Chương 587: Chapter 587: The Looted Poles
"Gentlemen, stay calm, of course I know that "Lady with an Ermine" is a Polish national treasure, and it will never be exchanged. It is just a metaphor, there is no need to be so angry!"
Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed it down and said with a smile.
When he said this, his expression was quite relaxed, he didn't seem to be half nervous and he obviously didn't take the other party's anger seriously!
Several Poles sat down one after another on the opposite side, but everyone was still angry and there was a possibility of an outbreak at any time.
"Just kidding, don't mind everyone! Now let me talk about my thoughts. Didn't I ask for 500 million US dollars before? The price is not negotiable, but the payment method can be adjusted slightly.
I demand that you have to pay 200 million US dollars in cash. This isn't a hard condition. The remaining 300 million US dollars difference can be replaced by antique works of equal value. Is this kind of flexibility acceptable?"
This is the real condition, Ye Tian began to show his fangs!
"US$200 million in cash! Yes! We can accept this condition. Now let's talk about the top antique artworks that you want to replace the remaining US$300 million!"
Duke Torreschi bit his posterior molars and said, his complexion was extremely ugly!
"Everyone knows that I am a Chinese and I love the antique art of my country. What I am after are the Chinese antique arts in your museum.
For the Czartoryski Museum, you value Western works of art more. Chinese antique works of art are just embellishments, so surely you won't be reluctant?
If you agree, then we can continue to talk; if you don't want to, it's a pity that you can only go to the auction and fight with the top richest people from all over the world!"
Ye Tian chuckled calmly and said, very confident.
He is certain that the Poles will accept this condition. This is their only chance to withdraw "Portrait of a Young Man". How could they give up!
The Czartoryski Museum has a lot of top antique artworks from China, but there are few foreigners who know how to appreciate them and many treasures are kept in the warehouse all the year round to collect dust!
That being the case, how can he let go of this looting opportunity, those treasures should change their owners!
Duke Torreschi looked better and his anger was gradually receding!
Compared to Raphael's famous paintings, those beautiful Chinese antique works of art are really not very important in his eyes and there is nothing to be reluctant!
"Steven, I can accept this condition. Use Chinese antique artworks to cover the remaining US$300 million. Tell me which of those antique artworks you are fond. I hope you will keep your promise and it be of equal value!"
That's it!
Ye Tian smiled softly and immediately began to list the goals he had planned.
"Mr. Duke, don't worry. As everyone knows, I've always been a person who keeps promises. As long as I say, I will keep my word, there is absolutely no reason to deny it!
Let's start with antique porcelain. Your museum has a pair of Chinese Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln plum vases, which I like very much. There is also a Southern Song Longquan kiln jade pot spring vase, which I am also very fond of!
In addition, there are also the Ming Dynasty Xuande blue and white large plate, a pair of Xuande blue and white press cups and a single Chenghua Doucai Gaoshi cup. These porcelains are also included.
Let's talk about calligraphy and painting works, Mi Fu's "Dongting Landscape" in the Northern Song Dynasty, two calligraphy works by Zhao Ji of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, "The Hermit in the East Mountain" by Wang Meng of the Yuan Dynasty and Qiu Ying's meticulous painting album of the Ming Dynasty. That's basically it!"
Duke Torreschi was completely stupid, his eyes widened, staring at Ye Tian, his eyes were almost bursting!
The deputy director of the Czartoryski Museum also had the same expression, his eyes full of madness!
The others are okay, their expressions are relatively normal, because they don't understand the value of these Chinese antique artworks that Ye Tian said!
If they know, he is afraid they would have exclaimed frantically!
After about half a minute, Duke Torreschi woke up.
Immediately afterwards, he sucked in the air, biting his molars and said:
"Steven, you shouldn't be a professional treasure hunter, but a robber. That is the profession that suits you best. Your requirements are simply crazy!
You are planning to sweep away the top Chinese antique artworks in our museum! Each one of these you said is a top antique artwork worth tens of millions of dollars!"
"Wow! They are actually tens of millions of dollars worth, which is too exaggerated!"
There was a cry of exclamation in the conference room, everyone was shocked by Duke Torreschi's words and even shocked by Ye Tian's huge appetite.
"Yes, these traditional Chinese porcelains, calligraphy and paintings are all top antique works of art. I don't deny this. If I don't reach this level, I won't be able to see it!
Their prices are indeed more than tens of millions of dollars, but compared to Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man", that's a far cry! Add up everything, the value is almost equal!
This is my condition, how about it, are you willing to exchange it? If you agree, then this is undoubtedly a happy result and you will soon be able to get that famous painting by Raphael!"
What can the Poles do, they can only accept this result! Who made them run into such a tough and extremely difficult opponent!
"Well! Steven, we accept your terms!"
Duke Torreschi said with a wry smile, with a painful expression on his face.
"That's great! The deal!"
Ye Tian cheered and then shook hands with the other party and formally reached an agreement.
"Deal! You are the most greedy bastard I have ever seen! Even more a nasty robber!"
While shaking hands, Duke Torreschi gave an angry smile and cursed a few words.
"Hahaha, as a business partner, you shouldn't seem to be so slanderous of my reputation and demeanor! Fortunately, I am a broad-minded person and don't care about this!
Here, I want to congratulate you, Mr. Duke and also congratulate all the Polish people. You are about to welcome back the national treasure that has been lost for more than half a century. Congratulations!"
Ye Tian said with a big smile, extremely proud!
"Quickly forget it! We were sent to the door to be ransacked by you, bastard. It's really unlucky! Fortunately, we have also gained something and we didn't make a trip in vain!
Later, I will inform Polish museum staff and ask them to ship those Chinese antique works to New York as soon as possible to trade with you, greedy bastard.
As for the 200 million US dollars, our museum and the Polish government will each bear half of them and we can transfer and pay at any time. Of course, only when we get Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man"!"
Duke Torreschi rolled his eyes and said, his face was not as ugly as before!
For him, the biggest purpose of this trip is to get back that famous painting by Raphael.
As long as this goal can be achieved, it is not unacceptable to pay 200 million US dollars in cash and those top Chinese antique works of art!
"Okay! I believe that within a few days, you will see that Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man"!"
Ye Tian nodded and said with a chuckle.
Next, the two parties discussed the details of the transaction again and the atmosphere was much more friendly than before.
Around four o'clock, these Poles stood up and left the meeting room under Jason's leadership.
Just as they walked out of the meeting room and the door was closed, an extremely excited cheer sounded in the room!
"Awesome! Completely done, we can return to Boston and make a fortune!"
