Capítulo 559: Chapter 559: Mr. Duke
At nine o'clock in the morning, at the east end of 78th Street in Midtown Manhattan, the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company's logistics base.
The elevator door opened, Ye Tian and David came out from inside and walked into the conference room on the fifth floor with a smile. Matisse followed closely behind and followed him.
This was the third day after returning to New York. Everyone retreated. Only Walker and Raymond remained in Boston, continuing to follow Thompson's gang.
On the New York side, monitoring has never slackened.
Kenny and Byrne have been conducting remote monitoring, using their mobile phones to locate information and many pinhole cameras set up by Thompson, staring at his every move!
At the same time, they are always keeping an eye on the situation in the underground palace of the Old North Church, ready to respond at any time.
Fortunately, everything went as usual, no accidents occurred and no news came, indicating that Joey and Brandon were doing a good job of confidentiality and there was no leak for the time being.
After returning to New York, Ye Tian immediately gave everyone a two-day vacation so that everyone could go back to rest and reunite with their families.
Little don't win the newlyweds! He also spent two very sweet days!
Now that the holidays are over, they can start the next step.
The conference room in the logistics base is not big, only 30 or 40 square meters, with a long solid wood conference table and a dozen chairs. There is nothing else, it is quite simple!
Kenny and Byrne are busy in the conference room at this time, debugging the network and the laptop on the table.
Seeing this, Ye Tian didn't bother these two guys, but sat down at the other end of the conference table and chatted with David and the others.
The reason why he came here is to have face-to-face communication with the curators of the museums where the stolen antiques belong to and famous collectors through online video.
He originally planned to send company employees and attorneys to meet these museum curators and famous collectors and invite them to New York to negotiate with him.
However, this will inevitably increase the number of insiders, both inside the company, in law firms and in other links and the possibility of leaks will undoubtedly increase a lot.
It is precisely because of this that he changed to video calling. In addition to better confidentiality, it can also save a lot of costs. Why not?
A few minutes passed quickly, Kenny and the others finished their work, stood up from their seats and said:
"Steven, the network and computer have been debugged and you can make a video call!"
"How is the security? Is there any risk of leaks?"
Ye Tian asked caringly, got up and walked over here.
"Don't worry, Steven, we have repeatedly checked that the computer and the network are very safe, there are no loopholes, no one wants to intrude, in this conference room, there is no possibility of leaking.
We have also done technical processing for the video data you provided. In addition to being burned after watching, it also has multiple encryptions. It is absolutely impossible to be copied and the security is very high!"
Kenny said confidently, barely clapping his chest to make sure.
"That's great, let's start now, it's just the afternoon in Europe, the time is just right!"
Ye Tian nodded in appreciation,and then sat on the chair in front of the laptop.
Immediately afterwards, David walked over and sat beside him. He was a lawyer and must be present.
After finishing the work, Kenny, Byrne and Matisse walked out of the meeting room together and closed the door
After tidying up his coat and adjusting his emotions, Ye Tian moved the mouse to open the chat software.
Then, he clicked on a document on the computer desktop.
The file records the list of contacts to be contacted later, as well as the mobile phone numbers of those contacts, or office phone numbers.
These materials were found by Kenny and the others on the Internet and there is not much difficulty.
Soon, everything is ready and ready to start!
"Steven, are you going to contact which museum first?"
David asked curiously, looking quite excited.
"The Czartoryski Museum, Poland. In the warehouse where antique artworks are hidden, the first top-level artwork I saw was Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man."
This famous painting by a Renaissance artist is a well-deserved Polish national treasure. It disappeared in 1945 when the Second World War ended. The Polish government has been looking for it for decades!
Let's start with this top-level famous painting. I believe it will bring us good luck. If the Poles want to take back this famous national-treasure painting, they must pay a lot of dollars!"
Ye Tian gave the answer with a light smile, his eyes full of confidence.
This is a famous painting that can make a lot of money. He is very sure about this!
Because of World War II, the current ownership of this top-class painting is not clear.
Even the Czartoryski Museum can only say that it was once the owner of this famous painting, but it may not be able to produce strong evidence to prove that this famous painting really belongs to them.
During the war, Poland almost became a pile of ruins and many documents were completely destroyed, including the ownership documents of many antique works of art.
The loss of relevant information makes the Polish government sometimes have to pay large sums of money to repurchase original artworks from Nazi descendants and was looted a second time!
This is Raphael's top painting, which is the case.
If the Czartoryski Museum can't produce real evidence, it can only spend a lot of money to buy it back, there is no other way.
Of course, if the owner is willing to donate for free, that is also a way.
But the unpaid donor can never be Ye Tian. He has no relationship with Poland, so naturally he will not let go of such an opportunity to make a fortune!
"I know this "Portrait of a Young Man", this painting is so famous, it was once Hitler's beloved thing! I didn't expect to hide in Boston and be discovered by you. You guy are so lucky!"
David exclaimed and almost jumped out of his chair excitedly.
"That's right, I am indeed very lucky and at the same time I firmly believe that this famous painting will definitely bring me a lot of wealth!"
Ye Tian said triumphantly and then took out his mobile phone and started making calls.
The bell rang for about seven or eight seconds before the other party answered the phone. A low male voice came immediately, speaking in Polish, which was not understood at all.
Although the language is not clear, everyone understands the meaning of the other party's words.
It's nothing more than the first few lines of the call, hello, name, what's the matter, etc.!
When the other party's voice fell, Ye Tian immediately said in English:
"Good afternoon, Duke Torreschi, take the liberty to interrupt. This is a call from New York, USA. I'm Steven. I have news about Raphael's famous painting "Portrait of a Young Man"!"
After a simple greeting and self-introduction, he immediately threw a blockbuster to bomb the other party's ears.
If it is late, the other party may think this is a harassing call and hang up directly.
The other end of the phone was quiet, obviously, the old man on the opposite side was stunned!
After a short pause, there was an almost crazy exclamation from the other end of the phone, followed by a series of strange Polish English with serial tone.
"My God! You have news about "Portrait of a Young Man", true or false? Where is that oil painting now? Who are you? How do you know my phone number?..."
A lot of questions were bombarded directly and it sounded a little incoherent.
The excitement of Duke Torreschi is almost out of control!
