"Stephen, can you keep this Queen Mary's pearl and diamond bow brooch in Brussels? The historical significance it contains is so great, it is definitely a top antique work of art!
Although our Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium does not collect this kind of antique jewelry, I am sure that the Belgian History Museum will be very interested in it. I can help you contact them"
Gatlink said calmly, looking at Ye Tian eagerly.
The same goes for Jurgen standing next to him, his eyes full of expectation, envy, and even jealousy.
However, Ye Tian firmly shook his head and rejected Gatlink's request.
"I'm very sorry, Gatlinck, Jürgen, you don't have to think too much, there is no way this Queen Mary's pearl and diamond bow brooch can stay in Belgium!"
After hearing this, the two Belgian antique art appraisal experts immediately became anxious.
"Why is it impossible to stay in Belgium? If it is because of money, then you can discuss it with the History Museum. As for the valuation you just gave, the History Museum may also accept it!"
"Yes! Money is not a problem at all. Behind this top-notch piece of jewelry lies a history of the French Revolution. That is the most important thing!"
Ye Tian turned to look at Betty, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"Gentlemen, you may not know that Betty and I will be getting married soon. The most important purpose of our trip to Europe is to prepare for our wedding.
One of the tasks was to go to France to customize top-notch jewelry. The appearance of this pearl and diamond bow brooch can be said to be just right. It is a gift from God to us.
If Betty likes this piece of jewelry, then this Queen Mary's beloved brooch will belong to Betty from now on, no matter how much it is worth or how significant its historical significance is! "
"Wow! It turns out that because of this, it seems that we have no chance. What a shame!"
Gatlink said with emotion, his eyes filled with regret.
Immediately afterwards, he congratulated Ye Tian and Betty and wished them a happy wedding.
Others like Jurgen, Joseph, and Brother Zhang also expressed their congratulations to Ye Tian and Betty.
After being polite, Ye Tian continued:
"If Betty has no idea of keeping this brooch, then I plan to exchange it for several famous Chinese antiques. Those Chinese antiques are in the Louvre and Fontainebleau Palace in France.
I am sure that once the news of the release of this top-notch piece of jewelry spreads, the old guys from the Louvre and Fontainebleau Palace will definitely contact me and try to get this Queen Marie brooch.
In the unlikely event that we cannot reach an agreement and cannot exchange as desired, I am prepared to send this top-level jewelry with extraordinary historical significance to the New York autumn auction to allow all buyers interested in it to compete fairly.
In order to be fashionable, the super rich in the upper class of the United States have always been attracted to antique artworks from European royal families, not to mention that these are the favorite items from Queen Marie Marie.
At auction in New York, as long as it is handled properly and with enough publicity, Queen Mary's pearl and diamond bow brooch may even fetch a sky-high price of more than 50 million euros. This is simply impossible in Europe!
The last option is to sell it to your Belgian History Museum. This possibility is basically non-existent, so I said you have no chance, so don’t think too much! "
After hearing these words, what else could Gatlink and the others say? Nothing you say is in vain!
"I can tell, Steven, you are an extremely greedy guy, exactly like the legend. This top-notch jewelry must have no chance with us!"
"What a pity! Such a precious treasure has been hidden in Brussels for more than two hundred years. No one discovered it, but it finally fell into the hands of a guy like you. How unfair is God!"
While Gatlink and Jürgen were filled with emotion, they also looked at the Ghent father and son not far away, their eyes full of sympathy and pity!
The same goes for everyone else at the scene. Everyone looked at the Gents and his son with eyes full of sympathy, and even felt that they were extremely pitiful!
As for Ye Tian, he didn't bother to deal with the pair of antique swindlers. Maybe this was their retribution.
At the same time, Mattis and Taylor, who were at the scene, were secretly on high alert.
Not only were they on guard against the Ghent father and son to prevent them from suddenly losing their minds and revolting, they were also secretly guarding against the two Belgian policemen. Those two guys may not be reliable either!
After admiring the pearl and diamond bow brooch for a while, everyone's attention shifted and looked again at the table leg in Ye Tian's hand.
Judging from the fact that he is still holding the table leg and not putting it down, there is obviously something in the table leg, maybe it is another priceless piece of top-grade jewelry.
"Steven, what treasures are there in that table leg? Take it out and let everyone open their eyes!"
Joseph said excitedly, his eyes fixed on the table leg in Ye Tian's hand.
"Okay, I also want to see what other treasures are hidden here? Maybe it will be another huge surprise. If that is the case, that would be great!"
With that said, Ye Tian stood the table leg upside down again and poured out a small bag wrapped in white satin.
The moment they saw this white satin bag, everyone immediately understood that this was another piece of top-quality jewelry that Queen Mary sent to Brussels, but was secretly intercepted by her sister.
The reason why everyone came to this conclusion is for no other reason than that the Bourbon dynasty logo on the white satin bag is exactly the same as the one seen before.
After receiving the white satin bag, Ye Tian did not open it immediately. Instead, he pretended to look at the hidden compartment on the table leg, shook the table leg, and then said with a chuckle:
“There is nothing else in it, which is a bit of a pity. I was also looking forward to discovering the diamond necklace that Louis XV specially ordered to be made by the top jeweler in Paris in order to please his mistress, Madame Dubarry.
According to legend, the famous diamond necklace is inlaid with 647 diamonds, weighing 2,800 carats, and is worth two million livres. It is said to be an 'unprecedented' level of luxury.
Although Louis XV customized the diamond necklace, he died too early and suddenly, without having time to pay for it. After many twists and turns, the necklace finally fell into the hands of Queen Mary.
It would be perfect if I could find that diamond necklace today! It would definitely cause a huge sensation, but obviously, the unprecedented diamond necklace was not inside the table leg! "
As he spoke, Ye Tian placed the table leg in his right hand on the ground, preparing to dismantle the newly discovered white satin bag.
"Steven, I have to say that you are really greedy to the extreme. You actually want to find that famous diamond necklace. You are so greedy that a snake swallows an elephant!
For the French, the famous diamond necklace that has caused countless commotion is definitely a national treasure among national treasures. Once it appears, it will definitely shock the whole country.
Because of the diamond necklace, Louis XV was notorious for breaking his promises. Because of the diamond necklace, a cardinal was arrested and directly dismissed from office.
Also because of that diamond necklace, Queen Mary was completely convicted of "misleading the country". It can be said that that diamond necklace was an important inducement of the French Revolution!
For that famous necklace incident, the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas also specially created a historical novel, "The Queen's Necklace". From this, we can know the importance of that diamond necklace!
Unfortunately, according to legend, that priceless diamond necklace was misappropriated by the famous female liar Jenny, and was dismantled and sold separately on the black market, never to be seen again! "
Gatlink said angrily, but there was a bit of regret in his eyes. Who doesn't want to see a miracle happen again?
While speaking, Ye Tian had untied the small white satin bag in his hand, and the objects wrapped in layers were revealed in front of everyone.
