Chapter 1706: A public appeal to the super rich
Rome, Palazzo Chigi, Office of the Prime Minister of Italy.
At this time, the Italian Prime Minister and the Minister of Culture, as well as several other people, who had just finished their lunch, were gathering to watch the webcast, watching what was happening at the Milan Canal Antique Market.
When they saw Ye Tian put down "Lisa Gladini" and prepared to reseal the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, these guys who controlled the power of the Italian state could no longer sit still.
"Tiano, you immediately organize the country's top antique art appraisal experts and rush to Milan to appraise this "Lisa Gladini".
If this oil painting is indeed Leonardo da Vinci's authentic work, we must leave this priceless treasure in Italy, and we must not let the **** Steven bring back to the United States! "
The Italian Prime Minister said categorically and directly issued an order to the Minister of Culture beside him.
"Okay, I will immediately organize experts and scholars to go to Milan to appraise this oil painting. Although the **** Steven is very hateful, his vision is extremely sharp and he has never seen it!
Since he gave a very clear identification conclusion, confirming that this is the authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci, and the artistry is no less than the "Mona Lisa" of the Louvre, it is basically impossible to make a mistake.
However, this **** Steven is notoriously greedy and extremely cunning, and we would have to pay a very high price to get this masterpiece from him."
The Minister of Culture Tiano nodded in excitement, but was full of worries.
As soon as the voice fell, the office door was suddenly pushed open. A staff member from the Prime Minister's office came in and said:
"Mr. Prime Minister, the U.S. Ambassador called and said that he wanted to talk to you about "Lisa Gladini"."
Upon hearing this, the Italian Prime Minister immediately cursed with gritted teeth:
"These **** American bastards, they don't have any good people, they are all shameless robbers, especially Steven's greedy bastard."
Look back to the Milan Canal Antique Market.
It is still very lively here, everyone is staring at Ye Tian's movements, staring at the "Lisa Gladini" by Da Vinci.
"Steven, is this necessary? I have something to talk to you about."
Giovanni said loudly, a bit of anger in his voice, but more helpless.
This buddy was blocked by Cole and the others a few meters away. He couldn't get in. He could only shout to Ye Tian from the air, this is Italy, and he was stopped by others on his own territory. Could he not feel depressed and angry!
Ye Tian turned to look at the old friend, then smiled and said:
"Cole, let him come over, everyone is old friends, and he is still an Italian military policeman, there is no threat!"
"Okay, Steven"
Cole nodded in response, then stepped aside.
Within a few steps, Giovanni had come close.
Before he could stand firm, the man couldn't wait to whisper:
"Steven, this "Lisa Gladini" is really important. It is a national treasure of Italy. It belongs to Italy, belongs to all the Italian people, and must stay in this country!
I hope you can agree to my request, and I can tell you very clearly that from now on, this "Lisa Gladini" has been included in the list of restricted artworks.
No one wants to leave Italy with this "Lisa Gladini", including you, it is absolutely impossible for our Italian military police to agree to it, this is our duty! "
Ye Tian looked at this anxious old friend with a pale face, then smiled and whispered:
"Don't worry about getting angry, Giovanni, it should be a time to be happy, a time to cheer and celebrate. The emergence of this oil painting is definitely one of the greatest discoveries in art history.
I don't deny that this painting is indeed a national treasure of Italy. It is of great value, and its importance is not even less than that of "Mona Lisa", but it belongs to me now and everyone in the world knows it.
To put it bluntly, this is my private property. As for how to dispose of this oil painting, it is my right and freedom. No one has the right to interfere, including your Italian cultural relics Gendarmerie!
Besides, whether you can keep this oil painting in Italy, your cultural relics gendarmerie do not have much say. Given the importance of this oil painting, it is likely to involve a contest at the national level.
The diplomats of the American embassy next to you, you also know them just now. Needless to say, the reason why I invited them over is because of the importance of this painting, and maybe use them."
Hearing this, Giovanni immediately turned his head and looked at the guys from the US Embassy and the four excited Milan lawyers, his eyes full of dread.
Steven, this **** bastard, is so thorough and impeccable, what a monster!
After a while, Giovanni gritted his molars and whispered:
"Steven, if our Italian Antiquities Gendarmerie forcibly seizes this "Lisa Gladini" and keep it in Italy? You know, it's not hard to find excuses."
"Then we have to shoot two pieces together. I don't mind to burn this masterpiece by Da Vinci. Everyone in the world knows that this oil painting belongs to me. I have the right and freedom to dispose of it.
Like you, my excuses for destroying this oil painting are also very easy to find. For example, I accidentally caught fire, burned this masterpiece to ashes, etc. Everyone knows that water and fire are ruthless!
To me, destroying this oil painting is just a momentary effort. I believe no one can stop it. Destroying it will have no effect on me. It's just a bad name, buddies don't care!
Discovering this "Lisa Gladini" was originally an unexpected surprise. I can assume that this surprise has never appeared before, but you must bear all the consequences and responsibilities that follow."
When saying these words, Ye Tian's face was always filled with a charming smile, but his tone was extremely cold and full of murderous aura.
Although he did not explain the consequences and responsibilities that Giovanni and the Italian Antiquities Military Police will bear, the meaning in the words couldn't be more obvious, and fools can hear it!
There is no doubt that it will be an extremely fierce, endless **** revenge, and everyone involved in this matter will go to hell, whether he is a cultural relic military police or someone else!
"Fak! He is a total lunatic, a devil from the depths of hell!"
Giovanni gritted his teeth and cursed secretly, a chill in his heart, and even shivered uncontrollably.
After calming down a little, he was about to say something.
At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly, and it was the Italian Minister of Culture.
Giovanni took out the phone and looked at it, then immediately took the phone and walked aside to report the latest situation to his immediate boss.
Ye Tian looked at the buddy disdainfully, and then continued his work, nailing the original color linen covering "Lisa Gladini".
In a blink of an eye, he nailed the original linen cloth, and then carried the black walnut drawing board with "Lisa Gladini" in his hand.
At the same time, many media reporters at the scene finally seized the opportunity and scrambled to start asking questions loudly.
"Steven, I'm a reporter for The Washington Post in Milan. What do you plan to do with this "Lisa Gladini"? Do you collect it yourself or send it to auction?
There is a more important question. Will you keep this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci in Italy? Or bring it back to New York, as an American reporter, I hope it is the latter! "
"Hello, Steven, I'm a reporter from La Repubblica Italia. There is no doubt that this "Lisa Gladini" is an invaluable treasure and a national treasure of Italy.
Although this Da Vinci oil painting belongs to you now, I still hope and beg you to keep this priceless treasure in Italy. We Italians will be very grateful.
One more thing, what do we Italians need to do to keep this priceless treasure? What is your valuation for this "Lisa Gladini"? We would love to hear"
The Italian reporter’s question immediately drew an enthusiastic response from all Italians on the scene. In an instant, drum noises rang one after another!
"Yes, this "Lisa Gladini" is a national treasure of Italy. You must stay in Italy, Steven, you can't bring it back to the United States."
"Steven, give an accurate offer. Even if all Italians crowdfund, we still have to leave this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci. This is the spiritual wealth we Italians share!"
Listening to these drum noises and watching the lively and unusual scene, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing.
When the voice on the scene fell slightly, he said loudly:
"How to deal with this "Lisa Gladini", whether to stay in Italy or bring it back to the United States, I haven't decided yet. After I study this painting carefully, I will make a decision!
This time will not be very long. It will only take a few days. You can wait patiently for a few days. I will announce my decision and some research results about this oil painting.
But I can explain in advance that I will not collect this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci. It is undoubtedly making trouble for myself. Such a precious oil painting will surely attract countless coveted eyes!
I don't want my home to be frequented by countless art thieves. As everyone knows, I am a professional treasure hunter. This is my product. I plan to sell this oil painting publicly.
As for the valuation of this painting, I cannot give it for the time being, just like I cannot value the "Mona Lisa", no matter what sky-high price this painting sells, it is possible!
You Italians want to keep this painting. I understand very well that crowdfunding to sell the painting is also a very good idea, but I'm not sure, all Italians are willing.
Here, I want to make a public appeal to some of the super-rich in Italy, Mary, Berlusconi, and some other super-rich, it's up to you to take action.
I’m sure ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to buy this masterpiece by Da Vinci is definitely more fulfilling and meaningful than the countless fragrant Ferrero chocolates you made, and the Champions League win by AC Milan."
Before the words came to an end, thunderous applause broke out.
"Papa Papa"
Everyone on the live and live broadcasts applauded, for Ye Tian's remarks, for Da Vinci's "Lisa Gladini", and for the famous Italian super-rich.
Especially Mary and Berlusconi, who were named by Ye Tian, were immediately taken up by the people, and there was a moral kidnapping. I'm afraid it won't work if they don't express their opinions!
The applause had not yet fallen, and suddenly, there was another loud engine roar in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, two medium-sized helicopters with smooth lines roared from the sky and appeared above the Milan Canal Antique Market!
The moment the two helicopters appeared, Ye Tian's face immediately burst into a bright smile.
It's time to leave and return in triumph!
