Chapter 409: A Surprising Heavy Treasure (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)

Upstairs, the room where the old-fashioned vault is located.

Ye Tian opened the door of the heavy and sturdy vault and walked in alone, ready to take out the few heavyweight antique artworks that were about to be auctioned, and take them downstairs for those Sotheby's experts to identify.

By the way, it also opened their eyes and shocked these professionals!

Even at Sotheby's New York, it's not uncommon to see top-notch artworks like Pollock!

In order to avoid suspicion, Jason did not enter the room, but waited outside the door, waiting for Ye Tian to open the door again and beckon him in.

Soon, Ye Tian took out the few antique artworks, put them on the table in the room, and closed the door of the vault again.

Then, he reached out and pulled the door hard to make sure it was closed, and quickly rotated the mechanical combination lock a few times, completely disrupting the code and ensuring the safety of the vault.

All the movements are very careful and very careful!

After doing that, he opened the door and let Jason in.

"Jason, you take these two paintings, I'll take the Portland vase, let's go downstairs together and shock those Sotheby's experts!"

Looking at the three objects on the table, Jason asked curiously:

"Steven, these two paintings are top works of art I understand, one is the work of 'Picasso South America' Guayasamine and the other is the work of Pollock, and they must be of extraordinary value!

But what is the value of this Portland vase? Is it also a top antique? As far as I know, the real Portland vase has always been in the British Museum, and it can't be the real thing!

The Portland vase is unique, and that's all we know, how can a Wicky Wood replica compare to Pollock? I don't understand how you attach so much importance to it!"

Not only Jason has this question, but I'm afraid everyone except Ye Tian is puzzled by this and doesn't understand the value of this Portland vase!

But they didn't question it, as long as Steven said that this was a top-quality antique art, it definitely didn't run!

That's all for sure, because Steven has never looked at it before, and this time will not be an exception!

Previously, Ye Tian had not explained the matter of this Portland vase, and now, he did not plan to explain!

"Jason, who says a replica isn't worth anything? This Portland vase isn't necessarily worth less than Pollock's paintings, or even more!

Regarding the specific situation of this vase, I will give an explanation later, which is enough to solve the mystery in your heart, go downstairs, those guys downstairs are probably already looking forward to it!"

Ye Tian said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, let's go downstairs, I'm looking forward to the moment when the answer is revealed!"

Jason nodded in response, glancing at the Portland vase again, his eyes still full of curiosity.

Then, the two walked out of the vault room and went downstairs with three top-quality antique artworks!

This does not include General Sherman's marching notes, which are still vacuum-packed and kept in a safe in the vault!

Ye Tian hadn't come up with a foolproof plan for how to deal with this note, and he hadn't thought of how to squeeze out the maximum value of this note and bring the greatest benefit to himself.

Therefore, he does not plan to send this note to the auction for the time being, and is ready to keep it in his own hands, and slowly consider how to deal with this note.

Of course, his operation will definitely make many people very disappointed and even more itchy!

But what kind of green onion are they? Ye Tian cares about whom! Who do you love!

In the eagerly awaited eyes of everyone, Ye Tian and Jason appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, holding several top artworks that everyone had been longing for a long time and wanted to see their true faces.

Like Jason and the others, when they saw the Portland vase in Ye Tian's hand, all the appraisal experts present were stunned, their eyes full of incredulity!

How did Steven carry a Portland vase? Is this a top-notch antique work of art? How is that possible?

Everyone knows very well that it is definitely a replica! If it is a real Roman Portland vase, it will definitely make a sensation all over the world, worth five or six hundred million dollars!

Why does a replica make Steven value it so much? Is this guy blind? It's too unlikely to happen! Who has ever heard of this guy walking through his eyes?

In an instant, everyone's heads are full of question marks and curiosity!

"Ladies and gentlemen, these are the top antique works of art that everyone is eager to see, and I am going to send them for auction, three of them, a vase, and two paintings!

Everyone, please come with me to appreciate these antique works of art, and then you can start to appraise and give your most professional and authoritative appraisal opinions and conclusions.

I believe that you will be able to harvest surprises and enjoy the unique charm of these top artworks, and I hope you can also surprise me and give me the most desired and beautiful answers!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, full of confidence between his words.

Then he walked into the dining room with a vase, where there was a huge solid wood dining table, which was undoubtedly the best place to display it!

Many Sotheby's experts followed, excited and curious!

Walking to the dining table and standing up, Ye Tian immediately said to Jason:

"Jason, you hold these two paintings and wait on the side, I'm going to show the Portland vase first, to solve everyone's doubts, lest everyone continue to be tormented by curiosity!"

"Okay!"

Jason nodded in response and stepped aside, looking curiously at the Portland vase.

The rest of the audience is the same, waiting for the answer to be revealed!

Ye Tian didn't start showing it immediately, but continued to arrange.

"Walker, Raymond, the answer will be revealed soon, and then everyone's emotions may be more excited, and there may be relatively large body movements, damaging this vase!

All the two of you have to do is to protect this Portland vase, don't let too many people approach it at the same time, only allow two people to visit at a time, and line up to admire it, no room for error!"

"Okay! Steven, we know what to do!"

Walker and Raymond answered in unison, then walked over to the table and stood up, ready to carry out their mission.

Because they had to escort antique art to Sotheby's later, Mattis's team was heavily armed, wearing body armor and armed with automatic rifles.

At this moment, Walker and Raymond stood at the table with automatic rifles in their hands and murderous awe, and the air in the entire restaurant suddenly froze, and the temperature seemed to have dropped by several degrees!

"Hissβ€”β€”!"

Seeing this scene, many appraisal experts couldn't help but gasp! They looked at Ye Tian in amazement, at Walker and Raymond who were holding rifles, and at the Portland vase!

As for the fanfare, is it exaggerated? Could it be that the Portland vase is really a top treasure?

After a pause, Ye Tian said aloud again into the living room:

"Anderson, bring me the probe tools I prepared, and my laptop, I'm going to give you a live demonstration."

"Okay!

Anderson answered, then came to the restaurant with a few devices and laptops, and handed them to Ye Tian.

It's an endoscope with its own display, and two cameras with cranks.

Endoscopes are very common in hospitals, mainly used to check the internal conditions of the human body, and are a very important medical device.

But it's not only used in the medical field, but also in the field of antique authentication, which is also an important tool!

Especially when identifying antique porcelain, it can play a major role, as long as it is an expert in antique porcelain, almost everyone has one!

It can be used to check the internal condition of vases and other utensils, check whether there are hidden secrets inside, whether there are cracks, special marks, traces of counterfeiting, etc., which is very useful!

This set of endoscopes that Anderson brought over is used for this, Ye Tian plans to use it to show the interior of the Portland vase and reveal the answer for everyone!

The two cameras with cranks also play this role, using them, you can clearly show the situation inside the vase on the laptop, in front of everyone's eyes!

After taking these devices and checking them a little, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will see a fascinating set of images that will reveal the secrets of this Portland vase, and you must be eager to know the answers!

With that, he picked up the endoscope and carefully inserted the probe into the mouth of the Portland vase.

The eyes of all the identification experts at the scene were staring closely at the monitoring screen of the endoscope, and each pair of eyes was full of expectation and curiosity
