Chapter 1708: 8 Fang Yundong
As soon as the two medium-sized helicopters flew over the Canal Antique Market, Ye Tian's cell phone rang. It was a call from Thomas, the curator of the Metropolitan Museum.
As soon as the phone was connected, the old friend's voice came over, sounding extremely excited.
"Good afternoon, Steven, congratulations, I discovered Leonardo's masterpiece, "Lisa Gladini" in Milan. This discovery is too important and shocking!
You guy is so lucky, no matter where you go, you will find something, and it is a heavyweight discovery! God seems to stand with you forever! "
"Hello, Thomas, I was really lucky on this trip to Milan, and I found a lot of valuable antique works of art, especially Da Vinci's "Lisa Gladini".
This is also considered to fulfill one of my long-cherished wishes. Counting the previous works of Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", the works of the three masters of Renaissance art, buddies are all together! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone naturally smug.
"It's you guys. If you are someone else, I am afraid that you will never encounter a work of the three masters of Renaissance art in your life. It is a fluke to have such an opportunity!
Can you sell this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci to our Metropolitan Museum? We need such a treasure of the town hall, with it, we can greatly shorten the distance from the Louvre.
As for the price of Da Vinci’s "Lisa Gladini", you can open it at will, even if it is the ticket revenue of the Metropolitan Museum in the next few years, we will not hesitate."
"It's too early to say this, Thomas, it's probably harder than going to the sky to bring this priceless treasure out of Italy. Italians will do everything they can to keep this oil painting if they are not idiots!"
"You are right. Whether an individual or a country, who would give up such a masterpiece whose value is comparable to "Mona Lisa"?"
Thomas responded with endless regret in his tone.
After a few more small talks, Ye Tian hung up the phone and ended the call.
Following Thomas, Julian, the curator of MOMA, called in, followed by the curator of the National Gallery of Art and some of the most famous top collectors in the United States.
In addition, Martinez, the curator of the Louvre, Bernard, the richest man in France, the curator of the British Museum, etc., these heavyweights in the field of European art collection have also called in one after another.
Without exception, these guys all have the same purpose, they all want to buy the "Lisa Gladini" by Leonardo da Vinci, and they all waved blank checks and performed very generously!
Just like dealing with Thomas in the Metropolitan Museum, Ye Tian blocked these guys one by one without giving anyone a clear answer.
During this period, even Shan Lao of the Forbidden City joined in the excitement and seemed to have to call, also for this "Lisa Gladini".
But the Forbidden City has no intention of buying, just want to talk about the loan exhibition and see if there is such a possibility.
On the phone, Ye Tian briefly introduced the current situation. He clearly told Shan Lao that it is almost impossible to borrow, and it will be difficult for this masterpiece of Da Vinci to leave Italy.
Hearing his explanation, Shan Lao dispelled the idea of loaning.
While Ye Tian and the others flew over the canal, Cole led the rest of the people on the ground, and they also passed the crowd of onlookers smoothly, boarded the convoy waiting outside the crowd, and drove straight to the Four Seasons Hotel.
Behind their convoy, there were more than a dozen Milan police cars and vehicles of the military police.
Afterwards, there are a large number of news media's interview vehicles, and many good onlookers' vehicles, and finally there are countless small and agile scooters.
All these vehicles, large and small, come together to form a huge convoy. The scene is extremely spectacular!
When this convoy drove across the streets of Milan like a huge torrent, it immediately shook the whole of Milan and stunned everyone on the street!
Moreover, the fleet is growing rapidly, with vehicles and scooters constantly joining it along the way. The closer the fleet is to the Four Seasons Hotel, the scene becomes more spectacular!
It didn't take long for the two medium-sized helicopters to fly over the Four Seasons Hotel, then began to slowly descend and land on the apron on the roof of the hotel.
The next thing went very smoothly.
Half an hour later, Ye Tian and Betty were in the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, and Anderson and Cole were the same, both returned to the hotel.
The four Milan lawyers who followed, as well as a group of the American Embassy, were arranged in several other luxurious suites on the same floor of the hotel.
As for Leonardo da Vinci's "Lisa Gladini", it was always within Ye Tian's field of vision and never left.
The rest of the antique artworks swept from the Milan Canal Antique Market were transported into several rooms for storage, and processed later.
After returning to the room to wash and take a break, Ye Tian and the others only started to have lunch, of course in the room upstairs.
While they were enjoying lunch and savoring joy, the whole of Milan, and even the whole of Italy, had been thoroughly boiled and became very lively.
Just as Ye Tian expected, the Milanese who were completely shocked by "Lisa Gladini", after waking up, like a tide, immediately set off from all over Milan and swarmed towards the Four Seasons Hotel!
Among them, there are both petitioners and protest demonstrations, and of course, there are also many people who come to see the excitement and many people who are unpredictable!
The ultimate goal of those wishers and protesters is the same, that is to let Ye Tian keep "Lisa Gladini" in Italy and Milan!
As for the guys who are deliberately unpredictable, they want to come here to see if there is any cheaper!
Fortunately, Ye Tian reminded Giovanni and the Milan police in advance that the response was very fast. They mobilized a large number of police forces and guarded the Four Seasons Hotel very tightly, leaving almost no loopholes.
When the turbulent crowd arrived around the Four Seasons Hotel, they were immediately blocked by a blockade of Milan police, making it impossible to approach the hotel.
They can only stay a little far away from the hotel, stay outside the security zone, shout loudly, and wave flags and slogans desperately to express their demands.
Those Italian super-rich men named by Ye Tian, due to public pressure, also issued statements one after another, stating that their family or company intends to acquire "Lisa Gladini" and keep it in Italy!
Ye Tian received these news when they were sitting in the living room resting after lunch.
"Steven, just now, Maria and Berlusconi, who were named by you, issued public statements. They said they would contact you as soon as possible to discuss the acquisition of "Lisa Gladini."
Even the Italian Prime Minister's Office issued a public statement saying that this is one of the greatest discoveries in art history, and congratulated you, and hoped that this oil painting can stay in Italy! "
Anderson smiled and said, reported the latest situation of the outside world~www.wuxiaspot.com~That would be great, I am ready, and I will wait for these Italian fat sheep to be delivered to the door, and then slaughter them and earn a lot of money. of! "
Ye Tian said jokingly, as if sharpening his knife to a pig and a sheep.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the living room, and everyone laughed.
After a few small talks, Ye Tian came to the topic.
"Cole, tell the guys, step up your guard. From now on, everyone must stand up to 120,000 points, take precautions, and protect everyone here and every antique artwork.
Anderson, you bring the Milan lawyers and the U.S. Embassy team over, and there are some things you want them to participate in, and then I started to study "Lisa Gladini"
"Ok, Steven"
Cole and Anderson replied in unison, and immediately moved on.
