Chapter 2750: Right of first refusal

In the banquet hall, representatives from various parties and many experts and scholars are gathered around the tables, admiring and appraising the first batch of top oil paintings on display.

Looking at these top-of-the-range artworks that have never appeared before, everyone on the scene is extremely excited. Everyone has a feeling of witnessing history, and their eyes shine straight!

As always, Ye Tian once again assumed the responsibility of understanding and speaking, introducing these invaluable top artworks to everyone on the scene, and giving his own appraisal conclusions.

At the same time, he also showed the two books that he had discovered before to everyone on the scene, to corroborate this amazing discovery and his own appraisal conclusion.

"Gentlemen, at the end of this catalogue of antique art collections of the royal family of Milan, the royal family member named Francis used a paragraph of handwritten Italian to unambiguously record the origin and inheritance of these top artworks.

Without exception, these top art works in front of everyone were once the most important art collection of the royal family of Milan. The reason why Francis hid them was to prevent these priceless treasures from being looted by Napoleon.

However, Francis only hid them, but did not take them out again. According to my estimation, Francis himself, like the Duchy of Milan, was destroyed by Napoleon, and this batch of top artworks has been hidden until now.

Fortunately, we found this batch of top artworks and didn't let them disappear completely, so everyone can see them here, appreciate these oil paintings by top art masters, and appreciate the beauty of these top artworks! .

The origin of each oil painting here is very clear, the inheritance is clear, and there is no doubt. These two books record detailed information such as the date and price of the Milan royal family's purchase of them. There is no doubt that this is the most powerful identification basis! "

While saying this, Ye Tian turned one of the books straight to the end.

At the end of the book, there is a piece of yellowed letter paper, which is impressively written in Italian, and it is all handwritten, which is exactly what Francis left behind.

Listening to what Ye Tian said, looking at the two books and the text left by Francis, everyone at the scene nodded, and there was a little doubt about the authenticity of this batch of top art works!

Undoubtedly, these dozen oil paintings are all top art works of great value.

Because the origin is clear, the inheritance is orderly, and it is related to the royal family of Milan and many important historical events, the value of these top oil paintings will also increase and become more expensive!

Thinking of this, everyone at the scene was so envious that they were almost crazy. Some guys even had eyes flushed with jealousy, wishing they could take Ye Tian and replace them with these priceless top art works for themselves.

As for the many Italians at the scene, everyone felt that their heart was bleeding, and they were also secretly complaining!

Damn it! Francis hid these top artworks in order to escape Napoleon's looting. He also achieved his goal and successfully prevented these top artworks from being looted by Napoleon.

But who would have thought that today, more than two hundred years later, these top art works were looted by the **** Steven, and the result is still doomed!

If you know this result, Francis, who has been dead for more than two hundred years, will probably be cheated with anger!

In a blink of an eye, twenty minutes passed.

Seeing that everyone at the scene had already enjoyed the first batch of oil paintings displayed, Ye Tian asked his company employees to put away these top oil paintings, and then began to show the next batch of oil paintings.

Soon, the time came to ten o'clock in the evening.

All the top artworks found today have been displayed, and then they were put away by Derek and put them into telescopic painting tubes.

Seeing these priceless oil paintings being put away, everyone at the scene looked reluctant, but very helpless, who made these top art works not their own.

In the next moment, the lights of this banquet hall brightened up, lighting up the scene, sweeping away the previous dimness.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian walked to the front of the banquet hall, stretched out his hands with a smile, and gently pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet.

Following his actions, the originally noisy scene quickly quieted down, everyone looked at him, and everyone's eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you again for your appreciation for coming to this small appreciation event. Just now everyone has seen these top artworks from the treasures of the Principality of Milan and witnessed this miracle together.

Because these top oil paintings have been hidden for too long, have been isolated for a long time, and are somewhat fragile. From the perspective of protection, I let my staff put away these oil paintings. I hope everyone can understand.

So far, the first link of this small appreciation event tonight has ended. Next, we will enter the second link. I believe everyone has heard that I do not collect antique art with religious colors!

Half of this batch of top artworks from the Principality of Milan has a strong religious color. The content of the paintings is related to biblical stories and is not in my collection. The other half of the artworks have nothing to do with religion."

Hearing this, the scene boiled directly.

Everyone at the scene suddenly became more excited as if they had just shot a tube of chicken blood. Everyone's eyes were shining straight, staring at Ye Tian and the dozens of telescopic drawing tubes.

Especially the many high-ranking government officials headed by the mayor of Milan, the high-level officials of major museums, and many super-rich and top collectors, the eyes are instantly red!

As long as you are not an idiot, you can hear the subtext in Ye Tian's words.

Obviously, he is going to sell the top art works with strong religious colors on the spot, and he collects the other half of the oil paintings that have nothing to do with religion!

Thinking of this, can people who are interested in these top art works not be excited about it?

Before Ye Tian's words were over, these guys had already started gearing up, preparing to fight for the end. Today, they have to win a top-level artwork for whatever they say, otherwise they would be a big loss!

as predicted!

In the next moment, everyone heard what they wanted to hear the most.

“Given that these top artworks from the Duchy of Milan are very fragile and inconvenient for long-distance transportation, the best way to protect them is to protect them in place, that is, to keep them in Milan.

There are many famous museums in the city of Milan, and there are many top cultural and cultural personnel. I believe that these top oil paintings can be given the best protection and let them bloom again with an incomparably bright light of art.

In addition, in Milan, Italy, and even in Europe and other places, we still have some exploration missions and exploration operations that have not been completed. It is impossible to run around with these top art works!

There is another reason. After we discovered the treasures of Mark Anthony and Julius II in Rome, our company reached a tripartite agreement with the Vatican and the Italian government.

Regarding the entire content of this tripartite agreement, it is temporarily impossible to disclose, but one of the provisions stipulates that if we choose to sell the treasures found in Italy, Italy has the right of first refusal.

The first right of purchase can be the Italian government and local government, the major museums in Italy, the super-rich and top collectors, or ordinary citizens."

Ye Tian smiled and said loudly, throwing a blockbuster again.

Before the words were over, there was already an excited cheer on the scene, coming from the Italians.

"Wow! Pre-emptive rights, it's great, the Roman idiots finally did the right thing!"

"In other words, we hope to leave half of the treasures of the Principality of Milan. This is really great news. Don't **** me from anyone. Artist Caravaggio's "Escape to Egypt", I'm going to make it!"

Seeing these excited Italians, Ye Tian also burst into a bright smile.

When the scene calmed down a bit, he went on to say:

"As long as you are Italians, you have this right. Of course, this purchase right is based on the valuation I gave. If it is lower than my valuation, then I can only ship those antique artworks to New York.

I am very sure that there are many super-rich and top collectors, as well as famous museums, who are waving their checkbooks, waiting for me to ship these priceless antiques back to New York, ready to buy them!

In fact, I have received a lot of calls from old friends in the past two days. They are asking me when I will return to New York and will bring back those top antique artworks. Some impatient guys are even preparing to place a deposit!

However, I did not accept the reservation of these old friends, because I don't know which top antique artworks I will eventually return to New York with, which ones to sell, and which ones to collect by myself.

Let's get back to the topic. Next, I will hold a private auction. The auction target is the top oil paintings with strong religious colors from the treasures of the Principality of Milan that you have just seen.

Everyone is welcome to bid actively, as long as you can beat other competitors and quote above the reserve price I set, you can get the corresponding top art works. After paying, you can take them with you tonight!

As for the other half of the top art works in the treasure, UU Reading www.uukānshu.com I am going to collect it myself. If you want to appreciate and appraise it carefully, you can see them in the Vatican Museum in two days. You can enjoy them slowly! "

At this point, everyone at the scene became more excited, and couldn't wait to wait.

"Steven, what are you waiting for? Let's start the auction now."

The former Italian Prime Minister standing in the first row of the crowd said loudly, looking like someone else.

In fact, he is indeed the richest person on the scene, and he speaks naturally and confidently.

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then raised his right hand and waved it down gently.

"Okay, gentlemen, this private auction officially begins now!"
