Upstairs, the room where the old vault is located.
Ye Tian opened the door of the thick and strong vault and walked in alone, preparing to take out the several pieces of heavyweight antique art that were about to be auctioned and take them downstairs for appraisal by Sotheby's experts.
By the way, let them open their eyes and shock these professionals!
Even at top auction houses like Sotheby's in New York, top-notch artworks like Pollock paintings are not common! It’s pretty good to come across a few a year!
In order to avoid suspicion, Jason did not enter the room, but waited outside the door, waiting for Ye Tian to open the door again and wave him in.
Soon, Ye Tian took out the pieces of antique art, placed them on the table in the room, and closed the vault door again.
Then he reached out and pulled the door hard to confirm that it was closed! A few more quick turns of the mechanical combination lock completely disrupted the code and ensured the safety of the vault.
All actions are very careful and cautious! Meticulous!
After doing this, he opened the door and let Jason in.
“Jason, you take these two paintings, I’ll take the Portland vase, and we’ll go downstairs together to impress those Sotheby’s appraisal experts!”
Looking at the three objects on the table, Jason asked curiously:
"Steven, I understand that these two paintings are top-notch works of art. One is a work by Guayasamin, the 'Picasso of South America', and the other is a work by Pollock. They must be of extraordinary value!
But what value could this Portland vase have? Is it also a top-notch antique? As far as I know, the real Portland vase has been in the British Museum, so there’s no way it’s authentic!
We all know that the Portland Vase is unique, but how can a Wickedwood replica compare to Pollock? I don't understand why you attach so much importance to it! "
Not only Jason has this question, but probably everyone except Ye Tian is confused about it and doesn’t understand the value of this Portland vase!
But they didn’t question it. As long as Steven said it was a top-notch antique work of art, they would definitely not run away! This vase is certainly a top-notch antique!
Everyone is extremely sure of this, because Steven has never seen anything wrong before, and this time is no exception!
Before, Ye Tian never explained the matter about the Portland vase, and now, he doesn't plan to explain it either!
"Jason, who said reproductions are not valuable? The value of this Portland vase is not necessarily lower than that of Pollock's painting, or even more!
As for the specific situation of this vase, I will give an explanation later, which is enough to clear up the doubts in your mind. Go downstairs, the guys downstairs are probably already looking forward to seeing it! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, an unpredictable smile on his face.
"Okay! Let's go downstairs, I'm really looking forward to the moment when the answer is revealed!"
Jason nodded in response and glanced at the Portland vase again, his eyes still full of curiosity.
Then the two walked out of the vault room and went downstairs with three top-quality antiques and artworks!
This does not include General Sherman’s march notes. At this time, those notes are still vacuum-packed and placed in a safe in the vault!
As for how to deal with this note, Ye Tian has not yet come up with a perfect solution. He has not thought about how to squeeze the maximum value of this note and bring the greatest benefit to himself.
Therefore, he does not intend to send this note for auction for the time being, but plans to keep it in his own hands and slowly consider how to deal with it.
Of course, if he does this, many people will be very disappointed and even more itchy!
But who are they? Why does Ye Tian care? Love so and so!
In the eyes of everyone's eager anticipation, Ye Tian and Jason appeared in front of everyone again, holding in their hands several top-notch works of art that everyone had longed for and wanted to see their true appearance.
Like Jason and the others, all the appraisal experts present were stunned when they saw the Portland vase in Ye Tian's hand, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Why is Steven carrying a Portland vase? Is this a top-notch antique piece of art? How can it be?
Everyone knew clearly that it was definitely a replica! If it were a real Roman Portland vase, it would definitely be a sensation all over the world and be worth five to six billion U.S. dollars!
Why does Steven value a replica so much? Did this guy make a mistake? This possibility is so small that it is almost impossible to happen! Who has ever heard of this guy passing by?
In an instant, everyone’s heads were filled with questions and curiosity!
“Ladies and gentlemen, these are the top antique works of art that everyone is eager to see. I am going to put them up for auction. There are three pieces in total, one vase and two paintings!
Please come with me and enjoy these antique works of art together. Then you can start to appraise them and give your most professional and authoritative appraisal opinions and conclusions.
I believe you will be able to get surprises and enjoy the unique charm of these top-notch works of art. I hope you can also surprise me and give me the most beautiful answers I want! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, his words full of confidence.
Then he carried the vase into the restaurant, where there was a huge solid wood dining table, which was undoubtedly the best place for display!
Many Sotheby’s experts came over, excited and curious!
Going to stand in front of the dining table, Ye Tian immediately said to Jason:
"Jason, please wait aside with these two paintings. I am going to show the Portland vase first to clear up everyone's doubts and prevent everyone from being tortured by curiosity!"
"Okay!"
Jason nodded in response, stepped aside, and looked at the Portland vase curiously.
The rest of the people present are also looking forward to the answer!
Ye Tian did not start the display immediately, but continued to arrange it.
"Walker, Raymond, the answer will be revealed soon. Everyone may be more excited and may make larger body movements to damage the vase!
All the two of you have to do is protect this Portland vase, don’t let too many people get close to it at the same time, only allow two people to visit it at a time, queue up to admire it, there is no room for error! "
"Okay! Steven, we know what to do!"
Walker and Raymond responded in unison, then walked to the dining table and stood ready to perform the task.
Because they had to **** antique artworks to Sotheby's later, Matisse and his team were fully armed, wearing body armor and holding automatic rifles.
At this moment, Walker and Raymond stood at the table with automatic rifles and murderous intent. The air in the entire restaurant suddenly solidified, and the temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees!
“Hiss——!”
Seeing this scene, many appraisal experts couldn’t help but take a breath! He stared at Ye Tian in stunned silence, at Walker and Raymond holding rifles, and at the Portland vase!
As for such a big fanfare? Too exaggerated? Is that Portland vase really a top treasure?
After a pause, Ye Tian said loudly into the living room:
"Anderson, bring over the detection tools I prepared and my laptop. I want to give you a live demonstration"
"Okay! Here we go!"
Anderson responded, then came to the restaurant with several pieces of equipment and a laptop, and handed them to Ye Tian.
This is an endoscope with its own display screen and two cameras with cranks.
Endoscopes are very common in hospitals and are mainly used to examine the internal conditions of the human body. They are a very important medical device.
But it is not only used in the medical field, it is also a very important tool in the field of antique identification!
Especially when appraising antique porcelain, it plays an important role. As long as there is an expert in appraising antique porcelain, almost everyone has one!
It can be used to check the internal conditions of vases and other utensils, and check whether there are any hidden secrets, cracks, special marks, traces of forgery, etc. It is very useful!
This is the purpose of the set of endoscopes that Anderson brought over. Ye Tian plans to use it to show the inside of the Portland vase and reveal the answer to everyone!
The two cameras with cranks also serve this purpose. Using them, you can clearly display the situation inside the vase on your laptop and in front of everyone!
After taking the equipment and checking it a little, Ye Tian then smiled and said to everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, what follows is a set of fascinating images that reveal the secrets of this Portland vase. You must be eager to know the answer! Stay tuned!"
As he spoke, he picked up the endoscope and carefully inserted the probe into the mouth of the Portland vase.
The eyes of all the appraisal experts on site were fixed on the surveillance screen of the endoscope, and every pair of eyes was full of expectation and curiosity
