In the blink of an eye, it’s another day, the sun is shining brightly, but the weather is very cold.
Just after ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and his convoy arrived at the Hermitage Museum, preparing to negotiate with the Russians to exchange the Amber Room for many of the top Chinese antiques collected by the Hermitage.
At this time, a large number of media reporters have gathered in front of the Hermitage.
Among them are representatives from various Russian media, as well as from major news media around the world, all waiting for the press conference after the negotiations.
Even in the Winter Palace Square, countless Russians who had heard of the news gathered together, rubbing shoulders and looking around, the whole square was filled with human heads. The scene was very lively and exaggerated.
These Russians are very excited and full of expectations. Everyone wants to witness the historical moment when the magnificent Amber Room returns to Russia and St. Petersburg again.
Although it was very cold in St. Petersburg in the early morning, and gusts of north wind kept blowing from the Baltic Sea, it could not withstand the enthusiasm of many St. Petersburg citizens and many Russians.
Especially those Russians who are carrying bottles of wine in their hands. As long as they have vodka, even a knife from the sky cannot stop them.
As Ye Tian and his convoy arrived, there was an immediate commotion in the Winter Palace Square. Everyone looked at the huge convoy and started talking about it.
"That guy Steven is here, and the scene is really exaggerated. Just like every time he appears on the stage, he is always so high-profile, flamboyant, and arrogant!"
"Whether he is high-profile or not has nothing to do with us, and there is no need to care. What I am most concerned about now is whether the subsequent negotiations will go smoothly and whether the Amber Room can return to Russia!
If the deal is completed and the Amber Room is successfully exchanged, that would be great! It would be even better if the Hermitage could avoid being robbed by this **** Steven! ”
While people in the square were talking a lot, Ye Tian and David, who were sitting in the bulletproof SUV, were also looking at the situation outside through the car window.
"Wow! The scene today is so exaggerated. So many people came. It’s like these Russians came to attend a carnival"
Looking at the huge crowds of people on the Winter Palace Square, David couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
Ye Tian looked out the car window, then said with a smile:
“This is not surprising. For the Russians, the meaning of the Amber Room is so special and important. Before the end of World War II, they began to search for the Amber Room.
Over the past seventy years, both the former Soviet Union and Russia have never stopped trying to find the Amber Room, and have established a special department directly under the top leadership for this purpose.
Revolving around the search for the Amber Room, the KGB of the former Soviet Union and the East German secret police fought countless times with CIA agents and West German agents across Europe, but no hair was found.
Now that the Amber Room has reappeared in the world, it has fallen into our hands, and there is hope of returning to Russia and St. Petersburg. Russians who have longed for it for a long time, can we not be excited about it! ”
Hearing this, David couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
While speaking, Ye Tian and his convoy had already passed by the edge of the Winter Palace Square and drove straight to the internal parking lot of the Hermitage Museum.
Seeing this scene, many media reporters guarding the entrance of the Hermitage Museum couldn't help but lamented in disappointment, but they were helpless.
Similarly disappointed were some people with ulterior motives in the crowd. They looked at the motorcade driving into the parking lot inside the museum, their eyes flashing with greed and full of hatred.
But how do these guys with ulterior motives know that their every move has already fallen into the eyes of others.
Those who stared closely at them either pretended to be tourists and mingled with the crowd, or they hid on the high-rise buildings around the Winter Palace Square, staring at them through telescopes or sniper rifles from a high position.
As soon as they make a move and take the initiative to attack Ye Tian's convoy, they will immediately encounter the most fatal blow, be killed directly, and fall into hell!
Ten minutes later, Ye Tian and the others were already in the Hermitage Museum. They were greeted and accompanied by Mikhail and several other familiar old friends.
As soon as he entered the museum, Mikhail said to Ye Tian:
"Steven, there is still half an hour before the agreed start time of the meeting. Should you go to a certain exhibition hall in the museum to visit? Or go directly to the conference room where the meeting will be held?
The presidential envoy from the Kremlin, as well as several officials from the Ministry of Culture and the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg are on their way here, and they will arrive at the museum in another ten minutes."
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then said with a smile:
"Mikhail, let's not visit the exhibition hall. Half an hour is too short, and we can't see many antiques and art. It's not troublesome enough. Maybe I will become the target of the visit instead.
Let's go to the vault where the box of golden amber sidings I brought is stored. I'm going to take out the box of golden amber sidings and show them to us later during the meeting, which will be more intuitive! ”
"Okay, Steven, you are so cunning, and you do everything you can. This is obviously aimed at the presidential envoy! Trying to impress the other party and grab greater benefits!"
Mikhail nodded helplessly and said, while his teeth were itching with hatred.
"Hahaha, Mikhail, it seems that I can't hide my thoughts from you. Yes, I just want to create a strong visual impact on your presidential envoy, and then on the president himself.
With those dazzling golden amber sidings in the Amber Room, this effect can be achieved. You also know that I am a businessman, and it is natural to pursue maximizing profits."
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, without concealing his purpose at all.
"Of course I know you are a businessman, and the most greedy and ruthless businessman in the world"
Mikhail said angrily, and raised his hand to make a please gesture.
Next, Mikhail took Ye Tian and the others towards the direction of the vault.
While traveling, Ye Tian continued to chat with this old friend.
"Mikhail, last night I sent you a list of Chinese antiques and artworks that I want to exchange for the Amber Room. After reading the list, what do you think? Can you tell me? I'm very interested. ! ”
"Don't worry, Steven, you will know what we think when the negotiations start later"
Mikhail continued, although his tone sounded relaxed, his facial muscles twitched involuntarily, all falling into Ye Tian's eyes.
While they were talking, the group of them had arrived at the stairs leading to the underground vault, stepped onto the stairs one after another, and walked towards the vault located underground in the museum.
Soon, half an hour passed.
Ye Tian and the others were already in the conference room where the negotiations were taking place. They were standing at the conference table, concentrating on admiring the antique artwork on the table. Everyone looked intoxicated. !
The antique artwork that fascinated them was the golden amber wall panels from the Amber Room. They were placed on the conference table, making the entire conference room look magnificent and magnificent, like a palace!
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door from the door of the conference room.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Mikhail led a group of Russians into the conference room, including familiar old friends and unfamiliar faces.
Without exception, these Russians were completely attracted and even shocked by the golden amber panels placed on the conference table as soon as they entered!
Even Mikhail, who had already seen and appraised these golden amber sidings, looked fascinated, let alone the other Russians.
"Wow! This is the golden siding of the Amber Room. It is so brilliant and dazzling! It is simply incomparably beautiful and mesmerizing!"
A rather exaggerated exclamation sounded at the scene, coming from a Russian in his forties or fifties.
With his words, the other Russians at the scene immediately woke up.
