About half an hour later, Ye Tian and his convoy had just arrived at the Metropolitan Museum.
At this time, the Metropolitan Museum and the surrounding areas are still heavily guarded and the atmosphere is tense. New York police officers with live ammunition, fully armed and on high alert can be seen everywhere.
As soon as Ye Tian and his convoy arrived and stopped on the side of Fifth Avenue in front of the museum, the New York police immediately blocked the north-south direction of Fifth Avenue and the opposite street, and set up a cordon.
At the same time, Mattis got out of the car with many heavily armed security personnel, set up a line of defense around the convoy, and watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.
Immediately afterwards, Thomas, the director of the Metropolitan Museum, came out with several museum executives and a large number of security personnel, along with Jason and Cole.
As they approached, Ye Tian and David also got out of the car and stood in the square in front of the Metropolitan Museum.
"Good afternoon, Steven, are you here? The shootout near our museum this morning, as well as the series of shootouts in Central Park and Lower Manhattan, are all related to you, right?"
Before he could stand firm, Thomas asked impatiently in a low voice, his eyes full of worry.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, smiled and whispered:
"Good afternoon, Thomas, you guessed it right. The series of gun battles that occurred in Manhattan this morning were indeed related to us. The reason why I didn't tell you when I called you this morning was because I was afraid that you would worry.
When we were exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar in Europe, those guys had been following the joint exploration team, waiting for opportunities. Unfortunately, they never found a suitable opportunity to carry out a robbery.
When we returned to New York, who would have thought that those guys were still determined to pursue them all the way to New York, trying to loot the gold and silver treasures and top-notch antiques from the Knights Templar's treasures.
When we left the company in the morning, we found traces of those guys, and immediately notified the New York police to deal with those guys, so there was a series of gun battles.
The performance of the New York police was pretty good. They basically caught all those guys in one fell swoop. Even if some fish slipped through the net, they wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble, let alone affect our art trade.”
Hearing what he said, Thomas couldn't help but smiled bitterly, shook his head, and whispered angrily:
“When I make a deal with a guy like you, I will not only be brutally killed, but I will also have to worry about being involved in huge dangers. The risk is too great.
Who are those idiots from Europe? They actually want to rob you, a cunning guy. I don’t know what they think. They are really asking for death! ”
"Don't worry, Thomas, those idiots are coming for me, and I am confident enough to kill those guys cleanly and without putting you in danger.
As for who those guys are, you don’t need to know. It’s better this way, lest you learn the identities of those guys and cause unnecessary troubles.”
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head and said, his words full of confidence.
"Well, I won't ask so many questions, so as not to cause trouble; back to business, these armored **** vehicles must contain antique cultural relics and religious items from the Knights Templar. ?
Betty and the others have already taken inventory of the Chinese antiques and rare ancient books that our museum has put out for trade. There are quite a few of them. Now we are waiting for you to confirm them in person, and then they can seal them!
According to your request, priceless Chinese calligraphy and painting artworks such as "White Picture at Night" and "Bamboo Bird Picture" have been removed from the exhibition hall. You can personally identify them to determine their authenticity. ”
"Yes, Thomas, these armored **** vehicles contain the antique artifacts and religious items from the Templar treasures used for this transaction. Each of them is of great value and significance. Special.
You can start moving now. Our company’s employees will cooperate and move these treasures into the Metropolitan Museum. When you finish counting and sign for confirmation, these treasures will belong to you."
"Great, Steven, let's get started. To be honest, I can't wait to put those top antique artifacts and religious items from the Middle Ages on display in the museum right away"
"Me too, Thomas, I also wish I could immediately acquire those top-notch Chinese antiques and complete this art transaction. Since everyone is so eager, what are you waiting for? Please do it!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian made an invitation gesture and gestured towards the armored **** vehicles parked on the roadside.
Next, many security personnel from the Met, together with Matisse and the others, escorted the **** convoy to the internal parking lot of the Metropolitan Museum.
Ye Tian and Thomas naturally followed them, directing and supervising the two workers on site to move the antique cultural relics and religious items from the Knights Templar's treasure.
Soon, more than an hour passed.
The antique artifacts and religious objects from the Knights Templar's treasures have been unloaded from five armored **** vehicles and all moved into the Metropolitan Museum's vault, where they are temporarily stored.
It won’t be long before those valuable medieval antiques and religious items will appear in the exhibition halls of the Metropolitan Museum and the Hermitage, officially meeting the public.
After completing these tasks, under the leadership of Thomas, Ye Tian and his group came to a large conference room located in the museum's office area.
As soon as he entered the conference room, Ye Tian saw Betty and Jason, as well as dozens of portable safes, some large and some small, placed in the conference room.
There were so many boxes that they filled the entire conference table and even the floor.
Seeing Ye Tian and others coming in, Betty and Jason immediately came up to them.
As they approached, Betty immediately began to report the situation to Ye Tian.
“Dear, the Chinese antiques and rare books used by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to trade are all here, installed in these portable safes, exactly as stated in the transaction contract.
However, the authenticity of these Chinese antiques and rare ancient books still needs to be authenticated by you. Once the authentication is correct, you can lock these portable safes and transport them away.
In the brown safe placed at the front of the conference table, there is the "White Picture of Shining Night" by the famous Tang Dynasty painter Han Gan. According to your instructions, we are very careful to ensure that the painting is intact."
After hearing the report, Ye Tian did not respond immediately. Instead, he hugged Betty and whispered a few words in her ear.
Then he turned to look at Thomas again, then smiled and said loudly:
"Thomas is an old friend of ours. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has done business with our company not once or twice. I believe they will not use some fakes to fill the bill and deceive us.
Due to time constraints, it is unrealistic for me to appraise so many top-notch Chinese antiques and rare ancient books one by one. In that case, it is estimated that I will not be able to complete the appraisal by noon tomorrow.
Except for the portable safe containing the "White Picture at Night", all other portable safes can be locked. Once I have finished identifying the "White Picture at Night", we will leave the Metropolitan Museum"
These words were very beautifully said. The guys at the Metropolitan Museum felt very comfortable listening to them and nodded frequently.
Of course, they all felt a lot of physical pain, and a trace of regret flashed across the eyes of a few of them. If they had known better, they would have done something!
In fact, as soon as he entered the conference room, Ye Tian secretly turned on X-ray and thoroughly looked through every portable safe placed in the conference room and the treasures inside the box.
He knew instantly the quantity, authenticity, and state of preservation of the top-notch Chinese antiques and rare ancient books, and he knew them better than anyone else.
He knew clearly that the Metropolitan Museum did not tamper with this transaction, using high imitations or fakes to cover up the price in an attempt to deceive himself.
That's why he acted so generously and brightly, directly skipping the step of identifying each one one by one, and saving a lot of trouble.
Following his words, Jason and the others immediately took action, stepped forward and locked the portable safes one by one.
Later, when Ye Tian comes forward to enter his fingerprints and passwords, these portable safes can be transported away.
Looking at the actions of Jason and the others, Thomas and several other senior executives of the Metropolitan Museum had expressions of pain on their faces, and their facial muscles were twitching slightly.
But this heavyweight art transaction that caused a huge sensation has long been confirmed and has become a fait accompli. Even if you regret it, nothing can be changed.
Ye Tian saw all the performances of these old friends from the Metropolitan Museum, and understood their mood very well.
But understanding is understanding, if he wants to tear up the transaction contract and keep these top-notch Chinese antiques and rare ancient books in the Metropolitan Museum, there is no way Ye Tian will agree to it. That is no way!
The place where these priceless treasures should most exist is China and not some other hellish place!
Only in China, in their own private exhibition halls and museums in Beijing, can they shine the brightest!
