At five o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended.
After several hours of discussion, both parties have reached an agreement!
In principle, museums and famous collectors accepted Ye Tiankai’s conditions, allowing him to take 40 to 50 percent of the stolen antique art!
Of course, this is conditional.
Ye Tian must take out the part of the antique artwork that he swallowed, and through private transactions, let various museums and famous collectors buy it back at market prices and take it back to various museums.
Both parties must keep this kind of private transaction confidential to avoid unnecessary trouble!
As a result, Ye Tian made a huge fortune, and museums and famous collectors could claim that they had successfully recovered all the stolen top antiques. Everyone was happy!
As for the Chinese antiques intercepted by Ye Tian, he would also find Western antiques of basically equal value to replace them without any problems.
As before, the two parties reached a verbal agreement and did not implement it into the contract.
First, because the museum owners need to go back for meetings to discuss and cannot make decisions immediately.
Furthermore, Ye Tian never thought about signing the contract right away. That would only tie his own hands and feet, and the gain would outweigh the loss!
After I have contacted all the museums and collectors on the list and reached an agreement, it is time to actually sign the contract.
Next, you can rush to Boston again to dig out this huge treasure and unplug Thompson's art crime syndicate.
"Steven, you promised me that painting of Picasso's peak period. You must not break your promise!"
Isaac came over and said, the old man was still very excited and his smile was brighter than flowers.
"Didn't I just say it! This is just a metaphor, how can you take it seriously? Mr. Isaac, of course, if the exchange terms satisfy me, this deal is not impossible!"
Ye Tian pretended to be surprised and said without saying anything.
"You are such a slippery guy! Don't worry, the exchange terms will definitely satisfy you!"
Issac said angrily, feeling quite helpless.
After chatting for a few more words, the old man turned around and returned to his seat, ready to pack up and leave.
Others also stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Ye Tian's voice sounded in everyone's ears again.
"Gentlemen, I emphasize once again that it must be kept secret! This matter must not be leaked until the last minute, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous! I believe you and I are not willing to face that kind of result!"
"I know, we definitely care more about the safety of those stolen antiques and artworks than you do. I believe everyone is the same and will never leak the secrets!"
The director of the Metropolitan Museum nodded and said, and the others nodded in response.
"Of course that's great! In addition, if the gentleman doesn't plan to leave New York for the time being, it's best to wait a while before leaving, and we will contact the hotel for you.
This place is very close to the Plaza Hotel, just a few blocks away. How about arranging for everyone to stay at the Plaza Hotel? The food and lodging expenses are all mine, and this is my little wish! "
"You are quite generous, but forget it, I can't bear it! When you sign the contract, just don't be too shady, then we will be grateful!"
said a famous collector in Philadelphia, with a wry smile.
"You're right, you are too shady. How dare we enjoy your favor! Who knows what the price will be if we turn back!"
Another person made fun of him, a famous collector from Atlantic City.
"Hahaha"
The scene burst into laughter, and everyone nodded in sympathy.
"Okay! Since everyone is unwilling to accept this arrangement, then I can just save this expenditure. What a good thing, why not do it!
I won’t send you off as I still have some things to deal with. Jason will take you away. I wish you all a happy stay in New York and a wonderful winter time. See you later, everyone! "
"See you later, you lucky guy!"
Everyone said goodbye and left the conference room.
However, two of them were retained by Ye Tian. They were Joey from the FBI Art Crime Group and the deputy director from the FBI in Washington!
Others soon left, and the conference room was closed again.
At this time, there were only five people left in the conference room, Ye Tian, David and Mattis, as well as Joey and the FBI Deputy Director Joseph!
"Steven, why did you leave us alone? Is there anything else?"
Joy asked curiously, a little confused.
"Yes! There is indeed something going on, and it is not convenient for others to know these things"
Ye Tian nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"What do you want? Let me tell you."
Deputy Director Joseph interjected, also very curious!
"Museum directors and collectors from other cities will arrive in New York tomorrow. As the authorities responsible for art crime, I think you should also be there tomorrow"
"Indeed, we will come tomorrow"
"Guests from Mexico and Canada will also arrive tomorrow, and perhaps from other countries. They will include not only museum owners and collectors, but also art crime detectives from various countries.
The day after tomorrow, there will be guests from Asia, Europe, and South America. If nothing unexpected happens, Scotland Yard, the French Artwork Prevention Team, the Italian Antiquities Gendarmerie, etc., should all send people there.
I can handle the museum owners and collectors, but for your foreign colleagues, I hope you will handle it. I don’t want to conflict with them, let alone ruin the whole thing! "
Ye Tian explained the situation he was about to face with a serious expression.
These cultural relics police outside the United States do not understand the situation here, nor do they understand themselves. Who knows what they will do, they have to be on guard!
Hearing this, the expressions of Joey and Joseph became much more solemn.
After thinking for a moment, Joseph immediately said:
"Stephen, don't worry, we know how to do it. These foreign colleagues leave it to us to deal with it. We will do a good job in communication and won't let them do anything bad!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then continued:
"There is another thing. Regarding the goods in that warehouse, there are some special circumstances. I have not told you before. Now is the time.
In addition to hiding a large number of stolen antiques and artworks, there are also many other types of antiques in that warehouse. These antiques are quite numerous and have a certain value in total.
According to my preliminary estimate, the market value of these antiques is about US$40 million. If sold separately, we should be able to buy more, but it will not exceed US$50 million.
Unlike many stolen antiques and artworks, these antiques are all ownerless. For these antiques, I ask for 60% of them, and the rest belongs to you."
Hearing this, Joey and Joseph couldn't help but have a look of surprise in their eyes.
Forty percent share, 20 million US dollars! A windfall from heaven! What a great experience.
"Steven, is there any video material of these items? It would be best if we could take a look!"
Joseph asked excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Of course there is video material, but I just can’t show it to you. If you see the text on those crates, you will be in big trouble!
God knows if there is any written record of that batch of arms that originally belonged to the Sons of Liberty Association! If there are relevant records and the storage location is specified, and you find them again, then my work will be in vain!
"I'm very sorry, Joseph. Time was tight and the value of these antiques was relatively low, so I didn't take pictures of these antiques."
Ye Tianxin made nonsense, whether the other party believed it or not was another matter.
"Hey! That's such a pity. Can you tell me what antiques they are?"
Joseph sighed and said with regret.
But his flickering eyes showed that he didn't really believe Ye Tian's words.
You're such a flawless guy, how could you not take any video? Go ahead and cheat!
Ye Tian didn't bother to answer whether they believed it or not.
After a pause, he continued:
"That is a batch of military supplies from more than 200 years ago, including guns, ammunition, military uniforms, etc. It should be related to the American Revolutionary War. Although the value is not high, the historical significance is extraordinary!
Because of this, I must inform you in advance that when we enter that warehouse, it is best to be accompanied by someone from the Historical Heritage Protection Advisory Committee of the Ministry of the Interior, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble! "
“Ah! It’s actually a large number of arms from the War of Independence!”
Joseph exclaimed, stood up immediately, and looked at Ye Tian in shock.
Joy sitting next to him was also shocked by the news!
While feeling shocked, they also realized that this might be the biggest secret of that warehouse!
