The first transaction was completed quickly and everyone was happy with the result!
Blanton took the Gardner Museum group with him and left the Bartley Hotel with satisfaction, holding twelve pieces of top-notch antique artworks that were lost and recovered!
Of course, while they were excited, they were also heartbroken, secretly wondering how to curse Ye Tian!
That’s US$320 million! Anyone who was knocked away from such a large amount of wealth would be heartbroken!
They listened to Ye Tian's suggestion and left from the air on an Airbus H155. The **** vehicle and SWAT armored vehicle on the ground followed suit, which served as a cover!
When the Airbus H155 roared off the hotel rooftop tarmac, the transactions in the conference room had begun again.
Sitting opposite Ye Tian this time was Isaac, the director of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, several staff members from the museum, and senior executives of AXA Art Insurance Company.
In addition to them, there are many more artworks in the conference room, and all of them are paintings, some from China, some from Europe and the United States.
As before, several museum identification experts came on stage first, and they quickly reached identification conclusions.
"Isaac, after identification, we can say with great certainty that these are the top-notch artworks stolen from our museum. Every piece is authentic, there is no doubt!
We were able to take back all of Renoir's "Out of the Bath", Gainsborough's "River Scene" and Pissarro's "Snowy Forest Road". What a wonderful day!
It is a pity that "Autumn Colors of the Country" by Li Tang of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Returning at Night in the Maple Forest" by Ni Zan of the Yuan Dynasty, and "Picture of Pine Valley Mountain Village" by Bada Shanren in the early Qing Dynasty, these three top Chinese works of art have to leave. Here we go!
Picasso's "Women on the Shore" is indeed his work two years after he founded Cubism. There are three paintings of the same theme. Each one can be called a masterpiece of art and is one of Picasso's masterpieces!
We applaud the exchange of Chinese artworks from our collection for this Picasso painting. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston needs such a heavyweight artwork, which will make our museum even more outstanding! "
An appraisal expert from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts read out the appraisal conclusion and was very emotional.
At the same time, the eyes of Isaac and the other appraisal experts were all focused on the Picasso painting. Their eyes were extremely hot and they could not move away for a moment.
This Picasso's "Women on the Shore" is a famous painting without an owner. It already belongs to Ye Tian and was exchanged by him with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
The target of the exchange is the three famous paintings from ancient China, three other famous paintings from ancient China, and a large sum of green dollars.
The three famous paintings of Li Tang, Ni Zan and Bada Shanren among the stolen works of art should have belonged to Ye Tian. Of course he would not be polite!
What really matches Picasso’s paintings are three other famous Chinese paintings and a large sum of cash!
Compared to Picasso's paintings, the market value of the three famous ancient Chinese paintings is obviously far lower, so they exchanged one for three, and also added a large amount of cash!
In this transaction, both parties gain something.
The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston paid for several famous Chinese paintings, but got a peak work of the top art master. Naturally, it was very happy!
As for the large sum of US dollars, to put it bluntly, it was not taken out of their pockets.
That money was basically the insurance compensation previously paid by Amber Art Insurance Company. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston only paid less than 5 million US dollars, so there was nothing to be reluctant to part with!
From this point of view, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has not lost much.
Needless to say, Ye Tian not only got six famous ancient Chinese paintings, each of which was a top-notch work of art, but also gained a large amount of US dollars. He definitely made a lot of money!
From this point of view, it seems that only Anbo Art Insurance Company suffered losses, but this is not the case.
For them, this insurance compensation was originally going to be wasted, and they never expected to recover it. Now that they can recover half of it, it is an unexpected surprise!
Even so, they are not prepared to bear the loss.
The ones who should really bear these losses are the group of international art thieves headed by Thompson! And those unscrupulous collectors!
Soon, Ambo Art Insurance Company will take all these guys to court and transfer all losses to these guys.
In addition, there is a more important reason why Ambo Art Insurance Company is not opposed to the current transaction!
The FBI Art Crime Team found the diary that recorded the records of the sale of stolen goods, and began to follow the picture to summon the unscrupulous collectors who collected the stolen goods!
Next, more stolen antiques and artworks will surface, and the compensation originally paid by various art insurance companies will naturally continue to flow back!
For insurance companies, this is the most important thing!
As soon as the appraisal expert read out the appraisal conclusion, Isaac couldn't wait to push a check over.
"Stephen, let's start the transaction. This is a cash check for US$30 million, which can be cashed at any time. The Chinese artworks you requested are right in front of you and are ready for transaction!"
After saying that, he stared at Ye Tian closely, expecting to hear the answer he wanted most.
But Ye Tian shook his head and said with a chuckle:
"Mr. Isaac, don't worry, I haven't appraised the ancient Chinese paintings you brought yet. Once the appraisal is completed, it won't be too late for us to trade!"
"Okay! You can do whatever you want, although I don't think it's necessary at all!"
Issac said helplessly, he could only hold back his temper and continue to wait.
Then, Ye Tian stood up and walked towards the three famous Chinese paintings he had just brought from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and started another one-man show.
As before, his appraisal speed is very fast.
While Isaac and the others were still stunned and exclaiming, he had completed the appraisal and sat back at the conference table.
"OK! Mr. Isaac, you can start trading!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, waking up several people across from him.
Next, the two parties entered into the transaction process, and everything went very smoothly.
Ten minutes later, Isaac and his party walked out of the conference room, left the Bartley Hotel with four top-notch paintings and returned to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts with brisk steps.
When Isaac and the others left, they were escorted back by the Boston Police SWAT and the museum’s own security forces. They were very safe!
Here in the conference room, Ye Tian had already pocketed the $30 million check and smiled brightly!
Matisse and Jason quickly packed up and put all the six newly acquired famous ancient Chinese paintings into the temporary safe prepared in advance.
In just two or three minutes, everything was sorted.
"Jason, please invite some gentlemen from the Harvard University Museum to come in and move in the four stolen antique works of art that originally belonged to them. We can start the next transaction!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his whole face was radiant, he looked very confident and full of fighting spirit!
"Okay!"
Jason responded excitedly, then turned and walked out of the conference room, with wind at his feet.
Soon, a group of people from the Harvard University Museum entered the conference room. Everyone looked gentle and gentle, and they seemed to be neither impatient nor impatient!
But the excitement flashing in their eyes revealed their truest emotions.
These few people do not have any Chinese antiques and art at hand. Their solution to the problem is very simple, which is to throw money at it. When has Harvard ever been short of money?
Besides, what they actually paid was not much, most of it was insurance compensation.
Seeing them come in, Ye Tian immediately stood up and said secretly:
"Don't be polite to them, these are a bunch of guys who are not short of money, they can kill you!"
Of course, these words cannot be said. What he said was completely different words.
"Gentlemen, please take a seat. It is a great honor to sit across from you!"
"There's no need to be so polite, Steven, as long as you show mercy, that's better than anything else!"
Robert said with a wry smile, obviously already aware of being slaughtered.
"Hahaha"
Amidst laughter, several people took their seats one after another.
In the banquet hall.
People gathered together in small groups and chatted, and everyone talked about the same topics.
Either the international art criminal group headed by Thompson, or the stolen top-notch artworks at the scene, or Ye Tianhe's ongoing transactions, etc.!
While chatting, everyone was also tasting wine!
Everyone in the banquet hall basically held a champagne glass in their hands. The amber top-quality champagne in the glass exuded the mellow taste! Refreshing!
In addition to fine wine, the banquet hall also has the best food and desserts in Boston for everyone to enjoy.
However, the focus of many people present was not on the food and wine, but on the temporary conference room in the corner of the banquet hall.
As everyone left the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston with satisfaction, a group of people from the Harvard University Museum walked into the conference room, and there was a burst of discussion in the banquet hall.
"Wow! The transaction is so fast. How long has it been! We are already at the third museum. Doesn't Steven appraise those Chinese antiques?"
"How could it not be appraised? This situation only shows one thing. That guy Steven appraises antiques so fast that it cannot be judged by common sense!"
Five minutes passed quickly amid the discussion.
The door of the temporary conference room opened again, and a group of people from the Harvard University Museum came out, holding four pieces of antique art that originally belonged to their museum. Everyone smiled brightly.
Immediately afterwards, a representative from another museum was invited into the conference room by Jason!
Trading continues!
