At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and the others ended their visit, came out of the warehouse where Chinese antiques and art were stored, and returned to the China Pavilion again.
After returning to the China Pavilion for a short rest and chatting for a while, Benoit got to the point.
"Steven, you have visited all the Chinese antiques in our Palace of Fontainebleau collection. Those that are packed in boxes and are inconvenient to open and view, and you have also seen the relevant catalogs!
I wonder if you have selected the Chinese antiques for this transaction? If you have chosen it, can you tell everyone about it? I'd love to know what babies you have your eye on! "
"All Chinese antiques and artworks in the collection? Why don't I believe it? The number of Chinese antiques and artworks in the Palace of Fontainebleau must be more than just a few thousand pieces, right?"
Ye Tian shook his head gently and said, looking at Benoit with a smile, his eyes full of meaning!
How many antique works of art from the Old Summer Palace are in the Palace of Fontainebleau? When he just visited the antique warehouse, Ye Tian had already understood clearly through perspective!
In the warehouse that Benoit took them to visit, there were indeed only a few thousand pieces of Chinese antiques and art, but in another warehouse across the wall, they were filled with valuable Chinese antiques and art.
The size of that warehouse and the number of Chinese antiques and art stored there were several times, even up to ten times, that of the warehouse they visited!
Obviously, these French guys are playing tricks on them.
The reason is that those Chinese antiques and artworks are stolen goods, treasures looted from the Old Summer Palace by the French army. Making them public will only embarrass the French government and the French people!
If the existence of those antique artworks is known to the outside world, it will definitely attract claims from China, and it will not look good on face. How can the French be willing to give up so many valuable antique artworks!
Instead of getting into trouble for making public those antique Chinese works of art, why not hide those antique works of art?
Perhaps it is based on this consideration that the Palace of Fontainebleau has never publicly displayed those antique works of art, and has never disclosed to the outside world how many treasures from the Old Summer Palace they possess in total!
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Benoit's old face couldn't help but blush, and the other French guys also had the same expression, their expressions were a little embarrassed.
But after all, these guys are all old foxes who have been involved in the field of antiques and art for decades. Their old faces have long been practiced to be thicker than the city wall, and they are just basic skills.
In the blink of an eye, the expressions of these French guys returned to normal.
After a pause, Benoit said confidently:
"Steven, the Chinese antiques and artworks you saw today are indeed the entire collection of our China Pavilion at the Palace of Fontainebleau. There is nothing hidden! Please believe this!"
"Believe you? What nonsense? I only believe in my own eyes! I only believe in everything I see with my own eyes, that is the most real thing!"
Ye Tian complained secretly, with a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.
However, he did not struggle with this issue and could not delve into it. Could it be that he had discovered another warehouse full of antique art from the Old Summer Palace?
He nodded slightly, then smiled and said:
"Okay, Benoit, I will tell you that I have taken a fancy to those antique works of art, and selected them to exchange for Queen Mary's top jewelry to complete this art transaction.
Let’s talk about the antique artworks displayed in the exhibition hall of the China Pavilion first. The first one is the extremely exquisite set of five cloisonne offerings made during the Qianlong period. I want to get them! "
"That set of five cloisonne offerings? You guys are really cunning. Once you sell them, they are the best products in our collection. I wonder if that set of five cloisonne offerings counts as one piece or five pieces of antique art?"
Benoit interjected and asked, his expression a little painful.
"Of course it counts as one piece. It is a set of things. If they are scattered, the value will be greatly reduced!"
Ye Tian said decisively, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Hearing this, the facial muscles of many French guys at the scene couldn't help but twitch. They were all frightened by Ye Tian's amazing appetite!
However, they did not interrupt Ye Tian loudly, but continued to listen, each of them biting their back molars hard.
Ye Tian glanced at these French guys, then continued with a smile:
“The second antique work of art I selected is also displayed in this exhibition hall, which is the three-legged bronze tripod cast in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, that important item of the country!
Everyone knows very well what the tripod meant in ancient China, so I want to bring it back to China and display it in my own exhibition hall. That is where it should exist.
The third piece of antique art is the set of gilt bronze chimes cast in the early Western Han Dynasty. Like the previous five cloisonne bells, the set of sixteen chimes can only be counted as one!
Let’s talk about the fourth piece of antique art, which is the Hetian jade tripod made by Lu Zigang, the master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty. I like that jade very much and want to put it in my study to enjoy and play with!
The fifth piece of antique art I selected is the golden-iron garlic vase from the Ge Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, the sixth piece is the azure glaze brush wash from the Ru Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the seventh piece is the pair of plum blossoms from the Jun Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. bottle!
I have only selected so many antique works of art displayed in the Chinese museum. To be honest, it is very difficult to make this choice. If the quota is not limited, I would like to get all the treasures! "
The French guys headed by Benoit were completely stunned by these words. They all stared at Ye Tian with their eyes wide open, and their eyes almost flew out of their sockets!
It can be seen that each of them is very angry, with livid faces and eyes that want to spit out fire. They wish they could burn Ye Tian directly to relieve their hatred and vent their evil anger!
Ye Tian saw all the reactions of these French guys, but he didn't take it to heart at all. What's wrong with this! There’s still a highlight to come!
Betty and the others also saw the angry expressions of the French guys. They all tried their best to hold back their laughter and prevent themselves from laughing out loud, which would not look good!
Before Benoit and others could refute, Ye Tian continued to say with a smile:
“After talking about the antique artworks displayed in the China Pavilion, let’s talk about the treasures we just saw in the antique warehouse. There are also many antique artworks that make me excited!
Let’s talk about porcelain first. The first one is the Guan Er vase from the Northern Song Dynasty. The second one is the Ming Yongle blue and white hexagonal vase with folded branches, flowers and fruits. The third one is the pair of plum vases from the Longquan kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Chenghua doucai press. Hand cup!
After talking about porcelain, let’s talk about calligraphy and painting works. Because of those stupid French soldiers, your collection of Chinese calligraphy and painting works is not very large, but there are also fine works, which makes me very excited.
I like the "Picture of Fishing" by Li Tang, a famous painter of the Southern Song Dynasty and the pioneer of vigorous and vigorous ink painting in the Southern Song Dynasty. I really want to hang it in the study and enjoy it every day..."
Next, Ye Tian listed a series of top-notch Chinese calligraphy and painting works, each of which can be called a truly priceless treasure, the best among the best!
Listening to the list of Chinese antiques and artworks he reported one by one, Benoit and the others were so angry that their noses were almost smoking. Each of them suppressed their anger and stared at Ye Tian, wishing to tear him into pieces. Feed the dog!
So, as soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, Benoit exploded completely and roared at the top of his lungs.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Steven, you are an extremely greedy bastard. I have never seen a greedier and crazier **** than you!
Until this moment, I didn’t understand Martinez and those guys from the Guimet Museum. You are indeed not just talking like a lion, you just want to loot our museum!
It's undeniable that Queen Mary's top-notch jewels are indeed very attractive, but is it a bit too much to exchange them for the entire collection of a museum? "
Looking at Benoit with red face and angry eyes, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
Then he took the medicine as prescribed, used the same rhetoric he used against Martinez and the guys from the Guimet Museum, and used it on Benoit and the others!
