Chapter 1022: Approaching the Goal

In the rest of the reception room, he pretended to knock and knock, carefully investigated, and when the scene was done, Ye Tian came to the place where the treasure was really hidden.

This is the west wall of the reception room, which, like the rest of the room, is clad in light brown cherry planks, solemn, elegant, and exudes an air of luxury.

The entire wall was empty and drab, with no ornaments, no furniture, not to mention valuable antique art.

If you look closer, you can see some marks left on the walls and floor, which should have been treated with some treatment, although it is very shallow, but it can still be found!

Judging from these marks, there was once a painting hanging on this wall, and two pieces of furniture were placed on the floor in front of it, which should have been a two-seater sofa and a side table!

Adjacent to this wall is a tall and bright window, through which you can see the green lung of New York and the most beautiful place in New York, Central Park.

The sofa that had been placed here was in a perfect position right in front of this window.

The person sitting on the sofa looks back at the verdant and green! In the modern city of New York, which is full of high-rise buildings, it is particularly rare and a very good enjoyment.

Ye Tian, who was standing in front of this wall, saw the lush Central Park at a glance through the window, and also saw the crowd of onlookers gathered on the grass of the park.

Among the onlookers downstairs, there are many reporters from major news media in New York, who are holding long guns and short cannons in their hands, and shooting wildly upstairs.

Almost at the same time that Ye Tian saw them, these guys also discovered Ye Tian's figure through the telephoto lens on the camera.

"Look! That guy Steven has appeared, right next to the window facing the street! Observing the wall next to the window!"

With a shout, almost everyone at the scene looked up, and everyone's expressions were quite excited.

The cameras and video cameras in the hands of many media reporters quickly pointed to the window where Ye Tian was, and the shutter sound rang out one after another.

At this moment, Ye Tianqing's voice suddenly came again, and it reached everyone's ears through various live broadcasts.

If you are familiar with Mr. Ellsworth, you should be familiar with this area, and in this reception room, this is his favorite place, leaving a lot of photos!

In front of this window, there used to be a two-seater sofa from the time of King George I, made of walnut, beautifully made and elegant!

That walnut loveseat from the British royal family is one of the most typical works of the early eighteenth century English furniture from the walnut period, very rare and valuable!

Next to this sofa, next to this wall, there is a side table, which is a piece of Huanghuali furniture from the Ming Dynasty in China, divided into two layers, staggered!

Like the previous Huanghuali hoop chairs, this Huanghuali side table is also worth a lot of money, and it was sold for more than $1 million at the special auction of Jinse Nianhua!

On the upper level of this side table is a beautiful and chic table lamp, composed of a late Ming Dynasty blue and white jade pot spring vase and an antique Tiffany lampshade from the late 19th century!

I can give you a specific figure for the blue and white jade pot spring vase from the late Ming dynasty in China, and its market value should be around $800,000!

"Wow!

There was an exclamation again on the live broadcast end, one after another.

"Oh my God! a single thing is worth tens of millions, even tens of millions of dollars, and this is where people live, and heaven is nothing more than that!"

"It's no wonder that Steven guy stopped messing around on Wall Street and went to an antiques dealership, turning into a professional treasure hunter and a top antique art expert.

With his eyesight, it is obviously easier to make money in an antique shop than on Wall Street, and if you pick up a leak, you can compensate others for their hard work and hard work for a lifetime.

Just when people were talking, the live broadcast screen changed again!

Ye Tian raised his hand and gestured towards the mark on the wall, signaling Jason to point the phone camera there and give a close-up there!

Immediately afterwards, his professional explanation followed.

"Look at this imprint, you can see from the size of the imprint that there used to be a painting hanging here, and the size is not small, about 150 x 80.

What once hung here was an elegant Chinese painting, a masterpiece by Shi Lu, a famous modern Chinese painter and founder of the Chang'an School, "Chunmei Independence".

He is a modern Chinese painter whom Ellsworth likes and admires very much, and this "Spring Plum Independence" is the first Shi Lu work in Ellsworth's collection, which was purchased in the 70s of the last century.

Because of this work, Ellsworth fell in love with Shi Lu's art, and in the 80s of the last century, he acquired a large number of his paintings from the Shi Lu family to enrich his collection.

Under the promotion of Ellsworth, Shi Lu's paintings became the first modern calligraphy and painting works in Chinese mainland to enter the international art market, and were recognized and praised by the international market.

Although An Siyuan has a lot of Shi Lu's paintings, his favorite is still this "Chunmei Independence", which is very good in terms of painting techniques, artistic conception, and calligraphy!

It is precisely because of his love for this painting that he hung this "Spring Plum Independence" here, so that it can be enjoyed and appreciated at any time, and it has become his favorite place to stay.

Because he likes to stay here, we can see this Chinese painting in many of his photos, and see the hard and strange ink plum blossoms that bloom proudly!

After Ellsworth's death, his favorite Shi Lu painting, "Spring Plum Independence", was also auctioned at Christie's, and the final hammer price was $3.52 million!

All the other Shi Lu paintings in his collection were also auctioned off, but none of them sold for more than this one, which shows what a wonderful work of art this is!"

"Wow! Another multi-million dollar piece of art, but unfortunately not mine!"

The exclamation sounded again, permeating every live broadcast.

Those melon-eating people who are watching this treasure hunt live broadcast have red eyes with envy, and they are going crazy!

After suppressing his excitement a little, Ye Tian continued:

This "Spring Plum Independence" is one of Ellsworth's favorite paintings, but when it comes to love, it is far less than the huge, turquoise jade ring he wears on his hand.

Mr. Ellsworth has left us, may he rest in peace in heaven! His collection of more than 2,000 antique works of art has been auctioned off in accordance with his wishes.

However, the only thing missing was the jade ring, although he had said that before he died, he would swallow the jade ring in his stomach and bring it into a coffin to bury himself!

I don't know if anyone else believes this, but I definitely don't believe that Ellsworth would do this, it's a very crazy, but stupid idea, and smart people don't do that kind of thing!

Ellsworth was obviously a very clever man, so where would he hide that priceless jade ring? Could it be here? a place he loved to stay in.

Maybe I'll find a surprise here, find that famous and priceless jade ring, and put an end to this unsolved case in the field of antique art collecting!

Having said all that, it's time to get to the point, everyone follow me to discover the treasure, don't go away, a miracle may happen in the next second, it's a pity to miss it!"

With that, Ye Tian took a step forward and began to probe the wall in front of him.

Under the instigation of his words, the atmosphere on the live broadcast side became hotter, and everyone watched the live broadcast intently, looking forward to witnessing the miracle!
