Just after nine o'clock in the morning, David and many New York visitors arrived at the Regina Hotel.
Without exception, these guys were all very excited, not caring about the fatigue of the long journey. After putting their luggage in the rooms Ye Tian reserved for them, they immediately poured into Ye Tian and his group's floor.
When these old friends walked into the presidential suite where Ye Tian lived, they were immediately stunned by the scene in the suite. They all froze on the spot with their mouths open and gasped!
After a while, these guys woke up, and screams of exclamation began.
"Oh my God! Steven, please don't tell me that these things covered with white cloth and packed in boxes are all valuable antique works of art. Isn't this too exaggerated? Did you loot it? The Louvre? ”
David pointed at the many antique works of art in the suite and exclaimed loudly, his eyes almost bursting with shock.
"This is really crazy, Steven, before we set off from New York, we heard rumors that you ransacked the Saint-Ouin Flea Market and caused a **** tragedy!
To be honest, I still didn’t believe it at the time, but at this moment, I am extremely convinced that the famous Saint-Ouin flea market may have suffered the craziest looting in history! "
Larry from the Sotheby's auction house said, his expression still very shocked and his eyes full of disbelief.
The rest of the New Yorkers were the same, with their eyes widened as they looked at the antique artworks in the suite, as if they couldn't believe that all of this was real.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and gave a very positive answer.
"Gentlemen, everything you have seen and heard before is true. I did gain a lot at the Saint-Ouan flea market and found many valuable antiques and art.
The antique artworks placed in this suite are only part of it, but they are the most valuable treasures. The value of any antique artwork here is no less than two million US dollars!
The rest of the antique artworks of slightly lower value are placed in several other rooms. After admiring the treasures here, you can go to appreciate the antique artworks. The scene will be even more shocking! ..."
Before the words could even be finished, the scene was already boiling over again, and David and the others were exclaiming like crazy.
"Oh my God! There is not an antique piece of art here worth less than two million dollars? Really or not? Did I hear that right? What a huge fortune this is!"
"I thought that was all. Who would have thought that there are more antiques and artworks? There must have been a lot of people jumping into the Seine in Paris last night. They were probably all antique dealers at the Saint-Ouin Flea Market!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian immediately continued:
"Is there any antique dealer who jumped into the Seine? I haven't heard any news about it. Last night, a group of guys came for these antiques and art. As a result, they were all killed by the guns of the Paris police and reported to hell! ”
"I know, Steven, no matter where you go, you will not only take away the treasures there, but also bring endless killing and bloodshed to the local area, and beautiful Paris is no exception!"
"That's right, Steven, your crazy behavior of chasing down those Pink Panther scum in the streets of Paris has been spread all over the world, even if we are as far away as New York, we also watched the live broadcast!
Especially the shot of you holding the Pink Panther scumbag's ankle and dragging the body onto the bank of the Seine. It was so exaggerated and **** that everyone on the live broadcast was frightened! "
Everyone said with emotion, and everyone's eyes were filled with fear, even a little bit of fear.
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian pointed to the large number of antique artworks covered with white cloth and packed in boxes in the suite, and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, if you are not too tired, then start appreciating and appraising these antique works of art. You have all seen the number. This is a difficult task and will definitely take a long time!
I can assure you that every piece of antique art here is authentic and not a single one is fake. Although I don’t think it is necessary to re-identify it, some procedures are still necessary.
After the appraisal is completed, we can sign the consignment auction agreement and the short-term art insurance contract on site. Next, these antique artworks will be moved to a banquet hall downstairs.
Customs officers will then come to verify the quantity, price, and other relevant information of these antique artworks, and collect customs duties. Then these antique artworks can leave France!
Let me tell you in advance that every piece of antique art here has legal certification documents, its origin is clear, and there are no problems. The customs tax paid is also based on my purchase price!
As for how to transport them safely back to New York, this is what you have to consider. You are all well-known auction houses and art insurance companies in the industry, so there must be ways! "
After hearing what Ye Tian said, everyone at the scene nodded. Everyone was extremely excited and full of confidence!
These guys are very familiar with Ye Tian's ability to appraise antiques and art, and know that he will never be wrong. This appraisal is just a formality!
Furthermore, the people who came to Paris this time were either representatives from New York's three major auction houses or art insurance companies, and were not the final buyers of these antiques.
The authenticity of antique artworks actually has little to do with them.
These antique works of art are real, so naturally everyone is happy and everyone gets something! If it is fake, the worst possible outcome is that the auction will be rejected, and there will be no loss!
Of course, the three major auction houses may suffer some reputational losses, which can also be easily solved. A wrong appraisal can completely shift the blame!
As for the two art insurance companies, the risks they bear are even smaller.
They just need to ensure that this batch of antique artworks is safely transported to New York, sent to the vaults of the three major auction houses, and is not robbed or switched midway, and then they are done!
"Great, Steven, let's get started now. We still feel tired after seeing so many valuable antiques and artworks, but everyone is energetic and motivated!
I heard that you found several Impressionist oil paintings at the Saint-Ouin flea market, including outstanding works by the Impressionist master Pissarro. Where is that oil painting? Open my eyes! "
Simon, head of Sotheby’s Impressionist and Modern Art Department, said excitedly, “I can’t wait!”
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, gentlemen, let's start now, appreciate and appraise these valuable antique works of art, witness the surprise together, and enjoy this wonderful day!"
With that said, Ye Tian made an invitation gesture, and then led these old friends from New York to the oil painting that was nearest to everyone and was covered with a white cloth!
When he reached out and gently opened the white cloth, everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to the painting, and a sound of admiration soon sounded in the suite!
The appraisal activity officially started, and everyone quickly got involved, appreciating these exquisite antique works of art, feeling the charm of art, identifying their authenticity, and then determining their approximate market value!
On the other side, under the tight protection of Taylor, Lisa, and three other armed security personnel, Betty quietly left the hotel in a GMC nanny car and went out to explore the beautiful scenery of Paris!
