Chapter 461: Expensive Thanksgiving Gifts (For the Head of the Sect, Dr. Ye)
Ichimatheu's mood quickly calmed down, and the worry in his and Evelyn's eyes disappeared, they didn't intend to interfere with Logan's desire to participate in the treasure hunt.
Since it was a joint treasure hunt with Columbia University and the Costa Rican government, it must have been very safe and there was no need to worry about Logan's accident.
It's not like Steven's previous treasure hunts, which are terrifying to listen to.
While acquiescing to Logan's participation in this treasure hunt, Matthew and his wife are also shocked in their hearts.
Steven's plan is too big! His ambition is even greater! He is planning such a high-level treasure hunt, what a crazy guy!
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian found a gap and whispered in Betty's ear:
"Honey, bring out the gifts we brought"
"Okay!"
Betty answered excitedly.
Then, she immediately got up and pulled a suitcase next to her, placed it on the floor and opened it.
Looking at Ye Tian and Betty's movements, Matthew and the three of them were a little surprised, but they didn't say anything, they just watched puzzled, waiting for the result!
The answer will soon be revealed!
Betty first took out an oak box of wine from the suitcase and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of her, then took out a picture frame wrapped in white cloth and placed it on the coffee table.
With that, she immediately closed the suitcase again, pushed it aside, and sat back on the couch herself.
It's time for Ye Tian to play!
He got up from his seat, picked up the oak box with both hands, and walked over to give it to Matthew.
"Mr. Walter, I came to visit Boston this time, I don't know what gift to bring, so I brought you a bottle of red wine, please accept it, talk about it, I hope you like this gift"
"Thank you, Steven, this is a great gift, I'll take it!"
Matthew didn't pretend to be polite or prevaricated, and reached out to take the oak box.
However, when he saw the logo and the lettering on the oak box, his face immediately changed, and his breathing became short!
And his eyes were full of surprise and expectation!
Without a moment's pause, he immediately put the oak box on the coffee table, suppressed his excitement, and quickly opened the oak box.
Immediately afterward, an exclamation sounded in everyone's ears, and the sound was full of surprise, followed by a series of compliments!
"Oh my God! 1947 Bordeaux Blanc Blanc! The best vintage of Blanc Blanc, one of the best red wines in the world, collectible red wines, it is so rare!
At the same time as he exclaimed, Matthew was already so excited that he couldn't sit still.
He stretched out his hands and gently rubbed the bottle of 1947 White Horse Red Wine, his movements were extremely careful and gentle! lest it bring any damage to this bottle of top red wine! In the face of his first love, he was no more than that.
Seeing him in this state, Ye Tian and Betty immediately looked at each other and smiled, both very happy.
Obviously, for Matthew, this bottle of red wine is the perfect gift, and there is no other choice!
The old man likes to drink red wine and also likes to collect red wine, Ye Tian is what he likes, and he is naturally invincible!
After intoxicating and appreciating, Matthew came to his senses, then looked at Ye Tian and said:
"Steven, I can't accept this gift, it's too valuable! But I still want to thank you for letting me see the best red wine, although I can't have it, but I'm satisfied!"
"Matthew, is this bottle of red wine expensive? isn't it just a bottle of red wine?"
Evelyn interjected, puzzled.
"This is a collector's gift, the 1947 Blanc Blanc, the best vintage, produced in the Saint-Emilion region of Bordeaux, France.
This bottle of red wine is worth $130,000, and it has no price, and there is nowhere to buy it with money, so I said I can't accept this gift, it's too expensive!"
Matthew quickly explained, and then pushed the oak box back in front of Ye Tian, with a look of reluctance!
"Oh my God, $130,000 a bottle of wine, I'm not dreaming, am I? Or am I hallucinating?"
Evelyn and Logan both exclaimed, looking at the bottle of red wine in the oak box in shock, looking at Ye Tian with a relaxed demeanor!
Steven's hand is so big, he deserves to be a billionaire, and he doesn't take dollars as money at all!
130,000 US dollars only bought a bottle of red wine, and gave it away, and I was really willing to give it away!
You know, Matthew only earns more than $100,000 a year of hard work, which is still a pre-tax salary, and it will definitely shrink significantly after paying taxes.
And his family's living expenses throughout the year rely on this salary! Life is not bad, more than the upper than the bottom!
But this money is not worth even a bottle of red wine in Steven's place!
Both Logan and Evelyn instantly felt a bit dreamy unreal, and Matthew was no different!
"Mr. Walter, take this gift, it's not a very expensive gift, Betty once told me that you like to drink red wine and collect red wine, so I thought of giving you red wine!
There was a special auction of 'Rare Wines' at the New York Autumn Auction, and I also participated in it, and this bottle of red wine was photographed at that time, and it was specially prepared for you!
Ye Tian smiled and explained the reason, and pushed the bottle of White Horse Red Wine back in front of Matthew.
"Dad, you just take this bottle of the wine bar, this is Steven's heart, don't shirk it! Besides, we don't want to take it back to New York, don't we just mess around?"
Betty interjected, trying to persuade her father.
Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help but hesitate, and his heart was constantly engaged in a struggle of thoughts.
Do you take this bottle of fine wine? Or do you accept this bottle of top wine?
Matthew couldn't think of any reason to refuse, maybe deep down he didn't want to refuse at all, he wasn't willing to refuse at all, so he couldn't find any reason!
This bottle of red wine is so tempting!
After a moment's hesitation, he made a seemingly difficult decision.
"In that case, I'll take this bottle of wine, thank you, Steven, it's the best Thanksgiving gift I've ever received, it's unbeatable!"
When he said this, his face was already red with excitement, and his hands kept stroking the oak box on the coffee table, and he was reluctant to move it for a moment!
"You're welcome, Mr. Walter, it's just a bottle of wine, and if you like it, that's the best value!"
Ye Tian said politely, the old man's pole has been completely won!
As soon as he finished speaking, Logan immediately continued:
"Dad, why don't you open this bottle of red wine now? Let me taste the taste of top red wine, a bottle of red wine for $130,000 must be extremely sweet!
"Stay and go!
Evelyn raised her eyebrows and scolded, her expression very excited.
In her eyes, this is definitely not as simple as a bottle of red wine, it will be the most valuable collection in this family, and it will be a lot of wealth!
"This 1947 Bordeaux Blanc will be my most important collection in the future, no one wants to touch it, you kid wants to taste it, don't even think about it!
Matthew glared at Logan and said categorically.
Lao Tzu will point to this bottle of red wine in the future!
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the living room, which was cheerful and transparent!
When the laughter fell, Ye Tian picked up the picture frame again, gently removed the white cloth covering it, and then displayed the painting in front of everyone.
This is an oil painting on canvas, about 30 x 40 in size, depicting Venice, Italy, which can be identified from the large number of buildings near the water, as well as the gondora coming and going on the river, there is no semicolon!
The painting looks very historic, the previous maintenance environment may not be ideal, the frame is a little old, the picture is slightly faded, but it is not serious!
This painter's painting technique is excellent, whether it is landscapes, buildings, ships, or people, they are all very good, and there is a vague master's style.
Unfortunately, there is no author's signature on this painting.
If there is no relevant record in the literature, and the inheritance cannot be verified, it is difficult to prove which artist the painting came from, and it will greatly reduce the value of the painting.
But here in Ye Tian, these problems don't exist at all!
He knows better than anyone which artist this is the work of, and he understands the artistic value and market value of this painting even more!
Looking at the painting displayed in front of them, Matthew and the others were fascinated by the beautiful scenery in the painting and the artist's exquisite painting techniques, and they couldn't take their eyes off this oil painting!
Betty is the same, although she has admired it several times and seen it again, she is still impressed by the charm of art!
After about two or three minutes of display, Ye Tianfang smiled and said:
"Mrs. Walter, I plan to give you this oil painting as a Thanksgiving gift, I hope you will like it, and I hope this oil painting can decorate this home more beautifully!"
After speaking, Ye Tian put the oil painting in front of Evelyn.
"Ah, Steven, are you really going to give me this painting? I heard me right? What a remarkable work of art! It's so beautiful!"
Evelyn came to her senses and immediately exclaimed in disbelief and asked.
And then there was a barrage of compliments!
Apparently, she loved the painting very much!
