Chapter 571: Crazy asking price
The next morning, visitors from other cities in the United States arrived as scheduled.
After some polite greetings, everyone quickly entered the topic and began to discuss how to successfully get back the stolen top antique artworks.
As in the previous situation, when Ye Tian offered the conditions, everyone exploded without exception!
In an instant, the entire meeting room was completely overwhelmed with anger, almost turned into a powder keg.
However, when Ye Tian went on to say a solution to the problem, everyone's anger quickly disappeared, and bursts of hearty laughter were heard in the meeting room, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
Afterwards, in a peaceful atmosphere, the negotiations continued.
Everything went smoothly. The two sides reached an agreement before eleven o'clock and formed an oral agreement with the same content as yesterday.
Next, Ye Tian invited everyone to enjoy a sumptuous lunch at the best restaurant in the Rockefeller Building to make the best of the host!
After the host and guest had enjoyed themselves, everyone just left.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Ye Tian walked into the meeting room again.
There were already many people in the conference room at this time, David and his assistants Anderson, Matisse and Jason, and representatives of several large art insurance companies.
Of course, there are indispensable FBI art crime team agents, Joey and Joseph.
After entering the door to greet him in a circle, Ye Tian sat in his seat, chatting with his friends easily while waiting for new visitors to arrive.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Jason walked into the conference room with the first three visitors.
Seeing the other person coming in, Ye Tian immediately got up from his seat and greeted him with a smile.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen, welcome to New York, welcome to the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, I am Steven, and I invite you to New York! It is an honor to meet you all!"
"Steven, good afternoon, I'm glad to meet you. We met during the video call before. I am Marvin, the curator of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada.
Your company is very good, full of passion and vitality, and also very artistic. It is the most beautiful and elegant company I have ever seen. It is enviable! "
The first fifty-year-old white man shook hands with Ye Tian, introduced himself, and sent a series of compliments and compliments.
"Thank you! It's just a treasure hunting company. It's not the best. Who are these two?"
Ye Tian was polite, then turned his gaze to the other two.
"Introduce, they are agents from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who are responsible for the investigation of antique art crimes. This is..."
Marvin introduced the identities of the other two, as expected.
During this process, the two Canadian agents had been observing Ye Tian, and their eyes seemed unfriendly.
This is not difficult to understand, because Ye Tian's reputation in Canada is not so good for the previous piece of national treasure-level nugget gold, and it can even be said to be extremely stinky!
Coupled with this, how could they have a friendly attitude.
As for the two people's scrutiny gaze, if Ye Tian didn't see him, he shook hands with the two, and then handed them to Joey.
"Gentlemen, this is Joey, the person in charge of the FBI's art crime team. I am with you. You can get to know and communicate!"
After getting acquainted with each other, several Canadian visitors found a place to sit down, suppressed their eagerness, and waited for the arrival of other visitors together.
Arriving shortly thereafter were visitors from the Mexican Museum of Anthropology.
They did the same. There was a deputy director of the museum and two police officers specializing in investigating art crimes.
Then came Canadian again, the director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and a famous collector from Vancouver, the two came together!
The last and most important visitor did not arrive until three o'clock.
"Good afternoon, Duke Torreschi, welcome to New York, to my company, this is Steven. We saw you during the video call before. You are much more energetic than the video! You are also younger!"
Ye Tian stepped forward to greet each other, and at the same time sent out a series of compliments for no money, appearing very enthusiastic.
It is here that the Duke of Torreyski and his party, the biggest fat sheep!
"Steven, good afternoon, nice to meet you, in reality you are obviously more handsome than on the video, this company is also very good, really young and promising!
Thank you very much for your information. Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man" is very important to our Torreschi family, and also very important to the whole of Poland! "
Duke Torreschi directly gave Ye Tian a warm hug, and then said with excitement, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Later, the 60-year-old Polish man began to introduce other people around him.
"This is the deputy director of the Czartoryski Museum. The name is Mivas. He also comes from the Torreyski family. He controls the financial power of the entire museum.
Simon Kleski, from the Polish Department of History and Culture, his main job is to find Polish antique artworks that have been lost all over the world!
Peter Mavakhowski, from the Polish Consulate-General in New York, is the cultural counselor of the Consulate-General. He is familiar with New York, so he was sent to assist us in our work.
These two detectives from the Police Headquarters under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Poland, who are responsible for investigating crimes of antique art, also came here to assist us in our work! "
"Gentlemen, welcome to New York, nice to meet you!"
Ye Tian greeted everyone warmly and shook hands with each other.
"Hello, Steven, thank you very much for helping us find Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man in Poland. You will be the best friend of all Polish people in the future!"
These people are very polite and full of gratitude in their words!
Poles’ best friend? I hope you can still think like this after this incident is over, instead of shouting and hating your buddies!
Ye Tian said to himself, and then took the arrangements to sit down.
Subsequently, the talks officially started.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
The door of the meeting room opened again, and people came out one after another.
The people who took the lead out of the meeting room were basically happy and excited, leaving the Brave Fearless Exploration Company with a smile and walking towards the elevator.
Obviously, these people have gained something, and the gain is not small!
They all reached a verbal agreement with Ye Tian, and it was not far from getting back the stolen antique artworks that belonged to them or the museum!
What they need to pay is only a small part of the repurchase funds! For the museums, there is basically no pressure.
The bulk of the repurchase funds is the indemnity of the insurance company!
Insurance companies are also willing to bear this cost. Compared with the large losses that were about to be restored, these repurchase costs are nothing at all!
And this cost may not be borne by them. Those art thieves and many unscrupulous collectors are the best candidates to bear this cost.
The result is not everyone happy! Some people are still very upset!
Finally, the few Poles who walked out of the conference room were all sullen and angry. They clenched their fists, wishing to turn back and rush back to the conference room and beat the **** inside!
Especially Duke Torreschi, his legs were shaking with anger, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and it seemed that he might pass away at any time.
After sending a few Polish guests to the elevator, Jason smirked and turned back to the company.
When he walked into the company, Duke Torreschi immediately gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice:
"Fak! He really opened his eyes today, there is such a greedy **** in the world! 500 million dollars, he really dares to open his mouth! It is almost unheard of!"
"Yes! This **** **** is so crazy, really wishful thinking!"
The deputy curator of the Torreschi Museum is also very angry, his teeth are almost broken!
"Should we use official power? Put some pressure on this **** **** and let him put away those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible!"
"It's useless! Have you seen the two lawyers next to Steven? They are from Sullivan Cromwell, one of the largest law firms on Wall Street!
These **** dared to send the White House to court for money, how could they care about Poland? And Steven, the **** does nothing, it is impossible to take advantage of! "
The Cultural Counselor of the Polish Embassy and Consulate shook his head and said, with a frustrated expression on his face.
"Damn it, if that doesn't work, then use other means to get back this famous painting anyway. This is a Polish national treasure, and it must not be lost again! Let alone blackmailed by this **** New York bastard!"
A police officer from the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs said harshly, his eyes flickering.
"Don't! You don't understand ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Steven is a **** who can do anything, he is not only strong and cruel! He never gives in!
If you use extreme methods, the effect is likely to be counterproductive, and you will even have to pay a huge price. As long as this **** finds a reasonable excuse, he will never be merciless when killing people. He is definitely a butcher!
In addition, there is one more thing. Steven this **** has a small army under his command. The members are all elites of the U.S. Special Forces. They are all brave and sturdy and equipped with sophisticated weapons. "
The cultural counsellor of the embassy and consulate quickly whispered, trying to stop his irrational actions.
At the same time that this warning was issued, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
He has been working and living in New York for several years, so he knows Ye Tian's past deeds and killings very well. It is frightening to think about it!
"what--!"
The others exclaimed one after another, they were completely stupid!
What kind of monster is he?
