Chapter 1757: Conception of cooperation
In a blink of an eye, more than forty minutes passed.
Ye Tian and the others have come to the northwest corner of the Roman Forum, ready to visit the ruins of the ancient Roman Senate and the assembly venue, which was the political center of ancient Rome.
Some time before, they visited most of the Roman Forum, such as the ruins of Venus and the Roman Temple, the Temple of the Kitchen, and other ruins throughout the Roman Forum.
When visiting these sites and walking among the ancient Roman ruins, each of Ye Tian and the others had a wonderful feeling of walking through the tunnel of time and space, feeling that they were talking to the ancient Roman Empire more than two thousand years ago.
As for Ye Tian, while leading Betty and the others on a tour and introducing them to them, he also thoroughly looked through every ruins and ruins that he passed through, and did not miss any corner.
Following major discoveries in the depths of the Arch of Titus, he successively discovered some unknown secrets.
These secrets are basically buried deep underground. There are crates of gold and silver treasures, valuable top antique artworks, and incomplete sculptures. Although scattered, the total number is quite amazing.
Especially several significant antique artworks and sculptures, once unearthed, they will surely cause a huge sensation.
But what made Ye Tian regret was that these treasures were buried deep underground in the Roman Forum. Even if he had money, he couldn't buy this place, explore treasure hunting here, and take those treasures as his own.
He can only sigh, hope for a miracle in the dark.
Just standing before the ruins of the Senate, before taking a second glance, the old friend Giovanni suddenly appeared with a few of his men and walked over here, everyone's expressions are quite solemn.
Seeing these guys, Ye Tian immediately showed a smile on his face.
Someone gives pillows when you doze off! These old friends came so timely, they are all alive!
Ye Tian naturally knew what Giovanni and the others came from. It was obviously Xingshi's questioning.
When he got closer, Giovanni had spared even the fake politeness and went straight to the subject as soon as he spoke.
"Good afternoon, Steven, now the outside world has spread madness. Three days later, you are going to hold a private auction to auction the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, "Lisa Gladini".
It is said that those invited to participate in this private auction are the super-rich, top collectors, and top art brokers from Italy and European countries. Is this news true? "
Ye Tian did not intend to conceal these old friends, it is impossible to conceal the Italian military police, and there is no need for it.
He smiled and nodded slightly, then gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes, Giovanni, the news you heard is accurate, and I asked it to be released. That private auction will be held in the Vatican in the evening three days later.
There is only one lot at the auction, which is Da Vinci's masterpiece, "Lisa Gladini". By then, all buyers participating in the auction can bid and compete, and the higher price will win! "
Although I knew this was the answer for a long time, Giovanni's face changed when Ye Tian said it personally. He instantly became darker, and his eyes were full of anger.
The same goes for several other Italian cultural relics gendarmes. They gritted their teeth one by one, wishing to rush up and beat Ye Tian to give them a good breath of anger that had been held in their hearts for a long time.
After taking two deep breaths and forcibly suppressing the boiling anger in his chest, Giovanni continued with a gloomy face:
"Steven, I want to emphasize again that Leonardo da Vinci's "Lisa Gladini" is an Italian national treasure. On the day it was born, it was quickly included in the list of restricted artworks.
This masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci must never leave the borders of Italy. Although this oil painting belongs to you, you'd better not know the law and break the law. We can never ignore it! "
"Don't worry, Giovanni, we will never know the law to break the law and take "Lisa Gladini" out of Italy, so I will hold a private auction in the Vatican, not in New York.
I have consulted an Italian lawyer. The Vatican also uses major airports in Rome. Related artworks are stored in the Vatican and auctioned in the Vatican. It is not considered a departure, and it is naturally not illegal.
To reassure you, on the day of the auction, I will invite officials from the Italian Ministry of Culture and your cultural relics gendarmerie to attend, or to supervise and witness the whole auction.
Before the auction starts, I will also publicly state that "Lisa Gladini" is a restricted-exit artwork. No matter who takes this top-level artwork, it cannot be taken out of Italy.
If all goes well, after the auction is over, the hammer is sold and the delivery is successfully completed, "Lisa Gladini" will not belong to me. Then, you can keep an eye on the next owner.
As for whether the next owner is willing to abide by the law and keep this top art artwork in Italy, it has nothing to do with me. I have fulfilled my duty of notification and transferred the ownership.
The best case is that if your Italian government finances this top-level artwork, it is natural for everyone to be happy, so that the super-rich in Italy can do it, and it will achieve the same goal! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, and threw out a set of rhetoric that had already been thought out.
Hearing what he said, Giovanni and the others rolled their eyes irritably, and vomited secretly.
Purchased by our Italian government? Your bastard's hands are so black, this is a stab to kill us, it's greedy to the extreme!
Besides, how can our Italian government have so much budget?
That's an astronomical amount of money. When we are like you, we are super rich, and we can throw out billions at will!
While murmuring secretly, Giovanni and the others couldn't help flashing a light, their expressions were not so ugly!
It is also a feasible way to let the Italian super-rich take the shot and take the "Lisa Gladini", so that at least there is no need to worry about the priceless treasure going out!
After pondering for a while, Giovanni nodded and said:
"Okay, Steven, on the day of the auction, our Italian Ministry of Culture and the Cultural Relics Gendarmerie must be present and supervise on the spot. If there is any violation of the law, we will immediately interrupt the auction."
When the voice fell, Ye Tian immediately said with confidence:
"Don't worry, Giovanni, I have held similar private auctions more than once. I am already familiar with the road and there will be no problems. You are welcome to come to the Vatican to participate in my private auction."
After a few more conversations, Giovanni was about to leave and go back to make arrangements.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly changed the subject and talked about another thing.
"Giovanni, don't leave in a hurry, I have one more thing to discuss with you, which is good for both of us"
"You guy has something to discuss with us, and it's good for us? Why am I so unbelieving! Let's listen, I am very curious about what you are talking about"
Giovanni joked, with a surprised expression on his face.
"As we all know, Rome is an ancient city with ruins everywhere. The ruins of ancient Rome and the Colosseum not far away are the best proof. There are many places like this in Rome.
According to my estimation, there should be many unknown treasures buried in the city of Rome, as well as a large number of top antique artworks, and even very huge treasures that, once discovered, are enough to cause a sensation in the world.
If possible, our Brave Fearless Exploration Company would like to cooperate with the city of Rome to jointly explore the treasure. The location can be ancient Roman ruins or the ancient Roman Colosseum not far away.
Even any historical site in the city of Rome, every corner of the city, can be the target of joint exploration of treasures. I am very confident that I will find many treasures in Rome."
This was Ye Tian's main purpose for leaving Giovanni, and he finally showed his fangs.
"hiss--!"
There was a sound of inhaling air-conditioning.
Giovanni and several of his men, without exception, were shocked by Ye Tian's words, shocked by his huge appetite like the sky, and looked at him dumbfounded.
It took a long time for these guys to recover.
Immediately after ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Giovanni said:
"Steven, you guys are crazy, let's talk, what do you want, and what can we get?"
"Presumably you also know something about it. We and the Costa Rican government jointly explored the treasures of Lima. The joint exploration of the treasures was very successful and the results were very happy.
We can refer to the joint exploration operation. I will bear all the exploration costs. You are responsible for coordinating various relationships. Once you find something, no matter what you find, we will divide it equally.
All the gold and silver treasures and antique works of art found are evaluated by me. I will give the most accurate evaluation. You are the first to choose. The rest of the general things belong to me. This is fair! "
Ye Tianhao said in a leisurely manner, throwing out a preliminary idea of cooperation.
"Oh! This appetite is too terrible, why don't you **** grab it! This is Rome, why should we give half of Rome's treasure to you bastard? How greedy!"
Giovanni and the others frantically complained, almost cursing loudly.
