Behind him is a blond white lady, about forty years old, wearing professional attire. It can be seen from the name badge that she is a staff member of MOMA.
"Madam, are you calling me? We don't seem to know each other!"
Ye Tian looked back at the other party, pointed back at himself and asked in surprise.
"Yes! Mr. Steven, we have never met, but I know you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Grace, and I am the secretary of Director Julian. Welcome to MOMA!"
The white lady behind me introduced herself and acted very politely.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Grace, you are so beautiful! What can I do for you?"
Ye Tian said politely and shook hands with the other party.
"Thank you for your compliment! The person who is looking for you is not me, but Mr. Julian, the director of our museum. He came to the exhibition hall around 9:30 and happened to see you.
You were admiring the art at that time and were very focused. He didn't interrupt you. He didn't ask me to come over until now. He wanted to invite you to the office and said he had something to discuss. Is that okay? Mr. Steven! "
Grace explained the reason and then extended the invitation.
Hearing these words, Ye Tian suddenly understood.
Brother, you are not appreciating the art. At 9:30, you are absorbed in absorbing the spiritual power from those top-notch works of art and enjoying the hearty pleasure. Of course, you are very focused!
As for why Julian invited him to the office, Ye Tian knew it very well.
MOMA has two stolen top-level works of art in the hands of Thompson and his gang, each of which is worth a lot of money. Yesterday afternoon, Julian had already seen the videos of the two stolen works of art.
Seeing myself here now, is there any reason to miss it?
In the original plan, Julian was supposed to go to the Rockefeller Building today and wait and suffer in the company conference room. Who would have expected that he would meet him here? This old guy is lucky!
"Of course, I also want to meet Mr. Julian, let's go there now!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, accepting the invitation.
"Thank you, Mr. Steven, please follow me!"
After saying that, Grace took Ye Tian towards the stairs.
The MOMA office area is in a high-rise building next to it. Although the two buildings are connected together, they still need to leave the exhibition hall.
Julian is an old white man in his sixties. He is a distant relative of the Rockefeller family and has a slight blood relationship. This should be one of the reasons why he became the director of MOMA.
The more important reason is that he is a famous art appraisal expert, especially in the field of modern art. He can be regarded as an authoritative person with an outstanding reputation!
The management ability is also quite outstanding. Under his leadership, MOMA has made great progress in recent years. The achievements are obvious to all. Everyone has to give him a thumbs up and praise him!
Ye Tian and this famous person in the city have known each other for a long time. During the New York autumn auction season that just ended, Julian once appeared at the Sotheby's auction and held up placards to compete for several top works of art in Ye Tian's hands. .
But it is a pity that he failed to succeed in the end and lost to those billionaires with a lot of dollars in their pockets, so he could only go back in anger!
Because everyone has known each other for a long time, there are not so many polite words.
After greeting each other for a few words and asking his secretary Grace to leave the office, Julian immediately went straight to the topic.
"Steven, can you tell me the exact location of the two stolen top works of art? Who are those international art thieves? In which city? It should be in the United States, right?
Those two stolen top-level works of art belong to MOMA’s collection and we must recover them! Since the theft occurred in 2010, we have never given up on the pursuit, but unfortunately we have not gained any results!
Surprisingly, you found them, so cool! This is the best news I have heard recently. I hope you can tell me the relevant information and let those two top works of art return to MOMA! "
"I'm very sorry, Julian, to disappoint you. I can't provide relevant information for the time being. I understand your desire to recover the stolen art, but there are conditions.
I am a professional treasure hunter, and treasure hunting is my business. Since it is a business, it should be for the purpose of profit. You listen to my request first, and then we will continue the discussion..."
Ye Tian shook his head and rejected the other party, and then began to show his ambition.
As he spoke, the smile and expectation on Julian's face quickly disappeared, and were replaced by horror and anger in an instant.
After saying a few words, the old man’s eyes widened with anger and he clenched his fists. He wished he could smash the hateful smiling face opposite him with his fists. Only in that way could he relieve his hatred!
Fortunately, he has good self-control and understands that he is no match for the **** opposite him. He suppresses his anger and does not burst out for the time being!
For about five minutes, Ye Tianfang finished speaking.
He briefly introduced the situation of the gang of art thieves, and also made very clear conditions. In addition to offering a reward, he must obtain one of the stolen art pieces.
At the same time, he also warned Julian not to act rashly! Secretly tracking down these art thieves will only alert the enemy, and the consequences will be disastrous! No one can bear it!
After he finished speaking, he looked at Julian with a smile, looking forward to the other party's answer.
"Bang!"
Julian slammed his palm on the desk angrily, and the sound sounded very scary, making people worried about whether his palm would be shattered and fractured!
The next moment, he pushed away the chair and stood up, his eyes widened and he roared:
"You want to get one of the stolen works of art! That is simply fantastic and impossible! Steven, you are truly the most ruthless and greedy **** I have ever seen. This is a clear robbery!"
"Calm down, Julian, don't be so angry! You and I both know that the probability of recovering stolen art is so low that it is almost negligible!
However, I can increase this probability to 50%, and it is very stable. From this point of view, do you still think my request is too much? "
Ye Tian simply ignored the other party's anger and still maintained a bright smile.
"You are taking advantage of the situation! I must remind you that these two stolen works of art have been registered and listed in the catalog of stolen antique works of art, and cannot be circulated in the market at all.
In addition, this theft case is under the jurisdiction of the FBI Art Crime Team, and they have been following up on this case. I think you don’t want to be approached by FBI agents. That would be very troublesome! "
"Julian, you and I both understand that the antique art market is divided into black and white, and the channels for the circulation of stolen antique art have always existed and are very smooth.
As for the FBI Art Crime Team, there is no need to worry. I have already met those guys before you, and they don’t know any more than you! "
"Ah!"
Julian exclaimed and was dumbfounded.
This **** **** has actually considered everything, there is nothing he can do about it! Those guys at the FBI are just a bunch of idiots! It’s of no use at all!
Seeing his dull look, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
"Although only two stolen works of art from MOMA were found, as far as I know, in the theft case in 2010, not only two top-level works of art were stolen from MOMA, but four!
If as expected, the other two top-quality works of art have been sold by this gang of art thieves. As long as this case is successfully solved, there should be no problem in recovering the other two famous paintings.
I have no intention of getting involved in the other two famous paintings, as long as there is a reward. In this way, you can get back three stolen works of art in total, and the ratio reaches 75%. What a cost-effective business! "
Hearing this, Julian's eyes suddenly lit up, his anger subsided a lot, and his eyes looking at Ye Tian became a little gentler! No longer act like the enemy who killed his father!
What this **** said makes sense. As long as we catch the art thieves and follow the clues to recover the other two famous paintings that were stolen, it doesn't seem too difficult!
However, Julian still felt heartbroken at the thought of having a top-notch painting taken away by Ye Tian, and he could not make up his mind.
There is a door!
From the surprise flash in Julian's eyes and the ever-changing expressions, Ye Tian immediately confirmed that the old man opposite him was a little moved!
Just add more ingredients! Maybe you can win it in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately said:
"Julian, I am a professional treasure hunter who aims to make money, not a collector. I will sell most of the antique artworks I get through auctions and convert them into US dollars.
If you really don’t want to give up the famous painting you gave me, you can participate in the auction, buy the famous painting at the auction venue, and bring it back to MOMA. Wouldn’t everyone be happy? "
"It's easy to say, they are all top-notch paintings, each worth at least 15 million US dollars. How can we have so much money? How many tickets do we need to sell to get 15 million US dollars?"
Julian said angrily, sitting down on the chair, a little frustrated.
The emotions have almost been vented, and he has calmed down a lot!
"MOMA may not have the budget, but you can discuss it with the wealthy Rockefeller family. MOMA was built by them alone and is their mother museum!
Since the establishment of MOMA, their family has been the largest donor and the largest investor. They will definitely not be stingy with US$15 million. To them, it is just a drop in the bucket! "
When he said these words, Ye Tian had a completely obedient attitude, but a trace of a cunning smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
It would be great if I could kill the Rockefeller family!
Hearing this, Julian was stunned for a moment, then angrily raised his right hand and slapped it directly on the desk. He was obviously very angry!
Although I am a distant relative of the Rockefeller family, I am still related by blood. I can barely be considered a member of the family, and I am also the curator of MOMA.
You **** dares to openly plot against the Rockefeller family in front of me. You are so courageous and unethical!
The moment his palm was about to fall on the table, he suddenly stopped.
Maybe it’s because you’re afraid of pain. After all, no matter how hard your palm is, it’s still made of flesh. Who wouldn’t feel pain when slapped on a solid wood table?
Julian quickly changed from patting to pushing, pushed the chair away, and ran away as if he was electrocuted.
Immediately afterwards, angry roars echoed through the office again.
"Fake! Steven, you are a complete bastard, so insidious!"
