As soon as the two medium-sized helicopters left the sky above the canal antique market, Ye Tian's cell phone rang. It was a call from Thomas, the director of the Metropolitan Museum.
As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of this old friend came over, sounding extremely excited.
"Good afternoon, Steven, congratulations on discovering Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, "Lisa Gradini" in Milan. This discovery is so important and shocking!
You are extremely lucky. No matter where you go, you will find something, and they are all heavyweight discoveries! God seems to always be with you! "
“Hello, Thomas, I was indeed very lucky during this trip to Milan. I discovered many valuable antique works of art, especially Leonardo da Vinci’s “Lisa Gradini”.
This is also a long-cherished wish of mine. Counting Raphael's "Icon of Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Lamentation of the Christ", the works of the three masters of Renaissance art, I have collected them all! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone naturally satisfied.
"It's just you. If it were anyone else, I'd probably never come across a work by the three masters of Renaissance art in their lifetime. It's a blessing to have such an opportunity!
Can you sell this Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece to our Metropolitan Museum? We need such a treasure, with which we can greatly shorten the distance between us and the Louvre.
As for the price of Leonardo da Vinci's "Lisa Gradini", you can set it as you like, even if it matches the ticket revenue of the Metropolitan Museum in the next few years, we will not hesitate"
"It's too early to say this now, Thomas. Taking this priceless treasure out of Italy may be harder than reaching the sky. As long as the Italians are not idiots, they will try their best to keep this oil painting!"
"You are right. No matter whether it is an individual or a country, who would give up such a masterpiece worth as much as the Mona Lisa?"
Thomas responded, with endless regret in his tone.
After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian hung up the phone and ended the call.
Following Thomas, MOMA director Julian called, followed by the director of the National Gallery of Art and several of the most famous top collectors in the United States.
In addition, Martinez, the director of the Louvre, Bernard, the richest man in France, the director of the British Museum, etc., these heavyweights in the field of European art collections, also called in one after another.
Without exception, these guys all have the same purpose, they all want to acquire Leonardo da Vinci's "Lisa Gradini". Each one of them is waving a blank check and showing great generosity!
Just like Thomas at the Metropolitan Museum, Ye Tian pushed these guys away one by one without giving anyone a clear answer.
During this period, even Mr. Shan from the Forbidden City called me to join in the fun, also coming for this painting "Lisa Gradini".
However, the Forbidden City has no intention of purchasing it. It just wants to talk about loaning it for exhibition to see if this is a possibility.
On the phone, Ye Tian briefly introduced the current situation. He clearly told Mr. Shan that it was almost impossible to borrow the exhibition and it would be difficult for this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci to leave Italy.
After hearing his explanation, Mr. Shan gave up the idea of borrowing the exhibition.
As Ye Tian and the others flew away from the canal, Cole led the rest of the people on the ground and successfully passed through the crowd of onlookers, boarded the motorcade waiting outside the crowd, and drove straight to the Four Seasons Hotel.
Behind their motorcade were a dozen Milan police cars and vehicles of the Cultural Relics Gendarmerie.
After that, there are a large number of news media interview vehicles, as well as many vehicles of onlookers, and finally countless people riding small and flexible scooters.
All these large and small vehicles gathered together to form a huge convoy, and it was so spectacular that it was impossible to see the end at a glance!
When this motorcade was like a huge torrent, roaring through the streets of Milan, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Milan, shocking everyone on the streets and stunned them!
And this convoy is still growing rapidly, with vehicles and scooters constantly joining it along the way. The closer the convoy gets to the Four Seasons Hotel, the more spectacular the scene becomes!
It didn't take long for the two medium-sized helicopters to fly over the Four Seasons Hotel, and then began to slowly descend, landing on the apron on the roof of the hotel.
What happened next went very smoothly.
Half an hour later, Ye Tian and Betty were already in the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel. Anderson and Cole had also returned to the hotel.
The four Milan lawyers and the U.S. Embassy delegation who followed were arranged in several other luxury suites on the same floor of the hotel.
As for Leonardo da Vinci's "Lisa Gradini", it has always been within Ye Tian's field of vision and has never left it for a moment.
The rest of the antique artworks swept from the Milan canal antique market were transported into several rooms and stored, and will be processed later.
After returning to the room to wash up and take a short rest, Ye Tian and the others began to enjoy lunch, of course in the room upstairs.
While they were enjoying their lunch and savoring the joy, the whole of Milan, and even the whole of Italy, was in full swing and became very lively.
As Ye Tian expected, the Milanese people who were completely shocked by "Lisa Gradini" woke up and immediately started flocking to the Four Seasons Hotel from all over Milan like a tide!
Among them were those who came to petition and those who came to protest. Of course, there were also those who came to watch the fun and a large number of people with ulterior motives!
The ultimate goal of those willing and protesting demonstrators is the same, which is to let Ye Tian keep "Lisa Gradini" in Italy and Milan!
As for those guys with ulterior motives, they just want to come here to see if there is any bargain to be gained!
Fortunately, Ye Tian warned Giovanni in advance, and the Milan police responded quickly. They mobilized a large number of police forces to guard the Four Seasons Hotel very tightly, leaving almost no loopholes.
When the surging crowd arrived around the Four Seasons Hotel, they were immediately blocked by Milan police blockades, making it impossible to get close to the hotel.
They could only stay a little further away from the hotel and outside the warning area, shouting loudly and waving flags and slogans desperately to express their demands.
The Italian super-rich named by Ye Tian, under public pressure, have also issued statements one after another, stating that their families or companies intend to acquire "Lisa Gradini" and keep it in Italy!
Ye Tian and the others received these messages while they were sitting in the living room to rest after lunch.
"Steven, just now, Maria and Berlusconi, who were named by you, issued public statements respectively. They said they would contact you as soon as possible to discuss the acquisition of "Lisa Gradini".
Even the Italian Prime Minister's Office issued a public statement, saying that this is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of art, congratulating you, and hoping that this oil painting can stay in Italy! "
Anderson said with a smile, reporting on the latest situation from the outside world.
"That couldn't be better, I'm ready, just wait for these Italian fat sheep to come to your door, and then kill them and make a lot of money!"
Ye Tian said jokingly, looking like he was sharpening his knife to the pigs and sheep.
"Hahaha"
A burst of laughter immediately erupted in the living room, and everyone laughed.
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian got to the point.
"Cole, inform the guys to be more vigilant. From now on, everyone must be vigilant, guard against death, and protect everyone here and every piece of antique art.
Anderson, go and bring those Milan lawyers and the U.S. Embassy team over. They will be involved in some things, and then I will start studying "Lisa Gradini""
"Okay, Steven"
Cole and Anderson responded in unison and immediately took action.
