Chapter 554: Huge Reward (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)
The curtains were closed, and the light in the conference room suddenly dimmed.
A beam of light shoots out from the portable projector on the table and hits the white curtain in front of the conference table, reflecting the image on the laptop screen.
Everyone in the conference room looked at the hanging white curtain, and every pair of eyes was full of anticipation, and their eyes were hot and hot!
In particular, Blanton, the director of the Gardner Museum, was even more excited, stood up directly from his seat, took two steps forward, and couldn't wait to put his eyes on the white curtain!
"Gentlemen, please pay attention, these videos and pictures are burned immediately after reading, everyone read carefully, there is only one chance, don't miss it!
When showing the video materials and related pictures, I will give a brief explanation, as well as the most accurate appraisal opinions, through which everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of these top artworks!"
Before clicking to play the video, Ye Tian first took a preventive shot.
"I'm ready, Steven, let's start playing!"
Blanton lifted his glasses, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Yes, gentlemen, the exciting time has arrived, 13 top works of art that have been lost for more than 20 years are about to be reproduced here, please look at the projection screen!"
Ye Tian once again rendered the atmosphere, and then clicked on the edited video and began to display those beautiful top-level antique artworks.
As soon as the projection screen changed, a top-level painting that everyone at the scene was very familiar with clearly appeared on the projection screen in front of it.
At the same time, Ye Tian's professional explanation and accurate identification also followed.
"Look, this is the masterpiece of Rembrandt, the greatest painter of the 17th century in Europe and the greatest painter of the Netherlands,......"
Only Ye Tian's voice echoed in the conference room, and beyond that, there was a sound of rapid breathing!
Everyone was staring at the projection screen, their eyes were full of frenzy, their faces were red with excitement, and Brandon was even in tears, showing signs of swinging!
“...... After more than 20 years, this painting is still intact, I have to say that it is a miracle, it is the luck of the Gardner Museum, and it is also my luck!"
Explanations and accurate appraisals continue to reach everyone's ears, and more details of this top oil painting are also presented to everyone.
There are many close-ups in this, which were shot by Ye Tian from the perspective of professionals, coupled with post-technical processing, which makes this video very convincing and almost undoubted!
The video of the first painting was played quickly, and Ye Tian clicked the pause button and temporarily interrupted the playback.
The reason why he did this was to give everyone an emotional buffer, so as not to get too excited and affect the effect of watching the follow-up content.
When everyone's mood calms down, it's not too late to play the follow-up content!
Obviously, this is the right thing to do.
"Oh my God! It's 100 percent Rembrandt's Storm of the Sea of Galilee, no doubt! I saw it every day when I was young, and I could never be mistaken!"
Blanton muttered to himself in despair, and the whole person was about to go crazy with excitement.
After working at the Gardner Museum for half his life, how could he not be ecstatic to see the revival of a top-notch collection that had been lost for more than 20 years and that everyone thought was no longer there?
Fortunately, this old man did not have a heart attack, otherwise he would have passed on the spot!
"Oh my God, it's Storm of the Sea of Galilee, and it's unbelievably well preserved, Steven is right, it's a miracle, a miracle for all!"
Isaac kept sighing, looking intoxicated.
In addition to being the director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, he is also a well-known expert with a sharp eye, so he can quickly identify the authenticity of this painting!
Kerton and Joey, both of whom were completely overwhelmed by ecstasy at this time, were almost unable to find the north!
In their eyes, what they see is not only the top famous painting on the projection screen, but also the road to the sky, as well as countless green dollars!
Either of these things is enough to drive people crazy!
The rest of the guys did the same, everyone was so excited that they almost cheered.
"Bang Bang"
Ye Tian slapped his slap twice, waking up all the guys who were obsessed.
Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at him, and every look was different, including gratitude, appreciation, envy, and jealousy that could not be concealed!
"Gentlemen, this is just the beginning, more exciting is yet to come!
I hope you can control your emotions and don't get too excited, your body is the most important thing! I don't want to interrupt the broadcast and send someone to the hospital, then the gain outweighs the loss!"
Ye Tian said jokingly, enlivening the atmosphere.
"Hahaha"
There was laughter in the conference room, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and everyone's mood relaxed.
"Steven, keep playing the video, my heart is strong enough to withstand this huge surprise and enjoy this sudden happiness!"
Brandon said gleefully, with an impatient expression on his face.
"OK!
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and then clicked the play button.
As soon as the picture on the projection screen changed, another Rembrandt appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and Ye Tian's explanation and appraisal opinions came to everyone's ears again, very clear and extremely firm!
As this video continued to play, Ye Tian was no longer the only one in the conference room.
Exclamations, exclamations, discussions, and professional comments, all kinds of voices are endless, very lively!
The guys on the other side of the conference table were smiling very brightly and full of sunshine, and in their eyes, today was undoubtedly the most perfect day!
David and the others are also full of smiles, but their smiles are full of deep meaning, revealing a bit of a good show.
Looking at the few sunny guys opposite, Ye Tian secretly said in his heart:
"While you can still laugh now, you can laugh to your heart's content! When you hear your buddy's request, I guess you won't be able to laugh out loud anymore, just don't play with your buddy when the time comes!"
Four or five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the video material was played to the final stage.
“...... This is Degas's sketch "The Three Riders", a beautiful painting, 100% authentic, no doubt!"
The voice fell, and the video screen stopped playing.
Blanton, and the others were about to take a look at it, when the picture on the projection screen suddenly changed, startling everyone!
The stopped playing screen actually burned, and a red flame appeared out of thin air, jumping from the bottom and burning from the bottom, quickly burning the Degas painting on the screen to ashes.
Immediately afterwards, another "Concert" written by De Haszen, painted in 1884, appeared on the canvas and was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
This is not the end of the story, 13 top artworks stolen from the Gardner Museum in 1990 have all been burned to the ground on the projection screens!
"Ah——!h
A few guys on the other side stood up with loud exclaims, looking at the projection screen one by one in amazement, with shocked expressions on their faces!
Blanton's muscles were even more exposed, his eyes were about to crack, and he seemed ready to rush forward and tear the white curtain at any moment.
Even David and the others were startled by this picture and almost jumped up from their respective seats.
They didn't expect that Ye Tian would actually play such a hand, which would be eye-catching!
"Gentlemen, don't be impatient, this is just a special effect of burning after reading! It was specially made to relieve everyone's boredom, how about it, realistic enough, exciting enough, right?
Rest assured, the top artworks have not been damaged in any way and are still in good condition in the warehouse on the video, waiting for us to remove them together!"
Ye Tian explained with a chuckle, a little smug in his tone.
It's a special effect he asks Kenny to make, and in addition to being entertaining, it's also a reminder of what Brandon means about them.
It's a joke for you to accept my offer!
If you don't accept my terms, or even plan to get rid of your buddies and monopolize these top artworks, then no one can guarantee that this joke will not come true!
Anything is possible!
"Hoo ——!"
The guys on the other side let out a sigh of relief and sat down, their expressions of horror quickly disappearing from their faces.
But when they think of the picture just now, each of them still has lingering palpitations!
Burning down all the top antique artworks, though it's very unlikely, can't seem to be ruled out!
God knows what crazy things that bastard will do!
After calming down a little, Blanton immediately laughed and scolded angrily:
"Steven, what a bastard, are you such a joke? Even if I didn't have a heart attack, I was almost scared out of a heart attack!"
"Hahaha, Brandon, proper scare and stimulation should be good for your physical and mental health, you should be grateful, not call me a bastard!"
Ye Tian said with a big smile, his expression was very relaxed.
"Of course I want to thank you, but thank you for helping us recover these top works of art that have been stolen for more than 20 years, which is very important to the Gardner Museum!
The empty frames that hung in our museum can finally be removed! When these stolen paintings return to the museum, the Gardner Museum will be truly reborn!
After the 1990 theft, we offered a $5 million reward to find the whereabouts of the artworks, and after more than two decades, the reward had been raised to $20 million.
As long as this case is solved and the 13 top artworks are returned to the Gardner Museum, the $20 million bounty will be yours, Steven, and we will honor it right away!
Blanton said with a serious expression, and his words were very earnest.
Hearing these words, the eyes of everyone at the scene instantly lit up, and they all looked at Ye Tian, each pair of eyes full of envy.
$20 million! What a huge fortune, who can not envy it?
But Ye Tian, as the party concerned, did not show too much excitement, but just smiled softly.
"Blanton, let's not talk about the bounty for the time being, let's watch the video first, I also have the video of the stolen antique artwork from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the video of the stolen antique artwork at the Harvard University Museum.
Don't you see? Isaac and Robert can't wait! After all the videos are over, let's talk about the bounty, and there will be time, so we can sit down and talk slowly!"
While saying this, Ye Tian also secretly said in his heart:
"20 million dollars just want to send buddies! Dream on, there are no doors!"
