Chapter 661: Overseas transactions
A false alarm!
The gangster riding a motorcycle inquired about the situation with the buddies in the leather shop next door, and after making sure that no suspicious people appeared nearby, they rode away quickly and searched elsewhere.
They had just left, and the roar of the off-road motorcycles had not disappeared from their ears, and a stern sound of police sirens came from outside, whizzing here.
Obviously, a large number of police and gangsters are searching in the ancient city of Cartagena, hoping to find the unidentified and cruel guys!
The blue and white house on 32nd Street is still very quiet, except for breathing, there is no other sound.
It wasn't until the police car passed by the door that the sirens became smaller and smaller, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
Ye Tian put away the M9 pistol and walked back to the living room, then sat down on the sofa again.
Afterwards, he immediately connected to the topic just now.
"Silva, you can tell the price of this oil painting. At what price do you plan to sell it, I'll listen!"
Silva nodded and began to quote the price he wanted.
"Okay, Jack, since I thought about selling this oil painting, I have been paying attention to the auction price of Greco's paintings, and I have some understanding of the market.
In July last year, at Sotheby's night auction in London, a piece of Greco's work was successfully sold, and the price was over 14 million US dollars.
Taking this price as a guide, and considering my current situation, the price I offered for the Greco oil painting in my hand is 12 million US dollars. I wonder if you can accept it? "
After speaking, Silva immediately stared at Ye Tian nervously, with anticipation in his eyes, looking forward to hearing the best and perfect answer.
12 million dollars! Too cheap!
Ye Tian wanted to nod in an instant, but finally held back.
Of course, he knew that the Greco oil painting made by Sotheby's in London was much smaller than the one before him, about 50*60, which was less than one-third of the painting before him.
More importantly, the representativeness and artistic value of that oil painting is far less than the one in front of me.
It is Greco's middle and early works. He had just made his mark in Spain at that time, and he could not be called a great one. The artistic style has not yet been fully formed and is still in the exploratory stage!
But the oil painting in front of me is Greco's peak period work. It can be regarded as one of his masterpieces. The artistic value is extraordinary, far beyond.
It can be sold for a high price of 14 million U.S. dollars, so the oil painting in front of me is sold for a sky-high price of more than 50 million U.S. dollars. There is no problem at all.
This is Silva, who has no knowledge of the real situation of the art market, especially the market value of top art.
There may also be a huge price gap between the early works of the same top artist and the peak works, and there may even be a world of difference!
If he knew, he would not have offered the cabbage price of $12 million.
Even so, Ye Tian didn't plan to agree to the price immediately, but was ready to talk about the price again. This is a kind of fun, not!
"Silva, it seems that you have done your homework a long time ago, and you know the market price of Greco's oil paintings very well, but this is not a public auction after all, it's just a private art transaction.
No one is bidding up the price here. Everyone is calm. It certainly cannot be compared with the auction price. The origin of this oil painting is also a lot of trouble, so I am definitely not able to get such a high price.
But I like this oil painting very much, and I really want to include it in my bag. Considering your current situation, I can't bear to bargain too hard, 8 million US dollars, this is my offer!
If you can accept this price, we can trade immediately, and when we arrive in the Cayman Islands, I will put the money into your newly opened bank account and make you a millionaire.
In addition, my lawyer will come from the United States to improve the relevant legal procedures for this transaction, and assist your family in obtaining a new identity, so that you can start a new life smoothly"
While Ye Tian said this, Silva's expression began to change drastically, and his breathing became much heavier.
When he heard the figure of 8 million US dollars, his eyes immediately became extremely bright, like a searchlight, and his eyes were full of excitement!
8 million dollars!
He is just a teacher in a Columbia high school. He has never seen such a large wealth, let alone possessed it!
Perhaps only in his dreams, he had so much wealth!
He knew exactly what this money meant.
It means that your family can start a new life in Europe, do what you want to do, and no longer have to worry about life or run around for money!
It means that your family can live in a good house, drive a good car, wives can wear the most beautiful clothes, sons and daughters can enjoy the best education, and grow up healthy and happy!
It means a life that most people envy! That is a dream that is almost never possible in Colombia! Now it's close in front of you, within reach!
Compared to before, this new life must be 10,000 times happier!
Thinking of this, Silva has a sense of unreality as if dreaming, and he is a little dizzy when he is happy!
This dizziness lasted for four or five seconds before he woke up!
Although the offer was 12 million US dollars, Silva did not dare to expect to be able to sell this price.
He knows what situation he is currently in, he knows better than anyone else, the bereaved dog is the best description!
Even if these guys don't spend a dime, they can easily get this oil painting! It depends on whether they want it!
As long as they want, they can do it anytime!
When flying over the Caribbean Sea, as long as you kick yourself out of the plane, you can immediately take this oil painting as your own without any trouble!
Although I am very satisfied with the 8 million US dollars and want to have it immediately, the desire is always endless!
Suppressing the excitement a little bit, Silva said in a long period of time:
"Jack, how about a median price, 10 million U.S. dollars! Next, we have to apply for a new identity. When we go to Europe, we have to buy a house, buy a car and find a job, which requires a lot of money.
To you, this money may not be a big deal, but to our family, this is all, and we may not have this kind of opportunity in the future to earn such a fortune."
Obviously, Silva still wants to fight for more. Who would think the money is too hot?
Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a hint of sympathy in his heart.
It’s only $2 million, and it’s okay to give them! What does it matter if you make less money!
Besides, apart from this Greco oil painting during this trip, I have even greater gains!
It's the Titian painting, that's the real high-priced artwork. It only cost 500 US dollars.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately chuckled and nodded.
"Okay, Silva, $10 million sold! Hope this money will make your lives happier!"
With that, he stretched out his right hand forward.
"Thank you so much, Jack, you are such a generous fellow! Deal!"
Silva held Ye Tian's right hand tightly, and almost cheered excitedly.
Fortunately, his mind was still sober, he knew where he was, and forcibly resisted the urge to cheer and celebrate.
Looking at the face in front of him that was almost laughing, Ye Tian couldn't help being infected by it and chuckled.
Matisse and Pique are the same, with a bright smile on their faces!
Both of them knew in their hearts that Steven must have made a big mistake, but they didn't know how much this oil painting was worth! Far beyond 10 million US dollars is for sure!
The deal is done! Both parties are very satisfied.
Next, Ye Tian took out the Greco oil painting from the painting tube, spread it on the coffee table, and admired it again.
After the appreciation, he took the oil painting of Titian from another painting tube, separated the two oil paintings with waterproof paper, stacked them together, and carefully rolled them up.
Later, he used the cling film and other plastic products found in this house to take careful and meticulous waterproofing measures.
After doing this, he put the two top oil paintings wrapped in layers into the same painting tube.
The reason for doing this is entirely for portability!
Greco's oil painting is already his own in name. He can't worry about letting Silva carry it on his back. In case it is accidentally damaged, he won't be heartbroken!
During this period, he also used his mobile phone to take a lot of photos of two top oil paintings, both as a whole and with many partial details!
Seeing his movements, Silva on the opposite sofa hesitated and stopped several times, his expression constantly changing, it was wonderful!
Man! You haven't checked out yet!
That top oil painting doesn't belong to you yet, it's still mine, so you are too anxious!
But the situation is better than others, Silva can only complain to himself in his heart, so he dare to say this.
After rolling up the two top oil paintings and putting them into the painting tube, Ye Tian greeted several people, then picked up the phone and walked into the room furthest away from 32nd Street.
He went to contact David in New York and several famous collectors.
During the call, he sent all the photos he had just taken to several famous collectors and asked them if they were interested in these two top famous paintings!
If you are interested and intend to include these two top famous paintings, come to the Cayman Islands!
Due to the special circumstances of these two famous paintings ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Tian does not plan to bring them into the United States personally, let alone send them to auctions, which will cause a lot of trouble.
These troubles come from many sources. The United States is the Raytheon Security Company, the FBI Art Crime Group, and the indispensable IRS!
On the Colombian side, it is the Colombian Ministry of Culture, the Cartagena City Government, and the Colombian gang with heavy casualties!
More is worse than less. He is going to transfer these two top famous paintings in the Cayman Islands. The target of the transfer is the famous collectors, and the guys must be killed!
As for the transfer income, he does not plan to bring it back to the United States.
In addition to paying Silva's 10 million U.S. dollars, he intends to keep the rest of the money anonymously in the Cayman Islands. As a secret fund, it may be of great use in the future, such as offering a reward for killing individuals!
Time passed quickly, and it was already half an hour later when he came out of the room after the call.
It’s already lunch time, but it’s obviously impossible to eat out.
In the end, everyone can only search for food in this house.
Luckily, Pique found a few bags of biscuits in the kitchen closet, as well as the necessary coffee for Colombians at home, which can be considered as a good deal!
