Early in the morning the next day, just after dawn, Ye Tian and his convoy left the Vatican and headed straight for the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Rome.
The journey went smoothly and the convoy arrived at the airport soon.
About half an hour later, Ye Tian's Bombardier Global Express 8000 took off, roared into the sky, and flew Betty and the others towards New York.
The reason why Ye Tian asked Betty to return to New York instead of continuing to stay with him and follow him to explore treasures and enjoy the beautiful scenery across Europe was of course his own considerations.
At the upcoming press conference this morning, the joint exploration of the Knights Templar's treasures by Intrepid Exploration Company and the Vatican will be officially announced.
Don't even think about it. Once this news is announced, it will definitely shock the whole world and attract countless attention.
In particular, the Knights Templar treasure is related to several famous religious relics and to some mysterious religious groups that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. It may trigger some more extreme reactions.
Under this situation, it is obviously not a wise choice for Betty to stay with him and explore the treasures of the Knights Templar together.
It was for safety reasons that Ye Tiancai asked Betty to leave Rome and return to New York.
In addition, there is another reason.
They have been away from New York for a long time, and the company has accumulated a lot of matters that require Betty to go back to deal with, such as the settlement with the major auction houses in New York after the end of the New York autumn auction season.
Shortly after Betty and the others left, Anderson and several security personnel began to officially clear the customs with a large number of valuable antiques and art, and accepted joint inspections by the customs and the Italian Antiquities Gendarmerie.
As Ye Tian expected, although these antiques and artworks were valuable, they did not meet the threshold for restricting departure.
After a careful inspection by the Italian cultural relics gendarme, they could only let them go. They watched helplessly as boxes filled with antiques and artworks were put on charter flights one by one and then shipped to New York on the other side of the ocean.
Of course, Ye Tian did not miss a penny of the customs tax that was due. He paid it all in full, which was considered a contribution to Rome, but this contribution was so meager that it could be ignored.
At around 8:30 a.m., the American Airlines charter flight carrying Anderson, the others, and a large number of antique artworks took off smoothly, took off into the sky, and flew directly to New York on the other side of the ocean.
After watching the American Airlines charter plane fly into the sky and disappear from sight, Ye Tian finally looked away, then led the team out of the airport and returned to Rome again.
By the time their motorcade arrived at the Vatican, it was already around 9:15 in the morning.
At this time, St. Peter's Square is already bustling with people, and people are rubbing shoulders with each other!
In addition to countless tourists from all over the world, there are also many media reporters in the square, each carrying long guns and short cannons, scattered throughout the square.
The arrival of Ye Tian and his heavy convoy cannot escape the eyes of these guys.
The moment they saw the convoy, these guys immediately ran away like a rush of blood, heading straight towards Ye Tian like a tide.
Ye Tian and the others had just gotten out of the car and before they even entered St. Peter's Square, they saw such a scene.
Fortunately, Cole and the others were well prepared, and the Vatican police patrolling the square had already received orders to keep a close eye on these uncrowned kings who feared chaos in the world.
In the blink of an eye, two more cordons appeared around Ye Tian and the others.
The outer group was composed of Vatican police, and the inner group was composed of Cole and the others. They directly stopped the media reporters who were rushing towards them.
However, these uncrowned kings are not willing to let go of this opportunity, otherwise they would not have to do this job.
Before they could gain a foothold, several media reporters couldn’t wait to start asking questions loudly.
"Good morning, Steven, I am a reporter from the Washington Post. Will the press conference held later announce your plan to cooperate with the Vatican to explore the treasure? Can you tell me what kind of treasure it is? ?"
"Good morning, Steven. I am a reporter from Italian National Television. Can you tell me about your public reward on the Internet to collect statue fragments? Whose work is that statue and how much is it worth?
A message just appeared on social media. It is said that you spent 200,000 euros to collect several statue fragments from an antique dealer last night. So what kind of statue is it that is so valuable? ”
Hearing these questions, Ye Tian immediately stopped, quickly put on a bright smile, turned around and looked at the expectant media reporters.
He quickly glanced around the scene, then smiled and said loudly:
“Ladies and gentlemen, fellow journalists, good morning, I’m Steven, I’m glad to see you all here, the weather is very nice today, the sun is shining brightly, I hope everyone is in the same mood.
The press conference that will be held later will indeed announce the plan of our company and the Vatican to jointly explore the treasure. There is no need to hide this, and there is no need. Everyone must have guessed it.
But what kind of treasure it is, let me keep it secret. It is not convenient to reveal it for the time being. It still needs to be kept secret. After the press conference is held later, everyone will know the answer, so don’t worry! ”
"Hey——!"
There was a sigh at the scene. The media reporters were somewhat disappointed and could only continue to suffer.
When the scene calmed down a little, Ye Tian immediately continued:
“Let’s talk about my public reward on the Internet to collect statue fragments. The news circulating on social media is correct. I did spend 200,000 euros last night to collect several statue fragments.
This is the first batch of statue fragments I received after posting the bounty announcement. It can be said to be a good start. I am very happy and hope that more people will see this message and work hard to collect the statue fragments.
As long as the statue fragments you collected are good and exactly what I want, then rest assured that all your hard work and efforts will be rewarded most generously, but don’t even think about fishing in troubled waters!
As for the theme of that statue, which character or story is it, which artist is the creator, and how much is it worth? Either I don’t know this information very well, or it’s not convenient to release it at the moment!
What I can tell you is that it is an ancient Greek sculpture with a long history. When I found and bought it, it was just a pile of broken statue fragments, and the damage was more serious than that of "The Broken Body".
After buying the statue fragments, I took them back to my residence and tried to piece them together. In the process, I became very interested in this ancient Greek sculpture and hoped to reproduce it.
For me, this is a jigsaw puzzle, and it would be really fun to piece this sculpture back together and recreate it, so I'm offering a reward for the remaining pieces! ”
"Wow! Jigsaw puzzle, are there such expensive jigsaw puzzles? I've never heard of them!"
"This guy Steven is as crazy as ever. He spends hundreds of thousands of euros to buy a few statue fragments just to play jigsaw puzzles. Only he can do this kind of thing, no one else can do it!"
There was a buzz of discussion at the scene, and everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's words.
Of course, many people do not believe these high-sounding words.
They knew very well that this was a profitless guy who would never engage in loss-making business. Since he spent so much money to collect statue fragments, that ancient Greek sculpture must be something special!
No need to ask, it is probably a priceless top-notch piece of art.
However, no matter how hard these media reporters thought about it, they would never have imagined that it was actually the Athena statue of Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture, a priceless treasure that only existed in legends!
Next, Ye Tian answered a few more questions before saying goodbye and leaving, returning to his residence with David and the others to prepare for the press conference later.
After they left, they saw that the time was almost up. Reporters from major news media in the world also walked towards the location where the press conference was held. Everyone was full of expectations.
