Some people chose to accept Ye Tian's conditions, while others disagreed.

The director of the National Gallery of the United States stood up and said with a solemn face:

"Steven, I still can't accept this offer to let you take 50% of the stolen antique artwork on the video, although the list of stolen goods you are talking about is very tempting.

Those stolen antiques belong not only to our gallery, but also to the whole public, and if they are successfully recovered, some of them fall into your hands, and we are afraid that we will not be able to account for them to the public!"

Obviously, this man is afraid of responsibility, afraid of not being able to face the accountability of the media and the public.

This is indeed a very real problem, so that the media and the public will not consider the probability of the recovery of the stolen antiques, they will only focus on the stolen antiques themselves.

In their opinion, as long as the stolen antiques and artworks are recovered, after paying the public reward, then all the museums should be recovered, and no one should be missing!

If they know that some of the stolen antique artworks were swallowed by Ye Tian, the museum will indeed have to bear a lot of pressure, and even be held accountable!

There is both the fact that stolen antiques are public property, and there is no element of jealousy!

Of course, private museums and famous collectors are a different story!

The words of the head of the National Gallery of the United States were a problem that many museum directors present had to face, and there was immediately a discussion in the conference room, and everyone began to discuss in a low voice!

For this problem, Ye Tian has already thought of a coping strategy, so he is not surprised, someone will always bring it up, sooner or later!

He stretched out his hands again and pressed them down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

When the discussion subsided a little, he immediately smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, I have considered this problem for a long time, and found a more suitable solution, you can listen to me, I believe, everyone should be able to accept this solution!"

"Okay, tell me how to solve this problem?"

The head of the National Gallery said, with a bit of curiosity.

The rest of the people were the same, they all looked at Ye Tian curiously, expecting his answer.

Ye Tian smiled and nodded at everyone, and then began to talk about his solution.

"I know that everyone is reluctant to give up those stolen antique artworks, which I can understand, they are all top antique artworks, the artistic value and market value are extraordinary, who can be willing?

After the case was successfully solved and some of the stolen antique artworks were obtained, everyone was welcome to come to me to trade privately, and the goods traded, of course, were those stolen antique artworks, and the price was the current market price!

In this way, all the stolen antiques can be successfully retrieved, put back in the exhibition hall, and displayed in front of the public, and what excuse does the media and the public have to hold accountable for this outcome?

In addition, through the list of stolen art thieves, you will be able to recover more stolen antique artworks, and then the media and the public will not be harsh, but will only praise them!"

"Steven, you're such a greedy bastard with nothing but money in your eyes!"

Blanton, the director of the Gardner Museum, laughed and scolded angrily, his eyes were incomparably bright, and he was very excited.

At this moment, he saw the hope of recovering all the stolen artworks, and if he could recover all 13 stolen top artworks, it would be perfect!

Of course, buying back funds is not a small problem.

In addition to the museum's own funds, it is only possible to find a way to find those billionaires and many trustees who support the museum!

If you really can't do it, you can also find a bank loan, or sell some inventory of antique art, I believe there will always be a way!

As soon as Blanton's words ended, the director of the Art Institute of Chicago immediately continued:

"That's a good idea, but where does the buyback money come from? It's all top-quality antique art, each one is worth a lot of money, and you're going to sell it at the market price, where are we going to raise such a lot of money?"

Ye Tian nodded at the other party and replied calmly:

"As far as I know, except for the 13 top antiques that were stolen from the Gardner Museum more than 20 years ago, all the other stolen antiques have been covered by art insurance.

After the theft of these antique artworks, the stolen museums must have received the corresponding insurance compensation, the amount may be more or less, but it should be the market price at the time, I am not wrong, right?"

"That's right, our insurance company did pay the compensation at the market price at the time, and it was very timely and there was no arrears!"

The representative of AXA Art Insurance Company nodded in response, and the representatives of the other insurance companies also nodded in acknowledgement.

Even museums can't deny this, and the compensation money has indeed gone into their pockets.

Only Blanton rolled Ye Tianyi's eyes angrily, you bastard really can't open a pot! This is using us as a negative teaching material! It's too inauthentic!

After glancing at everyone's reactions, Ye Tian continued:

"When these stolen antiques and artworks are recovered, if your museums want to get these treasures back, they must return the insurance compensation they received at the beginning, and everyone knows this!

At that time, some of the stolen antique artworks should have belonged to me, and if you want to get these treasures back, the corresponding insurance compensation should naturally be converted into repurchase funds!

There will be some premiums here, and the funds for these premiums can only be borne by the museums, and I believe that there will not be too much!

In addition, there are some things that need to be coordinated between museums and art insurance companies, and I believe it will not be difficult for you to reach an agreement and get a happy result!"

Hearing these words, the eyes of many museum owners at the scene suddenly lit up!

Steven is right! There are also insurance claims to be used, so that the cost of repurchase will definitely be greatly reduced, and it is not unaffordable.

Thinking of this, the owners of several museums that have only been stolen in recent years immediately smiled, looked particularly excited, and even almost cheered.

Because their museum was stolen very closely, the premium of the corresponding antique artwork is naturally relatively small!

This means that they don't have to spend much money, they only need to return the insurance compensation, and they can basically get back all the stolen antiques and artworks, and the loss is almost negligible!

Museum owners who have been stolen for a long time are less excited.

Because their stolen antique artworks have a lot of premiums, and the cost of buying them back is relatively high.

Even so, it would save a lot of buyback costs, and they were very excited.

They were not the only ones who were excited, but also the owners of several private museums, several famous collectors, and art dealers who came on behalf of their clients.

"Steven, you guys have gone to great lengths to make money!

Julian quipped, smiling brightly.

"Hahaha"

There was a hearty laugh in the room, and every voice was very excited.

Of course, there are also those who feel unhappy, that is, those senior executives of art insurance companies!

When the laughter fell, the representative of AXA Art Insurance Company said with a wry smile:

"Steven, you are so inauthentic, only our insurance company is the one who co-authors!"

"Hahaha"

The scene immediately erupted in laughter, and everyone was amused by this.

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, then said with a smile:

"Who says you're wronged? You know, these art thieves have been around for more than 20 years, and they're so crazy that they've amassed a very staggering fortune!

And then there are the unscrupulous collectors who are obsessed with collecting top antique art, and they must all be rich and have dollars in their hands!

You can sue these guys to make up for your losses, which include the cost of capital such as interest and inflation, as well as the manpower and material resources you expend!

What a good thing you have to lose? Maybe you can make a lot of money! It's even better than keeping your money in the bank!"

Everyone at the scene was completely dumbfounded, and they all looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded.

How did this guy Steven come up with this? It's a monster!

has a lot of eyes like a hornet's nest, and it is worthy of being mixed up on Wall Street, and he is really shrewd to the extreme!

After the shock, the eyes of the representatives of several art insurance companies immediately lit up and became unusually bright.

That's a good idea! You can definitely try it, and the probability of success seems to be very high!

The FBI's Joey and the deputy director were annoyed, and they both glared at Ye Tian through gritted teeth.

What a bastard! It's disgusting to instigate others to steal food from our jobs!
