Three o'clock in the afternoon, company conference room.
Ye Tian's voice kept coming, and video materials were being played on the white projection screen. The content was naturally about the numerous stolen antiques and art works hidden under the Old North Church.
In addition to the seven people in the morning, there were more than twenty new faces in the conference room.
Among them are directors or deputy directors of major museums, several famous collectors, and top art dealers, all of whom are well-known figures in the field of antique art collection.
In addition, representatives from several well-known art insurance companies such as AXA and Chubb are also present!
There is also Joey, the head of the FBI Art Crime Unit, and an FBI deputy director from Washington.
The remaining people are Ye Tian, David and his two assistants, Jason and Mathis.
While the video material was playing, the discussion in the conference room never stopped and continued to reach everyone's ears.
"Oh my God! These art thieves are so crazy. They actually looted so many top-notch antiques. It's incredible!"
"According to the old guy Julian, this is only part of it. The art thieves also have a large number of stolen antiques and art, all of which are top quality!
That gang of **** has stolen more than just major museums in the United States. Their footprints have spread almost all over the world. They are the top art criminal group in the world today!
I am sure that once these **** are caught, they will cause a sensation in the whole world, and the field of antique art collection will bear the brunt. A huge tsunami is inevitable! "
"These art thieves are certainly crazy, but this **** Steven is even more hateful! This **** actually wants to swallow up 50% of the stolen top antique art, and he is not afraid of being choked to death!"
Speaking of this, many people turned to look at Ye Tian. Everyone's face was very ugly, and they were gnashing their teeth in hatred!
As for the person involved, Ye Tian was smiling and chatting in a low voice with David sitting next to him, completely ignoring everyone's hostile looks.
Ye Tian and the others are very excited, success is close at hand!
However, there were even happier people at the scene, namely Joey and the deputy director of the FBI.
At this time, both of them were so excited that they were almost crazy with excitement. If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, they would have cheered and celebrated!
They never expected to see this scene, with so many heavyweight museum directors, famous collectors, and top art dealers!
The scale of the international art criminal group in Boston and the number of top-grade antiques stolen were completely beyond their imagination!
What would happen if this top art crime syndicate were destroyed in his own hands? It’s so exciting to think about it and it’s crazy!
Several art insurance company executives are also very excited. The large compensation that they originally thought was wasted is now expected to be recovered. Can they be unhappy?
But when they thought about having to pay a large bounty and being robbed crazily by that **** Steven, they were a little unhappy!
What a huge wealth that is! Who can give it up?
More than ten minutes passed quickly, and all the video materials related to everyone present had been played.
Jason put away his laptop and placed it in front of Ye Tian.
Negotiations restart! It's time for a close fight!
Someone couldn't wait to speak out. He was the director of the New York Gallery, and he was also an old friend!
“Thank you very much, Steven, for finding the whereabouts of these stolen antiques. It’s a blessing for all of us and for those who have stolen antiques.
But thank you, thank you. We will never agree to your conditions. You want to get 50% of the stolen antique art. Is this too much of an appetite? Absolutely ridiculous! "
"That's right! That's simply impossible! You must know that there is a high reward for every stolen top antique piece of art. That is already a huge fortune. You can't be too greedy!"
The director of the Art Institute of Chicago echoed, with a rather ugly look on his face.
If you want to take advantage of your brother, there is no way!
Without paying a price that satisfies my friend, no one can get the exact information, let alone find the stolen top antiques.
Ye Tian smiled softly and immediately launched a counterattack.
“Gentlemen, take a long-term view and don’t just focus on the stolen antiques and artworks in front of you. As far as I know, there are quite a few top-notch antiques and artworks flowing out from the hands of those art thieves!
After careful search, I found a stolen goods record in that warehouse, which recorded all the stolen top antiques and artworks that had been stolen from those **** in the past few decades. It was very detailed!
I did a rough calculation and found that the number of stolen antique artworks that have been sold off far exceeds the number currently hidden in the warehouse, even up to twice as many."
The conference room immediately exploded before I finished speaking
“Oh my god! There is actually a record of selling stolen goods, that’s great!”
The first people to jump up and cheer were Joey and the deputy director of the FBI. The two of them were almost crazy with excitement.
If this record of stolen goods does exist, they know better than anyone what it means.
That means countless stolen top antiques and artworks, an astonishing amount of wealth, and it also means many famous collectors who will soon be discredited!
"Does this mean we can recover the same batch of stolen antiques? Or even antiques stolen at other times. If so, that would be perfect!"
The director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art jumped up from his seat and cheered forgetfully.
In 1999, their museum was robbed and five top-quality antique artworks were stolen, but this time he only saw two on the video material, and the remaining three were nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, he suddenly heard that there was a list of stolen goods that recorded all the stolen goods sold by the art thieves. How could he not be overjoyed?
The reactions of other people in the conference room were almost the same. Everyone's face was red with excitement, their eyes were shining, and they were cheering!
This reaction is right, this is what I want to see most!
Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet and control their emotions.
The conference room quickly became quiet, and everyone looked at Ye Tian expectantly, expecting to hear something more shocking.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued with a smile:
“There is a famous saying in the collection industry, ‘Famous paintings will always be stolen.’ I believe that the antiques stolen from various museums and collectors are more than just the ones shown in the video.
As long as you get this record of stolen goods and follow the picture, you can recover a large number of stolen antiques and art. By then, everyone will gain more than what you see in the video, there will definitely be more!
I have no desire to covet the stolen antiques and artworks on the stolen goods list. You only need to pay the reward. The target of my request for a share is only the existing goods in that warehouse.
In this way, your probability of recovering stolen antique art will be greatly increased, probably as high as 70 to 80%, or even higher. In comparison, are the conditions I have offered excessive? "
Hearing this, some people couldn't help but start to think about it secretly.
From this point of view, the conditions offered by this **** Steven are not unacceptable. Overall, the share ratio has indeed been reduced a lot.
Especially those museum curators who had a lot of stolen antiques and art and didn’t see a few pieces on the video were already inclined to agree to Ye Tian’s conditions!
There are also several insurance company executives. In their opinion, as long as the list of stolen goods is true, they can completely agree to Steven's conditions.
My company can still bear this price, and this loss may not necessarily be borne by the insurance company. The gang of art thieves and unscrupulous collectors who collect stolen goods are the ones who should bear this cost!
Of course, everyone has some doubts in their eyes.
Is there really such a list of stolen goods? Don't let this **** Steven make it up. It's just to add weight to the lion's mouth!
"Perhaps you think what I say is baseless and may not be credible, so I will provide strong evidence. The most recent stolen record on the list is "George Dale" by the famous British painter Francis Bacon.
If I guess correctly, the unscrupulous collector who purchased this famous painting, as well as the famous painting itself, have fallen into the hands of the FBI Art Crime Group, am I right? Joey! "
After saying that, Ye Tian turned to look at Joey, his eyes full of confidence.
Damn bastard! It turns out you know everything!
Joy cursed secretly, then nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes! We did catch this unscrupulous collector in Boston and also seized Francis Bacon's famous painting, which was "George Dyer" that was stolen in London a few years ago.
Following this clue, we conducted an in-depth and detailed investigation, but unfortunately, this group of art thieves is well-organized, sophisticated, and hidden too deeply, so we have not been able to find any trace of them.
We are temporarily unable to reveal the identity of this unscrupulous collector who collected stolen goods, but we can tell you about the Francis Bacon painting.
The famous painting was disguised with special paint, and no trace of the original work could be seen on the outside. Special glasses were required to see the famous painting hidden under the special paint.
Since Steven knows the existence of this famous painting, it means that he has indeed seen the record of the sale of stolen goods. The credibility of what he said is very high. The record of the sale of stolen goods should indeed exist! "
After finishing speaking, he immediately looked at Ye Tian, his eyes full of expectation, looking forward to seeing the alluring list of stolen goods immediately.
But Ye Tian didn't look at him at all, but stared at the museum owners and famous collectors who were dancing with excitement.
"Steven, our museum accepts your conditions in principle. You can get one of the two stolen works of art that appear on the video screen!
But this matter still needs to go through some procedures. After all, the museum does not belong to me. We have to have a meeting to study it and give you an answer later. The answer should be yes! "
The Philadelphia Museum of Art was the first to change its stance and raise the white flag.
"Our museum is the same. We can accept your conditions. As long as the case is solved, the three Chinese ink landscapes will belong to you! Of course, you have to communicate with AXA Art Insurance Company!"
Issac from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston said loudly, with a pained expression on his face.
He couldn't disagree, because they were the museum that suffered the most from those art thieves.
In the past twenty years, there have been more than one thefts in their museum, and the stolen top-notch artworks were not just the six in the video material, but many more.
Judging from the current signs, these thefts are probably the work of this gang of art thieves in Boston. Who keeps them close? This is the so-called first-come-first-served approach!
As soon as Isaac finished speaking, the senior executive of AXA Art Insurance Company spoke up!
"Steven, our insurance company accepts your conditions in principle, but we still have to go through some procedures! It shouldn't be difficult to pass!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately clenched his fists and cheered secretly.
"Done! I'm rich!"
Not only was he celebrating secretly, David and his assistant, as well as Jason and Matisse, everyone's eyes showed a look of ecstasy.
