It's five thirty in the afternoon.
Ye Tian got up and sent the last group of visitors out of the meeting room, ready to let Jason take them to the elevator.
These visitors are from Japan and they are kind of annoying.
As soon as he walked out of the conference room, the head of the Tokyo National Museum curator immediately turned around, bowed to Ye Tian again and said in a very respectful manner:
"Mr. Steven, please! Please be sure to help us get back the two masterpieces of the great master of Kogawa Hiroshima, "Toritajuku" and "Kinganijuku", which are our Japan's national treasures and must not be lost.
In return, I can give to Mr. Steven, the picture of the famous Southern Song Dynasty painter Ma Yuan's "Across the Water in the Cave", to thank you for your generosity and kindness.
In addition, the four paintings you requested by 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, I will notify the museum immediately and ship them to New York as soon as possible! Ready to deliver at any time!"
Immediately after the curator of the museum, one of the other Japanese present at the scene counted as one and they all bowed to Ye Tian ninety degrees and shouted in unison very respectfully:
"Please, Mr. Steven, thank you!"
Seeing this situation, everyone else inside and outside the conference room couldn't help feeling a little dumbfounded.
This group of Japanese is too much, right? With such a large bow, and with such a strong momentum, they are not afraid of being slumped!
As the person involved, Ye Tian smiled and calmly enjoyed the other party's gift, without showing any embarrassment!
"The two paintings of Ge Chuan Hiroshige must of course be returned to you. I don't have a hobby of collecting those shattered paintings. What's more, I can get back four top ancient Chinese paintings. What a cost-effective business, why not?
But there is one thing, I must say sorry in advance. The aura contained in these two so-called Japanese national treasure paintings, I can only half laughed, I hope you don't mind!"
Of course, these are Ye Tian's inner thoughts, it is impossible to say them.
"Don't worry, Mr. Suzuki, you will definitely see the two Japanese national treasures with your own eyes and bring them back to Japan smoothly and re-display them in the exhibition hall of the Tokyo National Museum!
Taking advantage of these two days of free time, you can enjoy the scenery of New York and see how it is different from Tokyo! All right! That's it for today, everyone, please go back!"
Ye Tian said politely, with a big smile on his face.
"We will go to enjoy the scenery of New York, thank you, Mr. Steven, goodbye!"
Suzuki straightened up and said, still very polite and respectful.
The performance of the other Japanese is the same, as if carved out of a mold.
In the eyes of others at the scene, the performance of these Japanese is almost nothing to say!
But in Ye Tian's eyes, this kind of politeness has a servile taste, fake! It feels uncomfortable!
Afterwards, Jason took these Japanese people to the elevator and Ye Tian returned to the meeting room.
Sending these Japanese to the elevator, Jason left and returned to the company.
When he left, a Japanese immediately said angrily:
"Curator Suzuki, is the price we paid not too high? Those few famous ancient Chinese paintings are rare top art works, so they were looted by this bastard? Are you unwilling!"
"Who can be willing? I am the same, but what can I do? We have learned before coming here. This is a cruel bastard who doesn't eat at all!
Didn't you see how he dealt with the Germans? Just as cruel and merciless! How can we be an exception? Admit it, as long as we can take back two paintings by Ge Chuan Grand Master, it will be worth it! "
Suzuki said frustratedly, with a painful expression on his face.
Upon hearing this, the other Japanese were speechless.
Correct! What can they do if they don't admit it?
"Ding!"
The elevator is coming.
Several Japanese walked into the elevator one after another, ready to go downstairs!
At the moment the elevator closed, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of a Japanese with his head down!
Conference room.
"Everyone has worked hard! All of the museum curators and collectors listed on the list, we have completed contact, conducted fruitful exchanges and reached an oral agreement!
If there is no major change, in the next one or two days, we should be able to sign the contract and then we will return to Boston to pick up the stolen top antique works of art and make a fortune!"
Ye Tian looked at the few people present and said with a triumphant smile.
As soon as the voice fell, there was a cheer on the scene.
"Awesome! I love this treasure hunt!"
"What a fortune is that I can hardly imagine!"
When the cheers fell slightly, Ye Tian's voice immediately sounded again.
"Guys, success is here and a lot of wealth is within reach! But the more we get to this time, the more we must be cautious and we must not make mistakes, so as to avoid being beaten up and happy!
Everyone must also stay at the logistics base. Anyone going out or in contact with the outside world must be accompanied by someone and they are never allowed to act alone! All activities such as calling and surfing the Internet are no exception!
This is in the interests of everyone, no matter how careful you are, I hope everyone understands, even if you don't understand, you must implement it! Everyone stays for a few more days and the sun will be shining in a few days!"
"Oh my God! I have to suffer for a few more days! This kind of life is too painful, I almost forget what Sophie looks like and if this continues, I will become an ascetic!"
Jason sighed loudly, his expression looked very painful and exaggerated!
But there was a glow of excitement in his eyes.
"Short-term abstinence is not a bad thing. Maybe it will make you more harmonious. When this is over, everyone can take turns on vacation. Even if you dies on Sophie's belly, we won't stop it!"
Ye Tian said jokingly, teasing Boring with Jason.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
Next, everyone started to pack their things and was ready to return to the 78th Street Logistics Base.
Ye Tian left the meeting room and walked to Betty's office.
He didn't go far before he entered the office area.
Seeing him coming, all the employees stood up excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, a lot of questions flooded in and the momentum made Ye Tian a little caught off guard!
"Boss, our company has been so lively these two days. There are so many people coming and going and they come from all over the world, among them there are many celebrities in the field of antique art collection!
What are you doing? It's such a big scene and it's so mysterious, without revealing anything, can you tell everyone about it? We are all very curious and want to know exactly!"
"Yes, boss, tell everyone! I have seen several heavyweights from the Louvre, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum and MOMA in the past two days!
I really can't imagine what kind of major event would have allowed these industry leaders to come to our company one after another. This is really an exaggeration! It's incredible!"
Up to this moment, the employees of these companies did not know about the Boston treasure hunt. They only knew that Ye Tian took Jason and they had been busy, as if they were planning something and they knew nothing about it!
This is what Ye Tian did deliberately. It is almost impossible to expect so many employees of the company to keep secrets!
Therefore, the best way is to hide it from them until the moment of the official showdown.
For the company's employees' questions, Ye Tian answered selectively.
"Yes, I am indeed planning a treasure hunt. The people who came here in the past two days are all here to discuss cooperation. What you see is also very accurate. Many of them are indeed big players in the industry!
But I'm very sorry, I can't tell you the specific content for the time being, this treasure hunt is still in the confidential stage and the information cannot be leaked. I hope everyone can keep it confidential!
However, I can reveal some information in advance. Maybe within a few days, everyone will know the specific content of this treasure hunt and also understand what our company's goal is.
By then, everyone will be very busy and there are many things to do. I can guarantee that everyone will be rewarded with every contribution and each of you will get a surprise!"
"Wow! That's great! We look forward to this surprise!"
There was a cheer on the scene again, and everyone was very excited.
"OK! It's close to get off work soon, everyone pack your things and get ready to go home. I wish you all a pleasant evening. Remember! Be sure to keep it secret!"
After speaking, Ye Tian quickly walked through the office area and walked into Betty's office.
Many employees of the company discussed a few words and then began to pack their things and prepare to go back to each house.
In the office.
Betty, wearing a top-level professional suit, was busy with her head down at this time, very focused and did not notice the changes in her surroundings at all.
Ye Tian didn't let the secretary report and walked in quietly.
Between two or three steps, he has walked to the desk, smiling at the busy Betty, eyes full of love.
He didn't say aloud until Betty put down the pen in his hand:
"My dear, are you done?"
Suddenly hearing his voice, Betty couldn't help being taken aback and suddenly looked up.
Immediately afterwards, she left the chair and came to Ye Tian's side.
"My dear, when did you come in? You didn't say hello and it scared me. I'm busy with this matter. How is your situation there? Is it done?"
"It's all done! Now just wait for the contract to be signed and then we can have the final showdown!"
Ye Tian said triumphantly, his tone very confident and excited.
"That's great! I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"
Betty cheered directly, looking very excited.
"It's very smooth indeed. Let's not talk about it. Now it's time for get off work. Pack your things and go! I plan to go to the 78th Street and have a look. Come with me?"
"I'm afraid not, I'm going to Sotheby's auction house to talk about the settlement of the auction money. I have already made an appointment with someone! It's not good to miss an appointment!"
"Okay, you go to work, call me when you're done, I'll go to find you and be safe on the way!"
"Okay, I'll contact you as soon as I'm done!"
Betty nodded and kissed Ye Tian lightly.
After a few more chats, Ye Tian turned around and left the office to meet Jason and the others!
