Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Stormy
For Ye Tian, isn't not a blessing to discover Greco's peak work in Colombia?
Fortunately, there is Titian's "Landscape of Venice" here.
The works of the master and apprentice appeared in the same place, in an ordinary home in Cartagena, Colombia, and they are so well preserved. It is a miracle!
Without even thinking about it, these two top artworks, like the Malaga Princess treasure map, are heirlooms from Silva's ancestors.
It's just that Titian's "Landscape of Venice" fell into the hands of Uncle Silva, and the treasure map and Greco's oil painting remained in Silva's house.
But for some reason, they did not know anything about the valuable Titian painting, thinking that it was the work of an unknown Italian painter and was not worth a few dollars at all.
As for Greco's works, they obviously know more, so Silva will carefully hide it.
There is only one reason for this difference, and that is the signature on the oil painting.
The Spanish signatures on Greco's paintings are clearly visible, but there are no signatures or marks on Titian's paintings. Ordinary people, or even less advanced experts, may not be able to recognize the origin of the oil painting.
When asking Silva questions, Ye Tian thought of these possibilities.
And the facts are just as he expected!
Silva did not hide, and quickly gave the answer.
"Jack, your vision is very sharp! Admirable! That's right, this oil painting is indeed the work of the famous Spanish painter Greco, it is a fantasy Mannerist oil painting.
Like that treasure map, this top-level artwork was handed down by my ancestors. It has been preserved in our house for two to three hundred years and has never left this house!"
"It's actually from the ancestors! Your ancestors are so insightful, and what you leave to future generations are precious treasures of extraordinary value, which is simply too enviable!
If I am not mistaken, the real target of those gangsters outside should not be the treasure map of the Malaga Princess, but this top oil painting, right?"
Ye Tian sighed a few words first, then pointed at the door and said with a chuckle.
Accompanied by the roar of the motorcycle engine, the impact on the door side became more and more violent, and the heavy iron door was already crumbling.
Ye Tian didn't even see this imminent threat, and his attention was now on the top oil painting in front of him.
This kind of calm performance also affected Silva unknowingly, making him no longer so scared!
Silva looked at the door, then nodded with a wry smile and said:
"Yes, those bastards came for this top oil painting. Not long ago, I was drinking at a nearby bar. When I drank too much and bragged with others, I accidentally revealed information about this painting.
Those words somehow reached the ears of those gangsters, and within a few days, trouble came to the door! The bastards focused on this famous painting and began to monitor me 24 hours a day.
Fortunately, this painting is hidden, so it was not stolen by the bastards, and I didn't dare to take it out. Once it appeared, the bastards would probably start immediately!"
"For the Colombian gang that started from drug trafficking, top art is definitely the best money laundering tool. Now that they know the existence of this oil painting, how can they let you go?
Haven't you thought about sending this oil painting for auction? In my experience, this oil painting should be able to be sold at a very good price, or through the power of the government to protect its legitimate rights and interests?"
"This is Colombia, not the United States. Kidnapping is common here. It happens almost every day. How dare I send this oil painting to auction in Colombia!
I'm afraid that when just enter the auction house on the front foot, and my family on the back foot fell into the hands of the kidnappers. They only need to wait for the auction money to arrive in the account. In this case, I dare not to take risks there!
The government is even more untrustworthy, expecting them to protect? That is pure dreaming! It's not that I slander them. Some people in the government are probably more cruel than those gangsters.
If it falls into their hands, I may not get a penny, and I may be thrown into jail for a random charge, and then I will die in it!
It is rare to see such top-level artworks in Colombia. It would included in the list of restricted departures. Don't even want to take it out through normal channels. If it is found by the customs, it will be completely finished!
Once this oil painting surfaced, even if it was not snatched by the gang, the Colombian government would quickly come to the door and mobilize or threaten me to donate it. What can I get?"
"You're right! At this point, the Colombian government is indeed more rogue. The San Jose shipwreck is a living example! The exploration company that found the shipwreck did not get a share!"
Ye Tian sighed with emotion and sympathized with Silva.
But sympathy returned to sympathy, but it did not affect his determination to win this top oil painting.
"Silva, I really like this oil painting. Can you transfer it to me? If you can, then you can ask a price, and if it is reasonable, we will trade it right away! Check or transfer at your choice.
One thing I must tell you is that we can take you out of Colombia, but you can't run around with this top oil painting. That is too dangerous! You should understand the truth of the crime!
Another point is that no matter which country you plan to go to, as long as you go through legal channels, customs inspection is unavoidable. With such a top art artwork, you may find it difficult to pass the customs!
In case you are detained and you can't provide any definitive proof of owning this painting, there are only two results. This thing will either be confiscated or sent back to Colombia! It must have nothing to do with you!"
"call--!"
Silva sighed secretly, at least don't worry about buying or selling.
Then, he fell into thinking again.
He also knew in his heart that Jack was right.
In his current situation, he absolutely cannot take this top-level famous painting to walk in the market. It is tantamount to a three-year-old kid walking on the street with a huge diamond, purely looking for death!
This famous painting must be disposed of as soon as possible, only the money in the pocket is the most practical! The rest are fake!
But what to do with this oil painting? What is the appropriate price? Who should be dealt with? He has no clue at all!
After pondering for a moment, Silva said slightly nervously:
"Jack, let me think about it, for a while I can't make up my mind!"
"Okay, you can think about it, there is still time, I look forward to hearing the best answer! Put away this oil painting, we should leave now!"
With that said, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the drawing tube on the coffee table and carried it on his back.
The black backpack that was originally on his back was moved to his chest by him.
He has an extra g36c assault rifle in his hand, and the bullet has been loaded! He can fire at any time!
"Ok!"
Silva nodded in response, and immediately began to roll up the oil painting on the coffee table, fast!
At this moment, a loud sound suddenly came from the direction of the door.
"boom!"
The iron gate was knocked open by two off-road motorcycles, and the battle began!
"Boom boom..."
Several g36c inside the door suddenly began to spray flames, and the dense gunfire shocked the entire ancient city like a storm!
The moment the iron door was opened, the gangsters outside the door immediately rushed in with their pistols, and everyone was scrambling to get ahead! Eyes full of fierce light!
But how they could that there were several assault rifles waiting for them behind the iron gate.
Before they walked into the door, they saw four muzzles that sprayed flames.
Despair and fear swallowed everyone in an instant.
Bullets flooded like a rainstorm!
