At five o'clock in the afternoon, the talks ended.

After a few hours of deliberation, the two sides have reached an agreement!

In principle, various museums and famous collectors accepted Ye Tian's offer and let him cut off four to fifty percent of the stolen antique artworks!

Of course, this is conditional.

Ye Tian must take out this part of the antique artwork that the whale swallowed, and let the museums and famous collectors buy it back at the market price through private transactions, and get it back to the museums.

This kind of private transaction should be kept confidential by both parties to avoid unnecessary trouble!

In this way, Ye Tian made a windfall, and various museums and famous collectors were able to claim that they had successfully recovered all the stolen top antique artworks, which can be described as a great joy!

As for those Chinese antique artworks that were intercepted by Ye Tian, he would also find Western antique artworks of basically equal value to replace them, and there was no problem.

As before, the agreement between the two parties was verbal and not implemented in the contract.

One is that the museum owners need to go back to the meeting to discuss and make a decision immediately.

Moreover, Ye Tian didn't think about signing the contract right away, it would only tie his hands and feet, but the gains outweighed the losses!

After you have reached an agreement with all the museums and collectors on the list, it is time to sign a contract.

Next, it's time to head to Boston again to dig up this huge treasure and unplug Thompson's art crime syndicate by the way.

"Steven, you promised me that Picasso's peak work, and you must not break your word!"

Isaac came over and said, the old man was still very excited, and his smile was brighter than a flower.

"Didn't you just say that! It's just a metaphor, how can you take it seriously?, Mr. Isaac, of course, if the quid pro quo satisfies me, this deal is not impossible!"

Ye Tian pretended to be surprised and said, but he didn't say anything to death.

"You guy, what a slippery head! Don't worry, the quid pro quo will definitely satisfy you!"

Isaac said angrily, feeling a little helpless.

After a few more conversations, the old man turned back to his seat, ready to pack up and leave.

The others did the same, getting up and preparing to leave.

At this moment, Ye Tian's voice sounded in everyone's ears again.

"Gentlemen, again, we must keep it secret! This matter must not be leaked until the last moment, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! I believe that you and I do not want to face that kind of result!"

"Got it, we definitely care more about the safety of those stolen antique artworks than you, I believe everyone is the same, and they will never leak secrets!"

The director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art nodded, and the rest of the people nodded in response.

Besides, if the gentleman doesn't plan to leave New York for a while, it's best to wait a little longer before leaving, and we'll contact the hotel.

It is very close to the Plaza Hotel, not a few streets, how about arranging for everyone to stay in the Plaza Hotel?

"You're quite generous, but forget it, I can't afford it! When you go back and sign the contract, you kid don't start too dark, then we will be grateful!"

A well-known collector in Philadelphia said, with a wry smile.

"That's right, you guy is so dark, how dare we enjoy your favor!

Another joke is that it is a famous collector from Atlantic City.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Since everyone is not willing to accept this arrangement, then I can save this expenditure, what a good thing, why not do it!

I'm not going to send you off, there are still some things to deal with, Jason will take you away, I wish you all a nice time in New York, enjoy a wonderful winter time, see you back, everyone!"

"See you back, you lucky fellow!"

Everyone said goodbye and left the conference room.

However, two of them were left by Ye Tian, they were Joey from the FBI's Art Crime Unit, and the deputy director from the FBI General Bureau in Washington!

The others had soon left, and the room was closed again.

At this time, there were only five people left in the conference room, Ye Tian, David and Matisse, as well as Joey and the FBI deputy director Joseph!

"Steven, why did you leave us alone, is there anything else?"

Joey asked curiously, slightly puzzled.

"Yes, there are things, and it's not easy for anyone else to know."

Ye Tian nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Tell me about it?"

Deputy Director Joseph interjected, also very curious!

"Museum directors and collectors from other cities will be rushing to New York tomorrow, and as the authority for art crime, I think you should be there tomorrow too"

"That's true, we'll be here tomorrow"

"Mexican and Canadian guests will arrive tomorrow, and perhaps from other countries, not only museum owners and collectors, but also agents from various countries responsible for art crimes.

The day after tomorrow, guests from Asia, Europe, and South America will be sent from Scotland Yard, the French Art Prevention Group, the Italian Gendarmerie and so on.

I can deal with the museum owners and collectors, but I want you to deal with your foreign colleagues, and I don't want to conflict with them, let alone ruin the whole thing!"

Ye Tian explained the situation he was about to face, and his face was more serious.

These antiquities police outside the United States don't know the situation here, and they don't know themselves, who knows what will happen, they have to be guarded against!

Hearing this, Joey and Joseph's expressions also became a lot more solemn.

After a moment's thought, Joseph then spoke:

"Steven, don't worry, we know what to do, these foreign colleagues will deal with us, we will do a good job of communication, and we won't let them do bad things!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and then continued:

"There's another thing, it's about the goods in that warehouse, there are some special circumstances that I didn't tell you about before, and now is the time.

In addition to a large number of stolen antique artworks, there are many other types of antiques in that warehouse, and these antiques are quite numerous, and they also have a certain value in total.

According to my preliminary estimates, the market value of these antiques is about $40 million, and if they are sold separately, they should be able to buy more, but not more than $50 million.

Unlike many stolen antiques, all of them are ownerless, and I ask for a sixty percent share of these antiques, and the rest belongs to you."

Hearing this, Joy and Joseph couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Forty percent of the share, $20 million! What a windfall! It's amazing.

"Steven, do you have a video of these items? You'd better show us it!"

Joseph asked excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Of course, there are video materials, but I just can't show them to you, and if you are allowed to see the text on those crates, it will be a big problem!

God knows if there is a written record of the arms that originally belonged to the 'Sons of Liberty'! If there are relevant records and the storage location, and you find out, then the buddy will not be busy in vain!

"I'm very sorry, Joseph, but I was pressed for time and the value of these antiques was relatively low, so I didn't photograph them"

Ye Tian said nonsense, and the other party said another story if he believed it or not.

"Oh, that's a pity, can you tell me what kind of antiques they are?"

Joseph sighed and said with regret on his face.

But his flickering gaze showed that he didn't believe Ye Tian's words very much.

You guy has always acted well, how can you not shoot video materials?

As for whether they believed it or not, Ye Tian didn't bother to care at all.

After a pause, he continued:

"It was a batch of military supplies more than 200 years ago, including guns, ammunition, military uniforms, etc., which should be related to the American Revolutionary War.

That's why I have to tell you in advance that it's best to be accompanied by someone from the Home Office's Advisory Committee on the Preservation of Historic Heritage when we enter that warehouse, so that we can avoid some unnecessary trouble!"

"Ah! It's a large number of arms from the Revolutionary War!"

Joseph exclaimed in surprise, immediately stood up, and looked at Ye Tian in shock.

Joey, who was sitting next to him, was also shocked by the news!

While shocked, they also realized that this might be the biggest secret of the warehouse!
