It was a peaceful night, and in the blink of an eye it was a new day.
Just after breakfast in the morning, a large number of volunteers and protestors who had left last night because of the cold began to return, once again blocking the entrance to the Four Seasons Hotel, and the number of people was even greater than yesterday!
The slogans, banners, and flags of different colors and sizes they held were much more than yesterday, and they were more targeted. They were obviously prepared.
Of course, there are also people watching the excitement, tourists from all over the world, etc.
There are also reporters from major news media. These guys are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. How could they miss such a lively scene? It would be great if they don't secretly stir up trouble.
By about nine o'clock in the morning, two to three thousand people had gathered around the Four Seasons Hotel. Standing at the door of the hotel, it can be said that there are flags fluttering and a sea of people. The scene is extremely lively!
Ye Tian and the others were accustomed to this kind of situation outside the hotel door, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it. They just raised the alert level appropriately.
Because they had to deal with a large number of antique artworks swept from the Milan Canal Antique Market, Ye Tian and the others did not plan to leave the hotel today, so they did not have to worry about getting caught in the sea of people outside.
However, the Milan police were very nervous and seemed to be facing an enemy.
They sent a large number of police officers to the Four Seasons Hotel to maintain order on the scene, lest the protest would be exploited and eventually turn into a riot.
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, the first batch of guests that Ye Tian was waiting for passed through the surging crowd and finally arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.
These customers come from several top auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's, as well as four of the top art insurance companies such as AXA.
Among them are managers, department heads, clerical staff, lawyers, antique art appraisal experts, etc. from major auction houses and art insurance companies, as well as many heavily armed security personnel.
A group of dozens of them walked into the Four Seasons Hotel, causing quite a sensation.
Same as before in Florence, Ye Tian does not plan to take the antique artworks swept from the Milan Canal Antique Market back to New York, but plans to dispose of them on the spot to save trouble!
Milan is the most prosperous city in Italy and one of the economic centers in Europe. The antique art auction market is developed and mature enough to digest this batch of antique art.
Of course, this does not include Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, "Lisa Gradini" and a few antique works of art from China.
As for Bowie’s harvest, he will take it back to New York and slowly sell it in the New York antique art market, and even the entire American antique art market, to maximize profits!
After personnel from major auction houses and art insurance companies arrived, Cole and the others immediately began to conduct identity screening to ensure that there were no guys with ulterior motives mixed in, trying to fish in troubled waters.
After verification one by one, these guys have no problem with their identities and are trustworthy.
Afterwards, these professionals were able to enter the floor where Ye Tian and the others were located, and then started working.
In the following time, they began to identify the antique artworks from the Canal Antique Market one by one, and then signed a consignment auction contract and the corresponding art insurance contract.
In order to avoid being plotted by others and ensure that his own interests are not violated, Ye Tian gives a valuation for each piece of antique art and sets a reasonable auction reserve price!
While busy, time passes quickly.
At nearly 12 o'clock in the morning, Jason flew to Milan with two company employees and rushed to the Four Seasons Hotel.
In addition, some Italian super-rich people, such as Maria and Berlusconi, who were publicly named by Ye Tian, have their art agents calling one after another to inquire about the purchase of "Lisa Gradini"!
In addition to them, there are many senior executives of famous museums, top art dealers, and top collectors who also called, also coming for "Lisa Gradini".
Among them are many top collectors and famous museums from Italy, as well as famous museums and top collectors from other parts of the world. All of them are very enthusiastic and sincere!
The emergence of "Lisa Gradini" has shocked the whole world, attracted the attention of countless people, and attracted countless coveted eyes.
For these purchase requests, Ye Tian used the same excuse to excuse them.
He told these potential buyers that the appraisal work of "Lisa Gradini" has not yet been completed. Only after the appraisal work is completed will he consider transferring this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci or auctioning it to the public!
In fact, he had another reason for doing this!
His purpose lies in the ancient street near Sforza Castle, the possible former residence of Leonardo da Vinci on that street, and the secrets hidden behind it.
If Leonardo da Vinci's former residence is really on that street and there is some secret hidden, then the line of Latin on the back of "Lisa Gradini" must not be leaked in advance!
You can only sell "Lisa Gradini" after you have discovered Leonardo da Vinci's former residence, or bought that ancient building, or even that street, and completely mastered the hidden secrets.
By then, even if people knew that that street was closely related to Leonardo da Vinci and that Leonardo’s former residence was on that street, it would be too late.
The reason why Ye Tian recruited Jason and the others from New York was to do this.
The time soon came to around three o'clock in the afternoon. The appraisal work of many antique artworks was finally completed, and the consignment auction contract and art insurance contract were also finalized.
Next, you can transport away those valuable antique artworks.
In view of the situation outside the Four Seasons Hotel, for safety reasons, the auction houses and art insurance companies decided to use air transportation to move the antique artworks after discussions with the art insurance company.
Soon, helicopters from several top art insurance companies flew over the Four Seasons Hotel and began the transfer work!
Ye Tian's two medium-sized helicopters are responsible for escorting.
After coordination, two police helicopters from the Milan police also joined in to provide **** and prevent accidents.
Some guys with evil intentions who were mixed in the crowd at the entrance of the hotel couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed when they saw this scene, but they had no choice but to watch.
It didn't take long for all the antique artworks that Ye Tian brought from the Milan Canal Antique Market to be transported to major auction houses and stored.
In the next few months, or even a year or two, these antique artworks will appear one after another at major auctions in Italy, continuously bringing Ye Tian huge wealth.
Not all antique artworks have been entrusted to the auction house. Ye Tian still has several very good Chinese antique artworks in his hands, which will be shipped to Beijing soon.
After the last batch of antique works of art were transported by helicopter, the staff of the auction houses and art insurance companies were also preparing to leave and return to their respective companies for business.
However, Ye Tian retained the managers of four top art insurance companies.
After everyone else said their goodbyes and left, he said to the four managers of the art insurance company:
"Gentlemen, the reason why I keep you here is because I have a big business to entrust to you. I hope that the four of your companies will jointly underwrite "Lisa Gradini" with an insurance amount of 2 billion euros!"
Before he finished speaking, the four managers of the art insurance company jumped up from the sofa as if they were electrocuted, holding their heads in their hands and exclaiming.
"Oh my God! Did I hear you correctly? Steven, are you going to hand over the insurance business of "Lisa Gradini" to several of our companies?"
"Wow! The insurance amount of 2 billion euros is definitely a business that has never been done in the field of art insurance. It is simply crazy!"
Looking at these four almost crazy guys, Ye Tian nodded with a smile and said:
"You heard it right, gentlemen, I do want to hand over the insurance business of "Lisa Gradini" to you, and it must be a joint underwriting, with at least two insurance companies participating.
The reason why I ask your four art insurance companies to jointly underwrite the insurance is to put it bluntly, it is to allow your companies to check and supervise each other, so as to better protect my interests.
The insurance amount is 2 billion euros, which is correct. The reason why I set this astonishing amount is based on the value of the "Mona Lisa". To be honest, this amount is still a bit low.
There is no doubt that as far as a single piece of antique art is concerned, this is definitely the largest art insurance in history. It is unprecedented and unprecedented. Once announced, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.
When we come to Italy and Milan this time, we still have a lot to do. It is impossible to take "Lisa Gradini" with us all the time. That would cause a lot of inconvenience and is also very unsafe.
For safety reasons, I will choose your four art insurance companies to jointly insure this priceless treasure. Only in this way can we free up our hands and feet to do other things.
Of course, if you want to take over this lucrative business, you must meet some of my conditions. The first is to keep it secret. You must not reveal the location of "Lisa Gradini" to the outside world.
Secondly, you must ensure the absolute safety of this priceless treasure, otherwise your four art insurance companies will face sky-high claims of up to 2 billion euros, and you cannot lose a penny.
Once you accept this business, I will personally put "Lisa Gradini" into a portable titanium safe, seal this priceless treasure, and then hand it over to you.
Or I will store this Leonardo da Vinci painting in a safe in front of you. No one of you can open the safe or the safe without my permission.
This masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci has been hidden for more than a hundred years. Coupled with its long history of more than five hundred years, it is already quite fragile. Any careless act may destroy it.
I can tell you clearly that this is a short-term art insurance contract. It will not be long before I start to deal with this oil painting, or sell it, or auction it to the public.
Even so, this art insurance business is still very profitable, and it will also bring huge attention to several of your insurance companies. It is a golden advertising opportunity! "
Hearing Ye Tian's words, the four art insurance managers couldn't help but fell silent.
After a while, one of the buddies said:
"Steven, I must admit that this business is extremely tempting, but it is too big. We don't have such a big decision-making power and must report it to the highest level of the company.
One more thing, if our four art insurance companies jointly underwrite insurance, it will inevitably involve many issues, and our companies will also need to coordinate..."
