Chapter 620: Harvest Continues (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Rewards)

The first deal was completed quickly, and the results were all happy!

Blanton left the Bartley Hotel with his Gardner Museum entourage and twelve of the top antique artworks that had been recovered!

Of course, at the same time as they were excited, they were also in pain, and they secretly didn't know how to curse Ye Tian!

That's 320 million dollars! Anyone who is knocked out of such a large fortune will be heartbroken!

They listened to Ye Tian's suggestion, and left from the air in an Airbus H155, and the escort vehicle and SAT armored car on the ground followed up synchronously, just as a cover cover!

By the time the Airbus H155 roared from the hotel's rooftop tarmac, trading in the conference room had already begun again.

Sitting opposite Ye Tian this time was Isaac, director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and several staff members from this museum, as well as the senior management of AXA Art Insurance Company.

In addition to them, there are also a lot of artworks in the conference room, and all of them are paintings, some from China, some from Europe and the United States.

As before, several museum experts were the first to take the stage, and the conclusions were quickly reached.

"Isaac, after identification, we can say with great certainty that this is the batch of top artworks stolen from our museum, and each one of them is genuine, there is no doubt about it!

Renoir's "Out of the Bath", Gainsborough's "Riverscape", Pissarro's "Avenue in the Snow", we were able to take them all back, it was a wonderful day!

It's a pity that Li Tang's "Autumn Colors of the Mountains and Rivers" in the Southern Song Dynasty, Ni Zhan's "Night Return in the Maple Forest" in the Yuan Dynasty, and the "Songgu Mountain Village" of the Bada Shanren in the early Qing Dynasty, these three top Chinese artworks are leaving us!

Picasso's "Woman by the Sea" is indeed his work two years after he founded Cubism, there are three paintings on the same theme, each of which can be called a masterpiece of art, and is one of Picasso's masterpieces!

Swapping our collection of Chinese art for this Picasso painting, we raise our hands in favor, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston needs such heavyweight artworks, it will make our museum more outstanding!"

An expert at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, read out the results of the appraisal and was very emotional.

At the same time, the eyes of Isaac and the rest of the experts were all focused on the Picasso painting, and their eyes were extremely hot, and they were reluctant to take it off for a moment.

This Picasso's "Woman by the Sea" is an ownerless famous painting, which already belonged to Ye Tian at this time, and was exchanged by him for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

The target of the exchange is those three famous paintings of ancient China, as well as three other famous paintings from ancient China, as well as a large sum of green dollars.

The three famous paintings of Li Tang, Ni Zan and Bada Shanren in the stolen artworks should have belonged to Ye Tian, of course he would not be polite!

What really matches Picasso's paintings are three other famous Chinese paintings and a large sum of cash!

Compared with Picasso's paintings, the market value of the three famous ancient Chinese paintings is obviously far less, so they will be exchanged for three, and a large amount of cash will be added!

In this transaction, both parties have their own gains.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, paid for a few famous Chinese paintings, but got a work from the peak of the top art masters, so I am naturally very happy!

As for that large sum of dollars, to put it bluntly, it was not taken out of their pockets.

That money is basically the insurance compensation paid by Prologis Art Insurance Company before, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, only paid less than $5 million, so there is nothing to be reluctant about!

In this respect, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has not much to lose.

Needless to say, Ye Tian not only got six famous ancient Chinese paintings, each of which was a top-notch work of art, but also earned a large sum of dollars, which was definitely a big profit!

From this point of view, it seems that only Prologis Art Insurance Company has suffered losses, but it is not.

For them, this insurance compensation was originally ready to be lost, and they didn't think that they could recover it, but now they can recover half of it, which is already a surprise!

Even so, they are not prepared to bear this loss.

It is the international art thieves led by Thompson who really bear these losses! And those unscrupulous collectors!

Soon, Prologis Art Insurance will take all of these guys to court and pass on all the losses to them.

There is also an even more important reason why Prologis Art Insurance is not averse to the deal at hand!

The FBI's Art Crime Unit found the diary that recorded the sale of the stolen goods, and began to summon unscrupulous collectors who had collected the stolen goods!

Next, more stolen antique artworks will surface, and the compensation paid by various art insurance companies will naturally continue to return!

For insurance companies, that's all that matters!

As soon as the expert read out the conclusions, Isaac couldn't wait to push a check over.

"Steven, let's start trading, this is a $30 million cash check, ready to be cashed at any time, the few Chinese artworks you named are right in front of your eyes, and they can be traded!"

After speaking, he stared at Ye Tian closely, expecting to hear the answer he wanted most.

But Ye Tian shook his head and said with a chuckle:

"Mr. Isaac, don't worry, I haven't appraised these ancient Chinese paintings you brought yet, and when the appraisal is completed, it's not too late for us to trade!"

"Okay, please, though I don't think it's necessary!"

Isaac said helplessly, and could only hold back his temperament and continue to wait.

Then, Ye Tian got up and walked to the three famous Chinese paintings he had just picked up from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and began another one-man show.

As before, his identification was rapid.

While Isaac was still stunned and screaming, he had finished his appraisal and sat back down at the conference table.

"OK, Mr. Isaac, it's time to start trading!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, waking up a few people on the other side.

Then, the two sides entered the transaction link, and everything went very smoothly.

Ten minutes later, Isaac and his entourage walked out of the conference room, leaving the Bartley Hotel with four top paintings and brisk steps, and returning to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

When Isaac and the others left, they were escorted back by the Boston Police SAT SWAT and the museum's own security forces, and it was very safe!

On the side of the conference room, Ye Tian had already picked up the check for $30 million, and his smile was extremely bright!

Mattis and Jason were quickly packing up and putting all the six famous ancient Chinese paintings they had newly arrived in a makeshift safe prepared in advance.

In just two or three minutes, everything was all in order.

"Jason, please come in with a couple of gentlemen from the Harvard University Museum, and bring in the four stolen antique artworks that belonged to them, so that you can start the next deal!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, the whole person was radiant, looking very confident and full of fighting spirit!

"Okay!"

Jason answered excitedly, then turned and walked out of the conference room, with the wind under his feet.

Soon, the Harvard University Museum group entered the conference room, and everyone looked suave and elegant, looking unhurried!

But the glint of excitement in their eyes revealed the truest emotions in their hearts.

These people don't have Chinese antiques and artworks at hand, and their solution to the problem is very simple, that is, to use money to smash it, when has Harvard University been short of money!

Besides, they don't actually pay much, most of them are insurance claims.

Seeing them come in, Ye Tian immediately stood up, and at the same time said secretly in his heart:

"Don't be polite to them, this is a bunch of guys who are not bad for money, they can be slaughtered!"

Of course, these words cannot be spoken, and what he said is a completely different set of words.

"Gentlemen, please be seated, it is a great pleasure to sit across from you!"

"Don't be so polite, Steven, as long as you kid shows mercy, that's better than anything else!"

Robert said with a wry smile, obviously having the consciousness of being slaughtered.

"Hahaha"

In the midst of laughter, several people sat down one after another.

Inside the ballroom.

People gathered in groups to gossip, and the topics they talked about were basically the same.

Either the international art crime syndicate led by Thompson, or the stolen top artworks at the scene, or Ye Tianhe's ongoing transactions, etc.!

While chatting, everyone was also tasting fine wine!

Everyone in the banquet hall basically holds a champagne glass in their hand, and the amber top champagne in the wine glass exudes a mellow taste!

In addition to fine wines, the banquet hall also serves some of Boston's best food and desserts.

However, the focus of many people at the scene was not on food and wine, but on the makeshift conference room in the corner of the banquet hall.

As everyone left the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston satisfied, the Harvard University Museum and his party walked into the conference room, and the banquet hall couldn't help but resound with a burst of discussion.

"Wow! The transaction is so fast, how long has it been! It's time to get to the third museum, doesn't Steven identify those Chinese antiques?"

"How can it not be appraised? This situation only shows one point, that Steven's speed of appraising antiques is so fast that it can't be measured by common sense!"

Five minutes passed quickly.

The door to the makeshift conference room opened again, and the Harvard University Museum group walked out, holding four antique artworks that originally belonged to their museum, and everyone was smiling brightly.

Immediately after, representatives of another museum were invited into the conference room by Jason!

The deal continues!
