Half an hour later, the complete confidentiality agreement was released.
After repeated review and confirmation that there were no problems, Ye Tiancai approved the confidentiality agreement and sent it to everyone in the suite for everyone to read and sign.
The scope of confidentiality stipulated in this agreement covers everything related to the Boston treasure hunt, including later negotiations with the FBI, museums and collectors, until it is completely completed!
Even if the matter is completely over, certain details of this treasure hunt are still not allowed to be leaked.
Such as tracking and surveillance, eavesdropping, disguise modification, and how to sneak into the Old North Church, etc. This is to avoid unnecessary troubles.
While delineating the scope of confidentiality, it also clarified the punitive measures for violating the agreement, from suspension of bonuses, to dismissal, to going to court. The punitive measures are not unsevere and have great deterrence!
Everyone in the suite quickly signed a confidentiality agreement. Even Walker, Raymond, Kenny and Byrne who stayed in the temporary apartment signed the agreement under the witness of David's video screen.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian signed a lawyer's agency contract with David, specifically for this treasure hunt, and it was signed in the blink of an eye.
At this point, the legal formalities have been basically completed.
Ye Tian successfully built a firewall in front of him, making himself more invulnerable and easier to act!
Next, it’s time to knock on the door of the FBI Art Crime Team, as well as the museums that are preparing to make the first wave of contact, the Gardner Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the William Fogg Museum of Harvard University!
These three museums have stolen top-notch antiques and artworks in the underground palace. Since we are in Boston, the first people to come into contact with are naturally them, right next to the water!
After putting away the signed confidentiality agreement and agency contract, Ye Tian stood up, took his notebook over, opened it and placed it on the coffee table.
"Guys, come and take a look at this video material. I am going to show this video to the FBI Art Crime Unit and several related museums later, so everyone can have a sneak peek!"
As he spoke, he took out a small USB flash drive from his pocket, plugged it into the computer, selected an edited video and started playing it.
David, several assistants, and Matisse gathered around and began to enjoy the video. Everyone was very excited and curious!
Except for Ye Tian, no one else in the suite had seen the video taken in the underground palace, so they were naturally full of expectations.
The video started to play, and Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee" appeared on the computer screen, and the picture was very clear.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian's voice came from the computer, and the most professional explanation and appraisal opinions followed.
"Look, everyone, this is the greatest painter in Europe in the seventeenth century..."
The explanation of "Storm on the Sea of Galilee" ended quickly. The scene changed and the next famous painting immediately appeared on the computer screen. It was Rembrandt again, this time it was his self-portrait!
At the same time, Ye Tian's voice sounded in everyone's ears again, and it was still a very professional explanation and appraisal.
While watching these video materials and appreciating top-notch artworks, the suite was filled with exclamations of exclamation. Every voice was filled with joy and excitement!
The 13 top-notch works of art stolen from the Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990 were displayed on the computer screen one by one. There were not many of them, and they were all in perfect condition!
When the video finished playing, there was a sigh of relief in the suite.
"It's so beautiful! It is indeed a work of the top art master, and it is truly worthy of its reputation! No wonder the Gardner Museum still feels bad about it and still hangs those empty frames! The loss is really heavy!"
"To be honest, apart from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA in New York, this is the first time I have seen the works of so many top art masters. It is really eye-opening!"
Hearing Anderson's emotion, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
"These paintings are indeed beautiful, but this is just the beginning. There will be more top-notch antique works of art to come, not necessarily worse than these 13 works of art. Please continue to enjoy them!"
After speaking, he clicked on another video.
This time it is the stolen antique artwork from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and every piece is of top quality.
As the computer screen changed, his voice floated into everyone's ears again.
"This is a masterpiece from the famous French romantic painter Delacroix. It was previously collected in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and was stolen in 2007. At the same time..."
The video of the stolen art from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston quickly finished playing, and Ye Tian immediately clicked on another video.
This is a video of stolen antiques and artworks from the Harvard University Museum. Two antiques and two famous paintings are equally valuable!
After playing this video, Ye Tian unplugged the USB flash drive, closed the laptop, and ended the short display.
At this time, David and the others were still immersed in the shock brought by these videos. They were all ecstatically praising them, and a few guys were even so excited that they danced!
"Oh my God! So many top-notch antiques and artworks, what a huge fortune! Make a fortune, no doubt!"
“This is definitely the craziest art thief I have ever seen, a hundred times more awesome than those in Hollywood movies! It’s incredible!”
"Papa"
Ye Tian gently slapped his hands twice, waking up these guys.
Then he smiled and said:
"Okay, guys, these three pieces of video data are what I plan to show to the FBI Art Crime Team today, including the directors of the three museums.
Everyone, get ready. We will set off in a moment to knock on the door of the FBI Art Crime Group. Our chance to make a fortune has come. Another battle has begun. We will definitely be the winners! "
As soon as he finished speaking, cheers immediately began.
"You're right, Steven, victory belongs to us!"
"It's so cool! I finally have to face the FBI, it's interesting!"
After cheering, everyone immediately started to split up and make preparations for departure.
Ye Tianze picked up the phone and walked into the adjacent bedroom with David.
After closing the door, Ye Tian immediately said:
"David, I'm going to contact the FBI Art Crime Unit. Come and witness this call!"
After saying that, he started to make a call, using the speaker phone and also turning on the recording function.
The number of the head of the FBI Art Crime Unit has been found for a long time, just for this moment.
"Okay! Steven"
David responded without saying anything more.
Not long after the ringtone rang, a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, who's looking for me? Is there anything wrong?"
This person was obviously very cautious. He didn't have the habit of answering the phone like ordinary Americans. He just gave his name when he came up.
"Good morning, Mr. Armstrong, excuse me for interrupting you. I am Steven, my Chinese name is Ye Tian. I come from China and now live in New York. I wonder if you have heard of my name!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone was very calm and polite.
The guy on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise after two or three seconds:
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, you are a superstar in the field of collecting antiques and art and a very successful billionaire. Of course I know that and I know your deeds very well.
I'm just curious. We haven't interacted with each other before. Why did you remember to call me? How did you know my mobile phone number? I'd love to know the answer! "
"Excessive praise! My reputation is not worth mentioning at all. We have never dealt with each other before, but from now on, we may have to deal with each other frequently. I hope we can become good friends.
As for your mobile phone number, it is not difficult to find out as long as you are willing, and I am exactly the person who is willing, but it is still a bit presumptuous. If it really disturbs you, then I can only say sorry!
As far as I know, you are the head of the FBI's Art Crimes Unit. That's why I'm calling you. To be honest, I want to do a deal with the FBI's Art Crimes Unit. A big deal. ! "
After some useless nonsense, Ye Tian finally got to the point.
"That's right! I am indeed the head of the FBI Art Crime Group. You are very well-informed, but we don't seem to have any intersection? I wonder what kind of business you want to do with us? Tell us!"
Armstrong asked in confusion, probably his mind was filled with questions.
"I can guarantee that you will definitely be interested in this business! What is mentioned next is very important. I hope you can keep it a secret. I also believe that you will keep this secret.
Before getting to the point, I must state that our entire call is being recorded. My lawyer is by my side and he will witness the entire call. I hope you can understand! "
Ye Tian explained a few words. This is a necessary step and can avoid a lot of trouble.
The other end of the phone was silent!
After a moment's pause, Armstrong's voice came.
"Okay, Steven, I don't mind recording the call. If what you say is really important and not illegal, I will keep it confidential. Don't worry, you can start!"
"Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Armstrong! Let's get down to business. In Boston, I discovered an international art crime syndicate on a scale that has never been seen in the United States!
Through some technical means, I obtained several pieces of video material, from which I saw 13 top-level works of art stolen from the Gardner Museum in 1990, a lot of them! How about it, are you interested? "
Ye Tian's tone was very relaxed, but the content of his words was like a depth bomb, extremely shocking.
Armstrong on the other end of the phone was completely stunned and lost his voice.
A moment later, his suddenly high-octave voice came from the phone.
"Steven, you discovered a large-scale international art crime syndicate in Boston? Is it true or false? Why do I not believe it?
Also, have you really seen the 13 top works of art that were looted from the Gardner Museum? Did I hear that correctly? How can this be? That was an unsolved case for more than twenty years! ”
"Mr. Armstrong, the video data is the best evidence. Once you see the video data in my hand, you will understand that what I said is completely true!
Should we meet again? I don't know if you are in Washington or somewhere else? I'm in Boston now and can set out to meet you at any time."
Ye Tiantian said calmly, with a very confident tone that left no room for doubt.
After a pause of two or three seconds, Armstrong's excited voice sounded again.
"Okay, Steven, we really should meet. I hope everything you said is true. I'm in Washington. I'll take a helicopter and I'll be in Boston before one o'clock!"
"Liar! You are obviously in Boston, but you insist on saying that you are in Washington. Are you not telling lies?"
Ye Tian complained secretly, but did not expose the other party's lies.
After all, the other party also needs to make some preparations and discuss countermeasures, and a certain amount of time must be set aside.
"OK! Mr. Armstrong, I'm waiting for your call. See you in the afternoon!"
Ye Tian said politely and immediately ended the call.
Then, he and David discussed in the bedroom for a while, mainly discussing the details of the afternoon meeting, and then the two of them walked out of the bedroom.
Lunch time is almost here, and another battle ensues!
