The eyes returned to Tony's gallery. Ye Tian and the others had left the gallery for more than ten minutes, but the gallery owner Tony was still immersed in the ecstasy of successful transactions.
For him, the price at which the two landscape oil paintings were sold just now was something he could not even dream of before, but now it has become a living reality. Can he not feel ecstatic?
But how did he know what he had just missed?
It was definitely the greatest piece of art he had ever owned in his life and the largest fortune he had ever owned, but it was sold by him at a price that was almost negligible and fell into Ye Tian's possession. In the bag.
Just when Tony was overjoyed, the door of the gallery was pushed open again, and two Italian men in their twenties and thirties were carried into this elegant gallery by a gust of cold wind.
Seeing someone enter the gallery, Tony immediately adjusted his mood, quickly put on a bright smile, and was ready to stand up and greet them.
He didn't need to get up to greet him. The two guys who had just entered the gallery walked straight towards him.
This made Tony feel very surprised, and he became more vigilant without realizing it. He thought that the other party was coming with bad intentions.
Turin is no different from other Italian cities. Mafia, thieves, and art thieves are everywhere. Do you dare to be careless?
The fact that I just earned 70,000 to 80,000 euros has not been spread at all. Who would come to your door so quickly?
Is it possible that he is a subordinate of that guy Steven? This is impossible. Although that guy Steven is ruthless, he is very rule-abiding, and he is a super rich man, so he cannot do such a dishonorable thing!
In the blink of an eye, the two guys were in front of Tony.
While standing still, one of the guys took out a certificate from his arms, showed it in front of Tony, and asked solemnly:
"Man, we are the Italian Carabinieri. Excuse me, what did that **** Steven just buy from you? If it is a work of art, then it is the work of that artist. How much is it worth?
I hope you can answer truthfully, and please rest assured that we are not targeting you and this gallery, but that **** Steven. We want to prevent that **** from taking national treasure-level antique art out of Italy! ”
Tony did not respond immediately, but carefully looked at the certificate in the other person's hand.
When he saw clearly that the other party was indeed the famous Italian Carabinieri, he couldn't help but shudder and was secretly frightened.
He is a gallery owner who deals in art, and it is inevitable that he has some shady things in private. Now seeing the legendary cultural relics gendarme come to your door, can you not feel frightened!
At the same time, a feeling that something bad was going on suddenly arose in his heart.
Did you just get robbed by that **** Steven? That Baroque-style landscape painting is actually a priceless top-notch work of art, shouldn't it?
Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, Tony's expression did not change much. He looked calm, just a little surprised, and his acting skills were excellent.
Next, he truthfully told everything that had happened before, and showed high-definition pictures of the two landscape paintings, as well as his own appraisal conclusion!
Of course, he truthfully told the transaction prices of the two works of art without any concealment.
He really wanted to hide it, so that he could pay a lot less tax, but the two guys standing opposite were cultural relics gendarmes. Even if he had the courage, he would not dare to play that trick.
It would be troublesome if it turns out to be self-defeating.
At that time, if you are severely fined by the relevant departments, you will definitely not escape. If not, you may be imprisoned, or even this gallery will not be able to open and will have to close down!
After listening to Tony's introduction, Pizarro, standing opposite him, not only frowned.
Not to mention the realistic landscape painting by a young Italian painter, with Steven's vision and rank, would he be impressed by a Baroque style painting worth 60,000 euros? Seems unlikely!
However, that Baroque landscape oil painting is the work of that artist. How much is its specific value? Could it be a top-notch piece of art that is unknown but priceless?
In Pizarro's opinion, that Baroque landscape painting was probably worth a lot of money, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't determine whose work it was. Can't even determine its value?
In desperation, he could only ask Tony to send him pictures of the two paintings and other relevant information, and then left Tony's gallery with the other cultural relics gendarme.
As soon as he walked out of the gallery, Pizarro immediately sent the pictures and information he had just received back to the headquarters of the Cultural Relics Gendarmerie for appraisal by the antique art appraisal experts at the headquarters, and then decided on the next step.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had walked to the other side of San Carlo Square, walked into another elegantly decorated antique store, and continued to sweep Turin's antique art market.
Ten minutes later, when they came out of the antique store, they had another piece of antique art in their hands.
It was a piece of exquisite porcelain from China, packed in a solid wood box, and carried by Ye Tian himself.
As soon as he came out of this antique store, Ye Tian saw Pizarro and several other Italian cultural relics gendarmes waiting at the door of the antique store, being watched closely by several armed security personnel.
The moment he saw Ye Tian and the others, Pizarro immediately said loudly:
"Steven, I have something I want to talk to you about. Can you let me come over?"
When these words were said, Pizarro and the other Italian cultural relics gendarmes felt extremely depressed.
This is Italy. On Italian soil, especially when it comes to people in the field of collecting antiques and art, when have these Italian cultural relics gendarmes been blocked by others, they have always been able to pass without hindrance!
But ever since I met Steven, that **** bastard, the situation has completely turned around. Instead, this **** is running rampant, while people like me have to be careful everywhere. How can this make sense to them?
What’s even more annoying is that Steven, this bastard, is so cunning to the extreme that he is completely invulnerable!
Even if people like me rack their brains, they can't find any clues and can only let this **** loot Italy like crazy!
"Cole, let Pizarro come over. We are all old friends who have interacted with each other many times. We are relatively familiar with each other. There should be no danger!"
Ye Tian said loudly with a smile, and nodded lightly to Pizarro and the guys.
Then, Cole and the others took a step away and released Pizarro, but stopped several other cultural relics gendarmes.
In a few steps, Pizarro was already approaching.
Before he could stand firm, this guy cut out all the nonsense and asked in a low voice with a solemn expression:
"Stephen, can you tell us about the antique works of art you purchased? We, the Italian Carabinieri, would like to know more about their situation and specific value!"
Ye Tian looked at his old friend in front of him, then smiled and whispered:
"Nothing is wrong, Pizarro. I would also like to thank you for your concern. It has been more than an hour since arriving at Piazza San Carlo until now, and I have only bought three pieces of antique art.
The first piece of art is a realistic landscape oil painting by a contemporary young Italian painter. It depicts a snow scene in the Alps. It looks quite beautiful. I plan to keep it as a souvenir.
The second piece of art is a rather historical Baroque style painting, which is also a landscape painting. The tone is very dark, and it is unsigned. The specific artist's work is still unknown.
The third piece is an antique. I bought it in the antique shop behind me. It is a piece of exquisite porcelain from China. It is also hundreds of years old, but its specific value needs to be re-evaluated.
The transaction process of these three antique artworks is completely legal, and their combined price is less than 90,000 euros. Don’t worry, Pizarro, I won’t pay a penny less in customs duties! ”
Hearing this, Pizarro couldn't help but rolled his eyes angrily.
"Stephen, you bastard, are you here for the customs tax that is so pitifully small that it is even negligible?"
While secretly complaining, Pizarro also felt a deep sense of helplessness and frustration!
Next, Ye Tian said a few words of hypocrisy and casualness, then said goodbye and left, taking David and the others towards the last antique shop around Piazza San Carlo.
Watching them leave, Pizarro and several other cultural relics gendarmes were so filled with hatred that their teeth almost broke, but they had no choice but to watch Ye Tian continue to loot Turin's antique art market!
