter 1612: Unexpected visitors
The return journey of many family members including grandparents, fathers and mothers went smoothly without any trouble. The same goes for those top Chinese antique artworks.
Early the next morning, Ye Tian received a call from his father.
When I called, my grandparents and parents had already returned to their homes in Lishi Hutong, Dongcheng, and the rest of the family had also returned to their homes.
Next, after adjusting the jet lag at home and improving the spirit, everyone's life will soon be back on track, either to work or to school.
More than an hour later, my aunt's phone came in.
They arrived at the Capital International Airport with the batch of top antique artworks, and then returned to the Forbidden City under the **** of a large number of special police, and received a grand welcome at the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City!
The relevant leaders of the Ministry of Culture, the leaders of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, and the leaders of the Palace Museum and cultural experts all attended this grand welcome ceremony to welcome the return of the treasures of the country!
At the welcoming ceremony, Auntie and Qiu Lao worked together to publicly display one of the most important cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace, the famous "Pictures of the Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace".
As the scroll of "Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace" slowly opened, the first scene of the Old Summer Palace, ‘upright and bright’, finally appeared in front of the people again after a lapse of more than 150 years, and it was in the Forbidden City!
In the next instant, the welcome scene at the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City was completely boiling, cheers and admiration resounded through the sky, and the whole Beijing city could hear it!
Some of the cultural experts at the welcome scene at the Meridian Gate, even the excited old tears, choked up!
Ye Tian had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and he was not surprised at all!
"The Song of the Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace" is a treasure of the country that countless Chinese people have been thinking about for a long time but have no chance to see the authenticity. It is also a thorn in the hearts of the Chinese people, representing a history of humiliation!
The "Pictures of the Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace" was successfully returned to China and displayed in public. Could it not cause a sensation?
This public exhibition was arranged by Ye Tian himself. The purpose is to build momentum and rapidly expand the influence of these national treasures of antique artworks and attract more attention.
Besides, there is also a little bit of his thoughts here.
He wants to tell everyone in the country through relevant reports in many news media that these treasures of the country belong to him, and no one else wants to covet them!
After finishing the call with the aunt, Ye Tian and Betty cleaned up, and then drove to the company in Rockefeller Center.
It's the New York autumn auction season, which is one of the most important auction seasons of the year. There are still many things to deal with in the company, which cannot be separated for the time being!
Therefore, Ye Tian discussed with Betty and postponed their honeymoon trip for a few days.
After arranging things related to the New York autumn auction, and other things, they will leave New York to enjoy a romantic honeymoon trip!
The first day they returned to the company, Ye Tian and Betty quickly entered the working state.
Within this day, Ye Tian stayed in the company's office, met non-stop with representatives of major auction houses in New York, and signed a series of consignment auction agreements with them.
Through these commissioned auction agreements, he entrusted many top antique artworks to the major auction houses in New York, let them put these treasures on the art auction market, and help him sweep his wealth wildly!
includes the golden mask of the ancient Egyptian cat **** Best, this ancient Egyptian cultural relic from thousands of years ago, once it appears on the antique art auction market, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.
As for other antique works of art that are going to be auctioned in the near future, but of relatively mediocre value, Jason and several other company employees are responsible.
In the next few days, they will negotiate with major auction houses in New York and sign consignment auction agreements one after another!
Although the individual value of these antique works of art is not very high, but the quantity is very large, and the total sum is also very amazing!
Ye Tian set a reserve price for these antique works of art. When Jason and the auction house negotiated, they all negotiated and signed a commission auction agreement based on the reserve price set by him!
In this way, you don’t have to worry about what tricks the auction house will play, you or your company, and you don’t have to worry about some guys working together at the auction to lower the transaction price!
If it's a big deal, I'm going to stream it! The company reclaims the relevant antique artworks and waits for a chance to be put on the market again in the future, without any loss!
After signing the relevant entrusted auction agreement, Ye Tian and David took the personnel of the major auction houses and under the strict protection of numerous armed security personnel to collect the goods in the major vaults all over Manhattan!
After putting forward the top antique artworks and verifying the body, the two parties will handover on the spot.
Ye Tian personally handed over the top antique artworks to the staff of the auction house, and went through the handover procedures on the spot, and then they escorted them back to their respective auction houses.
When Ye Tian finished working on these things and returned home, it was already over ten in the evening, and the day was about to pass.
The next day, there are still many things to deal with, and Ye Tian still can't take it easy.
Soon after arriving at the company in the morning, David also rushed to the company with his assistant lawyer.
Entering the office and chatting casually, David got to the point.
"Steven, when are we going to the Metropolitan Museum? Meet with the Bishop of Kent and hand them over to them Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ"?
To be honest, if it was me, I wouldn’t be willing to give those two top art works to the Vatican. They were Raphael and Michelangelo. I still have to feel bad! "
said, a painful expression flashed across David's face.
Although Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" do not belong to him at all, he still feels distressed and desperate!
"Don't worry, David, I just contacted Kent. He is accompanying the Pope on a visit to the Philadelphia Masonic Cathedral and meeting with the enthusiastic believers in Philadelphia.
After the meeting, he will bring related personnel to Manhattan. When they arrive here, it will be 12 o'clock. By then, it will not be too late for us to go to the Metropolitan Museum.
I gave Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" to the Vatican. How could I be willing! That is the top art, how many pieces are there in the world?
But compared to the good blessings Betty received, those two top artworks are not worth mentioning, and I believe that my trip to Italy at a later date will definitely bring me great gains!
Maybe I can once again discover the works of Raphael and Michelangelo, or even Leonardo’s in a certain city in Italy, or in an ancient church or an ancient building! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression was very relaxed, and he didn't care about the two top artworks that he was about to lose.
When 's words fell, David immediately nodded in excitement and said:
"I believe that, everyone knows that God will always stand with you, this lucky guy, and will always look after you, without seeing anyone else in your eyes!
If you can find paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo on this trip to Italy, it would be great. If you can find paintings by Leonardo, it would be even more perfect!
I look forward to that day very much. I can imagine that when you find the outstanding works of the three masters of Renaissance art again, what a huge sensation it will cause! "
"I also look forward to it very much. If I can find a Leonardo da Vinci's work, it will be perfect. In this way, I will gather the paintings of the three masters of Renaissance art, which is also a feat!
Because of this, the first stop of this trip to Italy will be arranged in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, then the fashion capital Milan, and then Rome"
Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, his eyes flashed with a hint of movement, and he was a little bit yearning.
After a few more small chats, Ye Tian changed the subject.
"David, not only will I have to hand over the two outstanding paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo with the Vatican today, but there are other things to deal with, so I asked you to come early in the morning.
There will be a few guests coming to visit the company to discuss some things with me. You need to be present as my personal lawyer to witness and record the content of the talks between the two parties! "
"No problem, this is our responsibility, who is the other party? What is the content of the meeting? Let me talk about it first, so I am mentally prepared!"
David nodded slightly and asked a little curiously.
"Okay, let me tell you something"
Ye Tian nodded and replied ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is ready to explain.
At this moment, there was a sudden ‘bang Bang Bang’ knock on the door, interrupting Ye Tian’s words.
Then, Jason opened the door and walked into the office.
"Steven, the representative of the Honduras Consulate General in New York is here, the deputy consul and cultural counsellor, a legal adviser, and two consulate general security personnel are here.
When they entered the company, Matisse stopped the two security personnel and asked them to wait in the lounge outside the company office area, with a dude staring at them.
The other deputy consuls, cultural counsellors and others, Matisse and the others also conducted a security check. They did not find the other party carrying weapons. I have taken them to the conference room.
Hearing this briefing, Ye Tian immediately got up from the sofa, smiled and said to David and Jason:
"Let's go, let's meet these diplomats from Honduras and see what purpose they are looking for me, it is so urgent!"
"The diplomats of the Honduras Consulate in New York? Could it be that they came for the golden scepter head of the six-pointed star and the legendary city of gold?"
David said excitedly, his eyes shining straight.
"Bingo! You guessed it, David, these Hondurans must have come for the Golden City, otherwise what can they do if they ask me"
As he said, Ye Tian stepped out of the office.
