Chapter 618: Start of transaction
The scene finally calmed down. Everyone looked at the table in front of the banquet hall, and looked at the radiant Ye Tian in suit and leather shoes. Everyone was full of expectations.
Those museum curators and famous collectors from all over the world are looking forward to the start of the transaction, so that they can get back their stolen top antique artworks as soon as possible, even if it is a second earlier!
Matisse and David, as well as the many employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, are even more looking forward to the beginning of the transaction and the end as soon as possible, so that they can get a lot of rewards soon.
The waiting time was not long. Ye Tian's voice was quickly uploaded from the station, amplified by the microphone, and passed into everyone's ears, very clear.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the banquet hall of the Bartley Hotel. I don’t think I need to introduce who I am? You should know everyone!"
"Hahaha"
There was a chuckle at the scene, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
The laughter fell slightly, and Ye Tian continued:
"This is a beautiful night. I hope everyone can enjoy every second here and the purpose of calling everyone here. Everyone at the scene knows that it is to complete the contract we signed before.
The top antique artworks stolen from the underground palace of the Old North Church are all placed in this banquet hall at this time, right in front of everyone, with a lot of them, and they are kept in good condition.
For the investigation and evidence collection of these stolen antique artworks, the FBI's art crime team has completed, which means that we can perform the contract and complete the pre-arranged transaction!
Through these transactions, everyone gets what they need. Our Brave Fearless Exploration Company gets the income that it deserves. What you get is the top antique artworks that have been stolen for a long time. Everyone is happy!
One thing needs to be stated in advance that the Chinese antique artworks used for exchange must be approved by me before they can be exchanged! I am extremely confident in my ability to identify antique works of art!
No matter what appraisal conclusions your respective museums or other appraisal experts gave in the past, I will not count them. Everything is subject to my appraisal conclusions. There is no discussion! "
These last few words Ye Tian said categorically, and his tone was beyond doubt.
Where do you dying foreigners appreciate Chinese art? God knows what weird appraisal conclusions will be given. The most reliable thing is your buddy eyes. No one else can believe it!
Hearing his remarks, there was immediate discussion on the scene.
"Steven is too confident, isn't he? He doesn't trust everyone else's appraisal conclusions. He only believes in his own eyes. The confident ones are a little arrogant!"
"No way, this kid is indeed arrogant capital, who heard that this guy has seen it? Not once! If this is replaced by other antique art appraisal experts, who can do it? Not accept it!
Besides, even if we are not satisfied, what can we do? Now it's the man who is the knife and I am the fish, the right to speak is not in our hands, we can only listen to this bastard, what he says is what! "
The discussion gradually subsided, and Ye Tian's voice immediately came again.
"After talking so much gossip, you must be impatient to hear, then I will stop talking nonsense, lest you annoy everyone, the transaction will begin now!"
The voice fell, and there was a burst of cheers.
"That's right! Steven, just waiting for you!"
"Awesome, Steven, let's get started"
After a short pause, Ye Tian smiled and said loudly again:
"Everyone is currently in Boston, and the stolen top antique artworks were also found in Boston. Let's start with the city's museum.
The reason why I had the idea of tracing these art thieves was related to an old thing in Boston, and that was the shocking robbery that occurred at the Gardner Museum more than two decades ago.
Therefore, the first museum to trade today is the Gardner Museum in Boston. Please come with me to the temporary meeting room next to the Gardner Museum.
The process and content of the transaction need to be kept confidential. Everyone must be able to understand it. I will not explain it anymore. Please wait patiently for a while, and it will be your turn to enter this conference room soon.
We will serve you sweet champagne, everyone can enjoy the wine here, have a good chat, this is a rare opportunity for communication, if you miss it, it would be a pity! Please, everyone! "
When the voice fell, Ye Tian immediately stepped off the stage, came to Brandon and several Gardner Museum staff, smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, please!"
"It's been more than twenty years, and finally let us wait until this day, we finally didn't wait in vain!"
Brandon said with emotion, his eye circles were a little moist.
After sighing, he followed Ye Tian to the temporary meeting room next to him.
Behind them, several Gardner Museum employees took a few pieces of Chinese antique art and immediately followed, and everyone was excited.
On the other side, David was already standing in front of the conference room with several assistants.
In addition, Matisse and Walker are also at the door. Matisse will follow up the meeting room and be responsible for the security of the meeting room. Walker will guard the door to prevent others from entering.
In addition to them, Joey and two colleagues of the FBI's art crime team were also waiting at the door of the meeting room.
The whole process of this transaction must be carried out under the supervision of the FBI's art crime team, so Joey and the others will appear here.
"Guys, let's go in"
When he arrived at the door, Ye Tian pushed the door directly and walked in. The others followed suit. Walker and an FBI art crime team agent stood by the door and acted as the door god!
Everyone is already familiar with it, so there is no such thing as politeness, so I went straight to the subject.
After sitting down, Ye Tian immediately turned on the invisible headset call function and said through the headset:
"Jason, you can bring in the 13 stolen antique works of art from the Gardner Museum! Be careful when you take them!"
"Okay, Steven, let's come in right away!"
Jason responded immediately, his excitement was a little fluttering.
About half a minute, the door of the meeting room was opened again.
Jason walked in with several company employees, each holding a piece of stolen antique art, which was just a few of Gardner's 13 top antique art stolen.
After entering the door, Jason and the others put these top antique artworks at the end of the conference table, separated from the Chinese antique artworks brought by the staff of the Gardner Museum, with a clear boundary!
Then they left the meeting room and went to get some other items.
Although they had watched it many times in the previous few days, Brandon and the others couldn't hide their excitement when they saw these babies in front of them.
Seeing their slightly gaffey performance~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Tian chuckled unconsciously.
However, it is not difficult to understand. The sudden appearance of a baby that has been stolen for more than 20 years, or even thought that it has long since ceased to exist, will make everyone excited.
Jason and the others went in and out of the conference room three times before they brought in all the 13 top antique works of art in the Gardner Museum.
Afterwards, a few of them left the meeting room and the door closed again.
"Blanton, and the other gentlemen, you can start the appraisal. After the appraisal is completed and there are no problems, we can trade!"
Ye Tian smiled and said to the opposite guys.
The few people on the other side can't even take care of him, they have already moved.
Brandon and the others have seen these antique artworks countless times since they arrived in the banquet hall, and they have been appraised many times. It can be said that the research is very thorough.
The identification at this time, to put it bluntly, is to prevent Ye Tian from stealing and changing posts, using fakes to make things happen!
Of course Ye Tian disdains this kind of thing! So the appraisal was over quickly, Brandon and the others sat back in their seats.
"There is no problem, Steven, every piece is undoubtedly authentic. This is the batch of antique art that was looted at the Gardner Museum more than 20 years ago!
Our appraisal is over, now it's your turn. These are the top few Chinese antique works of art in our museum's collection, which will definitely satisfy you! "
Brandon raised his hand and gestured to several Chinese antique artworks, and said confidently.
"I hope so, let me see it first!"
With that said, Ye Tian got up and walked towards the few Chinese antique works of art.
Although at the first sight of these antique artworks, he fully grasped their authenticity and value, and understood better than anyone, but the superficial article is still essential!
