www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of treasure hunting around the world!
As night falls, all the tourists who came to visit the Vatican have left. This noisy city-state has finally become quiet.
However, the eyes of countless people are still focused on this place, on the private auction that is about to begin and will surely shock the world, even if there is only one piece of art in the auction.
At nearly eight o'clock in the evening, on the second floor of the Vatican Museum, the exhibition hall where the auction preview of "Lisa Gradini" was held was brightly lit and bustling with people.
Because there were not many bidders invited to the auction, including their entourage, hired lawyers, art brokers and top art appraisal experts, there were no more than a hundred people!
In addition, since there is only one lot, it will not take a lot of time. There is no need to arrange seats. Everyone can complete the auction standing up and feel more comfortable.
So, Ye Tian decided to hold a private auction in this exhibition hall.
This way you don’t have to move "Lisa Gradini" back and forth, which saves a lot of work, is safer, and is very intuitive. The atmosphere of the museum is also quite good!
The only thing you need to pay attention to is the security of the auction site and other exhibition halls of the museum. Don't let some guys take advantage of the loopholes and sneak into other exhibition halls while the auction is taking place.
Ye Tian and the museum security department took this into consideration and made very careful arrangements.
Only invited bidders, their entourage, and lawyers can enter the museum to participate in this private auction, and there are strict restrictions on the number of people. They must go through several security checks and verify their identities.
The other wealthy people and collectors who were not invited had no chance of entering the museum. Like other idlers, they were all invited out of the Vatican and could only stay in the distance and marvel at the ocean.
Under such circumstances, no matter how skilled the art thief is, no matter how good his disguise is, there is no way he can sneak into the Vatican Museum, let alone bring weapons or other equipment.
In addition, the Vatican Museum security department specially opened a safe passage from the museum gate directly to the exhibition hall where the auction is held.
In this not-too-long security passage, there are museum security personnel and staff with armed guns guarding every few meters, and they are always under surveillance, without any loopholes.
As for the exhibition hall where the auction was held, the security tasks were taken over by Ye Tian's security personnel. The entire exhibition hall inside and outside was under the control of Cole and the others, and water could not be poured in!
Coupled with Ye Tian's clairvoyance ability and unparalleled strength, even if God comes in person, he can't even try to **** "Lisa Gradini" away from this exhibition hall.
It is getting closer and closer to eight o'clock in the evening, and the atmosphere in the exhibition hall is getting warmer and warmer. Although there is laughter and laughter in the ears, there is a thick smell of gunpowder in the air.
All the buyers invited to participate in this private auction have arrived and are secretly gearing up to fight, defeat all competitors, and win the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, "Lisa Grady" Ni".
Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, Ye Tian was chatting with his old friend Bernard and others, so he smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, it's almost eight o'clock. The auction will start soon. I won't chat with you anymore. I'm going to host the auction. I wish you good luck and get what you want!"
After saying that, he walked towards "Lisa Gradini".
Two meters in front of this top-notch work of art, there is a simple auction stand. This is the stage where Ye Tian will perform later, and it is also where he slaughters a certain super-rich man at the scene.
Seeing his actions, everyone in the exhibition hall immediately stopped talking, and the scene immediately became quiet.
Without exception, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian and at the "Lisa Gradini" hanging on the wall. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot and high-spirited.
In a few steps, Ye Tian walked onto the auction stage and picked up the auction hammer placed on the auction stage.
Just when he turned around and looked at the people in the audience, the auction hammer in his hand also fell down. A series of movements were smooth and smooth, which was pleasing to the eye.
"Bang!"
The auction hammer fell heavily on the table, and the sound resounded throughout the entire exhibition hall.
With this sound, everyone at the scene suddenly became more excited, everyone's eyes lit up, and they were instantly ready to fight.
Ye Tian quickly scanned the audience, then started his performance with a smile.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I am Steven. Welcome to the Vatican Museums and welcome you to attend my private auction. It is a great honor!
I sincerely hope that everyone can get what they want, but there is only one auction tonight, and most people are destined to go home empty-handed, but I still hope you can enjoy this wonderful night! ”
"Pa bang bang"
A warm applause broke out in the exhibition hall, and everyone at the scene began to applaud.
Everyone expressed their enthusiasm for Ye Tian’s words, for Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece “Lisa Gradini”, for their high-spirited self, and for this night that is destined to shock the world. of applause.
When the applause subsided, Ye Tian's clear and magnetic voice came out again, reaching the ears of everyone present.
“Today’s private auction has only one item, and that is the painting “Lisa Gradini” hanging on the wall, a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of Renaissance art. .
In terms of artistry, this "Lisa Gradini" is no less than the treasure of the Louvre, the world-famous "Mona Lisa", and it is in better preservation condition .
This afternoon, everyone has identified and appreciated this priceless treasure. There should be no doubt about its authenticity. I can say with absolute certainty that this is definitely an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci.
You all already know very well about the origin of this painting "Lisa Gradini" and how I got it, but I still want to introduce it again. Don't think I am corny..."
Next, Ye Tian began to introduce the process of obtaining this priceless treasure. Of course, there were many Spring and Autumn calligraphy techniques, and he attributed it all to his own good luck.
"Lisa Gradini" is a top-notch work of art that just came out and was put on the auction block in the blink of an eye. It is also a priceless treasure. Of course, its origin must be publicly explained and its legitimacy demonstrated.
This is an essential procedure and very important, so everyone at the scene was listening to Ye Tian’s introduction without any objection!
Listening to his words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but envy Wei Wei. Some guys' eyes turned red with envy, and they all complained secretly.
"God is too partial to this **** Steven. All the good things happened to this guy's head, allowing him to acquire top-notch antiques and artworks, and crazy treasures one after another. .
But what about everyone else? God simply turns a blind eye. Such a good thing and a priceless treasure like "Lisa Gradini" can never fall on other people's heads. How can he reason? So infuriating! ”
It took about two or three minutes for Ye Tiancai to introduce the process of obtaining "Lisa Gradini" and the subsequent identification process.
Next, it’s time to get down to business.
"Everyone must know that once "Lisa Gradini" was discovered and initially confirmed to be an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci, it immediately caused a huge sensation and was quickly included in the list of artworks restricted from leaving the country.
In other words, I cannot leave Italy with this priceless treasure. Even if this priceless treasure belongs to me, I can only collect it in Italy or dispose of it by legal means.
As everyone knows, I am a good, law-abiding citizen. Even in Italy, I will not violate local laws and leave Italy with this priceless treasure and bring it back to New York."
"Hahaha"
Before Ye Tian could finish his words, there was a burst of laughter, and everyone in the exhibition hall laughed loudly.
Are you a good, law-abiding citizen? We have to believe it too! Those unlucky guys who were sent to **** by you must also believe it!
Giovanni and Italian Minister of Culture Tiano, who were standing in the audience, also laughed loudly. At the same time, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.
They understood that Ye Tian kept his previous promise.
Before the auction officially begins, he will explain to all participating buyers that they must not leave Italy with "Lisa Gradini".
As expected, Ye Tian then talked about this issue.
"As you all know, I am a top professional treasure hunter, not a collector. Although I also like "Lisa Gradini" very much, I do not intend to collect this priceless treasure.
To me, this priceless treasure is just a commodity, essentially the same as any other commodity, except that its value is a little higher, perhaps much higher.
Because of this, tonight's private auction is held, and everyone will gather here to appreciate this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci and compete fairly for this top-notch work of art.
Before that, I must explain that no matter which buyer wins and gets this "Lisa Gradini", it cannot be taken out of Italy without official permission! ”
