The discussion subsided slightly, and Ye Tian's voice immediately reached everyone's ears again.

"Here, I must state one thing in advance, those antiques from China, I do not plan to sell, but I am going to collect them myself or bring them back to China.

As you know, I'm from China, and I prefer antiques from my own country, because they give me a sense of kinship, and I'm sure people can understand what I do.

The best market for antiques is not in the United States, or any other country, but in China, where people know how to appreciate them best, and understand their beauty!

Before the words fell, someone was already in a hurry.

Isaac, the director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, pushed away his chair and stood up suddenly, and said with a white face:

"Steven, how can you not be trustworthy? Many of the antique artworks stolen from our museum are from China, and we are ready to buy them back!"

"That's right, it's the same in our museum, there are also two Chinese paintings, both of which are named by you and want to leave, and we also want to buy back these two paintings!"

The director of the New Haven Museum of Art echoed, his face a little unpleasant.

"We all understand that you Chinese do prefer antique art from your own country, but is it a little inappropriate for you to do this?"

The director of the Barnes Museum said coldly that a stolen calligraphy work in their museum was taken by Ye Tian.

The rest of the people are the same, but if there are antique artworks stolen from their museums from China, their faces are a little ugly at this time.

In the face of this situation, Ye Tian still behaved very relaxed, and he couldn't see any nervousness.

After several museum owners finished speaking, he smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, be uneasy, listen to what I have to say, since I have made this request, it must have been well thought out, and I will certainly make amends to you.

The warehouse contained a large number of stolen antiques, some of which were not on the stolen antique catalogue, and most of them came from countries and regions that did not have similar registration systems.

Others come from the war years, or from countries and regions that are still at war, and their original owners are likely no longer alive or have collapsed!

Strictly speaking, these antique works of art are ownerless, and as a professional treasure hunter who discovered them, I have the right to these treasures, there is no doubt about it!

Like other stolen antique artworks, these unclear and undocumented antique artworks are all top-quality goods, including the works of Raphael, Picasso and other masters.

After getting these ownerless stolen antique artworks, I will take out some of them and replace them with those antique artworks from China, I believe this arrangement should be satisfactory to everyone.

For example, if I were to replace three ancient Chinese ink landscapes with one representative work of Picasso's peak, would you be willing to accept that substitution?

"Of course I can't ask for it, can I say it's Picasso's masterpiece? There are so many of his stolen paintings that I can't imagine that it could be in that warehouse!"

Isaac nodded impatiently, excited and about to fly!

In the eyes of these dead foreigners, the ancient Chinese ink landscape paintings covered by clouds and mountains and fog cannot be appreciated at all, and there is no comparison with the representative works of the cubist master Picasso.

Reflected in the market value, the gap between the two is also very huge, and the sum of the three famous ancient Chinese paintings may not be worth the price of one of Picasso's paintings.

Of course, artistic value is another matter, it's too subjective!

Therefore, when he heard Ye Tian's words, Isaac was overjoyed and agreed extremely happily.

He didn't have any doubts about whether Ye Tian could get those ownerless top-level antique artworks.

It is not only a convention for professional treasure hunters to enjoy the benefits of the treasures they find, but also a right granted by law, and no one can deny it!

"I'm sorry, Isaac, this is just a metaphor, it's not convenient to reveal the name of the painting for the time being, don't worry, it won't be long before you see that oil painting!

But I can tell you that the painting was made in 1909, just two years after Les Demoiselles d'Avignon!

Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, without answering Isaac's question.

However, the content of his words was extremely shocking.

"Great! Steven, I love you so much! You actually sent us a painting of Picasso at his peak!"

Isaac cheered directly, almost crazy with excitement.

Isaac was not the only one who was very excited, but several museum owners who had just had an ugly face were already smiling and dancing with their eyebrows!

"Steven, is this true? Replacing antique art from China with works by Western masters, did I hear me right?"

The director of the New Haven Museum of Art asked excitedly, his eyes full of incredulity.

Happiness came so suddenly, he couldn't believe it!

"Of course it's true, Tong Su is not deceived, but the premise is that the value must be equal, at least let me think that the value is equal!

Ye Tian gave an affirmative answer, very confident.

"Great! We also want to get a piece of top art, even if the value is not equal, we have a lot of antique artworks from China, we can take out a few more to match!"

Obviously, this one has already been cleared up and is ready to draw a treasure for his museum!

"This is a very good proposal of yours, I will seriously consider it!"

Ye Tian agreed very happily, how could this kind of God-given opportunity to rob while the fire was burning.

"Steven, you just said that there are Raphael paintings in that warehouse, can you tell us about the specifics? Is it Raphael's work?"

The director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art asked eagerly, his voice trembling a little with excitement.

Every work is priceless, and there is no circulation in the art market today!

Anyone who owns Raphael's paintings or museums must keep them as heirlooms or treasures of the museum, and they are probably as valuable as their own eyeballs!

Now that I heard that there was a Raphael painting in that warehouse, even the director of the Metropolitan Museum, one of the four major museums in the world, couldn't help but be a little excited!
