Antwerp, located on the Scheldt River in northwest Belgium, is Belgium's largest port city and an important industrial city, and is also the world-famous diamond capital.
At the same time, it is also a famous cultural center and tourist city in Europe. Every year, countless tourists from all over the world come to visit this city.
People are attracted to this city for three reasons.
The first is the well-preserved ancient buildings in the old city full of medieval atmosphere; the second is the mysterious diamond processing and trading; the third is the world-renowned painting art and numerous museums.
Especially many female tourists come here for Antwerp’s reputation as the diamond capital of the world and its dazzling jewelry and diamonds.
As long as a woman who comes to Antwerp has enough money in her pocket, she can buy the diamonds she wants here and return home with a lot of money!
On the streets of Antwerp, one can often see many female tourists with beaming faces and happy faces. After walking a few steps, they stretch out their hands and take a closer look!
Needless to say, she must have just bought a beloved diamond ring.
Of course, you can also see sullen women on the street with their heads bent on calculators. These women must be sullen because they don’t have enough funds to buy diamonds!
In the city of Antwerp, there seem to be only two types of women, those who have bought diamonds, and those who have not yet!
As the capital of diamonds, eight out of every ten uncut diamonds in the world have to be processed in Antwerp, and more than half of the world's polished diamonds also come from Antwerp.
In addition to the large quantity and exquisite cutting technology, the price of diamonds sold in Antwerp is also about 30% cheaper than other regions.
There is another reason why customers love Antwerp!
Every diamond sold by jewelers in this city is a 'non-conflict' diamond protected by the United Nations, at least on the surface!
In other words, the profits earned by major jewelers from selling diamonds in Antwerp will not be used for violence, military, and terrorist activities.
When people buy diamonds in Antwerp, they will get a guarantee to ensure that your hard-earned money will not be used for bad things!
All of this combined makes it difficult not to be impressed by those dazzling diamonds as soon as you come to the city of Antwerp, so you can donate generously!
Like most tourists who come to Antwerp, Ye Tian and Betty also come for diamonds.
And their purpose is very clear, pointing directly at the focus of the city of Antwerp today, the huge fancy vivid blue diamond ‘Oppenheimer Blue’, which is bound to be obtained!
At around 9:40 in the morning, the heavy-duty convoy that Ye Tian and his crew were riding in left the highway and officially entered the city of Antwerp.
The same goes for the two medium-sized helicopters, roaring from the sky and flying over downtown Antwerp!
The Brussels police and two police helicopters who followed Ye Tian and the others and escorted them all the way stopped or began to hover in the air when they arrived at the edge of Antwerp city.
Seeing Ye Tian and his convoy entering the city of Antwerp, the Brussels policemen breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, they changed direction and returned to Brussels along the original road!
On the way back, each of these guys was secretly glad that they had finally sent away those plague gods from the United States. Next, they would give their colleagues in Antwerp a headache!
In fact, the senior officials of the Antwerp police were really having a headache at this time. They were all feeling as if they were facing a formidable enemy and were extremely nervous!
As soon as Ye Tian and his convoy entered the city of Antwerp, several police cars from the Antwerp police followed them, including a police armored car with a heavily armed special police team inside!
In the blink of an eye, these Antwerp police cars dispersed, quickly separating Ye Tian and his heavy convoy from other vehicles to prevent unexpected situations.
Fortunately, although these police officers were nervous, they behaved relatively friendly.
On the way to Antwerp, Ye Tian had already contacted the auction house holding today's jewelry and diamond auction and expressed his willingness to participate in the auction.
Auction houses naturally welcome a super rich man and famous person like him who spends generously, not to mention he is also a top professional treasure hunter and antique art appraisal expert!
More importantly, Christie's auction house is hosting this top jewelry and diamond auction. It has always had a good relationship with Ye Tian. They have dealt with it many times and will not refuse his participation.
While Ye Tian was still on the road, Christie's auction house had already taken action and reserved the best seats in the auction house for him and Betty, waiting for their arrival!
The guys at Christie's auction house are all smart people. They have already guessed that the reason why Ye Tian and Betty came all the way to Antwerp to participate in this auction must have a purpose and it was definitely not a random act!
Those guys were even sure that Ye Tian and Betty came here for the finale of today’s auction, ‘Oppenheimer’s Blue’, and only that giant diamond was worth Ye Tian’s trip!
After confirming that Ye Tian and the others were about to arrive in Antwerp, the Christie's auction house immediately notified the Antwerp police and asked them to help with security work!
Now that the whole world knows that Ye Tian is carrying the top-grade jewelry that once belonged to Queen Mary, plus the top-grade jewelry and diamonds that will be unveiled today, how can Christie's auction house dare to be careless!
Because of this, when Ye Tian and his convoy entered the city of Antwerp, the Antwerp police did not stop the convoy and give them a warning!
For the managers of the city of Antwerp, they very much welcome the arrival of generous super-rich people like Ye Tian to contribute wealth to the city!
The only pity is that although the super-rich man who came today is very generous, he is also very dangerous, which inevitably makes people a little worried!
As soon as the convoy entered the city of Antwerp, Ye Tian said to Matisse through the invisible earphone:
"Matisse, inform the guys to go to the Christie's auction house on Diamond Street in Antwerp. I just got in touch with the person in charge of the Christie's auction house!
When the convoy arrives at Diamond Street, one of their vice presidents and security chief will greet us at the intersection of Diamond Street, and contact the street management to lower the roadblocks at the intersection.
You can drive directly into Diamond Street and park at the entrance of Christie's auction house, where two medium-sized helicopters are parked on the helipad, and the Antwerp police will give instructions!
Don't pay attention to the guys following us for the time being. The security standards on Diamond Street are very high today. Those guys behind may not have the guts to follow us into Diamond Street! "
"Understood, Steven, I will inform the guys right now! You are right, the guys following you are basically jewelry thieves from all over the world, and they are the targets of major jewelers' precautions.
In today's situation, without disguise and with their courage, they would not dare to break into Diamond Street in an open manner. That would be simply asking for death and delivering food to the police! "
Mattis responded in a deep voice, his words full of confidence.
Then he mentioned some other things to note, and then Ye Tian ended the call.
Then he turned to look out the window, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window with Betty. The scenery in Antwerp is still very interesting, no worse than Brussels, each has its own merits!
At the same time, many people on the streets of Antwerp also noticed this heavy convoy that crashed into their city.
In the blink of an eye, people figured out who was coming in these Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs, and there was a commotion on the streets of Antwerp.
"Farke! Isn't that **** Steven in Brussels? Why did he come to Antwerp? This is not a good thing! I hope God bless Antwerp!"
"Isn't that guy Steven here to hunt for treasure? Didn't he find some treasure in Antwerp? If that's true, that would be too bad! Maybe someone will be robbed crazily again!"
