Chapter 566: Famous paintings are always stolen
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the company meeting room.
Ye Tian’s voice kept coming. Video materials were being played on the white projection screen. The content was naturally numerous stolen antique artworks hidden under the Old North Church.
In addition to the seven in the morning, there were more than 20 new faces in the conference room at this time.
Among them are not only major museum curators or deputy curators, but also several famous collectors, as well as top art brokers, all of whom are well-known in the field of antique art collection.
In addition, representatives from several well-known art insurance companies, such as AXA and Chubb, were all present!
There is also Joey, the head of the FBI's art crime team, and an FBI deputy director from Washington.
The remaining people are Ye Tian, David and his two assistants, Jason and Matisse.
In the process of playing video materials, the discussion in the conference room never stopped, and it continued to spread to everyone's ears.
"Oh my God! These art thieves are so crazy that they have looted so many top antique artworks, it's incredible!"
"According to the old guy Julian, this is only part of it. There are still a large number of stolen antique artworks in the hands of the art thieves, all of which are top quality goods!
Those **** are not limited to the major museums in the United States. Their footprints are almost all over the world. They are the top art crime group in the world today!
I'm sure that once these **** get caught, they will surely make a sensation in the whole world, and the field of antique art collection will be the first to bear the brunt. A huge tsunami is inevitable! "
"These art thieves are crazy, and Steven is even more hateful! This **** wants to swallow 50% of the top antique art and is not afraid of being choked to death!"
Speaking of this, many people turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, everyone's expression was very ugly, gritted their teeth hatefully!
As the person involved, Ye Tian smiled at this moment, chatting with David sitting next to him in a low voice, ignoring the hostile eyes of everyone.
Ye Tian and the others are very excited, and the success is here!
However, there are more happy people on the scene, that is, Joey and the deputy director of the FBI General Administration.
At this time, the two of them were already excited, and they were so excited that they were almost crazy. If it were not for the wrong occasion, they would have already cheered and celebrated!
They never expected that they could see this scene, seeing so many heavyweight museum curators, famous collectors, and top art dealers!
The scale of the international art crime syndicate in Boston and the number of stolen top antique artworks completely exceeded the limit of their imagination!
If this top art criminal group were to be destroyed in their own hands, what kind of situation would it be? It would be exciting to think about it!
Several senior art insurance company executives were also very excited. They thought that the large sum of indemnities that had been squandered are now expected to be recovered. Can you be unhappy?
But when they thought of paying a large reward and being ransacked by Steven’s bastard, they couldn’t be happy again!
What a fortune is that! Who can afford it?
More than ten minutes passed quickly, and all the video materials related to everyone present have been played.
Jason put away the laptop and put it in front of Ye Tian.
Negotiations restart! It's time to go hand in hand!
Someone can't wait to speak out, it's the curator of the new gallery in New York, and an old friend!
"Steven, thank you very much for finding the whereabouts of these stolen antique artworks. This is the luck of all of us and the luck of those stolen antique artworks.
But thank you, thank you, we will never agree to your terms. If you want to get 50% of the stolen antique art, this appetite is too big? Simply ridiculous! "
"Yes! That's impossible! You know, every stolen top antique artwork has a high reward. That is already a very huge wealth. You can't be too greedy!"
The curator of the Chicago Museum of Art echoed, his expression rather ugly.
I want to make money from my buddies, but there are no doors!
Without paying the price that pleases the buddies, no one should want to get the exact information, let alone find the stolen top antique artworks.
Ye Tian smiled softly and immediately launched a counterattack.
"Gentlemen, take a long-term view and don't just stare at the stolen antique artworks in front of you. As far as I know, there are many top antique artworks flowing out of the art thieves!
After a careful search, I found a stolen record in that warehouse, recording all the top antique art stolen from the **** in the past few decades, very detailed!
I took a rough count and found that the number of stolen antique artworks that have been stolen on the list far exceeds the number currently hidden in the warehouse, even as much as twice as much."
Before the voice was over, the conference room exploded immediately
"Oh my God! There is actually a record of stolen goods, which is great!"
The first ones who jumped up and cheered were FBI's Joey and the deputy director. They were almost crazy with excitement.
If this record of stolen goods does exist, they know what it means better than anyone else.
That means countless theft of top antique artworks, an astonishing amount of wealth, and many famous collectors who are about to lose their reputation!
"Does this mean that we can retrieve the same batch of stolen antique art? Even antique art stolen at other times, if so, it is simply perfect!"
The curator of the Philadelphia Museum of Art jumped straight out of his seat and cheered forgettingly.
In 1999, their museum was stolen and five top antique works of art were stolen, but this time he saw only two on the video data, and the other three were not seen at all.
At this moment, I suddenly heard that there was a list of stolen stolen goods, which recorded all the stolen stolen goods of the art thieves. How could he not make him ecstatic?
The reactions of everyone else in the meeting room were almost exactly the same. Everyone's excited faces were red, their eyes gleaming, and they cheered!
This kind of reaction is right, this is what the buddies want to see most!
Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed down, motioning everyone to be quiet and control their emotions.
The meeting room quickly quieted down, and everyone looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to hearing more shocking content.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued with a smile:
"There is such a famous saying in the collectors' circles that'famous paintings are always stolen'. I believe that the stolen antique works of various museums and collectors are by no means the only ones on the video.
As long as you get this record of stolen goods, you can retrieve a large number of stolen antique artworks according to the picture. At that time, everyone's harvest will not only be seen on the video, but more!
For the stolen antique artworks on the stolen list, I have no covetous heart. You only need to redeem the reward. The target I asked for is the existing goods in the warehouse.
In this way, your probability of recovering stolen antique artworks will be greatly increased. It is likely to be as high as 70% or 80% or even higher. In comparison, are my conditions too excessive? "
Hearing this, some people can't help but start thinking about it in secret.
From this point of view, the conditions offered by Steven this **** are not unacceptable. Overall, the share ratio has indeed been reduced a lot.
In particular, museum curators who have a lot of stolen antique artworks and have not seen a few of them on the video are already inclined to agree to Ye Tian's conditions!
There are also a few senior insurance companies. In their opinion, as long as this list of stolen goods is true, they can completely agree to the bastard's condition of Steven.
This price can be borne by our company, and this loss may not be borne by the insurance company. Those art thieves and unethical collectors who collect stolen goods should bear this cost!
Of course, there are some doubts in everyone's eyes.
Is there such a list of stolen goods? Don't make it up by the **** Steven, it's just to increase the weight of the lion's mouth!
"Maybe you think what I said is unfounded and may not be credible, so I will show strong evidence. The most recent record of stolen goods on the list is "George Dale" by the famous British painter Francis Bacon.
If I’m not mistaken, the immoral collector who bought this famous painting and the famous painting itself have all fallen into the hands of the FBI’s art crime team. Am I right? Joey! "
After speaking, Ye Tian turned his head to look at Joey, his eyes full of confidence.
Damn bastard! So you know everything!
Joey cursed secretly, then nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes! We did catch this immoral collector in Boston, and we also seized Francis Bacon's famous painting, "George Dale" that was stolen in London a few years ago.
Following this clue, we conducted an in-depth and detailed investigation, but it is a pity that these art thieves are well-organized and cleverly concealed too deeply, and we have not found their trace.
Regarding the identity of the unscrupulous collector, we are temporarily inconvenient to disclose, but we can tell you about the Francis Bacon painting.
The famous painting was disguised with special paints, and there is no trace of the original work from the outside. Special glasses must be used to see the famous paintings hidden under the special paints.
Since Steven knows the existence of this famous painting, it means that he has indeed seen the record of stolen stolen goods. The credibility of what he said is very high. The record of stolen stolen goods should indeed exist! "
After speaking, he immediately looked at Ye Tian, his eyes full of expectation, looking forward to seeing that very tempting list of stolen goods immediately.
But Ye Tian didn't look at him at all. Instead, he stared at the museum owners and famous collectors who were so excited to dance.
"Steven, our museum accepts your conditions in principle. You can get one of the two stolen artworks that appear on the screen!
But this matter has to go through the procedures, the museum does not belong to me after all, we have to have a meeting to study it, and I will reply to you later, it should be a positive answer! "
The Philadelphia Museum of Art was the first to change its position and raised the white flag.
"Our museum is the same. You can accept your terms. As long as the case is resolved, the three Chinese ink landscape paintings belong to you! Of course, you have to communicate with AXA Art Insurance Company!"
Isaac of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts exclaimed, “UU Reading www. uukanshu.com has a painful expression on his face.
He couldn't disagree, because they were the museum that suffered the most from the art robbers.
In the past two decades, there have been more than one theft in their museum. The top art stolen is by no means only the six video materials, but a lot more.
Judging from the signs right now, these thefts are probably done by the art robbers in Boston. Who will let them get close? This is the so-called near-water towers!
As soon as Isaac's voice fell, the senior executives of AXA Art Insurance Company spoke out!
"Steven, our insurance company accepts your terms in principle, but we have to go through the procedures! It shouldn't be difficult to pass!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian clenched his fists and cheered secretly.
"It's done! Made a fortune!"
Not only was he celebrating secretly, but David and his assistants, as well as Jason and Matisse, were filled with ecstasy in everyone's eyes.
