As soon as the video of the treasure discovery appeared on YouTube, it immediately attracted countless attention.
"Treasures in a Manhattan Apartment", seeing this eye-catching name, many people couldn't suppress their curiosity and clicked on this video immediately.
As the video started to play, exclamations suddenly echoed through every network terminal.
Especially those who know these two oil paintings, those who know Paul Cezanne, and those who know Ye Tian, will be completely stunned after watching this video!
Soon, the video comment area and many painting art forums became extremely popular!
"I actually found a treasure at home, two famous paintings by Paul Cézanne! How much are they worth? This guy is definitely the luckiest guy this year!"
"Even without these two famous paintings, Steven is the luckiest guy! He is a professional treasure hunter and has dug up several treasures this year! This is just the icing on the cake!"
“These two oil paintings are probably worth nearly 100 million U.S. dollars! They fell into the hands of one person so easily, which makes people envious to death!”
Compared with the shock caused by online onlookers, this video has a stronger shock effect in the media, museums, oil painting circles, and art collection fields.
Not long after the video was released, an ongoing interview discussion in the New York Times was interrupted by an intern assistant who rushed into the conference room excitedly.
“That guy Steven found another treasure. In his luxury apartment on 110th Street, he found a sandwich wall, and two world-famous paintings emerged from it.
Stephen filmed the excavation process of Paul Cézanne's "Monte Sainte-Victoire" and "The Boy in the Red Vest" and posted them online, which has already caused a sensation! "
The reporters and editing staff who were in the meeting were completely stunned. They stared at the intern assistant who was frothing at the mouth, as if they couldn't believe what they just heard.
Why is it him again? Is the treasure related to him? You can actually find treasures in the apartment! What a joke!
After a moment, several people immediately exploded.
"Oh my god! It's these two oil paintings! It's that **** Steven again! Get ready to go, let's go to 110th Street now, this news is so interesting!"
As soon as the leader reporter gave the order, these people immediately started busy.
Ten minutes later, an interview car rushed out of the office building where the New York Times was located and drove directly to 110th Street north of Central Park at a very fast speed!
Not only was this scene happening in the New York Times, but reporters from almost all New York media drove to 110th Street. Everyone was extremely excited, as if they were the ones who discovered the treasure!
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
The door to the curator's office was knocked open, and the director of the oil painting art department quickly walked in.
"Paul Cézanne's "Monte Sainte-Victoire" and "The Boy in the Red Vest" appeared in New York, right in Manhattan, and in the hands of the same person. The online video has just been released!"
The director of the oil painting department said excitedly that he was almost flying!
""The Boy in the Red Vest"? Isn't it in our exhibition hall? What does it mean to appear again? Is it another one? "The Saint-Victoire Mountain" is another one in the series?"
The curator was a little surprised at first, but then he stood up in shock, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
"Of course it's not the "Youth in Red Vest" painting in the museum. It's the oil painting that has disappeared for 25 years and is leaning against the window with arms akimbo. It's better than the one in our museum.
The same is true for "Monte Saint-Victoire". It is a masterpiece that suddenly appeared in Paris 25 years ago and has been missing since. Unexpectedly, it has been hidden in Manhattan! "
The head of the oil painting department explained quickly, his eyes filled with enthusiasm.
After hearing the explanation, the curator excitedly shook his fist and made a decision instantly.
"Contact the owner immediately. Since this top-notch oil painting appears in New York, right at your doorstep, then we at the Met must get it and we must not miss it!"
"I'm afraid not. As soon as these two oil paintings came out, they were immediately sent to Sotheby's auction house to prepare for the New York autumn auction! Public auction!"
"Then contact Simon at Sotheby's. He must be responsible for these two oil paintings. First confirm the authenticity of the information and the two oil paintings, and then figure out the rest!"
The curator was stunned for a moment and then spoke immediately.
It can be seen that he is obviously a little disappointed.
He knew very well that it was almost impossible for the Met to win these two oil paintings at the New York Autumn Auction!
No matter how rich the museum is, it cannot compare with those billionaires! New York’s autumn auctions have always been a battleground for billionaires, and there’s nothing to do if there’s no one else!
The Museum of Modern Art has also begun to take action. Other New York museums and many high-end galleries are gearing up to acquire these two top oil paintings.
For many museums and galleries, these two oil paintings are treasure-level works of art! Since it appears at your doorstep, how can you miss it?
At this time, many museums in France, as well as the art collection field, the oil painting industry, and even ordinary citizens were also stirred up by this video.
At the Louvre in France, several people are holding an emergency meeting on this matter.
“These two paintings are in the hands of a professional treasure hunter in New York. They were found in the wall of his new apartment. The entire discovery process was videotaped, which has been circulated on the Internet!”
"Damn! It's these Americans again! Go to New York immediately and try to bring these two oil paintings back to Paris and the Louvre. These are French art treasures! They cannot fall into the hands of a bunch of barbaric cowboys! "
"Yes! The Louvre is the most suitable place to display them!"
In the famous painter's village of Montmartre, a suburb of Paris, many painters are also discussing these two oil paintings.
"Pierre should not have taken these two oil paintings to New York, which was a waste of money for that Chinese boy!"
"What a pity! What two perfect masterpieces! They are about to be frantically fought over by those rich **** again! It is simply a blasphemy against art!"
The most regretful and painful thing at this time is the children of the French painter Pierre.
When they saw Ye Tian holding two top-notch oil paintings and firmly declaring that they belonged to him, Pierre and his children felt so regretful that they even wanted to jump into the Atlantic Ocean!
Why didn't you check that apartment carefully? Maybe you just need to check it again, these two oil paintings belong to you, not that hateful Chinese bastard!
But the matter has come to this, and we can only find a way to solve it.
Not long after the video was released, Pierre and his children gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with it.
"Why did dad hide them? He didn't tell us either, now that's it! We got that bastard's advantage in vain and it has nothing to do with us at all!"
"That's a huge fortune of over 100 million US dollars! It must not be robbed by that Chinese bastard. I'm going to New York to recover these two oil paintings!"
"How to pursue it? The apartment already belongs to that bastard, all the procedures have been completed, and we have divided the money. There is absolutely no room for regret.
Whether it is France or the United States, everything in that apartment already belongs to him. There is no dispute. Even if we raise objections, the law does not support it!
It can be seen from the video that this Chinese **** is very deliberate and does everything flawlessly with conclusive evidence. There is no basis for it at all! "
After Pierre's eldest son said this, the room immediately became quiet, and everyone's face was extremely ugly, black and purple!
No one can figure out a way, but everyone’s eyes are full of unwillingness!
Those are two top-notch oil paintings worth nearly 100 million US dollars, or even more! Who else can let go easily? Unless a saint! But Pierre's children are obviously not!
World-famous museums such as the British Museum and the Pompidou Center in France were also shocked by this video and prepared to take action.
The Qatari royal family, which previously spent US$250 million to shoot "The Card Players", also received the news.
They are ready to wave their checkbooks again and acquire these two top oil paintings by Paul Cezanne, adding two more famous works of art to the royal family and improving the royal family's artistic taste.
As for dollars, that's never been a problem! Just like the oil in the ground, you can get as much as you want!
There are also many famous collectors who are equally excited and ready to participate in the competition for these two top works of art.
Suddenly, the European and American art markets were completely stirred by this video and became turbulent!
……
Ye Tian, who was in a Manhattan apartment, had already felt this powerful shock wave.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, reporters were already outside the apartment building, armed with numerous long guns and short cannons, and they were taking photos of the apartment building.
What kind of ultimate luxury is a $55 million mansion? Apart from that sandwiched wall, are there any other hidden spaces in this apartment? Are there any great undiscovered pieces of art?
Every reporter is full of curiosity about Ye Tian's apartment and eager to find out.
In addition to curiosity, feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred also permeated the front of the apartment building.
Top mansions, top sports cars, top works of art, dollars that can never be spent..., this is what we call life!
The reporters were filming wildly outside, and Ye Tian was not idle in the apartment either.
Half an hour after the video was released, his cell phone started ringing non-stop.
The callers came from major museums, well-known collectors, and many high-end galleries in New York. They found out Ye Tian's mobile phone number from somewhere and began to contact him one after another.
These people may get straight to the point or be roundabout, but their ultimate goal is to create two famous paintings! Everyone wants to get them, and the prices offered are quite tempting!
But Ye Tian’s answer is very clear, see you at the New York Autumn Auction! Fair competition, the highest bidder wins!
He wants to eat the biggest piece of cake, so naturally he will not be tempted by the benefit at hand!
Seeing more and more reporters outside, Ye Tian decided to go out and explain a few words to let the reporters disperse as soon as possible to avoid blocking traffic, which would attract complaints from the police and neighbors.
At this time, David had left, and there were only three people left in the apartment, Ye Tian, Betty, and Jennifer.
"Dear! I'm going to deal with the reporters, you stay at home!"
Ye Tian said something to Betty and the others and prepared to go downstairs.
"Dear, stay safe! These reporters are so crazy!"
Betty warned, she was a little worried.
"I know, just some reporters, no threat!"
Ye Tian said easily, and then walked towards the door.
With his current level of close combat, how could these reporters threaten him? And he also has a cz83 inserted in his waist, which is enough to cope with any situation.
Soon, the apartment door opened and Ye Tian walked out.
Seeing him appear, many reporters immediately rushed in and blocked him at the door of the apartment building in a blink of an eye.
The two policemen maintaining order were almost knocked down by the surging crowd. They could only step aside and watch Ye Tian being interviewed, their teeth itching with hatred!
Before the reporters rushed over and stood still, Ye Tian took the lead and said loudly:
"Good afternoon everyone! Thank you for your attention. I know why you are here, but there are too many people today and the place is not suitable, so I will not accept questions.
Let me explain that two oil paintings by Paul Cezanne have been sent to Sotheby's auction house and are not in my apartment. There are no other treasures here.
If you want to know more about the two oil paintings, just watch the video. I will hold a press conference at Sotheby's at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and everyone is invited to attend.
In addition to displaying two oil paintings by Paul Cézanne at the press conference, I will also give some explanations. In addition, my nugget of gold will also be displayed on site tomorrow.
That’s all I have to say. Please pay attention to tomorrow’s press conference. Let’s break up now. So many people have gathered together, which has hindered the traffic a bit.”
After saying that, he immediately opened the door and returned to the apartment building, completely ignoring the reporters behind him asking loud questions.
When he disappeared into the elevator, the reporters could only stop and gradually disperse, waiting for tomorrow's press conference to begin.
Although some reporters kept leaving, more followed.
Not only were there many New York reporters at the scene, but many reporters from New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and other places also rushed over.
In addition, there are also many melon-eating people gathered here. They all came here to watch the excitement after watching the online video about treasure hunting.
Without exception, everyone was enthusiastic and their eyes were red with envy.
These people gathered together in front of the apartment building, discussing two top-notch oil paintings, gold nuggets, and the luxurious apartment building in front of them.
But Ye Tian and the others in the apartment went their own way and were not affected at all by what they were supposed to do.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
A huge Cadillac Escalade bulletproof SUV drove out of the apartment garage and drove directly to Fifth Avenue.
The driver was Ye Tian. He was taking Betty and Jennifer and was about to go out for dinner.
Seeing this Cadillac, the reporters immediately followed. They had already checked out several of Ye Tian's cars.
The police and FBI followed, cursing under their breaths all the way.
