Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Exchange Terms
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Poles arrived as scheduled, the same ones he had seen before.
"Gentlemen, good afternoon, welcome to Brave and Fearless Exploration Company. It is an honor to see you all again!"
With a big smile on his face, Ye Tian greeted the Poles who followed Jason into the conference room. They were very enthusiastic, just like meeting an old friend!
"Good afternoon, Steven, the name of your company is very appropriate, the brave are fearless! It is also very similar to your style of behavior!"
Duke Torreschi greeted with puns, with a grudging smile on his face.
And he looked at Ye Tian's eyes, full of jealousy at this time and vaguely fearful!
The same goes for the other Poles who followed him. Everyone's complexion is not pretty and their smiles are all squeezed out.
They all witnessed the bloody battle that shook the entire New York City the night before on TV!
Like everyone else, they were stunned by the battle scene where bullets and corpses were everywhere and they really saw the fierceness and cruelty of Ye Tian and Matisse.
At this time, each of them is very sure.
The guy with a big smile in front of them is definitely a cruel and unruly bastard!
He can brazenly fight on Madison Avenue, one of the most prosperous streets in New York and dare to kill his opponents in full view! Then what else does he dare not do? Probably very few things!
If it is not enough to impress his interests, this bastard will 100% take Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man" into his own bag as his personal collection.
The protests of the people, the pressure of media and public opinion and even the pressure of the Polish government, will not have any effect on such a bastard.
The result of doing that may even be counterproductive, completely severing the possibility of getting the famous painting back!
As for the use of extraordinary means to grab and steal, let's forget it!
The bastard in front of them and his gang are so fierce. Unless an army is sent, the rest will only rush to deliver food. There is absolutely no other possibility other than death!
But this is New York, the heart of the United States. It is simply unrealistic to send a large number of armed men here, let alone do something here! How many people can be as crazy and unscrupulous as Steven?
In any case, the relationship should not be frozen, if they want to get back withat famous Raphael painting!
After a few words of greeting, these Poles took their seats separately and they were still sitting opposite each other!
Without a moment's hesitation, Duke Torreschi went straight to the subject as soon as he came up.
"Steven, how can we get back that Raphael "Portrait of a Young Man"? Tell me about your terms, but don't talk about 500 million dollars. It's impossible!
We are just a family museum, not have so much money, even Poland is not a rich country, it is impossible to pay such a huge price for an oil painting!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian pretended to shrug his shoulders helplessly and said:
"It's a pity! It seems that I can only send this famous Raphael painting for auction. Raphael's peak paintings have not appeared in the art market for many years. I don't mind to bring you a surprise.
If it goes up for auction, I'm sure it is definitely the most important auction in the art auction field in the past ten years. It will be an unprecedented grand occasion and the top rich will gather and the auction price of 500 million US dollars will definitely be firmly established!
I will send you an invitation letter, not only to the Czartoryski Museum, but also to the Polish government. I hope you will come by then and compete with the top wealthy people. Perhaps you will be the final winners!"
Before the words were over, Duke Torreschi's expression changed drastically.
He knew very well in his heart that if this Raphael painting was sent to auction as the bastard said before him, he would never can bring it back again.
No matter anyone or museum, as long as this top-level painting is woned, it will never be allowed to flow into the market again, but it will be collected as a heirloom or town hall treasure!
As for participating in the auction, competing with all strength to take this top-class painting is even more unreal!
Of course, he knew very well about his own museum and the situation in his own country. He did not have the capital to compete with the top rich!
As a result, he don't even have to think about it! It must be a loss, completely losing this famous painting!
Unless someone donates! But if the winner was not a top richest man from Poland, what reason the person will have to donate this famous painting to Poland?
"Steven, do you need to do so absolutely? Is there no other workaround?"
Duke Torreschi said in a deep voice, his face was ugly, his eyes spit out fire, but he couldn't happen!
This is what you are waiting for! Wait to be slaughtered!
Ye Tian smiled secretly, then said with difficulty:
"I understand your feelings very much, Mr. Duke, but I am a professional treasure hunter. To me, treasure hunting is a business. When doing business, we must pursue the maximization of profits. This is the golden rule!
There is a workaround. Since you don't have that much money, we can exchange cash and top antique art, as long as the value is equal. This is also a very good way!"
"Tell me about the specific exchange terms, you guys are attracted to those antique artworks! Please state in advance that we are just a family museum and there are not so many top antique artworks, which may not be able to satisfy your appetite!"
Duke Torreschi said with his anger, his eyes were red and his teeth were almost broken with hatred!
Ye Tian shook his head and said with a chuckle:
"Mr. Duke, you are so modest! As far as I know, the Czartoryski Museum can be called one of the oldest and most profound family museums in Europe!
Although you have been hit repeatedly and lost many top antique artworks, the number that is currently intact in the museum is still a huge number!
If I remember correctly, the Czartoryski Museum alone has 86,000 pieces of art, not to mention there are many celebrity manuscripts and precious classics, this part seems to have as many as 250,000 pieces!
The total value of these collections is billions of euros. This is still less. So you just said that the Torreschi family has no money. How could I believe it?"
Duke Torreschi's face changed suddenly and he immediately cursed secretly.
"Damn bastard, it's so insidious to know our home so clearly!"
Seeing the sudden change of the face of the old guy opposite, Ye Tian smiled secretly in his heart.
They want to play crying poorly with him, no play! Honestly wait for the slaughter!
After a short pause, he continued:
"Among the 86,000 artworks at the Czartoryski Museum, there is no shortage of top-notch items, such as Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, "Lady with an Ermine", one of them!
If you are willing to exchange this famous Da Vinci painting, I will raise my hands in agreement. Let's exchange one-to-one. You get Raphael, and I get the Da Vinci. It's fair!"
He hadn't finished speaking yet, the Duke Torreschi on the opposite side had already exploded.
The old man was so angry that his hair was about to stand up, staring at blood-red eyes, and shouted hoarsely:
"That's impossible, it's never possible! Even if I die, no one is allowed to take Leonardo da Vinci's "Lady with an Ermine" out of Poland!
Steven, are you a bastard, a villain! The idea of daring to hit that famous painting, you are definitely the most greedy guy I have ever seen, you are a devil!"
Crazy! The old man was completely mad!
Fortunately, there is a conference table in between, otherwise the old man will definitely punch Ye Tian with a fist.
"Stephen, stop thinking about it, Leonardo da Vinci's "Lady with an Ermine" is a Polish national treasure and it is absolutely impossible to exchange it!"
The deputy curator of the Czartoryski Museum exclaimed, his eyes also spitting out fire.
One of the other Poles was counted as one. At this time, they all stood up and stared at Ye Tian fiercely. Everyone had an expression of gritted teeth with hatred!
