Chapter 570: Arms information
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended.
After several hours of negotiation, the two sides have reached an agreement!
In principle, various museums and famous collectors accept Ye Tian's conditions, allowing him to cut 40 to 50% of the stolen antique art!
Of course, this is conditional.
Ye Tian must take out this part of the antique art that was swallowed up, and through private transactions, let museums and famous collectors repurchase them at market prices and take them back to the museums.
This kind of private transaction must be kept confidential by both parties to avoid unnecessary trouble!
In this way, Ye Tian made a huge fortune, and various museums and famous collectors can claim to the public that they have successfully recovered all the stolen top antique artworks. It can be said that everyone is happy!
As for those Chinese antique artworks intercepted by Ye Tian, he will also find Western antique artworks of equivalent value to replace them, and there is no problem.
As before, the two parties reached an oral agreement, which was not implemented in the contract.
One is because the owners of various museums need to go back to a meeting to discuss and cannot make a decision immediately.
Furthermore, Ye Tian didn't even think about signing the contract immediately, it would only tie up his hands and feet, and it would not be worth the loss!
After I have contacted all the museums and collectors on the list and reached an agreement, it is the time to really sign the contract.
Next, you can go to Boston again to dig this huge treasure, and by the way, pull out Thompson's art crime syndicate.
"Steven, you promised me that Picasso's peak work, you must not break your promise!"
Isaac came over and said, the old man was still very excited, and his smile was brighter than flowers.
"Didn't I just say it! This is just a metaphor, how can you take it seriously? Mr. Isaac, of course, if the exchange terms satisfy me, this transaction is not impossible!"
Ye Tian pretended to be surprised, but didn't say anything to death.
"You guy, you are so slippery! Don't worry, the exchange of terms will definitely satisfy you!"
Isaac said badly, feeling rather helpless.
After a few more conversations, the old man turned and returned to his seat, ready to pack his things and leave here.
The others did the same and got up to leave.
At this moment, Ye Tian's voice rang in everyone's ears again.
"Gentlemen, once again, we must keep it secret! This matter is not to the last minute, absolutely must not disclose the least bit of information, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous! I believe you and I are not willing to face that kind of result!"
"I see, we definitely care more about the safety of those stolen antique artworks than you. I believe everyone is the same, and we will never leak secrets!"
The curator of the Metropolitan Museum nodded and said, and the others nodded in response.
"That's naturally better! Besides, if the gentleman doesn't plan to leave New York for the time being, he'd better wait a while before leaving. We will contact the hotel for everyone.
It is very close to the Plaza Hotel, not a few blocks away. How about arranging everyone to stay in the Plaza Hotel? The board and lodging expenses are all mine, which is also a little bit of my heart! "
"You guy is very generous, but let's forget it, I can't bear it! When you go back to sign the contract, you guys don't start too dark, then we will be grateful!"
Said a famous collector in Philadelphia with a wry smile.
"That's right, you guy is so dark, how can we dare to enjoy your favor! Who knows what the price will be to pay back!"
Someone joked and spit out, a famous collector from Atlantic City.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone nodded in sympathy.
"Ok! Since everyone is unwilling to accept this arrangement, then I can just save this expenditure. What a great thing, why not do it!
I won’t send you off. There are still some things to do. Jason will take you away. I wish you all a good time in New York and enjoy a good winter time. See you guys! "
"See you later, you lucky guy!"
Everyone bid farewell and left the meeting room.
However, two of them were left by Ye Tian, Joey from the FBI's art crime group, and the deputy director from the FBI Directorate General in Washington!
The others left soon, and the meeting room was closed again.
At this time there are only five people left in the conference room, Ye Tian, David and Matisse, and Joey and the FBI Deputy Director Joseph!
"Steven, why leave us alone? Is there anything else?"
Joey asked curiously, slightly puzzled.
"Yes! There are indeed things, and these things are inconvenient for others to know"
Ye Tian nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"What's the matter? Come and listen."
Deputy Director Joseph interjected, also very curious!
"Museum curators and collectors from other cities will arrive in New York tomorrow. As the competent authority for art crime, I think you should be there tomorrow too."
"It's true, we will come tomorrow"
"Guests from Mexico and Canada will also arrive tomorrow, and perhaps from other countries. Not only will there be museum owners and collectors, but also detectives from various countries responsible for art crimes.
The day after tomorrow will be guests from Asia, Europe, and South America. If nothing happens, Scotland Yard, the French Art Precaution Team, the Italian Cultural Relics Gendarmerie, etc. should all be sent.
I can deal with museum owners and collectors, but for your foreign colleagues, I hope you will come forward to deal with them. I don't want to conflict with them, let alone destroy the whole thing! "
Ye Tian explained the situation he was about to face with a serious expression.
These cultural relics police outside the United States do not understand the situation here, nor do they know themselves. Who knows what they will do, they have to guard against!
Upon hearing this, Joey and Joseph's expressions became more solemn.
After thinking a little, Joseph immediately said:
"Steven, don't worry, we know what to do. These foreign colleagues will let us deal with it. We will do a good job of communication and will not let them do bad things!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then continued:
"There is another thing about the goods in that warehouse. There are some special circumstances. I didn't tell you before. Now is the time.
Apart from hiding a large number of stolen antique artworks in that warehouse, there are also many other types of antiques. There are a lot of these antiques and they add up to a certain value.
According to my preliminary estimation, the market value of these antiques is about 40 million US dollars. If they are sold separately, they should be able to buy more, but it will not exceed 50 million US dollars.
Unlike many stolen antique artworks, these antiques are all unowned. For these antiques, I request 60% of them, and the rest belong to you."
Upon hearing this, Joey and Joseph couldn't help flashing a hint of surprise in their eyes.
40% share, 20 million US dollars! Wrong fortune! It's amazing.
"Steven, is there a video of these items? I'd better let us see it!"
Joseph asked excitedly, his eyes full of expectation.
Of course there are video materials, but they just cannot be shown to you. If you are allowed to see the text on those crates, it will be a big trouble!
God knows if there are any written records of the arms that originally belonged to the "Freedom Sons Association"! If there are relevant records, and the storage location is specified, and then you find it, then buddies are not busy!
"I'm very sorry, Joseph, the time was tight at the time, and the value of these antiques was relatively low, so I did not photograph these antiques"
Ye Tianxin said nonsense, and if he believes it or not, he said otherwise.
"Hey! That's a shame, can you tell me what kind of antiques they are?"
Joseph sighed and said regretfully.
However, his flickering eyes showed that he didn't believe Ye Tian's words very much.
You guys have always acted perfectly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ how could you not shoot the video material? Lie to the ghost!
Ye Tian didn't bother to take care of whether they believed it or not.
After a short pause, he continued:
"That was a batch of military supplies more than two hundred years ago, including guns, ammunition, military uniforms, etc., which should be related to the American Revolutionary War. Although the value is not high, the historical significance is not trivial!
Because of this, I must inform in advance that when we enter the warehouse, it is best to have someone from the Historical Heritage Protection Advisory Committee of the Ministry of the Interior, so as to avoid some unnecessary troubles! "
"Ah! It's actually a large amount of arms during the War of Independence!"
Joseph exclaimed and immediately stood up, looking at Ye Tian in shock.
Joey, who was sitting next to him, was also taken aback by the news!
While feeling shocked, they also realized that this might be the biggest secret of that warehouse!
