It was not until noon that Ye Tian and the others left St. Paul's Cathedral and returned to the Ritz Hotel where they were staying.
At this time, the entrance to the largest banquet hall in the Ritz Hotel was already crowded and lively.
Many top collectors, top art dealers, antique art appraisal experts, representatives from major auction houses, and representatives from many museums from all over the UK and even from around the world have gathered here.
Everyone of them has eyes shining with excitement, and everyone is looking forward to it, waiting for Ye Tian to arrive, waiting for the luxurious banquet hall in front of them to open the door and let everyone enter.
At around 1:30, a private antique art display will be held in this ballroom.
Everyone at the entrance of the banquet hall, without exception, came for this high-level private exhibition.
The antique artworks that will appear in this private exhibition all come from the Knights Templar treasures that were just discovered the day before yesterday and caused a sensation in the whole world. Each piece is valuable and rare.
Of course, this does not include those Christian holy relics that have disappeared for at least seven hundred years and shocked the whole world once they were discovered.
Those Christian holy relics are currently on public display in St. Paul's Cathedral and are being visited by believers. They will never appear here!
Even so, the level of this private exhibition is so high that it has almost never appeared in the field of Western antique art collection, and it has become the focus of much attention
For these professionals who were invited, today’s private exhibition can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must not be missed!
All those who were invited also received a lot of videos and pictures, which contained detailed information about the antique artifacts and gold and silver treasures contained in the Knights Templar treasure in London.
Through those videos and pictures, these professionals quickly determined their goals, and then came with checkbooks and full of confidence. Everyone seemed destined to win.
It was less than ten minutes until 1:30, and the door of the banquet hall was still closed. The several armed security personnel guarding the door of the banquet hall with loaded weapons still had the look and expression of not letting strangers in.
Not only at the entrance of the banquet hall, but also around the banquet hall, elevators, and stairwells, almost every place was filled with armed security personnel with live ammunition, and everyone was on high alert.
In the hotel lobby downstairs and on Piccadilly Street outside the hotel, there were many London police and soldiers with live ammunition, one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps, making the atmosphere in the whole street quite tense.
In the view of the London police, the two most dangerous places in London now are St. Paul's Cathedral, where a grand celebration mass is being held, and the Ritz Hotel.
They don’t want the **** fight that happened at the Temple Church to happen again in London and turn the Ritz Hotel, just a stone’s throw away from Buckingham Palace, into a hell. Do they dare not be cautious?
It was getting closer and closer to 1:30 noon, and the entrance to the banquet hall became noisier.
"Why hasn't that guy Steven shown up yet? It's so exciting. I really want to enter the banquet hall right away and appreciate the antiques from the Middle Ages and even earlier periods."
"Just now at St. Paul's Cathedral, I saw that guy Steven. He was standing next to the Pope. He was very beautiful. It's hard to say when he will return to the Ritz Hotel!"
Everyone at the scene commented one after another, and everyone was a little anxious as they waited.
At this moment, Ye Tian's clear voice suddenly came from behind the crowd and reached the ears of everyone near the entrance of the banquet hall.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I am Steven. Sorry to keep you waiting. Welcome to London. Thank you very much for coming to the Ritz Hotel for this private showing. Yes! ”
Hearing this, everyone gathered at the door of the banquet hall, waiting to enter, turned their heads and looked towards the elevator.
As everyone turned their heads, they immediately saw Ye Tian and David walking quickly, as well as several armed security personnel accompanying them.
Seeing the arrival of Ye Tian and others, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and they became even more excited.
"Good noon, Steven, you are finally here. If you wait any longer, I should fall asleep. We came all night from Los Angeles, and we didn't even have time to get over the jet lag, so we rushed to the Ritz Hotel ”
The director of the Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles said with a smile. He was in high spirits, and there was no trace of fatigue.
Ye Tian stepped forward and shook hands with this old friend, and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, James, nice to see you here, welcome to London, welcome to my private presentation, I hope you can gain something and return with a lot.
The Getty Museum is one of the richest museums in the world, and it owns top-notch business jets. Why do you need jet lag? Go to London Heathrow Airport as soon as you wake up! ”
After making a few jokes, Ye Tian shook hands and said hello to several top antique art appraisal experts from the Paul Getty Museum and several other top collectors also from Los Angeles.
After taking a few steps forward, two top British collectors came up to them. One of them asked expectantly:
"Good afternoon, Steven, I wonder if you still have the Crusader knight equipment of King Edward I and the Earl of Lancaster? If so, I would like to keep those antique relics as my own.
I also want to get the golden crown of King Edward I, even at any cost, but I know that is simply impossible. The British royal family will never allow that golden crown to fall by the wayside! ”
Not just him, everyone gathered at the door of the banquet hall, one by one, who doesn't want to take into his pocket those priceless treasures that are closely related to the British royal family? No exception!
"唰"
Everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, expecting his answer to this question.
Ye Tian looked at the top British collector across from him, then glanced at the crowd, then shrugged with regret, and said loudly with a smile:
"I'm very sorry, Edward, and gentlemen, the Crusader equipment of King Edward I and the Earl of Lancaster, as well as the most important golden crown of the Plantagenet Dynasty, may very well be with you. No chance.
Of course, at this upcoming private exhibition, everyone can see and appreciate the priceless antiques, but they are not among the antiques that can be traded today.
I have reached a preliminary agreement with the British royal family to exchange those priceless treasures for some high-quality Chinese antiques and art. If nothing unexpected happens, this antique art transaction should be completed smoothly.
In case the British royal family cannot meet my conditions and the deal falls through, I will inform you at that time that friends who are interested in those priceless treasures can also trade with me for Chinese antiques and artworks of equal value."
"Hey! No chance!"
There was a sigh, and a look of disappointment flashed across everyone's face.
"We are not the British royal family. How can we have so many collections of high-quality Chinese antiques and art to trade with you to satisfy your amazing appetite?"
Edward said with a wry smile, his disappointment palpable.
While talking, Ye Tian and David had arrived at the door of the banquet hall.
At the same time, Jason and other company employees who were staying in the banquet hall to set up the exhibition had received the news and immediately opened the door of the banquet hall.
As the door of the banquet hall opened, the guys gathered at the door immediately stood on tiptoes, stretched their necks, and began to look into the banquet hall. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
Unfortunately, there was a tall screen erected inside the banquet hall door. Apart from two sets of security equipment on both sides and numerous armed security personnel with live ammunition, everyone did not see anything else.
"Gentlemen, this private exhibition will begin soon. Please line up and enter in an orderly manner. When entering the banquet hall, everyone must undergo security checks. Please understand and cooperate.
My security personnel are responsible for all security matters inside and outside this banquet hall. Please rest assured that it is very safe here. I hope you all have a good time here."
Ye Tian’s clear voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.
"Pa bang bang"
Warm applause suddenly sounded, and everyone gathered at the door of the banquet hall was applauding.
Amidst the applause, Ye Tian nodded again to everyone present, and then led David and the others into the banquet hall.
