Chapter 1923: Show ambition
Ye Tianchong, the curator of the British Museum, nodded gently, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Fisher, you don't have to be so nervous or angry. In my opinion, this art deal is good for both of you and me, and it can be a win-win situation.
I believe you will not deny that if the British Museum collects these valuable antiques and displays them in the museum, it will definitely attract a surging crowd of visitors.
Especially the golden crown of King Edward I. It has a very special significance to the British royal family and to the entire United Kingdom. It will become another treasure of the British Museum.
The Chinese antique artworks I just mentioned have very few opportunities to be displayed in the British Museum. For example, "The Picture of Female History", which is only on display twice a year.
More importantly, there are not many people who really appreciate those Chinese antique works of art. Instead of putting those antique works on the shelf, it is better to exchange them.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the two curators of the British Museum eased somewhat, and they both looked at the Queen and the Prime Minister in unison.
The two of them know very well that whether this art transaction can be sold depends to a large extent on the Queen and the Prime Minister of England, not on the management of the British Museum.
As for the other British guys on the live and live broadcast, they all showed a touch of emotion.
For many of them, the ancient Chinese books written in Chinese characters and the ancient Chinese artworks that look like clouds and mountains are obviously not as important as the golden crown of King Edward I and the complete set of knight equipment.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued smiling and said:
"I can choose to exchange with the British Museum, or with other museums, or top collectors and foundations, such as the famous Grand Vader Foundation.
The pair of Yuan blue and white standard wares from the Da Wei De Foundation, the pair of Yuan blue and white large vases called Da Wei De Vase, and the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln sky celadon glaze bowl, I am also very interested! "
Hearing what he said, the chairman of the Grand Vader Foundation, who was also on the scene of the temple in the Temple Church, suddenly rolled his eyes and was not angry.
He was about to refute, but the British Prime Minister got ahead of him, and suddenly interjected:
"Steven, can you please tell me, why do you only choose Chinese antique art instead of Western antique art? Is the private museum you mentioned in Beijing? Why not in New York?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately looked at the British guy, and a hint of sarcasm flashed deep in his eyes.
Isn't he a good person, he actually played a trick to kill people with a knife, and he was going to put eye drops on his buddies, and borrow an American knife to deal with the buddies. It was really shameful!
"Mr. Prime Minister, the reason why I choose Chinese antique art is very simple, because my private museum will be opened in Beijing, and only Chinese people know how to appreciate the things of their own nation.
If you choose Western antique art for exchange, wouldn’t it be superfluous? I just leave these medieval antique relics closely related to the British royal family in front of me. Why exchange?
In fact, I already have a lot of valuable western antique art in my hand. I will definitely find more western antique art in the future. It doesn't matter to me that there are fewer pieces in front of me.
My private museum will be a comprehensive museum, taking into account both Chinese and Western culture and art, from ancient antiques to modern science and art, everything will be included.
The reason why it is in Beijing instead of New York is very simple. China is a larger and more potential market. In business, from the perspective of interest, I certainly choose Beijing, China.
With the rapid development of China’s economy in recent years, people’s living standards have been improving rapidly. It is logical that people’s pursuit of spirituality and culture is also increasing. These are the reasons why I choose China.”
Ye Tian said with a smile, and took the opportunity to introduce to the world his private museum that is still on the blueprint.
What a perfect publicity opportunity, how can it be easily missed, otherwise it would be a shame.
There is another intention in what he said, which is to get a vaccination in advance, so that no one will make a fuss about this private museum.
You know, there are guys in the U.S. who are fed up and have nothing to do, and who always hate China.
Hearing his words, people couldn't help showing a hint of shock on their faces.
Ye Tian’s powerful strength, self-confidence, and ambition shocked everyone.
While talking, those antique art appraisal experts from the British Museum and the British royal family have already appraised the antique relics on the workbench.
The appraisal conclusion they gave was no different from that given by Ye Tian, and it was not even as comprehensive as the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian.
After hearing the introductions of these experts and scholars, the Queen of England looked at Ye Tian again and said with a smile:
"Mr. Steven, we still need time to discuss whether or not to trade art with you. When the result of the negotiation is reached, William will notify you. He is solely responsible for this matter.
Regardless of the final result, here, on behalf of the British royal family, I would like to express my gratitude to you again and thank you for this important discovery. There is no doubt that you are the best professional treasure hunter! "
said, the Queen of England shook hands with Ye Tian again.
"Thank you for your compliment, my Majesty the Queen, you are an elegant and noble lady. It is a great honor to meet you here. I look forward to hearing good news and hope that this transaction with art can be successfully concluded"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and bowed slightly to the Queen of England again.
After another two chats, the Queen of England walked back to her seat and sat down, chatting in a low voice with the Pope, while waiting to see what was in the other six boxes.
Waiting for the Queen of England to leave, Ye Tian immediately said to Prince William and other British guys who surrounded the workbench:
"His Royal Highness and Gentlemen, please give in. We need to put away these antique relics, make enough space, and there are six boxes to open in public.
I can tell you in advance that the things in the six boxes are most likely to be Christian holy objects that have disappeared for a long time, and the shock they will bring will be even greater."
Hearing his words, Prince William and the other British guys could only leave the workbench and withdrew back a few meters together. Everyone looked reluctant and unwilling.
However, their emotions disappeared in an instant, and they were replaced by eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
The rest of the people on the scene of the temple are the same, all staring curiously at the remaining six red sandalwood boxes, everyone's eyes are full of expectation, and their eyes are extremely hot.
Before all the live broadcasts, people were staring at the six boxes with excitement, and they were secretly guessing what was in the six boxes, whether it was the Christian holy artifacts mentioned by the guy Steven.
Some devout Christian believers have even begun to draw a cross on their chests and pray in a low voice, praying for a miracle to appear before their eyes.
As soon as Prince William and the others retreated, Ye Tian immediately pointed to the golden crown of the gorse dynasty on the workbench and the equipment of the Crusader Knights of Edward I and the Earl of Lancaster and said:
"Jason, you take the guys to put away these valuable medieval antique relics ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ received them in their original boxes, and then put them in a sealed bag.
In this process, everyone must be careful and never damage these antique relics. Any carelessness may cause huge losses."
"Okay, Steven, don't worry, leave it to us, there won't be any problems"
Jason nodded and responded, and immediately led several company employees into action.
It didn't take long for the antique artworks placed on the temporary workbench to be collected by Jason and the others, and repacked in the three black walnut boxes.
When Ye Tian checked and confirmed that there were no problems, and then reached out to cover the box with the gold crown of King Edward I, all the British guys sighed together in front of the live broadcast.
These voices contain a variety of emotions, including joy, regret, and unwillingness.
Ye Tian didn't hear these sighs.
He directly raised his head to look at the pope sitting above, smiling and saying loudly:
"Your Majesty, it's your time for the Vatican. There are six red sandalwood boxes waiting for you to open. I believe that every box will bring you a huge surprise."
said, he pointed out the six red sandalwood boxes placed on the workbench.
At this time, no matter the site of the Temple Church or the countless live broadcasts, everyone is watching and betting on the six red sandalwood boxes.
