Chapter 1792: Small appreciation meeting
Unsurprisingly, the leaders of the Casamonica family and the Bernano family each brought information about a treasure to fulfill their previous promises.
And this is exactly the reconciliation conditions proposed by Ye Tian during the negotiations a few days ago, and it is also the price paid by the two mafia families for their stupid behavior.
Ye Tian was basically satisfied with the treasure information they provided.
Of course, there are some premises here.
These two treasures must be real, located in the open waters, without any legal disputes, and have the possibility of exploration and salvage.
More importantly, the value of the treasure must meet Ye Tian's requirements, and each treasure is worth at least US$200 million.
Only when the above conditions are met, Ye Tian and the two mafia families can truly shake hands and make peace. In the future, the well water will not violate the river, and each will go its own way!
If these conditions cannot be met, let's say otherwise, and the war may continue.
The next thing is that Ye Tian took the time to take someone or send someone to explore and verify the two treasures, to see what he can get, is it a huge surprise, or a happy one!
As for where the information about the two treasures came from, whether they were bought by the two mafia families, found around, or snatched it from others, Ye Tian didn't care at all.
He only knew that the process of obtaining information about these two treasures was legal and was the compensation promised by the two mafia families. The lawyers of both parties and the Bishop of Kent of the Vatican witnessed the transaction together.
After the two treasures were handed over to Ye Tian, the leaders of the two mafia families took their men and left the Vatican directly.
When they left, not to mention how depressed these guys were, but they were also very helpless.
The situation is better than people, what can they do!
Next, Ye Tian and the others returned to their residence.
When the time came to about 12 noon, many top collectors, super rich, and famous antique art appraisal experts invited by Ye Tian rushed to the Vatican one after another.
Giovanni and a deputy minister of the Italian Ministry of Culture, as well as a few guys from the Committee for the Protection of Historical Heritage, as well as several top antique art appraisal experts, also arrived.
Without exception, everyone who was invited was full of expectations, looking forward to seeing the top antique artworks swept by Ye Tian, and looking forward to seeing Caravaggio's masterpiece!
At 1:30 noon, the Vatican Museums are closed as usual.
After all the audience left, Ye Tian and the others immediately entered the museum with a dozen top antique works of art. With the assistance of the museum staff, they quickly started the exhibition arrangement.
This time he borrowed it from the lobby on the first floor of the Vatican Museum, and the door is there, no matter the installation or security, there is no difficulty, and it will be done soon.
Just after two in the afternoon, this small-scale appreciation meeting officially kicked off.
After everyone arrived and entered this temporary exhibition hall, Ye Tian walked to the front of the exhibition hall and said with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, I am Steven. I am very happy to meet you here, and thank you very much for being invited to participate in this small-scale antique art appreciation meeting.
I basically know everyone who came here today. You all know me and the theme of today's small appreciation meeting. If this is the case, then I will go straight to the theme.
In the past two or three days, I visited several famous antique flea markets and antique streets in Rome, as well as famous antique shops and galleries all over the city. It was a small gain! "
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help rolling their eyes, and everyone secretly complained to themselves.
Little gain? It's an understatement, you greedy bastard, you are almost looting Rome, and I am embarrassed to say that there is little gain!
Standing in the middle of the crowd, sisters and brothers Alexandra and Alberto were even more angry with smoke coming out of their noses, wishing to rush forward and beat Ye Tian to give them a good breath!
The reaction of everyone at the scene was seen by Ye Tian, but he ignored it and continued to speak with a smile on his face.
"In the antique thrift market in the city of Rome, as well as in many antique shops and galleries, I found some valuable antique artworks that were ignored by some colleagues.
Among them, there is no shortage of top-notch antique art works of great value. When encountering such an opportunity, as a professional treasure hunter, I certainly will not miss it, so I put these treasures in my bag.
After the news came out, some friends called me, wanting to appreciate the top antique artworks I just bought, and even a few friends expressed their willingness to buy.
It is precisely because of this that today’s appreciation will be held. I have selected 16 of the most outstanding and valuable treasures from the many antique artworks that I have purchased for everyone to appreciate.
I can tell you clearly that each of the antique artworks I have selected is top-notch and valuable, and some of them have very special meanings.”
Not surprisingly, the scene boiled directly.
Everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's words, and looked at him dumbfounded one by one, eyes full of incredible, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
"Oh my God! Sixteen valuable antique works of art! What we heard before, seems to be only a small part, which is crazy!"
"Wow! When are the top antique artworks so worthless? They are everywhere! In such a short time, Steven can find and win 16 pieces. I can't believe it!"
While exclaiming, everyone looked at the antique works of art placed behind Ye Tian, covered with white cloth, and strictly guarded by Cole and others. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
However, they can't see anything now, just a dozen pieces of exactly the same white cloth in front of them.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and continued:
"Next, I will introduce these sixteen top antique artworks one by one, including the style, creator, creation year, my appraisal conclusion, and the valuation I gave and so on.
Of course, this is just my family's words. If you have different opinions ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ After I have introduced all the antique artworks and you have reached your own appraisal conclusion, we can discuss it publicly.
The first thing I want to introduce to you is an outstanding painting created by the famous Italian painter Modigliani at his peak. This is the first time I have discovered it, and everyone can enjoy it."
Having said that, Ye Tian nodded to Cole and the others, indicating that the white cloth covering the painting could be uncovered for public display.
The next moment, Cole gently uncovered the white cloth covering the painting, and then, together with Taylor, carefully placed the painting on the solid wood easel on Ye Tian's left hand.
With their actions, everyone on the scene was attracted by the beautiful painting, and all moved with it.
At the same time, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again, clearly in the ears of everyone on the scene.
"Look at this painting, everyone. The painter's use of lines is very skillful, and it has its own rhythm, which gives people a beautiful and refined feeling. This is one of Modigliani's artistic characteristics,..."
