1 Matthew's mood quickly calmed down, and the worry in his and Evelin's eyes also disappeared. They had no intention of interfering with Logan's idea of participating in the treasure hunt.
Since it is a joint treasure hunt with Columbia University and the Costa Rican government, it must be very safe, and there is no need to worry about anything happening to Logan.
This is not like Steven’s previous treasure hunts, which are scary to hear.
While acquiescing to Logan's participation in this treasure hunt, Matthew and his wife were also shocked in their hearts.
This guy Steven is so generous! More ambitious! What a crazy guy to be planning such a high-level treasure hunt!
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian found an opportunity and whispered in Betty's ear:
"Dear, take out the gifts we brought"
"Okay!"
Betty responded excitedly.
Then she immediately stood up, pulled a suitcase next to her, put it on the floor and opened it.
Looking at the actions of Ye Tian and Betty, Matthew and the three of them were a little surprised, but they didn't say anything. They just watched in confusion and waited for the result!
The answer will be revealed soon!
Betty first took out an oak box containing wine from the suitcase and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of her. Then she took out a picture frame wrapped in white cloth and placed it on the coffee table.
After doing this, she immediately closed the suitcase again, pushed it aside, and sat back on the sofa.
It’s Ye Tian’s turn!
He stood up from his seat, picked up the oak box with both hands, walked over and gave it to Matthew.
"Mr. Walter, I came to Boston to visit this time. I didn't know what gift to bring, so I brought you a bottle of red wine. Please accept it and express your feelings. I hope you like this gift."
"Thank you, Steven, this is a great gift, I will accept it!"
Matthew did not pretend to be polite or decline, and reached out to take the oak box.
However, when he saw the logo and font on the oak box clearly, his expression immediately changed and his breathing became rapid!
And his eyes were full of surprises and expectations!
Without a moment's pause, he immediately put the oak box on the coffee table, suppressed his excitement, and quickly opened the oak box.
Immediately afterwards, everyone heard an exclamation, the voice was full of surprise, followed by a series of praises!
"Oh my God! 1947 Cheval Blanc, Bordeaux, France! The best vintage of Cheval Blanc, one of the top red wines in the world, a collectible red wine, so rare! It is definitely a rare wine!"
While exclaiming, Matthew was so excited that he could hardly sit still.
He stretched out his hands and gently rubbed the bottle of 1947 Cheval Blanc red wine, his movements extremely careful and gentle! For fear of causing any damage to this bottle of top-quality red wine! It's nothing more than this when facing your first love.
Seeing him in this state, Ye Tian and Betty immediately looked at each other and smiled, both very happy.
Obviously, for Matthew, this bottle of red wine is the perfect gift, there is no other choice!
My father-in-law likes to drink red wine and also likes to collect red wine. Ye Tian is following his liking, and it will naturally lead to disadvantages!
After intoxicated appreciation and identification, Matthew just woke up, then looked at Ye Tian and said:
"Steven, I can't accept this gift, it's too expensive! But I still want to thank you for your thoughtfulness and letting me see the top-notch red wine. Although I can't own it, I am satisfied!"
"Matthew, is this bottle of red wine expensive? Isn't it just a bottle of red wine? How expensive can it be!"
Evelin interjected and asked in confusion.
“This is a collectible and rare wine. The 1947 Cheval Blanc wine is a product of the best vintage and was produced in the Saint-Emilion region of Bordeaux, France.
This bottle of red wine is worth 130,000 U.S. dollars, and it has a price but no market. I can’t buy it anywhere with the money, so I said I can’t accept this gift. It’s too expensive! "
Matthew explained quickly and then pushed the oak box back to Ye Tian with a look of reluctance!
"Oh my god! A bottle of wine worth $130,000, am I not dreaming? Or am I hallucinating?"
Evelin and Logan both exclaimed, looking at the bottle of red wine in the oak box in shock and at Ye Tian who looked at ease!
This guy Steven is so generous, he deserves to be a billionaire, and he doesn’t use US dollars as money at all!
130,000 U.S. dollars only bought a bottle of red wine, and gave it away as a gift. How willing it was!
You know, Matthew only earns a little over 100,000 US dollars after working hard for a year. This is a pre-tax salary, and it will definitely shrink significantly after paying taxes.
The living expenses of my family throughout the year depend on this salary! Life is pretty good, more than above and below!
But the money from Steven is not even worth a bottle of red wine! Just let it go out casually, this world is so ridiculous!
Logan and Evelin both felt a little dreamlike and unreal for a moment, and so did Matthew!
"Mr. Walter, accept this gift. This is not an expensive gift. Betty once told me that you like to drink red wine and collect red wine, so I thought of giving you red wine!
There was a special sale of ‘rare and fine wines’ at the New York Autumn Auction, and I happened to attend the event. This bottle of red wine was taken at that time, and is a gift specially prepared for you! I hope you won't refuse! "
Ye Tian explained the reason with a smile, and pushed the bottle of Cheval Blanc wine back to Matthew.
"Dad, just accept this bottle of red wine. This is Steven's wish. Don't refuse it anymore! Besides, we don't want to take it back to New York again, so why don't we just mess around with it?" ? "
Betty interjected and tried to persuade her father.
After hearing these words, Matthew couldn't help but start to hesitate, and he was constantly fighting in his heart.
Are you accepting this bottle of top-quality red wine? Or accept this bottle of top-notch red wine? Or accept this bottle of top-notch red wine?
Matthew couldn't think of any reason to refuse at all. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he didn't want to refuse at all and was unwilling to refuse at all, so he couldn't find any reason!
This bottle of red wine is so tempting! How to get people to refuse?
After hesitating for a moment, he made a seemingly difficult decision.
"In that case, I will accept this bottle of red wine. Thank you, Steven. This is the best Thanksgiving gift I have ever received. It is simply unparalleled!"
When he said this, his face was already flushed with excitement, his hands kept stroking the oak box on the coffee table, and he was not willing to move it away for a moment!
"You're welcome, Mr. Walter, it's just a bottle of red wine. If you like it, that's best! This is its greatest value!"
Ye Tian said politely, my father-in-law has completely taken down the pole!
As soon as he finished speaking, Logan immediately continued:
"Dad, why don't you open this bottle of red wine now? Let me have a taste of top-quality red wine. A bottle of red wine worth 130,000 US dollars must be extremely sweet! It's intoxicating!"
"Stay there for a while! What good things are you thinking about!"
Evelin scolded with raised eyebrows, but her expression was very excited.
In her eyes, this is definitely not as simple as a bottle of red wine. It will be the most valuable collection in the family and a huge fortune!
"This bottle of 1947 Bordeaux Cheval Blanc red wine will be my most important collection from now on. No one can touch it. You kid wants to taste it. Don't even think about it! That's no good!"
Matthew glared at Logan and said decisively.
From now on, I will point to this bottle of red wine and draw a portion! Drink it? dream!
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the living room, free and clear!
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian picked up the picture frame again, gently removed the white cloth covering it, and then displayed the painting in front of everyone.
This is an oil painting on canvas, about 30*40 in size. It depicts Venice, Italy. It can be identified from the large number of buildings facing the water and the gondolas coming and going on the river. Number!
The painting looks very historical. The previous maintenance environment may not have been ideal. The frame is a bit old and the picture is slightly faded, but it is not serious! It does not affect the appreciation of the painting.
This painter's painting skills are very good. Whether it is landscapes, buildings, ships, or people, he paints them all very well, with a vague sense of master style.
Unfortunately, this painting is not signed by the author.
If no relevant records can be found in the literature and the inheritance cannot be verified, it will be difficult to prove which artist the painting was from, and the value of the painting will be greatly reduced.
But here in Ye Tian, these problems do not exist at all!
He understands better than anyone else which artist's work this is, and he understands the artistic value and market value of this painting even more!
Looking at the paintings displayed in front of them, Matthew and the others were fascinated by the beautiful scenery and the artist's superb painting techniques, and they couldn't take their eyes off the oil painting!
The same goes for Betty. Although she has admired it several times and saw it again, she is still impressed by the charm of art!
After showing it for about two or three minutes, Ye Tianfang smiled and said:
"Mrs. Walter, I plan to give this oil painting to you as a Thanksgiving gift. I hope you will like it, and I also hope that this oil painting can decorate this home more beautifully!"
After speaking, Ye Tian placed the oil painting in front of Evelin.
"Ah! Steven, you really want to give me this oil painting? Did I hear you right? What an outstanding piece of art this is! It's so beautiful!"
Evelin woke up, immediately exclaimed, and asked in disbelief.
What followed was a series of compliments!
Obviously, she loved this painting!
