The British guys who entered the meeting room also came empty-handed.
Like the Dutch before them, their solution to the problem is to spend money, and the amount is very generous!
Who makes them of the top museums in the world! The background is deep, and it is almost endless.
Even if Ye Tian took half of the stolen antique artworks, these guys would not frown.
In addition, there is another reason, is that those stolen antique artworks are not the top quality goods.
In particular, the 15 Chinese antique works of art stolen in 2004 were all small antiques such as hosta, earrings, hairpins and finger cots. Although each piece is a fine product, its market value is indeed not very high!
The only thing that bothered these guys was the two top oil paintings stolen from the Modern European Pavilion.
One is the masterpiece of Cubist master Brack, "Aria de Bach"; the other is the masterpiece of abstract expressionist master Kandinsky, "The Emphasis is on the Horn, Improvisation No. 247".
It was these two top famous paintings that made these British guys come to New York and then to Boston!
After a few polite greetings at the door, two appraisal experts from the British Museum got up to appraise the two top famous paintings.
Ye Tian chatted with Bryan, who was sitting opposite, but the content of the conversation had nothing to do with the antique works of art in the conference room, and it had nothing to do with money.
"Mr. Bryan, why didn't I see the two Scotland Yard secret police last time? I need to ask them for some advice!"
When saying this, Ye Tian's face was full of smiles, but his tone was very cold.
After investigating for this period of time, it is now basically certain that the gang of idiots who were killed by them on Madison Avenue were send by the two Scottish Yard secret police.
Although the identities of those idiots have not yet been determined, they are nothing more than the intelligence personnel of Scotland Yard stationed in New York, or the intelligence personnel of a certain commercial intelligence agency.
As for whether it is an agent of MI5 and MI6, it doesn't need to be considered.
If the British guy's James Bond is only at that level, it is estimated that this broken country will soon be over!
The purpose of their attempt to kidnap Betty, of course, could not be more clear, that is to come from the art crime syndicate in Boston and the theft of a large number of top antique artworks!
This group of bastards from the UK may have the ambition to monopolize this batch of stolen top antique works of art!
Don't look at the English guys on the surface, they may be gentle, but they do dirty things secretly, no less than anyone else!
This can be seen from the British Museum.
How many of the collections in this world's top museum are clean? He is afraid there are not many!
In addition to the two secret police officers of Scotland Yard, the old British man in front of him is probably involved. It is very likely that he was also involved in the kidnapping plot because they have this tradition!
It's a pity that there is no direct evidence. The two Scotland Yard secret police have already left New York. For the time being, there is nothing wrong with these guys!
But it doesn't matter, as the saying goes, it's not that the time has not come!
Don't they came to New York, can't he go to London? They want to run, but there are no doors!
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Brian's face suddenly changed, and a bit of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
But after all, this old fox is a battle-tested old fox, and his expression has returned to normal in a blink of an eye.
"You ask the two Scotland Yard secret police! They went back to the UK ahead of time because of something. They didn't come to Boston with us. What you want with them? Can you tell me? I can tell them for you!"
Brian said calmly, with an old-fashioned look.
"That's a shame! I did find something to do with them, but let me tell you that, maybe I will go to London some day, and then I will find them myself! Maybe we will become good friends!"
Ye Tian said with a light smile, his tone was still cold, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he didn't deliberately conceal it!
"Fuck! This bastard must have found something!"
Brian cursed secretly, but his face was filled with a bright smile.
"Okay! Steven, if you come to London, you must remember to inform me, I can receive you as the host!"
While saying this, Brian couldn't help thinking of the bloody massacre on Madison Avenue, and a chill immediately surged in his heart! His back is also a bit cold!
Inform him? Unless his head hit the wall, he will inform this old fellow, he hasn't lived enough yet!
Ye Tian murmured a few words secretly, and then brought the topic to these antique artworks indoors.
When the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, Joey next to him kept listening, without letting go of a word.
When this conversation ended, he immediately drew several conclusions.
The bloody fight on Madison Avenue is definitely related to the British!
And he is very sure that these British guys are going to be unlucky! With bastard Steven style of doing things, he will pay him back and never lose out, how could he let these British guys go?
The final conclusion is that the two guys in front of him are basically two foxes, one old and one small. They are very cunning and very dangerous. It is better to stay away!
Although there are many idiots in this world, Joey is definitely not one of them!
On the contrary, this is a very smart guy who knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages! Checking the situation!
A few minutes later, the two British Museum appraisal experts completed the appraisal and sat back in their seats.
The transaction has officially started!
There is no bargaining for this transaction, and everything is carried out in accordance with the pre-signed contract.
Soon, Ye Tian received fifteen Chinese antique works of art and a large sum of cash. The British guy on the opposite side also got his wish and got back two top famous paintings. It is a great joy for everyone!
"Mr. Bryan, happy cooperation! Enjoy this beautiful evening!"
Ye Tian sent these British guys to the door of the temporary meeting room, and shook hands with everyone, showing impeccable performance!
"I will! Steven, this is indeed a wonderful night! Remember what I said just now, you must contact me when you come to London!"
Bryan also smiled very brightly, and his face was full of joy of harvest.
But in the eyes of others, their friendly actions are completely different.
"Fuck! They is the two movie kings! It would be too loss not to go to Hollywood!"
Joey, who was watching coldly, murmured to himself, as did the others.
...
After the Brit left, the remaining art dealer walked into the meeting room!
The transaction was completed quickly!
The task of this agent is to send a check from the employer, and then get back the stolen famous painting of the billionaire employer. Everything is OK! The commission is extremely easy to earn! Ye Tian was envious!
Next are two museums, one from Italy and one from Brazil.
For them, Ye Tian naturally did not have the slightest need to be polite, and slaughtered the two museums severely.
When leaving this conference room, the two museum directors were basically in the same mood.
Pain and happiness!
Then, who walked into the conference room were visitors from the penultimate museum, led by Suzuki, the director of the Tokyo National Museum, Japan, a total of six people!
As before, as soon as he walked into the meeting room, Director Suzuki immediately bowed at a ninety degree, and his waist was about to buckle!
"Good evening, Mr. Steven, thank you!"
The rest of the Japanese people all learned everything. They all bowed at ninety degrees and greeted them loudly and uniformly. They looked very polite, but they felt very awkward!
"Hello, Mr. Suzuki, please take a seat! The other gentlemen are the same, please take a seat!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, raised his hand and gestured across the conference table.
Several Japanese people put down their ancient Chinese paintings and sat down one after another.
After a few chats, Suzuki said impatiently:
"Mr. Steven, let's start trading. We want to get back as soon as possible the two masterpieces of the great master of Utagawa Hiroshima, "Toritajuku" and "Kinganijuku". Please also understand our urgency.
In addition to the famous Southern Song Dynasty painter Ma Yuan's "Dongshan Crossing Water Map", we have brought you the four paintings of Dong Yuan of the Five Dynasties of China, Fan Kuan of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty, and Shen Zhou of the Ming Dynasty that you named!
These four famous ancient Chinese paintings are from the collection of Chinese art in Tokyo National Museum. Each of them is a rare top-level artwork. The artistic value is extraordinary and the preservation condition is also very good!"
"That's great! Let me appraise it first! As long as we are sure that these four paintings are genuine, we can start trading, and you will get your wish!"
After speaking, Ye Tian got up and walked to the end of the conference table, and began to identify the four top ancient Chinese paintings!
As for the authenticity of these four famous ancient Chinese paintings, when he entered this banquet hall at seven o'clock, he was already confident, and now it is just acting!
Without exception, these four famous paintings are all authentic, and the Japanese devils in front of him don't play any tricks, they are fairly honest!
But being honest does not mean that them will not be bad people!
I'm really sorry, devil! Your respectable spirits in the paintings of Utagawa Hiroshima Grand Master, he have already laughed at half of it!
Although they don't see anything wrong now, the lifespan of these two paintings has been shortened by half, and the paper, paint, etc. are all ageing a lot!
So, they must take good care of it when they collect it!
If these two paintings are suddenly destroyed some day, don't blame me! Who made you devils! He look upset!
"These four paintings are really authentic. I like them very much and I am very satisfied!"
Ye Tian gave the appraisal conclusion deliberately, with joy on his face.
The play is over! The performance is superb!
The next thing is completely mechanical repetition, reviewing the contract, signing each other, shaking hands with each other, and completing the transaction!
When leaving the meeting room, the Japanese, headed by Suzuki, all smiled brilliantly, and they almost couldn't find the North!
But how did they know that the two so-called masterpieces they held in their hands had long been misleading, and the inside was even more scarred!
...
The last ones who walked into this temporary meeting room were a few old acquaintances.
Curator Julian of MOMA, and several famous antique art appraisal experts from New York.
Julian joked as soon as he entered the meeting room.
"Steven, you are so cruel, why do you put our MOMA at the end? I would already gone to bed and fell asleep at this time! It's okay now, I have to stay here!
Should you compensate us? How about transferring two top famous paintings to MOMA? I know, you guy has got a lot of top stuff!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian replied jokingly:
"Julian, you should come from Boston with us. When we get back to New York, we can just go directly to our company! We are so close, it takes less than fifteen minutes to walk!
Besides, our Brave and Fearless Exploration Company is in the Rockefeller Center, which is the site of your big boss and the Rockefeller family. Wouldn't you be more comfortable there?
It is not impossible to transfer a few top art works to MOMA, but the price should be negotiated carefully. I still recommend that you prepare your funds and bid at auctions. It is fair, isn't it?"
"You are such an extremely greedy guy, I knew it was the answer. Wanting to take advantage of you is just wishful thinking! Nothing at all!"
Julian said angrily, eyes full of envy.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the meeting room, very hearty!
